All Chapters of The Billionaire Boss Wants His Doting Sweetheart Back: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Skylar sat beside her mother's bed in the general ward she had been recuperating on as she gazed affectionately at her. Her eyes, which were red-rimmed as a result of her endless tears, shimmered with happiness. She was glad that, once again, her mother had fought for her life and won. It had been a crazy and unending journey for her to be in and out of the hospital.Her skin was so pale and there were so many tubes snarked around her body and connected to the beeping machine beside her, which displayed her vitals. However, she still had a smile on her face as she gazed at her daughter. “Mum,” Skylar called wearily, tears trickling down her eyes, “I am so glad you are awake,” she choked out, her voice thick with deep, vulnerable, emotions. Kate, with a weak but tender gaze, squeezed her daughter’s hand into hers, as she spoke even if it was still hard to, “I am sorry you had to go through this alone, Sky. I am so sorry I have been an inefficient mother and all I do is take money fr

Skylar tried to eat a bit more, but each bite felt like an ordeal the more she tried to satiate her hunger. The food, though exquisite, seemed to lose its flavor under the weight of his scrutiny. And finally, at the moment she told him she was done, he rose with his left hand tucked in his pocket. He strutted past her without uttering a word, and Skylar got the message instantly, as she hurried to stand up too. She grabbed the briefcase that was on the chair beside the one he sat on, and scurried after him instantly, her mind still running through thoughts. ‘Just why was this man doing this to her?!’The drive to their destination seemed endless to Skylar, who was seated in the front seat beside the chauffeur, and the stifling atmosphere in the car was almost palpable as the chauffeur navigated through the bustling city streets to borders that led to towns. She sat rigidly in her seat, unable to breathe properly because of how uncomfortable she felt, as she clutched her stomach lig

Stacy didn't know how to feel at that moment as Ivan carried her, and she didn't know how to feel at that moment because it felt like too much pressure. He was her boss, after all, and she was just another worker to him. Yet, here he was, carrying her into the store as if it were the most natural thing in the world.‘Please he should stop killing her with tension and tell her why he was doing this to her!’ As Ivan strode into the nearest elevator and entered as the doors parted, Skylar hoped he would drop her then and give her a space to catch her breath even if he had carried her like he was carrying a bag of feathers in his arms. She counted in her heart for a few seconds, 1, 2, 3 as she waited for him to drop her as soon as the doors closed. However, he remained still on the spot with no intention of dropping her. That was when urgency struck Skylar's heart that he was planning to take her into the mall like that!Goodness! Allowing this man to carry her was the biggest mistake!

Ivan had been numb ever since the email concerning the waitress and the information about the mastermind behind her had been sent to him, and was consumed by the sheer reality that plagued him endlessly. He had strongly hoped that the perpetrators would be the ones who approached him at the party, Marcus and Hermes, so that he could have made them dance to the tune for their malicious act against him. However, he could never have imagined that it would be his own mother who would have arranged for a waitress to have him high on aphrodisiac. He had been so overwhelmed by the shocking revelation of the truth which had him teetering between anger and profound sadness, unable to shake the disbelief and betrayal that gnawed at his insides. The relationship between the two of them was already the worst for a very long time, and they had been apart longer than he could remember, since she loved living her own life without looking back at the adverse effects it had caused him. However,

Doctor Roberts had been with Ivan inside his room for what felt like forever, while Skylar sat in the huge living room, her eyes meandering around the luxurious mansion. It was not the first, second, or third time that she had been to his house in the three years of working with him, but she could not help but be enthralled by the beauty and elegance of the mansion's interiors and exteriors. Everything about his living room, down to the high-end chandeliers hanging above the ceiling, intricate interior designs, with high-end artwork adorning the walls, and every feature being controlled by an integrated home automation system was of great opulence. Skylar remembered the first day she took a tour around his house to find out that he had a standard private gym with top-of-the-line equipment, a home theater with plush reclining seats, a huge pool that could fit the standard measurement for that of the Olympics, a library filled with shelves of first-edition books, and so many features
