DEMI

There's no way out of this one, is there?

This is Leon we're talking about. He could drill me for information the whole evening, ditching every plan he might have had.

I end up summarizing the whole thing, leaving out intimate details.

“Gavin claimed I had a lot going on, which is why he decided to take me to his place. On our way out, we were ambushed by the paparazzi, but everything was taken care of. I slept at his place, on his bed, but he took the couch.”

“You're not serious,” his pup

  • Betrayed by my Ex, Became the Billionaire's Obsession    Alive but Absent

    GAVINWhatever doctor Patrick says next, I don't hear. My mind is still stuck on the part where they need to put her in a comma for several weeks. Several fucking weeks.I rake a hand through my hair. Demi is fighting for her life and there's nothing I can do to help. She's going to be here for a while. Oh my God. Someone should wake me up from this nightmare. Because that's what this is.I need to wake up into a world where I can see her. Her smile, her laugh, her frown. Just everything. A world where we can talk and laugh at silly things.Sadly, this is the reality. No matter how many times I blink, I end up coming back to this reality. After the doctor's briefing, I can barely talk to anyone. Fabianna joins us outside the doctor's office. She has a lot of questions. I don't even have it in me to respond to her questions.I take a seat nearby and stare in space. Everything else is just noise to my ears

  • Betrayed by my Ex, Became the Billionaire's Obsession    Medical News

    GAVINLorenzo went too far. I know I'm not overthinking this. Once Reagan and I are done with this investigation, he'll regret setting foot close to Demi.My plan to tip the feds is still on. We are just waiting for Jack's signal. Once everything is set, his deal with the Russians will face a lot of problems. Though right now, my top priority is Demi. Reagan tries to hint about what's going on in the media but I keep dismissing him. That's a crisis I can control later. Besides, I have a team for that.We talk for a while and I lose count of time. By the time I look at my watch, it's almost 11pm.“I have to go to the hospital,” I say, getting on my feet. “No way,” says Reagan.I narrow my eyes on him. “Excuse me?” “I said that's not a good idea.”I squint, wondering what the hell is wrong with my best friend. “Seeing my woman is not a good idea?”“You're not even allowed to see her.”“Yeah, but I need to be there

  • Betrayed by my Ex, Became the Billionaire's Obsession    Losing Control

    GAVINMy mother is pacing in the living room. What’s gotten her like this, I have no idea, because it's definitely not Demi's condition. She sees me and rushes to hug me. Then she cups my cheeks. “Are you alright, son?”I'm not okay.“I'm fine,” I tell her.“I heard what happened,” she proceeds.“To Demi?” She takes a step back. “No. About your arrest.”Oh.Of course. Did I really expect my mother to be worried about my girl?My arrest is old news, and I really don't care about what anyone is saying. I haven't even had time for my phone. Because, again, right now, none of that matters.I walk past my mother, massaging my nape. “Gavin, I've been worried about you. And I've been trying to reach you,” she expresses.“Well, now you've confirmed I'm fine. You can go back to your husband and daughter.”“Daughter?” She raises her brows. “You and Fabianna are fighting?”“Oh.” I force a smi

  • Betrayed by my Ex, Became the Billionaire's Obsession    I can't lose her

    GAVINI don't hear what the doctor says next. My chest feels heavy, again. I'm trying to catch my breath. For a moment, the rest of the world disappears. Only when a hand touches my shoulder do I come back to reality.“Gavin,” Fabianna calls out. I blink a few times. “I'm fine,” I lie.The doctor clears his throat. “I'm so sorry about everything.”Well, this is not the time to be sorry but to be doing his job.“The next twenty-four hours will be crucial,” he proceeds. “We'll do our best.”With those last words he walks away. I suck in a breath and then massage my nape. I have never been in this situation. Where there's absolutely nothing I can do. Maybe transfer her to a better hospital? Right now, I don't think there's a better hospital than Angel Care. Their reputation precedes them. Besides, she's in a critical condition. Transferring her wouldn't make any sense.Maybe I had doubts before, but

  • Betrayed by my Ex, Became the Billionaire's Obsession    Father and Daughter

    GAVIN I hold Fabianna's hand to stop her from going after Janelle. My sister is a crazy one. She turns to me with a glower. “Are you defending her?”“I'm not defending her, Fabianna.”“Good, because I don't want to have to remind you who Janelle Adams is. This was all her plan. She sent threats to Dem,i and now this accident? This was all her. That truck was no accident. You sent it.” She points a finger at Janelle“I had nothing to do with that. I can be everything but I'm not a killer,” Janelle defends.“That's so easy to believe,” Fabianna crosses her arms. “How did you even know Demi was going to use that route?”“You're not making any sense. You're just stressed,” says Janelle.I massage my temples. And let out a sigh.“You don't know anything about my feelings…” Fabianna proceeds. “Okay, okay,” I hold her shoulders. “Now is not the time for this argument. Let me talk to her, ” I coax.She accepts but

  • Betrayed by my Ex, Became the Billionaire's Obsession    Kind Janelle

    GAVINBecause of Janelle's face when she approached, I asked myself, “Who died?”At that moment, it didn't matter. All I wanted was to see Demi.And now…Demi was involved in an accident. My brain goes blank. My world stops as my heart makes a hard beat. My pupils widen. My lips part but now words come off…No.“Her car was hit by a truck.” The terrible news continues to flow. I suddenly can't breathe, because it seems like there's more bad news coming.“Where's she…is she…” the words barely leave my throat. Something heavy, together with my heart drops to my stomach at the thought of the other shoe that might drop.“She's in a critical condition. That's all I know,” Janelle proceeds. Critical condition isn't anything good, but it's better than….than the worst scenarios my head had cooked. I have never been this scared. I regain my breath after a few seconds. My heart coming back to my chest.“Which hospital?” I ask,

    DEMII don't let Gavin finish unbuttoning my shirt. I hold his hand. “No, sir.”“What did you just say?” He asks, and I know why he's suddenly worked up.It's not the fact that I said no. It's the word sir.And I repeat it.“I said, no, sir.”I get up from his lap. He gives me a confused look, righ

What I wonder is why she hasn't caused drama about it. Instea
