Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 108 - The ruling
[Kaden]"All rise," the bailiff's voice thundered through the courtroom, slicing through the thick air.I swallowed hard, shifting in my seat. Richard was to my left, stiff and silent. Cherry sat by my right, her nails tapping impatiently against her thigh. My mother and sister had stormed my house this morning, insisting they had to be here for the final ruling. As for Cherry, she said she came to see the miserable look on Tilda's face when we ripped the kids away from her.For a moment, the urge to snap at her burned hot in my chest when she talked about Tilda in the mannerWe all sat down as the judge took his seat. My jaw clenched as I locked my eyes on the old man.I wasn't nervous but something I couldn’t even name was gnawing in my chest"We are here for the final ruling of Mr. Kaden Donovan and Miss Matilda Millers’ children," the judge announced, his voice cold and distant.I clenched my jaw, forcing myself to stay still"Hey, it's fine. The kids are already coming home with

[Matilda]The sound of the gavel cracked through the room like a gunshot.For a moment, I couldn't move, I couldn't breathe."Impossible," my eyes shifted as Kaden roared. I watched as his mother stood up as well, but whatever they were saying faded into a distant echo as my eyes shifted back to my children.My boys were safe.I have them with me. Kaden did not succeed. We won! Goodness.My lips wobbled as tears rolled down my eyes."We did it," Leo's voice echoed behind me. Goodness, I wanted to pull him in for a very tight hug, but my eyes shifted as I watched Sage leading my babies back to me.My knees immediately met the ground as I opened my arms for my kings. I wrapped my arms around them, tears welling up in my eyes."Oh my babies, I love you, I love you so much... I love you," my voice cracked as I squeezed them tighter, my heart clenchingGod. My babies. Kaden did not fucking win."Mommy, Daddy is shouting," Aiden's voice rang out, and I stiffened. My heart skipped as the sou

[Kaden]"You can't let that happen, never!!" My mother roared as I dragged her out of the courtroom where I saw her threatening Tilda. What the hell did she think she was doing?"Mother, I don't like this one bit," I snapped leading her to the car where their drivers were waiting"No, I should be telling you that Kaden, you said you had this under control. I can't have that bitch have my grandkids," My mother snapped, practically fuming. My eyes shifted to Cherry and my sister as they made their way toward usI could see how Cherry's face darkened. I knew she had a lot to say, but I fucking needed every one of them to just keep shut and let me think"And I still have it under control. But that doesn't give you the reason to threaten her, you're crossing a line,""And why do you care if she's threatened? Who the hell is she that she can't be threatened? I understand what your mother is saying. That bitch can not raise the blood of a Donovan, she's not capable of doing so," Cherry snapp

[Matilda]The soft clinking of plates filled the dining room. Tonight, it wasn’t heavy in my chest like it had been these past few weeks. It felt freeAiden and Austin were seated across the table, devouring their food as if nothing else in the world mattered. I wasn’t sure if they’d ignored what they’d witnessed in the courthouse or if they’d somehow completely forgotten about it. I wasn’t leaning toward the latter. My kids were far too inquisitive for that. But they didn’t say a word about it since we stepped into the house"Congratulations once again, we did it," Leo’s voice broke through my thoughts. His deep tone was warm as he raised his glass in my direction. I shifted my eyes to Julia, before clinking my glass against Leo’s."Thank you," I mumbled, our glasses tapping together softly. He smiled, taking a sip of his wineI knew the kind of man Kaden was, and I knew he wouldn’t take no for an answer. His ego wouldn’t allow it. That much was clear. Kaden Donovan never backed down

[Matilda]The moment Leo’s lips crashed against mine, everything in my body went stiff. At first, the warmth of his mouth felt like a comforting embrace, but then, something shifted. My heart hammered in my chest, thudding so loudly in my ears that I was sure he could hear it. My mind screamed at me. Kiss him back. Just this once. Hold him. Let go. But the more I tried to close my eyes and lose myself in the moment, the more off it felt.The connection wasn’t there. It should’ve been—it should have been, but it wasn’t. My breath caught in my throat, and my body froze in place, resisting him. Leo’s kiss deepened, but my lips stayed unmoving as if betraying the very person who had stood by me through everything. The guilt hit me harder than I expected, settling in the pit of my stomach like a heavy stone.Why couldn’t I kiss him back? Why couldn’t I just let go and feel something for him? Leo wanted me. He cared for me. I could see it in the way he looked at me, how he always stepped i

[Kaden]The past few days have been the most chaotic days of my life. Trying to make sure my mum wouldn't do anything silly. Hell, I knew Vivian Donovan and I know talking her out of it wouldn't work so the the only thing I am doing is keeping track of her. Because I know she can be ruthless when she wants to but they should at least trust me and let me handle thisMy jaw locked as a knock came on the door making me tilt my neck as I stared at the blank laptop I've been trying to work on a thing or two but I just couldn't do anything"Come in," I ordered and the door swung open revealing my PA, "Sir," he walked closer to me with the stacks of files in his hand. "I needed your signatures on these files," He said before dropping the files on the tableI leaned closer and pulled the file closer. I grabbed them one after the other placing my signatures on itMy mind was still a whole mess. Would I be seen as selfish to say I was considering what Cherry said days back even if I wouldn

[Kaden]The drive to the Donovan mansion was too quiet. My hand stayed locked around the steering wheel, tighter than usual. Loretta’s voice wouldn’t stop echoing in my head—and neither would the sound of my mother’s shaky breathing.What the hell was going on?The second I stepped into the mansion, I felt it. Something was off. The air was heavy and tense. I hadn’t even made it halfway down the hall when Loretta rushed up to me, her brows drawn tight.“Where’s Mom?” I asked before she could say anything.“She’s in Dad's study,” she said quickly.I didn’t stop to respond. My steps were sharp against the marble floor as I headed straight for the study. My chest got tighter the closer I got. The door creaked a little as I pushed it open.She looked up the moment I entered. And just from the look on her face, I knew it wasn’t good. My stomach turned.She barely visited Dad's study ever since he passed. Neither did she try to touch any of his things. According to her, revisiting the memor

[Kaden]My chest tightened. Someone helped him get to my father? It was possible for my father to have passed from a heart attack following his condition but was it natural or was it triggered?"This doesn't make sense Kaden. Oh good lord, no don't tell me my husband was murdered," my mum palmed her face"Mom, don't do this, we are not sure yet, we only have to look into it," Loretta said and my mother stiffened before turning to face her"Look into it? Where are we supposed to do that from?" My mother snapped making Loretta flinch, taking a step back"The only one who can give us an answer to this is dead," my mum voiced out, her teeth clenched tightly. I swallowed hard leaning back in my seatDr Arlan died a week after my father's death! Was this...?"Could it be that this also has something to do with Doctor Arlan's death?" I voiced out, my mother and sister's eyes snapping towards me"Exactly, him dying a week after your father's death? And now theirs a report that looks like your

[Matilda]"What the hell are you doing?" I snapped, staring into his eyes as he straightened up"What do you mean?" Kaden asked, a smirk curling up his lips. "Aren't we supposed to talk, or are you planning on not letting me get the three days a week too?"I rolled my eyes, walking over to the plate rack as I carefully placed the plate I could have ended up breaking it if I wasn't careful"Don't think everyone is as selfish as you, young man," I snapped, turning my attention to him as I leaned against the kitchen cabinet. "You were with the kids, and they weren't letting go so isn't it normal for me to stay still until we are alone? Or do you want me to discuss in front of the kids?" My eyes were shifting from him to the doorway to make sure the kids weren't coming"We can talk now, they are busy with their games," Kaden said. I averted my eyes from him and walked over to the living room and truly they were busy with whatever game they were playing on their iPadI took a deep breath a

[Matilda]"Daddy, Austin, daddy is here!" Aiden sprang up from the couch rushing to the door where Kaden was standing with smiles all over his face. He dropped the bag in his hand and crouched down in time, grabbing him in his arms"Daddy!!" Austin ran down the stairs where he had gone to pick up his iPad. I watched as his eyes lit up as he ran towards Kaden, practically flying into his armsA smile spread across my lips as I watched him grabbing and spinning them around"My big boys," He cooed, placing a kiss on their hair. "How are you? Who missed Daddy?" Kaden asked placing them down I've known him so well to tell that there wasn't his hint of fear when the kids came running to him like he was a bit surprised that they did so and even when I didn't know the reason I could tell it was how the kids witnessed him lose in the courtroom"Daddy I missed you," Aiden smiled, pulling Kaden's hand and trying to swing with it"Me too Daddy, Mommy said you were busy that's why you've not come

[Matilda]"Mommy, so we're going to start school soon?" Aiden asked excitedly as we walked back into the house with our shopping bags"Yes baby, are you excited about it?" I asked and he nodded, his tongue swirling around the lollipop in his hand"Yes Mommy, I've missed all my friends," Aiden said. My eyes shifted to Austin and I didn't fail to notice how his lips pouted into a small frown. I could tell he was so much enjoying their homeschoolingAt least, I could tell that everything was a bit over now even when I knew I should also be on the lookout. I knew how ruthless Donovan could be. But my children's life shouldn't be on pause"Mommy but I like my home teacher, why can't we school at home like we always do?" Austin asked as we walked into the kitchen. I placed the shopping bag on top of the counter before grabbing the little ones Austin and Aiden were holding"I know you like your home teacher my love, but it's time you resume school okay? Tell me don't you miss all your friend

[Kaden]I rolled my neck, the stiffness in it mirroring the tension in my chest as I stared at the files spread across my study table. After yesterday’s conversation with Mason and Ryan, we agreed to look deeper into the hospital records—and get a clearer picture of what we’re dealing with. That’s why I’d scheduled a meeting with someone I knew at the hospital. Three days from now.I glanced at the time on my wristwatch just as a knock echoed on the door.“Come in,” I called out, barely lifting my eyes from the files on my table “Sir, breakfast is ready,” I stared up at Zia, my head maid as she stood right in front of my doorI waved her off. “I’m not eating this morning.”She didn’t budge. Just stood there staring at me like I’d said something impossible.I looked up, arching a brow. “Zia, is there something else?”She hesitated, then stepped back with a slight shake of her head. “No, sir.”“Then you can go,” I said firmly.As she left, I sighed, dragging my hand down my face.
