[Matilda]

Six years later

The air in the hall was thick with anticipation as I clung to Leo's huge hand for comfort. My gaze never left Aiden, standing on stage with nine other kids.

My gaze shifted to Austin, who was cradled on Leo's lap, his eyes fixed on the stage, a smile was playing on his face as he stared at his twin brother on stage

"Are you okay?" I bit down on my lower lip as I stared at the man sitting on my right side, clutching Austin tightly as he squeezed my hand. I gave Leo a faint smile and nodded, attempting to brush off the anxiety that was consuming me.

My eyes shifted back to the stage, my eyes swelled with pride as I traced Aiden's figure in line with nine other kids, all waiting in anticipation on the stage for the results of their hard work

This competition was more than just a Maths competition. It was an opportunity for young talents to explore, gain exposure, and show the world what they are capable of.

I glanced around the hall, the faces of other parents a

Matilda had twins. Kaden doesn’t deserve her. Hopefully she found a new partner

  • Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 250 - Did you hear me?

    [Matilda]My eyes peeled open and my breath hitched.My heart slammed into my ribs as I blinked again, just to be sure I wasn’t imagining it.What I walked into... was not the restaurant I expected.A place I presumed to look like one filled with chairs and tables was completely transformed. It was no longer a room for dining, but something out of a dream. The light had shifted into something soft and golden, not too bright, not too dim, just enough to catch the glimmer of glass, the gleam of gold, the warmth in every corner.There was no single table in sight, except for one far in the back, draped in deep red velvet. The room was utterly silent, and yet somehow, it felt louder than anything I’d ever walked into.Every detail demanded my breath.Dozens of floating candles hung from the high ceiling, suspended by nearly invisible wires, flickering gently as if they’d been frozen midair by magic. Down the center of the space was a long, winding trail of rose petals — not scattered care

  • Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 249 - I'm right here with you

    [Matilda]I stared at myself for the umpteenth time in the mirror. I was fully dressed and heavens, I couldn't stop admiring how this cloth clung to me like a second skin.My lips stretched into a smile as I took another selfie, sending it straight to Julia just as she requested. And just in seconds, her reply came.Julia: Goodness. Tilda, you look stunning. Oh my God. Damn, I'm sure Leo would not even recognize you.I read her reply, another smile making its way to my lips.I stared at my watch over and over. Leo said he would be here soon and it's been over an hour since he said that. What exactly was holding him?I bit down on my lips taking a step back from the mirror as I spun around.My lips stretched into another smile but I paused for a second as Kaden's face flashed back to my mind. The way he stared at me before leaving. Like he wanted to ask where I was going again but ended up holding back.I quickly pushed the thoughts to the side. I shouldn't be thinking about him right

  • Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 248 - The fucking audacity!

    [Kaden]"Repeat what you just said now." I stood still, staring at Enzo. He glared back at me, spitting out blood.My jaw clenched, my hand fisting beside me as I stared into his eyes."Leo Smith. That's the dude who gave me the job. He said I should make sure none of the kids survived but unfortunately, you showed up and I had to run off," Enzo said again making my eyes widen.I shook my head, taking a step back as I tried to make sense of it all. Is this guy joking with me? Leo? Wants my kids dead?I swallowed hard, trying to calm the way my heart was racing. I tilted my neck to the side, staring at Spider who had the same confused expression on his face.We exchanged glances and a bitter chuckle made it past my lips. "Spider, did I hear this guy wrong?"Spider shook his head, his eyes brimming red. "He said it loud and clear boss!" Spider confirmed.I turned back to Enzo. I opened my mouth to speak, then shut it again. My head was spinning, my mind a complete mess."Leo sent you to

  • Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 247 - Repeat what you just said

    [Kaden]"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Enzo asked, his eyes brimming red. I stared from him to the poor phone that he was shrinking hard.I tilted my neck to the side, my lips stretching into a big smile as I stared back at him."I don't think that there's a need for me to explain to you or do I?""I said what the fuck do you think you're fucking doing?" He groaned, veins bulging out of his forehead. His hands clenched. "Fuck!" He cursed, his lips sinking deep into his teeth.I stood and walked over to him, reaching for the phone.But the bastard’s hands shot up, fast — straight for my neck.I turned just in time, and he grabbed my shirt instead."Don’t you fucking dare…" Before he could finish his statement, a loud smack landed on his face. He groaned, his hand slipping off my shirt"Are you insane?" Spider snapped, delivering another punch straight to his nose.The idiot groaned loudly, cursing under his breath. I only chuckled. I grabbed the phone from his lap, giving S

  • Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 246 - I don't know shit!

    [Kaden]"Make sure to be good boys okay? And don't give Grandma a tough time," I said to the kids. My Mom scoffed from where she was seated with Aiden on her lap while Austin was curled up in Loretta's lap."They can give me a tough time as much as they want. Let my grandkids be!" My mother snapped and I took a step back raising my hand in surrender."So what will Daddy get while coming back?" I asked. They were barely paying attention to me as they kept showing their grandmother something on their tablet."Wow? So no one is going to talk to Daddy again?" That seemed to get just Austin's attention while Aiden was still scrolling through something on his tablet."Daddy, what did you say?" Austin asked, his nose scrunching up like I was disturbing their beautiful moment."What will I get for you two while coming back. Do you want anything?""You can get anything you want Daddy!" Austin said, turning back to his grandmother. "Grandma, look at this, can you play it too?" He giggled, showi

  • Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 245 - In an hour!

    [Kaden]No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't take my mind off Matilda's words last night. The way her voice sounded when she told me that the place she was going to was none of my business.Of course, I know that it has absolutely nothing to do with me but she's the mother of my children and a woman I care so much about, so I just wanted to know.My hand tightened on the steering wheel as I drove straight to her house. A dull ache spread through my chest as I tried to push the thoughts aside. I don't know how it would happen but I would make Matilda mine. That bastard can't have her, not when I feel this way. Not when my feelings for her keep increasing each passing day.Just as her gate came into view, I controlled it from my phone and it slid open. I drove right in and closed it up.I drove straight into the garage. My chest tightened slightly as I pulled the car to a stop. I knew what I was going to do in there sounded stupid but I needed to know where exactly she was going.I st
