Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 14 - New York City
[Matilda]Four days later"Oh my God, Mum, this place is stunning!" Austin held my hand, trying to get me to look at whatever he was pointing at. I smiled at him and nodded as I pushed our luggage forward.My mind was a total mess from the moment we boarded the plane until we landed. I was back in the city I left six years ago! I kept convincing myself that NYC was a big city and that there was a possibility I would never see him again."Uncle Leo!" My gaze shifted as I heard the boys scream, I looked to the far end and saw a beaming Leo approaching us with a bouquet in his hands. The kids sprinted off, running towards him, and I watched him crouch down to their level, opening his arms and wrapping them around him.My lips curled into a smile as I got closer until I was standing right beside them."My big boys!" Leo smiled, ruffling their hair as he straightened up. Aiden and Austin's attention quickly turned sideways, as Aiden continued to show Austin whatever he saw that looked b

[Matilda]We have been in NYC for one week and a few days. So far, everything has been going well. I had taken Aiden to claim his scholarship and also registered Austin at the same Academy.If I had tried to separate them, he would have cried his eyes out. Their bond was unshakable, and I hope it will remain that way.Leo had also helped me secure a perfect space for my bakery— exactly what I wanted. And soon, work would begin over there. Everything was falling into place, except for one thing that was clawing at the back of my mind."So you're telling me that he has not asked you out again?"I looked up from the dough, sighing, as Julia smirked at me across the counter.Since Julia visited the day after we arrived in NYC, she had practically moved in, going to work from my place and claiming she had missed me too much. Well, I could use the company, and my kids love her as well"Julia, can we focus on this cookie, so we can go watch the movie with the kids?" I growled, slipping on m

[Matilda] My fingers were tracing the smooth fabric of my dress as I stared out of the window. My heart was pounding hard in my chest as I bit down on my lower lip.I knew it was inevitable. Not seeing him at such an event with the kind of power and connections the Donovans had. It was nearly impossible I just wished today wouldn't come by but here we are on our way to the event Leo asked me to go with him"Tesoro, are you okay?" I bit my lip as Leo's deep voice echoed in my ear. I slowly shifted my gaze to the driver's seat"I'm fine!" I mumbled softly, but the look in his eyes told me he wasn't buying it."But you've been quiet since we left your house, if something is wrong, please let me know!" Leo asked softlyBut how could I explain to him why I was feeling this way? How could I tell him that it was because there was a possibility of meeting my ex-husband at this said event?"Tilda!" Leo called again, drawing me out of my thoughts."It's nothing, Leo, I'm fine!""Are you worri

[Kaden]My finger rested on the rim of my wine glass as I took a small sip of champagne, my eyes sweeping over the ballroom."Baby, I'll be right back, let me see a friend over there," Cherry said, leaning in to kiss my lips. I gave her a firm nod. My gaze followed her until she was almost out of sight. I took a deep breath and turned away. It's been six years of marriage to the woman I love, the woman who makes me happy.I married Cherry the same month I divorced Tilda, and that month was the hardest of my life. Cherry miscarried just a few weeks after our wedding, and we have been trying to conceive for six years. I have always made her understand several times that our baby will come at the right time, but I couldn't help but feel pain whenever I saw her shedding tears over and over for losing our childMy jaw clenched hard as I recalled the name that just crossed my mindTildaFor six years, I never heard from her or even got a glimpse of her in this city! Not that I cared, but

[Matilda]I felt a shiver run down my spine as those silver orbs locked into mine. God!! How? The next minute, I was on my feet, approaching a waiter who was making his way toward me."Please, how can I find the restroom?" I asked, and he pointed to the far-end corner. I gave him a firm nod. My heart was pounding hard in my chest as I weaved through the crowd. I took a deep breath as I walked into the hallway. I had no idea why I was fucking running away. My breath hitched as I increased my pace, only for my feet to freeze in place as I heard that voice. "Matilda!" Kaden's deep voice rang out, sending instant chills down my spine. I bit down on my lower lip hard enough to draw blood.Was he following me?I heard a chuckle behind me, his footsteps echoing behind."Why the hell are you panicking, Tilda? Calm down!" I inhaled deeply, slowly turning to face the man I hadn't seen for six years.Kaden was standing right in front of me, his two hands in his pocket. I watched as his eyes w

[Matilda]Leo and I walked out of the hallway, my heart thumping hard in my chest, as Leo's hand tightened on mine, he led me out of the ballroom. As we made our way out, my eyes snapped up to him, and I didn't miss how his eyes darkened, his jaw set in a way that sent chills down my spine.Leo walked up to the car and pulled the passenger door open for me, I stepped in and he banged it shut - too hard that I almost flinched. I watched as he circled the driver's side and stepped inside.I fastened my seatbelt, my gaze still fixed on Leo as he fastened his, he started the engine, and sped offMy eyes shifted to him, his eyes were intently fixed on the road, he hadn't said a word for over five minutes now. His hands kept tightening on the steering wheel, making my heart beat faster with each second that passedDid he hear what Kaden and I said? Did he overhear our conversation? Did he hear when I mentioned ex-wife? My mind was a complete mess as I stared at Leo, his jaw clenched hard a

[Kaden]"Tesoro?" My jaw clenched hard as the name that bastard called her rang in my ear. I walked to the other end of the hallway making my way into the restroom. My jaw clenched hard as I tried to recall where I had seen that dude. I fucking know I've met him somewhere but I just can't place my finger on itMy eyes darted to my watch and I checked the time, it was 9.30 pm. I pulled out my phone and placed a call to someone"Boss!" Spider's voice boomed out from the other end"Where are you?" I hissed as I stepped into the restroom banging the door shut"I'm around, Boss!""Good, I need you to pull the surveillance footage from the first hallway leading to the restroom, from 9 pm to 9:30, send it to me immidiately,""On it Boss!" Spider stated firmly. I hung up and shoved my phone back into my pocketI could swear that I'd seen his face somewhere, he looked oddly familiar! I stared at my reflection one more time before making my way out and heading back to the ballroomMy head sna

[Matilda]"Just fucking tell me you're kidding!" Julia snapped as I told her everything that happened a few days back at the eventIt's been five days since the event but it still feels surreal seeing that asshole who I still can't keep out of my headI shook my head as we walked over to one of the seats in my bakery space. We have been trying to put everything together for hours now, and looking at how far we've gone, we needed a rest and a cup of coffee."I wasn't joking!" I walked over to the coffee machine and quickly made two cups of coffee before walking over to Julia's seat and handing her a cup of coffee. She took a quick sip of her coffee before dropping it."He must be insane to lay his filthy hands on you and say those stupid words, what was he thinking, that you're the same Tilda he used to humiliate back then?""I just hope we don't cross paths again, he's just an asshole as he has always been," my teeth gritted as every name Kaden called me last night rang in my earJu

[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
Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 117 - We need to talk
[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
Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 116 - You can't say for sure
[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. My th

[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

[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
Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 113 - What's the problem?
[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

[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

[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
