[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 softly

But 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!"

  • Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 272 - His woman

    [Kaden]"I think we should look into this more," Mason said, showing me the files on his laptop.He’d called me earlier concerning a project I’d been helping him with. I was supposed to send him the analysis yesterday, but of course, I had forgotten. How could I not forget when I’d been in heaven all night—with my Matilda lying peacefully against my chest?I couldn’t count the hours I spent just staring at her while she slept, the countless times I kissed her forehead, letting my lips linger, letting the warmth of her skin burn into me. It took every ounce of willpower not to let my lips drift lower—to those gorgeous, soft lips of hers. The way she pouted them in her sleep… God."If you’re going to keep smiling like that, maybe we have to reschedule this," Mason snapped, dragging me back to reality. "I know you’re coming straight from Tilda’s house, but can you shut those teeth and tell me what the hell I should do on this?"I leaned back in the chair across from him, letting a lazy s

  • Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 271 - To be his woman

    [Matilda]I stirred softly, a yawn escaping my lips as I tried to stretch, only to pause when I felt a heavy weight wrapped around me. Warm. Solid. Familiar. I shifted slightly, but whatever it was held me in place. My lashes fluttered open, my lips pressing together as I blinked against the sunlight slipping through the curtains.I swallowed hard, my lips pressing together as the memories flooded back into my head. I had told him I didn't mind us cuddling and Kaden had done exactly that. Pulling me closer to his body and wrapping his arms around me.He kept asking if I was feeling better until I drifted off to sleep. My lips immediately stretched into a thin line as I blinked back. I could hear the rhythm of his heartbeat. Is he still asleep? Maybe I should just look at his face. I mean... He could still possibly be asleep.I bit down on my lips and slowly raised my head toward his face.Goodness! My heart skipped, and I swallowed so hard my throat burned, unable to tear my eyes away

  • Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 270 - I don't mind

    [Matilda]"Tell me, baby, were you jealous? Did you think I left here just to go see Scarlet?" The words pierced into my head and I swear I wanted the ground to open and swallow me whole.My heart skipped, and my lips pressed together as I stared back at Kaden. I could have fucking stayed on my own. He wasn't even with her. And here I was thinking he already had her in his bed. She only called for him to save up his number and I was almost going insane with so many thoughts building up in my head.I opened my mouth to say anything but I quickly shut it back because the fact is that of course, I was jealous. Stupidly jealous that I had to fake a sickness just to get him to come back here.A smile curled up on his lips and I already knew that he could see through me. He knew the answer, he could tell I was jealous and called him here on purpose.I was waiting for him to say it out. That I wasn't sick and that I purposely called him here. I was already bracing myself to hear that but ins

  • Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 269 - Tell me, baby

    [Kaden]I walked out of the pharmacy, taking long strides toward my car as Tilda’s voice echoed in my ear. The way she sounded… if she was feeling sick, then why the hell hadn’t she told me earlier? And she just let me leave?I slid into the driver’s seat, started the engine, and pulled out, the low rumble of the car filling the silence. I’d been having a drink with Ryan when her call came in.My hand tightened around the steering wheel as I took a slow, deep breath. I hope she’s okay.I decided not to press her any further and that was the reason I left. She was avoiding me. It was obvious. I didn’t want to make her any angrier, not when I was still holding onto the hope of having her back.As her house came into view, I hit the remote for the gate, the metal bars sliding open. I drove straight to the garage, killed the engine, and stepped out, my pace quickening toward the porch. If she’d told me to use my spare key, it had to be serious.The moment I pushed the door open, I noticed

  • Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 268 - What exactly is wrong with me?

    [Matilda]"Oh, Scarlet." The name rolled off his tongue like it meant something more than just a word. My heart clenched, my lips pursed, and I just couldn’t help it as my eyes stayed rooted on his face, drinking in every little detail.He shifted his eyes back to me and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "Alright, I’ll do just that," Kaden said on the phone and hung up. He smiled again and tucked the phone back into his pocket.I swallowed hard, my heart hammering in my chest like it wanted to break free. God, the words were almost on my lips — why did she call? What did she say? Why the hell was he smiling like that? But I held back, my eyes shifting to where he was still holding my hands tightly."Are you going to let go of my hands now?" My voice came out sharper than I intended. He stared at me, opened his mouth as if to say something but quickly shut it back.He loosened his hand on mine and cleared his throat. I walked past him immediately, heading toward the shopping bags. I

  • Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 267 - Is this because of?

    [Matilda]Why the hell am I angry? That is what I've been asking myself all through the day.We’d gone from the zoo to the amusement park, then grabbed something to eat at a restaurant, and Kaden still insisted we swing by the mall for a few things for my house.I just couldn't help the way my heart was squeezing so tightly. My hand hovered over my phone as I sat in the passenger seat. I was pressing absolutely nothing, but anything to keep Kaden from making conversation with me right now.The kids were chatting in the backseat, talking about one animal to the other.My lips pursed as I swiped through my screen, looking at nothing in particular."We should hang out before I leave the country!" The lady's voice echoed over my head again and I felt my heart squeeze even more.Hugging her wasn't enough for him and he had to give her his contact. I don't care that she lunged toward him. But he stayed still, he stood still until she was done hugging him, and pulled back. And what exactly
