[Matilda]"I said you should get the fuck out of my car you liar" Leo growled out making me flinch. Tears gathered at the corners of my eyes and before I could say a word tears rolled down my cheeks. Leo's eyes immediately turned towards me, I watched as his eyes softened but were quickly masked up immediately"Matilda kindly step down," He grumbled yet again, I stiffened back my tears reaching out to his hands"I won't leave," My lips quivered as I took a slow deep breath. "Just hear me out please I didn't mean to lie to you, I wanted to tell you I fucking swear and that was the reason I've been trying to see you and I...,""If you could understand that none of these things you're saying are making its way to my ears then I would rather you save your time and step down," Leo snapped, flinging my hands off and the next minute he was pulling the car door open and stepping outI watched as he rounded the car. My heart skipped as Leo reached the passenger seat and pulled it open"I need

[Kaden]"Is that the Leo guy, that handsome tall dude?" Ryan asked as we walked out of the hall towards the lotI glared at him and I knew he caught it as a sign to shut up"If you have nothing to say just shut the fuck up," I gritted out, making my way to my carSo She also didn't tell her little lover about me? I raked my hand through my hair as I pulled my car open and slipped in taking a slow deep breathMonster? The dude's voice echoed all over my head. If I was doubting whether I had crossed paths with him, then his attitude tonight confirmed it allTilda didn't tell him about me! Which meant he had no reason to hate or call me such names. I saw the look in his eyes when he gritted out my name like I had hurt his ego or probably done some hurtful things to himWell, I've done some hurtful things to so many people but I was very sure I don't lay my hands on people who aren't traitors! But Leo, how the fuck can I still not picture where I've seen that dude?"Are you going to star

[Kaden]"When did you start smoking, Cherry, and who was that?" My voice was low as I asked. I wasn't shocked seeing Cherry smoking because lately, it has felt like I didn't know my wife anymoreShe opened her mouth to speak but shut it back"I don't know what you're talking about," She said, dropping the cigarettes on the floor using her leg to put off the cigarettesI just wasn't in the mood for this anymore, I was beginning to regret coming here to get her in the first place"We're going home, haven't you stayed enough?" I asked, my arms crossed over my chestHer eyes lingered on mine, biting down on her lower lip. "You...I...I mean, no I'm not coming home," Her voice was low, her eyes still not leaving mine, locking her gaze on mine"You are because I'm not leaving here without you," I brushed past her making my way into the room. My eyes moved over to the table, a glass with two bottles of wine and almost three packets of cigarettesI plopped down on the bed, dragging the bottle

[Matilda]I walked down the stairs, my heart skipping with each step I took down. It was barely 9 am but I was already dressed up to leave! Not to my store or any other place but to meet Leo! I couldn't get a wink of sleep last night. The anger In Leo's voice and face couldn't get out of my mind no matter how hard I tried"Mummy, are you going out?" My eyes shifted to my kids who were seated with their teacher in the living room. I walked towards them placing a soft kiss on their foreheads, before bidding them goodbye"I'm leaving," I said to their Nanny, and she gave me a firm nod. A look of worry flickering in her eyes, she made to speak but I flashed her a smile before turning and making my way outI glanced at my phone for the umpteenth time since last night to know if Leo had at least replied to my message but it was still exactly like that! And the worst part is that he read every message I sent and still didn't utter a word. I tried explaining to him that I didn't mean to lie t

[Matilda]"Please just hear me out Leo," I said softly. The men who had walked out with him made their way leaving and LeoI made to speak but he cut me off"Matilda, I don't want to hear anything from you, is that fucking too much for you to register into your head," Leo snapped. I bit down on my lip, staring at Leo like I was suddenly looking at a different person entirelyI locked my gaze on him, I opened my mouth to speak but shut it back. I wanted to speak with him, I wanted to make him understand, but standing right in front of him, with the way his eyes darkened, I suddenly felt speechless"Since you have nothing reasonable to say then I will take it that I should leave," He flashed me a smile that did nothing to hide the anger In his eyesI bit down on my lip, watching as he made to take a step out"If you leave right now, then I'll take it that you do hate me and love seeing me like this," My voice wavered as fresh tears poured down my eyesLeo stood frozen in the spot, his b

[Matilda]"What did he mean by seeing you in court, why is he taking you to court?" Leo asked and I took a deep breath trying to calm the way my heart thumped hard in my chest by recalling that statement from LeoI stared up at Leo biting down on my lower lip"He wants the full custody of the kids,""That fucking bastard," Leo growled out, his jaw clenching as he lowered his gazeHe stared up. "Was he aware that you were pregnant?" Leo asked and I shook my head, taking another sip from my wine"I didn't tell him about it,""Why?" Leo asked and I knew that there was no other way around this, I had to tell him everything, the one memory I hated to recall for the past six yearsI stared up at Leo and then lowered my gaze, swallowing the sudden lump that made its way to my throat"If you don't want to talk about it Tesoro, it's fine, you can...,""No I want to," I mumbled fidgeting with my hands. "Our marriage did not start on a good note, I would say he was forced to marry me by his fath

[Matilda]"You didn't ask what happened between me and Kaden's dad when I mentioned it, the reason Kaden grew to hate me," I said to Leo trying to pull my attention from the way his hand was squeezing my thighs"I didn't want to force words out of you tesoro, but I'm all ears, what happened?" Leo askedI swallowed the sudden lump that grew in my throat as I stared at Leo. His eyes held mine, his eyes offering the exact comfort I needed at this moment as my mind drifted back to the memory that brought and Kaden and me together I took a slow deep breath and locked my gaze with Leo's. "I met Kaden when I was working in a lounge as a waitress at the time. He would always come over and for some reason, I was always allowed to attend to him. I had thought it was a one-time crush when I started thinking about him more than I should," I bit down on my lower lip, lowering my head as I fidgeted with my hands.

[Matilda]"I know he likes me," I kept whispering to myself as I walked into the company heading straight to the receptionist My heart slammed against my chest loud and heavy with every step I took toward her. My fingers curled tighter around my purse as I walked closer to the woman seated behind the desk, eyes glued to her laptop"Hi," I greeted softly. Her eyes shifted from the laptop in front of her to mineHer eyes met mine and she stared at me from head to toe, pressing her lips into a thin line before parting slightly— almost like she was sizing me up"I'm sorry can you hear me?" I called out softly. She blinked and stared even harder, her lips curling into a seductive smile. Why the hell is she looking at me like that?"I'm here to...to see Mr Kaden Donovan," I mumbled softly but the lady in front of me wouldn't stop ogling"Okay!" She finally chirped, her gaze still not moving from my boobs. Seriously?"Please can I see him, I mean I'm here to see him,""Sure, why not, he's

[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
