[Matilda]

The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, and I stepped out, trying to steady the erratic pounding of my heart. Leo walked beside me, offering no words just the usual calm demeanor of his

The hallway to the lawyer's office who Leo said his name was Sage, was quiet. Only the soft tap of our footsteps echoed off the walls. I took a deep breath as we stopped at a sleek, modern receptionist desk. The young woman behind it greeted us with a polite smile

"Is Sage in?" Leo's voice boomed out behind me. The lady stared at him and I didn't miss the way her face flushed before she cleared her throats

"Do you have an appointment with him?"

"Yes, Leo Smith," Leo said calmly, his eyes shifting towards me as he flashed me a smile before returning his eyes to the lady who suddenly had her fingers dancing across her keyboard

"Mr Lawson has been expecting you, this way please," the lady walked out, taking us straight to the office without delay. I blew out a deep breath already feeling

    [Matilda]Just why the hell would Kaden walk in here, right now? And how did Leo come to visit this early? He always calls me before visitingI was a bit relieved that he was here, I hadn't been able to talk to him and I knew he was intentionally avoiding me but seeing the look on his face as his eyes fell on Kaden, my heart clenched painfullyAnd knowing what might end up escalating with the kids around, I did the first thing that came to my mind. My heart pounded louder in my chest as I took a step closer, grabbing Leo's hands and storming out of the doorI banged the door shut before turning to face him. His jaw clenched, his brow creased tightly into a frown as he stared right into my eyes"Leo...Leo," I mumbled, and he nodded as if telling me to go ahead"What is going on and what is your ex-husband doing in your house this early morning, looking like that?" Leo's voice was calm but I could tell he was trying to hold back from snapping"He slept over, he...""The fuck? Why? You l

    [Leo] I couldn't take my mind off her. It's been three days and she hasn't given me a call yet. It was unlike my Tesoro. I couldn't stop cursing myself out loud for crossing the damn line That was a woman I was head over heels for. Did I push her too much? Did my words make her feel bad? Was she trying to cut ties with me now? I knew she was still hurt from everything she went through from that monster Monster My jaw clenched, my hand curled into a tight fist as memories clawed back into my head. Kaden Donovan. I had looked at him right into his eyeballs so many fucking times to make sure he wasn't pretending while looking at me Did he not recognize me? Did he fucking not know who I was or how we'd crossed paths? Yes, I know that over the years I became much more masculine. I have always been a chubby person but that fucking shouldn't make him not recognize me Kaden Donovan did me dirty. Fucking made me... goodness! He will pay for everything, I don't know how but hell I will mak

    [Kaden]What exactly was wrong with me? I had no freaking idea but the next minute my leg was moving on its own. I had no idea what exactly came over me or what the hell was still over meWhy the hell did I fucking kiss her? That was Tilda, a woman I hated everything about. She disgusts me. She laid with my fucking father. I hated every damn thing about her. But goddammitMy jaw clenched as my eyes shifted to my pants. I almost cursed myself on how my cock was throbbing I was just going to ask her if I'm allowed to use any of the rooms downstairs but that was a pathetic fucking excuse because I could fucking swear I knew it was supposed to be the guest bedroom but I needed to ask her, I should, it's not my house and I shouldn't trespassThat was the only thing I was able to come up with as I stormed the stairs. My finger made its way to my lips as I rubbed my index finger on my lips.She tasted so fucking...Kaden! The fuck?My jaw clenched as I marched over to her bedroom and withou

  • Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back    Chapter 121 - Yes please, right there!

    [Matilda]My heart thumped louder in my chest and I could swear that Kaden could hear it as his eyes raked all over my body stopping right on my lipsJust who the hell walks around people's homes without putting on a damn cloth and was my eyes fucking working with my mind? Hell noMy heart skipped as his eyes stayed glued to my lips. I could see his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. I should fucking push him off and walk out but why were my legs rotted in a spot staring right at his lips wanting it to do nothing but fucking come a bit closer and smash directly on mine"Kaden...," I stuttered watching as his eyes flicked up to mine. "Can you take a step back," I mumbled softly watching as a smirk curled up his lips"And if I don't?" Kaden asked, his eyes darkening even more. "Because your eyes are saying otherwise Tilda," His voice went low making the hairs on my body stand. A way Kaden had never spoken to me before"I don't know what...," My words were swallowed up as Kaden smashed hi

    [Kaden] "Daddy, Mommy, please," one of the twins cried out, as he stared from me to his mother Was I insane to say my heart was thumping so fast with the idea of spending the night right here? Like what exactly was wrong with me? It should be because of my kids right, seeing my boys cry was breaking my heart and that was why I said the first thing that came to my mind without thinking about it "It's okay, Daddy is going to spend the night," "No!! You would never," Tilda blurted out, her eyes boring into mine. I tilted my neck, my brow creasing into a frown as I stared from her to the kids. Was she blind or something, seeing that the kids were bawling "Mommy, you don't want Daddy to spend the night," Aiden or Austin said and I watched as Tilda's eyes snapped shut, cursing under her breath She flashed them a smile, that didn't quite reach her eyes."No baby of course, I want Daddy to...," She paused, glaring daggers at me before turning to the kids. "To spend the night but Daddy is

    [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.
