My billionaire ex-husband wants me back 43. Restroom
GIANNA~•~I froze for a long moment.I wasn’t certain if I was hallucinating or dreaming, but it was almost like Brandon’s lips were on mine.I didn’t know why my brain took a while to react, but when I finally came to my senses, I pushed him off of me. He backed away immediately, licking his lips.I wiped my lips on purpose as I glared at him. “What do you think you’re doing? Do you think we’re still married?”“If we were, that fucker outside wouldn’t be able to go close to you or my children.”I let out a laugh that lacked humor. Brandon was truly crazy. “Why are you so bothered by who I hang out with? Isn’t your little family enough to keep your attention?”“You always call them my little family. Are you jealous? Do you wish it were you instead of her?”My face twisted in disgust. Why would I ever want to be in Bailey’s position? I scoffed. “You’re delusional.” I tried to push past him, but he held my hand and pulled me back, placing both arms on the sink and effectively trapping
My billionaire ex-husband wants me back 42. Dinner
GIANNA~•~It was a Friday, and after a long week of work, I was happy to rewind and relax for the weekend. Well, that was after dinner with the kids and Jack. They liked Jack a lot, and when they heard that he was around, they insisted on meeting him, hence the dinner.It was already a stressful day at work, and I believed it wouldn’t get any worse. I was wrong. The minute we stepped inside the restaurant, I felt someone watching me.While Jack confirmed our reservation, I looked around the room, taken aback when I locked eyes with Brandon. However, he wasn’t alone. He had his daughter on his lap, and his daughter’s mother was sitting across from him. I felt a weird ache in my chest immediately.I had seen Brandon and his daughter together, and I had seen Bailey and her daughter together, but I’d never seen all three of them together. They looked like one entity, a family. For some reason, it hurt me. I had seen Bailey earlier today. What bad luck did I have in my life for me to run

BRANDON~•~I had a whole day to think about my actions before I started regretting them.Gianna was right. I had no right to fight with her for the kids. I should have just tried to talk to her calmly.Then again, that was meant to be my approach but seeing her feigning ignorance about the whole situation just pissed me off in a way I couldn’t explain. I blanked and started speaking without thinking, but I’m sure arguing with her just made things worse.I even went as far as threatening to sue her. Fuck.I could barely concentrate at work. I was carrying a secret nobody knew. I didn’t know who else Gianna had told, but I was certain her mother didn’t know about this. For some reason, her mother still liked me and would say to me immediately if she found out.I couldn’t tell anyone about it, not even Ethan. After much pleading, Mabel agreed to the meeting, but she also didn’t know exactly why I went there. I wasn’t sure if she stayed back to hear our argument or not, but Gianna’s busi

GIANNA~•~I had suspected that Brandon was crazy before, but I was finally confirming it.I was already angry that he was threatening me with my kids and him saying he loved me was the final straw. “If you treat someone you love this way, I wonder how you’d treat your enemy.” I spat out. “Get out,” I added when he tried to speak.“Gianna…”“Get out!! I don’t want to see you. Don’t come close to me or my kids.”There was something insanely triggering about Brandon telling me he still loved me. Maybe it was because my stupid heart was still a bit hopeful when it came to him. Maybe it was because I hadn’t fully moved on; maybe I never even tried. I had been away from him for so many years that I thought I was immune to him. Seeing him again was shattering all the walls that I built and I didn’t want him to know that. I couldn’t let him find out just how much power he had over me so I had to resort to hating him. That was the only way I could shield myself.“Our kids.” He corrected me ag

BRANDON~•~For a split second, she was shocked, but she was quick to glare at me again. “And so what?” She snatched the paper from my hand and ripped it into pieces.I was shocked. She was no longer denying it. She was dismissing me. For some reason, she was also angry at me for finding out. “Tearing it into pieces isn’t going to change the fact that those kids carry my DNA, Gianna.” I was just as angry. When the report tests came out, I was stunned. While I had suspicions, I had refused to believe that Gianna kept me away from my children for five whole years. I was so tempted to call her but I knew she wouldn’t answer. I wanted to visit her, but I didn’t want to create a scene at her home, especially in front of the kids. Our kids.“And you finding out isn’t going to change anything!”I frowned. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”“If you’re a bit slow in the head, I’ll explain to you then.” She didn’t miss any opportunity to insult me. I understood that she was still mad at

GIANNA~•~For the first time since I arrived in Los Angeles, I was scared.My children had told me about their interaction with Brandon. They had met him at the park and he asked about their ages and birthdays. I knew that didn’t directly prove that the kids were his but that would surely make him suspicious. If he got suspicious, he was bound to look into it.If he found out he was the father, he would want to be part of their lives. I didn’t want that. The kids and I had been doing fine for five years. We didn’t need him.“What’s wrong?” Jack asked, placing a hand on mine. “Are you nervous because it’s our first meeting from our new branch?”His question snapped me back to reality. I had no time to think about Brandon and whatever troubles he could cause for me in the future. I had a meeting in less than ten minutes. Jack had come to Los Angeles to accompany me for our first meeting. I didn’t need him here but he insisted and I had no reason to refuse. “No, not at all. I’ve dealt w

BRANDON~•~“I’ve been sending her flowers every day for more than a week yet she still hasn’t reached out to me,” I complained to Ethan. It was his idea to send her flowers because according to him, every woman loved flowers.Ethan’s wife laughed at me. “Since when do flowers forgive cheating?”I gritted my teeth. “I’m not expecting her to forgive me instantly. I just expected her to reach out, even to tell me to stop sending the flowers.”“Maybe you should start by apologizing properly instead of trying to win her over with flowers. Flowers are for small mistakes, not for having a child with another woman.”I bit down on my bottom lip. Mabel was right. Those flowers were only going to piss her off even more and her pride would never let her reach out to me, even to tell me to stop. I needed a better plan. I needed to sit down and have a proper conversation with her.“Why don’t you help me?”“Me?” Mabel frowned. “How can I help you? I don’t know what she likes.”“She is branching out

GIANNA~•~I was lying to myself earlier.When I saw how my children acted around their grandmother, whom they had just met for the first time, I realized I wasn’t their second priority. I was their third.They had quickly put their grandmother above everyone else and wouldn’t leave her side. They weren’t even tired after the long flight. They just wanted to follow her around.“I’d always imagined having grandkids but never thought they would be this adorable.” My mother gushed, squeezing Bella’s cheeks. Bella, who was usually averse to affection, was grinning happily.“All my classmates have grandmas. I was wondering why we didn’t have one but I didn’t want to ask mommy.”My mother gave me a side eye and I looked away. Granted, it was quite cruel to keep them away from each other, but I knew my parents. No matter how much they liked and cared for me, they didn’t mind selling me out to the Bakers. If I had kept in touch with them properly, everyone would have known my business. I didn

GIANNA~•~“Do you know that Mom and Brandon’s father are actually hoping you guys get together again? His mother is against it because you have kids but her husband doesn’t care.”I scoffed. “She’s quite hypocritical, no? Her son is also a single father.”“Is that really what offends you?” Sheila laughed.I rolled my eyes. “Of course not, but I hate hypocrites the most.”“If you say so.” She shrugged. “They were quite excited when Brandon followed you upstairs last night. By the way, what did you guys do? He came back with a red face.”“I slapped him,” I answered her with a shrug. He deserved it anyway. He was pissing me too much and was running his mouth. He didn’t even deserve to speak to me. I didn’t know why he thought he had the right to question me.“You know what? Good job.”Sheila had work to do but she took the day off to help me look for a new office. We had seen a lot of places but it was just hard to find the one that met my standards. According to Sheila, I was picky as
