BRANDON

~•~

I rang the doorbell, and when I wasn’t answered fast enough, I knocked on the door impatiently.

The door was pulled open soon after that and Bailey had a shocked expression on her face. “Brandon?” She faked being surprised. “Why are you here? Charlotte is at her grandma’s for the weekend.”

“You know damn well why I’m here.” I gritted my teeth as I pushed through the door. I didn’t want to be in the same space as her, but I also didn’t want to attract attention by arguing with her outside. “What is your problem?” I asked when I reached the living room and realized she was following me.

“What do you mean, Brandon? Did I do something wrong?”

I held back a sigh. This woman was manipulative as fuck. She knew exactly what she did, yet she was waiting for me to spell it out. “Find a way to retract the news you deliberately put out there. I don’t want to have to do this by myself.”

“What news are you talking about?”

She was acting dumb and it was pissing me off. Early this mornin

  • My billionaire ex-husband wants me back   55. Sister

    GIANNA~•~“You’re such a baby,” Isabella said to her brother as we walked out of the hospital. She was holding on to my hand while Oliver held on to his father’s. “I’m not a baby!”“Then why were you when you saw the injection?”He actually started crying when he saw the nurse, but I didn’t point that out because it would only make them fight. “I didn’t cry!” Oliver denied vehemently even if we all saw him crying.Brandon laughed. After spending a few weeks with the kids, he was used to Isabella teasing Oliver all the time and knew better than to interfere. Brandon and I had brought the kids in for school vaccines, but while Isabella mocked Oliver for tearing up, she was also scared when she saw the injection. However, she was much braver and closed her eyes tightly during the vaccine. She even held Oliver’s hand when it was his turn. She saved mocking him for later, which happened to be now.We reached the car before they could start fighting and we each helped a child into the ba

  • My billionaire ex-husband wants me back   54. Grateful

    GIANNA~•~Oliver couldn’t sit still. Since he finished getting dressed, he was standing at the window, waiting for Brandon to arrive. He was so excited about seeing his father that he didn’t even bother to question where he had been all these years. Then again, I was grateful he wasn’t asking me any difficult questions.“It seems Olly can’t wait to see his father,” Stella said with a chuckle.“Neither can you.”She smiled sheepishly. “Well, I want to see the man who left you while you were pregnant.”“Fair enough.”“He’s here! Mommy, he’s here!” Oliver yelled just as we heard the engine of a car settling down. Knowing we weren’t expecting any other visitors and it was definitely Brandon, I went to open the door. He was already about to knock, and he dropped his hand when he saw me. “You’re early.” My tone was dry.“I figured punctuality would earn me a few points.” He raised his other hand, holding a bouquet. “These are for you.”I eyed them warily before staring at him. When he di

  • My billionaire ex-husband wants me back   53. Dragged out

    BRANDON~•~There was no knock on my door, so when my door was suddenly pushed open, I was a bit taken aback, wondering who was barging into my office without permission.When I saw it was Bailey, I sighed. Of course, it was her. She was the only unmannered person in my life.After the conference I conducted, our goods were starting to get better reviews. The public’s opinion had changed and they were starting to slander Bailey instead. I would have felt bad for her if she weren’t such a manipulator. I didn’t know if I was blind to it while we were growing up, or she just changed when we became older, but she was someone I didn’t want to associate with anymore.“So that’s it?” She sneered, looking furious already. “A press conference and a polite middle finger?”“I couldn’t stop her!” Zan came rushing in after her. “You shouldn’t be here, Bailey.” My words came out with a sigh. “It’s fine, Zan. You can leave, but inform the security to never let her in again.” I instructed him and he

  • My billionaire ex-husband wants me back   52. Consequence

    GIANNA~•~I’d thought a lot about letting Brandon into the kids' lives and I had finally come to a decision. However, I needed to inform them first to see what they had to say about it.I didn’t want to spring it on them out of the blue, but there was no other way. While I thought about how to break the news to them, I took them to an ice cream shop. Ice cream always made them happy. They were only five, but I needed to set their mood right first.“Why aren’t you eating your ice cream, mommy?” Oliver asked, bringing me out of my thoughts.“You’ve been staring at us for a while now,” Isabella added. “Did we do something wrong?”I blinked in surprise at her question. “What? No, of course not.” I laughed. “I wouldn’t buy you ice cream if you did something wrong.”“Well, you’re scaring us.” Bella shrugged.I chuckled to myself and sat up straight. They were almost done with their ice cream while mine was still full. I took a spoonful and tried to be casual as I spoke. “You’ll be resuming

  • My billionaire ex-husband wants me back   51. Press conference

    GIANNA~•~Brandon was conducting a press conference.I wouldn’t have known this information if Emily hadn’t told me about it. After she called me to talk about the flowers, we met up and reconciled.According to her, I was still on probation, but I was fine as long as she was talking to me again. I had my best friends back and I was happy about it. While Tyler didn’t want me anywhere near Brandon, Emily was quite the opposite. She told me that I should give him a chance if I wanted. She told me to follow my heart and not go against my wishes. According to her, Brandon was trying his best, and if I thought there was a significant change, I could go for it.Tyler could only glare at her while she gave me that advice.Back to the press conference, I had told myself a million times that Brandon wasn’t part of my life, so whatever he did wasn’t my business. However, I couldn’t stop myself from tuning into the live press conference.As soon as the time struck noon, Brandon came on stage. H

  • My billionaire ex-husband wants me back   50. Chances

    BRANDON~•~Bailey wasn’t just ruining whatever chances I had with Gianna. She was also affecting the company with her little antics.As soon as she posted that video, my father called me home. I didn’t like going home. My father was overbearing. My mother pressured me to remarry and my sister just annoyed the shit out of me all the time.I knocked on the door to my father’s office. Well, it used to be his office back when he was still active at work. Over time, he had turned it into a little library. He was the only one in the family anyway.“Come in.” I heard my father speak from the other end.I opened the door and stepped in to see him reading a book on his chair. He had his glasses on and didn’t bother to look up as I entered. I helped myself to a seat before I spoke. “Why did you want to see me?” I asked even if I knew the answer to that.“I’m not sure what is going on between you and Johnson’s daughter, but make it official as soon as possible and stop destroying what I struggl
