“Sunny!”

Zayne immediately dropped into a crouch, tossing his bag aside without care. He reached for Sunny, his eyes scanning the bruises blooming along her arms and cheek, already turning blue. Gianna had been right—they hadn’t held back at all.

“I’m fine, Zayne,” Sunny said softly, offering a faint smile despite her swollen face. Her slender fingers gently brushed over the bruise, as if the touch alone could ease the pain. For a moment, she turned her head, and Zayne followed her gaze.

    “You’re not joking, right, baby?” Zayne asked. His chest ached from the overwhelming happiness he was trying so hard to hold back. Standing by the bathroom door, Elmy looked at him with red, watery eyes, like she still couldn’t believe what she was seeing either.When he picked up the three pregnancy tests, Zayne could clearly see the two blue lines filling the small result window. Unable to hold himself back anymore, he rushed toward Elmy and lifted her into his arms, hugging her tightly while covering her cheeks with kisses.“You’re really pregnant?”“Yes, Zayne.”Zayne spun her around in his arms. Elmy’s laughter echoed through their new bedroom. He stopped by the bed and pulled her down with him onto the mattress. They stared at each other before laughing again, both with teary eyes.“This feels like a dream.”Elmy reached up and pinched his cheek hard. Zayne winced before laughing again. “Turns out it’s real.”“I’m going to the hospital tomorrow to get checked,” Elmy said.The mo

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   202. A New Beginning

    Zayne’s parents’ old house was far quieter than their previous home. There were no sirens, no shattered glass, no blood staining the marble floor.And yet, strangely enough, Elmy still couldn’t feel at peace.Up ahead, Zayne was talking to Jane.“I’m sorry, Jane. Theo should never have gone through something like this,” Zayne said as Jane came to pick Theo up.The woman looked upset the moment she saw her son’s condition. Theo had a high fever. His cheeks were flushed red as he curled quietly in Jane’s arms.Honestly, Elmy felt guilty for putting Theo in danger yesterday. She should’ve refused from the start when they asked her to watch him. But who could’ve predicted Michella would show up at their house with two criminals?Who could ever predict when disaster would strike?Elmy let out a long sigh before walking over. She lowered her head, nervously wringing her fingers together. When she finally looked up, her eyes met Theo’s sad gaze. His eyes were glossy with tears.“I want to ap

    Blood dripped onto the floor. The once spotless marble slowly turned red. Elmy stared at Michella’s bleeding wrist. The sleeve of her pale yellow blouse had darkened into a vivid crimson.The knife slipped from Michella’s hand. She collapsed to the floor, clutching her injured arm. Behind her, Anderson raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at the two men holding Lyra and Gianna.“Let them go, or I’ll shoot you like I shot that woman,” Anderson threatened.Elmy pulled Theo into her arms as his body trembled. She gently rubbed his back while whispering soothingly to him. “It’s okay. We’re safe, Theo. We’re safe,” she murmured softly against the top of his head.For a moment, Elmy glanced at Theo’s pale face. He wasn’t crying anymore, but his body was stiff and shaking. Honestly, she was more terrified of Theo getting hurt than herself. Holding him tighter, she slowly backed away.Taking advantage of the distraction, she tried to make her way to the kitchen to grab her phone. At the

    “Now, don’t be naughty while you’re staying at Uncle Zayne’s house. If Uncle Zayne calls me because of something you did, I’ll make sure you don’t get a birthday present this year,” Dennis threatened while crouching down to meet Theo’s eyes. The little boy nodded innocently as if he actually understood every word.Theo was probably around two or three years old now. The last time Elmy saw him was when Zayne was sick, and he’d clearly grown since then. His cheeks were rounder, and his body looked chubbier too. Jane had taken good care of him.“Unca…” Theo called in his cute little voice. Whoever taught him that word, he seemed to love saying it. Probably Jane.“Yeah, starting today, you’re staying with us for a while, okay Theo?” Zayne crouched in front of him, looking genuinely happy. And deep down, Elmy felt a sting in her chest seeing that, because she still hadn’t been able to give Zayne a child.“Kay, Unca,” Theo replied before raising his arms, asking to be carried. Zayne happily

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   199. The Family We Dreamed Of

    Zayne stared at the files in front of him without really reading them. His mind had drifted back to the large house his parents left behind.“You’re thinking about moving into your late parents’ house?” Gion asked while placing another file onto the desk. He skillfully gathered several folders into his arms. Zayne watched him quietly with his arms folded across his chest.“Yeah, that’s the plan. The house we’re living in now... I might rent it out or sell it later,” Zayne said casually.“Why the sudden move?”“That house would be perfect for my big family someday,” Zayne replied. The image of little kids running around and playing there made him smile faintly. He couldn’t wait for that day to come.Gion smiled knowingly. “Is Elmy pregnant? Is that why you’re acting like this?”The question immediately snapped Zayne back to reality. He lowered his gaze to his intertwined fingers. Without saying anything, he shook his head slightly. That alone was enough of an answer.Gion instantly loo

    “Where are you going today?” Zayne asked as he suddenly wrapped his arms around Elmy from behind. He pressed soft kisses along the curve of her neck. Goosebumps rose on Elmy’s skin along with the warmth spreading between her thighs.Zayne’s body heat burned against her, making Elmy catch her breath when she realized his arousal was pressing against her hip. But neither of them made the first move. Instead, Elmy ignored it on purpose and dragged the moment out.“Nowhere. I think I just want to lie around today.” Elmy leaned her head against Zayne’s chest. “I’ve been dealing with a lot these past few days.”“What’s it like handling projects and all that stuff? You’re even involved with your mother’s restaurant now, right?”Elmy turned around and wrapped both arms around Zayne’s neck, catching him off guard. A wide smile immediately spread across his lips, as if he was satisfied with how close they had become now.“It’s exhausting. I can’t even imagine how tired you must get running arou

    Even though Sunny wasn’t with them, that didn’t mean the tension between them had disappeared. If anything, after the argument in the guest room earlier, the wall between them had only grown higher. Elmy knew she had made Zayne angry today with her cold attitude.Was she not allowed to fight back w

    “Instead of putting on this cheap drama, you should just be honest with your wife…” “…if you still want her.”Zayne let out a tired sigh and drained the rest of his wine. Ford’s words kept echoing in his head. Honest? He couldn’t even admit his own feelings without feeling like a coward. For a who

    The weather outside couldn’t have been more different from what Ford was feeling. Heat. Intense, addictive heat.But when he noticed Sunny wasn’t closing her eyes—like her mind was somewhere else—he cupped her face gently.“Focus, Sunny.”Maybe she was worried he’d get fired from the hospital. Or m

    “I didn’t ask you to say that,” Zayne said coldly.Sunny sat on the couch, fiddling with the hem of her dress. She didn’t even think about responding. A minute ago she’d been bold enough to say something she shouldn’t have—but now that courage had vanished.Zayne’s sharp gaze cut across the room li
