Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire 197. Lost Control
“You’re not even going to give him a chance?” Zayne’s weak voice broke the silence. Elmy looked up toward the top of the stairs where the man stood. “You don’t look relieved at all after doing that,” he said. It sounded like a jab to Elmy, but she ignored it.Instead of answering, she quickly walked over to him. “Forget it. You need to rest. Didn’t the doctor say you shouldn’t push yourself?”“Commenting on your attitude right now isn’t exhausting at all.”“Zayne…”“I know you’re disappointed, but can’t you give your father a chance to make things right? Just like you gave me a chance with this relationship,” Zayne said.Elmy’s grip on his arm loosened. She hadn’t expected Zayne to defend Dante instead of her.Even so, Elmy stubbornly held onto her decision. She would let Dante leave again. No second chances. No fixing what had already been broken between them.“This is different, Zayne.”“What’s so different about it?” Zayne asked firmly. “Because he suddenly showed up after all thes

“So, are you happy now that your father’s in prison?” Vincent asked sharply.Hearing that, Elmy stayed silent. Her heart had already been shattered beyond repair. There was no room left to forgive what Vincent had done to her mother, to Zayne, and to herself.Instead of feeling guilty, Vincent blamed everything on Elmy, who sat across from him with a thick glass wall separating them.A criminal and an ordinary civilian.Elmy stared coldly at Vincent. “You haven’t even apologized for any of this. You hit my mother. You poisoned Zayne until…” The memory of Zayne’s confession from a few days ago resurfaced in her mind. Her throat tightened before she forced herself to continue. “You hurt the people I love.”“And you reported me. You broke your promise.”“Because you’re not my father. What’s the point of protecting you anymore?” Elmy replied, no longer caring about Vincent’s feelings. After all, he had never cared about hers.Vincent let out an amused laugh. He slammed his hand against th

“Zayne?”The voice made Zayne lift his gaze from the screen toward the bedroom door that had just opened. The corner of his lips curled up slightly.“You’re home?” he said as Elmy slipped off her bag and hurried toward him, where he sat on the sofa scrolling through his phone.Zayne wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her onto his lap. The exhaustion from work instantly faded away. Ignoring Hiro’s messages, he tossed the phone onto the sofa beside him.“Zayne, I haven’t showered yet,” Elmy said.But he ignored her. His arms tightened around her waist as he rested his chin on her shoulder.“Doesn’t matter,” Zayne whispered.He buried his nose in the crook of her neck, breathing her in. A floral scent mixed with fabric softener and the faint trace of sweat after a long day filled his senses. Strange, but that was exactly what he liked.Elmy’s scent.Familiar. Addicting.“My wife’s scent.”“Zayne, that tickles!”“Just for a minute. I need to recharge my energy.” Zayne kissed her n

“I’m not going to leave you.”But those words were exactly what made Elmy even more afraid.They kept echoing in her head even after Zayne was finally discharged from the hospital. He started going back to his usual routine, though he still had limitations. Gion decided to return home earlier because he was worried about Zayne’s condition.Elmy was still curious. What exactly was Zayne hiding from her? But there was no way for her to find out. The doctor handling his case insisted he was fine. Mr. Tiano, the man entrusted with writing the will, also said Zayne hadn’t explained anything.Everything felt too sudden.Even though Elmy tried to ignore it, she couldn’t completely forget about it. She let out a long sigh as she watched Zayne standing in front of the wardrobe, looking for a tie that matched his shirt.She stepped closer and picked a dark blue tie with thin white stripes. Zayne didn’t complain about her choice. Instead, h

“I don’t want to talk about that right now, Mom.” Elmy wasn’t trying to avoid the topic about her father. Her mind just desperately needed some peace right now.Just for a moment, give her time to calm down after everything that happened today.Elmy let out a long breath and brushed back her slightly damp, messy hair with her fingers, smoothing the strands before looking at Isabella, who stood there with a hopeful expression.“Just go, Mom.” She said it firmly, not caring if it hurt Isabella’s feelings. “I want to be alone right now.”“I know you’re disappointed, maybe even angry at me for hiding this from you. But can’t you at least hear me out for a minute?” Isabella pleaded softly.“No.” Elmy stayed firm with her decision. She walked to the door and opened it.“Your father is still alive,” Isabella suddenly said, even though Elmy never asked. Elmy swallowed hard around the lump in her throat. She acted like she didn’t care, but her ears were listening carefully.“Leave,” she whispe
Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire 192. Finally Told
“Our current suspicion is that your own father-in-law ordered someone to poison your drink.”The officer’s statement made Zayne’s entire body freeze. His large hand gripped the blanket tightly. His chest tightened as something slowly crawled up his throat.“Vincent? How is that possible… I mean… is there any evidence pointing to him?” Zayne asked, his voice strained. Even though he had suspected the man before, he never expected his suspicions to be true.“We don’t have concrete evidence yet. So far, we only received this report from someone,” the officer replied, making Zayne furrow his brows.“Someone? Who?”The officer scratched the back of his neck, clearly reluctant to answer. Zayne forced himself to sit straighter despite the weakness in his body, doing his best to fight off the dizziness pounding in his head.“Tell me who it was.”For a moment, the officer seemed torn about whether he should answer or not.

Marietta Kensley. Sunny had only met that woman once, for the most painful reason imaginable. She had asked Sunny to leave Zayne and forget about him. Now, the situation felt almost the same. Zayne asked her to leave for a while while Marietta came to visit.Even though her chest tightened at how Z

“Is that all you ever think about, huh?” Zayne snapped, stopping Elmy as she sluggishly walked toward the vanity. She turned to glare at him, hissing in annoyance. The longer she stayed with Zayne and kept up this act, the harder it became for Elmy to tell which of his actions were part of the perf

Elmy sat weakly on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the cold marble floor. Her body still felt heavy, as if last night’s events hadn’t truly ended.Gianna was in the bathroom preparing warm bath water for her. Even as the soft scent of roses drifted through the air, Elmy didn’t move from the

The room grew noisy again. More people had arrived. They were drunk and smoking, making the air even more suffocating. Zayne’s chest swelled with fear and adrenaline coursing through his veins. This was the final round. The deciding moment.Across from him, Ray crushed his cigarette stub against th
