The sound of shattering glass by the door startled them. Sunny and Zayne froze, while Elmy bolted away, leaving the broken mug behind. Zayne turned, ready to chase after her, but Sunny grabbed his arm with both hands.

“Zayne, don’t go,” Sunny whispered. Her eyes pleaded as she stepped closer, leaning toward his face, trying to kiss him. Zayne quickly stopped her, holding her back. He shook his head sharply.

“Why?” Sunny whimpered.

She cupped his face, as if that alone could soften him. “You us

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   209. When Care Becomes Control

    As Elmy entered her second trimester, Zayne planned to take her in for an ultrasound. He’d already promised his wife he would go with her himself instead of letting Dean accompany her again. Even though the doctors at the hospital already knew he was Elmy Jordyn’s husband, he still didn’t want Dean taking over his role as her husband.Especially lately, the guy had been accompanying Elmy everywhere she went. Even if Elmy saw Dean more like a younger brother because of his age, Zayne still got jealous of him sometimes.“Tod—”“Cancel the meeting with Hiro’s company. I can just do a video call with them tonight,” Zayne cut Gion off before he could finish speaking. His secretary raised an eyebrow.“But—”“Cancel the dinner with the new vendor too. It’s not important,” Zayne said while crossing out every schedule Gion had worked so hard to arrange. He didn’t care. He slid the tablet screen again and crossed out another schedule.“A meeting at a café?” Zayne looked up at Gion with furrowed

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   208. Before He Let Her Go

    Everything Gion had told him kept replaying in Zayne’s head. Fragments of memories about Dani Watson—that eccentric detective—suddenly started making sense now. No wonder Dani always mentioned having connections that could help him whenever they met.Now Zayne was sure the person Dani had been referring to was Dante.Crossing one leg over the other as he sat in the garden chair, Zayne called the detective back.“Hello, Mr. Kensley?” Dani’s voice sounded friendly and upbeat. “What’s up? Need something?” he asked one question after another.“I just wanted to ask you something,” Zayne said, biting his nail for a moment before taking a deep breath. “Do you know Dante?”“Dante?” Dani repeated in confusion. “Dante Rudliego?”“Yeah, maybe,” Zayne answered since he himself didn’t know the man’s last name. “He’s a former detective.”“Yeah, that’s him. Why? Are you having problems with him?” Dani asked openly, not even trying to hide the fact that he knew Dante personally.“Is it true he helped

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   207. The Man Who Returned

    “He’s here,” Gion said quietly from the doorway of the office.“Let him in.” Zayne didn’t even bother looking up, but his jaw tightened the moment the door opened.Dante walked in. Zayne’s eyes swept over him with a judging look. Dante looked cleaner compared to the last time they met, but the exhaustion beneath his eyes was impossible to hide. His hands were rough. His skin had darkened under the sun.The last time Zayne saw him, the man’s beard had been fairly long. Now, even though his clothes still looked cheap, he seemed neater and more put together. Zayne took off his glasses and motioned for Dante to sit on the sofa.The door opened again as Gion walked in carrying two cups of hot coffee. He glanced briefly at Dante before placing one of the mugs in front of him.Zayne closed his laptop and rose from his seat. “I hope my invitation didn’t interrupt your work,” he said calmly as he sat down across from Dante.He studied him for a moment before gesturing for him to drink.Dante t

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   206. A Mother’s Decision

    “When are you finally gonna give us your address, huh?” Zayne asked while lying beside Elmy. “We wanna see your kid too, Bastian.”Elmy nodded while looking at Zayne’s phone screen, which showed a wide grassy field. Sebastian was sitting casually on the grass while Amelia held Nana in her lap—a cute baby girl with emerald eyes. The baby was busy playing with her tiny fingers.“Maybe later, after your baby’s born,” Sebastian replied. No one knew how much longer he planned to keep his location a secret.“That’s still six months away,” Zayne said while rubbing Elmy’s stomach.Elmy’s gaze softened. Zayne had truly kept his promise all day today. He hadn’t gone to the office at all. Normally, Dean would stay close to her, but today the man had completely disappeared from sight. Even the four bodyguards who usually stood guard weren’t around.“Just wait,” Sebastian replied with a chuckle. “Six months will fly by, trust me,” he said like someone who already had plenty of experience.Sebastia

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   205. Loving Every Change

    Elmy knew her demands were exhausting Zayne. But she couldn’t help it either. There was this invisible urge that made her say those things so easily, no matter how fickle or unreasonable she sounded to him.After leaving their room, Elmy chose to sleep in the guest room instead. She curled up on the bed, gently rubbing her stomach.“I’m sorry, honey. We’ll go to the zoo tomorrow, okay?” Elmy whispered softly while caressing her belly.Faintly, she heard the door creak open. Zayne’s footsteps followed soon after, along with the mattress dipping behind her.Zayne’s arms wrapped around her from behind, instantly calming her down, though she was still upset about how he had snapped at her earlier.“Why are you here? Go back to your room.”“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have yelled at you earlier. I honestly didn’t expect your mood to change that fast,” Zayne said weakly.His warm breath brushed against her neck before soft kisses replaced it, making butterflies flutter wildly in Elmy’s stomach.

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   204. The Cravings That Broke Him

    “Still mad at me?”Zayne walked slowly behind Elmy. When she didn’t respond, he moved to her side, glancing at her face and quickly concluding that his wife was definitely still upset with him. Elmy pouted.“Sweetheart…”“Go talk to a wall.”“It won’t answer me,” Zayne replied. “Talking to you is better.”Elmy shot him a glance before clicking her tongue. Ever since getting pregnant with their baby, she’d become more sensitive, and things only got worse after Zayne brought four bodyguards into the house. Even though she’d protested, Zayne still couldn’t bring himself to leave her unprotected.“Go away. I don’t wanna see you,” Elmy said before standing up and loudly calling for Dean.The man came over, briefly glancing at Zayne with an awkward expression. “Yes, ma’am? Do you need something?” Dean asked.“Take me out somewhere. Staying at home all the time is suffocating.”“Of course.”“I can go with you,” Zayne chimed in, only to be met with Elmy’s flat stare. She simply raised one eye

    “Mom, I can’t take you all the way home. I still have something to take care of,” Zayne said, leaning down to kiss his mother on the cheek.Marietta didn’t seem bothered at all. She nodded and patted Zayne’s shoulder.“That’s fine.” Before getting into the car, she paused and turned back to him. “A

    “You misunderstood! I didn’t touch you at all!” Sam said, covering the side of his face that had turned red after Elmy hit him with her handbag a few seconds earlier.Elmy bit her lip hard until it hurt. “You clearly touched me, damn it! You touched—”“What’s all the noise about?” Zayne suddenly ap

    “Make sure my mother doesn’t hear about this,” Zayne said to Tiano, who was now standing in front of his desk. After leaving Bastian’s residence, he had gone straight home and asked Tiano to come over. Fortunately, the man had come immediately and informed him that the news hadn’t reached Marietta

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   90. The Cruel Truth

    Zayne stepped out of the bathroom first, a bathrobe wrapped around his body. His eyes immediately landed on Sunny, who was standing in the middle of the room.“It’s rude to walk into someone else’s room without permission,” Zayne said as he headed toward the sofa, rubbing his wet hair with a towel.
