Beautiful?

Elmy walked over to the mirror and cupped her face with both hands. Oh God—her cheeks were as red as a boiled crab, and… she touched her swollen lips, still sore from where Zayne had bitten them. She quickly turned away, embarrassed by her own reflection.

It felt like they had kissed just yesterday. And now, Zayne had done it again. This time, Elmy had to admit—the kiss had been more intense and… maybe even more enjoyable than the last.

“What am I thinking?” Elmy muttered, tapping he

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   179. What She Couldn’t Give

    “Surprised, huh?” Elmy asked, right in front of Michella’s flushed face. A faint smile curved on her lips—subtle, but enough to make the woman in front of her take a step back. “Or are you starting to get scared?”“W-who’s scared?” Michella shot back. She forced a wide smile—one that looked flat, even awkward. “What do you even know about me? Stop making things up.”Elmy didn’t respond. She simply stepped back, crossing her arms over her chest as she threw Michella an innocent-looking grin. Michella’s expression darkened before she turned around and walked away without another word.Elmy’s gaze shifted to Vincent, who was now staring back at her from a distance. Their relationship had grown strained since that argument. No apology had ever come from him—not even the slightest effort to visit Isabella.Was he really her father? Elmy wasn’t so sure anymore.“What did you say to her? She looked like she’d seen a ghost,” Zayne asked, suddenly

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   178. Wrong Opponent

    “Watch your behavior, Michella. I need to get close to Mr. Huang tonight,” Vincent said.Michella rolled her eyes lazily. Honestly, she didn’t care about any of that. If she could choose, she’d rather be at home watching movies or just playing games on her phone. But Vincent dragged her along—because he had no one else.That sharp-tongued middle-aged woman had gone to her daughter’s house, leaving only Michella behind with the staff… and a few attractive bodyguards Michella wouldn’t mind getting close to.“What did I even do? I’ve been standing next to you this whole time like some pet,” Michella snapped.Vincent turned, a playful grin on his face. He leaned closer to her ear and whispered, “You are my little pet.”Without hesitation, Michella smacked his arm. Vincent just chuckled, then straightened his suit as Mr. Huang—an East Asian man—approached them. They shook hands, and Mr. Huang casually pulled Vincent into a friendly side hug.“It’s been a while since I last saw you, Vincent

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   177. The Countermove

    “I already know the company is in trouble, Zayne.” Isabella looked up at him. He stood across from her, hands tucked into his pockets. The sting in his scraped knuckles still lingered.“Why didn’t you tell me?” Elmy asked. There was disappointment in her voice, but Isabella didn’t seem to care.Gianna quickly prepared some medicine, while Lyra brought drinks for them.“I only just found out myself, from one of your father’s old acquaintances,” Isabella explained, holding out her hand as Gianna carefully treated the wounds. The purplish bruises were clearly visible against her pale skin. But she didn’t even flinch. Her face remained calm—as if all her emotions had already burned out, leaving behind nothing but a cold emptiness.Could it be… Isabella already knew about Vincent and Michella?Zayne parted his lips, wanting to say something, but when he glanced at Elmy, he held himself back. His wife’s cheek was bruised. Just looking at it made his blood boil. If Vincent weren’t his father

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   176. No More Restraint

    “I want to meet Hiro directly,” Zayne said to Hiro’s secretary who greeted him in the lobby.“Mr. Hiro is currently in a meeting. Would you like to wait for a moment?” the woman asked as she reached into her blazer pocket, pulling out her ringing phone.“One moment, Mr. Zayne. I’ll take this call first.”Zayne waited patiently, glancing around the busy company lobby. He checked his watch briefly before looking back at the woman.“Mr. Hiro said he’s already in his office.”Zayne paused mid-step and turned to the secretary. “No need to escort me. You can get back to work.”The woman smiled brightly, bowed politely, and left.When he reached the top floor, Zayne entered Hiro’s office without knocking. The man flinched in surprise, choking on his own cigarette smoke.“Damn it, knock first!” Hiro snapped.Zayne glanced at the cigarette in Hiro’s hand. The man took a deep drag, only to cough again, thin smoke escaping unevenly from his mouth.“If you can’t handle smoking, don’t force it,” Z

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   175. Cracks That Can’t Be Hidden

    “Are you going to follow Michella again today?” Zayne asked, wrapping his arms around her from behind.Elmy turned her head, just enough to return his kiss. “I’m going to see my mom.”“To talk about the restaurant?”“Yeah. And maybe enjoy watching that woman’s little act again,” Elmy said casually.A quiet chuckle escaped Zayne. He pressed a brief kiss to her shoulder. “How do you even know she’s going to your house?”At that, Elmy turned around to face him, smiling wide as she whispered, “Everyone in that house is on my side.”“So?”“I told them to keep an eye on Michella,” Elmy admitted, looking rather proud.Zayne pinched her nose. “Turns out you’re pretty cunning.”“She’s cunning. I can be worse.”“So who told you? Gianna?”“Lyra texted me last night. She overheard Michella talking in the living room,” Elmy explained. She leaned in and kissed him again. “I’m thinking of giving them all a raise. As appreciation.”“I’m the one paying them, sweetheart.”“Oh…”“What kind of reaction i

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   174. Let Her Have It

    “You’ve got four days left. Have you found a place to stay yet?” Elmy asked Michella as they had dinner together.The clinking of cutlery suddenly stopped. Michella froze mid-bite, her expression turning sour.“So you really want to kick your own sister out, huh?” Michella sneered.Elmy clicked her tongue. She almost shot back, ‘Sister? What kind of sister sleeps with her own stepfather?’But she held herself back and said nothing, only pressing her fork harder against the ceramic plate, creating a sharp clinking sound that startled Zayne and Gianna, who had been pouring water.“I don’t just want to kick you out,” Elmy said, cutting her meat with force. “…I want you out of my family’s life entirely.” Her face remained calm as she lifted her gaze and smiled at the stunned Michella.“Bitch,” Michella cursed.“Watch your language. She’s your sister, isn’t she? You should show some respect,” Zayne chimed in, raising one brow.Michella gripped her fork and knife tightly before dropping the

    “Whoever made that agreement is the one responsible for Marietta’s death.” Sam’s words kept echoing in Elmy’s mind. His voice, the mocking look on his face—everything made her chest tighten.Before the funeral was even over, she ordered an Uber and left without telling Zayne. Seeing his

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   107. Last Breath

    “Go home,” Zayne said softly. His face was pale, his eyes hollow. He looked utterly exhausted. His large fingers kept pressing against his eye sockets.“I want to stay with you.”“Tomorrow. Go home, get some sleep, and bring me a change of clothes in the morning, okay?” His voic

    “Sir, I got a call from Gianna.” Anderson glanced at Elmy, who was sitting beside Zayne. He looked a little flustered, but quickly turned back to Zayne with a panicked expression.“Zayne, Gianna called me too,” Elmy said from beside him.“Sir, Mrs. Marietta has been admitted to

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   105. Her Perfect Revenge

    “Zayne and Elmy aren’t back yet?” Sunny stepped into the dining room and found Gianna lounging in her chair, scrolling through her phone.“They went to a party,” Gianna replied shortly. She didn’t even look at her—didn’t bother acknowledging her at all.Turning away, Sunny headed to the living room
