Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire 187. Loyalty Has a Price
“Mr. Zayne, your condition isn’t stable yet, so please don’t move around too much.”The nurse scolded him, pointing at the IV line that had started bleeding again. She let out an annoyed sigh as she checked his condition once more.“If you keep this up, I’m sure the doctor won’t allow you to go home anytime soon,” she added.Elmy, who was standing not far from the bed, held back a smile at the sight of Zayne’s sour expression as he got lectured by the young nurse. He scoffed but still nodded in agreement.“Well then, I’ll excuse myself,” the nurse said before leaving.“You hear that? You’re acting like you’re already fine, when you’re clearly not,” Elmy sneered, pulling the blanket up to Zayne’s chest. The phone on the bedside table rang, the screen showing a call from Gion.Elmy picked it up and answered. To let Zayne stay lying down, she turned on the speaker and let them talk.“You okay?”“It’s been two days, and you’re only calling me now?” Zayne asked bluntly. “Looks like you’ve
Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire 186. Silence That Betrays
“We’ll do our best to find the culprit. Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Zayne. Good night, and sorry for taking your time,” the officer said, wrapping up the questioning.Zayne let out a quiet sigh of relief as he leaned his head back against the pillow. His gaze shifted to his wife, who sat stiffly on the sofa. She hadn’t said a single word the whole time.Honestly, Zayne was curious about what Elmy was hiding. The way she subtly avoided him was obvious, no matter how much she tried to deny it.He could feel that something was off with her. He just didn’t know what it was. Still, Zayne didn’t push her to confess.After the police left, Zayne patted the bed, asking Elmy to lie down beside him.“No. You’re sick. It wouldn’t be right for me to invade your bed.”“I think we need to talk, don’t we?” Zayne said. She froze. Again. The same reaction she had when Zayne told the police that things weren’t going well between him and his father-in-law.A flicker of suspicion rose in him. Thi

“Where did you go?” Zayne immediately grabbed Elmy’s hand and kissed the back of it. His lips lingered there for a while before moving to kiss her palm. “I was looking for you, but Isabella said you left.”Elmy watched his affectionate behavior. It was so different from how he was when he was with Mr. Tiano, who had just left the room.Zayne rubbed his cheek against her palm. His eyes sparkled, and a smile never left his lips.“Zayne…”“Hmm?”“You…” Elmy paused. The storm in her chest roared so loudly she wasn’t even sure she could say this. “…have they found who did it yet?”Zayne shook his head. “Not yet. The staff who gave the details couldn’t describe the person. Said they were wearing a mask.”So they still didn’t know? For some reason, Elmy felt relieved. But at the same time, she felt guilty toward Zayne for what had happened to him.“Who do you think did this, Zayne?”He went quiet for a split second. His gaze locked onto her face—so serious that Elmy felt like he was analyzin

“Where are you going?” Isabella asked.“I need to head out for a bit, Mom. If Zayne wakes up, please let me know,” Elmy said as she grabbed her car keys from the nightstand. Isabella let out a long sigh and simply let her go.Behind the wheel, Elmy’s emotions churned violently. Truthfully, she wasn’t sure yet whether Vincent was behind all of this. But considering everything that had happened between them, wasn’t he the most likely to do something this cruel?Her grip tightened around the steering wheel. With firm resolve, she started the engine and drove through the quiet streets toward the Jordyn residence. When she arrived, the staff greeted her, including Dean.“Where’s my dad?”“In his study,” Dean replied with a grim expression. “But you shouldn’t go in right now. They’re… in the middle of something. I don’t want you to be shocked.”“I’ve already seen what goes on between them, Dean,” Elmy replied, brushing past him. Dean didn’t stop her, nor did he try.Step by step, she climbe

“Zayne’s been taken to the hospital,” Mr. Tiano said over the phone.Elmy didn’t react right away. For a split second, her brain refused to process the words—until the glass slipped from her hand.It shattered on the floor.Her world seemed to stop. Even her heartbeat.The sound of breaking glass made Gianna and Isabella, who had been cooking together in the kitchen, turn around. Elmy stood frozen.So her gut feeling had been right. Something had happened to Zayne.The shards scattered across the floor. Some cut into her feet, but she didn’t care. She quickly got up from her chair. Her head was filled with alarms. The image of Zayne being stabbed by Ray flashed back into her mind.A loud ringing echoed in her ears, like a warning.Without saying a word, Elmy rushed out. But—“Where are you going? Oh my God, Elmy, your foot is bleeding,” Isabella scolded. She grabbed Elmy’s arm, forcing her to stop for a moment. “What’s wrong with you, huh? You’re hurt—why aren’t you taking care of you

“How do I look?” Zayne asked, standing in front of Mr. Tiano.If it were Gion, with his big mouth, he would’ve already made a blunt comment about Zayne’s appearance. But Mr. Tiano was different. The middle-aged man simply nodded and gave a thumbs-up.No sarcastic remarks like: your tie doesn’t match, why is your suit wrinkled, didn’t you comb your hair?—none of that.Maybe Zayne’s ears would be safe now, but honestly… he kind of missed Gion. That guy was probably off enjoying himself with some sexy women in Hawaii.Maybe.Or maybe not.Forget about Gion.Zayne grabbed his briefcase and walked out of the lobby with Mr. Tiano. His important meeting with top executives was being held at a five-star hotel. He kept adjusting his suit over and over again before getting into the car with Mr. Tiano.He exhaled repeatedly, but it did nothing to ease the weight sitting in his chest. This kind of situation was nothing new to him, yet for some reason, he didn’t feel as calm as usual today.“What

“Are you sure you want to go there? The weather’s bad,” Gion said.A few hours ago, they had just arrived at Aspen–Pitkin County Airport. “Yeah.” “This is the only thing I could get. No one wants to fly in weather like this,” he added, while Zayne just frowned. “Don’t complain. This is the best I

“At least she left before she could embarrass this family even more because of that damn agreement!” Sam snapped, gripping the railing as Zayne shoved him.“Bastard!” Zayne cursed, pushing him harder until Sam cried out for mercy. The commotion drew the rest of the family to the balcony. Tiano rush

“Oh God,” Zayne muttered, running a hand over his face. He sat at the edge of the bed, both hands resting on his thighs. His wife was gone—he didn’t know where. Even when he needed her the most.Zayne let out a long breath as he loosened the collar of his shirt. The door opened, and Sunny appeared

The luxurious house meant nothing anymore. Silent. There was no longer Marietta, sipping wine late at night in the living room. No longer her figure reading the morning paper at the dining table during breakfast. No more scolding. No more hugs and kisses. No more of the people he loved.Now, he was
