Zayne waited.

One second…

Two seconds…

Three seconds…

Just when he was about to give up, Elmy grabbed his blazer and pulled him closer before pressing a quick kiss to his cheek. Her soft lips lingered for a few seconds before pulling away. The world around Zayne fell silent. All he could hear was his own heartbeat—loud, wild, deafening.

His hand instinctively touched his cheek as he stared at Elmy, whose face had turned bright red.

His anger evaporated in seconds. He cleared his throat, trying

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   83. Before It’s Too Late

    “We can stop this before it’s too late.”Standing in front of the glass wall overlooking the water, Zayne turned toward Elmy, who sat on the sofa staring at her lit phone screen. From where he stood, he could see the faint blush coloring his wife’s cheeks.The reflection from her phone made the corner of Zayne’s lips lift slightly. He felt oddly pleased knowing Elmy was looking at his photo on her screen. Whatever she assumed, Zayne wouldn’t deny it was because of the contract. He would answer honestly—if she asked.Unfortunately, she didn’t.She stayed silent, drifting back into her thoughts.“Did you hear what I said?”“I did.”“Then what’s your answer?” Zayne asked, curious.“I’ll continue with this. An agreement is still an agreement.” Elmy smiled faintly, looking calm, while Zayne gripped the sides of his trousers tightly. Whatever Sunny had done—even humiliating her—hadn’t shaken Elmy at all.What is your heart made of, my wife? Zayne wondered.Elmy lightly tapped her thigh. “Yo

    “What were you even thinking, Sunny? Why would you humiliate yourself like that?” Ford asked on the deck.Sunny pulled her fur jacket tighter around herself and stared at the calm stretch of water ahead. Her feelings, however, were anything but calm.Seeing Zayne stand in front of Elmy earlier made her jaw tighten. Her nails dug into her palm until it hurt. Something heavy pressed against her chest, squeezing the air out of her lungs until she felt like she needed to lash out at something just to breathe again.“I don’t know.”“I know you didn’t say all that by accident,” Ford accused.Sunny turned to face him, smiling faintly at the worry on his face. “Why are you so concerned? I don’t care what those damn rich people in there think.”“You may not care, but I do. I respect you,” Ford said calmly. He held her shoulders and leaned closer, his voice dropping near her lips. “I don’t like hearing people talk badly about you.”Sunny’s eyes grew misty. Why was Ford always on her side? Why d

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   81. I Chose You

    “After we get back from this event, we’ll celebrate Christmas at home, Mom,” Zayne said. He glanced over at Elmy, who was still lying in bed, curled up under the thick blanket after spending the night in his arms.Elmy tried to act normal, but damn it, her cheeks were burning. Not because they slept together. But because of what almost happened before that. Quietly, she pressed a hand to her chest, which still throbbed faintly, while watching Zayne finish his call with Marietta.“Yeah, Elmy and I will come home. Just have the gifts ready,” Zayne teased before saying goodbye and ending the call. He placed his phone on the table and twisted his arm.As if that wasn’t enough, he stretched it out with a slight grimace. Elmy was sure he was sore from holding her weight all night.Who told you to sleep while hugging me, Zayne? she thought, confused.She got up and walked over to him. Zayne blinked in confusion when she suddenly pulled him toward the sofa.“What are you doing, El?”“Taking r

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   80. You Make This Complicated

    The cold air pierced his skin like needles of ice. Still, it didn’t make Zayne change his mind about standing at the deck, a cigarette between his fingers. His head was still pounding, and the subtle sway of the ship occasionally made him lose his balance. But compared to that, the chaos inside his mind was far worse.He reached for the railing and gripped it before putting out his cigarette. His gaze swept over the dark waters. He let out a long breath, brushing his hair back as he muttered under his breath.Elmy’s voice and the image of her replayed in his head. Damn it—he wanted her. If she hadn’t told him to stop, that cabin would’ve witnessed their first night together after a year of marriage.God, could he rewind what happened just minutes ago? Could he go back into her arms? Back over her soft, intoxicating body? Kiss her until they were both breathless? Admire every inch of her? Even touch her again?Just thinking about it made his breathing heavy.Zayne lowered his head, gri

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   79. Desire and Restraint

    Unexpected.Elmy had thought Zayne would accept the invitation. A second after Sunny whispered to him, Zayne let go of her hand. He turned his back on Sunny and said firmly, “Watch yourself, Sunny.”His voice was low, but it was enough to make the air around them tense.Sunny froze. She quickly turned around, shock written all over her face. “Huh?”Without hesitation, Zayne stepped closer to her and whispered something Elmy couldn’t hear. But judging from Sunny’s expression, it wasn’t anything good.Then Zayne grabbed Elmy’s arm again and pulled her away from Sunny, who still stood there stunned. Elmy looked up at him—at his tightened jaw, his lips pressed into a thin line. “What—”Before she could finish, Zayne had already placed a hand on her back, lacing his fingers with hers as he led her to the center of the room to dance. He lifted her arm to rest over his shoulder, a faint smile curving his lips.The music flowed softly. Other couples were already lost in their own dances, look

    “Sebastian is invited to this event too,” Elmy said as she looked over the invitation Zayne had handed her.“Yeah,” Zayne replied casually.Elmy turned to him, noticing how cold he looked. “Last night… did you scold Lyra?”Zayne’s grip on his suit jacket tightened. He loosened his tie, then glanced at the new driver—Anderson. The middle-aged man seemed indifferent to their conversation. His demeanor wasn’t much different from Zayne’s—equally cold.“I heard what she said to Sunny.” Zayne leaned back against the seat and crossed his arms. “Honestly, I was just warning Lyra. If she wants to work in that house, she needs to respect you as the lady of the house.”That defense made Elmy feel a little smug. Especially after he carried her on the stairs—it only reinforced the validation. That she was the real lady of the house.“And you humiliated Sunny earlier. You shouldn’t have done that.” They locked eyes, and irritation flashed across Zayne’s face. But Elmy continued. “She’s the one who’
