Dennis returned quickly. He placed the napkin back on his lap and resumed eating his meal. “Where were we earlier? Ah, the fashion week I attended,” Dennis said enthusiastically.

Still frozen by Zayne’s earlier words, Elmy secretly glanced at him. Zayne was busy playing with his knife, completely uninterested in Dennis’s discussion about fashion.

“That was the most embarrassing runway show I’ve ever been part of,” Dennis said.

“Because the outfit was ridiculous? And you still had to walk confid

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   202. A New Beginning

    Zayne’s parents’ old house was far quieter than their previous home. There were no sirens, no shattered glass, no blood staining the marble floor.And yet, strangely enough, Elmy still couldn’t feel at peace.Up ahead, Zayne was talking to Jane.“I’m sorry, Jane. Theo should never have gone through something like this,” Zayne said as Jane came to pick Theo up.The woman looked upset the moment she saw her son’s condition. Theo had a high fever. His cheeks were flushed red as he curled quietly in Jane’s arms.Honestly, Elmy felt guilty for putting Theo in danger yesterday. She should’ve refused from the start when they asked her to watch him. But who could’ve predicted Michella would show up at their house with two criminals?Who could ever predict when disaster would strike?Elmy let out a long sigh before walking over. She lowered her head, nervously wringing her fingers together. When she finally looked up, her eyes met Theo’s sad gaze. His eyes were glossy with tears.“I want to ap

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   201. Until We’re Ready

    Blood dripped onto the floor. The once spotless marble slowly turned red. Elmy stared at Michella’s bleeding wrist. The sleeve of her pale yellow blouse had darkened into a vivid crimson.The knife slipped from Michella’s hand. She collapsed to the floor, clutching her injured arm. Behind her, Anderson raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at the two men holding Lyra and Gianna.“Let them go, or I’ll shoot you like I shot that woman,” Anderson threatened.Elmy pulled Theo into her arms as his body trembled. She gently rubbed his back while whispering soothingly to him. “It’s okay. We’re safe, Theo. We’re safe,” she murmured softly against the top of his head.For a moment, Elmy glanced at Theo’s pale face. He wasn’t crying anymore, but his body was stiff and shaking. Honestly, she was more terrified of Theo getting hurt than herself. Holding him tighter, she slowly backed away.Taking advantage of the distraction, she tried to make her way to the kitchen to grab her phone. At the

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   200. When Peace Shattered

    “Now, don’t be naughty while you’re staying at Uncle Zayne’s house. If Uncle Zayne calls me because of something you did, I’ll make sure you don’t get a birthday present this year,” Dennis threatened while crouching down to meet Theo’s eyes. The little boy nodded innocently as if he actually understood every word.Theo was probably around two or three years old now. The last time Elmy saw him was when Zayne was sick, and he’d clearly grown since then. His cheeks were rounder, and his body looked chubbier too. Jane had taken good care of him.“Unca…” Theo called in his cute little voice. Whoever taught him that word, he seemed to love saying it. Probably Jane.“Yeah, starting today, you’re staying with us for a while, okay Theo?” Zayne crouched in front of him, looking genuinely happy. And deep down, Elmy felt a sting in her chest seeing that, because she still hadn’t been able to give Zayne a child.“Kay, Unca,” Theo replied before raising his arms, asking to be carried. Zayne happily

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   199. The Family We Dreamed Of

    Zayne stared at the files in front of him without really reading them. His mind had drifted back to the large house his parents left behind.“You’re thinking about moving into your late parents’ house?” Gion asked while placing another file onto the desk. He skillfully gathered several folders into his arms. Zayne watched him quietly with his arms folded across his chest.“Yeah, that’s the plan. The house we’re living in now... I might rent it out or sell it later,” Zayne said casually.“Why the sudden move?”“That house would be perfect for my big family someday,” Zayne replied. The image of little kids running around and playing there made him smile faintly. He couldn’t wait for that day to come.Gion smiled knowingly. “Is Elmy pregnant? Is that why you’re acting like this?”The question immediately snapped Zayne back to reality. He lowered his gaze to his intertwined fingers. Without saying anything, he shook his head slightly. That alone was enough of an answer.Gion instantly loo

    “Where are you going today?” Zayne asked as he suddenly wrapped his arms around Elmy from behind. He pressed soft kisses along the curve of her neck. Goosebumps rose on Elmy’s skin along with the warmth spreading between her thighs.Zayne’s body heat burned against her, making Elmy catch her breath when she realized his arousal was pressing against her hip. But neither of them made the first move. Instead, Elmy ignored it on purpose and dragged the moment out.“Nowhere. I think I just want to lie around today.” Elmy leaned her head against Zayne’s chest. “I’ve been dealing with a lot these past few days.”“What’s it like handling projects and all that stuff? You’re even involved with your mother’s restaurant now, right?”Elmy turned around and wrapped both arms around Zayne’s neck, catching him off guard. A wide smile immediately spread across his lips, as if he was satisfied with how close they had become now.“It’s exhausting. I can’t even imagine how tired you must get running arou

  • 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

    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 h

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   29. When the Tables Turn

    Everything in Zayne’s life was going according to plan—except his marriage. The looming divorce hung over him, unseen yet ever-present, following him wherever he went. For now, he pushed that thought aside and focused on what he had achieved. A rapidly growing company, steadily increasing profits,

    Zayne knew something was off with Elmy again. Just last night, they’d been close—kissing, trading light jokes, even flirting right before that towel incident happened.So why was she cold again this morning after he asked her to make breakfast? Had he crossed a line just by asking?When he stepped

    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 jus
