Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire 196. The People Who Hurt Me Most
“So, are you happy now that your father’s in prison?” Vincent asked sharply.Hearing that, Elmy stayed silent. Her heart had already been shattered beyond repair. There was no room left to forgive what Vincent had done to her mother, to Zayne, and to herself.Instead of feeling guilty, Vincent blamed everything on Elmy, who sat across from him with a thick glass wall separating them.A criminal and an ordinary civilian.Elmy stared coldly at Vincent. “You haven’t even apologized for any of this. You hit my mother. You poisoned Zayne until…” The memory of Zayne’s confession from a few days ago resurfaced in her mind. Her throat tightened before she forced herself to continue. “You hurt the people I love.”“And you reported me. You broke your promise.”“Because you’re not my father. What’s the point of protecting you anymore?” Elmy replied, no longer caring about Vincent’s feelings. After all, he had never cared about hers.Vincent let out an amused laugh. He slammed his hand against th

“Zayne?”The voice made Zayne lift his gaze from the screen toward the bedroom door that had just opened. The corner of his lips curled up slightly.“You’re home?” he said as Elmy slipped off her bag and hurried toward him, where he sat on the sofa scrolling through his phone.Zayne wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her onto his lap. The exhaustion from work instantly faded away. Ignoring Hiro’s messages, he tossed the phone onto the sofa beside him.“Zayne, I haven’t showered yet,” Elmy said.But he ignored her. His arms tightened around her waist as he rested his chin on her shoulder.“Doesn’t matter,” Zayne whispered.He buried his nose in the crook of her neck, breathing her in. A floral scent mixed with fabric softener and the faint trace of sweat after a long day filled his senses. Strange, but that was exactly what he liked.Elmy’s scent.Familiar. Addicting.“My wife’s scent.”“Zayne, that tickles!”“Just for a minute. I need to recharge my energy.” Zayne kissed her n

“I’m not going to leave you.”But those words were exactly what made Elmy even more afraid.They kept echoing in her head even after Zayne was finally discharged from the hospital. He started going back to his usual routine, though he still had limitations. Gion decided to return home earlier because he was worried about Zayne’s condition.Elmy was still curious. What exactly was Zayne hiding from her? But there was no way for her to find out. The doctor handling his case insisted he was fine. Mr. Tiano, the man entrusted with writing the will, also said Zayne hadn’t explained anything.Everything felt too sudden.Even though Elmy tried to ignore it, she couldn’t completely forget about it. She let out a long sigh as she watched Zayne standing in front of the wardrobe, looking for a tie that matched his shirt.She stepped closer and picked a dark blue tie with thin white stripes. Zayne didn’t complain about her choice. Instead, h

“I don’t want to talk about that right now, Mom.” Elmy wasn’t trying to avoid the topic about her father. Her mind just desperately needed some peace right now.Just for a moment, give her time to calm down after everything that happened today.Elmy let out a long breath and brushed back her slightly damp, messy hair with her fingers, smoothing the strands before looking at Isabella, who stood there with a hopeful expression.“Just go, Mom.” She said it firmly, not caring if it hurt Isabella’s feelings. “I want to be alone right now.”“I know you’re disappointed, maybe even angry at me for hiding this from you. But can’t you at least hear me out for a minute?” Isabella pleaded softly.“No.” Elmy stayed firm with her decision. She walked to the door and opened it.“Your father is still alive,” Isabella suddenly said, even though Elmy never asked. Elmy swallowed hard around the lump in her throat. She acted like she didn’t care, but her ears were listening carefully.“Leave,” she whispe
Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire 192. Finally Told
“Our current suspicion is that your own father-in-law ordered someone to poison your drink.”The officer’s statement made Zayne’s entire body freeze. His large hand gripped the blanket tightly. His chest tightened as something slowly crawled up his throat.“Vincent? How is that possible… I mean… is there any evidence pointing to him?” Zayne asked, his voice strained. Even though he had suspected the man before, he never expected his suspicions to be true.“We don’t have concrete evidence yet. So far, we only received this report from someone,” the officer replied, making Zayne furrow his brows.“Someone? Who?”The officer scratched the back of his neck, clearly reluctant to answer. Zayne forced himself to sit straighter despite the weakness in his body, doing his best to fight off the dizziness pounding in his head.“Tell me who it was.”For a moment, the officer seemed torn about whether he should answer or not.
Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire 191. Hidden Identity
“You need to get those documents ready before we tear down the buildings over there,” the man said as he took a deep drag from his cigarette. He clicked his tongue. “If you’re even a day late, don’t expect me to offer the kind of high price you want,” he added.With the hand decorated by a large luxury watch, he lazily waved Michella away, signaling for her to leave his office. “Go. I’m not in the mood to deal with people right now.”“Promise me you’ll give me a high offer if I manage to get all the documents,” Michella said.The man let out a long breath along with the smoke escaping his mouth. “You talk too much. Get out.”“No. Say it first. Say you’ll keep your word,” Michella insisted. “Say it, Rony.”“Bro! Drag this crazy woman out of the room already… my ears hurt from talking to her,” Rony shouted, ignoring Michella, who was pouting in annoyance.“I’m not leaving.”Rony raised an eyebrow. “Oh, feel free to stay. My men will drag you out eventually,” he said casually before gett

“I can’t do this anymore,” Dennis said, his lips trembling. He was shivering badly, even though he had only tried on a few coats. His manager came over and informed Elmy, who was in the middle of handing Dennis a heat pad.“Dennis actually can’t handle the cold,” the middle-aged man said, making El

“Elmy!”Sebastian’s voice from the doorway made the tension instantly loosen. The peak of the rising desire dropped straight down. Zayne, who had been hovering over Elmy, immediately pulled back. His muscles tensed. It wasn’t just his arousal that was abruptly cut off—he also lost control.Couldn’t

Snow fell steadily in Whistler. Piles of snow lined the streets, bare trees stretched toward the gray sky, and the sweet smell of freshly baked bread drifted through the air, mixing with Zayne’s scent. Elmy tightened her arms around his neck.“You’re going to choke me, El.”Elmy chuckled and apolog

“No sex,” Elmy reminded him. “At least while I’m not joining the photoshoot,” she added, studying Zayne’s calm face that showed absolutely no expression. She couldn’t tell what he was thinking.“You’re inconsistent,” Zayne commented, resting his head on one hand. A smirk tugged at his lips. “You pu
