Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire 195. A Painful Truth
“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.

“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
Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire 190. Everything Changed
Elmy’s hands trembled. Her heart pounded so fast it hurt. Her mind went blank, yet at the same time it was flooded with endless terrible possibilities.Dean touched her shoulder. “Miss, are you alright?”The phone slipped from Elmy’s hand and hit the floor. Isabella’s voice could still be heard from the call, calling out to her, but Elmy completely ignored it. Her thoughts were in chaos after the truth she had just discovered.So whose birth date was that?Which daughter was Isabella talking about in that photo?The questions haunted her, spinning endlessly in her head until she felt dizzy. Elmy grabbed onto Dean’s arm for support.“Elmy! Listen to me first,” Isabella said over the phone. “I can explain everything. Bring it all home,” she ordered.But Elmy stayed silent. Instead of gathering the files herself, she let Dean help her to a chair.With quick movements, Dean collected all the documents from the safe

Elmy’s eyes widened. Zayne’s hand, which had been resting on her cheek, slid to the back of her neck, gently pulling her closer until their lips pressed together. His tongue brushed against hers, slow and soft. Elmy touched his arm, then his chest, before pushing him away.Her breath came in short,

“I remember,” Elmy replied calmly, her tone controlled. “But there’s something important I need to take care of,” she added, deliberately choosing those words.Memories flickered through her mind like a kaleidoscope—of all the promises Zayne had ignored over time, of how often she had sincerely acc

Zayne canceled his plans with Sunny. He postponed meetings and called off appointments with several companies for one reason only: Elmy, his wife.His phone felt hot in his hand, like it was about to overheat. He wasn’t using anything except calls and messages. Dozens of missed calls and unread tex
Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire 17. Unspoken Anxiety
“Where’s my wife, Gianna?” Zayne asked after opening the bedroom door and finding the room empty. Gianna pressed her lips together and looked away, clearly avoiding something.Zayne lowered his gaze to Gianna, who looked awkward. “Where is my wife?” he asked again, his tone more pressing.“She left
