Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire 213. On the Edge of Losing Everything
Zayne had been feeling uneasy the entire time. Gion had taken his phone away for the sake of keeping this internal meeting running smoothly. Zayne had already promised himself he’d finish this project so he could focus on taking care of Elmy after she gave birth. But the urge to end this meeting right now was getting stronger and stronger.He didn’t know why.Both of his hands were clenched tightly on top of his thighs while Gion stood at the front, allowing the board members to voice their opinions.Zayne’s gaze drifted toward the glass wall overlooking the city from the thirtieth floor, which suddenly felt colder than usual. When his eyes shifted to the LED screen displaying the company’s declining stock graph, Zayne knew this meeting was going to drag on longer than expected.He let out a long breath.“Project Orion has already been delayed three times,” one of the senior commissioners said, breaking the silence in the room. “Our investors are starting to question the company’s sta

Elmy woke up. Ever since getting pregnant, she’d been needing to pee way too often. As she pushed herself up into a sitting position, she glanced to the side and realized Zayne wasn’t there.“Where is he?” Elmy murmured, looking over at the wall clock. Ten at night.The moment she got out of bed, her body swayed. She quickly grabbed onto the nightstand for support. Her head still felt a little dizzy. For some reason.After carefully using the bathroom, she stepped back out and started looking for Zayne. Right outside her room, she peeked into the next bedroom with the door left open. The light was still on.Curious, she walked over and spotted a pair of legs curled up near the baby crib. The corners of Elmy’s lips lifted when she realized Zayne had fallen asleep on the floor, still wearing his work clothes. What warmed her heart the most was the ultrasound photo of their baby still tightly clutched in his hand.Elmy walked over to him. Slowly, she knelt down and gently patted his shou

“I already told you before, don’t put too much pressure on your wife. Her emotional condition greatly affects both the mother and the baby,” the doctor said.Zayne let out a long sigh, his fingers rubbing against his forehead. “Yeah... I guess my behavior lately has been making Elmy feel trapped.”The doctor looked at Zayne for a moment. “I understand that you’re worried about your wife. But instead of constantly stopping her from doing things, why don’t you try doing those things together with her instead? It’ll make her feel a lot better.”Zayne lowered his head tiredly. “Thank you for the advice, Doc. I’ll follow your advice from now on.”The middle-aged man excused himself. Dean escorted him out of the room while Zayne sat beside the bed where Elmy was lying.Zayne’s palm rested against her stomach, which had already grown noticeably bigger. The closer Elmy got to her due date, the bigger Zayne’s anxiety became. He tightened security around her. He even told Dean to stop constantl

“You’re going for an ultrasound? I know a really good OB-GYN,” Isabella said.The woman looked radiant. Her face seemed much healthier than before. Maybe her marriage to Dante really made her happy, Elmy thought.“I already promised Zayne we’d do the ultrasound at the Kensley family hospital.”Isabella waved her hand dismissively. “Don’t. It’s better if you come with me to that doctor instead. I’ll go with you. Besides, Zayne’s busy, isn’t he?”“No. Zayne promised he’d come with me for the check-up today,” Elmy explained, trying to reason with her mother.“Hah... are you sure he’ll actually come? With how busy he is?” Isabella asked skeptically.For a moment, Elmy glanced at her watch. It was already past the time Zayne had promised. But she would still wait for him.“No, Mom. I’m sure Zayne will keep his promise to me,” Elmy said confidently.Isabella let out a long sigh while rubbing her temple. “Fine. I won’t force you. But if the doctor isn’t competent enough, just tell me. I’ll f
Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire 209. When Care Becomes Control
As Elmy entered her second trimester, Zayne planned to take her in for an ultrasound. He’d already promised his wife he would go with her himself instead of letting Dean accompany her again. Even though the doctors at the hospital already knew he was Elmy Jordyn’s husband, he still didn’t want Dean taking over his role as her husband.Especially lately, the guy had been accompanying Elmy everywhere she went. Even if Elmy saw Dean more like a younger brother because of his age, Zayne still got jealous of him sometimes.“Tod—”“Cancel the meeting with Hiro’s company. I can just do a video call with them tonight,” Zayne cut Gion off before he could finish speaking. His secretary raised an eyebrow.“But—”“Cancel the dinner with the new vendor too. It’s not important,” Zayne said while crossing out every schedule Gion had worked so hard to arrange. He didn’t care. He slid the tablet screen again and crossed out another schedule.“A meeting at a café?” Zayne looked up at Gion with furrowed

Everything Gion had told him kept replaying in Zayne’s head. Fragments of memories about Dani Watson—that eccentric detective—suddenly started making sense now. No wonder Dani always mentioned having connections that could help him whenever they met.Now Zayne was sure the person Dani had been referring to was Dante.Crossing one leg over the other as he sat in the garden chair, Zayne called the detective back.“Hello, Mr. Kensley?” Dani’s voice sounded friendly and upbeat. “What’s up? Need something?” he asked one question after another.“I just wanted to ask you something,” Zayne said, biting his nail for a moment before taking a deep breath. “Do you know Dante?”“Dante?” Dani repeated in confusion. “Dante Rudliego?”“Yeah, maybe,” Zayne answered since he himself didn’t know the man’s last name. “He’s a former detective.”“Yeah, that’s him. Why? Are you having problems with him?” Dani asked openly, not even trying to hide the fact that he knew Dante personally.“Is it true he helped

“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

“It’s cold over there. You packed enough warm clothes, right?”Elmy simply nodded when she heard Zayne’s question. Her departure to Whistler had been moved up to tomorrow. Sebastian had promised to pick her up, but Zayne insisted on driving her to the airport himself. Even though she was annoyed by
