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
Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire 189. A Secret Between Them
“Can you come to the hospital for a bit? There’s something I need to talk to you about,” Zayne said over the phone. His voice was barely above a whisper. He ran a hand through his sweat-damp hair. Ever since Elmy left, the pain in his stomach had returned, cold sweat forming on his forehead.His hand pressed against his throbbing abdomen.“Are you alright, Mr. Zayne? You sound like you’re in pain,” Mr. Tiano said.“I’m fine,” Zayne replied softly. “Just come as soon as you can,” he added in a low voice. His breathing grew uneven. His stomach felt like it was being twisted from the inside—rough, brutal, without pause.He had already pressed the call button. The nurse who had scolded him earlier came in with a doctor, barging in so suddenly that Zayne quickly ended the call.“I’ll hang up now.” His body, which had been sitting upright, dropped back onto the bed. His vision blurred. Slowly, he turned his head toward the doctor who began examining him.“What’s wrong with me, doc?”“The ef

“What are you doing? Why would you give Vincent funding for his company?” Isabella snapped. Apparently, even his mother didn’t agree with Zayne’s decision. It might benefit the company—but definitely not Vincent.“Zayne, you’re being too naive!” Isabella’s voice rose. “Vincent isn’t someone you can save. He’ll drag you down with him.” She reached out, gently stroking the back of Zayne’s hand. “You don’t know what he’s really like,” she added.Elmy lowered her gaze, staring at the cold hospital tiles beneath her feet, but her mind was anything but quiet. Something about those words felt off—and she knew it. Still, she didn’t interrupt. She just kept listening.“If you don’t mind, you should cancel that partnership before you regret it,” Isabella advised.Zayne let out a long sigh. “Isabella, I understand how you feel. But… Vincent is still my father-in-law. It’s only right that I help him right now, regardless of what happened before.”“I’

“Mr. Zayne, your condition isn’t stable yet, so please don’t move around too much.”The nurse scolded him, pointing at the IV line that had started bleeding again. She let out an annoyed sigh as she checked his condition once more.“If you keep this up, I’m sure the doctor won’t allow you to go home anytime soon,” she added.Elmy, who was standing not far from the bed, held back a smile at the sight of Zayne’s sour expression as he got lectured by the young nurse. He scoffed but still nodded in agreement.“Well then, I’ll excuse myself,” the nurse said before leaving.“You hear that? You’re acting like you’re already fine, when you’re clearly not,” Elmy sneered, pulling the blanket up to Zayne’s chest. The phone on the bedside table rang, the screen showing a call from Gion.Elmy picked it up and answered. To let Zayne stay lying down, she turned on the speaker and let them talk.“You okay?”“It’s been two days, and you’re only calling me now?” Zayne asked bluntly. “Looks like you’ve
Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire 186. Silence That Betrays
“We’ll do our best to find the culprit. Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Zayne. Good night, and sorry for taking your time,” the officer said, wrapping up the questioning.Zayne let out a quiet sigh of relief as he leaned his head back against the pillow. His gaze shifted to his wife, who sat stiffly on the sofa. She hadn’t said a single word the whole time.Honestly, Zayne was curious about what Elmy was hiding. The way she subtly avoided him was obvious, no matter how much she tried to deny it.He could feel that something was off with her. He just didn’t know what it was. Still, Zayne didn’t push her to confess.After the police left, Zayne patted the bed, asking Elmy to lie down beside him.“No. You’re sick. It wouldn’t be right for me to invade your bed.”“I think we need to talk, don’t we?” Zayne said. She froze. Again. The same reaction she had when Zayne told the police that things weren’t going well between him and his father-in-law.A flicker of suspicion rose in him. Thi
Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire 185. When Silence Isn’t Enough
“Where did you go?” Zayne immediately grabbed Elmy’s hand and kissed the back of it. His lips lingered there for a while before moving to kiss her palm. “I was looking for you, but Isabella said you left.”Elmy watched his affectionate behavior. It was so different from how he was when he was with Mr. Tiano, who had just left the room.Zayne rubbed his cheek against her palm. His eyes sparkled, and a smile never left his lips.“Zayne…”“Hmm?”“You…” Elmy paused. The storm in her chest roared so loudly she wasn’t even sure she could say this. “…have they found who did it yet?”Zayne shook his head. “Not yet. The staff who gave the details couldn’t describe the person. Said they were wearing a mask.”So they still didn’t know? For some reason, Elmy felt relieved. But at the same time, she felt guilty toward Zayne for what had happened to him.“Who do you think did this, Zayne?”He went quiet for a split second. His gaze locked onto her face—so serious that Elmy felt like he was analyzin

“You came without an appointment, Bastian,” Zayne said, his eyes still fixed on his computer screen. He took off his glasses and stood up from his chair.The tall man unbuttoned his suit jacket and sat down on the sofa without being asked. A wide grin spread across his face when he saw Zayne sit be

The touch Zayne gave had crossed a line. It felt wrong. He quickly pulled his hand away and looked down at Elmy, who was frozen beneath him.“Didn’t you say you were never interested in touching me?” Elmy asked softly.Zayne saw the look in her eyes change. The softness and calm were gone—replaced

Zayne had no intention of locking the bedroom door. He didn’t care if Gianna caught them in the act. All he wanted was to release all the exhaustion weighing on him and lose himself in the heaven that belonged to his woman. Someone once told him back in college that this world was like hell… and

Sunny clenched her fists, shooting Ford a sharp glare. She was trying to stop him from saying anything to Isabella right now. Hearing his bold words, Sunny knew he was only trying to defend her. He didn’t like seeing her get insulted by Isabella.But this wasn’t the right time to play he
