Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire 214. Just Stay With Me
The emergency C-section was completely unexpected for Zayne.Just one more month. In only one more month, Elmy was supposed to give birth. But today’s fate had destroyed every single plan Zayne had made in his head.Even hope itself was starting to feel impossible.Only fear surrounded him in the suffocating silence.The hallway was painfully quiet. The only sounds were his restless footsteps pacing back and forth, Isabella’s soft sobs, Dante trying to calm her down, Dean’s uneven breathing as he sat slumped at the end of the row of chairs, and the muffled commotion coming from behind the delivery room doors.Every now and then, Zayne would glance toward the door, hoping a doctor would come out with good news.But forget the doors opening—he hadn’t even heard the sound of a baby crying yet.Their baby was premature.Just thinking about that fact alone filled Zayne with anxiety. He bit his nails until they bled, but the pain in his fingers couldn’t overpower the panic consuming him.“S
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
Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire 212. Crimson Fear
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

The loud noise coming from Elmy’s phone made Zayne pull it away from his ear and stare at the screen. Once things quieted down, he called her name repeatedly. But all he got was silence. Just seconds ago, Elmy had called his name before something strange happened.Zayne’s blood boiled, heat spreadi

“Dennis, just send me your address.” Elmy sent the message after successfully buying the medicine at the pharmacy. She slipped the medicine into her bag. For a moment, she glanced at the sedan parked behind her car.A man sat behind the wheel, wearing a black jacket and a black beanie, staring at h

Zayne’s kiss was hot and demanding, as if he was trying to erase the distance they had built between them all this time. Elmy could still feel his tongue and the faint bite of his lips when they had kissed in front of the dining table. But instead of getting lost in the overwhelming sensation, Elmy

Didn’t care? Then why did he step into their domestic mess? Why did he have to become a tool in that damn contract?Sunny wanted to throw every question in her head at Zayne, but her mouth wouldn’t move.Her eyes burned. Up ahead, Zayne turned toward his car. As if all the time they had spent toget
