“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 beside him.

“Last night, you called me and threatened me. At one-thirty in the morning,” Sebastian grumbled. “You really know how to ruin the mood.”

Zayne pursed his lips. “And what exactly were you doi

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   216. The Truth We Hide

    “I already told the doctor treating me not to reveal my identity to Elmy.” Dante looked at Zayne for a moment before giving him a faint smile. “You can relax, Zayne.”“That’s exactly why I can’t relax, Dante. It feels like I’m hiding something huge from her,” Zayne said, making Dante, who was sitting beside him, turn with a displeased look. He shook his head and gripped Zayne’s hand tightly.“Don’t even think about telling her, Zayne. I know Elmy won’t like it. Worse... she might end up hating you too for letting me help her.”Just imagining it made Zayne uneasy. Still, he convinced himself Elmy wouldn’t be that cruel to him. He did this for her safety. For her life. Elmy would understand, he told himself.“Elmy already hates me anyway, Zayne. So please... keep your mouth shut. It’s better this way,” Dante said resignedly.Hearing that filled Zayne with overwhelming guilt. Back then, he used to look down on Dante for not taking responsibility for Elmy. But now, this man had become the

  • Winning Me Back, Mr. Billionaire   215. I’m a Mother

    The VVIP room felt painfully quiet after the night that had nearly taken Elmy’s life.“Elmy still needs complete bed rest. Even though she’s passed the critical stage, her condition still hasn’t fully recovered yet,” the doctor said while looking at Elmy, who was still asleep on the bed. She had been sleeping for quite a while now. A few times, the nurses had woken her up to prevent blood clots.The doctor then turned to look at Zayne, who had stayed faithfully by her side the entire time. He was still wearing the same office clothes he hadn’t even changed out of yet. His face looked exhausted, dark circles clearly visible under his eyes.“Once she’s recovered enough, we’ll allow her to visit your baby,” the doctor continued, making Zayne gently squeeze Elmy’s fingers.“Do whatever’s best for my wife,” Zayne replied quietly.The doctor nodded before excusing himself, leaving only Zayne and Elmy inside the room.Ever since Elmy had been moved into the VVIP room, Zayne hadn’t seen Isabe

  • 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

    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

    “Where is he right now?” Zayne asked Gion.“You’re not gonna like the answer,” Gion replied with an annoyed look. He let out a long sigh, folding his arms across his chest. “He’s at your house.”Zayne immediately shut the file in front of him and turned to Gion, his brows furrowing. “Which house? Y

    “Are you sure you want to go there? The weather’s bad,” Gion said.A few hours ago, they had just arrived at Aspen–Pitkin County Airport. “Yeah.” “This is the only thing I could get. No one wants to fly in weather like this,” he added, while Zayne just frowned. “Don’t complain. This is the best I

    “You misunderstood! I didn’t touch you at all!” Sam said, covering the side of his face that had turned red after Elmy hit him with her handbag a few seconds earlier.Elmy bit her lip hard until it hurt. “You clearly touched me, damn it! You touched—”“What’s all the noise about?” Zayne suddenly ap
