Lahat ng Kabanata ng Choosing My Billionaire Husband: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

There was silence in the room the next morning as Kayden and I faced each other. We were sitting like people who were ready for an interview and not former lovers that we were. “Does he have to be here?” I asked aloud so that his bodyguard would hear. The big man smiled and flashed his gun as if that would scare me. “Rufus, leave,” Kayden instructed the bodyguard, who eyed me a little before dragging himself out of the room. After he left, Kayden and I remained silent. I wanted him to speak first, to at least mutter an apology for how badly he had treated me but he didn't. He watched me just as carefully as I watched him, his mouth sealed shut. “We have a lot to discuss,” I said finally when the silence became too much to bear. He nodded as he poured himself some off-brand whiskey into a shot glass which had been brought in by one of his maids some minutes before. How could he still want to drink this morning after getting wasted yesterday? “Did you sleep well last night?” he a

Davis’s POV “Sir…” “Yes.” I looked up at my new PA, realizing I'd just zoned out again. I flicked my fountain pen around as I tried to look busy. I was going crazy. Since when did I care what my workers thought of me? I dropped the pen, but my hands began to search for something else to do. Then I realized it wasn't about the employee. I needed to convince myself I was busy. “I was asking about the patent for the new drug.”“What about it?” I asked impatiently. The PA looked at me like I was supposed to know what he was talking about. I didn't have the time for this. My mind was preoccupied with things it shouldn't be preoccupied with, but the more I tried to purge those things from my memory, the more they returned. I was sweating even in the air-conditioned room. I had no idea what he was talking about and something told me he had probably told me about this several times. “You know what,” I said to him, waving my hand as I tried to relax in my chair. “ Take the day off or so

Kayden's povAs I sat smoking a cigarette, I felt empty. All of this money, the men, the power, I had done it all for Cassie. She had always spoken about how she didn't care for any of it, but I thought I knew her better, and I was right. After all, she fucked that bastard barely three months after meeting him. I tossed the tray containing my whiskey to the ground, and the bodyguard, Rufus called a maid to come clear it up. She didn't react, because that was like the tenth time that morning she was clearing my mess. My hands were shaking so much I could commit murder. I had struggled to make all of this just so we could finally be together the way we were supposed to be and now it was all over. I couldn't possibly accept her after that. She hadn't even tried to deny that she had fucked him. I couldn't believe it. That bastard, Davis. He and that asshole father of hers had ruined my life over and over again before and now he wanted to take the only thing that mattered in my life; th

Kayden, with his hand still holding my neck glanced from me to Davis and back to me again, before laughing drily. “So this is it,” he said. “You still have him come around to fick you, and that's why you won't let me touch you.”“I didn't know he was coming. I didn't know it was him. Stop this Kay, you're scaring me.” I didn't know why I was explaining myself so much to him. Kayden didn't deserve an explanation, but with his hand directly on my windpipe, the slightest movement could end me. I had to tread with caution. “You little liar!” he yelled before tossing me to the floor like a ragdoll. My stomach hit one of the legs of the chair and I screamed out in pain and clutched it, but he didn't stop there. He ran up to me and began to kick my stomach violently. I knew Kayden had lost some part of his former self but I didn't think he had it in him to physically hurt me. I guess I was wrong. “Are you out of your goddamn mind!” Davis yelled before pulling him away from me and landing

I heard the faraway voices of Davis and Lisa before the sound of the door opening and closing. It sounded like arguing, but it was too far away for me to deduce what exactly it was. I released the breath I didn’t know I had been holding, convinced they had both left the house. I switched the TV in my room on as I binge-watched a comedy show on Netflix to take my mind off things. After I was done with the chicken soup, I was still hungry, so I decided to go downstairs to the kitchen to take some snacks I had purchased on my last trip to the grocery store. Since I was alone in the house, I took off the clothes I had been wearing at the hospital and put on something more comfortable; a small crop top and shorts. After gathering the snacks from the fridge, I started to go back upstairs when a movement at the corner of my eye alarmed me. I turned and froze in fright when I saw a man in my house, lying down comfortably on my couch and acting like he belonged there. I was relieved a little
