Lahat ng Kabanata ng BILLIONAIRE EX WANTS ME BACK: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

Cassy POVAfter Tony left, I went back to the master’s bedroom and closed the door behind me.I padded to the bed and just watched my best friend. Tory was frowning in her sleep. She had a disturbed sleep.Without any other thought, I climbed into bed and wrapped my arms around her. She turned to me, and I could hear her soft whimpers.Even in her sleep, she was crying.I want to make Tony grovel. Beating him was not enough.But when he requested to see her, I could not say no. Something in his eyes told me he was hurting, too.I called my brother to check on him and maybe talk some sense into him. Then, I drifted off to sleep.It was a few hours later when my phone rang. It was Caleb.“Hello, sweetheart. How are you and Tory?”Coming from sleep, I was dazed when I sat up and leaned on the board to talk to him.I checked on Tory. “She’s still asleep. She must have been too tired.”“Do you want me to send you dinner, or are you joining us?”I decided to join them so I could check o

Cassy POVOne look at my brother, and I knew he was not having the best times.He kissed my cheeks, his eyes landed on Tory, and he smiled. “How’s my second favorite girl doing?” He asked.He approached Tory and buzzed her cheek.Tory pursed her lips. “I am fine Adam.”My brother shook his head at Tory's unlively response. “You don’t look like it. Honest? You look like h*ll."Tory's puffy eyes were a dead giveaway."But don’t worry, I already fixed the guy for you. I gave him two powerful punches tonight. Consider it as having your grievances avenged.”Adam sounded flippant, but I knew it was not easy.Tony must have broken the last shred of control my brother has to arrive at that point. Adam is the most patient and understanding man I know.He never judges and would choose to maintain the peace rather than sow discord.He saw the food laid out on the table and went to the drawers to get a plate and cutlery for himself.Then, he sat beside Tory.He ladled the soup, put it into

Tony POVRight after my confrontation with Adam, I drove to the Kingston mansion to talk to Tory. I got cold feet when I saw Adam's car parked outside.I found a free spot on the other side of the road to park my car. I bided my time, waiting for Adam to leave.It had been hours, but there was no sign of Adam leaving. Until, all the lights inside were turned off, cloaking the house in darkness save by the light from the streetlamp and the moon.Everything is quiet. What Adam said to me earlier sobered me up. What if some man found Tory, and she fell in love with him?I shook my head to erase the image of Tory and our child living happily with another man. No! I cried vehemently!My eyes shot open, and my fingers rubbed that part of my head that got knocked accidentally on the overhead hand grip when my body jerked in sleep.Light permeated the car, and it was then that it dawned on me it was morning. I looked at the other side of the road and saw Adam's car in the same spot wher

Cassy POVI watched in amazement as Tony scrambled to his feet, running after my brother and Tory. If he didn’t look serious, it would have been comical. He looked like a child whose favorite toy had been taken from him. Now, he was running after them. I didn’t know how this drama would unfold, and I could not wait at how it would play out. Without thinking, I ran after them. Surprise was etched on my face when I saw the disappointed look on Tony. My brother ignored him and took Tory away. “Oh my!” I clamped a hand over my mouth, eyes wide in disbelief. “Are they gone?” I heard Oakley ask in disappointment. “They didn’t even say goodbye,” Oakley added. I watched the dismay that covered her face and hunkered down before her. I wiped her mouth and with it, the cute pout on her lips. “They were in a hurry, Oaks. Don’t worry, they will come back.” “I hope so. Unca Adam said he brought something for me, but he forgot.”“Oh. I am sure he will bring it back next time.” I promise

Cassy POVI hang my head in shame. It was not my intention to purposely keep them in the dark. It was just that things had been so hectic for a while that I had forgotten.“Have you seen the magazine cover?” That is the only explanation for why my parents found out. It filled me with regret that I had forgotten to tell them. “Yes.” Tensed silence descended upon us. I bit my lip, not knowing what to say. My parents let me stew for a while before handing their verdict. “We are coming over. We wanted to talk to your husband.”Mom said after a while, putting me out of my misery. Her words raised me in panic. “Mom, Dad. Don’t blame Caleb, okay? This is my fault.” My mother snorted. “Even your brother kept things from us. Some children you are. You try to cover up for each other. Even when you are old and gray, we still want to be updated with your life. We never asked for anything, just that.” “Sorry.” Again, that word filled me with shame. How could I have been thoughtless?I
