Lahat ng Kabanata ng Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back : Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 110

[Matilda]"Thank you." I had said those words so many times to Sage since we stepped out of the courtroom. But I couldn’t stop myself. I didn’t know how else to show him my gratitude. He’d somehow managed to flip the script and push things slightly in our favor—giving us a breath of air on a battlefield that had nearly suffocated me.Still, I knew better than to think Kaden was done. His lawyer had made it clear, they were still pushing forward. That statement alone had my stomach in knots. Whatever they were planning, it wasn’t going to be light.“We have to head in. The court will be resuming soon,” Sage said, voice cold, not sparing another glance in our direction as he turned and walked awayJulia arrived just minutes before, standing next to me with her arms folded tightly under her chest.“Why’s he acting so cold?” Julia scoffed loudlyI turned to her, my brow knitting together, clearly telling her to shut up. “You don’t expect him to be all smiley, do you? And keep your mouth s

[Kaden]The second that gavel slammed down, my jaw clenched so tight it hurt. My eyes darted to the damn judge watching as he rose to his feet and the next second he was making his way out"What the fuck does this old man think he's doing?" My eyes shifted to Tilda and she was already on her feet as they all made their way toward the exitWhat the hell does he need my kids in court for?I blew out a deep breath as Richard walked back to where I was seatedI think I know exactly what to do."Sir, are you...,"I didn't wait for Richard to finish his statement. I rose to my feet and headed for the exitJust why the hell would he postpone the damn thing. Shouldn't he have given me what was expected of him? Full damn custody of my kidsMy heart clenched and for some reason, I felt like relieving this anger before it exploded but just before I could take another step ahead, my legs came to an instant halt as I watched Tilda right in the hallway with her phone pressed firmly against her ear

[Matilda] My mind was a whole mess as Leo drove me back to the house. Sage had left after assuring me that everything would be okay and Julia even though I needed her right now, had to rush off to sort off some work I bit down on my lip as I stared out the window. I know Sage said I shouldn't worry too much but how is that possible? Why would the judge ask to see my kids? If they would rule in my favor and knowing the kids are right with me, I don't see a reason why he would ask me to bring them to court. So it can only mean that they were going to hand my kids over to Kaden Tears rolled down my cheeks before I could stop myself Why has it always been one problem to another ever since I met Kaden? How can someone be so cruel? Yes he hates me but if he loves his children as he claims then he would know that this fight would only end up scarring them "Matilda," Leo's voice broke through my spiraling thoughts I blinked rapidly, sucking in a deep breath as I tried to wipe my e

[Matilda]"Mommy, why does the judge want to see us?"This was the third time Austin had asked me that same question since we started getting ready. I had tried to explain it in the simplest way possibleI plopped down onto their bed, opening my arms wide for them without a word"I don't know, baby," I said quietly, smoothing my hand down Austin’s back. "But like I said before, Daddy and Mommy are having a little misunderstanding, and the judge just wants to meet you both. That's all."I had spent the entire morning explaining who a judge was. Surprisingly, they caught on quicker than I expected"Okay, Mommy... so Daddy will be there?" Aiden’s voice broke into the thick air between us. I nodded, reaching down to tuck his little shirt properly into his pants.I tucked in Austin’s too, even though it was already straight. My hands needed something to do. Anything to keep from shaking."Ready!" I said finally, my voice almost too bright as I looked at my two little men. They beamed at me

[Matilda]The sound of the gavel cracked through the room like a gunshot.For a moment, I couldn't move, I couldn't breathe."Impossible," my eyes shifted as Kaden roared. I watched as his mother stood up as well, but whatever they were saying faded into a distant echo as my eyes shifted back to my children.My boys were safe.I have them with me. Kaden did not succeed. We won! Goodness.My lips wobbled as tears rolled down my eyes."We did it," Leo's voice echoed behind me. Goodness, I wanted to pull him in for a very tight hug, but my eyes shifted as I watched Sage leading my babies back to me.My knees immediately met the ground as I opened my arms for my kings. I wrapped my arms around them, tears welling up in my eyes."Oh my babies, I love you, I love you so much... I love you," my voice cracked as I squeezed them tighter, my heart clenchingGod. My babies. Kaden did not fucking win."Mommy, Daddy is shouting," Aiden's voice rang out, and I stiffened. My heart skipped as the sou
