Lahat ng Kabanata ng Cold-Hearted Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back : Kabanata 111 - Kabanata 120

[Matilda]The moment Leo’s lips crashed against mine, everything in my body went stiff. At first, the warmth of his mouth felt like a comforting embrace, but then, something shifted. My heart hammered in my chest, thudding so loudly in my ears that I was sure he could hear it. My mind screamed at me. Kiss him back. Just this once. Hold him. Let go. But the more I tried to close my eyes and lose myself in the moment, the more off it felt.The connection wasn’t there. It should’ve been—it should have been, but it wasn’t. My breath caught in my throat, and my body froze in place, resisting him. Leo’s kiss deepened, but my lips stayed unmoving as if betraying the very person who had stood by me through everything. The guilt hit me harder than I expected, settling in the pit of my stomach like a heavy stone.Why couldn’t I kiss him back? Why couldn’t I just let go and feel something for him? Leo wanted me. He cared for me. I could see it in the way he looked at me, how he always stepped i

[Kaden]The drive to the Donovan mansion was too quiet. My hand stayed locked around the steering wheel, tighter than usual. Loretta’s voice wouldn’t stop echoing in my head—and neither would the sound of my mother’s shaky breathing.What the hell was going on?The second I stepped into the mansion, I felt it. Something was off. The air was heavy and tense. I hadn’t even made it halfway down the hall when Loretta rushed up to me, her brows drawn tight.“Where’s Mom?” I asked before she could say anything.“She’s in Dad's study,” she said quickly.I didn’t stop to respond. My steps were sharp against the marble floor as I headed straight for the study. My chest got tighter the closer I got. The door creaked a little as I pushed it open.She looked up the moment I entered. And just from the look on her face, I knew it wasn’t good. My stomach turned.She barely visited Dad's study ever since he passed. Neither did she try to touch any of his things. According to her, revisiting the memor

[Kaden]I rolled my neck, the stiffness in it mirroring the tension in my chest as I stared at the files spread across my study table. After yesterday’s conversation with Mason and Ryan, we agreed to look deeper into the hospital records—and get a clearer picture of what we’re dealing with. That’s why I’d scheduled a meeting with someone I knew at the hospital. Three days from now.I glanced at the time on my wristwatch just as a knock echoed on the door.“Come in,” I called out, barely lifting my eyes from the files on my table “Sir, breakfast is ready,” I stared up at Zia, my head maid as she stood right in front of my doorI waved her off. “I’m not eating this morning.”She didn’t budge. Just stood there staring at me like I’d said something impossible.I looked up, arching a brow. “Zia, is there something else?”She hesitated, then stepped back with a slight shake of her head. “No, sir.”“Then you can go,” I said firmly.As she left, I sighed, dragging my hand down my face. My th

[Matilda]"Daddy, Austin, daddy is here!" Aiden sprang up from the couch rushing to the door where Kaden was standing with smiles all over his face. He dropped the bag in his hand and crouched down in time, grabbing him in his arms"Daddy!!" Austin ran down the stairs where he had gone to pick up his iPad. I watched as his eyes lit up as he ran towards Kaden, practically flying into his armsA smile spread across my lips as I watched him grabbing and spinning them around"My big boys," He cooed, placing a kiss on their hair. "How are you? Who missed Daddy?" Kaden asked placing them down I've known him so well to tell that there wasn't his hint of fear when the kids came running to him like he was a bit surprised that they did so and even when I didn't know the reason I could tell it was how the kids witnessed him lose in the courtroom"Daddy I missed you," Aiden smiled, pulling Kaden's hand and trying to swing with it"Me too Daddy, Mommy said you were busy that's why you've not come

[Kaden] "Daddy, Mommy, please," one of the twins cried out, as he stared from me to his mother Was I insane to say my heart was thumping so fast with the idea of spending the night right here? Like what exactly was wrong with me? It should be because of my kids right, seeing my boys cry was breaking my heart and that was why I said the first thing that came to my mind without thinking about it "It's okay, Daddy is going to spend the night," "No!! You would never," Tilda blurted out, her eyes boring into mine. I tilted my neck, my brow creasing into a frown as I stared from her to the kids. Was she blind or something, seeing that the kids were bawling "Mommy, you don't want Daddy to spend the night," Aiden or Austin said and I watched as Tilda's eyes snapped shut, cursing under her breath She flashed them a smile, that didn't quite reach her eyes."No baby of course, I want Daddy to...," She paused, glaring daggers at me before turning to the kids. "To spend the night but Daddy is
