Revenge Vows of the Billionaire's Ex のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

ELLE It was a Saturday, but the house seemed gloomy. Eleanor had disappeared first thing in the morning and Theon had to go to the next state for a business meeting. He said he would be back the next day, so I considered staying the night with Milo. I knew he would love it. The only problem was Eliza who was coming along. I couldn’t keep her overnight. It would make Amanda curious and the last thing I needed was for her to get curious and start poking her nose in my business when she became suspicious. I poked my head inside Eliza’s room to see her sitting on the bed while whispering to her doll and giggling like they shared a secret. She was dressed in a blush colored long sleeved top, denim overalls and sneakers. Her hair had been curled and put into pigtails, and she wore a cute luxury pause and a thin gold bracelet. I had to admit, Theon was very generous when it came to her needs. He may not spend a lot of time with her which he felt guilty about, but he spared no expenses

THEON I decided to come to the agreement that Eleanor had changed, and she was no longer the person I was supposed to marry five years ago. Part of it was my fault along with her parents and whoever tried to frame her especially since I didn’t know what happened to her the last five years and there were no leads. She wouldn’t talk and I didn’t care to force her anymore. It had happened regrettably, but I had Elle now and I didn’t want to change this reality anymore. I was fine with it. I glanced back at her as she stood, watching the car as it rolled into the compound. She had a fearful expression on her face that rubbed me the wrong way, but I decided to shrug it off. A notification came into my phone, and I saw it was from the Sterling hospital’s director. The DNA test I had asked him to conduct was ready and he was asking if I could come and pick it up. “To the Sterlings Hospital” I told the driver who turned the car around at my order. I sent a quick text to Julian that I

ELLE I tucked the blanket properly under a sleeping Milo. I sat at the edge of the bed, watching him sleep. He had fallen asleep a while ago after dinner. I walked to the shelve and picked out a stuffed bunny and placed it under his arms, watching with a smile as he cuddled it closer. I smoothened the curls away from his forehead and brushed a soft kiss against his temple, careful so I wouldn’t wake him up. “Sleep well, my love” I whispered with a fond smile. “I promise I will be back soon. "Milo's lips parted in a contented sigh with a smile at the corner of his lips. My chest tightened. I didn’t want to leave him, but I had no choice. I wish I could bring him with me. I kissed him again and stared for a while before I forced myself to tiptoe out of the room and close the door gently behind me. When I went back to the living room, Sophie, Jeremy and Malone were waiting. Jeremy was glued to Malone who didn’t mind at all. The sight made me smile. “Did he wake up?” Sophie ask

THEON The board meeting had finally ended, and I couldn’t be more relieved. I was sure that everyone present shared the same relief that I did. Nobody wanted to work on the weekends, me especially but the new branch was scheduled to be opened soon and there was a lot of things that was yet to be done. Hours of drawn-out planning, tense arguments with the engineering team, and overseeing budget adjustments had left a dull throb pulsing at the back of my skull. Me and Julian had arrived at the site makeshift conference room straight from the airport, so I was still jetlagged, and I needed to rest soon. Julian on the other hand didn’t seem like he was tired. He had a big grin on his face as we walked out of the site to our car. “You don’t look tired” I told him as we took our seats at the back seat of the car. “I’m one push from shutting down” I grumbled, and he laughed. “You want to go for drinks when we get to the hotel? We deserve it after a long day” He suggested. We were g

AUTHOR’S POV “I’ll pick you up at 3. Wear something cute” Jeremy had dropped his phone as if it burned him as soon as the message from Malone came in. He eyed the phone with trepidation. Malone asked him out on a date. An actual date with just the two of them, and he was struggling with how to reply. Did he want to go on that date? Of course, he wanted to. He had dreamed of the brown skinned and golden-eyed boy on more times than he could count, but now that his dream was actually becoming a reality, he was scared and didn't know how to react. With shaky hands, he picked up the discarded phone on the bed and reread the message more than five times before he texted back an okay. His mind has been constantly plagued by the kiss last night. The firm press of Malone’s lips against his, the way it stole the air from his lungs and the embarrassing moment he melted into the kiss like it was his salvation. He didn’t want to think about how Elle and Sophie had been there to witnes
