Semua Bab Betrayed by my Ex, Became the Billionaire's Obsession : Bab 21 - Bab 30

GAVIN Half an hour earlier…I wake up with Demi in my arms. Remind me when last I had a morning this beautiful? I don't usually cuddle with women, well since Janelle. Let's just put it this way, since Janelle and I thought we could make things work.With Demi it came naturally. I wanted to protect her. I wanted her to feel safe which is why I couldn't leave her alone after I heard her scream from whatever nightmare she was having.She had yelled ‘dad’ a few times, which made me wonder about it. She only talked about her mother. Mentioned nothing about her dad.And she was dreaming about him?I have so many questions. Is he still alive? If not, what happened to him? Was he a bad person, or was he the best father?Right now she's sleeping peacefully in my arms. I'd love for us to stay like this for the whole day. Infact freeze the moment, but unfortunately, it's impossible.There's a lot to be done today. I'm sure there's a crisis out there waiting to explode, especially after the even

GAVIN I'm still processing Reagan's words. He could be right. After all, there's no such thing as being too careful.We have to figure out who the master mind might be. Maybe their aim isn't just to create one scandal for me.We decide to pay Frankline a visit in the evening after work.“We need a plan,” I suggest to Reagan. “If what you're saying is true, then we can't do things blindly. We can't make predictable moves, as we might end up falling right into their trap.”“Yeah,” Reagan nods listlessly. “So, you do have a working brain after all. And working dick too…”“Don't,” I cut him short, and he raises his palms to show surrender.“Gavin,” Reagan calls out before I leave.“Demi is beautiful. You might have won a jackpot after all.”I know he means well, but I also know how playful my best friend can get.“Careful with your beak. I might end up chopping it off after all,” I warn before I disappear.My mind is still fixed on the crisis as I drive to work, Demi taking the center of

DEMIOh no…I want to crawl under my desk and disappear. I shut my mouth, unable to utter another syllable.I just had an annoying exchange of words with Gavin’s mother. What a dramatic first impression!First impression? Really?She already got the first impression from the news circulating about me and Gavin. She hated me before she saw me in the flesh. So, this is not all on me. Why didn't I notice the resemblance? Only now, do I get to look at her eyes keenly and yeah, they look familiar.I want to scold myself, but then I remember why I spoke that way to her in the first place. She's disrespected me from the minute she set foot here. Judging me starting from the way she had scanned me earlier. Would you blame me for standing up for myself?Why do I need approval from her anyway? A few seconds ago, I just made the decision to keep things professional with Gavin. So it's not like I need to impress my mother-in-law anyway.“You're really unprofessional, with no respect at all,” sno

DEMIThere's no way out of this one, is there?This is Leon we're talking about. He could drill me for information the whole evening, ditching every plan he might have had.I end up summarizing the whole thing, leaving out intimate details.“Gavin claimed I had a lot going on, which is why he decided to take me to his place. On our way out, we were ambushed by the paparazzi, but everything was taken care of. I slept at his place, on his bed, but he took the couch.”“You're not serious,” his pupils widen in shock. “The real Gavin Morgan, left his bed for you?”I nod. “I couldn't believe it myself, but yeah, he did.”“And you're still not convinced he's not into you? Are you an idiot? I'm your best friend, and I love you, but I wouldn't leave my precious bed for you…”I don't get to hear what else Leon says, because my eyes are glued to a familiar face, behind him, approaching our table.It's Gavin. He must have noticed us, and of course he couldn't ignore us.He's side to side with ano

DEMIThe last thing I’d expected at the end of my very dramatic day was to see my ex's car.He's got some nerve coming to my home, after everything he did.“What the hell is he doing here?” Leon asks for the second time, and I wish I had the answer to that.“He cheated on you, with your best friend, and now…I don't think there's an excuse for that,” Snorts Leon as we walk to the house.We find Ernest and my mother in the living room. Ernest has a cup of coffee in hand, and I immediately want to snatch that from him.Mother made him coffee? No, he doesn't deserve that. He doesn't deserve anything in this house, starting from a warm welcome.But again, mother must still be in the dark about so many things. No way Ernest is here to report that he cheated on me. Mother would have never served him coffee if she knew the truth.On the contrary, she's holding the papers I recognize from a distance. If I ever thought of becoming famous, it wouldn't have been like this.Not with my mother wear
