All Chapters of Mr. CEO, I Came Back With Your Baby: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

SIX YEARS LATEREVELYNI watched the clouds through the airplane window as the plane descended, and somehow, my heart skipped a beat.I was back.After six years, I was finally back in the city I had once sworn I would never return to.I slowly turned my head and looked at the little girl sleeping peacefully against my shoulder. Her long black lashes rested against her cheeks, and a few strands of silky black hair had fallen across her face."Luna."I gently brushed the hair away from her forehead."We're here, sweetheart."Her little nose scrunched before she slowly opened her eyes and dark eyes found mine. "Really, Mummy?""Really." I smiled.Her sleepy expression disappeared instantly as she sat up and turned to face me"Yay!"She threw her tiny hands into the air, making the woman sitting across the aisle smile at her excitement."Can we see Aunt Sophie now?""Of course we can. She's probably waiting for us already." I laughed, knowing full well my own daughter loved my best frie

EVELYN The doctor led us into a small examination room, and Luna climbed onto the examination bed without a single complaint.I felt my heart clench as I stood beside her, fearing what he might say to me as I watched every movement while the doctor checked her breathing, listened to her chest, and asked,“How old is she?”“Five.” I responded before adding, “She was born prematurely.”My fingers tightened around the strap of my handbag at the memory of how it felt walking into the NICU every hour and thirty minutes, with my heart in my throat, wondering if I'd find my daughter alive. Tears gathered in my eyes, and my heart ached in ways I couldn’t explain because every time I closed my eyes, I was afraid. The doctor nodded as I secretly wiped the tears from my eyes. I was now hopeful and determined but it always broke my heart seeing my little girl suffering so much she couldn't run or dance like she always dreamed. “When was she first diagnosed with asthma?” Dr. Wilson asked.“Sinc

EVELYN By the time I returned to my daughter's hospital room, I was so out of breath that I needed to hold onto the door for support as I took a deep breath. Once my breathing stabilized, I walked in and found the doctor had already finished examining Luna. I immediately walked to the bed with my heart pounding harder with every step I took. “How is she?”The doctor gave me a reassuring smile as he closed the file in his hands.“She is stable for now.”For now.Those two damn words that I hated and were strong enough to rattle me for eternity. I looked at my daughter, who was lying quietly beneath the white hospital blanket, her tiny chest rising and falling with every breath.She looked so peaceful and beautiful. My heart was breaking as the voice that constantly reminded me it was my fault got louder and louder. If only my body hadn't failed and if only I wasn't working myself to the bone, maybe my blood pressure wouldn't have spiked, and maybe she wouldn't have been born prematu

EVELYNI had underestimated how much I needed to buy for Luna.When I packed our things before coming back, I had been so focused on getting her medication, medical records, and everything we might need for the hospital that I barely thought about clothes. I had packed enough for a few days, assuming we would only be in the city for a short time, but with the doctor asking us to stay for at least three more days, it was obvious that I needed to get her more things.That was how I found myself at the mall with Luna that afternoon.“Mommy, look!”I looked up from my phone and smiled when I saw her standing in front of the mirror in a little pink dress.“Do you like it?”She turned around, making the skirt flare.“I love it!”“You haven't even seen the price yet.”She giggled like that didn't matter.“I still love it.”I laughed and shook my head.“Fine. Go try the other one.”She happily grabbed another dress and disappeared into the changing room.I stood outside, watching her through t

EVELYNI barely slept that night. Every time I closed my eyes, the image of Ashvin holding Luna came rushing back into my mind, and no matter how hard I tried to push it away, I couldn't.There was something so unsettling about seeing him with her that I couldn't explain. It wasn't just the fact that he had been kind to her, although that alone was difficult enough to process. It was the way Luna had looked at him, the way she had immediately trusted him and, worst of all, the way she had innocently told me that he looked like the father she had always imagined.I hated it.I hated that his name had somehow found its way into my daughter's world when I had spent five years making sure it never would.By two in the morning, I finally gave up on sleeping and reached for my laptop. If I couldn't rest, I could at least get some work done. Luna & Co. work had already piled up, and after Leo's warning about the company's finances, I couldn't afford to let my personal problems interfere with
