All Chapters of Mr. CEO, I Came Back With Your Baby: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

ASHVIN After taking Nana back to her room, I went to check on Evelyn, but she was still unconscious. Her doctor, who I wanted to strangle for his stupid attitude, told me ………no,,,,he wouldn’t talk to me, so he told Ryan to tell me that she was now stable and would wake up soon. “It's best not to provoke him,” Ryan said, and this was one of those days when I wished he wasn't an asset to this hospital so I could teach him a lesson, but he was, so I had to listen to Ryan.Anyway…that was how I found myself in Luna's room, and when Dr. Wilson mentioned that she was crying a lot, wanting to see her mother, I felt my heart clench. I didn’t know shit about calming a child, so I was glad she was now asleep so I could figure out what to do when the time came. Why was I here?Was it really because Eve came to me in tears, or was it because I just wanted to? The line was so blurry I couldn’t tell.My plan went to shit when I just sat down, and little Luna’s eyes fluttered open. For a few seco

EVELYN“You mean you want me to get Luna from Ashvin?” Sophie asked, looking at me like I’d lost my mind. “Yes.”“I’d hold a grenade for you, babe; that one is easier. This man probably knows that’s his daughter. Just look at how he’s holding her. He’s probably waiting for a perfect moment to send us to the world of flowers to meet our maker. Or maybe he will only kill me since he’s obsessed with you!”“You’re being ridiculous. This man only loves Amanda.” I turned my gaze to the glass. Ashvin was now sitting beside Luna's bed, gently rocking her against his chest. One of his hands moved slowly over her back while the other supported her beneath the shoulders, and there was such natural tenderness in the way he held her that my chest tightened before I could stop it.I quickly looked away, afraid I’d start having thoughts I had no business having.“Oh, my God! Eve, you’re blushing! Do you still have feelings for Ashvin?” She whispered, and I hissed at her.“Stop hallucinating. It’s j

ASHVINBy the time I reached the underground car park, I was barely holding myself together.The heavy doors closed behind me, cutting off the sterile hospital corridor, but they did nothing to silence the thoughts tearing through my head. My footsteps echoed against the polished concrete as I walked toward my car, each step harder than the last, my fists tightening at my sides until my knuckles ached.I was angry.No.Angry wasn't the right word.I was fucking furious.There was a violent pressure building beneath my ribs, the kind that made my body crave an outlet before my temper found one on its own. My jaw was clenched so tightly that my teeth hurt, and every few seconds I dragged a hand through my hair because I needed to do something with the restless energy crawling beneath my skin.I wanted to hit something.Break something.Strangle something.Or, preferably, someone.And there was one particular person at the top of that list.The bastard my father brought into this world.

ASHVINASHVINI rested the arrow against the bowstring and looked at him.“Don’t be stupid. You know she’s not my ex.” I gritted out.Which was true because Evelyn and I never dated. We simply shared a bed after work hours.‘Then why did your heart feel like it was being ripped out of your chest when you saw her with Keegan?’The annoying little voice echoed, but I shut it down.There was no reason for my reaction.At least, that was what I told myself.Keegan was a pain in my ass, and I hated him; it had nothing to do with Evelyn.I pulled the bowstring farther back, my eyes narrowing as I fixed my attention on the target.But she wasn't supposed to hug him that way.The thought came so naturally that I almost released the arrow before I caught myself.I frowned.What the hell was wrong with me?Evelyn wasn't mine.She had never been mine.That was the arrangement I spent years reminding myself of. She was my secretary. We shared a bed after work. Nothing more. There were no promises,

ASHVINAt the time, I couldn't explain why those words affected me so violently. I only knew that the thought of Evelyn actually walking out of my life triggered something inside me that I didn't recognize, and now that I think back, I realize that feeling was fear.Raw, pure, fucking fear.Fear of being left again.I spent years pretending Amanda's departure hadn't destroyed something inside me, but when Evelyn threatened to walk away, all those buried feelings came rushing back. Except this time, I didn’t want to lose her, so I gave in.I agreed to take her somewhere, to give her the evening she was begging me for, as long as it remained a one-time thing. I made her promise she would never threaten to leave me like that again.It seemed reasonable at the time.Now, sitting in front of that screen and watching what happened afterward, it looked pathetic.I was so terrified of losing her that instead of telling her I loved her, I negotiated with her.I gave her one evening when what sh
