All Chapters of Winning Back His Billion-dollar Ex-Wife : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 11NORA CARTERTWO HOURS EARLIER “I don't know how you're going to do it, Nolan, but you have to cancel the contact." I dragged my fingers through my hair, going to sit on the sofa.“There's no way I'm going to work with Bryce." I looked at him. “And I'm so disappointed in you for making this decision without consulting with me." "I'm sorry, Nora.” He sighed. "I know nothing can justify what I did. You still deserve to know even though this was all because of you…" “Look…” he came to sit beside me and took my hand. "I see how you've been struggling with your company for years. There's no way I would've sat back and—" “Are you still defending your actions?" He sighed.“Look, it's fine." I pulled my hand free. “You were looking out for me. That's what any good friend would've done, but this is complicated. You have to cancel the contract, refund their deposit, and I'll return to Canada with my kids by first flight tomorrow.”He bit his lip and looked away. “Why are you not

Chapter 13NORA CARTER “Are you still mad at me, Nora?” Nolan caught my hand just as I reached for the door.I rolled my eyes, looking away."Come on, please…” He squeezed my hand gently. "I'm sorry about that, alright?”"I shouldn't have done that. I'm going to take full responsibility for it.” He said. "You know I can't stand it when you're mad at me.”I pulled my hand free."Don't you have something to do?” I said. "Like maybe attending to a client." “Nora—”"I heard there are nice seafood restaurants here.” I cut him off. "Buy me some, and who knows, I might think of forgiving you.”"Really?” He raised a brow. "Deal. Let me know when you're ready to have it." “Yeah. Sure." I pushed the car door open and stepped out, a smile spreading across my face.How could I possibly be mad at Nolan?He has been the only family I had ever since I walked away seven years ago.He'd helped me leave the country immediately, stayed with me through my pregnancy, attended every single antenatal ses

Chapter 15NORA CARTER“If your ride is not here, mind riding with me?" My fingers tightened on my handbag as heat climbed up my throat.Shit! Why do I have to run into him? I'd already prepared my mind that I would see him at the office, and now this?Before I could say anything, he pushed the door open and stepped out of the car.His three-piece suit caught my attention first, and my breath caught in my throat. ‘You look better in a three-piece suit, baby. Burgundy looks even more perfect on you’My knees buckled, almost giving in, but I just stepped back. Why was I having that annoying memory? My gaze found Bryce, and I swallowed the lump in my throat. Did he dress like this to spark old memories knowing how much I used to love this kind of outfit on him? And why were we both wearing burgundy today?I cringed inwardly at the thought as I looked away to catch my breath. Pull yourself together, Nora. Fucking pull yourself together! “Ms Carter?" “Thank you for the offer, Mr.

Chapter 17NORA CARTER I sat across from Bryce, forcing my gaze to stay focused on the projected screen on the wall.My throat tightened, fingers tight on my iPad. My voice was almost unsteady as I did my presentation.Shit! Why do I have to be here alone with him?The meeting finally concluded after what seemed like forever, and I stood up to leave quickly.“Ms Carter.”His voice stopped me before I got to the door, and my grip tightened on the iPad as I left out a quiet breath before looking at him over my shoulder."Yes, Mr. Winston?” My voice came out softer than I had intended, trembling at the edge.Shit! What's wrong with me?"A moment, please?” He asked, his eyes fixed on mine. "We need to go over a few things together.”I swallowed the hard lump in my throat. My eyes lingered on him for another second, then I walked back to him."Yeah. Sure.”He'd already stood and pulled out a chair for me before I got to him.“Thank you, but you don't have to do that." I said politely, pul

Chapter 19NORA CARTER “Wait… what?” His eyes narrowed. "A sleepover? Why would I sleep over at your place?”"Because I'm asking you to.” "Nora…" I glanced at Bryce, then sighed and hopped in the car.“Bryce is here." “So? Is that why you're asking me to sleepover?" “He saw us earlier." “So?" “He must be thinking that something is going on between us by now." I sighed. “I don't want to do this either, but…" “Bryce keeps bothering me." He blinked.“You just told me that he wasn't bothering you." “That was because I didn't want you to be worried about me." I sighed. “I can't always depend on you to take care of me." He raised a brow with a look that clearly said ‘but you're depending on me now’.“Ugh! Nolan." I ran my fingers through my hair. “Can you do this for me, please?" “He's going to stay away from me when he sees us together.” I said. “He would think I belong to someone else now, and would learn not to cross his boundary.”"Nora—”"Getting close to me means finding o
