All Chapters of Pampered by the Dominant Billionaire After My Divorce: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Her sleepy voice, soft and fuzzy, did something to the center of Vince's chest.The glittering London skyline outside vanished from his attention entirely.He'd seen Cecily's Instagram photo the moment he'd landed. Now, hearing her voice, something in him went quietly tender. He lifted the cigarette from his lips and pressed it into the ashtray. His voice came low and even: "Did you miss me?"An electric thrill moved through her. She burrowed deeper under her blankets. "…Yes."Quiet laughter reached her — she could almost feel the rumble of it in a chest that was, presently, in London.She felt how weak she'd become since meeting Vince. When they were apart she missed him fiercely; when they were together she became clumsy and prickly with feeling. She bit her lip. "Are you in London to deal with QY International?"Stella had mentioned to her: Vince was planning to fold QY International back into the Boucheron Group in New York.Vince wasn't surprised she knew. He started to take out

That was a family elder! Who knew what he thought of her now!Stella made a face. "How was I supposed to know he'd be there — and happen to open it… But since Vince was there and saw it too — come on, was he especially enthusiastic that night?"Cecily's face went scarlet from head to toe. "You say another word about any of this and I'm throwing you out.""Oh, throwing me out! Is it because you're scared I'll tell everyone you have a pair of men's black boxer briefs tucked in your underwear drawer?" Stella made an elaborate show of swaying from side to side, grinning like a weasel.Cecily went redder.They were Vince's. After she'd washed them, she'd put them away."You went through my drawers!" Cecily's indignation lost some steam."I only opened it the tiniest bit. That black stands right out — I couldn't help noticing." Stella was utterly unrepentant.Cecily gave up."Tell me honestly," Stella leaned in conspiratorially, "did you two use anything from that box?"Cecily batted her aw

She finished speaking and reached down to pick up her grocery bag, ready to head back inside. Adam's eyes had gone dangerously dark. A surge of half-formed fury rose in his chest, and without thinking he grabbed Cecily's wrist. "Who are you with right now?!"Because why else would Cecily talk to him like this?Neither of them noticed a black Maybach coming down the street toward them, gliding through the last of the evening light.Cecily felt a flare of anger at being grabbed. She bit down on it. "Even if I am with someone — what does that have to do with you now?"She watched Adam's face go ugly, and something odd moved across her expression. "Adam Garcia, don't tell me you actually care whether I'm with another man. We're divorced. Who I'm with is none of your business."Adam's face turned thunderous. Two points of fury burned in his eyes, but facing Cecily's composure he forced them back down and gave a cold, contemptuous laugh. "We were married. I'm only reminding you — don't forg

"Vince — you — you're shameless!"Cecily burst out the moment her lips were free.There were people coming and going outside the building. The two of them had already drawn a certain amount of attention. Making a scene in the car like this — several passersby were stealing glances their way with knowing looks."Do you or don't you know how shameless I am?" Vince held her gaze, his voice level. His eyes were very dark and very deep, like still water over an unknown bottom — and even knowing there was no seeing to the end of it, she couldn't quite look away. Then she felt him shift his weight toward her.The pressure of it against her made her go rigid all at once.She could not believe that even now, he was doing this.Cecily's face went scarlet. She tried to create distance, too flustered to string words together. "Vince — you — you— you're a brute! Let me out — let me out of this car!""You're right, I'm a brute. Only for you, though."He said it calmly, without inflection.Cecily sh

She looked at him again. "He came to find me today. I didn't expect it. I wasn't going to listen to him at all — but he blocked my way. He gave me the invitation and said some strange things."It was partly Vince's admission that he'd been secretly in love with her that had settled something in her. She didn't want Adam to cause any more friction between them. He wasn't worth it.Vince's eyes moved briefly to the white folded card currently lying on the floor of the car. A cold light passed through them.He said nothing. But Cecily felt the temperature of his mood and bit her lip. She reached out and found his right hand where it rested, and laced her fingers through his. He didn't pull away. Her face went slightly warm. She said quietly: "I admit — I liked him before."The hand holding hers suddenly tightened — Vince's grip, closing around her fingers with a sharpness that had something vicious in it.Cecily winced. She looked at the man beside her, whose expression had just closed d
