Billionaire's Betrayal: My Ex Beg Me To Love Him Again

Chapter 0023 Chapter 0023

My thoughts were in shambles as they raced to figure out what to say to William. The obvious answer was to speak the truth, but why would I tell him? After all the pain he had caused me and the conflicted feelings he'd stirred up, he didn't deserve to still be involved in my life. Would he even care if I told him?

Anger sparked within my heart and I gave a biting remark in return. "Maybe all that hair is from all the women you keep bringing back home."

William sputtered furiously on the other end of the phone. "How dare you?" he snapped, his voice a mix of rage and indignance. "I take you back to my home, let you take all your junk, give you a nice meal and a place to sleep, and this is how you treat me? You can rot for all I care!" The call was cut, leaving me with a feeling of relief. If I had played my cards right, I wouldn't be hearing his scolding voice for a while. Despite my confidence, he was a tick I couldn't be rid of, and he would always worm his way back in one way or another. For now, though, I was free of his suffocating control and could rest easily.

Exhaustion overcame me in steady waves and sauntered over to my bed to lay down, glad I could finally relax. Turning on the TV, I switched over to the news with no plans of actually paying attention. The newscasters on screen were discussing something regarding a hurricane warning, but it was all white noise to me; just some droning to help me fall asleep.

Chemo had zapped away most of the energy in my body, leaving me with barely enough strength to even lift my head. My heart beat a little faster when I looked out the window and noticed dark clouds circling overhead, but was too tired to process what they could mean. A nice, restful sleep was all that my body wanted.

Finally giving in to my body's demands for rest, I curled up on my bed and slowly dozed off. I woke up in a confused daze to the faint sounds of rumbling and whipping winds outside my window. Panic seizing my chest, I stumbled to my feet and barely caught myself on the nightstand, fighting to remain upright.

A terrified shriek left me at the loud clap of thunder that sounded just outside

my window.

I desperately scrambled over to the lightswitch, but upon flicking it, no lights would turn on. A power failure had left my entire home in a blackout, filling me with dread.

I must have stupidly fallen asleep during an important weather warning. I have to get somewhere safe, I thought to myself, but it was far too dark to see where I was going. Darkness shrouded the room like a suffocating blanket, so much so that I couldn't even see two feet in front of me.

I let out another horrified scream as something slammed into the side of my house. Fear

The endless, sufferating darkness was all too familiar to me and I was brought back to the day I lost my baby. Even now, I could distinctly recall the fighting for my life whille envedaped in cold dark waters. It was the day that I had lost everything, and now the darkness was hack, clawing at me to bring me to its icy embrace

I struggled to breathe as my feet locked to the ground like dead weights. My thoughts were utter chaos, fitting between the dire situation found myself in and and the day that I'd lost my baby

A cry of pain left my lips as my legs gave out from underneath me and I collapsed on the floor. The strength to get back up evaded me, and even if I was able to stand, I wouldn't get anywhere with my racing thoughts.

That was when a hard fist rapped away on my bedroom door. My heart beat rapidly as I stared at the doorway. I lived alone, so who else could possibly be in my own house?

When I failed to respond, another knock came, this one a thunderous banging. I frantically struggled to stand and open the door, but my body refused to move. I just laid there and stared at the door helplessly as my world crumbled to the ground around me.

Without warning, the door broke under great force, nearly knocking it off of its hinges. A tall figure emerged from the doorway, shrouded in darkness. I could only stare up at the shape with wide, tearful eyes, any words I had dying in my throat. In two quick strides he came over to my side and grabbed my wrist. "Is this how you take care of yourself?" he scolded. "Come with me! Now!"
