Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 19 Trey carried Angela back to her room with painstaking care terrified of making a sound that might wake Khloe . He glanced at Khloe's door . It remained tightly shut . He told himself she couldn't possibly have been gone for more than two nights . She had a temper , sure , but Khloe knew her limits . She had to be in there , asleep . Besides , the pair of luxury heels he'd bought her - her favorites - were still neatly lined up in the entryway . Exhaustion weighed on him , but after a moment's hesitation , he turned and walked toward Khloe's room .

His hand was on the doorknob , about to turn it , when the sound of small , hurried footsteps echoed down the hall . " Daddy ! " Pete's voice made Trey's heart lurch . He spun around and quickly pressed a finger to his lips . The boy's face instantly fell . He shot a furious glare toward Khloe's door . " What are you doing up so late ? " Trey scooped his son into his arms , lowering his voice as he carried him away . What's wrong ? " " Mommy is throwing up ... " The title made Trey's brow furrow deeply . " I told you - you can't call her ' Mommy . ' Khloe is your Mommy . ' 11 " She is NOT !

" Pete's face flushed red as he shot back without a hint of hesitation . " She's just a mean woman who bullies Mommy ! " Trey's gaze turned to ice , his voice dropping dangerously low . " Say that again . " His expression was so dark that Pete instantly shrank back , his wide eyes blinking in fear . He didn't dare utter another word . When Trey returned with his son , he found Angela hunched over the toilet , retching violently . Not wanting to disturb Khloe , he dismissed the idea of calling the servants .

He found the medicine himself , then , helped steady Angela and gently wiped her face . Once the nausea had passed , Trey stayed by her bedside , unwilling to leave . " Angela ... " " Mm ? " Her face was pale and drawn . The words he'd meant to say stuck in his throat . Pete had always been defiant toward Khloe , but since Angela's return , it had gotten worse . Just now , he'd dared to call her " Mommy . " Trey had wanted to ask Angela to correct the boy , but the timing felt all wrong . This wasn't the moment to bring Khloe into it . " It's nothing , " he said finally . " Just ...

don't drink like that again . Your body can't handle it . " " I won't next time . You should get some rest too . " Seeing his concern , a faint , soft smile touched Angela's eyes . " I'll stay until you fall asleep , " he insisted . " It makes me feel better knowing you're settled . " 12 +25 Bonus Knowing how stubborn he could be , she didn't argue . She just closed her eyes and held his hand . He studied her beautiful face , yet a strange sense of unfamiliarity stirred within him . Time is a ruthless blade , he thought .

The woman who had once been his solace now felt like a weight , her presence suffocating . And Khloe ... Unbidden , her image surfaced in his mind poised , composed , and increasingly distant , drifting further and further out of reach . The next morning , Trey deliberately put on the shirt Khloe had bought for him . But when he walked into the dining room , her seat was empty . He finished his breakfast , and there was still no sign of her . " Where's Madam ? Isn't she up yet ? " The question slipped out before he could stop himself . At the word " Madam , " Angela's body went rigid .

Her eyes instantly lifted to his . The maid answered , " Madam hasn't been home these past few days ...
