Chapter 20 – A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

“Flossie, are you alright? Did that jerk take advantage of you? Do we need to call the cops on him?” Leia’s panicked voice sounded over the line.

“What? Why are we calling the cops?” Flossie was confused and drowsy since she had just woken. up.

“Did you not watch the news? They caught everything on camera!” Leia stomped her foot angrily as she continued questioning the woman. “Don’t tell me you slept with him! You didn’t, right?”

“With who now?” Flossie couldn’t understand a single thing Leia was saying. She didn’t really take Leia’s screaming seriously, since she had always been quite dramatic.

“With Halston Guajardo!” Leia screeched. “Girl, if you really slept with him, I’m going to be so disappointed in you I know I used to support the two of you, but that cretin crossed the line! Didn’t you say you wanted to “divorce him? How could you sleep with him?!”

Leia was only angry out of concern for her best friend. She didn’t want Flossie to get hurt again.

“Who said I did that?” Flossie felt awkward, realizing Leia must’ve watched the livestream from last night.” It was all just for show. Sure, we might have kissed, but I also got to slap him as compensation.”

Flossie didn’t find the kiss much of a sacrifice, as it was great being able to slap Halston across the face.” Damn, that felt so satisfying!”

“Oh, so you slapped him… Nice one, Flossie!” Leia exclaimed, then turned serious again. “But that’s still not a good enough reason to sleep with him! Be honest with me though, did you really not sleep with him last. night? You were seen heading home together… Wait, is he next to you right now?!”

“Ew, Leia, don’t be ridiculous!” Flossie scoffed, but she didn’t remember heading home with Halston at all… That’s why she was speechless when she saw the pictures published in the article that Leia sent.

The pictures made it seem like the both of them had returned to Sunup Residence. Although they weren’t exactly heading in together, it looked like Halston had reached the place no more than ten minutes after her.

Sunup Residence was where she was currently staying. It had only two units, and Liam had personally chosen the location for her. The woman had never revealed her address to anyone else, as she had always cherished her privacy.

Thus, there was only one possibility: Halston was stalking her.

“That jerk!” Flossie felt chills run down her spine.

After ending the call with Leia, she immediately dialed Halston’s number to confront him.

“Why are you calling?” Halston’s husky voice sounded rather surprised.

However, Flossie wasn’t in any mood to speak calmly, and immediately started to yell. “Halston Guajardo, how disgusting can you get? Do you really have that much time on your hands? How are you any different from a perverted predator?! You know, I absolutely hate it when someone plays mind games with me! We’re divorcing soon, so stop pestering me! If you keep this up, I’ll have no choice but to call the cops!”

Halston frowned, responding coldly, “What on Earth are you talking about?”

“Stop acting like you don’t know!” Flossie gritted her teeth. “Why were you following me last night? The news article mentioned that you didn’t leave Sunup Residence, even after an entire night! Are you still hiding somewhere? Are you trying to spy on me?! I’ve finally seen your true colors, Guajardo! That elegance, coldness, and modesty is all fake! You’re just a pervert through and through!”

“You’re at Sunup Residence?” Halston ignored her insults, focusing on her words instead.

“Stop pretending!” Flossie clenched her fists tightly. This man is as stubborn as a mule! Why is he still pretending when he’s already been exposed?!

Ding dong! Ding dong!

Suddenly, the doorbell chimed brightly, and the woman figured it was the takeout she had ordered earlier.

Hanging up, Flossie rushed over to the door, still in her pajamas. To her shock, instead of the delivery guy, Halston was standing right, on her doorstep.

“Oh my god, you pervert! What is your problem? You were waiting here all along?! I’ll call the cops right now!” Flossie never expected Halston to be crazy enough to stay in front of her home for the whole night.

‘This is borderline creepy!”

The man’s tall figure stood there, his face completely expressionless. “I like your pajamas, but they’re a bit too loose around the chest. Be careful, or you might accidentally flash someone.”

“Hey!” Flossie’s face flushed red as she covered her chest with her arms immediately. She had only ever worn these pajamas to sleep. It was a loose tank top with a lace around the hem. If she wasn’t careful, it would be quite easy for her to have a wardrobe malfunction.

“You don’t have to cover yourself, we’re still legally married,” he reminded her indifferently.

“Shut it! Don’t you dare look!” Flossie took a deep breath, balling up her fists once more. “Tell me the truth: Why are you stalking me? Why are you here?”

“You should stop watching dramas.” Halston scoffed. “I’ve been living in the opposite unit for four whole years. If anyone’s a stalker here, it’s you.”

“What did you say? You… live in the other unit?” Only then did Flossie notice that the door to the opposite unit was ajar. She awkwardly scratched her head, wishing she could dig a hole in the ground and hide.

‘So he wasn’t stalking me… He actually lives here! Oh no, I called him all sorts of names earlier… It feels like I’m the narcissistic one here, assuming that he was stalking me like that!’”

Halston’s sharp gaze scanned her room nonchalantly, and finally landed on her bedroom door.

“Your bedroom looks pretty different from mine.” Halston walked towards it, intending to head inside.

Suddenly, Flossie remembered that she had a pile of books about parenting still lying on her bed. She thought, ‘If Guajardo sees them, he’ll find out about my pregnancy!’

“No!” She screamed as she stopped him, right before he got to the door.

“Let me through,” Halston demanded. As someone with power and status, no one had ever been able to stop him when he put his mind to something.

“No! Absolutely not!” Flossie spread her arms out, refusing to give in. She was so annoyed that she felt like punching him. “Do we look like best friends to you? What makes you think you have the right to enter my bedroom whenever you please?”

“I am your husband!” The man glared down at the woman, who was a foot shorter than him. His eyes darkened as he asked slowly, “Could you be… hiding another man in there?”

“Halston Guajardo! Mind your words!” Flossie hissed furiously. ‘If he refuses to listen, I’ll have no choice but to use force. With my combat skills, I wouldn’t even need to use much strength to take him down. Hah, just imagine the confusion on his face!”

“Stop moving, you’re flashing me again,” Halston pointed out, giving her a reminder out of ‘kindness’ again.

“Ugh! You jerk!” Flossie instinctively covered her chest with her hands, and fell right into Halston’s trap.

Halston’s tall figure instantly moved past the woman into the bedroom. The entire area consisted of french windows, a closet, a desk, and a pink bed.

“I didn’t think you’d have such a girly side. That Hello Kitty bedsheet is most unexpected from a woman in her twenties.” Halston smirked, slowly approaching the large bed.

He was learning so much about Flossie right now.

The woman realized that the man was about to notice the books next to her pillows, and hollered at the top of her lungs: “Don’t go there!”

She instinctively lunged at him and pinned him onto the bed.

Halston stared at her, dumbfounded. His eyes narrowed as he stared at the woman on top of him and asked, “What are you doing?”

At the same time, he was wondering how this little woman possessed the strength to pin him down. Embarrassingly, he couldn’t even sit up no matter how much he tried.

“Well, I… Uhm… you’re just so handsome, you know?” Flossie stammered as she subtly stuffed the books under her pillow.

She had placed her knee on a pressure point on Halston’s stomach, which was why he couldn’t muster up any strength to fight back. It was equivalent to tranquilizing him, so Halston was naturally unable to move at all.

Seeing his beautiful face turn red from exertion, Flossie finally understood why he enjoyed being so dominant. The man looked like an adorable, helpless little lamb in her eyes.

“Be good and don’t move, alright?” She murmured as she caressed his defined facial features, wondering just how far she could push him.

You’d better get up, woman… or else!” Halston warned her.

“And what if I don’t?”

“You…!”

‘How heavy is this woman? Why can’t I push her off me?’ He wondered incredulously. I’ve never been so humiliated in all my life!’

After a while, Flossie decided that she had her fun, and finally took her knee off of him.

The moment Halston could move again, he quickly rolled her under him, trapping her under his muscular body.

“Are you done?” His eyes were dark with desire, and looking at Flossie’s lips reminded him of the kiss from last night. He knew he wanted more than just a kiss this time…

Ring ring ring!

Suddenly, Halston’s phone started ringing.
