Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
“Hey! I got hurt because of you!”
She was so mad that she wanted to hit him!
“Don’t do stupid things like this anymore. I’m not worth the risk,” He looked at her scar and said in a hoarse voice. 1
He was naturally strong, so he didn’t like owing another person a favor.
His phone rang when he rubbed the medicine on her wound. Flossie saw the name on the screen and noted it was Jessanna calling him.
She asked him, “Aren’t you going to pick up the call?”
Halston hesitated for a while before putting down the medicine and picking up the call.
“Halston, where are you? Can you come to the hospital for a while? I want to apply for a checkup card, but they need your signature as the baby’s father.”
Her coquettish voice wasn’t loud, but Flossie heard her clearly.
“Okay. I’ll come immediately.”
There wasn’t hesitation to his answer.
She could tell that he really cared about Jessanna and her child. At the thought of her two kids inside her tummy, she felt they would never get any love from their father.
The thought made her sad.
Halston was hesitant when he noticed the scar that was only partially covered with medication.
“It’s okay. Go. She’s waiting for you. I can do the rest.”
“Are you sure?”
“It’s only a scar. Not like I became cripple. Of course, I’m sure.” Flossie replied, raising an eyebrow and laughing sarcastically, “If she knows you’re here with your future ex-wife, she’ll probably get upset. That wouldn’t be good for the baby.”
Her words made him a little worried. The baby was Tristan’s only bloodline. He couldn’t let anything happen to the baby.
“I’ll go now. Call me if you need anything.”
After that, he grabbed his jacket and phone and left the house.
Instantly the house became cold once again.
Flossie froze in place for a while before laughing at herself.
‘I’ve lost completely,’ she thought to herself.
But then she gathered her feelings and decided it was all fine that he was gone since it meant she could finally be free to read books and practice yoga.
Just as she was excited to have her own time, the doorbell rang.
“Could he possibly return halfway?”
She opened the door with some anticipation but saw that the person standing outside was not someone she ever imagined turning up here.
“You?”
Shocked was written all over Flossie’s face..
He was an unwelcome guest!
“Am I not welcomed here?” Haze asked with his hand shoved inside his pocket. His charming face, hidden under his cap, gave off a mysterious vibe to him.
“I don’t think we’re that familiar with each other,” Flossie replied coldly.
She didn’t know why a hacker like him was here, and she was instantly wary and on guard at his presence.
“Not familiar?” Haze repeated and laughed sarcastically. “We’re a great team in the hacker world. Although we’ve never met each other, we’ve worked together online multiple times before. We should be old friends, right, Phoenix?” When Flossie heard this, she smiled helplessly. As expected, he purposely let her win that day at H Group cause he had long known her identity.
It didn’t matter anyway since she wanted to meet him too, and he came on his own today, so it was perfect.
“Hi, I’m Phoenix. You can call me Flossie,” she said, extending her hand to the man.
“Hi, I’m Haze. You can call me Justin Baldwin.”
The man felt that his wish had finally come true when he held her hand.
He waited many years for this moment.
Since Phoenix won during the hacker competition for the first time by a small margin from him, he was determined to find her. He originally thought Phoenix was an old man, as rumored.
He didn’t expect that Phoenix was a beautiful woman whose husband had cheated on her! The differences between her in real life and online identity were so massive that it was hard to believe!
“Justin Baldwin?”
Baldwin wasn’t a common surname. Flossie frowned and asked cautiously, “Pardon me, but what is your relationship with the famous Austin Baldwin from Sutton?”
“He’s my grandfather.” Haze shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly as he answered honestly.
“You’re telling me that the unbeatable man who owns a team of top armies that could command the whole of Sutton is your grandfather?” Flossie said with eyes wide in shock that they looked like they would fall out of their socket anytime.
When she was a child, she heard stories of Maurice fighting in the war with his two best friends. One was Old Mr. Guajardo, and the other was Austin.
However, something happened between Old Mr. Guajardo and Austin and they ended the friendship. Maurice chose to side with Old Mr. Guajardo; hence he had to end the friendship with Austin as well.
Years later, the Guajardo family and the Ellsworth family became the two most powerful families in Beach City, while the Baldwin family became powerful in Sutton under the lead of Austin.
“My grandfather never imagined that one day I would be destiny to meet his old buddy’s granddaughter.” A mix of emotions flashed before his eyes as he stared at Flossie and said, “If I had known the woman my grandfather forced me to marry was the Phoenix I’ve been looking for a long time, I would’ve gladly agreed.”
“I would have treated you like a queen for being such a beautiful and perfect wife. I wouldn’t have cheated behind your back.”
When the Ellsworth family faced bankruptcy and Flossie’s parents decided to end their life and leave her all alone to face the enemies’ threats and live a harsh life, Austin wanted Haze to marry her for Maurice’s sake. 1
However, when Haze heard about the news, he went missing.
And so their wedding had to be canceled.
Afterward, the news about her marriage to Halston was everywhere.
What angered Haze the most was that he had gone missing not to avoid the marriage but to look for Phoenix instead. He hadn’t known that the person he had been looking for all this while was in front of his eyes the whole time!
“Ugh! Fate was playing with me!” Haze groaned as he slumped on her couch with immense regret.
Flossie handed a bottle of juice to him and asked, “Why are you here? It can’t only be because you regret not marrying me, right?”
It was strange. Although she was meeting him for the first time, a sense of familiarity made her feel like he was her long-lost relative. This made her wonder whether she would be happier if she had married Haze instead of Halston.
“Of course not.”
He twisted open the bottle and gulped down the juice. Then stood up and said solemnly, Do you hate him? Do you want to get revenge?”
“I don’t hate him, nor do I want revenge,” She answered honestly.
Halston has cheated on you.
She just wanted to earn enough money to raise her two kids and live a peaceful life with them that didn’t involve
Halston.
Haze shook his head and said, “we quite optimistic. Do you know that the Guajardo family is in trouble now? This is the best chance to get your revenge. If you’re willing to work with me, I can help the Ellsworth family take over the Guajardo family’s position.”
“What if I don’t want to work with you?”
