The Billionaire's Ex-Wife Returns (Lucy and Landon) novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62: Love And Obsession

Lucy felt like she had been traveling inside a tunnel. It was a long tunnel filled with nothing but cold and darkness.

She shivered as the coldness seeped through her bones. She longed desperately for something inside the tunnel, searching for warmth and comfort.

Suddenly, a bright light shone through the end of the tunnel. The tiny speck of light turned wide until it burst through her senses.

Finally, Lucy opened her eyes to the sunlight peering through the curtains and windows.

It was already morning when she woke up. Usually, she would wake up around 4 in the morning in cold sweat. So, this was the first that she woke up to the sight of the sun peeking through the windows and feeling refreshed.

But that feeling soon vanished into thin smoke when she realized where she was and who was lying beside her.

How could she have fallen asleep? And in the arms of the man, she swore to hate no less?

If there were an award for the Biggest Fool of All, Lucy would gladly receive it. Because right now, she was a bigger fool than she thought.

Lucy tensed her muscles as the person beside her moved, the mattress beside her compressing under his weight and the sheets rustling against their skin.

Let him sleep longer.

Don’t wake, don’t wake!

She chanted inwardly as she dared not move as she was afraid a single movement of hers would wake Landon up.

When he finally stopped moving and evened his breathing, Lucy finally rolled to the side and allowed herself to fall from the bed to the floor. Thankfully, it was carpeted and it didn’t make her fall painful or loud.

Soon after maneuvering herself out of bed, Lucy counted to ten before she stood up and rushed out of the room. She left before Landon could wake up and see her in bed with him. She didn’t want to take that risk and have him hold her down.

Without a glance back, Lucy was out of the room and fled out of the hotel. But what she didn’t know was that right after she left the bedroom, Landon, who was staying quiet and asleep, opened his eyes and sat up.

His eyes were deep, distant, and intense. Yet, they were clearer than anything else. He hadn’t been hallucinating. Landon was sure of this.

How? Because he had been awake since a couple of minutes ago.

When he woke up and felt someone beside him, he was filled with emotions he couldn’t describe. Disgust, disappointment, and hatred. All of which he pointed at himself for letting himself get drunk and made a mistake, dragging some woman to bed.

This wasn’t the first time someone had tried to get in his bed. Some of them were sent by his mother in order to continue their family legacy, seeing that her only son drowned himself in sorrow and grief over the disappearance of his wife.

As a bachelor who has both looks and money, no amount of women tried to throw themselves at his feet for a little bit of his attention. His friends persuaded him to forget, drown himself in alcohol and they’d help get some women who could comfort him and ease up his frustration.
