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

Chapter 0067

Caroline's POV:

"William, answer me," I demanded, my voice ice cold. My eyes remained full of expectation as I patiently waited for William's answer. Surely Sophia had been foolish enough to expose her true face to him. That was the only possible way he could have found me before I could meet a terrible fate My ex-husband was many things, but I wanted to believe that one of them wasn't dense. William, however, only continued to disappoint me.

"Caroline, I hear you, and I know what you're saying," William sighed between clenched teeth, "but there's so much going on in my head right now. I promise I'll sort it all out. Just... just give me some time, alright?"

I was unable to help the disbelieving laugh that escaped me. How foolish was I to think William would just wake up? I was so naive to believe that William would, for once in his life, stand by my side instead of falling for that witch's lies every time. Even with the truth right in front of his face, William couldn't bear to blame his darling Sophia for anything.

Iscrutinized William for a moment before simply shaking my head and saying, "You're

honestly just so pitiful sometimes, William," I rasped bitterly.

William shot me a confused look. "What is that supposed to mean?" he asked, sounding unsure if he should be offended or not. I almost wanted to laugh, but that was an act only Sophia would do. How many times had she so cruelly laughed in my face at my own pain? Instead, I could only offer him a wry smile. "It's nothing," I said generously. "I'm just feeling a bit woozy right now. I just need a rest and I'll be fine."

Hearing that I was dizzy sent a shock of alarm through my ex-husband. Putting my medicine to the side, he worriedly asked, "Did you hurt your head? Where do you feel pain?"

There was indeed a pounding ache in the back of my head from where my would-be killer had brutally hit me and knocked me out, but it was easily ignored. I was more focused on William's behavior and the situation at hand, but it didn't stop William from sitting me up and worriedly checking the back of my head for any bruises.

"William, I'm fine," I assured him, taking his hand and gently nudging him away. "I'm just really tired right now. I just need some rest and I'll be okay. I was tied up all night, after all. But, William..."

I paused, a surprising idea sparking in my mind. It was one I would almost never consider given my morals, but William was a special case. Why not utilize my position?

William noticed my odd hesitation and furrowed his brow. "What is it?" he pressed. With that, I decided to just take a leap and go for it.

"It's nothing, William," I sighed, a soft smile working its way onto my face. "I just want to thank you for saving me today. I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't shown

Faking kindness and generosity was a special talent that Sophia possessed, but she wasn't the only actress in William's life. I knew full well that I was tricking William, but even as he smiled so dearly at me, I couldn't find it in me to feel bad. Sophia had uncaringly manipulated William time and time again, taking away the life that I had dreamed of just so she could soak in the glory of being Mrs. Anderson. So, why don't I flip the script? Why don't I take advantage of William's short-term guilt and make sure Sophia feels the same pain I did?

Some may call it manipulative, and maybe it was, but why did Sophia get to lie over and over again and still remain safe and sound while I had to suffer through agony? I deserved to be able to be selfish for once in my life, and I was going to take the golden opportunity that landed itself at my feet.

William gingerly brushed a stray lock of hair from my eyes, looking warmed by words. "Get some rest, alright?" he whispered, his gentle hand lingering near my face before he reluctantly pulled away. "I won't bother you tonight."

As he was turning to leave, I keenly caught the loneliness that dulled his eyes. Maybe I could...

Before he could fully turn to leave, I lifted myself up the best I could and tenderly wrapped my arms around his neck. "Don't go," I whispered, adding a tremble to my voice to make it sound authentic. "Please, I'm scared. Will you... stay with me tonight?" William looked stunned by my words. All the while, I had to suppress the smile that threatened to work its way across my face.
