His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1135

"Let me see. Does it still hurt?"

"Let go!" she cried, struggling against him as her vision blurred with tears.

"Don't move, you're still injured!" Thaddeus's breathing grew heavy, his fingers tightening around her slender wrist.

With tears shimmering in her eyes, Evadne wiggled her hands, which were so heavily bandaged they looked like two small, clumsy white paws. The sight was a strange mix of pathetic and comical, yet beneath it all was an endearing helplessness that tugged at his heart.

Memories of their past flooded his mind.

He stared at her, a dark, turbulent storm gathering in eyes that had been cold for far too long. A second later, his mind went blank. His lips, dry and foreign to this feeling after so long, suddenly crushed down on Evadne’s soft, trembling mouth, the bridge of his nose pressing against the tip of hers.

Their breaths tangled. His kiss was clumsy, inexperienced, like a teenager fumbling through his first romance. He even accidentally bit her tongue.

But she accepted it all without a sound.

Even a kiss as clumsy as this was enough to make her lose herself, to sink into the moment. It was as if she had swallowed every bitter medicine in the world; even if she found a piece of candy laced with shards of glass, she would devour it without hesitation.

Thaddeus’s deep, masculine scent wrapped around her, melting her, consuming her…

Suddenly, an explosive pain erupted in his temples. His vision blacked out for a second, forcing him to pull away.

Evadne stared at his visibly tense face. Her lips, now glistening from the kiss, trembled slightly, and her wide eyes were swimming with moisture.

Thaddeus felt a thousand demons screaming and clawing inside his head. He bit down hard on his tongue, grinding his teeth until the sharp, metallic taste was the only thing keeping the agonizing torment at bay. He had to use every ounce of strength to cage the beast inside him, just so he could appear normal in front of her—not like the monster he became without his medication.

"Don't be with Chad. Don't even see him... please," Thaddeus rasped, his voice low and hoarse as cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

"Didn't we break up? You were the one who ended it. What right do you have to control my choices now?" Evadne’s eyes were rimmed with red, but her smile was sharp and mocking as she deliberately provoked him. "What's wrong? Can't stand to see something that was once yours about to belong to someone else? Is it that you can't stand it, that you can't let go, or… is it that you still have feelings for me?"
