A Deal With The Billionaire : Revenge To My-ex Chapter 14.
"Dad, I need to go to the toilet for a minute." Emberly, who couldn't stand this conversation, looked for an excuse to leave when she saw where Alden was. "Go on," Petter said with permission as he glanced at her briefly. Emberly smiled politely at Maverick. "Then, excuse me." As soon as she got permission, Emberly left immediately, but she didn't go to the toilet. Instead approached Alden. As is customary, she signaled to him for them to meet outside. After being in the small room by herself, the smile and expression she had been maintaining finally crumbled. Emberly slammed her bag on the floor and screamed in frustration until she was out of breath. Her clothes and hair became a mess. Alden soon arrived and saw how the woman looked. "Hey, hey, what's wrong? What about your engagement plan? It fell through, right?" Alden gives her a few questions. "He didn't want to set me up but sold me to that arrogant man!" Emberly snapped out with emotion mixed with tears fil

"When are you going to hold Emberly and Maverick's engagement ceremony?" asked Victoria amid their breakfast. "Should I help with the preparations?" The following day, right after the ceremony, word quickly spread overnight. The journalists cleverly seized the opportunity. All the major media companies in the country compactly published the news of Maverick and Emberly's matchmaking. Although there was no direct confirmation, they attributed it to the two conglomerates' seemingly close interactions. "No need. You focus on your thesis to get it done faster. Your and Alden's wedding will be held as soon as you graduate." Victoria is no longer against what Petter said. She glanced at Emberly, who seemed to be smiling haughtily. Though a few days ago, her now beautiful smiling face was so upset. She more than knew the reason behind her smile. 'Unfortunately, you won't get what you want, Emberly.' Victoria returned the smile, making Emberly's smile disappear in an instant. Vi

"Ah, I'm sorry." Victoria immediately apologized, realizing her mistake. She then asked, "What are you doing here, Maverick?" Instead of answering, that man wipes Victoria's tear-drenched cheeks. He then took off his coat and draped it over Victoria's shoulders. Victoria could not help but be embarrassed at being caught crying in public, especially in front of Maverick. She awkwardly and stammeringly thanked him. "I just finished a meeting at this hotel. And you, where are you going?" he asked back. "I'm going to watch the theatre in that building. I get the tickets from the owner himself. He's one of my father's colleagues, and he just opened it." Victoria explained as she pointed to the building directly across from the Philadelbia Hotel. Maverick stared at the building and then turned to look at his secretary. "Jaxton, I think I'd like to see that theatre too. Find me a ticket." Hearing that, Victoria immediately interrupted, "Wait, if you want to watch it, I got t

Engagement day "What a wonderful event." "Of course, this is the engagement of the Agriche and Hurlington families." "Mr. Agriche, you're lucky to have two such good sons-in-law from such worthy families." Petter seemed very proud of all the comments made by his colleagues present. Of course, they vied to flatter him because this engagement resulted in a profitable cooperation. After all, this is a union between the three prominent families, the country's most successful and influential business owners. "For an Emberly engagement event, it's quite grand." Alden made his comment to Victoria, who stood beside him. Victoria took a slow sip of her champagne and smiled in response to Alden's comment. "Of course, Father wants everyone to know about their relationship. I wonder how the wedding will go. You don't mind if it might be even grander than our wedding, Alden?" "I don't think that's going to happen," he laughed softly. Victoria laughed along with him at this r

"Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention. I have a special gift to my lovely little sister." Victoria's voice came clear and loud from the microphone, making her the center of attention. All the guests, including her parents, her fiancé, and the two couples who were the event stars, stared at her, who was standing on the small stage, waiting for her to say something. Their facial expressions showed apparent curiosity and question marks about what she had to say. "But first, I want to state something very important on this event. That I am now breaking off my engagement to Mr. Alden Benedict." A wave of boisterous voices immediately filled the ballroom when Victoria's loud and confident speech was heard. Victoria's gaze went to Alden, who was surprised and annoyed. So was Emberly, who couldn't wait to swear at her. "Tori!" All attention, including Victoria's, turned to Petter, who soon followed on stage. "Looks like you've gotten too drunk to talk out of turn. Let Alde

Victoria stared at her father's back as he disappeared into the doorway of her study. The sound of Rosalee's crying could still be heard. She turned to stare at the frozen Emberly. She did not feel the slightest compassion for those who had always trampled her, even in their most miserable condition. Victoria was satisfied with the initial success of her revenge. She only needed to take the next step to destroy Alden and Emberly. She left the living room to catch up with her father, who had locked himself in his study. Without hesitation, Victoria knocked gently on the door when she was at the door. "Father, it's Victoria. I have something important to talk to you about. May I come in?" There was no answer from inside for a few seconds. Then, finally, the sound of a key opening was heard, and permission was granted. Victoria opened the door quietly and stepped inside, seeing her father standing facing the window with his back to her. "Father," Victoria called to start the c

"Tori, I told you I wouldn't mind paying the damages to Hurlington. You don't need to marry that guy to take responsibility." Victoria wiped her mouth with a napkin after finishing her breakfast. Another day passed, and all activities were normal except for the situation inside and outside the Agriche family. Now, Emberly was not at the dinner table, confined to her room alone while Rosalee was still present, but as if she was not in her seat. "I've told you, too, Father. I've thought it over well. After all, I am partly responsible for destroying our family image," Victoria replied. "But what will the rumors say about you?" Ah, so this was what her father was worried about. He feared that his name might get worse. Petter's ambition overpowered his love for his daughter to the point of selling her after his other daughter had taken her first daughter's fiancé. That's probably how the news about her father would be if news of her marriage to Maverick broke soon. "Don't w

One month later. The news of the Agriche family scandal was still loudly discussed by every social circle. The media continued to fry it, causing a lot of speculation. Blasphemy has been directed at Alden and Emberly. The two of them are the ones who get the most impact. Because of the despicable acts committed, their image has been completely tarnished. Emberly, who knew about it, hid herself for a while. After a month later, she appeared at her campus again. She thought all the news had been buried for the past few weeks. "Karina!" Emberly called out to the familiar person and walked over to them. Her step was confident, as if the scandal that brought her name down had never happened. She showed no signs of self-reflection or even embarrassment. Her face was still as arrogant as the Emberly Agriche that everyone knew. Karina, who was with some friends, changed their expressions right after Emberly's arrival. The atmosphere, which was initially very cheerful and friendly

"Victoria, who is he?" asked James, who was just watching while holding Maverick."Mr. Benedict." Maverick stared intently at the man in front of him as if he were ready to beat him up at any moment.Before Victoria could speak up to answer, Nadine spoke first. "Wait, wait, isn't he that very famous person? A shameless cheater? He's your ex-fiancé, right, Victoria?"Victoria nodded once in response, which made Nadine turn her attention to Alden. The woman also put her body in front of Victoria, just like Maverick, who was ready to hit him at any time."What business do you have with Victoria? As Verick said, you guys are no longer related to each other!""Babe..." James pulled his fiancée, making her shut up to let Victoria speak and end this situation."I have something to tell you, Victoria." Alden's words suddenly made Maverick look even more furious. He looked like he couldn't control himself and could have hit Alden anytime without Victoria holding him back. "There's no need to t

"For someone coming to a place like this for the first time, I think they will like it. Just like me. The aquarium is wonderful and interesting, James," Victoria commented while talking about her opinion.Victoria didn't mean to curry favor or anything. She just liked the aesthetics and the efficient and sophisticated system. After all, neither James nor Nadine would think so since they knew how much richer the Agriche and Hurlington families were compared to them."Thank you, Victoria. I heard that the name of the hotel you lead is also experiencing a lot of progress and development." Victoria smiled a little at the news already reaching their fellow businessmen."I added some buildings without changing the concept. It was my mother's hotel, and my father didn't want any changes.""That's a great achievement in such a short time that an A-lister like Angel would hold a party at your hotel. I heard a while ago that the hotel was going bankrupt." Nadine chimed in, only to be responded

"Come on, Tori," said Maverick, who had unknowingly opened the car door for Victoria, who was still silent.Her eyes took in the surroundings of the place where they were now. Victoria followed where Maverick took her and waited obediently like a puppy when her husband left her to buy two entrance tickets."Well, now, let's go in." Maverick showed the tickets and again took her by the hand to enter the building.From the outside, the building was bright blue. When the two entered the building, the blue color became natural due to the reflection of the large glass filled with seawater. Maverick was right. Victoria loved this place. She stared in amazement at this place she was visiting for the first time. It was a large aquarium and a museum displaying various sea creatures."Do you like it?" asked Maverick, quietly watching his wife.Victoria turned to him and nodded with a smile. "Thank you for bringing me here.""Thankfully, my intention to entertain you did not fail," he said.His

"Hey, by the way, isn't this where I proposed to you?" Maverick released their embrace and stared at the surroundings.Victoria blinked her eyes a few times while looking at Maverick with furrowed brows in confusion. She tried to dig into her memory to recall what her husband had said. However, no matter how much Victoria tried, she never felt that she was proposed to by the man other than having a conversation before they got married. Right after the plan to expose Alden and Emberly's affair succeeded."If you're talking about the day our first plan succeeded, I don't think it was a proposal," Victoria said with a chuckle.She stepped into the gazebo first, followed by her husband. He matched her slow pace until they sat on the same chair where they had chatted before they got married a few months ago. Time had unknowingly passed quite a while since the day they got married."You never proposed to me, but we'll talk about the same thing again in this place. So, is there a plan to expo

"How are you feeling, Victoria?" Victoria felt a cold sweat starting to break out on her back. Without answering, she only stared straight at the couple as they entered the car and drove away. She thought the question indicated Maverick's desire to know her true feelings for him. 'Does he already know?' She continued to question in her head in desperate fear. 'Then what will happen afterwards?' "Tori..." His soft voice broke the silence in the car. Maverick turned off the car engine that had been running. He pulled Victoria's face suddenly, making her put on a surprised expression so she couldn't resist. "Verick, I..." Her words only reached her throat. She could not express her feelings right now, which could break their contract. "Look at me and answer the question," he said in a commanding tone as if reluctant to be contradicted. "I don't know, Verick." Slowly, she said it without looking at the pair of eyes before her. A long silence followed again, and out of curiosity, V

After Victoria's departure, Gustav had not yet risen from his seat. He watched his best friend's husband sharply and cautiously as if he were very wary of him. Likewise, Maverick did not let Gustav go for a second, as if they were in a staring contest. No one wanted to give in first. "I warned you not to overreact, Hurlington! You're nothing more than a contract husband written on paper." Gustav attacked him first with his sharp words. "I know what I'm doing, Alessandro. We did it for both of our businesses. Instead of warning me, you should have supported her if you were her friend." Maverick replied indifferently to the warning. "I know your business, and that's more than enough!" he exclaimed. "Are you jealous of me and Victoria?" Maverick asked back while furrowing his eyebrows. "Ha!" Gustav snorted harshly and looked away. He looked back at Maverick with both hands, intent on grabbing his shirt collar. However, he decided against it. "I already think of her as my own

"So, may I dance with you, My lady?" Victoria smiled amusedly but couldn't resist accepting her husband's hand. Maverick pulled her hand until they joined the other couples on the dance floor. He swung around her waist and danced in time with the soft music. "You're gorgeous tonight," Maverick complimented, which inevitably caused a reaction on Victoria's cheeks. Luckily, her cheeks were covered with enough blush color to look natural. "Thank you for telling me, husband," she replied confidently. Victoria was again trying to control her heart rate, which had been going crazy since the dance started, with their bodies pressed together. She also had to keep reminding herself that his every gesture, compliment, and treatment of her was just an act. The feelings that shouldn't be there grew with each passing day due to this charade. No wonder Maverick's treatment seemed so natural, even when it was just the two. Until now, when they were attending Agriche's company birthday

Meanwhile, Lisa and Maverick's conversation also moved to the living room after Victoria left with Karina. Scout came in with a dessert menu for the two of them. "Bring some to Karina's room for both of them," Lisa ordered Scout. "Yes, Ma'am." Once again, it was just Maverick and Lisa sitting with their respective glasses of champagne. Lisa didn't look as excited as when Victoria was with her. Nor did she bother to show her enthusiasm in front of her grandson, who was busy with his phone and presumably at work. "I see your moves this time are quite aggressive, Verick. Especially in your competition against one of the competitors, Benedict. Is it because of your personal feelings regarding Victoria?" Lisa started the conversation, filling the silence between them without distraction. "One of them, yes," Maverick answered quickly and without hesitation, also without looking at Lisa. But that time, his answer distracted Lisa. She looked at her grandson with a twinkle tha

7 pm Victorya Hotel "Hello?" Victoria, who had just finished packing up and was about to leave, received a call from Maverick. "Did you finish your work?" he asked from the other end. "Why ask? Victoria replied with another question. "I'm on my way to pick you up. Grandma called me this morning and invited us to dinner at her house." Victoria gasped in surprise when she heard that. "What? Then why didn't you tell me from the beginning?!" Maverick chuckled, hearing Victoria's annoyed tone. "I apologize. I was too busy to finish work today quickly. So, I forgot to tell you." Victoria sighed as she shook her head. "Alright, I'll call the driver to bring my car home. I've finished packing my stuff and am just about to head home. I'm at the hotel." After saying that, the call was disconnected. Victoria went out to the elevator to go down to the lobby. She did not forget to call her secretary to coordinate the work that had been completed. When she was about to get out of the
