After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness Chapter 63 — All We Can Do
Emelia's POVI was slipping in and out of consciousness. The weight of the unbearable pain in my stomach and in my heart was too overwhelming.Lily's psychotic and selfish actions were possibly costing me the life of my baby. I could only hope and pray that everything was okay. They had to be okay, right?But what made matters worse was to see the desperation and concern on Victor's face—like he'd forgotten all the lies and her blatant manipulation.If I had gone through with the divorce sooner, left his company when Alexis told me to, and just let those two be together, none of this would be happening. My baby would have a better chance to live, and I'd get the chance to show them the love we both deserved.It felt like I was being robbed.When I finally came to, I was surrounded by white, sterile walls. Nurses surrounded my bed as they stuck things to my chest and stomach, inserted an IV into my arm, and had inserted a cannula into my nose to help with my breathing. Their movements w

Emelia's POV"The team and I did everything we could, but the damage was too severe. Your baby couldn't be saved." The doctor's expression was grief-stricken. "I… I'm so incredibly sorry, Miss Emelia."The silence that came next was so much heavier than anything I'd heard before. It was crushing and debilitating, and like every hit of oxygen was being stolen right from my lungs.My baby. My sweet bundle of joy that I never got the chance to meet was taken from me.No, I killed them with my stupidity and stubbornness.A wave of numbness crashed over me; a bitterly cold, and empty sorrow flooded my body that sent shivers throughout.The physical pain that I'd felt some odd hours ago had transcended into something far deeper and darker than I thought imaginable. I felt its claws sink into my flesh and latch onto my soul. The weight of this loss was my horrible anchor into the terrible reality of what I never got to experience.My mind screamed in anguish, but nothing was coming out of my

Emelia's POV"How could I be so heartless?" I yelled back, the pain in my chest tightening to the point where I couldn't even breathe. "How can you even look at me and say those words?!"Victor's accusatory question felt like he'd thrown a dagger at my already bruised and shattered heart. I'd just lost my damn child! Was he out of his mind?! How could he do this to me while I was going through the worst pain of my life?"Don't act like you're innocent in all this!" Victor fired back. His anger was palpable as heat radiated off his body. "Lily's leg is broken because of you!""And that's what you believe? Is that what Lily said happened? Can Lily never lie to you? How about the time she lied to you while we were gone on our trip to Blasdell? Did you forget about that?!" I fired the questions in rapid succession like they were bullets—and Victor was my mark.His face flushed red. "I was only doing what I thought I needed to! I thought her injuries were serious then! Just like now… Can yo

Victor's POV"Due to the fall your wife endured, since Miss Emelia was only ten weeks along, the severity of this situation was far more dire." The doctor began to explain. "Amniotic ruptures lead to infection, and fetal distress, but in the worst case scenario, they can lead to miscarriage.""M-miscarriage?" My eyes widened as I darted from Emelia, to the paperwork, and to the doctor. "W-what do you mean by that? What are you saying?""Your wife was pregnant. My team and I did everything we could to save that baby, but… we weren't able to save it." Dr. Williams stated.My world stopped at that moment; everything stood in a cold stillness that froze me at my core.The news hit me like a bombshell; the details shredded my heart into a million pieces. When I'd checked Lily into the hospital, I had every intention of confronting Emelia and getting to the bottom of what happened back at the office.This was the last thing that I expected out of this encounter.I could only stand there and

Emelia's POVSeeing the pain reflected in Victor's eyes and feeling it as his hand trembled in mine gave me an odd sense of satisfaction. As heartless as that made me seem, at that moment, I didn't care. At the end of the day, this child was also his. This pain and suffering shouldn't have just been mine to feel. After what he put me through, he needed to feel this, too. He needed to feel the emptiness and sorrow that I did—to understand how his mistreatment of me cost us the life of our child.I just wished it was enough to bring the child back to me. I wanted nothing more than to shower them with the love and affection they deserved. It filled me with even more rage knowing how I'd been robbed of the beauties of motherhood.When I looked up to meet Victor's gaze, I saw a multitude of emotions flicker through the blue eyes I once loved. Pain. Sadness. Anger. It was the most emotion I'd ever seen him display.Suddenly and without warning, Victor paced back towards the wall and punched

Victor's POV"Tell me the truth, Lily. I won't accept anything less." I stood up and faced her. My voice was low, almost to the point that it sounded dangerous.After everything Emelia told me, it was almost too hard to stomach looking at Lily now. It was almost like I wasn't looking at my best friend—but a total stranger."What do you want to know?" Lily's voice trembled slightly, but she was still able to keep relatively calm."You knew Emelia was pregnant, right?""I-I mean, yeah, but—""So why did you lie to me? Why did you tell me it was her who pushed you down the stairs?" I interrupted her, not wanting to hear her excuses.Lily was hesitant then, but not for too long where it'd piss me off even more. "I mean, I didn't know for long—""DON'T BULLSHIT ME!"She flinched away. "I-I swear! I just found out! Same as you... I had my suspicions because of how emotional—""Watch. Your. Mouth." I snarled."I-I mean s-she'd been so sick, a-and I saw her run into the bathroom to throw up!"

Emelia's POVEven with my eyes closed, all I could see ahead was a long road of pain and misery. While the events only recently occurred, the grief of losing my child made it feel like years had gone by.I wasn't even sure that there was a light at the end of this long, dark tunnel.The only kind of warmth and comfort that I had left was my best friend, Alexis. She sat next to me as she traced soft circles on the back of my hand."Thank you," I finally managed to say after a long stretch of silence had grown between us. "For everything.""There's nothing you need to thank me for. I told you I was going to be here with you every step of the way. I just wish that this wasn't one of the steps that we had to take…""I… I don't know how I'm going to get through this.""You don't have to know right now." Alexis's tone was soft and reassuring. "Let your heart feel what it needs to, then we'll take it from there."I nodded my head and closed my eyes again. I truly had no idea what I would've d

Emelia's POV"Oh, come on, Em! Don't look at me like that." Alexis laughed. "You can't say that that isn't a good idea!"Actually, the idea was crazy! Mason said he was working for the LuxeLionness Vault, and they're THE biggest competing company against Victor's.At this point, it wasn't about Victor's feelings either. I didn't care about that. What I did care about was making the right choice.The LuxeLioness Vault was an extremely difficult company to join, and I still needed time to recover and think things over… Besides, could I really trust joining THE rival company?Still, Alexis was right—I had to think about finding another company to work for. I definitely didn't want to work for Victor, much less see him. I just wanted to cut all ties with him as quickly as I could.Maybe this could give me the opportunity to finally move on and focus on myself and my career."Well, I think it's a good idea." Mason chimed in. "I think you'd fit right in with the LuxeLioness Vault, Emelia."I

After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness Chapter 101 — A Pillar of Support
Emelia's POV"Italy?" Alexis stared at me blankly for a few seconds. Then, the interrogation started. "Wait, wait—you're going overseas? When? Soon? Tomorrow? Because of what's happening with Victor? Why did she invite you to Italy?"I spent the next hour explaining everything that happened. It was then that I realized that I never even told her about what happened with the whole plagiarism scandal.The conversation was heavy and charged. I had to relive the embarrassment of the whole paparazzi ganging up on me, being put on blast on television, and having my whole career scrutinized.Not to mention Lily trying to attack me, her whole pregnancy scare, and now her engagement to Victor.Alexis stared at me for a few minutes as my words and heart finally decided to settle. Different emotions flashed through her eyes, as she tried to make sense of everything I'd dumped onto her.After a few tense minutes, she finally spoke up. "So, all of this is to say that you're the one leaving this tim
After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness Chapter 100 — A Made Decision
Emelia's POVIt was another day of sitting idly by my window and staring at photos of potential properties in Italy; from seaside condos, to lovely villas in the countryside. Over the past few days, I hadn't gotten any closer to making a decision on Lady Ruby's offer.It was on my mind constantly.But I was still caught up in the sentimentality of this place, despite wanting so badly to start fresh. This was a dream offer—a once in a lifetime opportunity. Even though I knew it'd be a stupid decision to turn down something like this, there was something in my heart that was anchoring me to this place.This place that caused me so much pain…I sighed and closed my laptop. My mind was still a muddied mess, especially after my encounter with Victor from a few days ago.Which I hadn't stopped thinking about, unfortunately. For whatever reason, my sleeping consciousness seemed to mirror Victor's hopefulness.But there was one thing I was still caught up on."I wish it was as simple as letti
After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness Chapter 99 — Against My Will
Victor's POV"I did it for your own good" My mother cried. "You weren't taking things seriously, so I had to put my foot down! You made a promise to take care of Lily through it all—how is this any different, huh?"To take my promise from all those years ago and to weaponize it against my autonomy and free-will almost sent me over the edge.I thought I was numb from all the frustrations and grief of the divorce and losing my child with Emelia… But damn if this betrayal from my mother didn't slice me open again and leave another wound for me to tend later.How could she do this to me? Were parents not supposed to look out in the best interest of their child? Could she not see how selfish she was in only considering Lily's feelings?As those thoughts came to my mind, it hit me then.Everything that was happening to me, I'd done to Emelia. All the betrayal and the hurt I was experiencing, she'd experienced at my hands.That revelation nearly broke me in two.How the hell could I have bee
After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness Chapter 98 — The String Puller
Victor's POVLily started the rumor.She was the one that LIED to the world about me being her fiancé.She betrayed me.Why? Why was she doing this? We never agreed to this!It didn't matter how I felt for her in the past; if I wanted to marry her, I would've asked!As those thoughts materialized in my mind, a lightbulb in my head went off. It was like I'd reached a realization of something that should've been so obvious.Lily wasn't the woman I wanted to marry. As much as I cared for her, and would do anything for her, she wasn't the one who I made my promises to.The thought of promising my life to someone else… Something about it made my heart ache, like someone was squeezing it with all their might.What was this feeling? Why was it so overwhelming?I shook the thoughts away, knowing that if I dwelled too long, I would've suffocated under its weight."Victor!" Rosalie's voice finally cut through the deep fog that was still clouding my mind."I'm sorry, I'm sorry…" I took a sharp in
After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness Chapter 97 — Behind the Rumors
Victor's POV"What the hell is this?!" My voice boomed within the workspace. The speculating whispers and chitter chatter halted, and everything and everyone froze. "Is this some kind of joke?!"My gaze burned into the eyes of those who dared to meet mine. No one had an answer; many of them looked away under the weight of my fury. They were all quiet, and perhaps they truly had no idea what this was supposed to be. But I didn't care. I wasn't looking to spare anyone with how much of a horrible mood I'd been in for the past few days—hell, more like a little over a month at this point.My heart was torn to pieces with the loss of my child and the divorce.I didn't want to remarry!I didn't want to claim a child I had no recollection of even conceiving!No one was taking my thoughts and feelings into consideration, which pissed me off even more! I'm considered one of the wealthiest CEOs in this region. So why in the hell was I being coerced into doing things I didn't want to do?No one i
After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness Chapter 96 — Unexpected Engagement
Victor's POVFor the last three days, I'd banished myself from my home and lived within the confines of my office. It made me grateful that I took the contractor's consideration into renovating a small, bachelor's penthouse in the space above my office when he'd offered it.It seemed like he knew a thing or two about needing to escape one's house from time to time.Over the course of those few days of respite, I hadn't responded to a single message my mother or Lily sent me. A part of me knew it was unfair to treat them like this, but I truly couldn't bring myself to care.My mind and heart were caught up in a storm, and I couldn't see a way to save myself from the damage it was inflicting. There was no making a rational decision when there was only one thing—one person—I could think about.And she wanted nothing to do with me.To prevent myself and my mind from spiraling again, I decided to drown myself in as much work as I could. Especially since there were still matters of the plagi
After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness Chapter 95 — Thoughts of Her
Victor's POVThe full moon hung high and bright in the night sky tonight, but not even its soft light could penetrate the darkness in my mind. I took another swig of alcohol, hoping its bitterness would distract me from my thoughts, but even that was a useless attempt. Ever since Emelia told me to leave, I’d been clinging on to the way her voice sounded; to the image of her brown hair falling in waves past her shoulders; and how the scent of her vanilla-strawberry fragrance lingered onto my clothing when she’d grabbed me by the collar. She may have sent me away, but I wanted nothing more than to see her again, and to hear her voice. I even toyed with the idea of showing up at her doorstep on my knees. But what could I possibly say to her now? What more could I do to convince her to let me back in, even if it was just for a little while? I’d secluded myself in my room for the last few hours after my mother had been relentlessly pestering me about marriage. It was all she ever spoke
After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness Chapter 94 — A Dream Offer
Emelia's POV"I'll call you back later, okay?" I spoke in a rushed tone. As much as I didn't want to end this conversation between Alexis and I, I needed to see what Lady Ruby had to say. Especially after everything that happened."Okay, but don't keep me in suspense for too long!""Trust me; the cliffhanger will be worth the wait!"I hung up on Alexis and immediately picked up Lady Ruby's call."I'm sorry," I said almost immediately. "I was on the phone with a friend of mine. I hope I didn't keep you waiting for too long."No, not at all. Is now not a good time?""I'm free to talk!" I said a little too quickly. "Is everything okay?"There was a moment of hesitation before Lady Ruby spoke up again. "I know it's rather late, but are you free right now? I feel as though this is something we may need to discuss in person."Something about that statement made me feel uneasy, but I knew it had to be something of importance if she was asking to see me so late. I looked up at the clock and sa
After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness Chapter 93 — Catching Up
Emelia's POVMy encounter with Victor was exhausting; the weight of the words spoken weighing down my shoulders like a boulder. As soon as my head hit the pillow, sleep claimed me just as fast.If I wasn't reliving the nightmare of losing my child, then I wasn't dreaming. Oftentimes, I found relief in the black of nothingness.But this dream was still nothing short of a nightmare. Just in the way I wasn't expecting.It took me back to the days before Lily came back into the picture—when Victor and I were happy.Stolen kisses in the breakroom when no one else was around.Late dinners if one of us ended up staying late for work.Doing chores in our underwear, dancing to whatever music was playing.Sunbathing under the summer sun at our beach house.It was a nightmare of what used to be; of what could've been had Lily not come back and ruined things. It broke my heart even more to think about how Victor wasn't happy during any of it.I watched the memories unfold before me like it was a m
