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 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

    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

"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.

    Emelia’s POVI was totally confused when my best friend, Alexis, texted me and said that she saw my husband and I at a restaurant.Because I was at home currently. On the sofa. In a robe with a mask on my face.And my husband, Victor, was supposed to be at work. At least, that was what he texted me a few hours ago.Ding!Alexis: I see you and Victor in the restaurant :P You two are just the sweetest couple! Me: Um, you might wanna get your eyes checked, bestie. :P I'm at home right now!I sat my phone down and laid back against the sofa while I let my face mask settle. But my phone kept buzzing anyway.Ding! Ding!Alexis: I know what Victor looks like! But if that woman turning the back on me isn't you… there might be some trouble!Alexis: OMG!! Listen to this NOW!!Ding! It was an audio message. That made me sit up on the sofa immediately. I pressed play without hesitation."Oh, Victor, I know you still think of me.” The unknown woman's voice chimed in.“I have always been thinking

    Emelia’s POVShock hijacked my nerves as I sat there in disbelief. Victor had never lied to me before, and now all of a sudden he was?He'd never hung up on me like this before either! What was going on?It was genuinely starting to worry me with how Victor was behaving. Was everything truly okay with him? I stayed up all night as my mind ran rampant. I stressed cleaning our closet and organized every article of clothing to try and settle down, but it didn't work. It wasn't until close to midnight that Victor finally came home."Hey, I'm surprised to see you're awake." Victor hung up his coat and came to sit next to me. "Is everything alright?""I should be asking you that question. What happened earlier tonight? I was trying to call you and ask you when you'd be home and you just hung up on me."Victor took out his phone from his pocket and handed it to me. "I didn't realize that my phone was on low battery and it died."I thought about holding the power button to see if he was lyin

    Emelia’s POVI stood in disbelief as Victor rushed to Lily's side. It had to have been her—his changed behavior for her matched his changed behavior for the woman from last night!Not only had he lied to me about who he was with the other night, but he completely canceled plans with his grandfather for her.What was really going on between them? Why couldn't he just tell me the truth from the start?"Lily! Is everything okay?" Victor asked, his voice laced with worry. "I got here just as soon as I could.""Everything's fine now that you're here." Lily's smile was fragile. “I was too scared, I thought I wouldn’t see you again…” her voice trembled.“I'm here with you now, and that's all that matters.” Victor held her hand tightly. “Are you alright? Are you sick? What happened?”“Hey, I'm not a kid anymore! You don't need to worry too much.” She turned into laughter."Of course I'm going to worry about you!" Victor smiled then. "I'm always going to worry when it comes to you. I swear, y

    Emelia’s POV"What? I didn't do anything!" I basically yelled."Emelia! Lily's in the hospital, and you're throwing glass at her? What reason could you have to do that? Why would you try to hurt her?" Victor shouted back. His voice was cold towards me, as he held onto Lily's hand."So you're just going to believe her over your own wife?! Just like that? Like you actually think I'd do something so low as to hurt someone in the hospital?!" I fired back.Instead, Victor ignored my words and drew his attention to Lily and the broken glass. I watched as he carefully collected the pieces and threw them away."Are you hurt anywhere? Did the glass get you?" Victor asked softly, giving her hand a light squeeze."No, no. I'm okay now that you're here." Lily's smile was small. "Please don't leave me alone with her again..."Irritation crawled underneath my skin like a bug just by hearing Victor's change in tone as he spoke to Lily. I had to tune out their conversation because I genuinely thought

And I really am sorry, but Mr. Russo made it perfectly clear that this decision was his—you know I can't refute his word."I knew Victor’s words couldn't be swayed by anyone.Still, I could maybe accept someone else getting the promotion, but not Lily. Especially since she only got the position because of her connections, and not because she was qualified.It also didn't help that she and Victor had secrets between them I knew nothing about…"Are you alright? You look a little unwell." Trevor asked."I’m fine, I just need a moment." I responded. "Do you mind if I go back to my office?""Of course, I know it's a lot to take in." Trevor looked at me with concern. "But don't be too upset, okay? Stuff like this happens all the time. After all, she’s the CEO’s friend. It's normal for some people to have

    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

    Emelia's POVVictor fell silent; the space between us grew thicker and heavier with the weight of the words he wouldn't speak. His silence stretched for a long time. Too long.Dread and despair settled at the pit of my stomach, swirling into something horrible. Because in this silence, I was able to recognize this for what it was—an admission.Victor knew that if he physically had to say those words out loud, then everything he said to me was just dust on the wind. All the sentiments of him caring; his sadness; his regret—it would've truly meant nothing if he admitted to being the father of Lily's child.But he didn't need to say it. I already knew.Rage and sorrow blanketed my mind like a darkness. There was no light holy or divine enough to penetrate rational thoughts. My heart quickened as it pounded against my chest like a wild animal. Blood coursed through my veins and boiled beneath my skin.I was determined to show this man the hell he dragged me down to.Without thinking, I lu

    Emelia's POVI sat in my car for what felt like hours. In reality, it probably hadn't been any more than a minute. My face was hot from anger, and my heart heavy from the earlier fiasco."My baby!" Lily screamed."I got you!" Victor spoke heroically.I would've thrown up in my car if I had a spare plastic bag… But I knew there was no use in staying here. Whether I liked it or not, I had to face him.Or maybe bolt for the house and slam the door in his face…When I exited my car, I walked slowly and cautiously like I was navigating a minefield. One wrong step towards him, and I'd be subjected to his horrible excuses and weak apologies.As it would seem, however, the whole damn driveway was filled with mines."Emelia…" Victor straightened his back even as I tried to give him a wide berth. "Are you okay?"As usual, anything that came out of his mouth immediately set me off. "Why the hell do you care?" My nostrils flared. "Don't you have a new baby to worry about?!"Victor flinched at my w

    Emelia's POV"Emelia, are you okay?"The sound of Mason's voice had been drowned out by the sound of my heart dropping to the floor. I shouldn't have been feeling this—this sadness, this disappointment, this anger.We were divorced!What did it matter what Victor was doing with Lily? Why did it matter that Lily was pregnant with his child?But then it hit me…I'd lost my child; lost my ability to become a mother because of Lily. Despite her malice and manipulations, he chose to reward her with the most precious gift of them all.A life. A baby.She of all people didn't deserve to cradle a child; to know its love, its warmth, and to be there for its firsts."Emelia?"This time, Mason's voice pulled me from my inner thoughts. I needed to not be stuck in my own head. It was too easy to get that way, and I had other things I needed to focus on.I shook my head and looked up into Mason's eyes. "S-sorry. I'm okay now, thank you."Mason gave me a wary look, but relinquished his hold from arou

    Emelia's POV"You're such a conniving bitch!" Lily screeched as she took angry steps towards me. "How can you be so hell-bent on ruining my life?!"Mason stepped in front of me, acting as my shield. "Watch your mouth, Miss Lily." His tone was cold and had an edge to it I hadn't heard before. "Don't think I'll let you get away with disrespecting Emelia as you've done before. I won't be as forgiving."That just made Lily even angrier as her expression mirrored that of a feral animal ready to pounce on her prey. A baffled laugh escaped her lips for just a moment before her eyes locked on me."First Victor, and now him? Just how many men do you have wrapped around your finger, huh? Have you no shame? How long has that been going on?" Lily motioned between the two of us.I stepped out from Mason's protective stance between Lily and I and approached her myself. "You've got a lot of damn nerve to accuse me of anything!""You want to talk about me being conniving after everything you've done?!
