An Affair with the Billionaire Chapter 179
Alaric suddenly realized something—if the person had really been taken by Ethan, there was no way Ethan would be sitting here drinking."If it wasn’t you, then who was it?" Alaric let go of Ethan.No matter the motive or evidence, no one should have even known that Emerald was staying here."What happened to Emerald?" Ethan took a sip of wine, sobering up instantly.Alaric had a gut feeling—whether Ethan had done it or not, he was definitely involved in some way.He briefly explained the situation, then asked coldly, "Did you tell anyone where Teacher Greene was?""I didn’t. I was—"Ethan's voice suddenly faltered. "There is one person who might know.""Who?""Ariza.""I was drunk last night. She called me… I think I might have said something, but I don’t remember exactly what."Alaric immediately went looking for Ariza, only to find out that she had left the apartment early in the morning—with her suitcase.The place was completely empty.Alaric had always assumed that Ethan was the

His grip on reality slowly returned.Maximo rushed to the accident site. Inside the car, there was an eerie silence. Alaric sat motionless, uncharacteristically quiet.The streetlights flickered past, casting brief flashes of light onto his hands and chest.His face remained in the shadows, his eyes cold and piercing—like death itself had arrived.Then, the silence shattered.The phone rang.Greg answered immediately. "Hello, Officer. Do you have any updates on the salvage operation?"He was driving with the speakerphone on, and his voice came clearly through the car: "The car salvage operation is tough, so it won’t be quick, but our divers found a body in the car."Boom!Alaric's face turned pale, and the veins on the back of his hands tightened. Before he could react, Officer continued, "It's an adult male, around 32-35 years old, about 187 cm tall. The cause of death wasn't drowning, but a chest injury."When he heard it was a male body, Alaric's expression softened."Did she find

When he found her, she was holding a fox cub in her hands, and not far off, a bleeding eagle lay on the ground.To his shock, she had knocked the eagle down with a stone, revealing a side to her that no one had expected—this delicate little girl, barely six years old, had somehow summoned the strength to do that.When she looked at him, an evil grin spread across her face. "Hey, little brat, you're here."Griffin was taken aback by the nickname. "You..."Emerald tossed the little fox into his arms and shrugged nonchalantly. "Just call me little fox."Griffin felt a strange unease as he watched Emerald, but the next day, she was back to her usual self, so he didn't dwell on it.Now, the woman moving around the room bore a striking resemblance to the child she once was."You..." Griffin hesitated, unsure of what to say.Emerald took the initiative, gulping down some water with a look of mild disgust. "Is this really all you have? Are you sure this can quench thirst?""Then what do you w

"I know I can’t beat you," she said, "but don’t you love her so much? If I start cutting her body with this knife, do you think that will hurt her? Hmm?"Alaric froze, his mind racing. He had never witnessed Emerald's second personality before, and this version of her was unrecognizable.The face was the same, but the way she carried herself, the way she spoke—it was all so different.His instinct was to stop her, and he reached out quickly. "I won’t hurt you, just stop."Emerald’s lips curled into a smirk. "Good choice," she said, her voice dripping with a dangerous sweetness.She took a step closer and gently hooked his chin with her finger. "If you were a little whiter, younger, smaller, you might fit my taste a bit more."Her words were playful, but there was something dark beneath them. She was like a fox, sly and irresistible.In the past, even in intimate moments, there had been an innocence to Emerald, a purity that Alaric had cherished. But now? Now all that was left was pure

The two men gritted their teeth, forcing themselves to their feet. Limping forward like zombies closing in on their prey, they rushed toward Emerald.But before they could even get close—bam!—one swift kick sent them flying backward.How could someone with such a slender frame possess that kind of raw power?Without missing a beat, Emerald grabbed Yngrid by the scruff of her neck and shoved her toward the motorcycle. She smirked."Get on. Don’t make me do it myself."Just then, a small, trembling voice cut through the tension."Mommy!"A child’s nervous cry.Aiden had just climbed out of the nanny’s car and was running straight toward them.Emerald froze for a moment. Then, realization dawned.Her lips curled in disgust. "Aiden… Alaric… you people are absolutely repulsive."Aiden, the kid who had haunted her dreams for so long, was now standing right in front of her. And the woman in black—the one next to him—was someone he never expected to see again.Emerald.The person he hadn’t se

Emerald gripped her hair and yanked her head up like he was holding a football.Seeing Alaric approaching, Yngrid's eyes filled with tears, her expression pitiful. "Alaric! She’s trying to drown me—please, help me!"Emerald didn’t react with jealousy to her pathetic plea. Instead, he raised an eyebrow and smirked at Alaric. "What’s this? Feeling sorry for her?"Alaric stopped beside them, his voice calm. "Teacher Greene, have you cooled off yet?""No," Emerald said flatly. "I nearly drowned in this sea yesterday. Do you think it’s that easy?"Yngrid had expected Alaric to step in and stop the madness, so when he didn’t, her voice grew even more aggrieved. "Alaric, after all these years of friendship—"Before she could finish, Alaric shoved her back into the water.Then, turning to Emerald with a soft gaze, he asked, "What do you need to calm down? Tell me, and I’ll help you."His eyes, warm and steady like sunlight, fixed on Emerald. The contrast was striking—Emerald’s second personal

He slammed the brakes at an observation deck. The motorcycle skidded to a halt, the tires grinding against the pavement.Behind them, Yngrid was nothing more than a crumpled heap on the ground, her body still, her face pale. She had fainted somewhere along the way, her once-arrogant presence reduced to a pitiful sight.Emerald barely spared her a glance.Instead, she tilted her head and smirked at Alaric. “What? This is so exciting—”Before she could finish, he grabbed her by the waist and crashed his lips onto hers.It was a raw, desperate kiss—hungry, claiming. The salty sea breeze wrapped around them as he pushed her back against the motorcycle, pressing into her.Her body arched slightly at the force of it, but she wasn’t the type to simply surrender.She bit down on his tongue—hard.Alaric pulled back with a sharp inhale, tasting the faint tang of blood.Emerald licked her lips, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Are you a dog? You’re just chewing on me like a bone.”He grinned,

That evening, Alaric stayed by her side, casually mentioning the other personality now and then as the sky darkened.They sat on the beach, the rhythmic crashing of waves filling the silence. Emerald leaned her head against his shoulder, listening."Hey," she murmured. "Why don’t you ask her?"Alaric wrapped an arm around her, pulling her closer. "Because to me, you two are one person. No one is perfect. But together, both sides of you create something whole—something beautifully complete, like the moon."Emerald shifted, straddling him. The wind tangled in her hair, her eyes gleaming with mischief."Liar."Alaric smirked, catching her hand and pressing it to his chest. "Want me to take it out and prove it to you?"She scoffed, tilting her head. "How did I end up in your hands, you bastard?"But then, cupping his face between her palms, she softened, a playful smile tugging at her lips. "Not that I mind."The sea breeze carried their laughter as their lips met in a breathless, dizzyin

Alaric had gone to the board meeting alone, carrying a thick stack of documents—evidence that exposed the darkest secrets of the board members and their immediate families.He had uncovered their weaknesses, how they had used their own sons as pawns, stepping over the bodies of fallen heirs to seize power.And once he had leverage over them, resistance was no longer an option.The Santos family and Yngrid had severed all ties, and Yngrid—gravely injured—had been sent abroad, never to return to the country again.As for Emerald, she resigned from SN but kept her professional standing.

Alaric knelt down on one knee, his gaze steady and filled with emotion.“I know this might seem a bit rushed and old-fashioned, but Teacher Greene… I just can’t wait any longer. Will you marry me?”A grand, elaborate proposal could always be arranged later. But at this moment, he just wanted her to be his, officially and forever.Before the weight of his words could fully settle, Iris and the others burst out from behind the trees, setting off fireworks and cheering.“Say yes! Say yes!”The atmosphere was just about to reach its peak—until Emerald, completely unfazed, answered in the calmest tone imaginable.“Okay.”Silence.Iris’s jaw nearly hit the ground. “Huh?! That’s it?! No, no, no, you should at least let Mr. Corrigan say a few more words of confession! I’ve been waiting for this moment for half a month!”But before she could protest further, Emerald had already slipped the ring onto her finger and helped Alaric to his feet.“We’ve already said everything that matters in bed,”

Spring felt endless, and the night was filled with tenderness.When Emerald woke up, a dull ache spread through her waist and back. Last night had been... wild. But more importantly, neither of them had thought about being careful. Maybe it was impulse, maybe it was something deeper.After coming so close to losing everything, Emerald's perspective had shifted.She and Alaric were on the same page—no more regrets, no second-guessing.As she stirred awake, she found him already looking at her, his gaze soft and full of warmth."Are you busy today?" he asked."No matter how busy I am, nothing’s more important than being with you," she murmured.Alaric pulled her into his arms, his voice low. "Teacher Greene, thank you for coming back to me."Emerald wrapped her arms around his waist and smiled. "Mr. Corrigan, it’s my honor to stay by your side."A thought crossed his mind, and he hesitated before speaking. "We didn’t use any protection last night. If you want, I can get you something to

Emerald blinked in surprise. When Alaric pulled back the curtain, she saw that the boat’s hull had been modified—a 1.5-meter-long bed now sat nestled inside, layered with plush pillows and a soft mattress."Aric, you..."Before she could finish, Alaric lifted her onto the bed without a word. There was an urgency in his movements tonight.With a swift tug, he unbuttoned his shirt, shrugging it off to reveal his toned waist. Then he knelt on the bed, his body leaning toward her, his eyes dark with emotion."Teacher Greene, last time, I wasn’t satisfied—I didn’t get to sleep with you."His gaze burned with more than just desire—it held something deeper, something raw. The kind of emotion that comes from nearly losing someone you love.Alaric cupped her face in his hands, his voice steady yet filled with unspoken fear."From now on, I don’t want to live with regrets."The moment he heard that Emerald had fallen into the sea, it was as if his soul had been ripped from his body.He had felt
