Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 64
Emily’s initial destination was Giovanni’s office and without hesitation, she began her little trip to his familiar office. It was getting late already so in order to get there as quickly as possible, she skipped the bus and took a cab instead. It was a familiar landmark in the city and a reasonable distance from her place, Emily getting to the office in less than thirty minutes. As quickly as she could, she paid the cab fare and rushed out, immediately welcomed by the familiar huge building that could pass as a skyscraper. She raised her head to give the building a quick look, immediately noticing how different it looked. It was dark, the few lightening coming from the signage and other buildings around. There didn’t seem to be any office open or any lights coming from inside the building, immediately worrying her. Refusing to give up, she shook her head and resumed her steps towards the main entrance. It might have been a bit too late for regular staffs to still be present but

“Emily? Emily? Emily, can you hear me?!” “Huh?” Emily almost jumped, immediately realizing how lost in thoughts she was. “What did you say?” “I was talking to you. And for heavens sake, I’ve been talking to you for minutes now. Have you even been listening to me?” She couldn’t deny, she was barely listening to him. Not just him, she felt distant, barely in grasp of reality. The shock she had experienced the previous night still lingered around her, making it hard for to shove it behind her and move on. She had spent the entire night thinking about what suddenly came over Giovanni and when morning came, her thoughts refused to give her a break, making up dozens of scenarios to justify his actions. Yet, none of them were able to actually justify his behavior or make it make sense to her. “Emily Stark Grace!” “Christ, did you say something?” Tyler’s loud voice resonated in her ear, pulling her back to reality one more time. “What did you say? Sorry, I didn’t get that.” “Of cours

“Emily, you look beautiful.” Emily stared at herself in the mirror, unsure if those words coming from her parents were a compliment or just them trying to make her situation more palatable. “Um, thanks,” she muttered and spared them glances, checking herself out all over again. To be fair, the dress was pretty but did she feel as pretty? Not really. “When does the ceremony start?” “In about fifteen minutes,” her mum replied. “Giovanni’s father should be around already.” “And Giovanni?” “He should be too,” her mum added. “I mean, all of the guests are present so he should be present already too. Or at most, on his way.” “Alright,” Emily nodded and continued to stare at herself in the mirror. It was her wedding day. In less than fifteen minutes, she was going to become a married woman. The wife to Billionaire Giovanni Rueben. The wife to a man that considered her no different from a stranger. “Emily, everything is okay, right?” Her dad spoke up, placing a hand on his daughter’
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 67
An entire hour passed by and Giovanni was still nowhere to be found. The entire hall had been thrown into chaos, whispers and murmurs now converted into full blown conversations and arguments. After all, it was going to be the second time Giovanni Rueben was getting married with a lot of drama. The first time, his bride had gone missing and now, he had gone missing himself. Emily was close to loosing her mind, unable to process what was happening. He was just being late, right? August had tried to console her that he was just being late. But even August was also suddenly nowhere to be found after leaving to search for him. As minutes passed, the parents looked just as confused, watching the drama unfold in front of them. Emily’s parents stared in horror, their future uncertain but on the other hand, Giovanni’s father was visibly fuming, boiling with anger. Without the need to be told, Tyler had rushed to Emily’s side, trying his best to offer whatever comfort he could. But it wa

Anger seethed through Albert as he walked out of the wedding hall and got into his car, his chauffeur and assistant immediately knowing what to do next. He had so many emotions running through him- disappointment, embarrassment, confusion and most of all anger. And he knew all of those raging emotions were only to go subside when he saw his son and had a good conversation with him. No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t understand Giovanni. Though he had never been a fan of his wedding, it was completely unlike him to not show up. He knew the efforts put into it, the money spent on the wedding, the weeks of planning, the elite list of guests they had to invite- he knew it all too well than to just toss it all in the trash can. But apparently, Giovanni had suddenly acted out of his principles but being completely unreasonable and illogical for the first time. What was even more confusing to Albert was how Giovanni showed up for the wedding the first time when he was getting

The ride back to his place was quiet, Giovanni’s gaze fixed on the road and steering wheel the entire time. He had dozens of emotions flooding him when all he wanted to do was feel numb. He didn’t want to feel guilty or terrible. He wanted to return to his normal life knowing he had done the right thing. But his emotions kept on betraying him, refusing to spare him even a moment of peace. And for what reason? Simply because he had canceled his own wedding. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel and continued driving. Few hours ago he had contemplated driving over to the wedding hall and then voluntarily walk down the isle and get married. But all it took for him to be pulled back to his senses were the staff of the boutique he went to get his suit from chattering on and on about a couple that got married and few months later, got a divorce. It served as more than enough reason for him to be reminded of why he never wanted to get married in the first place. Enough reminder of w

It was the third time Tyler threw a punch in just one night. And unfortunately, August just had to be his third and final victim. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?!” The kiss took him by complete surprise and by instinct, the first thing he could think of doing was push August away. Then the moment their eyes met again and he realized August had made him kiss a man again, he threw a punch straight at him, almost breaking his nose. “Oh my God,” August’s exclaim didn’t come from the pain of the punch but of the realization of what he had just done. “Oh my God, Tyler. I am so sorry I didn’t mean to-“ “Save it,” he cut him off with a hiss. “I don’t want to hear it. There’s no difference between you and Giovanni. You’re both disgusting people who think you can do whatever you like and get away with it simply because you’re privileged.” “Tyler I-“ “Don’t you fucking dare,” he cut him off. “I was the fool for thinking you were different even for a second.“ He shot him a glar

“Dad, get up.” “Dad, wake up.” “Dad, are you okay?” “Hello, is this 911? My dad isn’t waking up. He has a bottle of next to him and- I think painkillers. No, the pack is empty. I don’t know. He has been in his room all day.” “Dad, are you okay? Dad, wake up. You’re scaring me, dad. Please-“ “Dad!” Giovanni literally flew up from the couch he had managed to fall asleep in, drenched in a pool of his own sweat. His breathing was heavy, his heart racing so quickly it threatened to jump out of his chest. It was the first time in so long he was having a nightmare. One featuring memories of his parents’ divorce. Feeling his head ache, he managed to sit up, immediately looking around him. The house was still as empty as ever after August stormed out. It was nothing new to him but suddenly, it felt emptier. It wasn’t as quiet though, the voices he heard in his nightmare echoing in his head. He could hear the voice of his younger version, calling out to his dad on a useless attempt t

Several months later… “And that’s a wrap for today.” August raised his head over his macbook to take a glance at Giovanni, genuinely amused as those words escaped his lips. Months ago, he was the boss that didn’t care about things like a stated closing hour. He worked till whenever he pleased and only left the office when it was beginning to feel too late to be in the office. But now, he was a completely different person- he never spent a minute past 4pm working. “Alright sir.” “Yes, sir.” “Thank you for today, sir.” The sounds of papers shuffling filled the air, followed by the scraping of chairs as staffs rose to their feet, hitting the floor with their heels as they rushed out of the meeting room. In no time, the room was left empty to no one but August and Giovanni, preparing to do the same. Except Giovanni was more nervous than August could ever be. “You leaving work by exactly 4pm would never cease to amaze me,” August had to comment. “I guess love really does change

“Are you sure you want to do this?” Giovanni watched August loosen his tie as he nodded, seeming convinced on the decision he was about to take. After what seemed like an eternity, they were both done with work for the day and naturally, were supposed to head home. But August had decided he wanted to visit a bar and of course, drag Giovanni with him. A sigh escaped Giovanni’s lips as he watched his best friend finally free himself from the clutches of his tie, dancing a little as he shoved the little piece of clothing down his pocket. Though he wasn’t sure what exactly he was expecting when he called Tyler several hours, he was sure that wasn’t it. “Yes,” August nodded, flinging his arm across Giovanni’s shoulders, earning a shudder from him. “I’m just going to drink a little then head home.” “A little?” it was hard to believe he wasn’t drunk already the way his words drawled. “August, you intended to drink just a little yesterday?” “That was yesterday,” he waved his fingers in
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 98
August woke up with a headache, serving as a dreadful reminder of how the previous night went. Dozens of bottles of wine, hundreds of honesty laced words. And of all the audience to have accompanying his foolishness, it just had to be Giovanni. “Fuck,” he groaned, reaching for his phone. He could remember Giovanni driving him home after he drank himself to stupor but that was all. He couldn’t remember anything else- like how he had gotten into his bed or how he had gotten his phone next to him. “Shit, what’s the time?” He swiped his phone unlock to check the time but literally immediately, his eyes caught something else. It was his call log. And sitting prettily at the top was a missed call from Tyler. It was more than enough to cure his hangover, his eyes immediately widening. A missed call from Tyler? How did that happen? When did that happen? Why did that happen? For the hundredth time, he let out a groan, realizing he still had no memory of what happened the previous night

“You think you have a crush on August?” Tyler took in a deep breath, sitting up as the words finally escaped from the clutches of his throat. After weeks and weeks of denial, he had finally decided to come clean to himself. And finally, his best friend too. “Yes,” he nodded, his heart racing in his chest. “I think I have a crush on him.” Emily’s expression was unreadable for a while, wavering between shock and confusion. She always knew there was something fishy going on between him and August. She knew there was more to their relationship than he was admitting but couldn’t frankly figure out Tyler having a crush on him. “Are you surprised?” Tyler swallowed as he asked. “Disappointed? Dis-” “No, no,” Emily quickly interrupted him. “It’s nothing like that. Shocked? Yes, I am, a little. But disappointed? I’m not ‘dis’ anything.” “Oh,” he broke into an awkward chuckle, his chest feeling a lot lighter. “Well, yeah. I know you’re probably wondering how it all happened but I guess,
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 96
Emily feet remained glued to the ground, shock flooding her veins. Not just shock though- she had a couple of other emotions running through her. Anger, deceit, betrayal- to a name a few. Her sister was fine? Stacy was fine all along? She was just hiding from her and making a total fool out of her with the consent of both her parents? All along, her disappearance was just an act put in place by her and her parents because she didn’t want to get married to Giovanni? She didn’t want to believe her ears but with every second that passed, the brutal truth was slapped onto her face all over again. It was slowly making sense and finally, the anger in her grew and overpowered every other emotion she felt. Without hesitating for even a second, she balled her fist and immediately pushed the door to her parents’ room open, revealing herself to them. “Alright dear. We’ll call you some other time to- Oh my God, Emily.” Her face grew cold as she stared at them, watching her mum immediately

Their ride to Giovanni’s had only lasted a couple of minutes when his phone vibrated by his side, signifying a text message. Busy with driving, he immediately asked Emily to check what it was on his behalf, the duo immediately realizing August needed Giovanni’s presence for something urgent. Needless to guess, something work related. “I could cancel,” Giovanni suggested, noticing the disappointed look on Emily’s face. “Tell him I’m busy or something. I don’t have to-” “No,” she shook her head, refusing his offer. “You don’t have to.” “But-” “It’s probably important,” she flashed him a weak smile. “And come on, you’ve been away from work for a while so it’s probably really urgent. You should go. I’ll be fine.” “Alright then,” he nodded in return. “But I’ll drive you home first. Do not even try to object to that. I’m driving you home.” Already disappointed at their time together getting cut short abruptly, Emily had no intention of wasting the few moments they could spend togethe

Giovanni: I'm outside.A text from Giovanni had never given Emily that much joy. And without wasting a single second, she grabbed her bag and dashed out of the classroom, heading to the parking lot to meet the man responsible for her bundle of joy.Her temporary goodbye to Tyler was quick. And thanks to her all sense of reasoning being overshadowed by her happiness, she couldn't notice how absentminded Tyler was as he mumbled out a reply.But that didn't matter. Not at the moment.In a flash, she found herself at the parking lot, her head shot up as her eyes roamed around excitedly. In barely a minute of searching, she found him waving at her and eagerly rushed towards him."Hi.""Hi."Awkwardness threatened to settle between them, Emily quickly fighting back by breaking into a light chuckle. Followed by a blush creeping towards her cheeks as he remembered everything that transpired between them twenty-four hours ago."Hev.""So how was your test?" Giovanni asked. "Did it go well?""
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 93
With head hung low, Tyler managed to drag himself back to class. Darn that test he needed to write. Scrap his grade that needed to be saved- all he just wanted to do was head back home and get busy with anything that was going to prevent him from thinking. But he had no choice, hence had to be in class whether he wanted to or not. “Tyler!” The second he stepped into class again, he heard Emily call out his name. “Here.” He looked around him and realizing the professor was still yet to arrive, he walked towards her with a sluggish nod and returned to his previous seat. “Who did you head out to meet?” She asked immediately without wasting a single second. “Who was it? What was so urgent?” “Nothing,” he looked away. “It was nothing.” “You went to meet someone,” she insisted. “Who was it?” “I didn’t meet anyone.” “Was it a girl? Ah, is it a girl? Is there a girl you’re hitting on?” “No, it’s wasn’t a girl!” “I thought you said you didn’t meet anyone,” a full smirk appeared on
Emily, Mr. Billionaire. Chapter 92
Tyler got on his toes and as quietly as he could, he picked up his clothes from floor and threw them on. August was still asleep and he couldn’t be more glad for that. It was the perfect opportunity for him to sneak out of the house without waking him up and in the process, starting unnecessary drama. Just like he did the previous night, he had a lot of emotions running through his veins. Confusion, nervousness, anxiety- the list could go on. But at least, one thing he was glad he wasn’t feeling was regret. Regret for sleeping with August. He spared his sleepy self a quick glanced and sighed, immediately getting the last bits of his things. All ready to leave, he walked out of the room and in no time, was successfully out of the house. “Crap.” He had classes in the morning and a test in the afternoon. He didn’t feel particularly great about himself though, making him contemplate ditching both of them. But he immediately remembered he couldn’t. It was a major test and unless he wa
