Forced to Marry the cruel Billionaire Chapter 69
Emma.Today was supposed to be a different day, a day when I would start treatment and bring myself hope that everything would be okay afterward. But now, I am in tears, clinging to my husband and soaking his shirt as he cries with me.I lifted my face, looked at Gregory, and ran my fingers under his tears.“What happened to you, Gregory?” A glimmer of softness shone on his face. There was no longer indifference or arrogance.“I don’t know,” he ran a hand over his eyes and wiped his face, then smiled. “Now that you’re gone, it’s like you left an enormous void in my life.”I felt my heart grow heavy with those words, while a shiver ran through my veins. That wasn’t a bad feeling—Gregory’s revelations truly surprised me. His gaze pierced me, as if I could see the battle happening inside him.“Are you saying you missed me?”“That’s precisely what I’m saying.” He answered quickly, as if, if he didn’t say it at that moment, he never would.I looked into his eyes and tried to see if Gregory

Gregory.I left the room, so I wouldn’t have to give too many explanations to Emma. I could feel that she wanted to prolong the conversation, to ask questions, but I wasn’t ready for that. Not only that, but I was still thinking about the doctor’s last words about Emma.I wasn’t sure about it. I couldn’t deny that I hadn’t disliked the kiss and that, in some way, I wanted a little more of Emma. Upon reaching the doctor, I pushed the thought away and locked myself in the office with him. I would keep lying to myself and running away from Emma for a little longer.“I want to ask you not to tell Emma that she’s going to die,” an arch formed on his old face. “We need to give her hope.”“You want me to lie to my patient?”His face lit up in a bad way, and he let out a smile. That man shouldn’t act like that, not in a serious case like Emma’s.“There are people who care about her and who will suffer from her passing, and one of them is me.” I stepped forward, furious in his direction. “Resp

Edward.The scene of Gregory causing trouble at the company on the day of the board meeting made my blood boil. I ordered security to go after him, but they came back empty-handed. That memory kept coming and going as the meeting went on, and I couldn’t think of anything else except whether Gregory would take Emma to lunch.My initial plan was to have Grandpa’s inheritance in my hands. I knew the old man would die soon, so I returned to my parents’ hometown. That was when I saw Emma.I had hired a private investigator to look into Gregory’s life as soon as I found out he was married. No one in the media knew the woman’s face, and that sparked a giant curiosity in me. When I first saw Emma’s face, I thought Gregory had good taste. She was beautiful, but she didn’t look happy by his side at all.I knew the entire story—at least I believed I did. I knew Gregory needed to have an heir to secure the inheritance. Not only that, but I knew Emma had been trying to get pregnant for years. And

Gregory.My feet automatically carried me in Edward’s direction to get him out of there, and I didn’t see when Emma got up and approached him.“Let him stay,” she said, and my feet froze instantly. It was the loving look Edward gave Emma that made rage consume me.“Emma,” Edward’s sudden gesture of holding Emma’s hand interrupted me. I wanted nothing more than to rip her hand away from his. After everything Edward had done, it was unacceptable for Emma to smile with him around.“If he stays, I stay too,” I declared when she pulled her hand away from Edward. “I am still your husband, and I am here to protect you.”Edward smiled provocatively. Emma closed her eyes and staggered toward the bed, and I rushed to catch her. The vulnerability in her body almost brought me to my knees. I wanted nothing more than to hold and protect her. Before I realized it, Edward had been faster than me, holding her and laying her down on the bed.His action made the blood stop flowing in my veins. Seeing h

Emma.I kept looking at Gregory for a long time, simulating his question and the answer I should give. My throat went dry, and the words simply wouldn’t come out of my lips.“Why are you asking this question?” My thoughts suddenly came to life.“Just answer what I asked.”Now, he was looking at me with that icy stare, and there wasn’t a trace of emotion on his face. I became even more confused.“There has to be a reason for the question.” I crossed my arms over my chest and stared at him firmly.Gregory lowered his head and remained silent. A few days ago, I noticed that he seemed as if he wanted to tell me something. He had been restless; sometimes, I would catch him looking at me so intensely that I even thought Gregory was about to strip my soul bare. I noticed something different about him, but I refused to believe this change concerned me.This question only fueled my doubts even more. I had never hated anyone, so why would Gregory think I hated him?“I already told you my reason

Gregory.Emma disliked what happened. I was still holding her, but she struggled to break free from me.“I didn’t say any of that,” she kept refusing.“I heard you very well say that you love me.” I pulled her even closer against my body.I had no intention of letting her go. My body was begging to kiss her lips again, and I mentioned that I would do so when I tilted my face toward hers—but Emma turned her face away.“Why are you doing this?” She stopped fighting against me, but she didn’t look into my eyes when she asked the question.I had the words on the tip of my tongue, but they never came to life. They hid in my mouth, forcing me to retreat. I let go of Emma and regretted no longer feeling the warmth of her body. Who was I trying to fool? How long would I refuse to accept my attraction to the woman I had bought like an object?She looked into my eyes, and I saw a flicker of disappointment escape from them. She would never forgive me for the harm I had caused her heart. What cha

Emma.I was standing, leaning against the bed, looking at the closed door through which Gregory had just passed? I kept hearing his voice in my head all the time as he repeated the words, “I love you.”My defensive system was on high alert now, and my messy thoughts told me that Gregory was lying. I had lived beside him for two and a half years, and that man had never shown any affection for me—only disdain. And now he was saying he loved me? What were the odds of me believing that?I saw Lia enter the room, and something forced me to erase my worried expression. She came toward me smiling, as if she knew something I didn’t. Her gaze remained fixed on me until I lay down and closed my eyes.“Don’t pretend you’re sleeping,” she pressed her mouth to my ear and whispered, “Why do you act like this every time you see your husband?”I jumped out of bed, my heart racing, and looked into her eyes. The aroma of coffee filled my nostrils as she sipped the liquid.“What did Gregory say to you?”

EmmaMy hands were trembling. I stared blankly, wavering between anger and the urge to see Gregory again. I didn’t understand him. He said he loved me, and the next second, he disappeared.As I searched for an answer, Samantha entered the room, looking concerned.“Emma, are you okay?” She approached, examining my face. “You look different.”I smiled nervously, trying to hide how upset I was.“I’m great! She stared at me.”“I have no idea,” she said, then looked away. As if remembering something important, she added, “Mr. Gregory already spoke to the doctor about that. You don’t need to worry.”“Gregory is here?” I stammered in shock. “I mean, he’s at the hospital?”Samantha tilted her head, then looked back at me strangely, as if my words were incomprehensible to her.“Mr. Gregory has been here the whole time.” She moved closer again. “Are you sure you’re okay?”I slowly nodded, confirming her question. But deep down inside of me, everything was confused. Samantha insisted that Gregor

Emma.Cutting my hair wasn’t the same as losing an arm or a leg, but cutting it felt like I was losing an important part of my body. I knew it would grow back, that if I were lucky enough to live another year, it would be long again, just as beautiful as it was now. But seeing the scissors cutting through my locks and, right after, the clippers running over my scalp made me shed tears.No one should be forced to shave their head, but the illness wouldn’t leave a single strand behind, and I couldn’t bear to watch my hair fall out slowly without being able to do anything. I tried to be strong, to see the bright side—the one where there was hope of watching it grow back like a plant—but the pain I felt was inevitable.When I looked in the mirror, I saw Gregory’s reflection right behind me. His eyes shone with deep sadness, but he tried to smile to show that everything was okay. I never imagined I would feel bad seeing Gregory suffer, especially knowing that I was the reason for his pain.

Emma.I glimpsed Gregory as soon as I woke up the next day. He was lying beside me, his icy eyes fixed on me so tenderly that I thought I wouldn’t be able to look at him for long. A smile played on my lips. Last night had been a mixture of feelings I couldn’t explain.During those years of marriage, it was the first time Gregory had given me all his love while we slept together.He leaned in and kissed me, then covered me a little more before getting up and saying:“Stay in bed.” He got dressed quickly, and I could feel the cold creeping into the room. “The weather in Spain is simply bitter. You’d better stay covered from head to toe so you don’t catch a cold.”“I would rather not spend the day in bed.” I threw the blanket aside and got up.That was when I looked back and noticed many strands of hair on my pillow. I froze for a moment, just staring at them as if they weren’t real. I tried to raise my hand and place it on my head, running my fingers through my hair as more strands fell

I admired Emma in silence as she ate, wishing that moment could last forever, until my phone vibrated in my pocket. I ignored the first call, but it didn’t stop after that. Not only that, but I should have turned it off—that was my truest intention—when a message from Helena lit up my screen.“Answer the phone, Gregory. I’ve changed the will.”I jumped from my chair. Emma’s distraction that day prevented her from noticing. She only saw when I stepped away to the other side to take Helena’s last call.“You should have called me and told me what happened.”Her voice was trembling on the other end of the line. I turned my head to look at Emma, and she was watching me intently. It was impossible to pretend normalcy in the face of what was happening.“Emma and I are fine.” I closed my eyes and massaged my temples. “There was no need to change the will just because of that.”But what the hell was I saying? I had desired that inheritance for nearly my entire life, believing it should be mine

Emma.When we arrived at the hotel, it was like another bomb exploding in our minds. Gregory paced back and forth in the room, his face red as he gestured while speaking with his lawyer about the situation. We should be enjoying ourselves now, but I felt trapped, unable to do so.“We can’t leave the city,” he threw his phone onto the bed and ran a hand over his face. “We can’t go back home either, not until the Spanish police clear us.”“This could take months,” I said, feeling discouragement wash over me. “Then let’s drop the complaint.”“Things aren’t that simple, Emma,” he huffed, lifting his head toward the ceiling as if pleading for help from the heavens. “Let’s make the most of our trip. I won’t let Edward take this from me, too.”Bravely, Gregory took my hand and pulled me out of the room. I didn’t question him, trusting his decision, though my heart pounded uncontrollably in my chest, fearing that Edward would appear again to finish what he had started. On the way to the build

GregoryI noticed when Edward kissed Emma and when she pushed him away, confessing her love for me. That was what frozen my legs at first and stopped me from going at him. I saw Emma’s ability to defend herself, to handle the situation on her own, and I felt proud of her, but now it was my turn to defend my family and put Edward in his place.I intended to break every tooth in that bastard’s mouth. Not only that, but I had been holding on to resentment against Edward for a long time. He blamed me for our parents’ deaths and said I would pay for it when he made my life a living hell. And he had been doing that ever since our grandfather died.Now he was saying he would take Emma from me, the only good thing I had left. But Edward didn’t know my dark side—not yet. He was mistaken if he thought I would let that happen.“Stop this, Gregory.” Emma held my arm, her eyes filled with tears, fear hovering over her beautifu

Emma.I looked around to see if any faces were familiar. Then I looked at Gregory, who had a bloodied forehead. Who would want to kill him, and why? We were in Spain; no one knew us or had any reason to hate us.Maybe I was too innocent, or perhaps I couldn’t think clearly in the face of adrenaline and the fear of something worse happening to Gregory. When the ambulance arrived, the police came along. I didn’t speak their language and couldn’t understand what they were saying.“Ma’am, what he’s trying to ask is whether you noted the license plate or recognized the driver.” One officer spoke my language, but I didn’t know exactly how to respond.“I didn’t see anything. I didn’t even see when the vehicle approached. You should talk to my husband.”My hands were trembling, and I felt like I wouldn’t be able to stand for much longer. I looked at Gregory, covered in blood, lyi

Before the accident.Emma.I entered Gregory’s dark room, and he dressed without any ceremony in front of me, calm and calculating, knowing exactly what that action would cause in me. This time, I didn’t turn my face away—I looked at every detail of his body, every curve, every muscle moving as he put on his clothes.Once dressed, he approached me again, and there was a distinct glow in his eyes, something I had never seen a trace of before.“We need to talk,” he said while buttoning up his white shirt, and I kept thinking that maybe those words should have been mine.“Talk about what?” I asked when his eyes locked onto mine.I could barely breathe when Gregory got too close, only a few centimeters away, and I felt that his mouth would touch mine at any moment. Deep down, I wished it would happen.“Are you asking for my help just out of fear?” he whispered, and it was as if my legs

Edward.“Mr. Edward, that beautiful woman would like to meet you,” the heiress of one of the wealthiest families in the city, was smiling at me. She was just as pretentious as she seemed. Eager and desperate to make a connection with me. I smiled, but suddenly, my mind betrayed me, and the beautiful woman’s face transformed into something else.I shook my head, thinking I was going crazy. Why, after all, was I seeing Emma in that woman’s face?I looked at my wineglass and considered that it might be time to stop drinking so much. I shoved my hands into my pockets and looked around. The charity gala was in full swing. Filled with champagne glasses, beautiful women, live music, men in their expensive suits, and thousands of dollars circulating around the tables. This place was full of hypocrites. No one really gave a damn about the cause—except, of course, my grandmother Helena.Before going to the event, my lawyer had made som

What did Gregory mean by that? I spent most of the trip thinking about it until I finally fell asleep. There was no answer to his audacity; Gregory was truly determined to make my days more difficult.At least, I wanted to believe that. I wanted to create a bad image of him inside me so that it would be easier to forget him.I felt a hand caressing me. Not only that, but I thought I was dreaming, but when I slowly opened my eyes, I saw Gregory, standing with his face just inches from mine, smiling. The way he seemed happy by my side sent a shiver down my spine.I pulled away immediately when I realized the plane had already landed. How many hours had I been asleep? I would rather not ask Gregory that the less we talked, the better it would be for me.“We need to go,” he said, standing up and extending his hand for me to lean on him.I refused his help, getting up on my own and walking past him without giving him any attention. Gregory s
