Emily's POV."Mom called a few minutes after you left for the meeting," he said, his voice heavy with emotion. "She told me about the information a detective revealed about Elisha, and you knew about it all along."I suddenly felt my knees go weak. This was my biggest fear, and it was beginning to manifest."I was going to tell you," I protested, my mind racing. "I just..."You what, Emily?" He cut in roughly, his voice stern. "I'm not sure I understand your hesitation, keeping this from me was a betrayal of my trust, and I can't believe that you would keep something so important from me," I felt tears welling up in my eyes, but I managed forced them back. "I was trying to protect you," I said, my voice breaking. "You were already under so much stress. I didn't want to make things worse."Adrian shook his head, his expression unchanged.I continued regardless, my voice growing more desperate as I tried to explain myself"I know that keeping this from you was wrong, but I was trying

Emily's POV.It's been a few weeks since the meeting brouhaha.I had been so scared when we didn't get a response from them for two days, I was beginning to think that they found a more eligible company for the contract. But my worries were wiped when they finally came through with the contract a few days later. Adrian had been so happy signing the contract that he took me out on a dinner date, and gave the house workers the day off. It was all merriment for the Gonzalez and I couldn't be more glad that it was all happening because of my efforts.I couldn't help but kept wondering what would be Mr and Mrs Gonzalez's reaction once they found out about my involvement in their fortune.Adrian had insisted on telling them about it but I advised him against it, I didn't want to get them to like me by such means. If they aren't going to like me naturally, then they do not deserve to like me at all.A soft knock on the door snapped me out of my trance."Yes?"The door creaked open and Ad

Emily's POV. I placed a soft knock on Adrian's door and waited for his response. I had his drugs with me, as it was time for him to take them before going to bed. It's been few hours since he returned from work. Adrian has recovered fully over the past few days, and he has resumed fully resumed work as well, but he needed to still continue taking his drug for a few more days. "Is that my favorite pregnant lady?" I heard his voice from the room.I couldn't hold back my laughter.Adrian was effortlessly free spirited and loved to joke around.It was one of the many things I like about me."Adrian, come get your door please, it's time to take your drug before you go to bed," I said, my voice loud enough for him to hear me from inside. "Come right in, the door is open," he replied.Balancing the tray on one hand, I pushed the door open with the other. "There she is," he smiled as I walked into the room."Hi." I inched towards him on the bed. "Do I still have to take those?" He groa

Emily's POV."Emily for goodness sake, we are going to be late for the appointment with the doctor, hurry up already!" Adrian groaned for the umpteenth time as he knocked on my door.It was weekend and we had a checkup appointment with the midwife. Adrian had gotten ready a long time ago, and here I was, changing from each dress to the other. My tummy was beginning to protrude making most of the dresses look ridiculous in my eyes.Finally, I was able to pick one which safely covered my baby bump. "Alright, I'm just going to wait for you in the car," he spat, and his footsteps retracing followed. I could tell he was pissed but what do I do? The dresses are to be blamed, and my protruding belly as well. Quickly grabbing my bag, I ran out of the room, all the way downstairs. There was no trace of him anywhere as I got downstairs. "Hi Emily," Helen greeted, she was watching a tv show. Adrian allowed them do whatever they wanted, if they were done with their work. More reason they

Emily's POV.My eyes flew wide open in shock as his words streamed into my ears. He flashed me the most flirtatious smile I have ever seen on him, stroking my hands gently. "I know you do pumpkin, I've tried hard to ignore it but I can't anymore." Suddenly, the spark I felt was replaced with a strong wave of fear sweeping over me.No!This can't be happening.I can't be feeling this way for someone I met barely few months ago.It was more heart shattering knowing that I actually wanted it.I felt disgusted. I shouldn't feel this way for another man who isn't Liam, despite the divorce.Why does faith enjoy punishing me so brutally? Why does it bless me with something good and then make it impossible to truly call mine? Why does it feel like life generally doesn't want to see me stable and happy? I quickly withdrew my hand from his and recoiled back in the bed."Adrian, please, I can't do this now," I breathed out in a low voice, I could barely hear myself. I was overcome by the ext

Emily's POV.Adrian and I walked side by side as we walked into the building, my heart racing with excitement and anticipation. It had been a few weeks since I started working at Adrian's company, but I still felt the same rush of pride every time I stepped foot inside the building.The air today seemed to hum with energy and possibility, the smell of coffee wafted through the air, mingling with the faint voices from nearby offices. I had a meeting scheduled in few minutes time, making it my second business since I started working here. Thankfully, I was beginning to get used to it and the nervousness has flown out of the room."You're going to be great as usual, Emily," Adrian said as we approached the elevator, giving my arm a gentle squeeze. "Thanks Adrian," I flashed him a warm smile. "You don't know how glad I am that I'm finally doing this,""Well, enjoy it while it lasts my lady, you have barely two months before you wrap it up for the baby," he teased. "Don't be such a spo

Emily's POV.My gaze on him intensified as the words left his mouth.I was taken aback by his invitation, my thoughts racing. It was inappropriate and unprofessional to leave the conference room without finalizing the business. But on the other hand, he seemed harmless, and judging off the fact that he was coming from the connners of Mrs Marilyn, what could possibly go wrong?"That doesn't entirely sound bad," I said, my voice hesitant. "But I'm not sure if that's appropriate, given that we're still in the middle of a business meeting."Tyson waved his hands in the air, indicating that it wasn't a problem."We are only going to continue the discussion, Miss Emily, you have nothing to worry about," his voice was quite persuasive. "Besides, it's important for colleagues to get to know each other outside of the boardroom, don't you think?"I hesitated for a moment, but then nodded afterwards "I guess you aren't wrong," A warm smile spread out on his face "Great," he said, standing up.

Tyson looked up at him, a look of confusion on his face. "Is there a problem?" he asked, his voice friendly but questioning.Adrian stepped forward, his eyes narrowed. "Yes, there's a problem," he said. "You can't just take my employee out for lunch without my permission. What kind of game are you playing here?"I quickly stepped between them, my hands raised in a calming gesture.I was taken aback by Adrian's anger. "Adrian, I'm sorry if this seems inappropriate," I began, trying so hard to sound convincing. "But I assure you, it's purely business, Mr Tyson has expressed interest in my marketing campaign, and thought it would be a good opportunity to discuss it in a more informal setting."Adrian looked skeptical, his eyes darting between me and Tyson. "And what's your interest in this, Mr Tyson?" he asked, his tone still suspicious.Tyson's expression was calm, his eyes narrowed slightly. "My interest is solely in Emily's work, and nothing else," he said, his voice level and clear.

The restaurant was warm, the golden lights casting a cozy glow over the sleek wooden tables. Soft jazz music played in the background, mingling with the murmurs of the other diners, the clinking of silverware against fine china.I sat by the window, stirring my drink absentmindedly as I watched the city move outside. For the first time in what felt like forever, I was alone. No responsibilities pressing on my shoulders, no demands clawing at my time. Just me, a beautifully plated meal, and the illusion of peace.I let out a long sigh, sinking into the plush chair, allowing myself to bask in the moment. Life had been... exhausting. For years, I had been running. Not literally, but emotionally, mentally. Running to fix things, to prove myself, to erase the shadows of the past. And on top of that, I had a daughter now—a beautiful, sweet little girl who meant everything to me. She had Ryan’s piercing eyes, his lips, but my face. Every time I looked at her, it was like seeing pieces of him
Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me Chapter two hundred and fifty five.
Aria's POV. It had been two years since everything changed... since the scandal that turned my world upside down. And then my parents had it fixed. Christie, Josh and I were done with highschool and now in our first year in college. And just like every other day, we were laughing about some stupid class project as we made our way down the sidewalk.Suddenly, my phone tucked in my pocket and I quickly fetched it from my pocket, I didn't recognize the number, but it was an unknown area code, and something about it made my stomach drop.“Hold on, guys,” I said to Christie and Josh before picking the call “Hello?” “Is this Aria Liam's?” a calm voice on the other end asked.“Yes,” I replied, getting confused now. “This is city hall hospital. We need you to come in immediately. Your presence is required.”My mind raced. The urgency in the voice sent a chill down my spine. “What happened? Is everything okay?”“I’m afraid I can’t give you any details over the phone,” she said. “But it’s
Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me Chapter two hundred and fifty four.
Aria's POV.I had never been so relieved to return to school. Two weeks off, two long weeks of hiding away in my room, avoiding the pitying stares from neighbors, and the whispers of strangers who thought they knew everything. But today, today I was going back. I wasn’t going alone either. My parents were walking beside me, I didn’t know exactly what they had planned, but I knew they were going to do something about the scandal. Something that would either make everything better.. or make it worse.I adjusted the strap of my bag, glancing at my parents as we walked through the front gate of the school. Mom was standing tall, shoulders squared, walking with a determined pace. Dad, on the other hand, had his hands jammed deep into his pockets. They looked like the same parents I had known my whole life, though today felt different. They were on a mission.The moment we stepped onto school grounds, I could feel the tension. The eyes. People were still talking about us.. about the scanda
Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me Chapter two hundred and fifty three.
Aria's POV.The moment I broke the hug, a strange sensation crawled through my body. It wasn’t pain, but something that felt like an overwhelming wave, an unsettling force pulling at my insides. My stomach twisted, and a sudden wave of nausea surged up through my chest, catching me off guard. My vision blurred, and I swayed, struggling to keep myself upright. I gripped the edge of the chair, my fingers digging into the hard surface in an attempt to ground myself. But her body wasn’t listening to me. It felt like it had betrayed me, as if it had no control of its own."Hey, Aria, what's wrong?" I heard distant voices but I couldn't make out who they belonged to.My head spun, the room seeming to tilt at an impossible angle. The world around me began to dissolve, the sounds muffled as if underwater. I gasped for air, trying to steady myself, but it was as though the air itself had become thick, too heavy for me to breathe. My chest tightened, and my pulse raced, the noise of my heartbea
Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me Chapter two hundred and fifty two.
Aria's POV.The days dragged on, each one stretching endlessly without Ryan. The grief was a living thing, wrapping around me, suffocating me. I missed him in ways that words could never capture. It wasn’t just his presence; it was the way he made me feel, the way he could make even the worst moments bearable. Now, everything was unbearable.I hadn’t left my room much, only stepping out when my body physically forced me to. I barely ate. I barely slept. When I did sleep, it was restless, haunted by dreams of Ryan... his voice, his touch, his warmth. Only to wake up to the cruel reality that he was gone.Christie and Josh had been my lifeline, visiting almost daily. They would knock, call my name softly, and even if I didn’t answer, they would sit outside my door for hours, talking about everything and nothing at all. I didn’t deserve them, but I needed them. Even if I could barely acknowledge it.It was a week of my suspension today, after spending hours lying in bed, staring blankly
Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me Chapter two hundred and fifty one.
Ryan's POV.It had been days. Days since Ryan had disappeared from my life, leaving nothing but an empty hole where my heart used to be. I could still feel the echoes of his presence, haunting the corners of the house, in the space where his laughter used to ring, in the quiet that used to be filled with his voice. But now, everything felt hollow. I hadn’t heard from him since that video, that live confession. And with every passing moment, the silence grew louder, consuming me more and more until I couldn’t tell where I ended and the emptiness began.I sat on the floor in the far corner of my room, my knees drawn up to my chest, arms wrapped tightly around them as if I could protect myself from the overwhelming emptiness that consumed me. The walls felt like they were closing in. The quiet, the stillness, it suffocated me. My mind wouldn’t let me escape the thoughts of him. Of what he said. Of what he did. Of what he could have done to escape this nightmare.My heart kept trying to
Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me Chapter two hundred and fifty.
Aria's POV.I didn’t think. I just ran.My feet slammed against the cold floor of the hallway as I hurtled down the stairs, my heart racing, pounding in chaotic rhythm. It was as though my entire body was trying to escape the terror and helplessness that consumed me, trying to outrun the suffocating fear that had taken over my mind. My thoughts were a blur, a haze of desperate urgency, but they all had one single, overpowering focus: Ryan.I had to find him. I had to stop him.I absolutely don't know where he is or where to find him but one thing was sure, I will get him back.The words from his confession echoed in my head, over and over again: “I’m leaving. I’ll disappear.”No. He couldn’t. He couldn’t just leave me. Not after everything. Not after the bond we shared, the love, the years of quiet, stolen moments that had built up between us. Ryan was my everything. He was my protector, my constant, the one person who had never looked at me with judgment, never turned his back on me,

Aria’s POV. my heart pounded against my ribcage, each beat echoing in my ears like a warning. Something felt wrong... deeply wrong. I couldn't quite place it, but it clawed at my insides. The silence in the house was unnerving, oppressive, like the air itself had thickened. The usual heated house filled with laughter and happiness was absent since the day Ryan and I got outed, but today's emptiness felt different. It was as if the whole house had been drained of sound, leaving behind only an unsettling stillness.My eyes darted nervously over the hallway as I reached Ryan’s door. My hand trembled slightly as I pushed it open, the door creaked softly and I stepped inside, expecting to find him lounging on the bed, headphones in, oblivious to the world as he has been doing since the whole scandal. But when I looked around, my stomach sank.His room was completely… empty.The bed was made finely as though no one has laid on it for a while, the edges of the blanket smooth. The chair at h

Aria's POV.I laid lifelessly on my bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. I could tell my eyes has gotten swollen and red from crying, but no matter how much I tried, the tears wouldn’t stop threatening to spill over again. I curled up tightly under my blanket, trying to block out the whirlwind of emotions threatening to consume mr. It's the second day of my suspension and it felt like it had already lasted a lifetime, and the thought of enduring this for two weeks was unbearable.The silence in the house was oppressive, broken only by the faint hum of the air conditioning. I have been replaying every moment of the ordeal in my mind, trying to understand how things had spiraled so far out of control. I wanted so desperately for things to go back to how they were, to have my parents' love and trust again, and for the world to stop feeling like it was closing in on me. Each time I thought I had run out of tears, a fresh wave of sorrow would crash over me, leaving me sobbing into my pill
