Emily's POV.

I laid my head over my desk, lost deep in thought.

I knew my doom was brewing but never did I think that it will be this early.

Now that Adrian is here, how do I manage my affair with Liam to avoid being caught?

I wished there was a way I could have everything sorted and at least restore my peace of mind. I hated what I was doing to Adrian and I needed a way to make it stop.

But somehow, of all the solutions that ran through my head, pushing Liam away was never one of them and that baffled me.

I really do wonder why he has such a strong grip on me.

I almost jumped out if my skin as I felt a sudden tap on my arm.

Looking up, my gaze landed on Kimberly and I exhaled a deep breath. "Kimberly, you scared me,"

"I'm sorry ma'am, I've been here for a minute, I called you severally but you didn't respond, I thought you might have dozed off," she replied.

"I was just resting my eyes," I lied. "Is there a problem?"

"Someone is here to see you," she replied.

"Who is it?"

  • Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me   Chapter ninety two.

    Emily's POV."Hey pumpkin," Adrian surprisingly had a wide smile on his face as he walked into my office.If I said I was confused, then that would be an understatement. Why was he being so cool despite walking into me and another man alone in the office. He further threw me off-guard as he leaned closer and placed a kiss on my lips. Okay, now I'm confused and I could tell that Liam was as well. His unsettling gaze shifted from Adrian to me. "What are you doing here Adrian? You are supposed to be resting after such an exhausting travel yesterday," I tried not to sound nervous and give myself away. "I brought you lunch," he smiled and for a moment, I was dumbfounded. I stole a quick glance at Liam to see his brows arched in surprise too.Despite how I gushed over Liam doing everything right, Adrian still remained with the crown. I had almost forgotten how far he will go for my happiness. Adrian really is the sweetest and most gentle person I know. He truly a perfect man and it hu

  • Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me   Chapter ninety three.

    Liam's POV.I drove back to the house after drowning myself with as many glasses of liquor as I needed to keep me miserable. That was all I needed to get my head off the haunting image of Adrian kissing Emily.How dare him!She belongs to me alone, no other man held the power to call her their woman. The way he touched her, looked at her, kissed her and called her his woman irritated the shit out of me. I wanted nothing but to rip his hands away from her and fling him as far away from her as possible. Only God knew how I was able to resist laying my hands on him, watching his hands all over her. Probably because Emily cares about him and hurting him will further tighten her heart against me, I just got her to open up her heart to me that I was not about to jeopardize that. I needed to find a quick solution to put a permanent stop to all of this. I could tell it was squeezing life out of Emily, she is beginning to lose weight and I needed to do something. But right now, I was fa

  • Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me   Chapter ninety four.

    Emily's POV."Are you okay babe?" Adrian's voice suddenly snapped me out of my trance. I was scared to my teeth for whatever the outcome of this date would be. Nichole is nasty, I know her. There is no way she isn't going to find a means to break the tea about Liam and I to Adrian. That I am sure off. If there was a way I could avoid this, I would. But Adrian was really so excited to go on this date with Liam. According to him, Liam is our biggest business partner and having a close friendship with him was important. I thought about confessing everything to him now before it becomes too late. If Nichole beats me to it then it's over for me.But then again, I couldn't risk it, now is not a good time to talk to him about something like this. I trust Liam to keep Nichole on a leash."I'm okay, just a little bit tired," I flashed him a warm smile, resting my head back on the arm rest. "I'm sorry about that pumpkin," he reached out to stroke my thighs gently. "Once we get home, I'll

  • Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me   Chapter ninety five.

    Emily's POV.I continued to cast Nichole death glares as she continued to converse with Adrian making a hint of my secret affair at every chance she got.Although Adrian didn't quite get the hint, it is only a matter of time before he begins to read meaning into it and that, I can't afford to happen. I twitched uncomfortably on my seat, hoping for some sort of miracle to put a stop to Nichole's mischievousness, even if it means the ground opening up and swallowing me. It will be so much better than having Nichole ruin my life this way. I thought Liam had her under control, what then is she doing?Suddenly, Liam suddenly stood to his feet. "What are you doing?" Nichole asked. "I want to entertain you all," he shrugged, turning around and headed towards podium, where the band members were performing. I knew he was trying to save us from the humiliation that Nichole had coming but I couldn't exactly tell how he meant to do that I watched in total confusion as he climbed up the stag

  • Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me   Chapter ninety six.

    Emily's POV."You must be kidding right? I'm his wife, I am going with him to the VIP," Nichole flared.I just sat back and watched the drama unfold without saying a word. She can go to the VIP with him, I couldn't care less, the last thing I wanted was to give Adrian a reason to be suspicious of Liam and I. "Nichole, it's just a little treat which Miss Emily and I merited, it's no big deal, we'll be out before you know it," Liam tried to calm her down.Of course he wanted to be in the VIP with me so badly, Adrian's return has placed a really huge gap between us and there hasn't been an opportunity to meet up. I could tell he was rejoicing inwardly right now at the opportunity that has just presented itself in our favor.I was excited to spend a little more time alone with him but I was more worried about Adrian. Leaving him behind with Nichole means my secret is at risk. "Mr Adrian, they are trying to separate us from our partners, aren't you going to do something?" She suddenly

    Emily's POV.The sexual tension simmering between Liam and I flew out of the window, I made to stand up from his body, but his hands still grabbing my butt cheeks held me still. "You are barely clothed, don't move, and it's the waiter," he whispered and I exhaled a deep breath. "I don't appreciate interruptions, young man, you should have notified us before barging in," Liam turned to him with a stern face. I couldn't help but wonder how he still managed to maintain his cool despite being caught in such awkward situation. I was certain the waiter knew that our separate partners were waiting outside. "I'm sorry sir," he bowed slightly. "Why are you here?" Liam queried. "You've exhausted your time, it's time to leave so we can bring others in," he replied.I was drowning with shame, more flushed because I still had Liam's dick buried inside me, I wondered how Liam could look him dead in the eyes."It's okay, we will be out shortly," he said to him.The waiter who looked pale now f

    Emily's POV."Baby!" Nichole screamed rushing into Liam's arms as soon as we walked into the lounge. "Hey." Liam managed to mutter. "You arrived on time, Miss Nichole and I are just coming from the gaming section," Adrian said pulling me into a hug.My heart tightened nervously as the possibility of him perceiving the scent of my heated moment with Liam."Oh there is a gaming section?" Liam asked and Adrian nodded in response. "I guess I just found myself a regular spot," Liam shrugged."For yourself or for us?" Nichole suddenly blurted, pointing childishly.Really? Must she be dramatic at every given chance?"Uhm... Yeah... For us..." Liam stuttered. I could tell he was really uncomfortable with Nichole's advances, but he was left with no choice than to put up with her. "We should go," he said curtly turning towards Adrian to get his response. I knew he was looking for a way to escape Nichole. "Yeah, this has been amazing, but we have to call it a night," Adrian replied and we

  • Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me   Chapter ninety nine.

    Emily's POV.I felt my phone beep in my purse as I walked towards the parking lot. Searching through my purse, I quickly brought it out. I suddenly froze on my spot as my gaze landed on the message on my screen."you think you can hurt the man I love and get to live with it?" Run as much as you can, I will find you and I will tell him everything, then I will end you." I quickly turned around in search of Nichole, but one glance at her and I already knew she wasn't responsible for this.She can't possibly be behind this, and more realistically, she dropped her purse with Liam when she was dragging me to the restroom.And quite frankly, Nichole can be cunning and all, but she can never be smart enough to go this far. Whoever it was mentioned that I was hurting the man they love. That was the last straw I needed to draw my attention off Nichole. It has to be someone coming from Adrian's end. But who could it be? I can't seem to place my head around. "I told you to come into the ca

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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 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
