Emily's POV.

Adrian swiftly turned around to face me with a remorseful look on his face.

"Emily, that was totally not supposed to happen, I'm really sorry,"

"It's... Uhm... It's fine, trust me, no offense taken," I stuttered, struggling to put myself together.

That was a really weird incident, I mean, whoever that lady was, she truly was scary.

"Don't take her words to heart, those were empty threats," he reached out to grab my hands, stroking them soothingly.

I nodded slowly, trying so hard to hide my discomfort under a fake grin. I could tell she meant every word she said.

"C'mon, let's eat now," he led me back to the dining.

I desperately wanted an explanation for what happened, I wanted to know who she was to him and what could be the cause of their fallout, but he looked like he wasn't ready to talk about it yet.

As much as I was desperate for a total disclosure, I also didn't want to say anything that would infuriate him more.

No one said a word to anyon

I like what I read so far. I just hope the heroine doesn’t start making dumb decisions! It’s really aggravating when someone who has repeatedly hurt you and you keep dealing with the bs instead of walking away and telling them to kiss your rear end!!!

    Emily's POV.I looked through the window, tears clouding my eyes as Adrian drove us to the airport. He's had the company sorted and we were finally leaving the country. I couldn't believe I was about to flee the country with a total stranger. But instead of remorse or guilt, there was a pinch of happiness simmering at the tip of my stomach. I was leaving behind the horrible memories that I endured for four years, it was finally time to move on.Adrian was far from being a stranger to me right now. He was a good Samaritan, showing up when I needed help the most, and hasn't given up on me yet. I was glad someone with such a good heart like him existed, if he hadn't shown up when he did, I'd still be in the cold street right now.I was beyond happy he found his way to me just when I needed him the most and I was super excited to be relocating to London with him. It was obvious beyond every doubt that I was in good hands. But despite how happy I was, I couldn't deny that a part of my

    Emily's POV. I couldn't help the cold jitters that ran through my entire system as we drove into the large mansion. Peeping through the window, I admired the elegant building and its beautiful environment. I was wowed but not really surprised. I was quite aware that Adrian came from a wealthy home, the above mansion was a testament to it. "Remain seated," he whispered to me, before getting down from the car. I watched in total confusion as he sprinted towards my side of the car, wondering what he was up to. He walked up to the passenger side where I was seated and pulled the door open. "At your service, mademoiselle," he said, stretching forth his hand towards me with a wide smile on his face. I couldn't help the laughter that bubbled through my mouth. "Well, thank you, kind monsieur," I placed my hand on his and he helped me climb down gently. Almost immediately, the front door flung open, and a few middle-aged men and women whom I assumed to be the house workers walked towa

    Emily's POV. I was certain who the voice belonged to but to satisfy my curiosity, I turned around slightly and I wasn't wrong in my assumption. It was truly her. Elisha, Adrian's scary ex fiancee.I couldn't help but wonder why she was this persistent in getting him back despite being the one who cheated.I couldn't place my head around a tangible reason that could have pushed her to cheat on a man like Adrian. Liam was extremely horrible to me but never had I thought once of cheating on him. Elisha doesn't in any way deserve Adrian and I'm glad she was caught before she was able to lure him into marriage. This isn't in any way coming from a place of jealousy but care for the man who did everything to help me when I had given up on life. I do not have any romantic feelings for him and never will. I was more focused now on my wellbeing and that of my child. I do not have any plans of developing some sort of romantic feelings for any man. Not with everything Liam did to me."Elis

"I hope this suits your taste?" He said as he led me to a large room, beautifully designed. "It's just for tonight, we leave for my house tomorrow,""It's perfect, thank you," I mumbled, my gaze fixed on the floor, unable to look him in the eyes. "You can settle in then, and get a good rest, you must be tired, I'll be in my room, if you need anything don't hesitate to have the house workers direct you to my room," he added and I nodded frantically.Without saying any more word to me, he turned around and headed out but I was quick enough to grab his hands before he walked out of the door."Uhm... Do you need anything?" His gaze was everywhere but my face, it was obvious that he was avo

    Emily's POV.I stirred tiredly, my eyes weakly snapping open to a brand new day. I have never looked forward to a new day the way I desperately craved for it last night. It felt like everything kept going wrong with each passing second and the only solution was to magically jump into a new dawn.Well, here it was and I couldn't be more happy. It was finally time to leave the Gonzalez mansion for Adrian's home. I could tell it will be a lot of fresh air, and finally I could be somewhere safe from Elisha. After our encounter last night, she had left with heavy anger, not without mentioning that this was far from being over. I couldn't deny the fact that I was fed up already, this wasn't how I envisioned my life after the divorce to turn out. I wanted peace, which Liam never offered and I was determined to offer it to myself and my unborn child the best I could, but right now, it seemed impossible. Elisha was out to eliminate me from Adrian's life and Mr and Mrs Gonzalez doesn't see

    Emily's POV.I refused to let Mrs Gonzalez's attempt to pay me off get to me. If I wanted such an easy way out, I would have taken the credit cards that Liam offered to me in a platter of gold, but that was far from being my problem. I needed a safe environment for my child and I, and that I must surely get.My bags were already packed, I couldn't wait to leave for Adrian's house. Maybe I could get some peace and quiet that I craved. I was determined to quickly find a way to sort myself out so I don't have to depend on Adrian throughout my stay here, despite the hand of help he has extended to me. I wasn't prepared to take advantage of that. Maybe I could get a job, that way I could provide for myself and my child, and then I could afford an apartment. I wasn't intending to live with him forever. He's done enough already. After getting my things ready, I laid back on the bed and awaited Adrian's arrival. Slowly I drifted off into a deep.A soft knock on the door jerked me up from

    Emily's POV."It was nice having you here, Emily," Mrs Gonzalez blurted with a smile that anyone could easily detect was fake.She was walking us towards the car, together with Mr Gonzalez and Emma. "Same here, Mrs Gonzalez," I replied. "Do I look forward to you reaching out about our little discussion? I'm sure once you've given it a good thought, you'll come around," she winked secretly in a way, only I could see it. "I don't think that would be happening ma'am, but if anything changes, I know where to find you," I flashed her a knowing smile. I could see the tiny glint of anger flashing through her eyes but she tried so hard to hide it away. "You both are speaking in parables, is there something going on?" Adrian asked, dragging his gaze from me to his mother."Don't be nosy, it's strictly ladies' business, right Emily?" She turned towards me with a raised brow and I nodded slowly. The little walk from the front porch to the car seemed to be taking forever. I wanted to be as

    Emily's POV.A soft knock on the door woke me from my deep sleep.Dragging my gaze to the wall clock, my eyes flew wide open in shock, it was mid morning. I quickly climbed down from the bed and headed towards the door. Pulling it open, a middle aged woman stood at the doorstep with a covered tray on her hands."Good morning ma'am," she greeted with a bow."Hello?" I replied curtly. "I brought your breakfast ma'am, you didn't come down to the dining room so I decided to bring it up here," she said."Uhm... Who are you?" I furrowed my brows at her. "My name is Helen, I'm the chief cook, the rest of the house workers are back too," she replied."Oh, uhm... Come in then," I mumbled, stepping away from the door and she walked in.My gaze followed her every move as she walked towards the center table and dropped the tray, then bowed and left.I couldn't help but wonder why she kept bowing to me?

Thankfully, the nearby waiter had already helped fix our table again, and I was also able to fix myself. I knew if I didn't, Mom won't fail to realize that something is off. "Her suitor only wanted to talk, and not dance." Ryan replied. "Good for you," she shrugged. "Anyways, my husband and I are going to retire for the night now, enjoy the rest of your night kiddies," she added, grabbing Dad's hands and they rushed upstairs. "Retiring for the night indeed." Ryan suddenly blurted and we bursted into laughter. "We should retire for the night too, don't you think?" "Look who can't wait to have me." He teased. "Don't get ahead of yourself, I just want to sleep." I snapped at him."You know you don't." He persisted. Of course I don't, all I want for the night is him, call me an addict or whatever but I'm just trying to get enough of him before Mom and Dad fin

"That's actually for our parents," I heard Ryan suddenly say.So much for being such a chill guy now huh? He can't just help it. "Yes, but you can sit." I smiled warmly at him, turning to cast Ryan a warning glare."Sorry if I'm disturbing you though, I've just been watching you from afar, your smile is so beautiful, I couldn't help but push myself to come say hi." Awn, such sweet boy. "Thank you, that's really sweet." He nodded with a smile. "So, what's your name beautiful?" I could hear Ryan beginning to twitch noticeably on his seat at this point. Can this guy just take me to the dancefloor to avoid Ryan's wrath?"Aria." I managed to mutter.Almost immediately, I felt the familiar buzz in my panties again, but this time, it didn't stop. I sat back still just as the intensity on my clit increased. My eyes went wide and I grabbed both armrests. Ryan

  • Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me   Chapter two hundred and thirty two.

    Aria's POV.We walked down to our reservation, my heart beating hard against my chest, I couldn't wrap my head around why I felt so flushed. Could it possibly be because I was scared of how Mom and Dad were going to react to our lateness? Or because I had a tiny little vibrator stuffed away inside of me. As much as it brought some sort of tingling feelings in-between my legs, I couldn't also shake off the feeling of uncomfort that prodded me as I walked. It was my first time using a vibrator and I was scared it could fall off, even when Ryan had reassured me severally that it wouldn't fall off I still wasn't convinced, hence I was careful with each step that I took."Gosh, do they look scared?" I whispered to Ryan as we sighted Mom and Dad from afar. "Even if they are, it's worth it right?" He winked.What?I'm convinced that Ryan is an entirely breed of human. "Hey parents!" I squealed loudly as we got to the table, hoping to to get myself out of trouble with that."You both has

    Aria's POV.The moment the footsteps faded, Ryan immediately goes to work again. His drenched finger tip drags across the sensitive nub, and he delves his fingers back into my depths. I gasp in rapture and shame, my eyes growing wide."Now that we're free from interruptions..." He kisses my neck, and begins stroking the delicate lining of my vaginal walls, once again. He slips his other hand from my breast, drifting it down and down... joining the other, just outside the moistness of my cunt. His middle finger continues to swirl, as the maddening sensations radiate outward.It took every bit of my concentration to form the simple words which have been trying desperately to make their way out. "Ryan! Please... you have to..." The word freezes on the tip of my tongue. 'Stop.' It's a simple, one syllable word! Why can't I say it? 'Because you want him to continue!' The shameful thought echoes inside, even as I strained to repress it. 'You want him to keep going, because you love this.' E

    Aria's POV."P...Please!" My voice came out in a timid whisper. "I want... I want...!" In this moment, I want a million things, all of them buffeting my psyche for attention, and most of them wild and contradictory. "Oh Brent... Plea... please... mmmmm..."I swear that I can hear the subtlest squelching sound as he spreads my petals apart, and places the tip of his finger within the slick folds of my cunt. "Fuck... oh no.. oh yes.. oh please..." I have no idea what I want at this moment, but I want it so badly, my body is aching.He begins stroking, the tender ministrations felt so amazing blended with the sickening shameful knowledge that we had our parents waiting downstairs. My breath had gotten ragged and uneasy. He has not relinquished his grip on my breast either, and he continues working his hands into the soft flesh, effortlessly multitasking between the sensitive skin of my nipples and the incredibly sensitive skin of my cunt."Mmmmmmmm... fuck, oh fuck... Ryan! Ahhhh...!"A

"Just do as I say, you stubborn chick." His hand came down hard on my butt cheeks. "Ouch. Ryan you are such a brute." I snapped at him, turning around reluctantly.Swiftly, he grabbed me by the waist and spun me around, bending me over the edge of the bed. "I have a gift for you." He chuckled. From the tone of his voice, I knew it wasn't going to be a pleasant gift, rather a nasty one. "Mhm.. flawless." I heard him growl, followed immediately by a little rub on my lower leg, right below the hem of my towel."Ryan, what are you doing?" "But first, we have to get you ready." "Ryan, No, whatever it is can wait, we have dinner plans with Mom and Dad and it's already time, they are gonna come looking for us if we don't show up on time," I tried to protest. "Yeah, we can delay them a bit, we will be there, right in

I felt his body move slightly, removing his jeans along with his boxers, I was eager to have his cock in my mouth and in my hand. Once I had softly grabbed hold of it, I stroked him frantically for a moment before proceeding to take it into my mouth.A loud gasp suddenly flew out of his mouth as his cock came in contact with my warm mouth.I started with his balls, giving slow kisses and then licking passionately. I took his balls in my mouth, my eyes were on him, seeing his expressions change was so thrilling, taking his big cock in my mouth I let my tongue explore his hardness, I kissed his head, and then started licking along his shaft, my lips were around him now, his hands crawled into my hair so he could take charge for a few seconds, he grabbed my hair and started moving my head front and back, his cock hot in my mouth, I went faster gradually increasing my speed, I wrapped my han

    Aria's POV.His lips came crashing on mine again as he laid me on the bed, his lips so soft and hot, burning me with thousands of sensations, both his hands were on my waist, sliding them down I could feel his touch on my ass, my skirt wasn't covering my bottom which gave him a free movement, he got his hands to mine, locked both in his palms and put it straight over my head, this made my back arch a bit and he had straight access to every bit of my body, my nipples hardened and I saw his eyes on them so lustfully. He reached down to kissy neck, his firm hands that held my arms over my head made me stay still in one position.Slowly, he sucked at my collar bone giving me a hickey, I bit my lip to prevent me from screaming at the top of my voice at this point, he always knew ways to turn me on so much. As he continued to kiss my neck, his other hand, explored my body, he hurled my top up to get a clear view of my boobs. His fingers circling my pink hard nipples and his eyes had a look

    Aria's POV. We drove into the beautiful resort, I couldn't stop smiling as I looked out the window. It was a sight to behold, Dad had booked a reservation at an exclusive resort at Norwich. I suddenly felt Ryan reach out and held my hand, scooting closer towards me.It wasn't obvious to Mom and Dad since we sat together at the back seat. "One day, we will be here too with our kids," he whispered to me. I couldn't hold back the wide smile that broke out on my face as I watched the soft smile playing on his lips as he stared affectionately into my eyes. Nothing gladens my heart than Ryan's keen interest in our future together, hearing him speak so compassionately about our future family always brings tears to my eyes.I absolutely love the way he love me and sees future with me. I really love this man with everything in me and I hope everything works out for us."Ryan, I hope so too." I muttered. "Don't worry, everything will be fine." He winked.
