Relentless Pursuit of His Lost Love

"Let's end this, I want a divorce."Clayton Strong threw the divorce paper in front of Emerald Trueman.The ruthlessness of the man was like a sword piercing her heart. Emerald pursed her lips as she suppressed the pain.She foolishly thought he finally warmed up with her as he had set a dinner date with her for the first time.Taking into consideration that he was swamped with work as his father gave the whole reins of the family's huge company to him, Emerald patiently waited for him for three hours. Enduring the scornful gaze thrown her way.Now, he showed up half an hour before the restaurant's closing hour. Then, unapologetically sat down while he threw the divorce paper at her.How cruel could this man be? Throwing divorce paper at her on their first wedding anniversary. "The 500 million dollars alimony after the divorce will allow you to live a life of luxury all through your life," Clayton didn't bat an eye when he wrote this amount of alimony as he only wants to be out of th

Emerald emerged onto the runway and rocked a silver strappy plunge long gown with a slit at center of the gown. Emerald exuded an otherworldly beauty as she did her catwalk on the runway. From top to bottom she looked fantastic and stunning. Clayton's irises darkened as he scanned Emerald from her beautiful face, down to her fair and slender neck. His eyes moved to her sexy collarbones and shoulders. The valley between her bosoms was not missed out by his scrutiny as they went down to her tiny waist and further down to her sexy slender thighs and legs. The Emerald in front of him was the exact opposite of the docile and dull wife who waited for him at home. This Emerald before him emanates wildness. Clayton's throat bobbed up and down as he swallowed while his eyes were transfixed at Emerald's bare back showing her fair, flawless and glowing skin. Lizzy who sat next to Clayton was green with envy. She snorted and mumbled, "A country bumpkin will always be a bumpkin no matter wha

Emerald recognized that voice. It belongs to Red, one of her male friends. With a wide and bright smile she turned towards Red, but quickly her smile faded away as soon as she caught sight of the man beside Red. "You did great!" Red raised his hands with thumbs up and he walked near Emerald. "How long have you been here?" Emerald asked, ignoring the man standing next to Red. Clayton wanted to engulf her into his embrace. But held back as he didn't want to make another mistake that would cause her to run away again. Unconcealed adoration and longing danced in Clayton's eyes as he stared at the woman he had been searching for a long time. Last time, he saw her in an evening gown which stunned him. Today, she had the same effect on him even when clad in a race suit. "An hour?" Red said as he looked at his watch. Emerald nodded and acted normal as if she was unbothered with Clayton's presence. "By the way, I would like to treat you for lunch together with my cousin here," Red poin

Up close, Red could see Emerald's nervous fidget while seated on the bench outside the emergency room.Self absorbed, Emerald wasn't aware that Red was closely observing her. Unable to hold back, Red opened his mouth to speak out his observation. "It seems that you and my cousin have known each other." Emerald snapped back from her musing, abruptly turned her head so that it hurt her neck a little. "Nonsense, I don't know him," Emerald just hoped Red would believe her and ask no more questions. "The way you called his name felt like he's someone close to you and why did you cry?" Red couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something between Clayton and Emerald. "I was the one who ordered the food. And if he died, who would be held responsible? The time his life ends, so does my career. Do you understand it?" Emerald stood up, feigning anger so as not being interrogated again.Comparing the two cousins, Red and Clayton both are good looking men but Red was inferior when it co

Emerald parked her car and alighted from the vehicle. And then, strolled towards her apartment building. As she was entering the lobby she heard someone calling her. She turned towards the source of voice and saw Red. He was standing beside the guard. "What are you doing here?" Emerald asked as she approached Red. "It's been a while since the last time I saw you," Red said, looking at her with pleading eyes. Considering that Clayton was not with him, Emerald had no reason to refuse him. She only avoided Red because she didn't want to cross paths with Clayon again. What she witnessed in the hospital altered her decision. Initially, she accepted the fact that she and Clayton will eventually meet again because of Red. But seeing how Lizzy went berserk when she saw Shannon lying on the hospital bed with Clayton, she feared that she would be misunderstood by Lizzy and create a scene. She knew Lizzy was not afraid to hurt her as she tried to do it multiple times. She was fortunate
