The Billionaire's Serendipitous Love Chapter 30
Emily's POVIt was lunchtime, and I was sitting at my desk, trying to regain my composure. Then, I heard the door open and saw Liam's smiling face in the doorway. But as soon as he saw my tear-streaked face, his smile disappeared. "What happened?" he asked, concern in his voice. I wanted to tell Liam everything, from how Williams had broken my heart to how I ended up in this position due to the proxy marriage. But I stopped myself, remembering Ethan's warning not to tell anyone about the arrangement. I felt torn between wanting to confide in Liam and wanting to obey Ethan's wishes. I didn't know what to do, and I just sat there, silent and unsure. Liam's concerned expression turned to confusion, and I knew I had to say something."My grandma is sick," I blurted out, not thinking about the consequences of my lie. I knew it was wrong to lie, but I didn't want to tell him the truth. I didn't want to look weak or vulnerable. As soon as the words left my mouth, I regretted them. But then

Emily's POVI lay there for a few minutes, letting my thoughts consume me. But then my phone started ringing, jolting me out of my daze. I looked at the screen and saw that it was my mom calling. I took a deep breath and answered the call. "Hi, Mom," I said, my voice sounding flat and lifeless. I didn't want her to know how I was feeling."I haven't heard from you in a while," my mom said, her voice sounding concerned. "Is everything okay?" I felt a lump in my throat, and I struggled to answer her question. A surge of anger welled up inside me as I thought about how my mom had pushed me into the proxy marriage. I knew it was wrong, and I was mad at her for trying to control my life like that. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. "Everything's fine," I lied."And how's Ethan?" she asked, her voice sounding cheerful. I bit my lip, not sure how to answer her. I didn't want to lie to her again, but I also didn't want to tell her the truth.My anger towards my mom was still

Emily's POVI closed my eyes and thought about the past. I missed my dad, and I wished he was still here. I knew he would never have forced me into something like this, and I felt like I was letting him down by going along with it.

Emily's POV"So, what would you like?" Liam asked, his warm smile melting my heart. I felt a flutter in my chest as I looked into his eyes. But I was still too preoccupied to make a decision. "I'm not sure yet, what about you?" "I'll have whatever you're having," he said, surprising me. I was not expecting him to say that. I couldn't help but feel a little bit flattered that he wanted to have the same thing as me. "Okay." I had a huge smile.

Ethan's POVI opened my eyes, and there she was, standing in front of me. Emily looked concerned, and I wondered if I looked as tired as I felt. "I think it would be more comfortable if you went inside to sleep you look uncomfortable on the couch." I knew she was right.I wondered why she hadn't told me she was coming back late. I knew I shouldn't let her know I was worried, as I didn't want to make her feel special. "You would have told me you were coming back late." I kept my voice steady."I'm sorry." Her voice was apologetic. "I didn't know I would spend so much time." She seemed to be telling the truth, but I still felt a twinge of doubt. "Why weren't you picking up your phone?" "My phone was in my bag, by the time I discovered I had missed calls, my battery had died." I could tell she was telling the truth. "I'm sorry I made you worried," she added, and I could hear the sincerity in her voice."I wasn't worried. I lied.""The dinner at my grandfather's house is tomorrow."

The way he hangs on your every word."Ava's words hung in the air, her implication clear. I felt a surge of indignation, but I kept my tone level.
