Zavian finally pulled back just far enough to stare down at her, his expression hardening into something stern and unyielding. "You are my woman," he stated gravelly, his eyes boring into hers with an intensity. "And you belong to me alone!"Emmeline felt something inside her emotions at the weight of his claim. The vulnerability and longing she'd been fighting for so long crashed over her in an unstoppable wave. Without a moment's hesitation, she threw her arms around his neck, forcing him to bend down closer,"I know jealousy can make a person blind. It silences reason and makes you listen only to your fear of losing someone. I've felt that before too, Mr. Blackthorn." She whispered.Zavian’s forehead came to rest against hers, their mingled breaths gusting over swollen, ravished lips as he stared at her like she was the only thing anchoring him to the world.Emmeline swallowed hard, forcing herself to hold his gaze. "He told me to pretend. To act like we were some wild, passionate c

Zavian's grip loosened at her words. His shoulders relaxed, the hard line of his body softening as a hint of a smirk tugged his mouth."Is that what you've been waiting to hear?" Emmeline couldn't resist teasing, unable to smother her smile at the tension bleeding from his expression.Zavian looked away, burying hands in his jacket pockets. "I've been waiting to hear it," he admitted flatly.Emmeline chuckled, reaching to trail fingers over his stubbled jaw in a teasing caress. "That's how you know how patient I am," she murmured, her tone playful and seductive.Zavian’s brows furrowed briefly in irritation but before he could respond, she rose on tiptoes and pressed a quick, impulsive kiss to his lips.The sound lingered sweetly intimate in the chilly air between them."Let's head back before they ask questions," Emmeline suggested, pulling back to gaze through her lashes. "What excuse did you use to get us alone this long?""Minnie dropped her phone, so I pretended I lost my wallet a

Emmeline quickly tried to fix herself up, smoothing down her tousled hair and straightening her clothes, doing her best to hide any obvious traces of the sinful acts she and Zavian had just engaged in.Her swollen, reddened lips, however, were a different story – one that Zavian seemed immensely proud of, if the smug, satisfied smirk curving his sensual mouth was any indication."Don't even think about it," she muttered under her breath, shooting him a halfhearted glare. "If anyone asks, I'm just going to blame it on the cold air."Zavian’s grin widened. "Whatever you say, darling," he purred.Together, they headed toward the restaurant where the rest of their group was waiting, carefully maintaining the illusion that they'd just happened to run into each other outside by chance.No one appeared to suspect anything out of the ordinary as they rejoined the others, and Emmeline wondered – not for the first time – how it was possible their secret affair had managed to stay hidden for so l

The hot water lapped against Emmeline’s shoulders, its warmth seeping into her stiff muscles and coaxing her into a state of blissful relaxation. She leaned back, her eyelids fluttering shut as a lethargic haze settled over her.“I’m so sleepy,” she murmured dreamily. “Is it okay if I take a little nap here?”“The place is not for sleeping, Mrs. Maine.” Her moment of peace was interrupted by a deep, unmistakably annoyed voice.Emmeline’s eyes snapped open to find Zavian staring at her, his sharp features betraying his irritation.The intensity of his gaze made her sit up a little straighter, her drowsiness forgotten.“Did you bring appropriate clothes for New Year’s Eve?” Minnie's lively voice broke the ice before it could become too long.Yuna offered a faint smile. “I picked out one of my dresses. My husband’s all ready for the evening, too.”She turned her attention to Emmeline, curiosity lighting up her face. “What about you?”Emmeline forced a smile, trying to match Yuna’s enthusi

An involuntary moan escaped Emmeline's lips the second they united with Zavian's in a passionate kiss. It was low, but surely everyone heard the telltale sound, perhaps dismissing it as just a normal sniffle not worth complaining about.Zavian caught her lower lip between his and sucked it once with a sigh of exertion, quickly returning to capture her upper lip as if he wanted to sip her mouth mouthful by delicious mouthful before deepening the kiss further.Emmeline was confused about where to put her hands, needing to grab onto something. In the end, she folded her arms around his shoulders and tilted her head, her lips moving in harmony with his.Zavian was the one in control. Under the water, his hands openly danced up and down her waist while his hot breath scorched her flesh.A stillness had fallen over the place, broken only by the sounds of their muffled groaning.Zavian’s hands crept down to grip her ass cheeks firmly… without a care for the onlookers, giving them a squeeze th

Minnie quickly tried to defuse the tension. "Yuna could have volunteered to kiss you instead of her husband, Emmeline. You don't have to feel guilty, and she doesn't have to be angry. Heck, if I were her, I'd definitely kiss you over my husband!"Taehyung hissed furiously at his wife's remark. "Are you a lesbian or something?"Minnie blinked at him innocently. "No, I'm just Thai."He tightened his arm around her shoulders possessively, pulling her into his chest. "As if I'd ever let you kissing another woman."A smile crept across Emmeline's lips at their cute couple's quarrel.Yuna quickly caught her attention again with a dismissive wave. "I'm not angry with anyone. I may be a career-obsessed woman, but I can certainly distinguish between mere fun and something truly serious."When the heated atmosphere had calmed down a bit, Emmeline finally rose from her lover's lap.Zavian's hands slowly trailed down her waist, reluctant to let go until the distance between their bodies widened."

Minnie tenderly cupped handfuls of water, using it to caress her husband's reddened shoulders. "I think I've had enough of this game for now. My poor husband, the apple of my eye, is going to catch his death from my overzealousness."Richard grabbed Emmeline's arm forcefully, pulling her up to stand with him. "No need to linger if they're all leaving. We won’t take too long getting changed."Minnie grunted a vague response before they departed.Emmeline and Richard parted ways in front of the changing rooms, leaving her to awkwardly shuffle inside and find Yuna already seated, clad only in her underwear.Everyone had emerged from the hot spring area except Minnie, who stayed behind to tend to her husband.Emeline approached the spot where she'd left her bag. “Minnie will be a few minutes behind,” she spoke awkwardly."Taehyung needs some time to recover after that ridiculous challenge he foolishly agreed to." Yuna answered calmly, putting on her pants.Emmeline swallowed nervously when

The restaurant was situated in a different wing of the resort, so they didn't need transportation to get there.They sat around a window table and dined quietly for a while until Minnie brightly recounted one of her memories."We spent New Year's Eve last year at my family's resort in Thailand. When we went to the restaurant for dinner, this charming young man kept staring over at our table. My husband thought I was the one he had his eye on, so he went over to warn the guy off."Taehyung gave Minnie's chair a firm kick, the sound of his foot connecting cutting her off abruptly. "Enough of that story, Minnie!"Minnie looked over at her husband before bursting into laughter. "But he ended up flirting with Taehyung instead and asked for his number!"Everyone else at the table joined in the laughter, except for Taehyung whose ears burned red with embarrassment and Zavian who remained calm."He told Tae he was too beautiful to be wasting his time dating women and should seriously consider

The folder trembled in Emmeline’s unsteady hands. "You want me to meet Richard and threaten to expose him?" Her voice quivered. "On my own?"Zavian’s fingers pressed into her shoulders. "My knowledge of your ex-husband tells me he won't stand against this card we're about to play. He'll give up the lawsuit without hesitation, despite his lawyer's advice to the contrary."Emmeline shook her head, fear evident in every movement. "I can't sit before him alone and blackmail him with a secret he's kept from everyone. He won't take this lying down." Panic crept into her voice, making it shake. "He'll kill me."Zavian bent closer until his warm breath caressed her face. "You have me, little girl. He wouldn't dare hurt you knowing that." His voice dropped to a hoarse whisper. "We have to exploit his weakness to our advantage."Emmeline searched for moisture in her bone-dry throat. "Do you think we can't win against him in court without forcing him to concede?""Of course we can defeat Richard

Emmeline rolled her eyes and dropped her hands from his face. "You don't need to remind me every time as if I'm always trying to seduce you. I understand my virginity is necessary to win the court case, and after my meeting with Yuna today, I couldn't possibly do anything to ruin myself."Zavian’s hand settled on her head and ruffled her hair with patronizing affection. "Good girl.""Don't treat me like I'm a little girl," Emmeline protested, knitting her brows together in frustration.The age gap between them had always been a sensitive topic, one that Yuna never failed to bring up during their confrontations.Zavian's warmth disappeared as he stepped away, moving toward the yacht's door with grace.His expensive shoes clicked against the deck. "You are my little girl.” He smirked. "Let's go for a ride. The scenery might lift your mood."Emmeline’s earlier irritation melted away, replaced by genuine excitement. The prospect of spending time with him on the water always had this effec

Emmeline drew in a sharp, shuddering breath."Neither Yuna nor anyone else can destroy me!" The words erupted from Zavian's throat, each syllable carved with steel-edged conviction. His jaw clenched and his muscles there ticked with barely anger. "If you believe her words, then you don't know me at all, little one."Warmth bloomed across Emmeline's tear-stained cheeks.Zavian palms cupped her face. His thumbs traced gentle paths across her skin, catching the tears that continued to fall despite his tender ministrations. The contrast between his fierce words and gentle touch made her heart flutter."She targets you because you're the easiest mark in her eyes," his eyes darkened with protective fury. "I won't let her harm you. Do you understand what I'm saying, Emmeline?"Their gazes locked, and Emmeline felt herself drowning in the depths of his eyes. Even through the tempest of her emotions, she found an anchor in his unwavering stare.The intensity radiating from him was quintessenti

The journey to the port stretched endlessly, yet Emmeline barely registered the passing scenery. Thoughts of Zavian consumed her. He was the only one who could steady her, the only one who could make her feel safe.The soft hum of the yacht’s engine greeted her when Emmeline arrived.She stepped aboard without hesitation, moving with urgency, as if time itself threatened to slip away from her grasp.Zavian’s tall and commanding figure was standing with his back to the door when Emmeline reached the deck.His hands were tucked into the pockets of his slacks and his posture deceptively relaxed. However, Emmeline knew him well enough to see the tension in his shoulders that betrayed his thoughts.“Mr. Blackthorn.” Her voice cracked with emotions.Zavian turned sharply at the sound. His striking features tightened with concern once he saw the state she was in."Little—" His words died in his throat as Emmeline launched herself at him. The impact nearly threw him off balance.Her arms wrap

Emmeline's gaze drifted away from Yuna to a random corner of the coffee shop, where a young couple sat sharing a dessert. Their happiness contrasted with the scene unfolding at her table."I pitied you at first because no one deserves betrayal," she confessed softly, watching the condensation trail down the window. "But my desires were stronger. I used to curse myself after every sin... until I committed one far worse."A sigh escaped Emmeline's lips as she returned her gaze to Yuna's eyes."I’m not a thief," Emmeline’s self-confidence grew stronger with each word. "I did not steal your husband from you because his heart no longer belongs to you. I didn't snatch him from your bosom - he deserted it long ago. I merely crept into the fractures that you created." The words tasted bitter on her tongue, but they carried the weight of truth she could no longer deny.Yuna’s grip tightened around her coffee cup. “Even if you rehearsed your stories together, they wouldn’t match this perfectly.
The Billionaire's Sinful Affair CH.248
Emmeline’s thoughts drifted to Zavian, who had left with Yuna earlier. The image of them walking away together haunted her mind. Her fingers moved across the screen almost unconsciously."Where are you now?"The minutes ticked by without response, each passing moment heightening her anxiety. The silence felt deafening in her room as she watched the unchanging screen. Her desperation seeped through after what felt like an eternity."It's been half an hour since we parted, is it possible that you two are still together?" Emmeline sent another message.Her forehead creased as she stared at the unchanging screen. A bitter realization struck her, prompting another message:"What are you two talking about?"The absurdity of her own actions hit her suddenly. She tossed the phone aside and rolled on her back with fresh tears spilling down her temples."Of course, they're talking about her finding out about us. What else could it be?" Her voice was a fragile whisper, barely breaking the silenc

Emmeline caught a glimpse of Richard’s face through the tinted glass of his BMW as he also peeled away from the courthouse. His smug and self-satisfied smile made her stomach turn."Despicable!" she cursed under her breath. The word seemed inadequate to describe the magnitude of her contempt, but it was all she could manage without breaking down completely.Silence descended on the remaining trio, heavy and oppressive."Are you going to tell me why Mrs. Blackthorn seems to hate you so much?" Emile's question broke the quiet. "Why would she defend Richard after everything she knows about him?" His eyes darted between Emmeline and Brody, searching for answers in their expressions.Emmeline drew a shaky breath. "There's no enmity between us," she murmured. "At least, not that I know of."A bitter laugh escaped her lips. "Maybe she's hated me all along, and I've been too blind to see it."Brody's gaze bore into her, sharp and calculating. "I think there's more to this than you're letting

"Yuna is indeed Richard's lawyer!" Emmeline’s voice cracked, denial weighing down every syllable.She tightened her grip on the strap of her bag so tightly her trembling fingers dug into the leather. It was the only thing keeping her grounded in this moment that felt more like a nightmare than reality.Zavian’s head snapped toward her in disbelief. "What the fuck?" The curse came low and rough, like a growl from deep in his chest.His jaw clenched so tightly that the muscles in his neck stood out.Brody tilted his head slightly as his sharp gaze flicked between them. "Didn’t she tell you she’s defending Richard?" His tone was calm, but there was an edge to it.Zavian let out a bitter laugh—one short and humorless. "Looks like I’m the last one to know." He spoke in a chilly tone.His hands curled into fists at his sides, the veins in his forearms standing out as he fought to keep his anger in check.Emmeline opened her mouth to respond, but Zavian’s attention suddenly shifted.His enti

Yuna’s face darkened and her teeth ground audibly.“Let’s move on to the best part of the recording.” Brody tapped the screen once more before she could protest."The pain I've put you through is nothing compared to the consequences you'll face once I'm free from this place," Richard's voice slithered through the room, venomous and chilling.All eyes turned to Richard, whose face had gone pale. His lips parted, but no words came out.Brody’s expression was sharp with mockery. “Care to explain to us exactly what kind of torment you put her through?”Richard’s hands trembled. “I meant… well, actually…” His words stumbled over each other, collapsing into an awkward silence.Richard looked at Yuna in desperation when his tongue failed him, silently begging for assistance. Despite the damning evidence Brody had just presented, Yuna’s expression remained composed and as solid as stone.“Torture,” Yuna began smoothly, “can mean many things. My client’s words in the recording are vague at bes
