The Billionaire's Undoing [ A Woman's Revenge] Chapter Twelve
Her phone slipped from her grasp and hit the ground with a thud. Lucas rushed to her side, bewildered by her scaring actions. With a worried expression, he grasped her shoulder and a single tear slid down her cheek. "What's the matter, Emma?" Lucas inquired, gently guiding her to the nearby sofa.Emma sniffled as tears continued to fall. "He wants me out of the house. The devil said I have 24 hours to leave," Emma sobbed, burying her face into Lucas's shoulder.Lucas's jaw clenched as the anger that had subsided resurfaced. He already despised Trevor, even though he had yet to meet him. That stupid, fucking asshole.When he returned to find her still crying, he offered her a glass of water, watching as she gulped it down. Her tears seemed unending, and he wished he could take away the pain etched on her face. After what felt like an eternity, exhaustion overtook her and she curled into a ball on the couch, her sobs gradually fading into quiet whimpers.Once he was certain she was deepl

Anxiety surged through Lucas as he fought to control himself. "Not today," he told himself as he stepped back, closing the door behind him. Emma was left speechless, anticipating his next move, if he ever succumbed to his weaknesses. She let out a breath she didn't realize she had been holding. Disappointment washed over her, mingling with the heat pooling between her thighs and the ache in her chest. Her body longed for his touch, something she knew she shouldn't even consider. She yearned to feel his skin against hers, but at the same time, she was grateful he didn't push it. He didn't want her to feel like prey or to take advantage of her, especially since she was still in a fragile state.It was too soon to be entangled in another relationship, especially one that seemed destined to end like her last.At this moment, she craved closure and retribution against the only person she had ever loved and devoted her time to.

"Easy does it, Emma," a familiar voice rang out, halting Emma in her tracks. She turned, her anxiety replaced with surprise upon seeing Lucas standing beside her. She had assumed he had already left after dropping her off, but there he was, an unexpected source of comfort amidst her turmoil. His expression was unreadable, but Emma found solace in his presence nonetheless."Allow me to speak with the guards," Lucas offered, his voice steady and reassuring. Emma nodded, her breath catching in her throat as she closed her eyes, determined to remain composed. She couldn't shake off the shame of being evicted and having Lucas witness it, but she was grateful that he had stayed by her side once again. She took a moment to collect herself, taking deep breaths in an attempt to calm the rising panic within her before dialing her phone.With each ring, Emma's anxiety grew, her heart pounding in her ears like a relentless drumbeat. The first ring ended, and Trevor's familiar voice suggested she

As the chaos subsided, Ivanka's eyes fell upon the familiar figure holding Emma against his body, preventing her from further engaging in a fight. Her shock was evident as she recognized the person - "Lu... Lucas?" Her voice trembled, conveying the shock in her tone as she took a step back.Feeling a wave of shame and remorse, Ivanka averted her eyes from an angry Emma who was still fixing her hair and clothes, to Lucas, whose expression mirrored hers.Lucas snapped out of his daze, meeting Ivanka's gaze with a mix of indescribable emotions. The sadness of knowing that Ivanka may have provoked Emma to fight with her settled on him, causing him to look at Emma and then back at Ivanka with a blank, motionless expression."What... What are you doing here?" Ivanka stammered, swallowing hard as she looked up at Lucas, who now had a pitying and disgusted look on his face.Their eyes locked, silently exchanging memories and unspoken questions which didn't go unnoticed by Emma. Lucas's expres

Lucas let out a heavy sigh, a mixture of sorrow and regret painting his features. "It was supposed to be the happiest moment of my life," he began, his voice barely above a whisper. "I thought my dream of starting a family with her was finally coming true. But then everything fell apart. I never could have imagined the nightmare that followed," he finished, a hint of bitterness tainting his words.Emma reached out to him, her expression filled with sympathy. "You don't have to talk about it if it's too difficult," she offered kindly. She couldn't stand seeing him in pain and didn't want to add to it by pressing for details.Lucas looked up at her, a small, sad smile on his lips. "It wasn't my child, like she said it was," he revealed, his voice laced with disappointment. "I later found out she was sleeping with my best friend. The baby I was eagerly waiting for, excited to become a father, wasn't mine.""OMG, Lucas, I'm so sorry," Emma gasped, her eyes filled with shock and sympathy.

As their meal progressed, Lucas pondered the manner in which he would deliver his spontaneous inquiry, his nerves on edge at the possibility of Emma's response. Yet, as he observed her relishing each flavorful bite, he knew there was no better moment to pose his burning question."Would you care to join me for a sightseeing excursion tomorrow?" Lucas inquired, turning to gauge Emma's reaction.Emma, who had been on the verge of taking a sip of her juice, halted and directed her attention towards him. "Tomorrow? But won't you be working?" she questioned, finally taking a long and satisfying sip.Lucas nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders, "As the CEO, I have the freedom to work at any time I choose. Besides, it's Saturday tomorrow. What better way to spend the weekend than by going out and exploring?" he posited confidently.Emma couldn't help but agree with his logic. It had been far too long since she had enjoyed a day out, with no time to spend with Trevor or even for herself. She ha

Lucas greeted her with a charming smile, swiftly retrieving his sunglasses from the breast pocket of his shirt and placing them on his face. He confidently led the way through the bustling streets, exuding a devastatingly handsome aura.As they walked, Emma unintentionally caught a glimpse of their reflection in a car window parked by the side of the road. She couldn't help but smile at the sight of them. They looked like any other couple out on a date. Her heart fluttered happily as Lucas turned to her, his breathtaking smile captivating her."Shall we go on?" he asked."Just a moment, Lucas," Emma replied, unable to tear her eyes away from their reflection. "Okay, let's go," she finally responded with a smile.They continued their walk, chatting and laughing as they pointed out things that caught their attention. Lucas never once let go of her hand, and Emma couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment.As they strolled along, Emma spotted her favorite ice cream parlor at the corne

The moment Luca's mouth came crashing on hers, Emma felt a fiery sensation gripped every part of her body, making her knees go weak.She had never felt this before, not even with trevor, it felt as though a new world of sensation had been opened to her, she felt Luca's tongue gaining entrace into her mouth, kissing, licking, searching and dominating her.Emma closed her eyes, her arms curled around his neck as she returned his kisses with thesame passion, their tongues foughy for dominance leaving them breathless.As the kiss came to an end, Lucas lifted his head with a smirk that held an insatiable hunger in his eyes and below his waist. He casually pocketed his hand in the front of his jeans, adjusting himself to make room for his growing arousal. Looking around, he suggested, "Let's go further. There's a museum nearby. But first, let's grab something to eat. I'm famished."With all eyes on them, they continued their stroll until reaching a small restaurant. The perfect spot for a lo

Emma clenched her hands in her lap, her knuckles white. She glanced at Lucas, who gave her a reassuring nod. "You can do this," he mouthed.After what felt like an eternity, it was time for the verdict. The judge's voice was firm, unyielding. "Mario Rodriguez, you are sentenced to a total of fifty years in prison for the rape of Kathy Callum, for human trafficking, drug trafficking, money laundering, and aiding murders. You will be eligible for parole after twenty five years."The courtroom buzzed with murmurs, but Emma barely heard them.

Emma felt the warm trickle of blood running down the side of her face where the gun had struck her. The metallic scent filled her nostrils as she looked up at Mr. Mario. His grip on her face was ironclad, his face mere inches from hers. His breath was hot and reeked of cigarettes as he hissed, “Don’t make me kill you, Emma. Don’t tempt me.”His voice was low and menacing, and Emma could feel the vibration of his words against her skin. She knew she was probably making the worst decision of her life, but it was the only thing she could think of. With a sudden, desperate resolve, she lunged forward and sank her teeth into his nose. She bit down hard, the taste of blood flooding her mouth, and pulled with all her might until she felt the flesh tear awayMr. Mario’s scream pierced the air, raw and filled with agony.

Emma slowly sat back down in a chair. She took a deep breath and opened the file. Inside, she found a set of documents. As she scanned the pages, her eyes landed on the title: "Dissolution of Betrothal Contract." Her heart pounded as she saw Morgan’s signature at the bottom.Her mind reeled.

His lips curled into a sneer. "I'm going to win my case tomorrow. And when I get out, Emma, I'll make sure you pay. I'll kill you, and before that, I'll have my way with you. Brutally. You'll regret everything. You should have stopped when you had the chance."Emma's smile didn't waver, but inside, a shiver ran down her spine. She steadied herself, refusing to let him see any weakness. She knew the case was too good for him to win it. "We'll see about that, Ethan Maddox. How pitiful it is, the once powerful Maddox, stuck in a jail cell." She stood up, adjusting her coat with deliberate grace.As the guards moved to take him away, Ethan's expression shifted, a malicious glint in his eye. "Watch your back, Emma. Mario is still out there, and he's planning something big."Emma paused, her heart skipping a beat, but she didn't turn around. She walked out of the room, the echo of Ethan's words trailing after her.With Mario still roaming out there, she knew everything was truly far from ov

"Cookies or a sandwich?" Emma asked.Tina picked cookies without hesitation. Emma retrieved a pack from the pantry and placed a few on a plate, setting it on the counter next to where they would soon sit with their hot drinks.The kettle began to whistle, steam escaping from its spout as Emma poured the hot water into two waiting mugs filled with cocoa mix. The rich aroma of chocolate filled the air.They sat down at the kitchen table, the silence heavy between them as they sipped their drinks. The warmth of the hot chocolate seeped through Emma's fingers, temporarily soothing her senses.After they finished their drinks and Tina left, Emma returned to the living room. The fatigue of the day washed over her, and she settled onto the couch, her thoughts wandering to Lucas.Hours later, the sound of the front door opening roused Emma from her doze. She blinked sleepily, glancing at the clock—it was a little past seven. Lucas entered the room.He settled beside her on the couch, leaning o

The lady sighed deeply, her shoulders slumping as she collapsed onto the edge of the bed. "Maybe you weren't convincing enough," she suggested. "You should have worn the other more revealing red dress. And maybe you sounded pushy..."Her words faded into the background as Morgan's anger reached a boiling point. With a sudden, ferocious movement, she stood up and crossed the room in two quick strides. Grabbing the lady by the front of her shirt, she lifted her off the bed and slammed her against the nearby wall. The impact sent a dull thud through the room."If you want to pass blame on me for your stupid plans not working," Morgan hissed through gritted teeth, her face inches from the lady's, "you're not going to like how it ends for you."The lady's eyes widened in shock and fear. Her breath came in shallow, rapid bursts. As Morgan's grip tightened momentarily before letting go, the lady slid down the wall, her legs weak beneath her. She straightened herself slowly, smoothing out her

Upstairs, Lucas leaned back in his leather chair, the phone pressed to his ear. Morgan's voice echoed through the line, breaking the silence."We need to see Lucas. It's urgent," Morgan's tone was urgent.Lucas frowned, his brow furrowing. "See me for what?" he asked, his voice guarded.There was a brief pause on the other end of the line before Morgan replied, "About Ethan Maddox. There's been a breakthrough, and I thought you should know."Lucas's grip tightened on the phone. Ethan Maddox. He inhaled sharply."Why are you trying to help me?" Lucas's voice was low, contemplative. "It feels like there's more to this than just the case."A soft chuckle came through the line, warm and unexpectedly genuine. "Yes, Lucas," Morgan admitted, her tone unguarded. "I have my reasons. I want you to warm up to me, and if helping with this case will achieve that, then I'm willing to take the risk. I'm really sorry about yesterday, I shouldn't have done that. It's been years, and I should have allo

"This is one of the disk file you gave to us, we would like to watch it with you," the police officer stated and Mrs Veronica nodded.The screen showed a dimly lit kitchen. Mrs. Maria was gagged and tied on the floor, her eyes wide with fear. Ethan Maddox was pacing around, his face twisted in anger, his mouth moving rapidly as he shouted. Although there was no sound, the rage in his body language was unmistakable. Mrs. Maria seemed to be pleading, shaking her head in desperation.The scene escalated quickly.

Emma inhaled sharply, not expecting what she had just heard. "Does the phone contain information that could help?" She asked and the woman nodded.Emma glanced at Lucas, whose eyes were distant and unfocused, lost in thought.Lucas suddenly stood up from the worn-out couch, his expression resolute. "This is what we're going to do," he said, his voice steady. He ran a hand through his tousled hair, a sign of the stress they were under.Emma watched as he began to pace. "I'm going to call the police, and you're going to speak to them," he continued, "They'll come here and find everything exactly as it is. But this time, we'll take pictures and leak them to the public. That way, they can't cover anything up, especially with the FBI involved." He glanced at the woman, whose eyes widened slightly, a mix of fear in her gaze."We need to make sure they can't hide this," Lucas explained. "You're going to tell them you've been attacked and that you have information they need. When they're clos
