The Billionaire's Undoing [ A Woman's Revenge] Chapter Thirty
A deep voice, none other than Ethan Maddox's, greeted Emma with a simple "Hello, Emma. Ethan Maddox here." Her eyes opened wide as she jolted from her pillow, quickly wiping away any remnants of sleep. She carefully cleared her throat, signaling her attention and concealing her shock.But then, her memory came to her rescue. She had not given her personal number to him, so how was he able to reach her so swiftly?"Hi, I must admit I wasn't anticipating your call, especially since you don't have my number," Emma greeted with a sugary tone, masking her disdain."I have my methods, Emma," Ethan Maddox chuckled, his resonant voice vibrating through the phone. "I couldn't resist reaching out after being so taken by you at the party. Some might say my weakness is lack of patience.""Well, I never realized I was that captivating," Emma jeered, using a sarcastic tone that she knew the older man wouldn't catch onto with his inflated ego.She knew she had every right to retaliate for him obtai

With trembling hand, Lucas retrieved an ultrasound scan that Ivanka had previously shared, before disclosing that the baby was not his. A pang of grief tore through his heart as he ripped the image into shreds, struggling to stem the tears that threatened to escape his eyes.After a brief hesitation, Lucas obtained a third picture from his album - a snapshot of himself, his best friend, and Ivanka, all adorned with smiles. The treachery he had endured at the hands of his confidant and former lover burdened him heavily as he tore apart the photograph, each tear serving as a painful reminder of past hurts and also an absolute healing process he should have started years ago.Compiling the fragmented remains of the photos, Lucas disposed of them in the waste bin adjacent to his desk. Picked one of the shredded papers, lit a fire on it and threw it Into the metal bin, watching the papers burn. He then took a full bottle of whiskey and a glass from the mini bar, pouring himself a generous

She was aware that she may not have access to all of the company's crucial documents, but she would still have enough time to gather the necessary evidence to bring down the company which would be a huge blow to Trevor and his father."Why the hesitation?" Ethan Maddox inquired when Emma zoned out, offering no response. Quickly snapping out of her reverie, Emma forced a smile onto her face."I will resign from my current job then, and begin on Wednesday, if that is suitable for you?" Emma fibbed, not wanting him to know that she had not been employed previously. Ethan reciprocated her smile with a nod."Upon your departure, a copy of the company's employee work document, accompanied by a folder containing all necessary information about the company, will be presented to you. Alternatively, the documents can be signed on Wednesday, as per your request," Ethan smiled at Emma, his taste for seduction evident as he licked his lips while she smoothed down a stray strand of hair."Thank you

Her sobs were met with Lucas's cold, unwavering gaze. "He understood me more than you ever did, Lucas. He's alway there to listen to me, to make me satisfied. I cannot explain it more," Ivanka pleaded, her tears flowing freely, but he remained unconvinced."If that is true, why did you leave? Why not go back to him? Go back to him and continue being satisfied from whatever hunger you have and leave me the hell alone!" Lucas retorted."I know I was wrong, but I must make you understand it wasn't entirely my fault. I want you back, Lucas. I want us to return to our prior state," Ivanka begged, reaching out to touch him, but he recoiled as if avoiding a fiery object."After five years, you come back and still shift the blame onto me, portraying yourself as the victim? I wonder how I never saw through your manipulation. It's a pity I was so blind, now you ' want me back?'" Lucas let out a dry laught and then walked closer to her, "I will be damn to give you access into my life. Listen car

Silent and stupefied, Lucas gazed at Emma. There was something in her voice and the tenderness in her eyes that filled his heart with adoration and admiration for her. This was the moment, the sign he needed to leave all past experience behind and embark on a new beginning with her. "I apologize, Emma. My words were unbecoming and I regret them. I only want you to be safe and not put yourself in harm's way for any reason. I promise to never raise my voice at you or let my emotions get the best of me," Lucas replied, gently taking Emma's interlinked hands and stepping away from the door to embrace her in a hug. He held her tightly for a moment, inhaling her sweet fragrance as he closed his eyes.The captivating aroma of his cologne brought solace to Emma; his embrace gave her a sense of comfort she couldn't explain. As they stood there in each other's arms, Emma realized that she was already lost to him. He had successfully tugged at her heartstrings."How about dinner tomorrow?" Luca

The next word from Ethan maddox halted her completely, with shock, "When may I have the pleasure of having dinner with you, Emma?" Ethan inquired, his unwavering gaze locked with hers.Emma's shocked expression slowly transformed into a wide smile, a nervous buzz coursing through her. She gently pulled away from his grasp, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear in a feigned display of bashfulness. Glancing around the office quickly wanting to avoid Ethan's piercing gaze first, she carefully and calculatively considered her reply."I believe I require some time to adjust to my new position, Mr. Ethan. And I doubt your employees would appreciate knowing about our rendezvous, particularly after the recent dismissal, You don't want rumors of a sex scandal between me and you right?" Emma explained, her mind racing through a variety of excuses she had prepared.Ethan sighed, attempting to sway her. "They need not know, Emma. I can handle our privacy, you don't need to worry about that. And

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 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.

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
