"I never thought I'd see you as anything but mine, but now I can't look away," Hunter Thorne murmured. Emily smiled, "Too bad, I can never be yours again." When Emily Thorne is falsely accused of a crime, she makes a decision: she's getting a divorce, and reclaiming her identity and status. Hunter Thorne, ever the aloof billionaire, seems relieved by the separation. But as Emily steps into her role as a powerful CEO, something stirs within Hunter—a longing he didn't expect. But there's the threat of the Thornes, who will stop at nothing to destroy Emily and bring her down. As he watches Emily thrive in her newfound power and independence, Hunter’s once-cold heart begins to beat with a rhythm he can't ignore. Is it too late for him to reclaim the woman he never truly appreciated? And as Emily navigates her own path, will she find room for the man who has humbled himself for a second chance? But there's the ever-present threat of the Thorne family, who will stop at nothing to ruin Emily, even if it means her death. In this high-stakes romance, two worlds collide. As Emily and Hunter's worlds collide, over and over again, they must decide if their love is a thing of the past—or if their story is just beginning. The stakes are higher than ever, and with every revelation, the line between love and loss blurs, leaving them both wondering: Can they truly move on, or will the embers of their past reignite into something far more dangerous?

Chapter 1: I'm done, let's get a divorce

Hunter strode into his office, angry, tired and frustrated with the world and a particular woman. He hadn't slept throughout the night and now he was staring at his secretary's seat, empty where Emily should have been. He had thought she would crawl back to him as she always did. But three days after her disappearing stunt he still hadn't heard anything from her. He had been sure that she would be back, crying and begging for his forgiveness as she always did. But now, she was proving different and he did not like it, Emily was becoming someone he did not know. But How dare she? He thought angrily. After trying to kill Carla, killing his unborn nephew and almost injuring his mother, she thought she could go scout-free, doing anything she could and thinking she could get away with it. Or did she think he would come chasing after her just because she walked out of his house? Well, if that was her plan, he would prove her terribly wrong. No one offended the Thorne family and went scot

Chapter 2: The Beginning

Three days earlier… “Atish!!!” Emily shook badly again. She had sneezed so hard she was sure that her cheek would start bleeding again. The cold, coupled with the fact that she was wearing a sleeveless dinner gown which was certainly not intended to be worn in Winter without a coat. Around Emily, the Thorne servants scurried about as they went about their separate business. Some were preparing the house for dinner, others were busy providing whatever the doctors asked for. Not even the head doctor had spared her a glance even though he had known her for the three years she had been part of the family. Still, he was never her doctor - - no one considered Emily good enough to warrant an expensive doctor. Emily had been a member of the Thorne family for three years, but she might as well be less regarded than Hunter’s sister's cat. She was nothing close to Carla, Hunter's sister-in-law. Unlike his hatred for Emily, Hunter loved Carla much more than anything in the world. An hour ag

Chapter 3: Free From My Toxic Home

Hunter's mother was pacing in the main hall when Emily more or less hobbled there, still aching from her wounds. In the room was Veronica, Hunter's sister who was already glaring at her, Hunter who was angrily looking anywhere except at her and Antoine Thorne, Hunter's mother herself, and the family's matriarch, Antoine Thorne. If Emily had any illusions that someone in the family was going to listen to her and save her, she knew how impossible it was now. She missed Hunter's father, if he had been there, she would have been rest assured that he would save her. But now... Antoine Thorne had never been one to smile, but the look on her face now was terrible enough to curdle the blood of a demon, never mind those demons never had blood. Her perfectly made-up face was drawn up in a snarl, that would have stopped Emily in her tracks if the slap hadn’t from Carla hadn't. “You evil bitch! How dare you try to kill my sister-in-law out of envy? Just because you can’t have a child doesn’t me

Chapter 4: Uh, Oh

Dave was staring at Emily, “Are you okay, you look pale, is it Hunter? Did something happen to him? Why are you dressed like this in the cold? Bestie, please say something.” When Emily had walked out of the Thorne mansion with nothing, not even her phone, she hadn’t been thinking of anything except that she had to get away before she killed someone, which would most likely be herself. However, she was there, standing on the road, barefooted and cold with no phone or clothing or even her books. So, when she saw a teenage girl riding her bicycle, she had no choice but to beg to use the girl’s phone to call the only person in the world who she could trust, Dave. And now he was here, looking concernedly at her as though she wasn’t the same girl who had abandoned him for three years. How stupid was she to think that abandoning her life, her family and her friends would make her more acceptable to the Thornes? “Dave, I’m okay, I just needed someone and the only one that came to mind was

Chapter 5: Sign the Damn Paper, please

Luckily, Emily had only been weak from the cold and the wounds. When Emily first opened her eyes in the hospital, the sterile white room felt more like a prison than a place of healing. Her body ached, but it was the weight on her heart that was truly unbearable. She lay there, motionless, listening to the hushed whispers of the nurses as they discussed her. The words cut deep, each one a reminder of the twisted narrative that had been spun against her. Her hand instinctively went to her stomach, feeling the bandages, and she knew that nothing would ever be the same. "But how evil could she be to kill a little fetus because of envy?" one of the nurses asked, hissing contemptuously. "You know how wicked poor people can be." The other nurse spat, not knowing that the person they were talking about had been listening to them. "Imagine her doing that to them after they took her in and made her who she is today. People can be so ungrateful." Tears rushed into Emily's eyes. They didn’t k

Chapter 6: Home

Hunter tossed the document back on the table, and laughed bitterly,“Not a single penny? Who does she suddenly think she is?”Well, did she think he was going to divorce her just because she asked for it, she was joking?……..When Joseph came in, Hunter was standing in front of his glass walls overlooking the city, a cigarette in his hand and the divorce agreement burning in the trash can. Joe’s heart skipped, left him, this was a dangerous time to approach Hunter, but if he didn’t let him know about the meeting, he might as well lose his job.“Sir, the meeting has already commenced, and the directors are waiting.”Hunter turned, and glared at Joe with his dark eyes, so cold they sent chills down Joe’s spine, but instead of yelling at him or flinging a book or anything he could lay his hands on at Joe, Hunter simply snarled at him,“I’ll be with them shortly.”Frowning, he broke the cigarette, threw it into the same trash can where the remains of the divorce agreement were still burni

Chapter 7: You Don't Mean Anything to Me

“Dad, once I finish wrapping up and settling everything here, I’ll come home.”On the other end of the line, Mr Stephens felt the lump in his throat become bigger. From her voice, he could tell that she had been crying.“Okay, Lex. Your mother and I will be waiting for you at home. And Lex?”“Yes, dad?”“I’m sorry, Lex. I never should've abandoned you.”Hanging up the phone, Emily covered her face in her palms. She was already an adult, but here was she, making her parents worry about her still, after she had caused them many heartaches. All because she had decided to follow Hunter.Dave took the phone back and waited quietly while Emily continued to cry, more openly now that she had needed the call.Five minutes later, Emily calmed down, took the tissue Dave had earlier offered, used it to wipe her tears and asked in a hoarse voice,“Can I borrow the social media account of your cousin’s company?”Star Entertainment Network (Sen) was owned by Dave's cousin, Francis Stern, and to prom

Chapter 9: Revenge?

When Emily returned to Dave's apartment, Dave was already wide awake. He stood behind the door and looked at her excitedly."How was it? Have you gotten a divorce? Can you show me the divorce certificate? Did the B"*stard come? "He had been looking forward to Emily's divorce from Hunter. Seeing him like this, Emily couldn't help but smile. She took out the divorce certificate from her bag and gave it to him."Chill guy, I'm divorced."When Dave saw the divorce certificate, he almost cried. "Finally!

Chapter 10: Time for Truth

The news reached Hunter in no time. After watching the video clip of what had happened that night, he sat there with a cold expression on his face and did not say a word for a long time.An hour after the incident, after hours of searching, someone found Emily's Instagram account, with all the posts deleted, leaving only a message she had posted an hour ago: I'm sorry, I was wrong.Emily had apologized as he wished, but it was a little ironic and ridiculous now in view of all the things that had been revealed.Joseph stood in front of Hunter's desk. After he finished speaking, he kept his head down, scared to look at Hunter and see the anger that he must have been feeling.The atmosphere in the office was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe. Hunter's face was literally covered with frost, and his black eyes were as dark as the sky before a heavy rain."Get rid of the news within half an hour!"Joe froze for a moment. "But sir, we can't remove it.""What do you mean you can't rem
