"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?
View MoreIn just five minutes, the audience was already at a climax. After the performance, there were still people shouting "Encore!" and calls for more resounded. The bandmates who were about to step down looked at each other, and finally, their eyes fell on Emily's face. Emily smiled, knowing why they were looking at her. "Why not?"She went back to the drum stand, picked up her drumsticks, and for another twenty minutes, the band entertained the club, giving it their best. It was only after 20 minutes that the four of them came down from the stage. They had never been so passionate in the past ten years. Dave was still unsatisfied. "At this stage, I think we can form a band and make a debut. That was brilliant!" Emily took the warm water from Colin's hand and glanced at Dave. "You won't say that when we do debut." With Dave, one couldn't deny that she was into music and bass guitar. However, should they really debut and were straitja
FLASHBACKLooking at Emily's back, Veronica was so angry that she wanted to catch up with her, but she was stopped by Hunter.She turned to look at Hunter. "Brother?"Hunter looked at her with eyes so cold she was scared. "Don't mess with her."Veronica wanted to argue, but when she looked up and saw Hunter's eyes, she froze for a moment and then frowned. Why would Hunter be defending his ex over his own sister? "She was the one who hit me..."Hunter loosened his grip and raised his head to look at Emily, who was already at the door. He frowned slightly. In just three months, she had become a rebel. And he didn't know why, but this Emily was fascinating. Emily on the other hand, kept moving forward until she got in the car. She didn't even look back at the person behind her. As Pete said, it was not worth it.Dave, who had come to pick Emily up at the dinner glanced at her when she entered the car and remained quiet. After getting into the car, Emily did not say a word. Instead, she t
The loud noise from inside the First Star club had reached Hunter before he could enter it. He hated clubs because of the atmosphere, but he hated the noise the most, and the din inside the club was exactly what contaminated his ears.Pete, who had dragged Hunter along, just wanted to see what the well-known Summer Band could do and wait for Hunter to see the amazing change of his ex-wife on the stage.In the beginning, Emily's friend, brimming with confidence, had said something excitedly. Pete snorted thinking,“Bro, you have normal features, maybe you're a little good-looking, but what's with the shameless attitude on stage?”No sooner had the stage opened than Pete was made to eat his own words! Maybe he had been a little quick to judge the guy, because from what he was seeing and listening to, the boy had talent!He used to be a hot-blooded youth, and though he was old now - no, mature - it did not mean that he'd had no dreams when he was young.The four people on the stage were
While Emily was still boiling with anger about what had happened, she was dragged by Dave to the First Star. She wouldn't have gone if it had been someone else, but it was Dave's birthday, so she tried to put the Thornes out of her mind.Dave was still a party king and it was clear that he was also a regular at First Star. There were many people, and almost all of them knew each other given the exclusivity of First Star's members.After dinner, Emily began to prepare for the party. Not a partygoer, her clothes were expensive, but not fabulous. She was wearing a black blouse with a slim, striped suit. She wore a pair of seven-centimetre high heels under her black trousers. She looked every inch a professional and less the celebrant's friend. Dave was going to be incensed, she chuckled.Inside the club, Emily removed
After the dinner, Emily stayed back after the others had left. When the dinner was over, she and her secretary turned and went to the restroom.Hunter quietly watched as Emily stood up, getting ready to go to the restroom, when she noticed him staring, he looked away expressionlessly and walked out.Joseph followed Hunter out, carefully trying not to let Hunter even hear him breathing. He had noticed the effect Emily and anything about her had on Hunter and he didn’t think he wanted to face his anger.Of all the things that could happen, Emily whom they were searching everywhere for, had just appeared in front of them tonight as the manager of the Prosperity Corp. And not only was she really different from the Emily Thorne, Joseph had known, she was now confident.
The love story of the second son of the Thorne family and his sister-in-law had been on the Internet for three days. Those who had laughed at Emily for being over-confident and wanting to get rich by marrying a wealthy man were now the ones defending her online.Mrs. Thorne had ordered Hunter to find Emily even if he had to dig three feet into the ground to get her to stop the scandal. However, Joseph had tried every means but still could not find where Emily had gone after leaving New York City.As for Emily's personal account on Instagram, except for the apology message she sent on the day she left, all the previous posts had been deleted, and no other posts had been sent after that.The picture along with the apology was a divorce certificate of Emily and Hunter. Every day, more and more people got on Emily's Ins
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
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! This is the best news I've heard since forever! It's so good! From now on, you're a single beautiful girl! Emily, do you think we should go have fun tonight?"Emily shook her head. "No, I ha
When Emily Stephens arrived at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, it was exactly 8:55 am. There were already many people lining up at the window on the other side to get a marriage certificate. She was the only one on the side to get a divorce.It was not yet nine o'clock. Hunter had not come yet.As soon as it was nine o'clock, the window of the Civil Affairs Bureau for divorcing was opened on time.Emily looked at her phone impatiently. Hunter wasn't a person who liked to be late, but he was late that day.At exactly 9:15 when Emily became so sure he wouldn't be present and was about to go, she saw Hunter walking in from outside the door.As usual, he wore a dark blue suit and leather shoes and completed the look wit
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...
