The billionaire Tyrant Chapter Twenty-six
As the sun went down the horizon. Emma and Leo continued to stand there, their gazes locked as the tension between them set and flowed like the waves at their feet. Emma’s mind raced, the echoes of James’s words ringing in her ears. She had spent years burying the guilt of how things had ended with James, convincing herself it was the only choice she could make to save her mother. But now, seeing him again, all those emotions came rushing back. “Emma,” Leo said softly, breaking the silence. “Let’s head back.” She hesitated, looking out at the ocean. “I just need a minute,” she said. “I’ll catch up with you.” Leo’s forehead furrowed, his protective instincts clearly warring with his desire to give her space. Finally, he nodded. “Don’t take too long.” He gave her hand a gentle squeeze before turning and heading back toward the villa. As Leo’s figure disappeared down the beach, Emma let out a long breath. The events of the day played over and over in her mind—Leo’s possessiveness

As the sun rose in the sky, Emma made a silent promise to herself. She would find a way to confront her past, to make peace with her choices. And no matter what happened, she would do it on her own terms.Early morning, as the golden light stretched over the beach. Emma stood with Isabella, her mind wrestling with questions she had buried for years. The crashing of the waves felt like the only steady rhythm in her otherwise chaotic thoughts. She turned to Isabella, who remained quiet, her gaze focused on the sea as though it held answers neither of them could find. Emma wanted to believe that she could make peace with her choices, but the lingering weight of James’s words and Leo’s growing tension made that feel impossible. “What if I can’t make peace with it?” Emma finally asked, breaking the silence. Isabella gave her a sidelong glance, her expression softening. “Then you face it, Emma. Head-on. Running from the past never works—it always catches up with you eventually.” Emm

As he left the room, Emma sank onto the bed, her head in her hands. The room was quiet as James left, the sound of the door clicking shut reverberating in Emma’s ears. She sat quietly on the bed, her mind spinning. James’s words lingered to her thoughts like mist that refused to lift. "You don’t owe him your happiness." Emma shook her head as if she could physically dislodge the thought. She pushed herself off the bed and walked to the balcony.. As the wind ruffled her hair, her phone buzzed on the table. She hesitated before picking it up, seeing her mother’s name flash across the screen. For a moment, Emma considered ignoring the call. She wasn’t ready to hear her mother’s voice—too many memories, too much guilt. But then, guilt had been her constant companion for years, so what difference would one more conversation make? She answered. “Hi, Mom.” “Oh, Emma!” her mother exclaimed, her voice warm but tinged with longing. “I was beginning to think you’d forgotten about m

As she turned and walked away, the weight that had pressed on her chest for so long began to lift. The room was quiet as Emma stood in front of the mirror, brushing her hair. She could feel the tension in the air, and the pressure that weighed on her chest. Leo’s words from the day before still echoed in her mind. "You aren’t leaving anywhere. You are mine." The possessiveness in his tone had both terrified and enraged her. Leo was a man who valued control, arrogant and full of himself. But that didn’t mean she was willing to live in a gilded cage. A knock at the door startled her out of her thoughts. “Emma, can I come in?” Isabella’s voice was soft but cautious. Emma hesitated before answering. “Sure.” Isabella stepped in, her expression unreadable. She carried two cups of coffee, offering one to Emma. “I figured you could use this to calm your nerves,” she said. Emma accepted the cup, wrapping her hands around it. “Thanks.” Isabella sat on the edge of the bed, watch

As she walked upstairs to her room, she felt a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos. It wasn’t over, but it was a start. The car ride was thick with silence, punctuated only by the steady hum of the engine. She stared out the window, watching the scenery. Her chest tightened at the thought of seeing her mother again, but the tension between her and Leo was impossible to ignore. Leo sat in the driver’s seat, his hands gripping the wheel tightly. His jaw was set, and his eyes stayed fixed on the road ahead. There was no music playing, no casual conversation to lighten the mood. The air between them was suffocating. Finally, Emma couldn’t take it anymore. “How long are we going to wait for your driver Richard?” she asked, her voice quieter than she intended. “An hour,” Leo replied curtly, not bothering to glance her way. Emma bit her lip, her frustration bubbling. She could sense his anger from the night before, and it felt like a ticking bomb waiting to go off. She couldn’t let it

As she looked out the window, watching Leo pace close to Richard. Emma made a silent vow to herself. She would find a way to reclaim her life—no matter what it took.Emma sat on the edge of her mother’s couch, staring at the coffee table. The room was quiet now, as her mother moved about in the kitchen. She felt drained, her emotions frayed from the weight of her confrontation with Leo. The front door opened, and Emma instinctively turned her head. Leo stepped back in, his presence filling the small room. His dark eyes locked on hers, unreadable. She braced herself, preparing for another argument, but he surprised her by walking past without a word, heading toward the staircase that led to the guest room.“Running away, as usual,” Emma muttered under her breath.Leo frozed, then slowly turned to face her. “Excuse me?”Emma stood, her legs trembling but her voice steady. “You heard me. Every time things get hard, you shut down and leave me to deal with the fallout. I’m sick of it, Leo

As Richard drove them the tension between them began to ease, replaced by a fragile but genuine hope. It wasn’t a perfect resolution, but it was a start. And for now, that was enough. The events of the past few days hit her like a heavy fog, and though they have given each other a second chance.The tension between them felt like a living thing, pressing against the walls of the car. They’d said they wanted to work on their marriage but the space between them was still uncharted.The silence became unbearable. Emma shifted in her seat, glancing at Leo. “You’re quiet,” she said, her voice tentative.He didn’t look at her, keeping his eyes on the road. “Just... thinking.”“About?” she prompted, folding her hands in her lap.He hesitated, his jaw tightening. “About everything. About us. About how to fix what I’ve broken.”Emma sighed, leaning her head against the window. The passing fields blurred into streaks of green. “It’s not just you, Leo. We’ve both made mistakes. This isn’t about

As the morning broke down. Emma and Leo lay close to each other. For the first time in weeks, Emma woke up feeling a sense of peace. She turned her head to look at Leo, who was still sleeping. His face was relaxed, the worry lines that had etched themselves into his brow softened by the tranquility of sleep.A small smile on her lips. This was the man she had given her virginity to because of money years ago—the man she knew as her friend's ex husband, someone who is so arrogant, angry, and possessive.Slipping quietly out of bed, Emma padded to the bathroom. The cold tile floor sent a shiver up her spine, but it was refreshing.She stared at her reflection in the mirror, taking in the tired eyes, the hair tousled from sleep, and the faint smile that still lingered on her lips. For the first time in a long while, she didn’t hate what she saw.As she brushed her teeth and washed her face, her thoughts drifted to the day ahead. She returned to the bedroom, Leo was stirring.

The billionaire Tyrant Chapter Hundred
The morning came quietly, with the first light spilling through the windows like a gentle invitation. Thomas woke up,for a moment, he stayed in bed, watching Emma as she slept. Her face was peaceful, framed by the soft tangle of her hair. He didn’t want to disturb her. Rising carefully, he dressed and stepped out into the hallway. The house was still and calm. He passed Lily’s room, peeking in to find her sprawled across her bed.Her small snores made him smile. In the living room Thomas sat on the couch savoring the quiet place.These moments had become precious to him, a time to breathe before the day unfolded. Something caught his eye: a picture of three figures standing under a tree, holding hands. A sun and a smiling cloud hovered above them. At the bottom, in wobbly letters, she had written, “My family”. Thomas picked up the drawing, his chest tightening with emotion. This simple piece of art felt like a reflection of everything they’d built together. “Daddy?” Lily’s voi

Thomas stood by the window in the living room, watching the sun climb higher into the sky. The light danced on the glass, and for a moment, he felt a calmness settle deep inside him. Emma appeared, carrying pancake. She handed one to him and leaned against the window frame, gazing outside. “It’s a beautiful day,” she said, her voice gentle. Thomas nodded, taking a sip. “It is. Feels like a good day for something simple.” Emma glanced at him, her lips curving into a soft smile. “Something simple? What did you have in mind?” “Nothing planned,” he admitted. “Maybe just letting the day unfold, spending it with you and Lily.” Emma tilted her head thoughtfully. “I like that idea.” From the hallway, Lily’s voice called out, breaking the quiet. “Mommy, Daddy! Can we have pancakes for breakfast?” Emma chuckled, pushing off the window frame. “Guess that’s how we’ll start.” Thomas followed her to the kitchen, where Lily was already dragging a chair to the counter. Her hair was

The air in the house was soft and warm, filled with the quiet hum of everyday life. Thomas sat in his study, the faint scratching of his pen on paper the only sound breaking the stillness. He wasn’t working on contracts or plans tonight. Instead, he was writing a letter a habit he’d taken up recently. There was something grounding about the simplicity of writing by hand, capturing thoughts with ink. He leaned back, reading over the lines. The words felt honest, reflecting the steady gratitude he’d grown to carry each day. Folding the letter, he tucked it into his notebook and set it aside. The clock on the wall showed it was nearing Lily’s bedtime. Thomas rose, stretching as he made his way to the living room. Emma was curled up on the couch, a book in her hands. Her hair was pulled back loosely, and she looked up with a smile when he walked in. “Finished your writing?” she asked, closing her book. Thomas nodded, settling beside her. “For now. How’s your story coming along?”

The days that followed were calm, a welcome change from the whirlwind Thomas and his family had endured. The quiet felt foreign at first, as if the tension of recent weeks still lingered in the air. Yet, with each passing day, Thomas allowed himself to lean into the stillness. Morning sunlight spilled through the office windows as Thomas sat at his desk, a steaming cup of hot coffee in hand. His schedule was mercifully light, leaving him with time to catch up on work that had been neglected. Greg knocked softly before stepping inside. “Morning, Thomas. Thought I’d check in.” Thomas gestured for him to sit. “Morning. Everything good on your end?” Greg nodded, handing over a file. “Security reports, just routine checks. No issues to note.” Thomas flipped through the pages, scanning the concise updates. He closed the file and set it aside. “Thanks, Greg. Let’s keep the protocols steady for now, but I think we can start scaling back gradually.” “Will do,” Greg said, standing

The days rolled on, quieter now, yet Thomas couldn't shake the feeling that peace was fragile. Isabella’s note replayed in his mind, each word sharp and deliberate. Her sudden retreat didn’t sit well, but he wanted to believe it was genuine. That morning, the office buzzed with routine energy, a stark contrast to the tension that had dominated in recent weeks. Thomas stood by the window, the city stretched out before him. His reflection in the glass mirrored his unease. “Thomas,” Greg’s voice broke through his thoughts. “You’ve got a moment?” Turning, Thomas waved him in. Greg carried a file, his expression unreadable. “Still nothing from Isabella,” Greg began, setting the file on the desk. “But there’s a small issue we need to discuss. It’s probably unrelated, but I’d rather not dismiss it outright.” Thomas frowned, flipping open the file. Inside were photographs of security footage of a woman entering a building downtown. Her face was obscured by shadows, but the resemblan

The next few days passed without any sign of Isabella, and for the first time in a while, Thomas allowed himself a moment to breathe. He had taken every precaution, ensuring that his family and company were protected. Security was on high alert, and the team had strict instructions to report any unusual activity. Thomas sat in his office, reviewing reports, when Greg walked in with an update. “Morning, Thomas,” Greg said, holding a small envelope. “This just came in for you.” Thomas frowned, taking the envelope. It was plain, with no return address. He opened it carefully, pulling out a handwritten note. The message was brief: I’ve decided to leave. You’ve made yourself clear. Best of luck to you and your family. It was signed simply, Isabella.Thomas stared at the note, his jaw tightening. He handed it to Greg, who read it quickly. “Do you think she means it?” Greg asked. Thomas leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the desk. “It’s hard to say. Isabella’s un

Thomas sat in his car outside the office for a moment before heading inside. His encounter with Isabella had left him rattled, and the tension in his chest hadn't eased. He clenched the steering wheel tightly, replaying their conversation in his mind. There was something off about her, something unsettling. After taking a deep breath, he stepped out of the car and made his way to the office. The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the building as he entered. The usual hum of activity greeted him, but it felt distant, muffled by the weight of his thoughts. Greg was waiting for him near his office. “She left, but I doubt it’s the last we’ll see of her,” Greg said grimly. Thomas nodded. “We need to keep an eye on this. Let security know she’s not allowed in without my approval.” “Understood,” Greg replied. “Do you think she’s after something specific?” Thomas frowned. “It’s too soon to tell, but I don’t trust her motives. Make sure the team knows to stay alert.” Gre

Thomas woke up early the next morning, the pale light of dawn spilling through the curtains. He lay still for a moment, staring at the ceiling, his mind heavy with thoughts about Isabella. The day before had stirred memories he’d long pushed away, but now they refused to leave him. Emma shifted beside him, still asleep, her breathing soft and even. He glanced over at her peaceful face and sighed quietly. He hated the idea of dragging her into something she hadn’t asked for, but there was no way around it.Slipping out of bed carefully, he made his way to the kitchen. The house was quiet as he put on the kettle, the faint hum of the appliance filling the space. He poured himself a cup of coffee and sat at the table, hands wrapped around the warm mug. His thoughts wandered back to Isabella. Why had she resurfaced? What did she want from his family or his company? It didn’t sit right. He had seen her kind before people who created trouble and disappeared, only to return when it suited th

Thomas sat at his desk, the soft hum of his office as background noise. The morning had been busy with meetings, and now the afternoon sun was filtering through the blinds, casting long shadows across the room. His fingers drummed lightly on the edge of his desk as he glanced over the contract in front of him. He had been reviewing the details all morning, ensuring everything was in order before signing. His phone rang, breaking his concentration. He reached for it and answered with his usual professional tone. “Hello, Thomas speaking.”“Hi, Thomas. It’s Greg. I’ve got an update on the contract deal,” Greg’s voice came through, sounding slightly rushed. Thomas sat up straighter. “Go ahead. What’s the news?”“Well, it looks like everything is good on our end,” Greg continued. “We’ve gone over the terms again, and it seems like they’re willing to move forward with the deal. Just waiting on the final signatures.”“Good to hear,” Thomas said, his mind already moving to the next steps.
