The Billionaire's Undoing [ A Woman's Revenge] のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

As the sun rose, Emma hurriedly prepared as she rushed into her workplace, the memories of her night with Lucas still lingering in her mind.They barely had time to sleep, their insatiable hunger for eachother last night was beyond words, causing them to oversleep once again, and now she was running late for work. Entering his office with a file in hand, Emma froze, feeling the weight of Mr. Ethan's stare like a tangible force, holding her in place. His disapproving silence echoed in her ears, thick with tension, sending a shiver down her spine."You're behind schedule," he stated, his voice firm with a tinge of anger, his tone sharp and unyielding. Emma's heart raced, its beats frantic as she swallowed, determined not to avert her gaze."I apologize, it won't happen again," she stuttered, the words tumbling out in a rush. There was something about the way he looked at her today that screamed danger, a knowing glint in his eye, a hint of suspicion."It better not. Can you explain your

Lucas took a step back, his gaze lingering on her face with a questioning expression. "Why? Have I done something to upset you? What is going on?" Lucas asked, displeased with Emma's words."It's not about you, Lucas. I believe it's important for us to have our own lives while we're still in the early stages of our relationship. I recently got a job and will be moving into my own apartment. I'd rather not become too reliant on you like I did with Trevor," Emma spoke softly, knowing her decisions were final.Lucas turned away, a sigh escaping his lips as he closed his eyes briefly before opening them again. "Is that why you've been working so hard? Did Ethan have a role in this? This is unlike you to keep me in the dark about something that could affect us, " he inquired, his tone tinged with hurt.Emma hesitated, her mind racing for an excuse. "It's not really... it's complicated," she finally admitted, running her hands over her face in frustration. "I just need some time and space to

Emma was seated on the couch, her gaze fixed into space while she struggled to comprehend the information she had just discovered. Her father had given away his businesses to a stranger who she and her late mother had never met or introduced to as his close friend or inheritor?And to make matters worse, this person had installed a surveillance camera in her apartment after offering her an apartment as part of the benefit of being his secretary? Emma was in shock.Closing her laptop and setting it aside, she stood up and began to pace the room, trying to piece everything together. It just didn't make sense. What was she missing? Where exactly does she need to start looking at?She walked out into the balcony, the evening breeze caressing her entire body as she closed her eyes, yet the burning urge to know more, to have a glimpse of what exactly she was digging into, to have something she could tangibly hold against Ethan seems to be a frustrating move.The more she seems to find, the l

Emma's determination solidified as she maintained her position. "I'm positive there were two," she stated confidently, her assurance growing. She had acquired the intelligence she sought - there were no additional CCTV cameras in her residence.As she made her departure, a chilling realization dawned on her. The series of events began with the discovery of documents, then the camera, and now her father's ring. What was happening? Emma was left with more questions than answers as she exited Mr. Ethan's office, her mind racing with the possibilities of what she was about to uncover.At the end of the day, as Emma emerged from the office building, she was joined by Tina, her friendly colleague. Her voice was filled with enthusiasm and inquisitiveness."So, did Mr. Ethan really give you a car as a job perk?" Tina's words were spoken quietly, tinted with curiosity. Emma glanced at her, observing the flicker of intrigue in her eyes.Emma let out a soft laugh, with a hint of surprise. "Where

Gazing at her from the screen, Lucas hesitated briefly before abandoning his argument with a smirk, his eyes shining mischievously. "It's a pity. You'll be missing out on the delectable lasagna I prepared," he taunted, tilting the camera to reveal a steaming dish of perfection.Emma's mouth watered at the sight of the steam rising from the pot, her senses almost able to pick up the tantalizing aroma through the screen."Don't tempt me, Mr. Sinclair," Emma protested, her stomach growling in yearning.Lucas playfully stuck out his tongue, grinning making Emma laugh at his childish cute behavior. "Too bad it's all for me," he teased, leaning back on his couch.After bidding each other farewell, they promised to catch up later. Emma stretched as she got out of bed, a smile settled on her lips, knowing that Lucas was no longer mad at her and there was no issue with their relationship. It was just past 10pm when Emma stepped into the shower. The hot water washed away the stress of the prev
