All Chapters of THE MARRIAGE GAME: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

The cold night air stings my face as I watch Emma walk away from me, her figure getting smaller with each step. The urge to chase after her, to grab her and tell her everything I've been holding back, is almost unbearable. My chest tightens, and I feel like I'm drowning in the wave of emotions crashing over me.How did it get to this point? How did I let her slip so far away?My feet move before my mind can catch up, and I find myself running after her. I can't lose her again—not like this. Not after everything we've been through. I can't stand the thought of her hating me, of her believing that I don't care. Because I do. I always have."Emma!" I call out, my voice rough, but she doesn't stop. She just keeps moving forward, as if she's trying to outrun everything we've been to each other.I quicken my pace, pushing through the ache in my chest, until I'm close enough to reach out and grab her arm. She whirls around, eyes blazing with a mix of anger and hurt, and I almost flinch at th

The second my lips meet hers again, the world outside ceases to exist. It's just us, tangled in each other, lost in a storm of emotions that have been building for years. I press her into the bed, my body hovering over hers, my heart pounding so hard I can hear it in my ears. I never knew it could feel like this—so right, so necessary.I've wanted her for so long, but I never thought I'd get this close, that she'd be here with me like this. And now that she is, I'm terrified of losing her. But I push that fear aside because right now, there's no room for doubt. There's only Emma.My hands move over her body, feeling the warmth of her skin under my fingertips. She's soft and perfect, everything I've ever wanted. I know I've got no right to be with her, not after everything that's happened, but I can't let her go. Not now. Not ever."Emma," I murmur, my voice low and rough as I pull back just enough to look into her eyes. They're dark and filled with a need that matches my own, and the

She's lying in my arms, her breath soft and steady against my chest. My hand drifts lazily over her bare skin, tracing idle patterns along her spine as I stare up at the ceiling, trying to wrap my head around everything that's happened in the last few hours.Emma. In my bed, in my arms. Finally. It feels like a dream I've had a thousand times but never dared to believe could come true.I tilt my head slightly, watching her sleep, her dark hair splayed out like a halo on the pillow. I've loved this woman for so long, in so many ways, but I never thought we'd get here. She's always been just out of reach, just a little too far, and I thought I'd lost her for good.But now she's here, and she's mine, and I don't want to let her go again.The confession earlier was raw, messy, and filled with every ounce of pain and love I've held onto for years. I didn't think I could still feel all those things after everything we'd been through, but they came rushing out, tearing me apart and piecing m

The phone rings, and Emma's name lights up the screen. My heart skips a beat. I pick up, trying to keep my voice steady, but as soon as I hear her voice, soft and warm, I feel a smile tugging at my lips."Hey," she says, and I can hear the smile in her voice too. "I just got the flowers. A hundred roses, Liam? Really?"I chuckle, leaning back in my chair. "Too much?""No," she says quickly, a slight laugh in her tone. "It was perfect. You know, everyone at work is completely jealous. Rob hasn't stopped squealing since they arrived.""I'm glad you liked them," I say, feeling the tension in my chest loosen a little. "I wasn't sure if a hundred was over the top, but... I needed you to know how serious I am.""I know," she says softly. "And I love them. They're beautiful."There's a pause, a comfortable silence settling between us. I close my eyes, just listening to her breathe on the other end of the line. Even through the phone, the connection between us feels so strong, so real. It's h

I lean back in my office chair, glancing out of the large windows that overlook the city humming with life. It's been a perfect week, just me and Emma, no distractions, no obligations. We've spent our days exploring the city, enjoying quiet dinners by candlelight, and getting lost in each other's company. For the first time in a long while, I felt completely at peace.But now, it's back to reality. Back to work. And as much as I hate to admit it, the tension in the air is thick. I've barely been at my desk for half an hour when my mother storms into the office, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floors. Right behind her, Serena follows with a face full of barely contained rage. Great. Just the pair I didn't want to see today."Liam!" my mother snaps, her voice slicing through the silence of the room. "We need to talk."I sit up, bracing myself. I knew this was coming. Ever since Emma returned, I've been waiting for the inevitable confrontation. My mother never approved of E
