Chapter 41 — A Heavy Heart

After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness/Olivia GW

Victor's POVEverything around me moved in slow motion as I dragged myself up the stairs of my grandfather's mansion. The colors of the world started to fade away, and there was a giant hole in my chest where my heart should've been.Emelia left me.I went inside and ignored my mother and Lily completely, even as they tried to get my attention. Was grandpa right? Had I been mistaken this entire time?As I climbed up the stairs to grandpa's office, one of his butlers stood in my way. I tried to move past him but he mirrored my movements."I need to go talk to him, so please get out of—""Apologies, Mr. Russo, but Sir Russo has told us that you are no longer permitted to speak to him at this time moving forward.""What are you talking about? No, I need to go see—""Sir Russo has made it clear that you are to reconcile with Mrs. Emelia or you are prohibited from returning to this residence."I stood wide-eyed in disbelief. Grandpa was cutting me off completely unless I made up with Emelia

Chapter 42 — A Dutiful Heart

After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness/Olivia GW

Victor's POVI stared into Lily’s eyes, hoping to find the answers to all the questions that burned within me.“What’s wrong?” Lily shifted uncomfortably beneath my gaze."Emelia is still my wife." I said with a resoluteness that almost erased the doubt that weighed in my heart. "I can't just let her leave! What will that say about me as a husband if I don't fulfill my vows to her? I have a duty to fulfill!"The implications of Emelia's words left me hollow, but I had to believe that there was some hope left. Things weren't absolute—there was still another chance to explain myself.I couldn't just let her leave. Not when I made a promise to be with her until 'death do us part'; through sickness and in health; through good and bad.The thought of all the promises I made to Emelia steeled my resolve. I had to find a way to make things right; to make her understand that things were truly different—and that what really mattered was that we were husband and wife.I had a duty to make sure E

Chapter 43 — A New Little Life

After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness/Olivia GW

Emelia's POV"There's no way! I'm pregnant?!"I paced around in Alexis's bathroom for what seemed like hours. The pregnancy stick laid flat on the counter, and I kept my eyes on it like a hawk. Once the second alarm on my phone went off, I picked up the pregnancy test to confirm that I wasn't hallucinating the double line of confirmation."Emmy… It's only supposed to take fifteen minutes for the results to read. You've been in there for thirty." Alexis called out.I opened the door and turned the pregnancy test towards Alexis so she could see the little screen.Once she was able to see it for herself, she squealed and pulled me in for an embrace. "Oh, congratulations, Emelia! You're actually pregnant!"Her excitement was palpable and normally it would've spread to me, too. Both of us should've been squealing, jumping for joy, and starting a list of potential aunty nicknames for the child to call her one day.Except… I felt none of that.This couldn't be more horrible timing for news li

Chapter 44 — So Complicated

After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness/Olivia GW

Emelia's POVI was silent on the drive back to Alexis's home since I was still in shock. The strong heartbeat of my unborn child echoed in my mind. It was all so clear—I was having a baby! It was such a surreal feeling to know that I was becoming a mother.Alexis's enthusiastic voice pulled me from my thoughts. Luckily, she was talking enough for us both, but I figured I needed to be a good friend and listen to what she said."You know, your pregnancy gives me a good reason to clean out that spare room!" Alexis's smile was wide. "I've always wanted to decorate a little nursery!""And what ideas did you have in mind?" I asked."Something to do with animals for sure! Hippos, tigers, and elephants; all of them! Obviously in an art style that's proper for children. I wasn't sure if I wanted decals or to have them painted on, but I wanted the walls to be a light green." Alexis tapped at her steering wheel. "Plus, I figured that animals are loved by both boys and girls. It'll work out whenev

Chapter 45 — A Hidden Agenda

After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness/Olivia GW

Emelia's POVThe thoughts in my mind ran at a million miles an hour.Should I tell Victor that he was about to be a father? Should I tell him about how I had my first prenatal check-up, and how the baby's heartbeat was strong? Should I tell him about how I was already ten weeks along?Even though I was planning to divorce him, I didn't want my child to grow up without their father. He may not have been a good husband, but what if he was a better father?A part of me didn't want to make such a rash decision based on the possibility of him maybe being a better father than husband. At the end of the day, I knew that if—or rather, when—I decided to divorce him, even if we amicably agreed to become co-parents, that meant my child would have to be raised by Lily, too.The thought alone boiled my blood. Her manipulativeness would've extended to this sweet life growing inside me, and the last thing I wanted for the unborn child was for them to be tainted.Just as I was about to give Victor a

Chapter 46 — Surprise Defense

After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness/Olivia GW

Emelia's POV"Are you really going to go through with it, Em?"Alexis was reading over the email I'd received from my divorce lawyer. Her expression was one of astonishment, as her eyebrows were raised. Despite everything I'd gone through, she probably thought that maybe I wasn't actually going to go through with it.I nodded my head as I took my phone back. "I am. I have to. Especially with this baby on the way, I need them to grow up without malicious outside influences tainting their life."Alexis smiled tenderly as she placed her hand on my shoulder. "Don't let Victor manipulate you out of doing what's right, or let Lily walk all over you. And no matter what happens, you know I'm here for you a hundred percent of the way."There truly was no way of thanking Alexis for her unwavering support in all of this. If anything, it was what gave me the courage to finally go through with this divorce.It was time for me to end things and move on to a life I could be happy and proud of.I had

Chapter 47 — Another Truth Uncovered

After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness/Olivia GW

Emelia's POV"Victor, you're starting to scare me..." Lily whimpered. "Why don't you believe me? Why are you getting angry with me?"I stood in disbelief at Victor's change in behavior over Lily. He'd only vehemently come to my defense once after my accident, but even then, he folded against Lily's and Bernadette's constant pressuring.If anything, I was even more confused. Something had to have happened to their relationship."You want to know why I'm angry with you?" Victor asked Lily. He seemed unmoved by her dramatics today. "Tell me, Lily—what happened to you while I was on my trip at Blasdell with Emelia?""I fell down the stairs and broke my leg! You know that. Why are you even asking me?""Do you remember the name of the doctor who took care of you?"There was a long pause as Lily's features changed rapidly. Confusion. Realization. Hesitation.It should've been a simple question to answer, but it was as if her answer was going to unravel a secret she wanted hidden.Curiosity pi

Chapter 48 — Point of No Return

After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness/Olivia GW

Emelia's POV"Tell me, Victor!" Lily screamed. "Are you really going to abandon me now?! After everything we've gone through? After everything you promised me?!"Victor fell silent and while his eyes remained on Lily, there was less conviction behind them. It was like he was regretting bringing up the truth at all.I knew what happened then—she found his weakness.She was weaponizing his guilt over her health, and had it dangled above his head like a knife. In her mind, she thought that the truth didn't matter because she knew he was duty-bound to all the promises he made to her in their past.And honestly, I figured that was what was going to be the case.Despite how many times he'd said "sorry" to me, all of his energy would go into prioritizing Lily anyway. No matter what, he showed that he cared for her enough that he'd neglect his own wife.Lily noticed Victor's troubled expression, while he wrestled with his internal struggle, as a triumphant smirk spread across her lips. She rea

Chapter 49 — Tell Me Something

After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness/Olivia GW

Emelia's POVThe air around us grew cold, as the expression on Victor's face froze. I watched his eyes dart from me to the divorce papers, like he hadn't fully comprehended what I asked of him. Maybe he didn't think I was speaking English."You can't be serious right, Em?" Victor finally broke the tense silence. "Please, let's talk about this and be reasonable. I understand why you're upset, but I've realized the truth now. Doesn't that count for something?"I crossed my arms and narrowed my eyes at him. "Like that's supposed to undo everything you've done?""I'm not trying to undo anything, Em. I admit to my mistakes. I lied to you about my relationship with Lily, and I prioritized her over you." Victor unraveled my crossed arms and took my hand in his. "It made me doubt you when I shouldn't have."I took my hand back from him. Even though he'd held me not long ago, his touch still felt so wrong. "That's not why I'm divorcing you."Victor raised a brow. "Then I don't understand…" He

Chapter 50 — A New Determination

After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness/Olivia GW

Emelia's POV"I-I don't understand the question." Victor stammered. "Do I love you? Sense of duty? Grandpa's expectations?" He pushed out an exasperated, almost panicked breath of air. "What are you asking me? What are you trying to say?"The last fragile flicker of hope I had left in me was extinguished at that moment.FUCK!Why?! Why couldn't he admit his feelings for me? Did they not exist after all this time? Had I truly not held any part of his heart? Had I not made my home in it after all these years?The tightness in my chest grew and suddenly it was getting harder for me to breathe. "Get out…" My voice was strained as I struggled to hold onto my composure."Em… I—" Victor hesitated. His eyes flickered to me and then away while he tried to search for something to say."Get. OUT!" My nostrils flared as my body shook.The sound of someone barging through my door both startled and enraged me. For a moment, I thought it was Lily. I definitely wasn't in the mood for her antics and I
