Chapter 71 — No More Games

Emelia's POV"I don't want to hear anything from you, Victor. No negotiations, no questions—nothing. Just sign the papers, and let's be done with this." I told him sternly.It was honestly so exhausting to constantly be in this back and forth with him. There was nothing I wanted to hear from him.No more empty promises.No more begging.He'd made it abundantly clear that I wasn't the person who really held his heart, so what was the point in him being so adamant on us staying together?The way I saw it, our marriage shouldn't remain solely because of duty. There needed to be trust and love—neither of which were there."When are you finally going to get the hint?" Alexis sneered. "Just do as she says for once—"I held up my hand and shook my head at Alexis. As much as I appreciated her standing up for me, it needed to come from me just how serious I was about this divorce."It's fine, Alexis." I smiled at her. "I've got this. Just get the car, please."Alexis gave me a worried look but

Chapter 72 — Where It All Began

Emelia's POV"I could be free... At the cost of making this a public fiasco." I laughed. "And to be honest, I really don't want to deal with that—nor do I want him to.""And why do we care?" Alexis scoffed. "He's an asshole! After everything he's put you through, he deserves what's coming to him!"I rolled my eyes at my bestie's mentality. Truthfully, I found her fiery attitude funny, but in this case, it would've done more harm than good in the long run."The thing is," I began to explain, "is that many of the rich families that have invested in Victor's company have ties to the court. The primary reason a lot of them also agreed to continuously support him is because of the promise of an heir. If word got out of this divorce, many of the families would pull their support.""And...?""Victor would lose EVERYTHING." I sighed. "He may have wronged me, but that doesn't mean I have to wrong him back. I just don't want to be in a marriage where I'm not respected or appreciated. I don't w

Chapter 73 — Where It All Ends

Emelia's POV"Mason?" I asked in disbelief. I almost had to rub my eyes just to be sure I wasn't hallucinating him being here.Did he know I was going to be here? Why had he shown up now?"What the hell are you doing here?" Victor growled like some feral beast. His eyes narrowed in on Mason as if he were ready to pounce."You're not the only one who knows a thing or two about hidden gems in the city, you know." Mason replied as he winked at me."Are you okay, though?" His expression changed immediately as concern threaded through his words. "He's not forcing you to do anything you're uncomfortable with, is he?"I turned to see Victor's face turn a shade of red I hadn't seen before. "Everything's fine, Mason. Just having a misunderstand is all—""Who the hell do you think you are?" Victor snapped. "This is none of your concern! So how about you mind your own damn business?!""Actually, Emelia is a part of my business, so this is my concern." Mason stepped closer to me. "Why aren't thing

Chapter 74 — What's Done is Done

Emelia's POV"I wish it hadn't come to this..." Victor said in a low, saddened tone. "I would've given you the world."At one point, Victor was my world. My considerate, although stubborn world.If only he hadn't been so blind. Hadn't been so foolish.All he had to do was say three words; he could've given me the reassurance I'd wanted all this time. He could've stayed true to his promises instead of taking advantage of me.But it was clear that this was nothing more than just an obligation to him. There was no affection, no love.I shook my head. "I had the world. They were growing inside my belly; so innocent and pure. Now with them gone, I want nothing more than to be done with whatever this was supposed to be."Victor winced at my words, the reminder of our dead child like a whip against flesh. With trembling hands, his signature still came so smooth against the creme-colored paper of our divorce agreement.When he handed me back the papers, it felt like a weight had been lifted of

Chapter 75 — Our Friendship Matters

Emelia's POV"I have a surprise for you, by the way." Mason smiled widely at me just as we pulled into Alexis's driveway."You're full of those, aren't you?" I teased."I can be. But I had some help with this one.""What do you mean by that?"Mason motioned for me to follow him as he knocked on the door.Without missing a beat, it swung wide open, and Alexis stood on the other side with a party hat and a wide grin."HAPPY DIVORCE DAY!" Alexis squealed as she grabbed me by the arm and ushered me inside.Her living room had golden garlands hanging from the ceiling, with black and white balloons tied across various pieces of furniture. Confetti trailed to her kitchen, and in the middle, sat a big, white cake. The top was decorated with a bride dragging the groom by his collar, and in bold letters was written:TAKING OUT THE TRASH!I couldn't help but laugh. "What is all this?""We're celebrating your freedom day! Duh!" Alexis beamed as she hugged me."And you were in on this, too?" I rai

Chapter 76 — Things to Consider

Emelia's POV"So… Is everything okay between you and Mason?" Alexis asked as she was washing the dishes.I nodded as I was packing away the decorations. "Yeah, everything's fine between us. He was just a little taken aback by my decision to start my own business.""Oh, jeez… Was he trying to pressure you into reconsidering the job offer? Was he being a douchebag about it? I was just starting to like him!"I couldn't help but laugh at Alexis's protectiveness. "Relax! Quite the opposite actually. He's confident in my abilities and has actually offered to help me with anything I need for the business.""Oh? Is that so?"I turned to look at a mischievously smiling Alexis as she wiggled her eyebrows at me. Luckily, Mason had to leave a little early due to a work meeting, so he wasn't here to witness what Alexis was implying."Oh… Don't start!" I could feel my cheeks getting hot. "I'm just barely getting out of my divorce with Victor. The last thing I want to think about is another relations

Chapter 77 — Don't Blame Me

Emelia's POV"You're kind of pathetic, you know." Lily laughed. "You were the one to divorce Victor, and leave his company, but you're still entering this competition in hopes of staying close to him? Just give him up already!"I narrowed my eyes, the blood in my veins felt as if it was about to boil over. Just the mere sight of her made my resentment towards her grow.She was the cause of all my pain and suffering. She was the reason why I no longer had a husband or a child to love.If we weren't out in a public space, I would've slapped the hell out of her. But I had to compose myself as best as I could do.The last thing I wanted to do was make a scene when I was supposed to be meeting one of the most important people in this industry."Delusional as always." I scoffed. "Do you truly have nothing better to do than to annoy me like some fly? Leave me alone."I turned to walk away, but not before Lily rushed to block my path. As I got a closer look at her, I noticed just how much bett

Chapter 78 — Business Affairs

Emelia's POV"S-she's lying!" Lily stammered as her eyes widened in shock. "That old hag is lying! She doesn't actually have proof at all!"The older woman scoffed and held her phone high in the air as she played back the video she captured.Right there for everyone to see, was the video of my encounter with Lily. From her blocking my way when I was trying to walk away, her grabbing my wrist, and then her charging for me before falling to the ground when I stepped out of her way.The crowd and I stood in a stunned silence.I just couldn't believe it—a completely random stranger had stood up for me! Not only did she not fall for Lily's lies, but she even had proof! It almost felt like I was dreaming.Suddenly, the crowd's murmurs escalated once more, but this time, their anger was directed towards Lily. The three strangers that accosted me earlier and tried to accuse me bowed their heads at me."I'm sorry… I really didn't know!' One said."At least the truth finally came to light…" The

Chapter 79 — Shocking Revelations

Emelia's POV"You're Lady Ezra Ruby?!" We all asked in unison as our faces displayed an equal measure of shock."The one and only!' Lady Ruby curtsied with a wide smile. "When my secretary told me that we had more applicants for this year's competition, I rushed back from my hair appointment. I'll be honest, I'm very pleased with the turnout.""Well…" Her eyes dragged over to Lily as a frown tugged down the corners of her lips. "Most of the turnout."I watched as the crowd around us bowed their heads in respect, and not looking at Lady Ruby directly. The power she exuded could be felt around us—it commanded our respect.But her displeasure with Lily was also palpable. The air around her was sharp, tense. She wanted us to know that slighting her was a mistake for one's career without saying it.Lily dropped to her knees as she scrambled at Lady Ruby's feet. "M-miss Ruby, I—""It's Lady Ruby." She interrupted sharply as her gaze remained intensely on the groveling girl at her feet. "Firs

Chapter 80 — Words of Power

Emelia's POV"You're resorting to cheating accusations now?" Victor's words lit a fire in my chest as heat flooded my cheeks. "That's rich coming from you!"In the wise words of my best friend—if men had one thing, it was the audacity!Victor may not have cheated on me outright, but him choosing Lily over me countless times and allowing her to step all over me was certainly no better.Was this outrageous claim meant to make him feel better about our divorce? Was he still in denial about his actions being what led us here? Was this his twisted way of coping?I couldn't help but laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. THIS was ridiculous and exhausting!"What are you laughing at?!" Lily's nostrils flared. "No wonder why you were so eager to divorce Victor! All those horrible things you said to him and overexaggerating his "mistreatment" of you—it was all a front to disguise your real actions!""You'd know a thing or two about disguises wouldn't you, Lily?" I asked in a mocking tone. "You
