My Billionaire Husband Refuses to Let Me Go
"You've changed, Emma," Noah growled, his hand wrapping around her wrist before she could turn her back on him again. His eyes burning with frustration and possessiveness.
Emma looked at him with a mocking smile on her lips, ignoring how his proximity overwhelmed her senses, stirring a familiar, ache deep in her lower abdomen. God, she had loved this man for three agonizing years. But she wouldn't let him see her weakness now.
Noah's gaze darkened as he took in her defiance. The Emma he knew would have looked at the floor, trembling and eager to please. The woman standing before him was anything but. She was confident and radiant. For three years, he had vowed never to touch her out of spite. Now, looking at the sharp intelligence in her eyes, he wondered how he had ever looked past her.
"Maybe you just never bothered to look at me, Mr. Walker," Emma countered, feeling a thrill of victory as Noah's eyes instinctively dropped to her lips, his pupils dilating. He wanted her. And for the first time in their marriage, he couldn't hide it.
"You never gave me a reason to look," Noah rasped, pulling her forward until her soft front flushed entirely against his hard, muscled chest. His fingers gripped her chin, forcing her face up. "You were just a compliant, boring arrangement handed to me by my grandmother. But you aren't acting very boring today."
"And now, Noah? Am I still just a piece of furniture to you?" she provoked, refusing to back down even as the look in his eyes consumed her.
"Not even close," he growled, his hungry gaze locking onto her mouth before he slammed his lips against hers, crushing her into a kiss that threatened to steal the very breath from her lungs.

Chapter: Chapter SevenEmma couldn't believe she'd actually done it. Actually had the courage to leave the only man she had ever loved without any hesitation. But it had to be done. She may have felt something special for Noah, but it wasn't enough for her to stay and endure the humiliation of her husband having an affair.She respected herself too much to stay in such a marriage. She tightened her hands on her suitcase as she felt her resolve harden. She was doing this.She made her way down the expansive driveway, her chin held high despite how much her knees were trembling and her heart was breaking with each step, but she didn't look back. She made her way towards where her modest car was packed. She hadn't driven it in almost a year, and yet looking at it, she couldn't help but miss the dear old thing.She entered her car, sighing as she settled against the familiar leather seats. What was she going to do now? She couldn't go back to her parents' new house, bought by Noah Walker's money. She didn't

Chapter: Chapter SixNoah stood frozen in disbelief as he heard the front door click shut. It had all happened too fast, and it was completely out of character for Emma. He stared down at his hand, only just realizing he was still gripping the papers she had held out to him.He pushed past the unexplainable tightness in his chest and walked over to the tall floor-to-ceiling windows to watch her figure walk down the long driveway to her little car. It wasn't any of the ones he had gotten her over the years. But the modest hatchback she'd bought with her own money before they married.She was carrying only a single, small suitcase. The sight of it made a sharp, mocking laugh escape his lips. Did she honestly expect him to believe that was all her luggage? Three years of marriage, three years of a luxury lifestyle, and the only thing she was walking out with was a carry-on and a beat-up vehicle?This was obviously a stunt. There was no way she could be serious. She was just throwing a tantrum. The scandal mu

Chapter: Chapter FiveThe moment Noah got into the driver's seat and closed the door, the warmth he had worn for her family vanished instantly. The distance between them becoming painfully obvious.The silence was deafening as Noah tore down the driveway, leaving the housewarming party behind.Emma's hands remained clenched tightly in her lap, as she watched the trees blur past the window, her mind going a mile a minute."How much did the house cost?" she asked suddenly. Her voice was tight and trembling slightly. "I will pay you back later."She thought about her design studio. She had graduated with honors, poured every ounce of her energy into building the brand, and recently, the studio had been making remarkably good money. It was growing fast enough that she couldn't help but feel proud. If she liquidated some personal assets, perhaps took out a business loan, and dedicated every single cent of her upcoming profit margins to it, she should at least be able to repay a small part of the massive sum fir

Chapter: Chapter FourNoah could feel just how stiff Emma was in his arms, her body practically stone beneath his hands. Even though he had deliberately pulled her against his chest to present a united front to those irritating women, the total lack of yielding in her posture made a strange, defensive prickle of irritation flare in his gut.Usually, whenever he deigned to touch her in public, she would lean into him with a quiet, grateful compliance, eager to play the role of the cherished wife. Now, she felt like an icy statue, completely detached from his presence.Aunt Patricia's mouth dropped open, her smug expression freezing into a look of sheer terror as she stared at the CEO who had materialized out of nowhere. What the hell, she thought, could she have been mistaken about the affair?She had thought this was finally the moment to put her cousin and her daughter in their place finally. They never should've risen beyond their status as the lowly branch family they were, they didn't deserve the prest

Chapter: Chapter ThreeWith everything that had exploded the night before Emma had completely forgotten about her mother's big day. Her mother wasn't a malicious woman; she loved Emma deeply. But she was intensely vain, living entirely for the validation of the high society. For her mother, Emma marrying a billionaire CEO was the ultimate shield against the judgmental relatives who had looked down on their family branch for years."I... I'm heading out soon, Mom," Emma lied smoothly, forcing her voice to sound steady as she rubbed her aching temples. "Noah had some urgent early morning meetings to handle, so I'm going to head over alone first. Don't worry, I'll see you shortly."She hung up before her mother could ask anything else, tossing the phone somewhere. Leah, still half-asleep and sprawled across the other end of the sofa, cracked one eye open. "You're not actually going alone, are you? After last night?""I don't have a choice," Emma muttered, already pulling her tangled hair into a knot. "If I do

Chapter: Chapter TwoNoah couldn't believe it. What the hell was Emma doing here?Tonight was one of the happiest he's ever been in a very long time. When he received a text from an unknown number claiming to be Veronica and that she was back in the country, he had refused to believe it.The last time he heard from Veronica was years ago when she broke up with him after he'd asked her to elope with him so he could escape his arranged marriage. She had left the country the very next day, breaking his heart and turning him into a cold, resentful shell of a man. But tonight, seeing her face again, it felt like a dream come true. He felt alive for the first time in years. He was finally happy, sitting with his arms wrapped around her, surrounding themselves with their mutual friends.Until Emma ruined it."Emma," he called, caught so off guard he forgot to hide behind the carefully constructed walls of his usual cold indifference, and for a second his frustration hitched as he took in his wife.She was beaut
