Ch45 - Why all around me?
Last Updated:
2025-05-03 20:00:51Emily roughly sorted her belongings, showered, and then collapsed onto the bed. The place was clearly well-maintained—clean, soft sheets and a mattress that supported her aching back perfectly.
It was leagues better than the one in her old apartment. Normally she wouldn’t have cared much, but ever since the pregnancy, her lower back had been in constant pain. Right now, this level of comfort felt almost miraculous.
Theo really is my lucky star, she thought.
The next morning, she sent Bella a message. She knew Bella probably wouldn’t be in the mood to reply, and there wasn’t much she could do to help, but she still wanted Bella to know she was there for her—because Emily understood just how fast someone could hit emotional rock

To deal with Aaron's relentless attempts to contact her, Emily decided to reach out to the divorce lawyer Theo had recommended. The woman—Harper—was a senior partner at a reputable law firm, a specialist in family law with over 15 years of experience. She was also known as the go-to lawyer for many celebrities.Over the phone, Emily explained the situation briefly. “The court already sent the official notice to both of us, but my ex-husband is clearly stalling. He still hasn’t sent back the confirmation papers. What can I do in this case?”Harper broke down her options and gave her two paths forward. Emily fell into a thoughtful silence. If this had been her a few months ago, she would’ve rejected the idea without hesitation. But now... she couldn’t help wondering—maybe she’d been too soft, too easy to walk

“Fine. Got it.” Emily picked her phone up from the table and slid it into her pocket.Seeing her about to leave, Amelia quickly stood up, almost slapping the table, “You still haven’t told me how you plan to make Aaron divorce you.”Emily glanced at her lazily, “Relax. I don’t go back on my word.”“Words mean nothing.”“I’ve already hired a lawyer to take him to court,” Emily said, her voice flat and cold. “I’m not the type to cling to trash.”Amelia laughed, though inwardly she was sneering.Keep pretending to be tough.

At the hospital."Congratulations, Mrs. Lopez. You're pregnant. The baby looks healthy."Emily gripped the report tightly. The doctor's words rang in her ears, and her face went blank with shock.Pregnant? She was stunned—and thrilled. It felt unreal.Her health had always been fragile, making it difficult to conceive. In the three years since their wedding, her belly had remained flat. She’d carried the guilt of not being able to give her husband a child. And now, out of nowhere, the universe had decided to give her this gift—right on their third wedding anniversary.Seeing the joy spread across Emily’s face, the doctor continued, "I’ll go ahead and set up your file. Make sure to bring the baby’s dad with you next time. A lot of things during pregnancy, he needs to hear too."Stepping out of the exam room, Emily gently laid a hand over her still-flat belly. There’s already a little life in here. The overwhelming emotion finally reached her eyes. She blinked quickly.I have to tell Aa

Emily couldn’t stand there another second. She turned to leave—but a hand clamped down hard on her arm.She immediately tried to yank free, but couldn’t. She spun around, eyes bloodshot, and snapped, “Let go of me!”Aaron’s grip only tightened, “STOP IT. This is a workplace!”Emily gritted her teeth, her voice sharp and deliberate, “Oh? Did you remember this is a workplace when you were all over her in here?”She stared at him down, unafraid.Aaron’s expression started to crack under the weight of her words. His mouth twitched—then twisted with anger.“YOU’re being completely irrational! When did you turn into this?”Ha.Emily let out a cold scoff. Anger wasn’t even the loudest thing inside her anymore—just this overwhelming numbness. So many things she could say, and yet none of them mattered.Her eyes dropped to his hand still gripping her arm, tight and unkind.No gentleness. No care. Just pain.But even that couldn’t compare to how much her heart hurt.He could speak to that woman

Divorce?Aaron visibly froze. His eyes flickered—just for a split second—but he quickly masked it with his usual calm.“That’s not a word you should throw around lightly.”He thought she was just being emotional, saying something she didn’t really mean. He reached out, trying to touch her cheek.“DON’T touch me.”Emily leaned back against the headboard, jerking her head away from his hand. Her gaze locked onto the bed sheets.Yeah… in the past three years, they’d barely fought. A few small arguments here and there, but he’d always been the first to make peace. She never imagined it would spiral to something like this—divorce.Was it her?Was she overreacting? Saying something that serious over just one incident?But the truth was—The moment the word left her lips, it was like a massive weight lifted off her chest. For the first time that night, she could actually breathe.Aaron’s fingers slowly curled into a fist, then dropped to his side. Emily didn’t even look at him. The tension b

Back when Emily had just graduated, she landed a job at Aaron’s fashion brand. As a junior employee, there was no reason she’d ever cross paths with the CEO—But six months in, at a company anniversary party, she accidentally ran straight into him… and spilled a glass of red wine all over his suit.Emily was fresh out of school and nearly scared to death. If he asked her to pay for it, there was no way her tiny paycheck could cover the cost of that custom, high-end suit.But Aaron didn’t get mad.He just asked her to leave her contact info—clearly just an excuse. When he did reach out later, he never mentioned compensation. Instead, he started asking her out to dinner, taught her how to play golf, and even took her out on his yacht.What did she know back then? Only that a successful, good-looking man—five years older, charming and mature—was showing interest in her. Her heart didn’t stand a chance.Later, when her grandma suddenly fell critically ill and needed emergency heart surger

Not possible?Emily felt the blood in her veins freeze. It was like being dropped into a snowstorm—her ears went numb, her mind blanked out. Nothing registered.She stared at him in disbelief. WHY was he so sure?Sure, her health had always been fragile, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t get pregnant. They’d been sleeping together regularly, and since they’d both agreed to try for a baby, they hadn’t used protection…For a second, she questioned her own memory. But she had just seen the doctor yesterday.

Three and a half years ago, Grandma Ruth had undergone major heart surgery. Her right coronary artery had been completely blocked—her complexion so pale she looked like she’d lost all her blood.Emily had been shaking all over, terrified she wouldn’t get the chance to repay the woman who raised her… terrified Grandma wouldn’t live long enough to enjoy any peace or happiness.The doctors had initially said she might need open-heart surgery—a huge risk. But the moment Aaron found out, he stepped in without hesitation. He had her transferred to a private hospital and brought in a top international cardiac specialist.Instead of traditional surgery, they opted for a minimally invasive catheter procedure using imported stents. Three were placed in total, and it saved her l

When they arrived outside her apartment building, Theo’s assistant suddenly spoke up, asking Emily to stay in the car for a moment.Before she could ask why, two burly bodyguards were seen escorting a man toward them. The assistant got out and motioned for Theo and Emily to remain inside.Theo rolled down the window and glanced out, spotting the man—clearly weighed down with professional camera equipment.Rico, the assistant, explained, “This guy followed us all the way from the office. Kept acting shady.”From the gear and context, there was no doubt about the man’s identity.Theo frowned and asked, “Which news outlet do you represent? Why were you tailing us?”

Aaron walked away without pushing further—his first time ever backing off. After glancing at Leo’s phone, his expression turned stiff. He looked like he had something to say, but in the end, all he managed was, “I’ll come check on you next time,” before turning and leaving.Yeah right, Emily thought, pulling a face inwardly. Don’t bother. In fact, I’d rather not see you again. Still, she couldn’t help but wonder what had made Aaron look so grim.She didn’t have to wonder long.Just before the end of the workday, one of her teammates came up, eyes gleaming with gossip. “Hey Emily, have you seen this news?”

This time, Lilian’s gaze at Emily felt different. Emily brushed it off, assuming she was just curious about the gossip from lunch. After all, she wasn’t the only one getting odd looks lately—several coworkers had been sneaking glances her way.As she walked to the water dispenser, cup in hand, Emily couldn’t help but wonder: if even I was getting this much attention, what about Bella?Even if Bella was completely innocent, people always preferred their own narratives—saying things like "Something must’ve happened for it to blow up like that," or "Maybe she crossed a line and that’s why the wife reacted that way."

It took a long time before the chaos finally died down. The lobby had been a mess, filled with Lucas's wife’s unrelenting shouting—"It’s this woman who messaged you!""She’s the one who asked you for money!""You keep saying you're busy at work because of her!"She didn’t stop yelling at Bella, and even dragged her own husband into it, cursing him out too. Emily couldn’t stand to watch. Within ten minutes of the whole thing starting, she quickly pulled Bella away.She really wanted to yell back at that woman, but that woman was absolutely insane, completely irrational, and impossible to reason with. Emily didn’t want Bella to suffer
After divorce, He regretted Ch40 - Wasn’t so lucky
Emily had been in her new team for two weeks now, and things were going well. She got along with everyone, and the team lead had been giving her assignments that played to her strengths—women’s wear. He even praised her designs as fresh and said her technical skills were solid. Several of her pieces had already been approved.She and Bella had grown closer too. Even though Bella had submitted her transfer request, the company required a one-month handover, so she still had two more weeks under Lilian. But ever since that incident, Lilian had kept a much lower profile.That afternoon, they were just getting back from lunch, chatting as they walked through the lobby and into the elevator. Bella, holding a fresh cup of coffee, was excitedly talking, "My cat’s so naughty, I can’t leave anything on my desk—if she sees it, she’ll just—"Bella stopped mid-sentence, freezing as the elevator doors were about to close. A familiar figure stepped in. It wasn’t until the doors shut that Lilian loo

Amelia looked up and caught Aaron’s gaze, deep and steady, his expression serious. "Emily’s misunderstood what’s going on between us. I don’t want that getting worse." Her breath hitched, her hands tightening into fists, nails digging into her palms to keep herself composed. Her voice trembled just slightly, "What? How could she think that? Do you want me to talk to her, clear things up?" "No." Aaron replied without hesitation. "You don’t need to get involved. I’ll handle it."Amelia frowned, voice tight, "But how can I not? This all started because of me. If I’d explained things better at the hospital, maybe you two wouldn’t have fought." Aaron glanced at her hand resting on the desk, and his tone softened. "That wasn’t your fault." Then, more gently, "Is your hand better?" She blinked, slowly opening her palm. "It’s fine now, really." A small, pink scar—only about two centimeters—stood out against her skin. The same hand that had been injured that night she’d called him in tea
