***Emma's POV***

I stared at my reflection in the mirror, my chest tightening with sadness. I looked pale and thinner, like someone battling from an illness. I think I should visit the hospital again to do a proper check up.

I rubbed my belly and a bubble of happiness enveloped me. This baby brought new hope for me and a reason to be happy. A soft knock on the pulled out of my thoughts.

"Ma'am, the young master is waiting."

I took one last look at myself and stepped out.

  • After the Divorce, I Became Untouchable    Chapter Twenty Eight

    ***Emma’s POV***The backyard had been transformed into a breathtaking wonderland. Elegant floral arrangements, crystal chandeliers, and luxurious décor screamed wealth and meticulous planning. Daniel had spared no expense for Rachael. My chest tightened as I glanced toward the stage, where the ring exchange was about to begin.I looked away quickly, scanning for the perfect distraction. Right on cue, another maid thrust a tray of champagne flutes into my hands and pointed toward a nearby table. Seizing the opportunity, I took the tray and moved through the crowd. A second maid was approaching, her eyes glued to the stage. I timed my step perfectly and collided with her. Drinks flew everywhere, glasses shattering on the ground in a loud crash. The guests who were splashed shrieked in outrage.The commotion drew immediate attention. Guards swarmed toward us. From the corner of my eye, I saw Roland slip through the chaos, Mrs. Wilson safely in his arms. A wave of relief washed over me

  • After the Divorce, I Became Untouchable    Twenty Seven

    More than an hour had passed since Roland left, and my anxiety grew with every ticking second. Most guests had moved inside, leaving only a few guards and persistent reporters scattered near the entrance. Many bad-case scenarios flooded my mind. What if Roland had been caught before reaching Mrs. Wilson? What if he couldn’t find her? What if they had both been captured… or worse? What if Mrs Wilson is dead? I shifted restlessly in the car not knowing what to do. Roland had strictly warned me to stay put, but what if he was in trouble or had run into some danger?I decided to wait thirty more minutes after that I will go and look for them. Thirty minutes passed within a twinkle of eyes, I scanned the area and noted the guards’ positions. With the party in full swing, most security was concentrated inside. The only safe way for me to enter is through the back door. I slipped out, crouching low and darting between cars until I reached it.I moved swiftly through the corridors toward t

    “What do you mean?” I whispered, my voice barely audible.“I mean, Daniel and Rachael are getting engaged today.” Susan rose to her full height, a cruel smile playing on her lips as she walked toward the door. “I figured no one would bother telling you, so I came to deliver the news myself.”"I don't care if they're getting engaged." I pleaded in desperation. "Just let me go." "Not yet. You haven’t paid for what you did.” With that, the door slammed shut, plunging me back into darkness.At this point, I couldn’t cry anymore, my tears had run dry days ago. All that remained was numbness and a crushing sense of helplessness. The only person who truly cared about me was somewhere in this mansion, suffering because of me—and I could do nothing about it.My gaze fell on the crushed phone. I picked up the shattered pieces, turning them over in my hands. Even if Roland came, how could he possibly slip past the dozens of guards patrolling the mansion?I curled up on the makeshift bed and sta

  • After the Divorce, I Became Untouchable    Chapter Twenty five

    I lost count of the days I spent trapped in the storage room. Every morning, the guards would open the door and serve me breakfast which is all I would have for the rest of the day. Then at night, Mrs. Wilson would sneak in and get me a proper food, clean up my wounds and dispose the contents in the bucketI have asked her many times about Daniel but she said he hadn't come home since then. I've lost all hope, the only person I can contact is dad but the guards wouldn't even lend me a phone. I couldn’t bring myself to ask Mrs. Wilson for hers when she have already done more than enough for me and I owe her a lot. “How many days has it been?” I asked one evening, slowly sipping the warm herbal soup she had brought."Six days." I nodded. Six good days. Daniel, how can you be so heartless?“What about Susan?” I hesitated. “Does she know I’m… in here?”Mrs. Wilson nodded.Of course she did. A hollow ache settled in my chest. Had I really expected her to intervene on my behalf?“Ma’am!

    A mixture of anger and fear surged through me, I turned back to the door and pounded on it with everything I had left."Is anyone there? Let me out?" I continued banging on the door till my strength gave out and I curled up on the cold floor. Every bruise on my body had reopened, sticky blood seeping through my clothes. My left leg throbbed mercilessly with each heartbeat.The pain was too much to bear coupled with the fact that my throat was parched and I was feeling extremely thirsty. "Please... let me out."I whispered hoarsely. A lone tear slipped down my cheek.Rachael had been right after all. Daniel hadn’t even given me a chance. He’d thrown me in here without a second thought.My hand drifted to my belly, and fresh tears welled up.“I’m so sorry, baby,” I choked out. “Mommy didn’t mean for any of this to happen. I’ll make it right. Just… please stay with me, okay?”I kept murmuring soft promises to my unborn child until exhaustion pulled me under.A sharp, stabbing pain in my

    I slid slowly down the door until I collapsed against it. What the hell is going on?I closed my eyes and forced myself to remember the moments before I blacked out.I had woken up desperately thirsty. There was no water in the room, so I dragged myself into the hallway. That’s when I heard hushed voices coming from the balconyRachael stood with her back to me, speaking urgently into her phone.“But there were no reports from the police,” she whispered. “Who caught them?” I frowned and drew closer, holding my breath.“I’m not paying another cent. The job wasn’t finished.” Her voice grew sharper. My heart was already beating erratically as suspicion filled my mind.“Well, Emma is still alive and breathing, so don’t call me again. I only want to speak with Enzo.”She ended the call and exhaled deeply before turning around. The moment her eyes met mine, she froze.“Who were you speaking to?” I demanded.She recovered quickly, attempting to brush past me. I grabbed her arm.“It was you
