After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness Chapter 159 — The Way Life Works
Emelia's POVTriumph brought a smile to my face as I watched Lily storm off. Although, a part of me wondered what it would've been like if she saw that it was actually me, but I brushed the thought away completely.Just as she disappeared into the crowd, I let out a sigh of relief as I took off my sunglasses."Miss Emelia?" I heard a voice from behind me call out.When I turned around, I was surprised to see that it was my secretary, Renee. "Hey, Renee. Did you see any of that, or…?"She handed me a matcha latte and greeted me with a smile. "I did. I was in the back when I heard all of the commotion, but I saw you were already handling it. And well, might I add.""Thanks. It's funny that we're already dealing with those kinds of people before the store even opens." I motioned for her to follow me as we made our way to the back rooms of the store."Do you mind if I ask you something?" She asked once we were out of earshot of all the other workers."Of course.""Was there a reason why yo

Lily's POVWho the hell did these people think they were? Barring me from this store like they owned the place? Lowly little security guards, thinking that their words mattered!Did they know that they were messing with Lily Russo? Wife of the most esteemed, billionaire CEO and business tycoon, Victor Russo?I had a RIGHT to be here!I came with a mission, and I had no intentions of being turned away just because "the store wasn't open yet".Pfft!As if that mattered!I need to make amends to Victor. He clearly likes this store enough to keep their business card around.Not to mention, my girls would be so jealous of me getting early entry into such a prestigious store!"Ma'am, the store isn't open yet!" A short, chubby guard put himself in between me and the entrance, blocking the lobby. "You can come back when it opens tomorrow!""No, what I'm going to do is stand RIGHT HERE, until you fetch me the owner of this place! Clearly, my reputation is lost on someone like you." I snorted."

Emelia's POV"We're so proud of you, Emelia." My mom's smile shone through the screen of our FaceTime call. "Truly, you've done a lot for yourself over these years, and look at where you're at now!"Tears welled at the base of my eyes. "T-thank you, mom. I'm just sorry that I haven't been able to come and see you and dad… Especially since I promised—"A loud, wet cough interrupted my sentence but was soon replaced by an amused chuckle.My mom turned the front-facing camera towards my dad. His somewhat pale complexion was warmed by the sunlight spilling into the hospital room. A smile bloomed across his lips when he saw me."Don't worry about your old man," my dad's gruff voice came through the speakers. "I'm still here, and fighting off whatever the hell it is I have. Besides, you're making waves, baby girl. I couldn't be any more proud of you.""You know me, always a worry wart." I laughed in between trying to keep my tears at bay."Oh, you take that up from your mother for sure.""He
After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness Chapter 156 — Back Into A Corner
Victor's POVFrustration tried to claw its way out of my chest as I sped back to the sanctuary of my office. My fingers gripped the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles turned white.I drove the car in complete silence, letting nothing shelter my mind from the storm of my tumultuous thoughts.The meeting was a disaster.Not only were The Collective's proposed terms and conditions near nothing what I'd envisioned a collaboration would actually be, I was more angry with the fact that it wasn't even Emelia who came.That was probably the worst part of it all.I hated how high my expectations were when I should've known better.It's not like I was given a reason to hold her to such estimations.Yet, my heart still raced with the possibility… the hope.Once I made it back to my headquarters and sulked my way up the steps and past the workspace, I b-lined for my office without saying a word to anyone. Silence slowly descended upon the space as I walked by, each step weighted with disap
After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness Chapter 155 — The Taste of Triumph
Emelia's POVMost of my morning was spent catching up on more emails, filling out paperwork, and finalizing the details for The Collective's grand opening tomorrow. Tomorrow…My heart swelled at the thought of seeing the fruits of my hard work culminating into the physical manifestation of my storefront.I had dreams about this.And of course, along the way, I had my doubts.But despite that, I persevered.I became stronger.I became more determined.I never gave up.And now I got to reap the rewards of all my efforts, and to truly bask in the love and passion I poured into this industry that had already given so much to me.The fashion and design industry would always be my home, and I was glad that I was able to mark my place in its world.Excitement buzzed beneath my skin as a smile blossomed across my lips."A penny for your thoughts?" Alexis smiled as her eyes glanced up from her laptop at me. "Although, I can probably already guess what's got you so giddy!""I just can't believe
After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness Chapter 154 — Dealing With Disappointment
Emelia's POVI leaned back in my chair, basking in the feel of the warm morning sun against my skin. Today was a big day; even though it wasn't the grand opening of The Collective's storefront. Today was supposed to be my meeting with Victor. We were to discuss a potential business agreement and future partnership between our brands. Yet, I had no intention of doing that. Well, I did, but *I* wasn't going to be the one to broker the deal. "I honestly think you should call off the meeting." Alexis shook her almost empty cup of caramel frappe in circles. "I thought you didn't want him to find out about you yet." "I don't," I replied with my eyes closed. "Then... I don't understand why you'd agree to a business meeting with him." I sighed in a joking manner. "We're best friends, I thought you knew all my tricks." I opened one eye to peek over at Alexis whose head was tilted in a puzzled manner. I watched as the gears turned behind her eyes, and then— "OH!" Her blue eyes widened i
