Emelia's POV

Just as I was finally ready to submerge myself in flames of passion, a sudden knock at the door shattered the entire atmosphere. Instantly, the air had gone cold, and pleasure quickly turned into irritation.

"Victor!" Lily's unpleasant voice clawed through the door. "I need your help now!"

"Fuck!" Victor hissed under his breath.

"You can't be serious!" I groaned under my breath.

We both pulled away from each other and scattered to get our clothes on. The tension and frustration was so thick in the air, it was almost hard to breathe.

Why? Why now?

After we were both clothed, we had to take a few extra moments to catch our breaths.

The sensation of our bodies having been so close didn't go away for me as easily. I could feel the heat of my arousal still pooled at the bottom of my stomach. It was almost painful to have had the few moments of pleasure yanked away from me so abruptly.

As for Victor, he seemed to be able to compose himself much more easily. He opened the door a

  • After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness   Chapter 160 — Finding You

    Victor's POVThe rest of my afternoon was spent doing menial paperwork and answering work emails. Of course, none of it was enough to truly take my mind off of the horrible meeting from this morning, but it took the edge off the madness that crept at the edges of my mind.Well, until I received a phone call from Rory."I thought I told you not to call me unless you had something useful." I answered irritably."Already so grouchy, are we?" Rory teased. "Well, you'll be pleased to know that I was able to secure flight logs of those Italian flights I was able to track down. Your precious Emelia was on the first flight that came in."I merely grunted in response."Hm, not exactly the pleased response I was looking for.""Because I already KNOW that she's here." I sighed. "I saw her, at the masquerade ball.""Oh, well I was not made aware of that. Perhaps I would've found better use of my time if you'd communicated better.""Oh, don't tell me that's the only piece of information you were ab

    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

    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
