Emelia's POV

I left the restaurant feeling a mixture of exhaustion and relief. Exhausted because that definitely was A LOT to take in, but relief because, in the end, she was now completely safe. No more lies, no more danger ahead. Alexis now had the space to truly process everything, to heal, and to move on.

It made me hopeful that, maybe sometime soon, I'd be able to do the same thing, too.

Maybe I could take another week off…

When the next day came, after I'd gotten myself ready, the first order of business was to call Renee to see how everything was holding up in my absence.

"It's good to hear from you, Miss Emelia." Her voice was cheerful on the other end of the line. "Well, you'll be pleased to hear that operations are going smoothly, and that the team is hard at work on the upcoming fall designs. Nothing unusual or concerning to report at this time."

"That's good to hear." I smiled. "They're all such hard workers and good people. Is there any way that we can include a bonus in n

I'm proud of her. Just because his obsession with Lily didn't work out, doesn't mean his ex wife needs to be waiting around like a consolation prize

  • After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness   Chapter 208 — In Good Hands

    Victor's POVIt felt like I was going insane with how long that phone call droned on for. Either I was on the brink of falling asleep or slamming my head against a wall. But after a few hours, it finally ended.Jared assured all of us that the respective agents who contacted us initially would keep us all in the loop, and that he hoped the investigation was swift.My thoughts drifted to Emelia. I wanted to talk to her and make sure she was okay, and to see to what extent this attack affected her people.I had to shove the idea of talking to her about why she rejected my assets out the window. Layla threatened withdrawing her support and guidance, and while my apathy towards my own business grew, I still didn't want to lose her. But thanks to this new problem, her focus drifted to more important matters.I stared at her contact info in my phone before mustering up the courage to send her a text.[Hey. Is everything okay?]I honestly didn't expect her to respond, but just as I was about

  • After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness   Chapter 207 — Behind Closed Doors

    Emelia's POV"What could this be?" I leaned over the agent's shoulder to get a good look at all the emails everyone across different departments sent in. "I mean, some of them definitely look like they're fake, but…"The agent shook his head. "A lot of these are blatantly obvious phishing attack emails. Their return-paths are misspelled by a letter, they want you to click a weird link, or call a number that isn't registered to any entity.""Could the design department have misinterpreted this attack then?""According to our other techs, there hasn't been a serious breach. There have been attempts, but nothing our systems haven't been able to catch. The only thing I can assume is—"Before the agent could finish his sentence, a red phone that sat next to him rang loudly. "It's Thomas." Then there was a pause. "She's here, actually. Did you want to—"He held out the phone for me to take. "For you, Miss Emelia. It's urgent."I took the phone immediately. "Hello, this is Emelia speaking. An

  • After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness   Chapter 206 — The Unexpected

    Lily's POVToday, I was going to meet up with Dylan. After having left behind the darkness he once held me in, yet falling in love with the version of himself that he showed me, I didn't know what to think.All I knew was that there was no going back now.I was able to convince my parents that I had found a line of work, and was granted a sign-on bonus. They didn't ask too many questions after I'd deposited $50,000 into their joint bank account.I kept the rest for myself. My cut of the charade they wanted me to play for their sake.I bought a brand new outfit, and got my hair and nails done. If Dylan was serious about still loving me, then I needed to pull all the stops to really seal the deal.I called for an Uber to take me to the address that he'd sent me—a high-end, luxury hotel. He also provided a room number and reservation name."Smith," I walked up to the reception counter and wasted no time with pleasantries.The clerk also seemed to not mind our interaction being quick as sh

  • After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness   Chapter 205: A Reckless Chase

    Lily's POV"I'm glad you remember me even after all this time, love." Dylan smiled. "You know, you still look so beautiful—just like how I remembered you from all those years ago. I swear, you never change."I still couldn't find the words to respond to him. All I could do was stare at him like he was a figment of my imagination; like all of this was fake, and I was simply hallucinating everything due to how worn out from stress I was.Dylan raised his brow and cocked his head to the side. "What's wrong? You usually have a lot to say..""How did you even find me?!""Babe, you've always loved your social media." He laughed. "It's not like you keep yourself a secret.""You've been talking to me this entire time without telling me who you really were?! How could you—""Actually, I didn't recognize you at first." He shrugged. "You're not exactly the only brown-haired cutie on this planet. But after some time passed and I kept seeing your photos… I don't know. It still didn't really click,

  • After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness   Chapter 204 — Who You Really Are

    Lily's POV"You're a disappointment and a failure as both a mother and a wife!" My dad yelled. "How can you sit there and lose both your husband AND your daughter? Do you have any idea how this will cripple us?!""I told you not to argue with Victor, and what do you do? Argue with him anyway! You think that was supposed to get you back in his good graces?" My mom scoffed. "Honestly, I think you want to see us on the streets! You want to see us suffer!""Especially now that he wants to give ALL of his assets to the ex-wife?" He balled his hands into fists as he paced around the room. "Are you fucking proud of yourself? Lily?"It shouldn't have come to a surprise to me that Victor was trying to sell his company assets over to Emelia. Given everything that happened with the impending divorce and Violet choosing him over me, I was starting to become numb to it all.Just when I thought things couldn't get worse, they did.Honestly? I barely had the strength to continue on. Even for the sake

  • After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness   Chapter 203 — A Rejection Letter

    Emelia's POVI turned off the flatscreen and sat in silence for a few minutes as I tried to gather my thoughts. It was going to be hard to navigate through this since the media had already gotten a hold of it.I didn't even really want to think about the financial panic the shareholders were currently in. Everyone was being blindsided by this decision!"Miss Emelia…?" Renee spoke up. "Are you okay?"I sighed. "I don't even know at this point.""I'm sorry. It seems that the universe isn't finished throwing curveballs at you.""I wish it was, because I'm not exactly the sporty type."That got a chuckle out of Renee. "So, do you have any ideas on how you plan to go about this?""As much as I don't want to do it… I think I may have to release my own public statement in response. The public at least needs to know that this decision was of Victor's own volition, and that I had no say-so, much less the desire, to actually go through with his proposal.""I think it may be a good idea. It may s
