Emelia's POV

"Lily! What happened?! Are you alright?!"

When my vision finally cleared, I craned my head to the side and saw Victor next to Lily. He had his hands around her as if to support and shield her from the rest of the world.

Meanwhile, I was laid out on the ground—exposed and vulnerable. Despite being surrounded by so many people, at that moment, I'd never been so alone.

"Oh, Victor! It—" Lily hissed through her teeth. "It hurts so much! My leg!"

Victor carefully rose to his feet with his arms under Lily. "Try and get up, okay? How bad does it hurt? Can you try—"

"STOP!" Lily wailed. "I think it's really broken this time! I can't stand it! It hurts!"

"It's okay, I got you." Victor reassured her. "Sit back down, okay?" He then looked out into the crowd. "Quick standing there, somebody, and get a damn wheelchair!"

"Victor…" I called out weakly.

However, he was too busy having his eyes fixated on Lily's leg to notice anyone else but her.

"Emelia!" Another familiar voice had cut th

  • After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness   Chapter 129 — Trying to Look Forward

    Victor's POVI re-taped the photo of Emelia and I back under my desk, and took a deep breath. It was hard to get through the days when all I thought of was her. This heartache would never leave me, but it was what I deserved.I knew that all I'd ever be was a broken version of the man I once was. I miss who I was before it all went wrong, but there was no way to undo it.Maybe one of these days I'd learn to make peace with it. After two years, I knew that I'd be a long way off.So, I did what I did best—focus on my business.I spent the rest of my day preparing the reports needed for the upcoming board meeting. While our spring lineup performed well, it felt just a little short of the profit margins we needed to be able to afford the materials we needed for our summer lineup.It wasn't the end of the world—for me, at least—but it definitely was indicative of how much my mindset had affected the earnings for the company. My employees had ultimately suffered because of how absent I'd bee

  • After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness   Chapter 128 — What We Could've Had

    Victor's POVIt was another mindless day of typing up reports and sorting through spreadsheets. Over these past two years, days dragged on without any real meaning.The sun could be shining, and it could still look gloomy and dark on the outside. Warmth could settle on my skin, yet it would still feel like winter had frozen over.Without Emelia, life didn't feel as welcoming as it once had.I sank my head into my hands, taking a deep breath and releasing it slowly. After all this time, I was still stuck on the one who got away. Everyday, I've lived with the guilt of losing the best thing that's ever happened to me, and still being heartbroken over what I did.I thought I'd be over it by now…My phone rang as I was mulling over my grief-stricken thoughts. When I looked at the caller ID and saw it was Lily, my anguish dissolved into anger. I didn't want to answer it, but I knew I had to.I groaned as I picked up the phone. "Yes, Lily?""Hiiii, Victor!" Lily merrily. "Are you busy right n

  • After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness   Chapter 127 — An Act of Forgiveness

    Emelia's POVOver the course of the next few days, I refocused myself and my energy back into the company. It was the time of the year that we needed to pick the next season's theme anyway. I didn't have time to worry about my disastrous encounter with Mason. It started off so good, but then…I shook my head. I couldn't think about him or that right now. Instead, I focused on my senior staff who were circled around the oval table, sharing different concept designs, and chatting about material logistics. Our spring lineup had done so well that it afforded us the ability to experiment with more fabrics. It was just in time for our summer season, which offered us a lot more versatility. It made me excited because it meant we could experiment more. This meant we could push our own boundaries and really make our brand stand out whenever it was time to make landfall in the States. The possibilities were endless! Before I could chime in with my thoughts, my secretary, Renee, walked in.

  • After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness   Chapter 126 — A Moment Turned Bitter

    Emelia's POVI leaned into the kiss without even thinking as my hands wrapped around his broad shoulders. My subconscious and body were so touch-starved, that my senses went into overdrive when our lips collided. Even the smell of him was intoxicating at that moment.Mason's hands were gentle as they roamed down the sides of my body, but there was a slight edge in the way he grabbed my hips and anchored me to him. Like he didn't want to let go—of not just me, but also this moment.My breath hitched at the feel of his tongue gliding across my lips. Like he was asking for an invitation; a chance to let him in. I hesitated, but only for a moment, before relenting. Warmth coursed through my body, and soon it began to pool at the bottom of my stomach. It also didn't help whenever Mason decided he was going to palm my thigh and then hoist my leg around his waist.He pulled his lips away from mine, dragging them slowly across my jaw, before trailing down to the side of my neck and biting do

  • After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness   Chapter 125 — What We've Built

    Emelia's POVThey say that time moves by slowly but passes quickly. Whoever said that was right, but I wouldn't trade it for everything that's happened within these last two years. It's safe to say now that I'm where I want to be in life. Thanks to Ezra's patience and guidance over the years, I was now able to say that I owned my own fashion brand! My jewelry design skills extended into clothing, and it was the best decision that I'd ever made for myself. After Sophia's wedding, I received more calls about job offers and extra projects to take on. I designed a necklace for a college present; a bracelet of someone who passed away; and even a few crowns and masks for a fantasy masquerade event. To say that my career took after that wedding day was an understatement. Now I sat in an office I could call my own, at a round, oval table, with board members all handpicked by me. Today, we were discussing the next order of operations for my brand, the Prestigious Phoenix Collective—also kn

  • After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness   Chapter 124 — Taking Longer To Heal

    Emelia's POVMonths had passed and before I knew it, today was the day of Sophia's wedding. While I was feeling apprehensive about attending a wedding of all things, it was outweighed by my excitement to see the fruits of my labor.When I finally arrived at Isola Bella, well… It was like I'd stepped into a place that I thought only existed in fairytales.What caught my eye was the beautiful stone palace. Its elaborate ornamentation and grandeur style was unlike anything I'd ever seen before back home.Chairs were placed within two symmetrical grass sections, while an ornate red carpet stretched along the pavement that led up to the altar, with the palace as its backdrop.This wedding… It was definitely one of a kind, and I could see why Sophia wanted everything to be perfect—and it was.Once the reception party came and moved into the large ballroom of the palace, I found myself being approached by many of the guests and bridesmaids.I thought it was odd, until Sophia ran up to me to g

  • After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness   Chapter 123 — Lingering Thoughts

    Emelia's POVI drew deep breaths as I descended the stairs as calmly as I could. Whoever was just beyond the door, I sent them a silent thank you. I needed my mind to not be a complete mess when I still had work to do!Once I opened the door, I was greeted by the sight of Ezra and Sophia."Good afternoon, sweetie." Ezra spoke up first. "I hope we didn't catch you at a bad time?""No, not at all." I mustered an unassuming smile. "I was just working on finalizing the design choices for Sophia," I nodded in her direction."Oh, how exciting!" Sophia squealed. "I wanted to come by and see how it was coming along, if that's alright.""Of course! If anything, it would help to have you here so we could bounce ideas directly to each other and you could see the changes I make in real time."I led the two women up the stairs into the kitchen area just as Mason finished setting the tables with our plates."I didn't realize you were expecting guests, Emelia." Mason said sheepishly. "Now I feel bad

  • After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness   Chapter 122 — Add A Little Spice

    Emelia's POVAs the weeks continued to roll, I'd been in a constant state of overdrive. If I wasn't sleeping, I was working on finalizing the designs for the upcoming wedding. Hell, even getting myself to eat was a challenge most of the time.However, my one constant rock throughout this entire ordeal happened to be Mason.If it wasn't for him, I would've worked myself into the ground. He made sure I ate, and even got me to take naps—which I'd NEVER done before. It helped having someone to remind me that breaks were good, despite the looming deadline.I just could barely admit it to myself that the weight of the project was taking its toll on me."If you don't take care of yourself, you're going to get sick." Mason raised a brow as he handed me a cup of tea. "It'll be much harder for you to work then, you know."I took a slow sip of the tea, savoring its warm, herbal taste. "I know, I know. It's just hard to justify a break when I don't have a team of people behind me to pick up the wo

  • After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness   Chapter 121 — Focusing Elsewhere

    Emelia's POVA few months had passed since Lady Ruby gave me the task of working on the jewelry set for the upcoming wedding. So far, most of my days were filled with sketching designs and gaining feedback from the bride.Truthfully, she was a hard woman to work with, but I appreciated the challenge and criticism. Because of it, I'd been pushing myself and my boundaries, and trying to become a better designer with each iteration of the design.I'd gotten up as soon as the sun rose and wasted no time working on another round of sketches. Maybe I hadn't noticed it when it came to my own wedding, but was wearing a ton of jewelry the tradition? I barely remembered wearing anything outside of the ring!This bride, however, wanted it ALL. Ivy vine-like bangles that stretched from her fingers down to her wrists; a necklace so grand that it also came down to her shoulders; an embroidered, lace veil…Not to mention, I had to make sure that I avoided using gold because it was considered bad luck
