Emelia's POV

"You're kind of pathetic, you know." Lily laughed. "You were the one to divorce Victor, and leave his company, but you're still entering this competition in hopes of staying close to him? Just give him up already!"

I narrowed my eyes, the blood in my veins felt as if it was about to boil over. Just the mere sight of her made my resentment towards her grow.

She was the cause of all my pain and suffering. She was the reason why I no longer had a husband or a child to love.

If we weren't out in a public space, I would've slapped the hell out of her. But I had to compose myself as best as I could do.

The last thing I wanted to do was make a scene when I was supposed to be meeting one of the most important people in this industry.

"Delusional as always." I scoffed. "Do you truly have nothing better to do than to annoy me like some fly? Leave me alone."

I turned to walk away, but not before Lily rushed to block my path. As I got a closer look at her, I noticed just how much bett

  • After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness   Chapter 161 — A Horrible Reunion

    Emelia's POVSirens and bells rang in my head like they were sounding off an emergency, as my heart threatened to beat through my chest. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.Well, it was more like I didn't *want* to believe what I was seeing.I had to blink a few times just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating things.But there was no mistaking those piercing blue eyes that seemed to burrow right into my soul.This really was Victor standing in front of me.Immediately, I shoved the full weight of myself against the door, trying to prevent him from coming in.It was a stupid and futile gesture as Victor overpowered me with ease, and forced himself into the room.The full swing of the door knocked my phone that was on the floor into the other room before I could even grab it, too.I stood frozen at the entrance. Suddenly, this spacious hotel room felt like a trap."I knew it…" Victor sighed with relief. "I knew I recognized you at the masquerade ball.""W-what are you doing here?" My vo

    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
