Emily's POV

“What...happened to Skylar?” I asked immediately. Panic filling my chest.

Tyler looked at me, and the tension in his eyes made my heart drop. “It’s Mom,” he said, but his voice trembled. “Mom called. Skylar is having a panic attack. She’s… breaking stuff. She’s completely out of control.”

My eyes widened and a gasp escaped me. “What? Wasn’t she in her room?”

He shook his head, running a shaky hand through his hair. “I don’t know.”

He started the ignition, but his hands were shaking really bad. He was so tense I could practically feel the anxiety vibrating off him.

I reached out, placing my hand gently on his shoulder. “Tyler… please relax. We’re going home now. We’ll get there soon.”

He nodded slowly, but I could tell he barely even heard me; his mind was somewhere else entirely.

The rest of the drive was suffocatingly silent. My heart wouldn’t stop racing. I kept swallowing nothing, again and again, because all I could think was. What triggered Skylar this badly?

  • Desired by the Billionaire Playboy    Chapter 48: Until you lose it

    Emily's POV I just stood there, frozen in place, my heartbeat thudding so loudly in my ears. I swallowed, trying to steady myself, but my hands still trembled at my sides.A slow smirk spread across Brad’s face as he stroked his chin, amusement dancing in his eyes like he’d been waiting for my exact reaction.“Ah… are you so surprised to see me, Mrs. Miller?” he drawled, emphasizing the name. I straightened, forcing myself to breathe normally. I refused to let him see me crumble ever again.“Why… why are you here?” I asked, lifting my chin slightly. “The supervisor said the boss would like to see me.”Brad’s smirk deepened as he pushed back his chair and rose to his feet with slow confidence.“I’m the boss,” he said. “I’m the co-owner of this company, Mrs. Miller.” He said, his eyes trained on me. “And the moment I saw your name and information on your curriculum vitae… I didn’t hesitate. I hired you immediately.”I swallowed again.“You know why?” he asked, his voice low.I met his

  • Desired by the Billionaire Playboy    Chapter 47: He's around today 

    Emily's POV My heart felt like it was splitting in two. The paper slipped from my fingers, lightly falling to the floor. I clutched my chest, trying to breathe but failing.Wendy grabbed me immediately. “Emily…”I couldn’t speak. My hands were ice-cold, shaking uncontrollably. The word kept echoing in my head. Positive.“It’s… I told you, Wendy,” I whispered, my voice breaking. “We shouldn’t have come here.”“Emily…”“We shouldn’t have come here,” I said again, louder this time, my voice cracking. Everything inside me was breaking loose. Wendy’s expression softened, guilt washing over her face.I staggered backward, and before I could fall, Tyler quickly moved to hold me. His hands touched my arms.“Emily, please… try to relax, okay?” he said quickly, his voice trembling. “Just hear me out. I’ve been trying to talk to you I—”“Let go of me,” I hissed.“Emily…” Tyler swallowed, stepping closer instead of backing off. “I’ve been worried sick. You weren’t taking my calls. I just…can we

  • Desired by the Billionaire Playboy    Chapter 46: The results 

    Emily's POV “Wendy, I really don’t want to go,” I mumbled, dragging the pillow over my ears, trying to block out her voice.She sighed and then pulled the blanket from my body, leaving me exposed. I shrank back instinctively, hugging the pillow to myself. “We have to go, Emily,” she said firmly. “And we have to go right now. Tyler’s already at the hospital.”I groaned, pressing the pillow against my face again. “I really don’t want to go.”She knelt beside me, her hands on my shoulders, and shook me gently. “Emily, you can’t hide forever. He’s going to see the results today, and you need to be there. We need to know the truth, once and for all.”My stomach twisted, and I felt tears prick my eyes. “What if it’s positive, Wendy? What if… what if it’s true?” My voice was almost a whisper. I could barely breathe at the thought.Wendy dropped her hands for a moment, staring at me with a soft gaze. Then she let out a slow breath. “Then we deal with it,” she said finally. “Step by step. One

  • Desired by the Billionaire Playboy    Chapter 45: Twenty fours

    Tyler's POV I got up quickly. “Let’s go to the hospital right now and get the test done”I was about to move, but then he held my wrist firmly, stopping me. “Whoa, not so fast,” he said, looking me straight in the eye.I frowned, pulling back slightly. “What do you mean?”“You’re drunk. You can’t go out like this,” he said calmly. “We’ll go in the morning.”I shook my head, frustrated. “I’m not drunk, Ethan! I’m just… tipsy!”He crossed his arms. “Tyler, let’s just go in the morning when I’m completely sure you’re sober. You can’t go to the hospital looking furious, depressed, and with your mouth reeking of alcohol.”I opened my mouth to argue, but he held up a hand. “Tyler, please. Let’s just go in the morning. It’ll be much better. First thing in the morning, we’ll go.I clenched my fists. I really wanted to go. I just wanted to get this sorted out right now. The thought of spending another night in suspense was unbearable. Was the test real? Was it not real? Was Vivian really preg

  • Desired by the Billionaire Playboy    Chapter 44: I was the jerk

    Tyler's POVI clenched my fists and turned away from Wendy’s house, the rain soaking me. I didn’t care. The cold water dripped down my face, and ran straight into my clothes.My mind was a storm of its own, heavier than the rain falling on my head. I didn’t even get to see her. I groaned as I got into my car.I genuinely thought that if I could talk to her. Maybe I could apologize properly. Maybe I could explain. Maybe… she wouldn’t hate me.But from the way Wendy sounded, Emily didn't want to see me. Wendy said her eyes were red and puffy. She’d been crying so much. Because of me.I leaned back, hitting my head against the seat. I used to think women were the problem. Because of my past, I saw women as toxic, dramatic and manipulative. But now, it was me. I was the jerk. I was the one who’d broken a woman like Emily.She was bright like the sun, pure like spring water. She walked into my life like she didn’t even know how bright she was, how gentle she was. And somehow, without tryin

  • Desired by the Billionaire Playboy     Chapter 43: I came to see my wife

    Emily's POV The moment Wendy asked that question, my entire body froze.Everything inside me stopped, even the sound of the rain outside seemed to fade out. My heart started racing so fast in my chest.And then I burst into tears all over again, my chest shaking so violently it hurt. “I do, Wendy,” I cried. “I love him. I… I fell in love with him.” My voice cracked, and I covered my face, sobbing harder. “Wendy, I really love Tyler. I love him so much… so, so much.”The words kept spilling out of me.“He’s… he’s so nice, Wendy. And he’s… I love his personality. I love the way he is. How kind he is, and how he talks to me, and how he… he looks at me sometimes. I love him so much, Wendy. I do.”Wendy pulled me into her arms instantly, hugging me so tightly I could barely breathe, but somehow that was exactly what I needed.“Shh… it’s okay, Emily,” she whispered against my hair. “It’s okay. It’s not your fault.”I hiccupped through my sobs, clutching the front of her shirt.“How could y
