Emily's POV

I gathered myself up and rose slowly, forcing my shaky legs to move. With my eyes fixed on the floor, I walked quietly out of the office.

My heart felt heavy, so heavy it hurt to breathe. But I refused to break down in front of everyone.

This had been it. Rejection after rejection. Every company, every application always ended the same sting of humiliation all over again. It was beginning to take over my life.

Outside, I flagged down a taxi, my chest tightening as I gave the driver the address to Wendy’s house.

Wendy was the only person by my side.

As the car moved, I stared out the window, watching the world blur past. The guilt sat in my stomach. For the past three weeks, I had been living off Wendy’s salary and kindness without contributing a single thing.

She never complained, but that almost made it worse.

She was a girl too, trying to make ends meet, managing her own struggles. And here I was being a burden she didn’t ask for.

The thought made my eyes sting again. I

  • Desired by the Billionaire Playboy    Chapter 70: She can be very mean

    Tyler's POV I ran a hand through my hair, my fingers trembling as I looked at the doctor. “Doctor… why don’t you have any blood in the blood bank?” My voice cracked. “This is a huge hospital. How could you not have blood?”The doctor’s expression softened. “I know, Mr. Miller. I understand how upsetting this is,” he said gently. “But we ran out of O-negative blood just a few hours ago. We still have other blood types, but your wife can’t receive those. O-negative patients can only receive O-negative blood.”My chest tightened. “So what happens now?” I asked, barely breathing.“We’re making calls,” he replied. “We’re reaching out to nearby hospitals and trying to locate an individual donor as quickly as possible. We’re doing everything we can.”I swallowed hard, my hands clenching into fists. “Can I see her?” I asked quietly. “Please. I just need to see my wife.”The doctor hesitated. “I don’t usually—”“Please,” I cut in, my voice breaking. “I just need to see her.”He sighed, then n

    Tyler's POV “She needs a blood transfusion as soon as possible.”My heart started racing so loudly I could hear it in my ears. “Doctor…okay,” I said quickly, my voice shaking. “Please. Just… just get it done.”The doctor nodded slowly. “We’ll need to run a blood test first to determine her blood type. We’ll try to be as quick as possible. Please be patient and try to relax.”I nodded. “Okay. Okay.”He turned and went back inside the emergency room, and the doors closed.I started pacing immediately, back and forth, my hands trembling. My mind kept replaying the image of Emily bleeding in my arms, her eyes barely open, her body going limp against mine.“Please…Please be okay.” I kept saying over and over.Just then, hurried footsteps echoed down the hallway. “Tyler! Tyler!”I looked ahead and saw Wendy rushing toward me, her face filled with fear.“How is Emily?” she asked breathlessly. “Can I see her?”I swallowed hard, shaking my head. “She’s still in the emergency room. I haven’t e

  • Desired by the Billionaire Playboy    Chapter 68: As soon as possible 

    Tyler's POV Everything happened too fast.Before my brain could even process what was going on, Davis grabbed a glass vase from the side table and swung straight at Emily.“Emily!”Glass cracked and she cried out, her hands flying to her head as blood instantly spilled down her forehead. Her body swayed, her knees giving out, and I was there just in time, catching her as she collapsed into my arms.My vision went red as panic filled my chest.“DAVIS!” I roared, my voice shaking the room.He just stood there, looking completely blank.Ethan moved fast, grabbing him and restraining him before he tried to run away. I didn’t care about anything else. I looked down at Emily.Her eyes fluttered, barely staying open. Her body felt too light in my arms.“Emily,” I whispered urgently, panic rising in my throat. “Emily. Baby. Look at me. Speak to me. Please...”Her lips trembled, but no words came out. Fear hit me at once. “Call the fucking doctor, Ethan!” I shouted, my hands shaking as I pres

  • Desired by the Billionaire Playboy    Chapter 67: The truth

    Emily's POV I held my phone tightly in my hand and ran out of the room. Finally, I had a chance. A chance to tell everyone the truth about Davis, the truth about Vivian, and their stupid scheme. Everything needed to come out.I moved quickly, my heart racing in my chest. When I glanced back, I saw Davis and Vivian rushing after me, Davis in particular, his expression furious. I ran faster, my legs pumping as adrenaline rushed through me.I went up the stairs two at a time, my breath coming in sharp gasps. Davis was going to try to stop me, I just knew it, but I wouldn’t let him. So many emotions filled inside me. Regret that I had treated Tyler the way I did. Joy that Vivian wasn’t pregnant for him. Sadness that Tyler and I had grown apart over something that wasn’t even our fault. My chest ached, my mind raced, but all I could think about was exposing their lies.Finally, I reached Tyler’s door. I grabbed the handle and tried to open it. But it was locked.I panicked instantly and s

    Vivian's POV“Why the hell are you here?” I hissed, my teeth clenched as I glared at Davis.He stepped closer, his eyes dark. “You know too well why the hell I’m here.”I opened my mouth to snap back, but my mother’s hand landed firmly on my shoulder. “Shhh,” she whispered, glancing toward the door. “Vivian. It’s really late. Keep your voice down. You don’t want attention.”I groaned softly, running a hand through my hair. Everything was falling apart fast. That Emily witch was far smarter than I had ever given her credit for. She was too observant, too nosy and too damn inquisitive.If she hadn’t been poking her nose into everything, things would’ve gone exactly as planned. And now Davis was being a thorn in my flesh.If I didn’t find a way to keep him in this house, my secret would be exposed. And I couldn’t let that happen. Davis staying was the only way he wouldn't spill my secret.This was my only chance to keep Tyler. I was so close to finally becoming his woman, walking into ev

  • Desired by the Billionaire Playboy    Chapter 65: You're not alone 

    Emily's POV As I looked into Tyler’s eyes, my chest felt tight. I wondered what he was going to say next. I knew this wasn’t easy for him. Tyler and Davis had been close friends for years. Asking him to let Davis leave the house, even temporarily, wasn’t a small thing.But Skylar’s health mattered more than anyone’s comfort.I swallowed and forced myself to speak.“Please,” I said quietly. “Just let him not stay here for a while. Sort it out, okay?”Tyler didn’t answer immediately. He looked at me, then slowly turned to look at everyone else in the room. My heart was racing. “Tyler…” I continued, my voice shaking. “Please, just trust me on this. I’m begging you. Put your trust in me.”I hated how desperate I sounded, but I didn’t care. I didn’t want Davis in this house anymore. If he was gone, even just for a while, it felt like the first real step toward protecting Skylar and revealing the truth.Tyler sighed deeply, running a hand through his hair . Before he could say anything, M
