Divorced By One Billionaire, Claimed By Another

Emma’s POV“Is the gift ready?” I asked Jane, my assistant. The wind blew, causing goosebumps to grow on my skin. Maybe the skimpy dress I had chosen wasn’t worth it.“Yes ma’am, it’s already packed in the bag” she smiled, opening the door to let me into the car.I nodded, my mind was full of too much to do. There were too many things on my mind. “Good, prepare the documents for tomorrow's meeting by eleven but until then, you’re free” I smiled, knowing she would be happy for the break.“Thank you ma’am” and I was on my way. I couldn’t help the smile on my face from widening even further. The thought of seeing Alexander, didn’t matter how many times I had before sent butterflies moving in my stomach. Soon we arrived at the already packed venue and as anticipated, the media stormed towards me, questions on their lips, all of which I ignored.“Take the gift to the stage” I told the maid that had come to get my jacket.She bowed, “Immediately Mrs. Cross.”I felt my cheeks heat up, eve

Emma’s POV“You should go” Marie said, her brows were shot up as if she were asking me the question rather than giving me the go ahead.The screen sat open on the table in front of me, my mind racing with several ideas. Maybe he wanted to fix things. He could have seen the media’s reactions and I wanted to fix them as well.“I want to” I finally said the words out loud.She nodded slowly, “Then you should” she stood up, walking to the tray that held keys in the kitchen. She came up to me and handed it to me, “There you can use my car”I stared down at it, my mouth open in surprise, “Are you serious?”She raised a brow, “Why are you acting like this sis anything really? We’re basically sisters, of course you could use my car and maybe if y’all make it up to each other then this means I can get some elite dinner in repayment”My eyes were sparkling in gratefulness, “Thank you so much Marie.” I stood up, wearing my jacket and then walked away.There was a slight spring in my steps as I g

Emma’s POV When morning the next day came, I was expecting to wake up to news that a few more investors had reached out, not to Marie shaking me repeatedly. “You need to see this. Wake up”My eyes opened, slowly, I had all the time in the world. “What is it? So urgent that you had to wake me up. What even is the time”“This is serious” Marie’s voice gave me chills. It held the depth of a seriousness she hardly ever portrayed. “You need to see this now!”I sat up straight, cleaning the sleep from my eyes. “What happened?” I asked.She handed the phone over to me, “I really don’t want you to see this but you will anyway” she turned the screen on and the video began to play.My familiar face and body displayed on the screen and I felt the breath leave my lungs. The video continued to play but it felt like I wasn’t seeing it. The sounds continued but my mind was somewhere else.I remembered very clearly what I was looking at. Our sixth year anniversary and I had made the stupid initiati

Emma’s POV I found myself looking down at his large hands and slowly I took it. His hands covered mine, enveloping it in his warm ones. The minute the y touched, I felt something I couldn’t explain and a small thrill that ran through me , settling at my base. There wasn’t time to think before I found myself withdrawing my hands from his. His face remained blank, “Take a seat” he gestured to the chair beside me. “You may now leave us Earle” this time he addressed his words to the man who had escorted me in whose presence I had forgotten. The door closed behind him and now we were alone. I took a seat, “You called for a meeting Mr. Blake.” I presented a small smile. He nodded slowly but didn’t sit down. There was something unsettling about, like he held a special power standing than I did while sitting. “You would be right…” he trailed off, “May I call you Emma, I have strong reason to believe these formalities wont last much longer” I raised a brow at the way he said it but nodded

Aaron opened the files, “All you need to do is place your signature here and we can begin” his voice had dropped, something else in them and when I looked in his eyes, the gray had changed to look something like silver. I inhaled, “And I can trust that this document holds everything you promised?” “You can read it for yourself. I am a business man Ms. Carter, I thrive on honesty, nothing less” I pushed away the doubts in my mind and slowly signed the dotted lines. As I did so, I remembered the last contract I had signed, a divorce. When I finished it, I pushed it over to him, “It’s signed now” He smiled and took a seat, I noticed the difference in his body language. His shoulders had dropped and his eyes were gray again. “Welcome to the family Ms. Carter” I shook my head, I think it’s Emma now” reminding him what he had told me the day before. He nodded slowly, “You’re right but we have to do this the right away. Nobody is going to believe us if we just come out as a married cou
