Emma.

When we arrived at the hotel, it was like another bomb exploding in our minds. Gregory paced back and forth in the room, his face red as he gestured while speaking with his lawyer about the situation. We should be enjoying ourselves now, but I felt trapped, unable to do so.

“We can’t leave the city,” he threw his phone onto the bed and ran a hand over his face. “We can’t go back home either, not until the Spanish police clear us.”

“This could take months,” I said, feeling discouragement wash over me. “Then let’s drop the complaint.”

“Things aren’t that simple, Emma,” he huffed, lifting his head toward the ceiling as if pleading for help from the heavens. “Let’s make the most of our trip. I won’t let Edward take this from me, too.”

Bravely, Gregory took my hand and pulled me out of the room. I didn’t question him, trusting his decision, though my heart pounded uncontrollably in my chest, fearing that Edward would appear again to finish what he had started. On the way to the build

  • Forced to Marry the cruel Billionaire   Chapter 104

    EmmaThe nightmare seemed to be ending. I looked at Gregory as he slept beside me in bed, and I thought it was a miracle he was alive. In the end, we are both a miracle, saved by the love we felt for each other.I should never have fallen in love with the man who bought me like merchandise, but I kept thinking about the countless paths and destinies my life would have taken if he hadn’t done it.My mother is dead, and I live with an abusive stepfather. What fate would I have had if Gregory hadn’t chosen me? Some evils come for the good, and in the end, his greed saved me.“Are you awake already?” His voice broke through my dreams. He stretched and wrapped his arms around my legs, resting his head on my lap.“It’s so good, being home, being with you,” he said, his voice sleepy, eyes closed. “There wasn’t a single day while I was in that captivity that I didn’t think of you. It was the will to see you again that saved me.”“And I’m so glad they rescued you,” I said, kissing his head.My

    GregoryI went to the hospital. They barely recognized me. Without any ID or contact information, I asked them to call my wife and tell her I was alive.I was malnourished, and the doctor said it was a miracle I was still alive. I asked them to call the police; I had a report to make, and I would only be quiet when Edward paid for all the harm he had done to me.“You need to calm down, Mr. Gregory,” the nurse tried to contain my fury, “the doctor is already on the way.”“I don’t want a doctor; I want my wife,” I shouted at him. “I want the police; don’t you understand I survived an attempt on my life?”It was a race against time. I needed to resolve this as quickly as possible before Edward found out I was alive and so close, and hunted me down to finish the job. I decided I had to escape the hospital and go to the police. Not only that, but I was weak and could barely stand. Everything was chaotic. I ripped the IV from my arm and, pushing the nurse, I ran.Where did I get the strengt

    Emma.Three months had passed, and there was no news or clue that could lead me to Gregory’s whereabouts. Now, Edward was once again president of Helena’s companies, and there was no one who could stop him.I couldn’t sleep at night trying to find a solution. I spent sleepless nights searching for any place where Edward could have hidden Gregory and Helena, but I was unable to find even a spark.He had fought so hard for my survival, even when I didn’t believe. Gregory was there to make me believe that I would be cured of cancer and that we would finally live our love story. I had survived cancer; I was the miracle Gregory had believed in so much, but he wasn’t here to live this incredible moment with me.One day before being discharged from the hospital, I heard the doctor say that Gregory’s love had saved me from cancer. I don’t know whether doctors can believe in miracles or in theories like that, but it was certainly the fact that I felt loved by him that helped me overcome all th

    Gregory.I had no idea what time of day it was anymore, or even what day of the week I was in—much less how many days I had spent in this damp and dark place. I saw flashes of sunlight coming through the hole in the worn-out roof tile. Not only that, but I heard the birds singing, the frogs, and the crickets at night, but time no longer seemed to exist for me.I was weak, with a horrible odor emanating from my body, and I was hungry. Food was only offered once, and only when they didn’t leave me there all day, locked up in that place without eating anything at all.I knew Masson’s true intentions. He was going to weaken me to take away any chance of escape, but I needed to find strength somewhere to escape and find Emma again.I heard, when the men returned, the car tire rolling over the dirt road. Then, voices invaded the old cabin. They laughed and joked around, but I didn’t hear Masson’s voice.He wasn’t with his companions.One of them opened the door and looked inside when he saw

    Emma.Tears streamed down my face. It was contradictory that I wanted Gregory gone yet cried because he had supposedly left. I was planning to ask for a divorce, but now it felt like a hole had been opened in my chest, one no one could fix.I didn’t see when Edward approached and placed his hand on my shoulder, but I flinched as soon as I felt his touch. Not only that, but I still had doubts about him because of everything Edward had done. For trying to kidnap me when I was in the hospital, for trying to murder Gregory in Spain, and now for being the bearer of this letter I didn’t even know was real.“I’m so sorry, Emma,” he lamented, but I couldn’t believe the act. “I attempted to warn you that Gregory wouldn’t change, but you didn’t listen to me.”A shiver ran down my spine, and I pulled away. Edward’s expression suddenly changed. I wanted to stress that not even with all the effort in the world, would he ever earn my trust back? I didn’t want that man near me—I was afraid of what h

    EmmaWhen I woke up, Gregory was no longer by my side. Lia was dozing, her mouth open, and I found it funny the way she slept, but the smile disappeared as soon as I looked around and didn’t see him.I had asked him in the past few days to leave, to disappear from my life. I had ardently wished for that to happen, but when I didn’t see him, a wave of despair took over my chest.Waking up without him by my side scared me. I shook Lia, and she woke up startled. She looked at me and, after a while, realized where she was. I gave her a moment to recover and to ask where Gregory was.“He went home,” she got up, stretching, “and he said he needed to get back to work. He’s the president of the company now. Isn’t that amazing?”Lia reminded me of the reasons that drove me away from Gregory. The lies he told me, the truth he refused and hid from me, the way he used me for the second time. My heart started to ache again, and I began to feel angry at him once more.Why should I miss a man who, e
