Scott’s bodyguards rushed forward, forming a barricade between the reporters and the aisle.

Scott turned to Gerry, who stood beside him now.

“I want every single one of them out. Right now. Secure the building—no more surprises.”

Gerry nodded and moved quickly, barking orders to the security team. Within moments, bodyguards began ushering reporters toward the exit.

Gerry returned to Scott’s side.

Scott looked at Emily. “Gerry will escort you inside. I’ll be with you shortly.”

Gerry offered his

    "It's rude and disrespectful to walk into someone's room uninvited, Susan."Emily was tired of everyone trying to walk over her.Jane. Kevin. Her father.And Susan definitely wasn't going to get a chance.She saw the shock on Susan's face."And who the hell do you think you are talking to me that way, you charity case?" Susan snapped.Emily's anger boiled and spilled over.Emily stood."I am Mrs. Hunter. The woman of this house. You should show some respect or show yourself out."Susan froze.A satisfying feeling washed over Emily.It was intoxicating."One phone call to Scott and you'll be out of the house.""Why you—""Watch your tone, Susan."Emily saw Susan's eyes go red with rage.Susan's mouth opened. Closed.Then she turned and stormed out.A rush flooded Emily's veins.Power.She'd never felt anything like it.Then Scott's words played in her head."You're the wife of a billionaire. You can do whatever you want."Emily giggled.For weeks, Susan made her feel unwelcome.Not any

    Emily stood in front of Kevin’s Cuisine.Drenched in spoiled milk.The stench clung to her hair, her skin, her clothes.The construction workers around her started moving back.They were all staring. Some whispered. Others covered their noses, faces twisting in disgust.She looked up and saw Jane’s car speeding off.Emily’s feet were stuck to the ground.Where was she even supposed to begin?How do you recover from this?“What’s going on?” Kevin’s voice cut through the murmurs.The crowd parted.She saw his eyes widen with surprise.“What the hell, Em?” He moved toward her.Emily couldn’t speak.Aside from the fact that she was still recovering from shock, she was also worried that if she opened her mouth, the spoiled milk would drip in.Almost like Kevin understood the situation perfectly.“Come. First let’s get you cleaned up.”He gestured, and she followed him.They went into the restaurant, past the setup, all the way to the back.Emily was dripping everywhere.“Sorry about—the fl

  • Her Forbidden Deal With The Billionaire   Chapter 53 - Jane Sullivan: Spoiled Milk

    “If Ian doesn’t win, it’s over for all of us, Jane.” Patricia’s tone was sharp. “Even if that means sabotaging Scott Hunter, then so be it.”Every month Patricia organized a meeting at her bookstore—dusty shelves, the same worn leather chair where Patricia delivered her ultimatums.Now it was all about the inheritance.And Jane was the closest Patricia would get to it.And now Nate was involved too.A means to an end. That’s all Jane and Nate were to Patricia.Jane’s hands clenched into fists.“I’m working on it.”“Work faster.” Patricia snapped. “God, when Silvia was alive it didn’t take this much to get money from the Hunters.”“It’s not magic. These things take time.”“I’m not sure what you guys are talking about.” Nate leaned back, arms behind his head. “Nothing takes time with me.”Jane’s heart jumped. She knew exactly what he meant.“You in?” she asked her brother.“In like an 8 ball.”“You’ve always been the smarter one.” Patricia smiled at Nate.Jane’s jaw tightened.Here we g

    “So when will you be in New York?” Cooper asked Scott from the other end of the call.“Paul says the first hearing is in a couple of days. I’ll be in town tomorrow.”Scott had gotten a text from Paul earlier, filling him in on the details for the first hearing.“Shit. They’re really claiming you killed the man?” Cooper sounded worried.“I honestly can’t wait to see what stupid games dumb and dumber are playing this time.”Cooper chuckled.“Can’t wait to have you back.”“Yeah. Not for long, hopefully,” Scott replied. “I have pressing matters to attend to here. It’s the court, then straight back.”“How are Mia and Emily? I heard Susan’s back too.”“Yeah. They’re all good.”“You know I’d gladly listen to your problems, Scott. But that’s not why I called,” Cooper said.“Yeah, I know. What’s the update?”“The product has been quality tested. We’re good to go.”“So it’s finally ready for production?” Scott asked.“Yes. It just needs your final touch, sensei,” Cooper teased.Scott chuckled.

    “I won’t be gone long—it’ll probably just be an open-and-shut case.”Scott tried to sound convincing.But Emily’s heart had already sunk.As much as Scott tried to reassure her, from what she’d heard, she knew it wasn’t going to be open-and-shut.She believed he was telling the truth.Scott seemed like a lot of things. A killer was not one of them.But he didn’t have to prove it to her. He had to prove it to a court, and that could take months.She’d be alone in his mansion, Susan breathing down her neck.Alone without his protection.Alone after he’d just shown her heaven.Emily was annoyed at the situation, and she couldn’t hide it.She folded her arms and averted her gaze. She pressed her lips together in annoyance.She stayed silent.She saw Scott lean in, trying to find her gaze.She didn’t look at him.“Look, I get it—” Scott started.“Do you?” Emily cut him off. “What happened to appearing as a couple in public?”Scott leaned back and resigned.Emily glanced at him.Scott’s fac

    “You want to see something cool?” Scott asked Emily with a smile.She giggled.“What?”Scott’s heart warmed at the sound of her soft laugh.He hadn’t seen her this carefree in all the months they’d been together.Scott stood up and walked to the library shelf at the wall.He removed the books covering a button and pushed it.The bookshelf jerked, then slid aside to reveal a hidden door.Emily giggled again.“Okay, that’s impressive.”Scott stretched out his hand. She grabbed it and followed him into the room.He saw Emily scan the space.“You have a man cave in your office?”“It’s not a man cave.”“You have a bathroom. A TV. A bar.”She walked to another side of the room.“Miniature car collection.” Emily picked up one of the cars and examined it.“Yeah. Man cave.”Scott moved closer to her.“No. I had it built for the late nights. Never used it.”He grabbed her waist.“But I have a feeling I might start soon.”She laughed softly.“We have to get cleaned up, Scott,” Emily said, playin

    Dead silence.That was two awkward moments in one minute.Emily didn’t need another sign to know she wasn’t welcome here.Scott scratched his forehead, uncomfortable.Then he turned to her. “Sorry about that.”She saw the embarrassment in his eyes.“Mr. Hunter—”Vera Green walked in and stopped whe

    “This is closer to a disaster than a save.” Scott said. “Definitely cutting it close.”People scurried across his mansion grounds. Flowers were arranged in clusters along the garden path. White balloons bobbed in the breeze as staff secured them to posts.Everyone rushed like contestants on a timed

    “I hope you understand,” Emily said quietly. Scott didn’t respond. Didn’t look at her. Watching him challenge Ian had given her a sick satisfaction she couldn’t explain. She’d wanted more. Her body had reacted faster than her thoughts—and she’d kissed him. The look on Ian’s face had been worth i

    “Do I have to repeat myself?” Scott’s gaze bore into the guard. “Or does he have to do it for you?” He gestured to Gerry. Gerry moved his arms from his sides and locked them in front, a silent threat. The guard released Emily’s arm. It was too late to play it cool—the whole lobby was watching
