I Said Yes to My Ex's Enemy Chapter 74 A Second Gift
Emily let out a soft hum, eyes still closed.“I should be asking you that. Your office might need hazard pay.” Adrian chuckled quietly, the sound low and warm in his chest.“I’ll take the damage. Worth it.” They stayed like that for another long minute. No rush. No obligations. Just a quiet moment suspended in their own world. Then finally, Emily shifted slightly, resting her chin on his shoulder and glancing down at the floor where a few papers had fallen. “You think your team heard anything?” Adrian smirked.“Not unless they’ve got microphones in the carpet.” She rolled her eyes, swatting his chest lightly before going still again. Her phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen—Lila(Video Call)—then looked at Adrian. He gave a slight nod, lips curving. She answered. “Lila!”Emily smiled, tilting the camera so her friend could see her clearly. “I’m back!”she beamed.“Finally. My professor dragged me across five countries, three labs, and one very haunted guest hou

“I saw them today and thought of you,”she said.“They just dropped this morning. Limited edition.” Adrian pulled one out, inspecting it.“You really have a thing for giving me these.” She shrugged, lips tugging into a soft smile.“You look good in them.” He set the box down and pulled her closer by the waist.“Then I guess you’re officially responsible for putting them on me from now on.” Her smile widened. “Deal.” Emily laughed softly.“Then let me practice. I’ve never actually put cufflinks on anyone before.” Adrian arched a brow, amused.“What an honor,”he murmured, and casually popped open the ones he was wearing.“Go on. Use these.” She took the new set from the box, fingers careful as she slid them through the cuffs. Her brows furrowed slightly in concentration—Adrian didn’t take his eyes off her. Then his phone buzzed. he answered with one hand. “Hey,”he said, voice warm but casual. The voice on the other end was easy, familiar—his longtime friend, Nate. “M

More murmurs. Another woman nearby raised a brow.“Yeah, sounds like she knew exactly what she wanted.” Just then— The door slammed open. Conversation halted mid-sentence. Glasses stilled. Heads turned. Lila stood in the doorway, framed by the dim glow of the hallway behind her. She was all sharp lines and darker edges—long black leather dress hugging her frame, stilettos clicking like a warning shot against the polished wood floor. And her face— That unmistakable bone structure, those piercing eyes, the cool poise in her expression. There was no mistaking it. Adrian Blackwood’s sister. Her gaze swept the room, cutting through the murmurs and glances like a scalpel. It didn’t search. It landed—straight on Vivian. Lila arched a brow, the corners of her mouth lifting in something that wasn’t quite a smile. “Sorry to interrupt,”she said, voice smooth as silk but cold as steel.“But it sounded like someone was name-dropping my family.” The room went still. Chairs

Adrian didn’t speak right away. But when he did,his voice was colder than steel. “I see.” Someone near the table let out a shaky breath.Another man looked like he was considering crawling under the table. He had expected this. The moment someone—somewhere—would try to drag Emily’s name through the mud. Adrian voice still quiet—but with a sharpness that sliced through the air like a scalpel.“Let me make this clear.” Lila stayed silent.The others barely breathed. “It was me who pursued Emily.Me who asked her to marry me.She said yes.” A pause. “If anyone in that room still has questions about my wife,”Adrian continued,each word deliberate,“they’re welcome to bring them to my office at E International.Tomorrow.In person.” There was a click. Call ended. Lila set the phone down on the table—slow,deliberate.Like she was laying down a weapon. The room was dead silent. No one moved.No one spoke. Someone—somewhere—exhaled the breath they hadn’t realized they w

Emily blinked, then laughed softly.“I was going to wait until everything was ready to reach out. But yes, I am. And if any of you want in, I’d love to have you.” Word spread like a spark on dry kindling. Members from A group, B group—familiar faces with eager eyes—turned toward her, nodding, asking if it was true. Emily nodded.“It’s not fancy yet. We’re still laying the foundation. But if you’re willing to take a leap with me…” “You don’t even have to ask,”Lily said.“We’re in.” Emily smiled. It didn’t matter what she had left behind anymore. Because what she was building—was hers. - After wrapping things up at A Design, Emily headed out and got into her car. Emily had only been driving for about five minutes when it happened. A screech of tires. The sudden slam of metal against metal. A car veered sharply into hers, clipping the side mirror and jolting her vehicle with a force that sent her heart lurching into her throat. She froze. The world spun for a sec

Adrian’s expression softened. He reached out, pulled her gently into his arms. She didn’t speak, not right away. Just breathed. Just trembled. He pressed a kiss to her hair. Then, quietly— “Sometimes the body remembers what the mind forgets. Especially when it’s something you weren’t ready to carry.” His thumb brushed along the back of her hand, grounding her. “Sometimes the mind tucks things away until it’s ready,”Adrian said softly, brushing a strand of hair from her face.“Especially when you’re that young. Four years old…most people don’t remember much.” “But something in you held onto it,”he added, his voice quiet but certain.“And whatever it was—whoever they were—you weren’t alone then.” He leaned closer, pressing a steady kiss to her temple. “And you’re not alone now,”he whispered.“Whatever you remember, whenever it comes back—I’ll be here. You don’t have to carry it

The next morning, Emily was about to grab her purse and head out—the interior designer from E International had texted, asking her to come by and check out the preliminary renovation plans for her personal design studio. She picked up her car keys from the counter—but her fingers hesitated. A small tremble ran through them. Just as she was about to tell the driver she might need him to take her instead, the distant growl of an engine caught her ear. Emily turned—and froze. A bright yellow SUV pulled into the driveway. The window rolled down. Adrian. He smiled lazily at her from behind the wheel.“Come see your new ride. Tell me if you like it.” Emily stared for a second, stunned. The SUV was wild and beautiful—bold yellow with clean, muscular lines that somehow managed to look both untamed and sophisticated. Even the rims were touched with a subtle, eye-catching gleam of color. Before she could find words, Adrian cut the engine, got out, and walked over. He pr

Emily caught a glimpse of Adrian holding his phone up, filming something. She tilted her head curiously. “What are you doing?” He didn’t look away from the screen as he answered, voice low and steady. “Recording you,”he said.“So next time you’re scared, you can look back and remember this feeling—this moment when you chose courage. Then, little by little, we’ll stack up so many good memories that the fear won’t stand a chance.” Emily blinked, then smiled—a small, genuine smile that reached her eyes. He was right. Facing things, handling them one step at a time, was how real confidence was built. Not overnight. But piece by piece. Her heart felt lighter. When they finally headed back down the winding mountain roads, Emily kept her hands steady on the wheel, a quiet kind of pride blooming in her chest. They decided to stop for lunch on Lexford Boulevard again. Emily pulled into a spot near the restaurant. As she climbed out, a loose piece of gravel shifted under he

I Said Yes to My Ex's Enemy Chapter 93 Where Light Touches Skin
They didn’t have to go far. Just a short walk through the backyard garden,past a row of trimmed hedges and down a stone path,and the lake came into view—glass-still under the golden afternoon sky. The cottage sat at the edge,tucked under a willow tree,its windows glowing with soft light. Emily brought a camera,her travel lightbox,a few props,and a velvet tray lined with necklaces.Adrian carried the rest. Inside,the room smelled faintly of cedar and morning sun.She cleared off the long table by the window,set up her backdrops,and arranged the first few pieces. She tried a couple shots. Then frowned. “What’s wrong?”Adrian asked from the doorway. Emily exhaled.“They’re too flat.Jewelry like this doesn’t come alive until someone’s wearing it.Unless it’s a giant diamond,it needs movement.Skin.Light.” He stepped inside.“So…what you’re saying is…” She turned to him,eyes bright.“Would you model for me?” Adrian raised an eyebrow.“You want me to wear your designs?” “Yo
I Said Yes to My Ex's Enemy Chapter 92 The Truth Beneath the Surface
Somewhere between the surge of reposts and media coverage,a legal document quietly leaked—partially redacted,but detailed enough to raise alarms.The date.The charge.The vague outline of an incident. Mike zoomed in on one line. “Suspect arranged for a third party to carry out a calculated vehicular collision.Minor exterior damage reported.” His heart skipped. Another line stood out: “Incident occurred a month ago.Location:Lexford Boulevard,directly in front of the A Design building.Victim declined to press charges.” Mike’s fingers froze on the screen. Lexford Boulevard. He knew that street.It was the main drive right outside their company. He scrolled further,eyes locked on the faint scan of a traffic report attached near the end of the document—blurred plate numbers,incident time,vehicle model. And there it was. His eyes locked onto it. The license plate number. He knew that number by heart. It was Emily’s. Mike’s throat dried. He thought she was just
I Said Yes to My Ex's Enemy Chapter 91 The Truth Hits Back
Statement from Adrian Apologies for taking up public space.I originally created this account just to quietly follow and support my wife’s work. First,let me be clear:Emily Hart sold her shares legally.The rumors about her"taking someone’s money"are baseless. Second,regarding the jewelry division—please see images4and5.These show A Design's jewelry sales and financial growth over the past three years.Since Emily took over,performance has only improved.Her contributions are undeniable.She’s an exceptional designer,and the numbers speak for themselves. As for our relationship:Emily and Mike Morgans parted ways peacefully.I was the one who pursued her.I was the one who proposed.And if there’s anything I’m most grateful for this year—it’s the chance to be her partner. Many of the posts circulating now include claims from so-called“insiders”who clearly lack the facts.This looks less like gossip and more like a coordinated smear campaign. The individuals mentioned in these accusa
I Said Yes to My Ex's Enemy Chapter 90 You Don’t Know Me
The phone rang barely a second after Emily removed Mike from her block list. She stared at the screen,lips tightening,then answered. “Emily,”Mike’s voice came through smooth,laced with concern.“I saw the news.The posts,the comments…all of it.” He sighed deeply,like it pained him. “I’m really worried about you.Adrian clearly hasn’t done enough to protect you.You shouldn’t have to deal with this alone.” Emily said nothing. “I can help,”he continued.“I can speak out.I can get Vivian to clarify everything—the plagiarism rumors,the third-party drama.It can all go away.” Emily’s eyes narrowed. “That doesn’t sound like you,”she said quietly.“Why would you help me now?” A pause. Then Mike answered,soft and deliberate,“There’s just one condition.” Emily’s stomach turned. “You come back to me.” She inhaled sharply.“No need to go that far.I just need you to clarify one thing—that we ended things peacefully.” But Mike’s tone snapped. “No.Don’t think you can cut me
I Said Yes to My Ex's Enemy Chapter 89 Under Public Fire
The night passed quietly. But the internet didn’t sleep. What began as a wave of admiration—comments praising how sweet and in sync Emily and Adrian seemed—slowly started to twist as darkness settled in. Somewhere, someone began to whisper. And in the quiet of midnight, whispers became headlines. “Runaway Bride? Sources say Emily Hart ditched her CEO fiancédays before their wedding.” “Not so innocent:insider claims Emily took half the design team when she left A Design.” “They say she sold her shares. But wasn’t it really a trade-up move to E International?” “Swapped a fiancéfor a Forbes-listed husband. Her financial growth curve beats any IPO.” The jokes got darker. So did the comments. By noon the next day, the tide had shifted. What had started as trending adoration had become wildfire scandal. Emily’s brand account had exploded with new followers—but the majority weren’t there for her work. They came with screenshots, accusations, wild speculation. Th
I Said Yes to My Ex's Enemy Chapter 88 What the World Sees
The interview and shoot were scheduled just days later, and the production team had already planned a short behind-the-scenes video to be released on social media first— a chance to ride the momentum while it lasted. Still, as Emily stood in the spotlight of the photo studio, the lights glaring overhead, she felt a twist of nerves in her stomach. The lighting rig blocked half her view. She could barely see beyond the softboxes, let alone the studio door. She took a quiet breath and tried to focus. From behind the equipment, she heard the director chuckle. A warm, baritone voice followed with a teasing edge: “Well, well. Look who’s here. Didn’t expect to see you.” Emily glanced up instinctively. And there he was. Adrian—tall, sharp, completely out of place in a room full of rolling racks and lens flares—yet somehow fitting in all the same. He gave the director a polite nod. “Thought I’d drop by,”he said easily.“My wife’s first major cover. Wouldn’t miss it.”
I Said Yes to My Ex's Enemy Chapter 87 More Than Just a Dream
The next morning,sunlight spilled softly across the edge of the bed,catching on the pale gold curtains. Emily blinked awake,still wrapped in the warmth of Adrian’s arms. For a long moment,she didn’t move—just listened to the slow,steady rhythm of his breathing behind her,the quiet peace that followed everything they’d left on that stage. Then her phone buzzed. She reached for it sleepily,squinting at the screen. And froze. Notifications were flooding in—social media mentions,article headlines,blog posts,tags,messages,comment threads that seemed to scroll endlessly. The brand’s official account was trending. Her name was trending. Even#MobiusBride was trending. She stared at it,eyes wide,then turned to look back at Adrian,who had stirred awake,watching her with half-lidded eyes. "Did you…pay for all this promotion?"she asked,still dazed,the phone now resting against his bare chest. Adrian lifted an eyebrow,amused. "As a financial investor,the first thing I a
I Said Yes to My Ex's Enemy Chapter 86 The Night She Took the Stage
As the applause faded and the lights dimmed slightly, a soft transition played across the massive LED screen behind Emily. The crowd turned to look— and there it was. A sleek, elegant Möbius strip, rendered in brushed platinum and rose gold, slowly rotated on the screen. It was the official brand symbol of her new line. The host, standing beside the podium, turned toward her with a smile. “Ms. Hart, could you tell us a bit about the meaning behind this design?” Emily smiled, steady and poised, her voice carrying gently through the mic. “The Möbius strip has a fascinating history,” she began. “It’s a one-sided surface—continuous, infinite. No beginning, no end. It symbolizes unity, eternity, and the beautifully complex nature of connection.” She paused, then added, her eyes softening slightly. “When I created this brand, a part of its philosophy was inspired by my husband. This symbol you see here is also the foundation of our wedding ring design. Because I believe every s
I Said Yes to My Ex's Enemy Chapter 85 The Claiming
The space between them stretched thin, charged and brittle. People around them were starting to notice, glancing over with curious eyes. The gift box remained suspended awkwardly between them, Mike’s hand still waiting, expectant. Emily’s fingers curled into her side, rigid with the effort not to move, not to take it. A heartbeat later, a warm hand closed over the box. Another arm slid around her waist in a firm, unmistakable claim. Emily exhaled in a rush as Adrian pulled her gently against him, his presence a wall between her and everything else. He turned to Mike with a polished smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “Mike,”Adrian said smoothly, his voice calm and cutting all at once. “Good to see you. Please, enjoy the evening. Have a seat.” Without waiting for a response, Adrian laced his fingers through Emily’s and steered her away with effortless possession. Emily followed, her heart hammering, the heat of his hand grounding her as they moved through the crow
