  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.

    He looked up at her—lips parted,chest rising with every breath—and held her gaze as her fingers traced his collarbone,his jaw,his temple.  She didn’t look away.  The leather sofa groaned beneath his back, slick with the heat of their bodies, as Emily braced her hands on his chest, her fingers splaying over the hard planes of muscle that flexed beneath her touch.  The air was electric, thick with the scent of sweat and cedar, the distant lake’s ripples a faint echo against the storm of their connection.  Adrian’s hands tightened, his fingers digging into the soft flesh of her hips, urging her into a rhythm that was no longer measured but wild, relentless.  Each upward thrust of his hips sent a shockwave through her, her body jolting with the force, the sensation so intense it bordered on overwhelming.  Emily’s breaths came in sharp, uneven bursts, her hair clinging to her sweat-dampened brow as she struggled to keep pace, her thighs burning with the effort to stay upright.  The

    Adrian glanced at her—really looked—and then,without a word,he slipped an arm under her knees and the other around her back. Emily gave a soft gasp of surprise as he lifted her. “Adrian—” But he only smiled,quiet and sure,and carried her the short distance to the nearby sofa.He set her down with care,like something precious.His hands didn’t leave her—not right away. The sofa was too small for this. That was the first thought that flickered through Adrian's mind as Emily's back met the cushions,her legs bracketing his hips. He leaned in again,kissing her this time with more weight,more intent.One of his hands came up to cup her cheek,his thumb brushing lightly beneath her eye before trailing down along her jawline. Emily’s breath caught. His other hand settled gently at her side,fingers pressing lightly through the soft fabric of her top,seeking the curve of her waist as if reacquainting himself with something he already knew by heart. The kiss deepened aga

  • 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

    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.

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

      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.”

      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
