Emma gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning white as she drove through the city.

The confrontation with Allison had left her a bit shaken. Even though Allison hadn't figured out the entire truth; the thought of someone like her knowing about Claire’s existence made her stomach churn.

She had done everything to keep her daughter a secret, to ensure that no one—especially David—ever found out. And yet, with just a few photos and some speculation, Allison had come dangerously close to unraveling everything.

Emma exhaled sharply and tried to push the thoughts away. She needed a distraction. Something—anything—to clear her mind.

It wasn’t until she slowed at an intersection that she realized where she had driven. Her eyes widened slightly as she looked at the familiar gate in front of her. The amusement park.

Her amusement park.

Or at least, it used to be.

Her eyes wandered to the park, closed off from visitors. The park had been closed off ever since David gi

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Emotions Buried Beneath

    The sharp ring of a phone jolted Emma back to reality.She blinked, her breath catching in her throat as reality crashed down on her like a cold wave. She wasn’t supposed to be here, wasn’t supposed to let herself fall into old habits, into the warmth of David’s hold. The past had no place in her life anymore.With a sudden jolt, she pushed against his chest, breaking free from his embrace. David felt a sense of loss the moment Emma broke free from his grasp. It felt like a dream come true to have her in his arms, e en for a fleeting moment, but that dream has been cut short by the sound of his phone. Annoyed, he pulled the device from his pocket and switched it to silent mode without even checking the caller. Right now, nothing else mattered.Emma took the moment to steady herself, inhaling deeply as she fought to calm her pounding heart. When she finally spoke, her voice was sharp.“What kind of game are you playing, David?” Her tone was low, but the anger in it was unmistakable.

    As Emma walked away from David, she didn’t turn back. She didn’t hesitate. She just left.Just as she reached her car, her phone rang. It was the hospital number. She froze for a second before answering.“Dr. Morgan?”“Yes, speaking.”“Henry is awake,” the voice on the other end said. “Your presence is needed at the hospital.”Her grip tightened on the phone. “I’ll be there as soon as possible.”Ending the call, she yanked open her car door and slid into the driver’s seat. Turning the key, she expected the familiar hum of the engine, but instead—silence.Emma frowned. She tried again. And again. The car refused to start.“No, no, not now,” she muttered under her breath, trying once more. The car remained dead.Her fingers trembled as she pulled out her phone to call her mechanic, but after several attempts, all she heard was,‘The number you have dialed is currently switched off’“Damn!” Emma exclaimed angrily. She needed to be at the hospital immediately; why wouldn't her car start?

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   The Awkward Moment

    As soon as Emma stepped out of the car, her gaze immediately landed on Allison, who stood a few meters away, watching them intently.She didn’t miss the way Allison tensed, how her fingers curled slightly into her palm before she forced a smile. But Emma saw right through it. The smile was tight, strained—forced. Emma knew exactly what was running through Allison’s mind. She knew Allison would assume the worst, wondering why she was together with David, but she didn’t care.Whatever Allison thought was her problem. Allison, however, quickly masked her emotions. She didn't want to act like a jealous lover jumping to conclusions and acting irrationally in front of David.Instead, she kept her composure and turned to him. “Our son just woke up. Come see him; he's been asking after you.” Her voice was steady, but Emma didn’t miss the flicker of unease in her eyes.David barely got a word in before she grabbed his wrist and pulled him inside.Emma exhaled. She had no reason to follow th

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Laying it Bare

    Emma stepped out of the ward, her gaze following the direction Allison had left. A heavy sigh escaped her lips as she hesitated for a moment before walking after her. She clearly wasn’t fond of Allison, and she knew the feeling was mutual. But this wasn’t about rivalry or resentment—this was about understanding. No matter what, Allison was a mother. She had carried Henry, given birth to him, and raised him alone for two years. That kind of sacrifice could only mean one thing—she had loved David deeply, perhaps still did. Hearing her own son say that she had no real relationship with the man she had built a life around must have felt like a sharp knife cutting through her heart. Emma knew that pain too well. She had felt it more than once. So, despite the differences she had with Allison, she wasn't so heartless not to realize how hurt Allison must have felt at that instant.When she finally found Allison, the sight surprised her. Allison was leaning against a hospital wall in a

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Welcome back

    After leaving the hospital, Emma received a phone call. She answered it without much thought, feeling a bit exhausted by the events of the day.“Ms. Morgan? Your car has been repaired. You can come pick it up now.”Relief washed over her. At least something was finally going right today. “Thank you. I’ll be there soon.” She headed to the repair shop and walked inside. The mechanic greeted her with a nod. “How much do I owe you?” she asked, reaching into her bag. The man hesitated before responding, “It’s already been taken care of, Ms. Morgan.” Emma frowned. “What? By who?” “Mr. Grayson paid for everything.” Emma’s fingers tightened around her wallet.David.Of course, it was him. Always interfering, always handling things on her behalf without even asking. She should’ve known. Emma felt a bit uneasy. She wanted to refuse, to pay for it herself, but what was the point? The mechanic had already been paid. There was nothing more to say. Forcing herself to remain calm,

    About an hour later, Emma was seen carrying a large grocery bag in each hand.As she approached her doorstep, she suddenly stopped in her tracks at the figure standing there.What was he doing here?David stood near the entrance of her house, his posture rigid, hands shoved deep into his pockets—just like he had at the hospital. Emma frowned. Something about him felt really off. Her hands trembled slightly, but she tightened her grip on the grocery bags, forcing herself to stay composed. What was he doing here? Why had he come to her house? A wave of unease settled over her as she stepped closer. Her mind raced—Claire was inside with Christian, and David was standing just right outside her door. Her stomach twisted in panic…He must not see Claire. She could not let that happen.The possibility of father and daughter meeting, of David looking into Claire’s face and realizing the truth, filled her with panic. Her heartbeat pounded in her ears.She had to make him leave—now. Be

    The elevator doors were just about to close when David’s sharp eyes caught sight of movement behind Emma. His entire body went rigid. Christian. He was just stepping out of Emma’s house. David’s blood boiled. A rush of anger flooded his veins, overriding all logic. Without a second thought, he lunged forward, slamming his hand against the elevator doors to force them open again.“What the hell is he doing here, Emma? what is he doing in YOUR house?” His voice was sharp, his dark eyes burning as they locked onto Christian. Emma’s stomach twisted into knots. Her worst fear was coming true. More than anything, she feared what would happen if Claire innocently stepped outside. Ignoring David, her gaze darted to Christian, subtly tilting her head toward the door as if telling him to go back inside. But Christian merely glanced at her, his expression calm. Then, without a word, he patted her shoulder lightly, his touch firm yet reassuring. It was a simple gesture, but it spoke

    “Yes, I want the transition to be gradual,” Christian said over the phone in an authoritative tone. “We can’t afford to disrupt operations too much, but the shift to New York is necessary. The market there is stronger, and our resources will be better utilized.” "Moving the company to the U.S.? That’s a huge shift. How will you handle logistics?” Christain's partner responded over the phone.Christian ran a hand through his hair. “I’ve already spoken to key stakeholders. Some are on board, but others will need convincing. The goal is to relocate the headquarters within the next few years. We’ll start by moving a few major departments, see how it works, and then expand from there.” “The board won’t like this. Some will definitely resist,” the other voice said, expressing his concerns.“That’s expected,” Christian replied. “I’ll handle them. If they can’t see the bigger picture, they’ll be left behind.” After a few more exchanges, Christian ended the call and set his phone down.

    David walked slowly into his hospital room, his eyes dull, his steps heavy. His two closest friends, Max and Felix, stood up from the chairs near his bed the moment they saw him."There you are!" Max said, walking toward him. "We were just about to go look for you. Where the hell did you go? Why did you leave your room in your condition?""Yeah, man, we came in and didn’t find anyone here. Not even Allison," Felix added. "The guards outside said you left without telling them where you went. We’ve been really worried."David didn’t answer. He didn’t even acknowledge their presence. He just walked slowly toward his bed and sat down, staring blankly ahead.The two friends exchanged glances."David," Max said carefully, bending down a bit so he could meet David’s eyes. "What’s going on with you? You okay? Did something happen?"Still no reply.Felix pulled a chair closer and sat beside the bed. "Talk to us, man. We’re not just here to visit. We’re your friends. You can tell us anything."

    "Are you going to pretend you didn’t see me?”Emma froze. Her fingers tightly clutched the clipboard as she closed her eyes.“Stay away from him, Emma,” She said to herself. “Stop caring. Draw the line.”Yet just as she opened her eyes, hardened her resolve not to meddle into David's affairs anymore, and turned to leave again, she heard it—a low, painful groan.Emma turned around sharply.David had slumped down to the floor, holding his side, his face twisted in pain."David!" she called, rushing toward him without thinking. Her heart thudded in her chest as she knelt beside him. Her hands trembled as she touched his arm.He shouldn’t have been out of his room. His body was still weak, still healing. He had no business walking around the hospital like this."You shouldn’t be here," she whispered, trying to steady her voice.David groaned again.Emma glanced around. It was obvious he wouldn’t be able to return to his ward in that condition. Emma didn’t have a choice. She had to take hi

    Dr. Allen had seen enough patients to know when someone was pushing themselves too far. And David, seated upright on the bed with a restless expression and an IV line still in his arm, was doing just that."I just need a walk, Dr. Allen," David muttered. "I’ve been in this room for too long. I feel fine now."Dr. Allen arched a brow, folding his arms. “You feel fine? David, you were brought in barely breathing a week ago. Your body’s still recovering. Walking around unsupervised is not just reckless—it’s dangerous."David exhaled, his eyes fixed on the window. His once sharp features were now pale and hollow, his frame thinner than usual. The last seven days had taken a toll, though he would never admit it aloud.“I hear you,” David said after a pause. “I do.”Dr. Allen studied him for a long moment. There was something else behind that tired gaze—impatience, yes, but also pain. Emotional, not physical. But he had done his duty.“Good,” Dr. Allen finally said. “Get some rest. I’ll che

    (Flashback continues…)Early the next morning, Dr. Allen came to the ward to check up on David.“All signs show he’s on the road to recovery,” he said, glancing at the readings. “He should regain consciousness soon… probably in a few hours’ time.”Allison, seated by David’s bedside, clasped her hands together tightly. Her eyes glistened with relief. “Thank goodness… Thank you, Doctor Allen,” she said in a sincere tone.“You're welcome, Mrs. Lawson. Dr. Morgan should be given all the accolades for Mr. David's fast recovery. She'll soon be here to check up on him.”Allison's smile faltered when she heard Emma's name, but said nothing.Dr. Allen excused himself after making sure everything was in order, and the ward returned to a quiet stillness.About an hour later, the door creaked open gently. Emma stepped inside, a clipboard in one hand.She noticed that Allison was not in the room, and her eyes automatically sought David’s face. Seeing his resting form—the soft rise and fall of his

    David’s low groans of pain pierced the hospital room like sharp needles, each sound tugging at Allison’s nerves. She stood at the edge of the bed, her hands trembling as she watched him writhe in discomfort. His body tensed, his fingers curling tightly around the hospital blanket. Sweat dotted his forehead, his breathing ragged.Doctor Allen had warned her earlier that such episodes were expected. Post-operative pain, especially after major abdominal surgery, often came in waves. David had undergone multiple incisions, internal stitching, and extensive suturing. Nerve endings disrupted by the trauma often sent confused pain signals as the body tried to heal. This was a normal part of the recovery phase—unpleasant, but manageable.Still, seeing him like this unsettled her."Nurse!" Allison shouted, pressing the emergency bell frantically as David let out another cry, clutching his side.Within seconds, Nurse Gina appeared at the door. She was calm and experienced, a woman in her late t

    "Mom, I'm so tired!" Allison groaned, pacing back and forth around the hospital garden in angry strides as she spoke into her phone. "Can you imagine? I’ve been tending to him for days now, and it’s like nothing I do even matters. He just stares past me. He complains that I disturb him. He won’t talk to me. And when he does, it’s like I’m some stranger! Cold. Indifferent. Why can’t he just show me a bit of gratitude?"Isabel’s voice came through the line, gentle yet firm. "Allison, take it easy on him. The accident might have hit him harder than you think. You can’t expect him to just bounce back like nothing happened."Allison let out a loud, bitter hiss. She turned away from the flowerbed, wrapping one arm around herself as she paced. "Hit him hard? Oh please. How then does he still remember Emma's name? Explain how he can still manage to call out her name in his sleep every damn night. Every. Single. Night, Mom!"There was a short pause on the other end of the call."Emma?" Isabe

    The hospital room, over time, became too boring for David's liking.Visitors had come and gone since his accident. Too many of them. With each face that walked through the door, he felt more irritated and exhausted.The visits were starting to feel like noise. Everyone had something to say, and yet none of it mattered to him.Everyone except Henry.His seven-year-old son and Grandfather were the only people David didn’t mind seeing. Henry had come by after getting better from his own little accident. When he walked into the room, David’s chest had softened for the first time in days.“Daddy,” Henry had said quietly, his big eyes looking unsure.David had managed a weak smile. “Hey, champ.”Henry tiptoed closer and gently placed a small toy car on the edge of the bed. “I brought this for you. It's my favorite, but... you can borrow it till you get better.”David reached for the toy, his fingers brushing the smooth plastic. “Thanks, buddy. That means a lot.”Henry didn’t ask a lot of qu

    David felt like he was floating. Somewhere far away, he heard voices. They sounded blurry, like someone speaking underwater. But one voice stood out—it was soft and feminine. And the scent… it was familiar, comforting. His heart stirred.Emma.That was the first person that came to his mind. It had to be her. She was here, by his side. He could almost feel her presence. Excited by the thought, David tried to open his eyes. But the moment he did, a sharp light hit his vision, making him squint and shut them quickly. It was too bright.He waited a few seconds, then tried again. Slowly, the light became bearable. His vision cleared a little, and the voice he had heard earlier came again—this time louder and full of emotion.“He’s awake! Doctor, he’s awake!”David blinked a few more times, now able to focus on the face leaning over him.It wasn’t Emma.It was Allison.He didn’t know what to feel about that moment. A small wave of disappointment washed over him, but he pushed it down. Righ
