My Billionaire Husband Refuses to Let Me Go Forty-Six
The next day, Emma woke up with a massive headache.She groaned softly and rolled onto her back, staring blankly at the ceiling of her bedroom.For several seconds, she had absolutely no idea why she felt so awful.Then she remembered.Every single detail of the previous evening came crashing back into her mind with terrifying clarity.The heat of Noah's office. The scent of his cologne that still seemed clinging to her skin. The way his hand had gripped her waist, firm, unyielding, almost desperate, and the taste of copper on her tongue when her teeth had cut into his lower lip.Her breath caught, a wave of heat burning across her cheeks as she brought a hand up to touch her own mouth. Her lower lip felt tender, slightly swollen where his mouth had pressed into hersWhat on earth did I do?She pulled her knees up, clutching the duvet to her chest as mortification set in.It wasn't just shame twisting in her gut; it was absolute, burning rage.Just a week ago, she had sat across from

Noah stood entirely motionless in the suffocating silence long after the door of his new office was slammed shut. His chest heaved in heavy, shallow hitches, his lower lip stinging where her teeth had sliced through the skin.He slowly brought his right hand up, dragging his thumb across his lip. When he pulled his hand away, a thin streak of dark crimson smeared across his skin.A breathless laugh suddenly escaped him. It was raw, incredulous, and laced with a sudden, dangerous heat.Emma just kissed him. His estranged wife just kissed him.Their only physical contact was a hollow, performative brush of lips in front of two hundred wedding guests. And now, she had just pinned him against his own desk, torn his self-control to shreds, and kissed him with an intensity that was still making his blood roar in his ears.He pressed his thumb against his mouth again, feeling the sharp throb of the cut.The metallic sting on his tongue was completely drowned out by the agonizing throb betw

The air in the office instantly turned thick and suffocatingly hot.For years, Emma had prayed to hear him drop his rigid, impenetrable guard like this. She had spent countless nights lying awake in her room back at the mansion, wishing he would look at her with even a fraction of that raw, desperate intensity.Now, hearing those words ripped from his chest now, hit her like a physical blow.Her defenses...the wall she had painstakingly built all week to protect her fragile heart, shattered in an instant.A sudden feeling of panic crashed over her. Because deep beneath the anger, beneath the lingering humiliation and the quiet grief of walking away, she still loved him. You didn't just stop loving someone after three years of giving them your entire heart. The terrifying truth was that he still held a power over her that made her blood hum and her pulse race out of control.Emma swallowed hard, her hand tightening painfully around the strap of her bag as she took a quick, instinctive

By the time Emma finally looked away from her computer screen, the digital clock in the corner of her monitor read eleven-thirty.She blinked slowly, her eyes burning from hours of staring at spreadsheets, reports, and financial projections.For a moment, she simply sat there.The executive suite had been quiet for hours now, Not the Aurora itself because the resort never truly slept.Even this late, there were still guests moving through the lobby, late dinners being served in one of the restaurants, security personnel making their rounds, and the occasional muted chime of an elevator carrying someone back to their suite.But back here, the constant rhythm of corporate life had finally faded. Most of the offices were dark. The conference rooms were empty. The boardroom where they'd spent most of the morning arguing was silent now, the long table abandoned beneath the soft lighting.Emma leaned back in her chair and rubbed her temple.She had been telling herself for the past three ho

Julian Vance waited until the conference room doors closed behind him before he smiled.Not the polite, professional smile he'd worn throughout the meeting.A real one. Slow and satisfied.He slipped one hand into his trouser pocket as he walked beside Emma, watching her disappear around the corner with Clara and two other executives.Behind him, the conference room remained painfully silent.He could almost picture Noah Walker sitting there. Rigid and furious.Trying desperately to convince himself that he had interrupted the meeting because of corporate policy.Julian chuckled softly under his breath, adjusting the silk cuff of his jacket. It was almost sad. A man standing on the shore, watching the ship sail away, and trying to pretend he had simply decided to stay on the docks.When Eleanor Walker had first named Emma as the principal owner, Julian's instincts had hummed to life. While Arthur Vance and the rest of the board threw their predictable tantrums over an "unqualified out
My Billionaire Husband Refuses to Let Me Go Chapter Forty-One
A week had passed since Veronica Hayes disappeared from the public eye.In that short space of time, the world had reshuffled itself. The headlines had moved on, the luxury conglomerates had quietly reassigned their marketing campaigns, and the public had found new scandals to consume. But at the Aurora Resort, the aftermath was far from over.For seven days, Noah Walker had lived in a constant state of emotional whiplash.After finding out that Emma had moved her family away from the house he got them, and moved somewhere far away from him, he had spent the first two days trying to convince himself that it didn't matter.That it was just pride. That his ego was bruised because the quiet, accommodating woman who had spent three years blending into the background of his life had suddenly erased him without a single backward glance.He told himself that Emma was simply angry.She had every right to be.She had been humiliated, dragged through a scandal she had never asked for, and force
