Helen pressed the phone to her ear, leaning against the shelves as her jaw set into a terrifying sneer.

The call connected on the second ring.

"Veronica," Helen whispered, her voice low and menacing,"Listen to me very carefully. Emma and Eleanor are setting a trap for you. If you don't call a press conference right now and tell them Emma didn't push you, you're going to prison."

There was a sharp, frantic gasp on the other end of the line. "What?! Helen, have you lost your mind? Everyone thinks

    Noah barely noticed the people who stepped out of his path as he stormed through the executive corridor.The leather folder was clenched tightly in his hand, his knuckles pale from the force of his grip. He was angry yes, far more angry than the situation warranted, he knew that much. But beneath the anger was something else, something he refused to examine too closely.He reached the doors to her suite and pushed them open without knocking. His jaw was set, his shoulders squared, prepared for anything.He had expected her to be pacing. He had expected to find Emma standing by the windows, fraught with anxiety, overwhelmed by the looming presence of the press outside, or perhaps quietly unraveling under the immense weight of what she had done on that staircase. He expected a woman who, deep down, was desperate for him to take the reins and fix the disaster.Instead, the room was remarkably still.Emma was seated behind the massive dark mahogany desk, the very desk that had belonged to

    Helen pressed the phone to her ear, leaning against the shelves as her jaw set into a terrifying sneer.The call connected on the second ring."Veronica," Helen whispered, her voice low and menacing,"Listen to me very carefully. Emma and Eleanor are setting a trap for you. If you don't call a press conference right now and tell them Emma didn't push you, you're going to prison."There was a sharp, frantic gasp on the other end of the line. "What?! Helen, have you lost your mind? Everyone thinks she pushed me! That was the whole point! If I say she didn't—""Shut up and listen to me!" Helen snapped, her voice dropping into a sharp whisper that cut straight through Veronica's rising panic. "Eleanor has the security footage, Veronica. The raw, unedited footage. And who knows when she is going to release it to the entire board and every major news outlet in the country. They will see you throw yourself down those stairs. They will see that Emma didn't lay a single finger on you."Silence

  • My Billionaire Husband Refuses to Let Me Go   Chapter Twenty-Eight

    Helen stood watching the closed door, long after Noah had gone, and in a sudden fit of violent rage, she reached out and violently backhanded a crystal paperweight off Jillian’s former desk. It shattered against the marble floor with a deafening crash, sharp glass shards exploding across the rug.Her chest heaved as she leaned against the polished wood, her hands shaking, her breath coming in ragged, ugly gasps. The calm, composed secretary was completely gone, replaced by a desperate, cornered animal.She hated Noah Walker. She hated his arrogance, his unyielding tone, and the way he treated her like a glorified errand girl. It was satisfying to know he was walking straight into a brutal confrontation with Emma, something that would hopefully tear them both down, but still it did nothing to fix the immediate problem surrounding her now.Her phone vibrated in her blazer pocket, sending a sharp jolt of panic straight through her veins.She yanked the device out, expecting another threa

    Noah stood near the floor-to-ceiling windows of Jillian’s old office his hands resting loosely in the pockets of his trousers as he looked down at the resort grounds below. The office didn’t have the view of the sea but it was positioned high enough that the sprawling resort grounds stretched beneath it.It had belonged to Jillian for years, and there was traces of her everywhere. Her awards and certificates. Pictures of her deceased husband and Maya, there was even one of him when he had been much younger, perhaps ten or eleven, standing beside Jillian with an awkward smile on his face while she rested a hand proudly on his shoulder.Just as he was reminiscing about the day that the picture was taken, the heavy double doors were pushed open, and then the rhythmic sound of heels echoed against the marble floor.“Mr Walker,” Helen called out hesitantly, and he frowned immediately at the tone. He turned to her, his eyes narrowing as he took in her stiff posture and the tense expression

  • My Billionaire Husband Refuses to Let Me Go   Chapter Twenty-Six

    Noah knew the atmosphere in the aurora would be tense, but he hadn't expected it to feel this... subdued.The usual quiet elegance of the resort remained intact, yet beneath it lay something unmistakably strained.Receptionists who normally greeted guests with effortless smiles now looked distracted, their eyes flickering nervously toward the entrance every few seconds. Even the bellmen moved with unusual caution, as though speaking above a whisper might somehow make things worse.Rumors had a way of infecting an entire workplace.Especially one that had become the center of the country's biggest scandal overnight."Mr. Walker." A woman's voice pulled his attention back.He looked up to see Helen, the Aurora's company secretary, accompanied by the Resort's Head of Legal Affairs and the Director of Human Resources.Helen offered a polite nod, feeling anything but polite inwardly. "Welcome back to the Aurora, Mr. Walker.""The virtual meeting concluded 14 minutes ago," she informed him,

  • My Billionaire Husband Refuses to Let Me Go   Chapter Twenty-Five

    The drive to the hospital took Noah twenty minutes from the mansion. And he had opted to drive himself, instead of taking his usual driver.He preferred it that way whenever his thoughts became too loud. Driving occupied just enough of his mind to stop it from wandering somewhere he didn't want it to go.Not that it was working particularly well today.His phone buzzed again against the center console. He didn't look at it even as another vibration followed less than thirty seconds later. Then another. He already knew who it was without checking.His assistant. Reporters. Board members. Hell, even old university acquaintances. Even two celebrities he had met only once at some conference had somehow found his number and reached out, no doubt hoping to become part of the country's favorite scandal.The tabloids had transformed his private life into serialized entertainment, and everyone wanted the next episode.He despised every second of it.Noah's grip tightened on the leather of the
