NAKED LIES OF THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 130
“All your tasks always come out pointless. You’re not even trying to tell me what I’m looking for here,” I said, my hands tapping the steering wheel harder than I realized. It’s was the blackmailer, she had called again. The car was parked, engine still running. The low hum filled the silence between us. My fingers kept hitting the wheel in short, sharp rhythms . On the other end of the phone, the voice didn’t rush to answer. “In due time you’ll know, Emma,” she said calmly. The sound of my name coming from her mouth made my jaw tighten. “Oh… and congratulations on your divorce. Heard it was settled.” My tapping stopped. For a second I just stared straight through the windshield, like the words had physically landed somewhere in front of me. My stomach dropped slowly, the way it does when an elevator starts moving down too fast.“How do you know that?” I asked. My voice came out lower than I expected. She didn’t answer the question. She just let out a small breath, almost like she wa

As soon as I said that, Daniel turned his back on me.No final glance, no lingering pause, no attempt to soften the moment with one last word. Just the sharp pivot of his shoulders, the stiff set of his neck, the way his suit jacket pulled tight across his back as he started walking. His lawyer fell into step beside him without missing a beat, phone already in hand, briefcase swinging lightly, murmuring something low and urgent into his ear. He didn’t respond to her. He just kept moving, stride long and deliberate, like he was trying to outrun the conversation we’d just had.I watched him step out through the heavy glass doors,light catching the polished leather of his shoes as he crossed the threshold. The doors swung shut behind him with a soft pneumatic sigh, muffling the sound of his footsteps on the concrete outside. I trailed behind, much slower. My heels clicked against the floor , a measured rhythm, each step quieter than the last, as if my body had decided it no longer needed

“You’re unbelievable,” he said, shaking his head. “You think you can just… pull the plug on the ending we both agreed to, and then walk away like it’s nothing?” . I roll my eyes, “If you want to hear anything else, just speak to my lawyer, Daniel,” I said, keeping my voice low but firm, each word measured to avoid giving him more fuel. “People are already staring at me.”I tried again to step past him, small sidestep, shoulder angled toward the exit doors, but he shifted with me, blocking the way once more, just refusing to yield the space. His presence felt larger than his actual frame, the way it always had when he was determined to have the final say.“Ohh, so now you’re concerned about making a scene?” he shot back, voice rising just enough to carry. The sarcasm was sharp, but underneath it was something raw, hurt masquerading as mockery. He glanced around quickly, noticing the few heads that had turned: a woman with a toddler on her hip, an older man in a suit pretending to read

I didn’t flinch. Didn’t snap back. Just kept my gaze down, breathing slow and even, letting the words hang there between us like smoke. “Can you let me through, Daniel,” I said, voice low but firm, trying to step past him toward the exit doors.He didn’t move. Instead he shifted sideways, planting himself directly in my path again, broad shoulders blocking the way, arms loose at his sides but tense enough that I could see the muscles flexing under his suit jacket.“Where are you going?” he asked, stepping closer so I had to tilt my head up to meet his gaze. “I’m talking to you.” I took a deep breath, slow, through my nose, letting it fill my lungs before I released it. Then I stepped back, creating a small space between us, enough to feel like I could breathe again. “Can you let me be, Daniel…” I said quietly. The words weren’t loud. They weren’t angry. They were tired-bone-deep tired of carrying all this weight of confusion, his need to have the last word even now. I had nothing le

Mr Okon stood again. “Yes, Your Honor. The respondent is withdrawing her consent to the uncontested divorce and requests the court not enter the decree at this time.”Daniel’s lawyer was already on her feet. “Your Honor, the petitioner objects. The respondent previously signed the settlement agreement and filed her response. Consent was given. This appears to be an eleventh-hour attempt to delay proceedings.”The judge held up one hand, “I’ll hear from the respondent directly,” she said. Her eyes returned to me. “Mrs. Morgan, you understand that withdrawing consent at this stage may require the matter to proceed as contested if the petitioner does not agree? It could mean additional hearings, discovery, potential counseling. Are you prepared for that?”I met her gaze. “Yes, Your Honor. I am.”The judge studied me for a long moment, long enough that the room seemed to hold its breath.Then she nodded once. “Very well. The court will take the motion under advisement. Petitioner’s couns

They hadn’t called us yet.The courtroom clock ticked past 9:40, each second stretching longer than the last. The clerk had worked through three other cases already, quick dissolutions, uncontested agreements, couples who looked relieved or numb or both as they walked out. None of them had taken more than ten minutes. Ours was still pending, listed somewhere near the bottom of the docket, and every time the clerk’s voice rose with a new number, my pulse jumped, then settled again when it wasn’t ours.Mr Okon , had texted me eight minutes ago:‘ Stuck in traffic on the bridge. ETA 10-12 minutes. Hold steady. Do NOT speak to opposing counsel or the petitioner without me present. ‘I stared at the message again, thumb hovering over the screen, then locked the phone and slipped it back into my bag. I had contemplated going to talk to Daniel. The thought kept circling. Some hours passed and, then finally doors opened behind me and I caught the familiar footsteps of Mr Okons shoes. I le
