The Cost of Ambition

Emilia’s POV

“Gosh… it hurts!”

The words slipped out of my mouth as I leaned heavily against the bathroom sink.

My hands trembled slightly while I stared at the reflection in the mirror.

The woman looking back at me barely resembled the person I remembered.

My face was pale.

There were dark circles under my eyes, and my lips looked dry and cracked. There was even a faint line of blood at the corner of my mouth.

I wiped it away slowly with the back of my hand.

“…Damn it.”

    Julian’s POVI had never driven so fast and carelessly in my life before. The moment I saw the news alert on my phone, my heart dropped into my stomach.Every television channel was showing the same clip. Emilia standing behind the podium. Her hands were shaking and her voice broke as she spoke.Seconds later, I watched as she ran away from the room with tears streaming down her face.The clip replayed many times and it felt like a knife was being twisted in my chest.She should never have been put though something like that. She had survived being kidnapped and the weeks of fear and nightmares no one should never even experience.And now the the world wanted her to relieve that moment again just for their satisfaction.It made me sick.Immediately I got to the venue, the security recognized me and let me in instantly.I walked into the building and immediately I sighted her. She was sitting on the floor, her knees pulled tightly against her chest. Her face buried in her hands and her

    Emilia’s POV“I don’t think I’m ready for this yet”, I whispered softly as I stared at my reflection in the dressing room mirror.My pr manager stood behind me holding a folder I was supposed to read. Two members of my security team waited outside.Everyone looked extremely nervous and I couldn’t even blame them. This wasn’t just a press conference. I was expected to relieve the worst days of my life in front of a lot of people.“I know today is very difficult for you but the public has been waiting for your statement”, my pr manager said softly.“But I already gave one to the police”, I said, lowering my head.But I knew this one was different, This wasn’t about the investigation anymore but about satisfying public curiosity.A lot of people wanted details and wanted to hear the story from me and unfortunately it had to come from me.“We’ll just keep it short”, my pr manger said as she handed me the statement.I looked down at the page. It was just a few paragraphs with dates. It als

    JULIAN'S POV“It's obvious that this man isn't going to tell us anything; let's just let him be and go home for now. By the time he suffers in pay, he will be left with no reason but to call us back,” I said. “I don't think you know that there is a poison in that knife she used in stabbing you. The poison will work slowly, but if you speak now, there would still be time for you to live,” Gifford said. Theodore laughed. “I know you're saying this just to scare me.”“You won't believe it until it's too late,” Gifford responded. “Let's just leave; I don't think I have any space to banter words with him again,” Emilia added. “By the time we realize what is going on, your life would have been miserable, and you would be already wishing for death. There is still lots of time for you to come back, but you are still playing doubles. I just pity how your future would be,” I said and immediately left with Emilia and Gifford. “I will catch up with you guys,” I muttered. I went to the guard

    EMILIA'S POV“It's about time you stop all this drama, okay? The more you struggle, the worse your wound becomes. I understand you really need to avoid this, but you are stuck with nowhere, and you aren't going to go off it despite how hard you try. There is no way out. The earlier you know it, the better for you,” Gifford said, referring to Theodore. “You are making things hard for me. How do you expect me to talk in this pain? I'm going through hell now,” Theodore shouted. “Now you are the one pleading for mercy, right? But I was the one begging you several times, but you couldn't even give me a listening ear. Numerous times I pleaded with you, but you ignored me and still continued maltreating me despite all the relationship we shared together,” I told, feeling emotional. “I understand why you were doing all of this to yourself, and I know that you really need your help. Why don't you ask for it, and it should be rendered freely to you?” Gifford said? “Yes, I need help, and the

    EMILIA'S POVI watched Julian as he stood up for me, but this wasn't what I wanted. I want to speak for myself and do it my way. That was the perfect way for me to win and gather all the information I needed from him at once. “All of this act you are playing isn't going to help you. Just be reasonable, at least for once in your life; it would be more beneficial to you,” I said politely. “You haven't even told me the content of this call yet to want me to act just the way you want. I know I am a prisoner, but I still have some respect, which should be left for me. Oh, Don, you have to control me the way you want. I am not some kind of slave to you. I still deserve a lot of respect,” Theodore yelled. “You're not but an empty thing. You really didn't know you would end up like this, right?” I smiled. “Not at all. This was going to be inheriting all of your wealth,” Theodore laughed. “What I really want to understand first is how do you feel doing these things to me? I don't know whe

    EMILIA'S POVAfter a few minutes of driving, we arrived at the station. I was the first person to get out of the car because I was in so much haste to meet with Theodore. “You have to calm down and take things easy, okay? Please hear me out if you rush him. I don't think you would get it in his favor, so you really have to be calm,” Julian said. “And that's what I have been constantly telling her, but she won't listen to anything I say,” Gifford added. “Okay, okay, I'm calm now. I'm just curious to know the content of the file he came to the office to take, and that's all. Don't make it as if I am not entitled to do so, please,” I yelled. “No one is denying you the right, but the fact that you are in a rush with meeting with Theodore is really giving us concern, and I don't want that to happen, okay?” Julian muttered. “He is right; you haven't seen Theodore since after your release, and seeing him now might bring back numerous memories you have in that cell, and I know for sure t

    JULIAN'S POVI was really surprised with Emilia’s scream; she really drew a lot of attention in the passage. I had to calm her down and went to respect the call the doctor gave me. “I'm here now,” I muttered to the doctor. “Okay, thank you for coming. Honestly, I sincerely appreciate it because y

    Borrowed TimeEmilia I had no idea why I had stayed at the party until it ended. Maybe I was hoping that Julian would walk up to me and explain everything. Maybe I was hoping that he would look at me and see that I was hurting. I stood there for a long time, watching him move around the hall with

    The AnnouncementEmilia My hand covered my mouth, as I held the wall tightly while my legs almost gave way. I could not believe what I had just seen.
