NEGLECTED WIFE BECAME THE MOST WANTED Chapter 26
Confession Beneath the Cold SkyEmilia’s POVCentennial Park was quieter than usual.The cold air lingered heavily, brushing against my skin in soft, biting waves. The trees stood tall and bare, with their branches swaying gently as the wind passed through them. A thin layer of frost clung to the grass, shimmering faintly under the pale afternoon light. It was the kind of weather that should have made anyone uncomfortable, eager to leave and find warmth.But I stayed.Seated on the park bench, I folded my arms slightly, with my breath visible in the air as I exhaled. People passed by occasionally, bundled up in thick coats, their footsteps crunching softly against the ground. The world felt distant, and muted.And yet, my heart felt anything but calm.The past few days had been… different.I lowered my gaze, my fingers lightly brushing against the edge of my skirt as my thoughts wandered.Different… in a way I never expected.It hadn’t been anything dramatic. No grand gestures. No ove

Whispers and Rumours Emilia’s POVI arrived at the office earlier than usual that morning.The building was quieter, the usual buzz not yet in full swing, but even then, I could already feel it—the shift in atmosphere. The moment I stepped in, heads turned. Conversations that had been flowing moments ago seemed to stutter, lower, then resume in hushed tones.I walked past them like I didn’t notice, with my heels clicking steadily against the floor.Ignore them.I didn’t need anyone to tell me what was going on. The memory of yesterday flashed briefly in my mind—Theodore calling me out in front of everyone. Not everyone had left the auditorium at that time. Some had stayed back… and of course, they had seen.“Did you see her—”“She was the one the boss called—”“I heard she got suspended—”“Or promoted…”The whispers brushed past me like wind. I kept my expression blank, my posture straight.Let them talk.Still, I couldn’t deny the slight tightening in my chest.Pushing open my offi

A Moment of CalmEmilia's POV"Goodnight, Emilia," Theodore said with a warm smile, his voice gentle but carrying an undeniable sense of sincerity. He paused by his car, looking at me for a moment longer than necessary."Goodnight, Theodore," I replied, giving him a small but polite wave as he slid into his car. He started the engine, and I watched as the tail lights of his vehicle slowly disappeared into the distance.Once he was gone, I allowed myself to breathe a sigh of relief I didn’t even realize I was holding. The tension that had unknowingly been building up in me seemed to dissolve as his car became a mere speck of light in the distance. I’d been so focused on the moment, on what could happen next, that I hadn’t even realized how much I’d been holding my breath.I waved a taxi over and gave the driver my address, settling back into the plush leather seat. My thoughts were scattered, and I couldn’t quite pinpoint what I was feeling. For the first time in a long while, my mind

Lost and FoundJulian’s POVI sat down in the car, the cool leather of the seat offering no comfort as exhaustion hit me like a tidal wave. I didn’t want to be here. I didn’t want to deal with this. But here I was, stuck in this hellish cycle of meetings, phone calls, and endless pressure. Today had been a turning point, though — and not the good kind. I had lost a client, and I had no one to blame but myself.Gripping the steering wheel, I let out a long, frustrated sigh, staring at my reflection in the rear view mirror. My eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep, and my face was drawn, more haggard than I had ever seen myself. It felt like I was suffocating, like the walls were closing in on me.How the hell did I let this happen?The problem was simple. I’d trusted Cassandra’s advice. She told me to make changes to the client’s portfolio, said it would bring in huge returns. And like a fool, I listened. Now, I was stuck cleaning up the mess, and the client was pulling out. I couldn’

The ApologyEmilia's POVTheodore. The same man I had humiliated in front of a room full of people. My chest tightened, and my mind went blank.Why was he calling me over? What could he possibly want after what I did to him?The auditorium, once bustling with energy, now felt suffocating. The emptiness of the space mirrored the emptiness I felt inside. Raymond had already made his exit, leaving me to face the inevitable.I turned to glance at him, hoping for some form of reassurance, but his smug smile only intensified my anxiety. He was leaving me alone with the storm I had created.I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. My heart pounded in my chest as I walked toward the table where Theodore sat, my mind racing through a million scenarios.What if he fires me? What if he wants to bring up last night? What if he... hates me?I could feel my palms sweating, and my mind struggled to find any semblance of calm. He can't fire me. I own a significant portion of the company. I'm i

The Unforeseen BossEmilia's POVBy the time the afternoon rolled around, I was already heading towards the company’s auditorium, my stomach twisted into knots. The air felt heavy, every step I took echoing slightly in the empty hallways. This was the first time they were using the auditorium after acquiring the building, and I was strangely aware of it. A new chapter for the company. A new chapter for me.As I neared the entrance, whispers fluttered around me—most of them pointed in my direction. I heard the quiet mutterings and the glances tossed my way, and I knew exactly what it was about. Last night. I could feel the weight of the moment pressing down on me.Focus. It's over. The slap, the drink—it’s done now. Get a grip.I couldn’t deny that the way people were looking at me made me uncomfortable, but I did my best to push it aside. No one has the right to judge me anymore. It was his fault for acting that way. I stood up for myself.I stepped into the room, and immediately,
