EMILIA’S POV

By the time I left the company, the sun had long gone and the night was already in its early stages. I shouldn't have stayed in that long, but I had to make final corrections to our files after the meeting so I could forward them to each executive. That simple act took longer than I anticipated. And then I had to deal with a difficult client after that. Overall, it was a very busy day.

I felt a gush of air behind me as I walked through the parking lot toward my car. Instinctively,

    JULIAN’S POVI shouldn’t have addressed Theodore like that. Not when I was trying so hard to retain a respectable image in Emilia’s mind, but he really got on my nerves. The way he acts like he is in the right and is in total control of every situation around her, when he damn well doesn’t know a thing.He doesn’t react to my statement the way I expected him to. He doesn’t retaliate, nor does he press any further. He simply veers his attention back to Emilia’s and speaks.“I will see you at home.”“Yeah.” She tries to smile away the awkwardness. I feel immensely bad for making her deal with the aftermath of my own outburst. “So sorry for that, we will see later.”He nods curtly, reserved as ever, and then retreats toward the car he came in. I help her into my car, getting her shoes off her legs to give her more comfort. Then I circle to the driver’s seat and zoom out of the hospital.“You shouldn’t have spoken to him like that,” Em comments a few minutes into our drive.I move my eyes

    JULIAN’S POVI barely acknowledged the greeting of the workers scattered around the workshop as I moved deeper inside. My eyes were locked on Emilia’s car as I moved. I couldn’t wrap my head around what I was seeing. The front was wrecked, in a way that no one would think anyone had come out of it alive.As I moved closer, I noticed even more damage. The windshields were shattered, every part of the car was damaged in some way. I couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that Emilia had been in here a few hours ago, vulnerable and scared. A lump of sadness tucked itself in my chest just from the mere thought of it.“Are you the owner?” someone asked from behind me, wiping his hand on a rag as he approached.I merely gave him a single look before turning my head back toward the car. “You think anyone who drove this would be standing in front of you right now?”He stared at the car, then slowly back at me. “Yes.” He shrugged. “We have in fact seen miracles happen a lot around accidents.”I

And then I had to deal with a difficult client after that. Overall, it was a very busy day. I felt a gush of air behind me as I walked through the parking lot toward my car. Instinctively, I veered around, but the parking lot was empty, except for the few cars scattered around. The air doesn't feel natural, if anything, it actually feels like someone has passed behind me. I looked back once, and tried to dismiss the idea from my head. I gripped my key tightly as I jabbed at the unlock button before reaching the car. I hurried the rest of the way to the car, and scampered inside, locking it almost immediately. I reached for the bottom of my shirt and loosened the first two just

  • NEGLECTED WIFE BECAME THE MOST WANTED    Chapter 83

    EMILIA’S POVI kept my expression neutral despite the emotions swirling in my chest. It’s a skill I learned the hard way. It's better to sit still and give nothing away in places where everyone is against you, in rooms where almost every damn eye is judging you. Why haven't I even thought of this? I should have expected it. Of course, someone will bring it up, they have social media, they know exactly what’s going on. Media houses wouldn’t start up rumors without making sure they spread fast enough to reach rooms like this. Places that actually matter to me. I forced myself not to curl my fingers into a fist, they were resting flatly on the table. I continued to chant my mantra in my head. “Don’t react, don’t give them anything to use against you.” The silence was so thick and uncomfortable. Though no one spoke, I could feel the judgments in their gazes, some were curious, some had doubts, all directed at me. Then, out of nowhere, before I could come up with a professional respons

  • NEGLECTED WIFE BECAME THE MOST WANTED    Chapter 82

    JULIAN’S POVI had sat through more high-level meetings than I care to admit, but anytime Emilia was in the same space, it felt different, I have this confidence that everything is going to be handled accordingly. She always makes sure of that. We chose to have our second meeting in the boardroom today instead of my office. Emilia had decided we were better off in a more professional setting hence why it was scheduled there. The project had officially begun a week back and we were already faced with situations that made it a must to meet. Representatives from all five companies sat across the table, everyone with their agendas neatly hidden behind polite expressions. There are five major senior stakeholders from each company. My company handles the finance and investment part of the project, we have the construction firm, we have PR, tech, and Innovations. We are all working to acquire a government contract to build a smart district. It’s a project that will boost everything, for e

    EMILIA’S POV “What exactly are you talking about?” He walked calmly until he was standing right in front of the worker. She has her hands folded behind her now, her head casted down, you would swear she wasn't the one acting all superior seconds ago. Bullies can be ridiculous sometimes. “Nothing sir.”“What I heard doesn't sound like nothing to me. So I am going to ask one more time. What were you speaking about?” By now the hallway was starting to fill up. No one was confident enough to stand in the open and watch but I could feel the weight of eyes, silent murmurs going all around. This was far from how I wanted my afternoon to go.“I was addressing something I saw online, sir.” “And you thought the proper way to handle that was to walk into a senior executive officer and insult her?” So he heard everything.Of course, she doesn't respond to that. She kept her head facing down and barely made any attempt to move. From where I stood, I could swear she was not breathing. Yes, sh

    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 ha

    Three Weeks LaterEmilia It had been over three weeks since I moved into the motel, and in a strange way, it felt like a small awakening. Not the kind that comes with happiness, but the kind that forces you to open your eyes whether you want to or not. I had learned how quiet nights could be. I ha
