Alex didn't move his gaze. His eyes locked on mine, searching like he could find his answers even if I didn't tell him anything.

“Emma,” he said, his voice low and close. “You haven’t answered my question.”

I stepped back automatically, glaring at him. “You don’t get to ask me that. My personal life is none of your business.”

The smile on his lips didn’t budge. “Why is it so hard for you to give me an answer?”

“I’m not finding anything hard,” I said, trying to keep my voice even. “I just don’t owe you my emotions, Alex. You need to watch yourself. I might have let you be with my children today, but that doesn’t mean you get to pry into my private life.”

His smile faded just enough for the hurt to peek through. “They’re my children too, Emma.”

“Exactly,” I said. “You’re their father. And that’s the only thing you need to be focused on, not my private life.”

His jaw clenched. He took another step toward me, his gaze softer now, like he wanted to say something else.

  • Oops! I Left With The CEO's Heart   Chapter 102

    ALEXEmma's words made me freeze with shock. Among all the things I expected her to say, that wasn't part of it."You saw us?" I muttered."What? You're shocked that you got caught? Do you think I'm a fucking idiot you can play with as you like?" Emma lashed back, her voice controlled but sharp enough to cut. "How do you even have the guts to say all these things to me when you were just with another woman today?"I should have been worried about how this looked. But God, I was completely captivated by the fire blazing in her eyes, the fury making her voice shake.She was jealous, and the knowledge of that was exhilarating."Emma, things didn't happen the way you thought—" I finally began to say."I don't want to listen to your lies," she cut me off. "The last time Hillary showed up and hugged you, you told me her presence didn't affect you and she was part of your past.""Because that's the truth.""Cut it out." Her voice had begun to rise slightly. "Why can't you just have the guts

    Panic shot through me. My heart slammed against my ribs as I struggled against the arm around me, muffled sounds escaping behind the hand covering my mouth.Then a familiar cologne hit my senses. I recognized who it was even before he spoke."Emma, it's me," he whispered against my ear, his voice low. "Don't scream."He slowly released his hold on me, and I spun around, my hand flying out to smack him hard across the chest."You scared me!" I hissed, my voice hard with irritation."I'm sorry," he said, not looking particularly sorry at all. "But I had to.""What the hell are you doing here?" I demanded, clutching my towel tighter around me. "How did you even get into my room?"I noticed my balcony door open, the curtains moving slightly with the night breeze. My eyes widened as the realization hit me."You climbed up there?" I stared at him in disbelief.A ghost of a smile played at the corners of his mouth. "Do you remember when you were sixteen and asked me to help you sneak back in

    The rest of dinner passed without any more verbal sparring between Alex and Stefano, but that didn't make me any less tense.I found myself picking at my food rather than actually eating it. I was grateful when the meal finally ended.As the maids began clearing the table, we all started moving back toward the living room. To my frustration, Alex seemed to be following along with the group until my mother suddenly stopped and turned to him with a gentle smile."Alex, didn't you come here to see the kids?" she asked. "Gendry mentioned they might be bringing them back quite late, well after dinner time. Why don't you go see them there, or perhaps come by tomorrow instead?"It was obviously an excuse to politely ask him to leave. My mother had obviously noticed how tense I was throughout dinner and was trying to help me out.Alex looked conflicted initially, his gaze flickering between my mother and me. Then he gave a smile that didn't reach his eyes."You're right. I should go."He turn

    “What about you, Alex? Aren't you going to congratulate us?”Everyone turned to look at Alex, and an uncomfortable silence stretched through the room. I held my breath, my heart hammering against my ribs as I watched him.His jaw was tight, his hands clenched at his sides, and for a moment, I thought he might say something hostile.Then he stepped forward and flashed a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Of course. Congratulations to the lovebirds."He and Stefano stared at each other, and the silence that followed was thick with unspoken tension. I felt like I was watching two predators sizing each other up.Thankfully, the silence didn't last too long. One of the househelps walked into the living room."The table is set," she announced cheerfully, completely oblivious to the atmosphere."Perfect timing!" my father declared, clapping his hands together excitedly. "We should celebrate this wonderful news with some good food."I half expected Alex to excuse himself and leave. That would

    EMMAThe moment I witnessed Alex and Hillary with their lips locked, the shock was gut-wrenching, stealing the breath from my lungs.Tearing my gaze away before my mind could register any more detail, I immediately closed the car door and leaned back in my seat, willing my heart to stop feeling like it was about to tear itself out of my chest."Ma'am, are you going to get out?" the driver asked, glancing at me in the rearview mirror. "I need to continue working.""I'm not getting out here anymore," I managed to say. "Please keep driving.""Where to?""Just drive, please," I repeated, not trusting my voice to say more.I didn't dare to look out the window again, not wanting to risk seeing that sight a second time. The image was already burned into my mind: Hillary's arms around Alex's neck, their bodies pressed together.After a few minutes of aimless driving, the driver spoke up again. "Ma'am, you'll need to giv

    The kiss caught me completely off guard. For a couple of seconds, I was too taken aback to react as her lips pressed against mine.They felt unfamiliar, and they evoked nothing in me.When the initial shock wore off, I broke away abruptly, stepping back to put distance between us."What are you doing?" I demanded, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand."What I've dreamed of doing for so many years," Hillary breathed, her eyes shining with unshed tears. "I missed you so much, Alex. Now I know you missed me too."I stared at her in disbelief. “Hillary, what the hell are you talking about?”She blinked. “You helped me. You helped me be free of Robert and..."I vehemently shook my head even before she was done speaking. "Hillary, helping you doesn't mean I still love you. I only wanted to help because it was the right thing to do. I would have done the same for any other person in your situation."Disappointment flashed through her eyes. “So you don't love me anymore?”The mere thought
