Behind Closed Doors Chapter 105: I went Crazy
Emily’s POVMy heart didn't just break—it stopped. The room started spinning around me, the white walls blurring into a sickening streak of gray and blinding light."Em?" Sophia’s voice sounded like it was coming from under ten feet of water. "Emily, what’s wrong? You’re pale as a ghost."I couldn't answer. My throat was completely locked tight, choked on a massive wave of pure, suffocating terror.Fatal high-speed vehicle collision.Emergency ICU.I dropped my textbook onto the rug and bolted."Emily! Wait! What happened?!" Lila screamed, throwing her headphones onto the desk and jumping up as I yanked the dorm room door open.I didn't grab my coat. I didn't grab my shoes. I was wearing thin cotton pajama shorts and a stretched-out gray t-shirt, my bare feet slamming hard against the freezing linoleum floor of the hallway as I ran like a madwoman toward the fire exit stairs."Emily! Stop!" Sophia shouted, her footsteps echoing down the hall behind me, but I was already flying down th
Behind Closed Doors Chapter 104: Daniel had a fatal accident!!
Emily’s POVWinning the final court case was one thing, but winning me back was a whole different story.If Daniel thought throwing Charlotte off the property and getting full legal custody of Julian meant I would automatically run back into his arms, he had another thing coming. The damage was done. The trust was shattered. And a legal piece of paper didn't just magic away the nightmare of seeing him naked on our master suite bed.So when my phone vibrated around two o'clock on Monday afternoon with a text from Thomas, I answered it cautiously.Thomas: Miss Emily, young master Julian is deeply upset and refusing to do his homework. Mr. Walker is driving him over to the Bellmont campus coffee shop so he can see you for an hour. Mr. Walker promises he will not step inside or bother you.I stood in my dorm room for five long minutes, staring at the screen. I was still furious at Daniel, but I couldn't punish Julian for his father's mess."I'm going down to the coffee shop," I told Sophi
Behind Closed Doors Chapter 103: Daniel finally won the lawsuit against Charlotte
Emily’s POVMy hand shook so violently I nearly dropped the phone onto the rug.Lila stared at the glowing screen in total horror, reaching out to touch my arm. "Em... don't answer it. Block her too. Please."I stared at her name. Victoria. The woman who had given birth to me, who had disowned me the second I fell in love with Daniel, and who hadn't sent a single text in six months.I took a shaky, uneven breath, swiped my thumb across the green icon, and pressed the phone against my ear."What do you want, Victoria?" I asked, my voice coming out thin, cold, and hollow.A sharp, mocking laugh echoed through the speaker—crisp, elegant, and dripping with venomous satisfaction."Oh, sweetie," Victoria purred, the clinking of a wine glass audible in the background. "Is that really how you greet your mother? I'm just calling to check on my little college girl. I saw the news today. It looks like your little fairytale ended exactly where everyone knew it would—in a cramped, embarrassing dor
Behind Closed Doors Chapter 102: We made the Headlines again
Emily’s POV"Send my belongings to the dorm," I said, my voice cold and sharp as glass as I stood outside the diner. "Have dispatch drop them off. I don't want to see your face ever again."Before Daniel could even open his mouth to answer, I turned on my heel, unlocked my sedan, and slammed the door shut.I hit the gas pedal, leaving him standing near the curb with that white toxicology report still crumpled in his hand.Friday Morning, 9:00 AMThe next morning, the sun barely broke through the heavy grey clouds over Bellmont.I was sitting on the edge of my dorm bed, holding a warm mug of black coffee that had already gone cold. My eyes were raw, red, and swollen from crying half the night. Sophia was at her morning seminar, and Lila had stepped out to grab bagels from the campus dining hall.Knock. Knock. Knock.The sudden sound made me flinch. I froze, my knuckles turning white around the ceramic mug."Miss Emily?" a calm, familiar female voice called out from the hallway. "It's M
Behind Closed Doors Chapter 101: Daniel crashed my hang-out with Julian
Emily’s POVMy heart was beating like a drum the whole drive to the diner.After hanging up on Julian's crying voice at the library, I couldn't just sit in my dorm room and pretend I was fine. I loved that little boy. He was completely innocent in this whole disgusting mess, and hearing him sob about how awful things were back at Greenwich tore me up inside.So I had called the estate driver, Thomas—the only guy on Daniel's security team I actually trusted—and set up a private meeting."Bring Julian to the diner on 4th Street," I had instructed Thomas in a hushed voice over the phone. "Do not tell Daniel. If Daniel finds out, I swear I won't come.""Understood, Miss Emily," Thomas had replied quietly. "Mr. Walker is locked in his study anyway. I'll get the young master there safely."The diner was small, cozy, and tucked away behind a row of tall trees near campus. The smell of fried bacon and warm maple syrup hit my nose the second I pushed open the glass door.Julian was already sit
Behind Closed Doors Chapter 100: Blocked, Crying, and totally Done
Emily’s POVI didn't sleep for a single second.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the exact same nightmare replaying on a loop in my head: Daniel standing in our master bedroom without his pants, and Charlotte stretched out on our white duvet like a smug queen bee, flashing that filthy, victorious smirk.By seven in the morning, my eyes were swollen shut from crying, my head was throbbing like crazy, and my throat felt like sandpaper."Here, drink this," Sophia whispered gently, sitting on the edge of the bed and handing me a hot mug of black tea.Lila was sitting at the desk, furiously tapping away on her phone with a scowl that could kill. "If that jerk shows up outside this window again today, I am pouring a bucket of boiling water on his head. I don't care if he's a billionaire."I clutched the warm mug between my shaking hands, staring blankly down at the swirling dark liquid.BZZZZZZ!My phone lit up on the nightstand.Daniel Walker calling.I didn't even hesitate this time.
