EMELY

“Who was the man you were just meeting?”

Alexander’s voice was flat, but loud enough to draw the attention of several people on the sidewalk. He was already standing directly in front of me, one hand tucked into his coat pocket, his eyes narrowed and sharp like knives. His black car was parked crookedly behind him. He must have stopped abruptly the moment he saw me walk out of the café.

My heart slammed violently against my ribs. Panic surged up my throat, making it hard to breathe.

“Alex…” I stammered, stepping back half a pace. “What are you doing here?”

“Answer me first,” he said coldly, stepping closer until barely a meter separated us. “Who was the man who walked you to the door? And don’t tell me he was just an old friend. I saw his face clearly.”

I swallowed, my fingers tightening around my bag. Steven was still faintly visible through the café window, and I silently prayed he wouldn’t come outside.

“It was Steven Hale,” I said at last, my voice barely steady. “He—”

    LORIANThe door to Alexander’s office clicked shut behind me, soft but enough to make my heart race faster. I’d felt his gaze the moment I walked in: hungry, dark, like a predator finally uncaged.“Alex…” I started, half-teasing, but before I could finish, he pulled me into his arms. His body was hard, burning against mine, hands gripping my waist tight, as if I might slip away.He lifted me effortlessly and set me on the wide desk. Papers scattered to the floor; he didn’t care. His mouth crashed onto mine, rough, demanding, no hesitation.I moaned quietly into the kiss, hands instinctively clutching his shoulders. God, I’d missed this. Missed the way he claimed me completely.Deep down, I knew it was wrong. Back in college, I’d been the one to leave him, the one who cheated with someone else because I thought Alexander was too intense, too controlling. I regretted it now, regretted almost losing him forever.But who cared about regret anymore?I was carrying his child. And I hoped wi

  • THE BILLIONARE'S UNWANTED WIFE   CHAPTER 36: Control and Desire

    ALEXANDERI don’t understand what’s going through Emely’s head.How could she even think of forging a partnership with Steven Hale, the very rival who’s been circling Winchester Media Group like a shark, waiting for any sign of blood? What does she take me for? A husband she doesn’t respect? One she can simply ignore?Steven isn’t some amateur. He’s sharp, cunning, always one step ahead if you don’t watch him closely. And Emely, my wife, pregnant with my child, meets him alone. For a “script discussion,” she claims. I warned her clearly: no deals without my approval. She’d better listen. Because if she doesn’t, I’ll lose my temper. And I hate losing control.“Alex, what’s on your mind? You’ve looked restless all evening.”Lorian’s soft voice pulled me back. She sat beside me in the back of the car, her fingers brushing my cheek gently. We were on our way to the house, my house. I’d decided that afternoon, right after dropping Emely off from her little “meeting.” I went straight to Lor

    EMELYThat afternoon felt like a nightmare that refused to end.After Alexander said those words, as if my private room were nothing more than borrowed property, I could only stand frozen on the stairs. Below me, Lorian smiled wide, her eyes gleaming with victory. Alexander had already turned away, walking toward his study as if nothing at all were wrong.I went back up to the bedroom on unsteady legs. I closed the door softly and leaned against the wall. My breathing came out uneven, my eyes burned, but no tears fell. Not yet.Alexander appeared at the doorway not long after, without knocking.“Start packing this afternoon,” he said flatly. “Lorian will move in tonight so it’s done quickly. The guest room at the end of the corridor is ready.”I stared at him, my voice barely there. “Today?”“Yes.” His answer was short. “Don’t take too long. I’ll help Lorian move her things later.”Then he left. The door closed again.I stood in the middle of the room that had been my place to breathe

    EMELY“Oh? Didn’t Alexander tell you that starting today, I’ll be living in this house too?”The world seemed to grind to a halt. I stared at Lorian, my mouth hanging open, but no sound came out. It was still broad daylight, sunlight spilling through the corridor windows, yet the room suddenly felt dark, airless, as if the walls were closing in on me.“What… what do you mean?” My voice finally broke through, barely a whisper, trembling so badly it almost disappeared.Lorian’s smile widened. She stepped farther inside without waiting for an invitation and sat down at the edge of my bed as if she belonged there. She crossed her legs gracefully, one hand stroking her rounded belly, the other braced against the mattress, right where I usually slept.“Alexander said it would be more practical if I stayed here until I give birth,” she said lightly, her tone sweet, as though she were talking about planning a picnic. “Our pregnancies are so close together, Em. Your baby and mine will be born

  • THE BILLIONARE'S UNWANTED WIFE   CHAPTER 32: Who?

    EMELYI woke up that morning with my heart beating faster than usual.Not because of a nightmare, but because today I was going out. Alone. No family driver, no reporting my whereabouts to anyone. Just one hour, yet it felt like planning an escape.I stood in front of the wardrobe longer than I had in weeks, weighing my options. In the end, I chose a loose navy-blue midi dress. It was comfortable enough for my stomach, which was beginning to feel heavy, but still neat enough to suggest I cared about how I looked. I brushed my hair and swiped on a thin layer of nude lipstick. Small things, but it felt like slipping back into an old skin.When I went downstairs, Alexander was already seated at the dining table in his usual spot. A tablet in his hand, black coffee untouched beside it. He glanced up briefly as I entered, his gaze sharp as ever.“Eat first,” he said flatly, without a smile.I sat down and took some yogurt and fruit. My hands trembled slightly as I peeled an apple.“Where a
