The Billionaire's Sinful Affair (Book 2) CH.159
The warm water eased the tension from Emmeline’s muscles and cleared the remaining fog from her mind.By the time she stepped out, she felt almost like herself again.She toweled her hair dry, slipped into the nightgown, and ran a comb through her damp locks.The silk felt like cool water on her sensitized skin.When she returned to the bedroom, the suite was quiet except for the rhythmic tapping of keys.Zavian reclined against the towering headboard, dressed in the black silk bottoms she'd laid out, a silver laptop balanced on his lap.Emmeline padded across the thick rug and climbed onto the mattress, crawling toward him like a curious cat. "What could possibly require your attention at this hour? Don't tell me Paris courts are holding midnight sessions."Zavian's blue eyes lifted from the display, raking slowly over the short hem of her blush nightgown before returning to her face.A dark heat flickered in the sapphire irises, though he kept his tone dry. "The judiciary never slee

"The suite you booked for us is absolutely stunning, and the view is breathtaking. If we'd come in summer, I'd spend every single moment on this balcony."Emmeline turned back, pure happiness illuminating her features, the earlier quarrel momentarily forgotten.The sweep of the city laid out before her filled her with a thrilling sense of adventure.Zavian stood near the entrance of the salon, his deep blue gaze fixed on her with a brooding intensity that kept its distance. "The room your brother booked was on the opposite side of the building, overlooking an alleyway. I made sure to reserve a completely different wing."The remark carried a lingering bite, a reminder that his anger over the restaurant hadn't fully dissolved.Zavian turned on his heel, retrieved their bags from the threshold, and dragged them toward the spacious closet."You can use the bathroom before me. I have work to finish." His tone was clipped, almost impersonal.The sudden emotional distance sent a hollow pang

The drive from the restaurant to the hotel passed in thick, unbearable silence.Paris blurred past the tinted windows in streaks of wet neon lights and amber streetlamps.Neither of them uttered a single word.Zavian kept his hands resting loosely on the leather steering wheel, his profile resembling a statue carved from frozen marble.The car finally pulled to a smooth stop before an imposing, grand hotel located off the Place Vendôme.The limestone facade glowed with old-world, aristocratic wealth. Doormen dressed in gold-braided uniforms rushed forward instantly, unloading their luggage.Emmeline stepped into the opulent marble lobby. The sharp click of her heels echoed loudly toward the polished reception desk.She reached into her handbag for her confirmation slip, determined to maintain her hard-won independence."Good evening. I have a reservation under the name of Emmeline Lawson."Zavian moved up behind her, his hand resting heavily on the marble counter as he leaned forward,

Emmeline stepped back until the brass handrail dug into her spine as tears of hot, furious humiliation pricked her eyes."You think your jealousy makes you look strong? It makes you look cruel. You met Jasper five minutes ago and immediately degraded him. He is a talented, honest man who agreed to manage this branch because he believes in me. And you treated him like vermin." Her lower lip trembled."Why do you always weaponize my past against me? Are you trying to make me feel dirty? Do you want me to feel like a traitor for choosing you?"Zavian's expression fractured, a flicker of genuine shock crossing his features.He forced his eyes shut, his jaw working as he wrestled the feral instincts back into the dark corners of his mind."Emmeline, don't twist this into something it isn't." He dragged a hand through his dark hair, the motion sharp with frayed control.When his eyes opened again, the silver had receded, leaving behind a stormy, exhausted blue. "How many times must we fight

Jasper blanched, recoiling slightly under the sheer venom of the rebuke.The absolute arrogance and hostility rolling off the older man left the young chef entirely tongue-tied."I see. I... I didn't realize." He stuttered.Emmeline shot Zavian a sharp, warning look, but the man ignored her completely."So this young man was your close companion at the culinary school you graduated from two years ago?" His gaze locked onto Jasper with calculation, measuring the latter like an insect that had dared crawl across his territory."Is that correct?" Zavian turned to Emmeline, his features laced with disdain that failed to hide the simmering jealousy beneath.Emmeline felt the invisible walls of a trap closing around her."Yes, that's right." She swallowed hard, keeping her tone clipped and guarded."And she entrusted a recent graduate to manage a flagship location in Paris? Wouldn't it have been wiser to hire someone with actual decades of professional experience?" Zavian shifted his icy bl

A young man of medium build stood holding a clipboard, his face dusted with white flour and his black chef's apron bearing the colorful battle scars of fresh reductions and simmering stocks."Jasper Liu!"The formal, guarded expression on the young chef's face vanished instantly, replaced by a radiant grin that altered his entire appearance."Emmeline!" Jasper dropped the clipboard onto a nearby service station and rushed forward, switching immediately to English with an audible rush of relief and joy."I knew you were arriving for the opening, but I didn't recognize you from behind. You look incredible, so sophisticated.""I have an unforgettable silhouette. Perhaps you should get your eyes checked." Emmeline felt a spark of nostalgia ignite in her chest, tossing her dark curls over her shoulder with an easy, teasing smile.Her breath hitched when Zavian's fingers suddenly clamped around her hand.Emmeline glanced sideways, her heart leaping into her throat as she registered the sudd

Emmeline's name had never sounded like that before. On the lips of parishioners or the convent superiors, it was always formal and entirely professional. But on his lips, it sounded like a dark, desperate prayer.She shivered as her treacherous body betrayed her once again.His voice carried the eas

The world came back to Emmeline in fragments.First, there was warmth seeping into her bones, melting into places inside her that'd always felt faintly numb. It felt like coming home after wandering alone for a lifetime. Then came the scent. It was dark, masculine, and wholly unfamiliar. It was the

Zavian was beyond livid. A nun. His Emmeline, the woman who'd burned in his arms with a passion that set his very soul on fire, had become a nun. The woman who'd once surrendered everything for love had instead surrendered everything to God.He could barely contain the manic laughter bubbling up fr

The temperature in the cathedral plummeted further as the dark stranger advanced down the center aisle.Several congregation members succumbed to their terror and fainted outright, while others began to pray frantically."Hail Mary, full of grace." Whispered words tumbled over each other in despera
