Emily

“Emily,” Mrs. Thomson said first, holding out a silver-wrapped box. “Congratulations. I can't believe you are the face behind.... I mean, the heiress to the king's empire. Goodness, Emily. You really surprised me.” She said, her voice filled with shock and disbelief.

I accepted the gift with a small smile, not missing the way her hand trembled slightly. “Thank you, Mrs. Thomson. I’m as surprised as you are.”

Her lips twitched. She hadn’t expected me to be this poised.

Then Vanessa stepped forward with her gift, an expensive perfume from the looks of it.

“I must say,” she started, her tone light but laced with jealousy, “you really did well for yourself.”

“I do try,” I replied, locking eyes with her.

She tilted her head and let out a small laugh. “I see you’ve moved on… just like Alex.”

My fingers tightened slightly around the gift bag.

“We’re married now,” she added, raising her left hand proudly to flash a diamond ring at me. “It was a small wedding last year. Very private. O

  • The CEO's Ex-wife Return As A Billionaire Heiress    chapter 12

    EmilyI held Grandma’s hand tightly as I gently rubbed my thumb over her fragile fingers. Tears clouded my eyes, and I blinked them away, but they kept falling soft and slow. The steady beep of the hospital machine beside us was the only sound in the room, but inside me… it was chaos.Lying here like this, she looked so small. So unlike the powerful woman who had stepped into my life six years ago like a force of nature.Six years ago…If someone had told me back then that I had a grandmother, let alone one of the richest and most powerful women in the world. I would have laughed bitterly. I didn’t grow up with any grandparents. My mother never spoke about her parents and my father? He never has time for me, let alone tell me about his mother.But I remember that day like it was yesterday. The day my marriage came to an end.I was broken, lost as I wandered around the city with nothing but pain in my heart and my unborn child in my womb. I just signed my divorce papers then, and I h

    EmilyNathaniel opened the car door for me like he always did, gently and thoughtfully. His smile was warm as he leaned in and pressed a soft kiss on my cheek.“Goodnight, Emily,” he said. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”I smiled and nodded, tired but grateful. “Goodnight, Nathaniel. And… thank you again.”He gave me one last look before gently closing the door. The car pulled away from the venue and the world outside was dark and quiet. I leaned my head back against the seat and let out a long breath. My body ached from hours of standing and smiling, but somewhere deep inside, I felt proud. God, I have done it. I have faced them—Alex, Vanessa, Mrs Thompson… even my stepmother and I didn't break down. I wasn’t the same Emily anymore.We were almost at the estate when my phone began to ring.I frowned, confused. Who could be calling me this late?I picked it up and saw Dr. Samuel, our family doctor's name, glowing on the screenMy heart skipped a beat as I quickly answered, trying to keep m

    EmilyI watched as the security walked Alex out of the building.Part of me wanted to laugh while some other part of me wanted to cry, not because I was hurt... no. That pain died six years ago. I was just stunned that Alex still thought he could barge into my life, hold my hand and expect me to melt like I used to.He really thought I was still the weak, naive girl who cried herself to sleep, waiting for him to come home.Well, He thought wrong. I am no longer that Emily. That Emily died the day she signed her divorce papers with tears in her eyes and a child in her belly. This Emily, this version standing tall and powerful, is built with fire and heartbreak and I am going to make every single one of them pay for what they did to me.I turned back to my guests with a calm smile on my face as if nothing had happened. My heels clicked on the marble floor as I continued to greet the long line of guests, businessmen, partners, investors, and family members who had once looked down on me.

    AlexNo, there must be a mistake somewhere. “Umm... Mister,” the boy said coldly, his eyes sharp and unreadable, “Stop calling me Phyl and don’t ever speak to my sister again.”I froze as I stared at him, trying to make sense of what I just heard. His voice… his face… even the way he frowned... it was all Phyl, my son. Yet, he stood there like a complete stranger, talking to me like I was nothing but a nuisance.He turned to Lily and gave her a hard stare. “I thought I warned you not to talk to strangers?”Lily immediately lowered her head. “I’m sorry, Lucas. I just…”Lucas? Am I going insane?"God, Something is wrong,” I muttered under my breath. “This can’t be real.”I reached out gently, wanting to touch him, just to feel his skin, to convince myself I wasn’t going insane.But he slapped my hand away with so much force I stumbled back. Then, he stepped in front of Lily protectively, shielding her.“Don’t you dare try to touch me,” he said, his voice cold, calm… commanding. “And i

    Alex“How dare you stop me!” Emily yelled, her voice contorted with rage and before I could even blink, she slapped me hard across the face.My head turned to the side as my ears started ringing. My face burned from the sting but the pain wasn’t just on my skin... it went deeper as it hurt my pride, my ego, my name.“What! You slapped me?” I asked, still in shock. My voice came out louder than I expected. I could feel the heat rising in my chest, mixing with rage. Everyone around us had gone silent. All eyes were on me as they pulled their phones out and began recording.“And I will do it again,” she said coldly, “if you ever dare to stop me.”Then she turned to walk away, like I was nothing, like I didn’t deserve her time, like I was just some random man on the street.Gush, the humiliation was just too much.I wanted to pull her back, to show her that no woman, no matter who she thought she was, could slap Alex Thomson and walk away.I didn’t care if she was now the heiress of the
