The CEO's Ex-wife Return As A Billionaire Heiress chapter 176
EmilyI woke up slowly, awareness creeping in gradually like the gentle morning light filtering through the curtains. I was warm, comfortable, wrapped in soft sheets that smelled like Alex, a mixture of his cologne and something uniquely him.My eyes fluttered open, and I realized I was alone in the bed.For a moment, panic gripped me. Had last night been a dream? Had I imagined the reconciliation, the lovemaking, the whispered promises?But no, I was in Alex's bed, in his room, and I could hear sounds coming from downstairs. The clatter of dishes, the opening and closing of cabinets, and footsteps moving around the kitchen.I smiled and stretched, feeling muscles I hadn't used in years pleasantly sore. Last night was... incredible. Perfect. Everything I had been missing for six years without even fully realizing it.Alex and I had reconnected in every possible way, emotionally, mentally, and physically. We had talked, laughed, made love, and fallen asleep wrapped in each other's arm

Alex After he left, Emily collapsed against me, sobbing."I'm so sorry," she said over and over. "I'm so sorry I didn't believe you. I'm so sorry I walked away from you at your mother's funeral. I'm so sorry...""Shh," I said, holding her tight. "It's okay. We're okay. We're going to figure out who did this, and we're going to make sure it never happens again.""Someone really hates us," she whispered. "Someone really wants to destroy what we have.""But they won't succeed. Because we're stronger than that. We're stronger together than we've ever been apart."She pulled back to look at me, her eyes red and swollen. "I love you, Alex. I love you so much. And I'm so scared of losing you.""You're never going to lose me. I promise you that." I cupped her face in my hands. "Emily, I want to take you somewhere tonight. Somewhere special. Just the two of us. We need time to reconnect, to remind ourselves why we're fighting so hard for this.""What about the children?""Nathaniel can watch

Alex Finally, she sent me a text: "Stop calling me. I need time."I texted back: "I have proof. Security footage, medical tests, everything. Please let me show you. Please give me a chance to explain."There was a long pause before she replied: "Fine. Come to my house tomorrow at 2 PM. Bring your evidence.".......The next afternoon, I arrived at Emily's mansion at exactly 2 PM. This time, she answered the door herself.She looked beautiful but tired, with dark circles under her eyes that suggested she hadn't been sleeping well either."Come in," she said without warmth.I followed her into the living room. Nathaniel was there too, sitting in a chair with his arms crossed, watching me like a hawk."Does he need to be here?" I asked Emily."Yes," she said firmly. "Nathaniel is my friend and advisor. Whatever you have to show me, you can show us both."I didn't like it, but I wasn't in a position to argue.I set up my laptop on the coffee table and pulled up the security footage. "Thi

AlexThe day after my mother's funeral was the worst day of my life.Worse than when I thought Emily had moved on six years ago. Worse than the divorce with Vanessa. Worse than the accident that put me in a coma.Because this time, I was losing Emily, and it was happening right in front of me, and there was nothing I could do to stop it.I barely slept that night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the hurt on Emily's face when she walked into that ballroom. The betrayal in her eyes. The way she had looked at me was like I was a stranger.By dawn, I couldn't take it anymore. I got dressed, checked on the children who were still asleep, and drove to Emily's house.I had to make her understand. I had to show her the truth.When I pulled up to her mansion, the sun was just rising. I knew it was early, too early for an unexpected visit but I couldn't wait another minute.I rang the doorbell and waited.The door opened, but it wasn't Emily. It was Nathaniel.He was wearing casual clothes,

Emily "Don't touch me.""Emily...""I said, don't touch me!" Tears were streaming down my face now. "I trusted you, Alex. After everything, I trusted you. And you broke that trust.""I didn't! I swear on my mother's grave, I did not betray you. Someone is trying to destroy us. Someone drugged me, set up that scene, made sure you would walk in at the right moment to see it...""Or maybe you're just making excuses. Maybe you wanted her all along, and you finally gave in to it.""No." He grabbed my shoulders, holding me firmly but gently. "No, Emily. I love you. Only you. I have only ever loved you.""Let me go.""Not until you hear me. Not until you...""Alex, let me..."He suddenly sealed my lips with his kiss, cutting me off. His lips crashed against mine. His arms wrapped around me, pulling me against him, and he kissed me like his life depended on it.For a moment, one traitorous moment, I kissed him back. Because my body remembered him, remembered us, remembered how right it felt

Emily The next morning, I woke up with swollen eyes and a pounding headache. The funeral was at eleven o'clock.I had to go. For the children, if nothing else. Lucas, Lily, and Phil needed me to be there. This was their grandmother's funeral.I couldn't let my anger at Alex prevent me from supporting the children.I got dressed in a simple black dress, applied makeup to hide the evidence of my crying, and drove to the Thompson estate, where the funeral was being held.The grounds were already filled with people when I arrived—family, friends, business associates, all dressed in black and speaking in hushed tones.I saw Alex immediately. He was standing near the entrance, greeting guests, looking absolutely terrible. His face was pale and drawn, his eyes were red and hollow, and he moved like every step caused him pain.When he saw me, his whole face lit up with desperate hope.I looked away and walked past him toward where the children were standing with Nathaniel."Mummy!" Lily ran
