Emily's POV

I looked at Chloe.

I saw everything. I saw the millisecond when doubt flickered through her eyes, a quick shadow that crossed the green of her irises and vanished.

The world of luxury, the magazine covers, the comfort, the runway lights… it all hung by a thread, and I saw the exact moment she looked at that thread and decided to cut it.

She lifted her chin. A small gesture, but charged with dignity. Her eyes glistened, but her mouth was a firm line.

She squeezed my waist one last ti

  • The Contract That Put Me in His Father's Bed   Chapter 63 [He knows]

    Emily's POV The judge raised his eyes from the paper and fixed them on me. The pen was in my hand. The white paper in front of me. The world waiting. "Emily Rose Parker," he said, his voice deep, his English accent thick, "do you take this man to be your lawful husband?" Silence settled in the room. I looked at Marcus. His smile was a well of darkness. His blue eyes shone with contained fury. I looked at the unknown people. The suited men. The dressed-up women. The rehearsed smiles. The photographers' cameras. I looked at the white dress that covered me. The lace scratched my skin. The pearls glowed under the lamplight. "No," I said. The room fell silent. A heavy, dense silence that tightened my chest. "I do not accept." Marcus blinked. Just once. The smile froze on his face. "Who are these people?" I continued, my voice gaining strength. Fear turned into anger. "What kind of theater is this? Did you hire actors to manipulate me?" The gray-suited man in the back exchanged

    Emily's POVThe hotel room felt smaller now.The walls were closing in around me, the floor seemed to have grown colder beneath my bare feet.Marcus stood by the window, his back to me, a dark silhouette against the Tokyo skyline. The morning sun painted everything gold, but inside I felt only gray."You were different in college," I said, my voice low. "You seemed like someone else. Someone who cared. Someone who listened.""And now?" He didn't turn around."Now I don't recognize you."He turned. His blue eyes were calm, but there was a coldness in them that chilled my spine."People change, Emily.""People don't turn into monsters overnight."He took a step toward me. I stepped back. The bed hit the back of my knees."Monster?" He repeated the word as if tasting it. "Is that how you see me?""What do you want me to see? A man who kidnapped me? Who brought me to the other side of the world against my will?""I brought you here so we could give our love a chance.""There's no love her

    Marcus's POV The hotel suite was silent except for the distant hum of Tokyo waking up outside the window. The sun was rising over the city, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink that should have been beautiful. I didn't notice. My eyes were on her. Emily stood by the window, her arms wrapped around her body, her back to me. She hadn't moved in minutes. Maybe hours. The blue dress she wore was wrinkled from the flight, her hair messy, her shoulders tense. "Emily," I called. She didn't turn. Didn't move. Didn't even acknowledge I had spoken. "Emily, please." Nothing. Just the rigid line of her spine, the way her fingers dug into her own arms. "What do you want, Marcus?" Her voice was flat. Cold. She still didn't turn around. "I want to talk." "We've talked." "We've yelled. We've accused. We've hurt each other." I took a step closer. She didn't move away, but her shoulders tightened. That was something. That was nothing. "We've never really talked." "Because there's

    Arthur's POVThe phone rang for the tenth time in the last hour. Maybe the fifteenth. I had lost count. Each unanswered call was a punch to the gut, a cold fist tightening around my chest.Straight to voicemail.Every time."Emily, where are you?" I muttered, ending the call and immediately dialing again. "Pick up. Please pick up."Nothing.I threw the phone onto the sofa. It bounced once, landed on the cushion, and slid to the edge, threatening to fall. I didn't care.The mansion's living room was huge, cold, impersonal. Crystal chandeliers, marble floors, paintings worth more than most people's annual salaries. Nothing mattered. Everything felt like a cage.She hadn't shown up at the café.She hadn't answered my message.She hadn't come to the meeting point we had arranged.Where are you, Emily?I grabbed my coat. The black fabric was heavy in my hands, but I put it on anyway. The keys to the car were on the side table, next to a vase of fresh flowers that Vivienne must have ordered

    Marcus's POV"No," she said. Her voice came out in a thread of strength that broke and died before reaching me. I squeezed her arm tighter. She whimpered. "No, Marcus. I'm not going. I'm not going anywhere with you.""Yes, you are.""Let go of me.""No.""Don't force me…""Force you to what?" My thumb slid over the skin of her shoulder, feeling her flesh tremble beneath my touch. "Force you to come with the father of your child? Force you to give our baby a future?""Let go of me, Marcus.""Are you going to fight? Are you going to scream? Are you going to call the police?"Tears streamed down her face. One. Two. Three. They fell on her blue dress, making small dark stains on the fabric."Please," she whispered. Her chin trembled. The strength she had shown seconds before had vanished, replaced by raw, primal panic. "Please, don't do this. Not here. Not now.""Here is the perfect place." I pulled her against me. Her body pressed against mine. I felt her slightly rounded belly push agai

    Marcus's POVThe computer screen glowed in the dim light of the hotel room. The bluish light cast shadows on the beige walls, drawing irregular lines that looked like the cages where I felt trapped.The cursor blinked. Impatient. My hands trembled slightly – not from fear, but from a cold rage consuming me from within.I opened the email.The work order was signed by Arthur Sterling. My father. The man who brought me into the world, who gave me his blood, his name, his legacy. The same man who now wanted to exile me to Japan like a stray dog being thrown a bone far from home."Marcus is to assume management of the Asian branch effective immediately. Indefinite period."I read the sentence once. Then again. Then again.The blood rushed to my head. I clenched my fists over the keyboard."Is that what you want, father?" I murmured, my voice coming out in an icy whisper. "Then that's what you'll get."I closed the laptop with a dry snap. The sound echoed through the empty room like a warn
