Emily straggled behind Rex. She was unsure of what he wanted to say or which version of him she was about to face.

So far, she’d met two sides of the man—the Rex with the attitude and the unctuous Rex who seemed like he was forcing himself to play nice.

A few steps away from Drew's room, Rex suddenly stopped and turned to face her.

“Let me have your phone,” he ordered, his hands already stretched out.

With a raised brow, Emily looked at him. Her phone was her space. Even though she had nothin

  • The Unwritten Secret    Chapter 14

    Emily was certain that Rex’s hands had turned numb as she watched him struggle to pull the not-so-far-away box closer. She simply stood erect, giving him the space she was sure he needed before folding her hands across her body .Her lips twitched and her eyes twinkled with amusement as she watched Rex—who was supposed to be a dignified billionaire CEO—look awkward .For a few seconds, her mind and lips had some sort of deliberation on whether or not to speak. She hesitated, her eyes bouncing between Rex's frustrated face and the box, “If you let me, I could–”Rex shot her a look. Just one look and it made her swallow the remaining words .A silent, “Don't dare me.”And then he ended up using his legs, his weak fingers hanging in the air like useless tentacles .Oh! if only he could see himself right now—he looked like a rooster trying to stretch its legs .Emily's struggles to keep a straight face were in vain. She bit her lips to suppress a giggle but still got betrayed anyway .Stu

    A week later .‘I'm forced to believe they may have had a thing going on, sir. That's the only way to explain the five-year-old deleted photo of them together on the internet.’ Camilla's words echoed in Rex's head as his fist slammed into the punching bag .Each punch was different from the next, carrying a raw pressure that sent the bag rocking back and forth—violently . His blood boiled hotter than it did when he first saw that face! The one he dreaded aside from his father's .Leo freaking Worthington!Three decades later, and the son of a bitch thought he could just crawl his pathetic self into his home. His world. His territory!He drove his fist into the bag hard enough that the metal chain groaned loudly. Beneath the noise, Rex could hear his heart pounding furiously against his ribcage .He had always known Leo to be a petty and dumb motherfucking bastard, but using his lover, Emily, to sneak his way into his life? That was audacious!Did he blame himself? Yes. Absolutely! Be

    Emily woke up the next morning with a migraine. She had sobbed until she dozed off the prior night. She got out of bed and went to Drew's room to find him deeply asleep. “Time to wake up, sleepyhead,” Emily whispered as she gently removed the cover.Drew turned onto his side, yet his eyes were still closed.Seeing this, Emily nudged his shoulder lightly, “Come on, you don't want to be late for school, do you?”With a mild groan, Drew slowly sat up—stroking his eyes.Emily smiled, then led him to the bathroom. It was obvious Drew was uncomfortable since it was the first time she was bathing him. Either way, she helped him through his shower.After the bath, he was more awake. She dressed him in his uniform and then walked him downstairs.Drew's breakfast was waiting, already served by the chef. She settled next to him—leaning her chin on her palm as she watched him.Just when Drew was through—she took him to the car and waited for him to hop in. She then stood to watch the car drive

    Emily almost dropped to the ground as soon as she saw Leo. Her throat tightened, her chest ached, and her adrenaline rushed fast as Leo approached her.“Long time no see, Emily,” Leo drawled, flashing a grin.Emily's lips trembled as she forced the words out, “Why – why are you here?” Leo casually replied, “Oh, for business.”He gave Emily a once-over, then turned to see the security guards facing him like they were ready for action.Seeing this, Leo smirked, then gazed back at Emily. With a low, mocking voice, he said, “I see you snagged a rich guy, huh. How do you always do that?”Emily ignored his question. She stared at him down, her fists clasped by her side.Observing Emily's expression, Leo tilted his head. “Come on, Emily. It’s been what? Four years? You just disappeared.” Disappeared.Leo made it sound so casual, like she had vanished on purpose.The truth was, although Emily had disappeared, Leo hadn't cared. Four years ago, Emily caught him with another woman. Unlike mos

    Emily headed downstairs. To her relief Rex hadn't gone into his room yet. He was in his home office, concentrating on his computer—with the door slightly open.Most men with high positions in major corporations had home offices—to continue working once they returned home.As for Rex, it was because he was trying to balance work and parenting. He needed to keep an eye on things, stay close to Drew and still run his empire.Not wanting to disturb him, Emily was about to turn back when Rex looked up and spotted her through the gap.“Emily,” he called out. “What is it?”Emily wavered for a second, then entered the office.Rex probably thought she came to apologize—maybe even take the card back, now that she'd realized she was wrong for rejecting it, and for walking out on him too.Clearing her throat, Emily stated, “I came to talk about Drew.”Rex leaned back slightly in his chair. “What about him?”“I thought it'd be nice to take him to the park, however, I wanted to confirm if it's fin

Her phone was her space. Even though she had nothing to hide, it was still off-limits to everyone.“I’m sorry, but may I know why?” Emily inquired serenely.The typical Rex would have flared up by now. But this time, he didn't—not with Drew nearby. “To give you my number,” he replied. “We need to reach one another, so I don't have to call the butler every time I need to be updated about my son.”He had a point. With everything that happened before and after her arrival, the pair had forgotten something as basic as exchanging contacts.Hearing
