"Who did this to you?" Adrian’s voice cut through the silence, filled with rage.

His eyes scanned my face, his brows furrowed so tightly I could feel the anger radiating from him like heat. His jaw clenched, his fists balled at his sides.

For the first time in my life, someone was truly angry—for me.

Someone actually cared. Not just the way people pretend to care. But real, raw concern.

I lowered my eyes, tears burning the back of my throat. I couldn’t tell him. Not now. Not ever. That it was my sister who did this to me.

I sobbed softly instead, turning my face away in shame.

Without another word, Adrian pulled me into a hug.

A warm, tight, firm embrace.

I melted into him. My arms wrapped around his body like I had finally found shelter from a storm. I coul

  • The billionaire's vengeful bride    Chapter twenty five

    ~EmiliaGetting to Mrs. Maria's house, I was thrown into confusion.It was supposed to be a weekend with just Adrian’s grandma.So what were Malik and Charlotte doing here?I stood by the door, my bag still clutched in my hand. My stomach tightened as I took in the unexpected scene.Adrian arched a brow and faced his grandmother."Care to explain, Grandma?"Mrs. Maria smiled and rubbed her hands together before placing them gently on her lap.“Well," she began, her voice light, "I thought it would be nice for Emilia to start getting used to the family.”Adrian sighed deeply, placing both hands on his waist.“Granny, it would have been nice if you had told me beforehand. We’re staying just for the weekend.”A housemaid appeared beside us with a slight bow.“Let me help you with these, sir,” she said, reaching out for the bags.Adrian handed over the bag without a word. Then he turned to her again.“The keys to my room?”She quickly placed the small bunch of keys in his outstretched han

    ~Adrian“How are you doing?” I asked, my voice flat.I wasn’t trying to sound polite. I didn’t care how he was doing.I had no patience for men who coasted through life—and he was one of them. Even though he’s my brother’s son, I couldn’t hide the way he annoyed me.“I’m pretty sure Grandma mentioned the weekend. Is your wife coming too?” he asked, putting extra weight on the word wife, like it held some kind of secret meaning.My brows twitched. Why was that so important to him?I let out a breath and tried to keep myself from reacting. He wasn’t worth the energy.“Is that why you called?” I said sharply. “Well, I was in the middle of something before you interrupted. I need to get back to it. Bye.”I hung up

    ~EmiliaI sighed, then turned to face the crowd.“Life is great, and marriage with Adrian has been just the best,” I said.The words came out too clean, too rehearsed. I felt them slide off my tongue without weight.Cameras flashed. The lights burned against my eyes, white and relentless. My dress felt tighter under the pressure, though nothing had changed.Someone raised a mic toward me. I didn’t hear the question. I didn’t care to.I stepped away before they could ask again. My arms ached from the shopping bags I clutched—too full, too heavy. The handles bit into my fingers, and I shifted them closer to my side, trying to appear casual.Adrian’s driver was waiting in the parking lot.I walked faster than I should have. My heels hit the pavement unevenly, each step sounding sharper

  • The billionaire's vengeful bride    Chapter twenty two

    ~EmiliaRummaging through my wardrobe, I let out a tired sigh. Everything inside looked… off. The sleeves were too loose, the fabric too stretched. My clothes had slacked in every possible way.“Uhh… what am I going to wear now?” I breathed out, slumping onto the edge of the bed with a soft thud.My shoulders drooped. The silence in the room only made me more aware of how unprepared I felt. Being married to a billionaire didn’t automatically mean you knew how to dress the part. There were expectations—silent, loud, and always hovering. I was supposed to look elegant, put-together… untouchable.But right now, I looked like someone who barely rolled out of bed in an old shirt that used to be white.I dragged my fingers through my hair and glanced at the mirror across the room. My reflection stared back—plain, unsure, and still trying to figure things out.I needed clothes that spoke for me. Clothes that made Adrian unable to look away.A slow, mischievous smile crept up my lips at the t

  • The billionaire's vengeful bride    Chapter twenty one

    ~Emilia“Do you mind explaining what just happened out there?”I lashed out the moment we stepped into the house. The ride home had been tense, so quiet that even the hum of the engine felt louder than usual.I had tried—really tried—to suppress the anger boiling inside me, but it was like trying to stop hot water from spilling over.My chest was tight. My jaw clenched. And now, standing here, the dam broke.But he didn’t even flinch.He calmly placed his suitcase on the sofa, not even looking in my direction. The sound of the leather brushing against the fabric filled the silence.Turning to me slowly, he uttered in that same frustratingly even tone, “Get some rest upstairs. We’ll talk about this tomorrow.”He loosened his tie, and it now hung lazily around his neck. He looked so composed. Too composed.His expression was unreadable, like none of this had touched him the way it shattered me.His face was so calm that it made me want to scream.“Tomorrow?” I scoffed, stepping forward.
