Semua Bab After the Divorce: Mr. Billionaire Begs for My Forgiveness: Bab 171 - Bab 180

Emelia's POVI had to shake my head to force myself out of the shock of Lily's wrath. Once I'd come to my senses, all I saw was red. The flames of my own rage fanned in my chest, but I had to exercise some caution.Lily could do whatever she wanted to dig her hole deeper, but I needed to handle this like an actual adult.No matter how much I wanted to slap the absolute hell out of her."I hope you're ready to pay for all of this." I stated coldly. "Everything you've broken, and all the slander you've attempted against my employees and company—I'm pursuing legal action for it all."Lily thrashed against the security guards who held her arms. "If anyone's paying, it's YOU!" She shouted. "I am Victor Russo's WIFE! Do you think you can get away with mistreating the wife of the most powerful and influential CEO in all of Greenport? No one treats ME like this! I WILL RUIN YOU!"Extra security had come in at this point as they formed a barricade between us and the rest of the crowd. Their mur

Emelia's POVThe ambulance whizzed its way through rush-hour traffic to get Victor to the hospital. I sat in the back with my eyes mostly fixated on the small back window, but every so often, my gaze would drift back to him.The initial shock of everything that happened and he was more or less asleep. I was told that his vitals were stable, and that the wound didn't appear too deep or serious, but he still needed to be seen by the doctors anyway.As for Lily, they never found her. The shift manager for the store sent me a text and told me the police were still searching. How she managed to evade them was beyond me, but I honestly didn't care.Once all of this finally settled, I was going to pursue legal action anyway. Lily was going to pay one way or another; and she couldn't go far without Victor's money.The emergency personnel took us to Greenport Mercy Hospital. I thought to myself that once Victor was settled, I'd go check up on my dad since I was here. Luckily, it didn't take us

Lily's POVAfter what I'd done to Victor, the last place I should've fled to was his house. But with his mom there, I knew I could count on her to keep me safe. She loved me like a daughter.Things would've been okay.Except, I wasn't expecting Victor to come home as soon as he did.I'd just stepped out of the shower when I heard his voice boom throughout the whole house. I scrambled quickly to get dressed, doing so quietly and hoping he wouldn't come into the bedroom we now shared.I held my breath as my heart stopped beating. When I pressed my ear to the door to listen in on their conversation, I couldn't believe that I was going to hear what I did next:"But my marriage to Lily? It's OVER. Especially since she's UNFIT to be a mother anyway!"The world around me was reduced to nothing but static noise as I dropped to my knees.Victor was really going to divorce me! I thought it was a bluff back at the store! But now…Panic began to rise in my chest, but I couldn't afford to make a sc

Emelia's POVGrandpa Antonio and I sat uninterrupted in my office for quite some time. We spoke of how things unfolded over the last two years.While my time away in Italy seemed to have brightened my days, it seemed that my absence dimmed his…"I don't mean to tell you that to make you feel sorry for me, my dear." He offered a lighthearted chuckle. "I just missed you… Things were different after you left.""I know, I get what you mean…" I sighed. "You and Alexis were the only two people I didn't really want to leave behind… but I had to do what was right for my mental health.""And I understand that wholeheartedly. All a grandfather ever wants for his grandbabies is for them to be happy. Italy offered you that peace that you needed after your nasty divorce… I'm just sorry that it came to that."I shrugged my shoulders. "Sometimes we learn our lessons the hard way. I'm just glad to be home, and that I get to see more of you and Alexis."Grandpa pulled me in for another hug and smiled.

Emelia's POV Against my better judgement, I observed him from afar. It shouldn't have mattered to me what he was doing out at this hour—especially since I'd been doing anything and everything to avoid him like the plague. Yet, when I caught him staring longingly at the night sky above, I couldn't help but wonder what was going through his mind. Even though I knew exactly what he was thinking about. Especially since he'd made it painfully obvious every time we ran into one another. Two years... Two years should've been more than enough time. He got to marry the true love of his life and bore a child with her. Why was he still so consumed by the idea of us? It was like this time apart only made him realize how wrong he treated me. Did he maybe realize his true feelings for— I shook away the thought before it completed itself. No, it shouldn't have mattered. Victor could apologize to me as many times as he wanted, but it wouldn't make up for what he put me through. And even tho
