Semua Bab Desired by the Billionaire Playboy : Bab 1 - Bab 10

Emily's pov "Perfect," I smiled to myself after lighting the scented candle and backing away to admire my work. A romantic steak dinner with wine and rose flower petals scattered on a fresh floral tablecloth. Tonight was my fifth wedding anniversary to Brad Winchester, the love of my life. He already gave me a heads up that we wouldn't be able to go to a restaurant this time, he lost a big project recently, and his agency took a hit. I didn't want to be selfish. For the first two years of our marriage, he forgot our anniversary. For the third, he bought me gas station flowers and convenience store chocolates. Then last year, he took me to a two-star restaurant. The food honestly tasted like rat piss, but I smiled through it all. He was just going through a tough time, and as his wife, I was supposed to support him, so tonight I made this surprise dinner that I'd been planning for weeks. Now that I was done, I took off my apron and wiped my hands clean of any residue of cooking befo

Emily's pov Becky was truly the golden child. I'd get straight A's, but that was 'expected.' Becky would manage to avoid straight 'F's, and my parents would shake the house down to its foundation, congratulating her like she just solved world hunger. After I left that house, I thought I'd left all that behind.But nope!It wasn't bad enough that she already had everything; she had to take the little I had as well."I want to go back home," I told Wendy quietly. I thought she'd argue and nag, but she agreed easily. When we passed the sliding doors of the hotel, I was still thinking of Brad; he had never once kissed me like that, leaning in with his whole body while he craved with need. That was my wake-up call. I held Wendy tighter."You know what?" I said, a rush of determination entering me, "Fuck Brad, the night is young and I deserve to have fun. Who cares about him?"Wendy looked at me worriedly at first, then squeezed my hand with support, smiling back in approval. We went

Emily's pov I moved in with Wendy, but that was supposed to be a temporary measure. I thought that after the divorce, from my own fifty percent, I could get my own decent apartment and get back on my feet. Wendy recommended a good lawyer. He was a cousin of hers and a nice guy; plump, with thick frames and a burning sense of justice. He told me that the affair Brad had would give me a sure advantage. For the first few months of the divorce proceedings, Brad was suspiciously docile and understanding. Of course, that did not make me want to take him back, but rather, I was on my guard knowing that he would definitely pull something. Then, after another hectic day in court, I stepped out with a smirk on my face, knowing that soon I would be officially severed from that man forever and with enough cash to keep me afloat for a while. Wendy had suggested that we go on a girls' trip. I agreed as I hadn't been on a proper outing all along because Brad would always be waiting back at home, r

Emily's POVI gathered myself up and rose slowly, forcing my shaky legs to move. With my eyes fixed on the floor, I walked quietly out of the office. My heart felt heavy, so heavy it hurt to breathe. But I refused to break down in front of everyone.This had been it. Rejection after rejection. Every company, every application always ended the same sting of humiliation all over again. It was beginning to take over my life.Outside, I flagged down a taxi, my chest tightening as I gave the driver the address to Wendy’s house.Wendy was the only person by my side.As the car moved, I stared out the window, watching the world blur past. The guilt sat in my stomach. For the past three weeks, I had been living off Wendy’s salary and kindness without contributing a single thing.She never complained, but that almost made it worse.She was a girl too, trying to make ends meet, managing her own struggles. And here I was being a burden she didn’t ask for.The thought made my eyes sting again. I

Tyler's POV“Three…” I counted, keeping my tone calm. She just stared at me, eyes wide and confused, like she couldn’t decide if this was a joke or a nightmare.“Two—”“Wait!” she gasped suddenly. “Wait, please.”I stopped counting, tilting my head slightly as I looked at her. Her chest was rising and falling fast, her eyes glistening with tears. “I’m listening,” I smirked.“I’ll… I’ll marry you,” she whispered, so softly that I almost didn't hear it.Wl, I wasn't surprised. I knew that would be the answer.I smiled in satisfaction. “Smart choice, baby doll.”She didn’t have anyone else, and she knew I was the only one who could fix this. Of course she'd say yes to me.She dropped back into her seat as though to recollect her thoughts. I watched her quietly for a moment, she looked so fragile.“You don’t need to look so disturbed,” I said, leaning a little closer. “I mean, it’s not like I’m forcing you into a cage or anything.”Her eyes turned toward me.The reason I needed to get ma
