All Chapters of Desired by the Billionaire Playboy : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Tyler's POV“Vivian, stop it!” I snapped, prying her hand from around my neck.We were supposed to be at this hotel for a meeting with some associates. A simple, straightforward business meeting. After it ended, I’d booked a room upstairs just to rest for a few minutes before heading out. But then, out of nowhere, Vivian came barging in.“Tyler,” she purred, stepping closer. “It’s just us in this room. Come on… don’t you miss me?”She bit her lower lip and pressed her softness against me, and I felt my jaw tighten. I pushed her back firmly. “Vivian, I said stop it.” I ran a hand through my hair, trying to steady my breath. This woman was exhausting. She’d been my personal assistant for almost three years. She was efficient when it came to work. The kind of employee any executive would want to keep. But somewhere along the way, things got a little out of line. We started having an affair.But I’d told her it was over, told her that part of our lives was done. But Vivian never seemed t

Emily's POVTyler let me out of the bathroom, his hand still loosely holding mine. My heart wouldn’t stop racing, and my head kept echoing his words over and over. ‘I don’t fuck her. We make love.’Just remembering it made my cheeks burn. I pressed my lips together, squirming a little as we walked. Tyler glanced at me.“Are you okay?” he asked quietly.I nodded too fast, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear and hiding my face. “Yeah, I’m fine,” I muttered.We stepped into the main area, and that was when Wendy spotted us. She rushed toward us.“Emily! I was about coming to you, but Tyler said he would go. I hope that bastard didn’t do anything” she said, frowning.Tyler’s expression didn’t change much. “If I see him anywhere near her again, he’ll get arrested.”Wendy nudged me playfully, wriggling her brows like she was trying to read my face. I glared at her lightly, but she just smirked.Then I looked at Tylerl. “But… Tyler, how come you’re here? I thought you were at work.”He lo

Emily's POVUpstairs in our bedroom, I felt completely tense. Tyler just kept staring at my arm. He had even added more ointment and cleaned the wound again. It wasn’t that deep, but he wouldn’t stop looking at it.“I think you’re bleeding again,” he said.“Tyler, it’s not bleeding,” I told him, holding up my arm so he could see. “I’m not bleeding, okay?”He sighed, running a hand over his face. “I think we should call the doctor now.”I shook my head. “It’s 10 p.m. already. And it’s not that bad. The first aid I got was fine. It’s… it’s really fine.”Tyler didn’t respond right away. He just kept looking at me, his eyes full of concern. After a long pause, he said, quietly, “I’m sorry about what Skylar did to you. I mean…”“It’s not her fault.” I swallowed. “Neither is it your fault,” I said. “She’s the one going through so much. She… she needs us. What's important is that we're there for her.”He leaned closer, his gaze never leaving my arm. “I just… I hate seeing you hurt, even a lit

Emily's POV My eyes widened as I looked into the bag. And then a sigh of relief escaped my lips, my hand instinctively going to my chest as my heart was still racing from the fall.The medicine hadn’t broken, not a single bottle. Tyler crouched beside me then helped me. “Emily,” he called softly, placing a hand gently on my shoulder.He looked at me worriedly , then at my arm. “Come on,” he said. “We should check it out.”“Tyler…It’s fine.” I told him softly.“Emily, he bumped into you so hard. We should just check if the wound —” TI cut him off softly, shaking my head. “I’m fine,” I said.His eyes darkened with worry. “I swear, if I catch that person, I would—”I reached up and placed my hand on his nose, pinching it lightly. “You worry too much. Let’s just get to the doctor, okay?”His eyes widened in surprise at my reaction, and then slowly, he lifted his hand to rest over mine, which was still on his nose. He chuckled softly softly. “You’re something else, hm?”I smiled softly,

Emily's POV It had been three days since the entire incident. I was making my way back to my bedroom after giving Skylar her medication and making sure she was calm.As I stepped into the room, a hundred thoughts swirled through my mind. We still didn’t know who was responsible for the whole situation. Part of me wanted to believe Simone, but I really didn’t know what to do. Simone had been restricted from doing her work, stuck in her room. They didn’t want to involve the police yet; we wanted to figure things out on their own first.Tyler was on the bed, working quietly on his laptop. I paused, watching him for a moment. “Emily,” he called softly.“Your eyes,” he said quietly. “You have dark circles under them, Emily.”Right. I hadn’t slept properly for the past three days. Stress had kept me awake, and I’d spent three nights with Skylar because she hadn’t been able to sleep. I let out a slow sigh. “She’s calm,” I whispered to him. “She just took her medication…”Tyler looked at
