All Chapters of After the Divorce, I Became Untouchable : Chapter 21 - Chapter 28

***Emma POV***A cry from Rachael got Daniel rushing to her side in an instant and catching her just before she collapsed on the floor.I watched helplessly as he gently parted her hair, searching for the wound. His face darkened when he found the jagged cuts on her scalp."What did you do to her?" His voice was ice cold."Daniel, didn't you hear what I said?" Rachael clutched his shirt with trembling fingers, playing the victim perfectly. “She hit me with a flower pot.”“That’s not true!” I shouted. “Daniel, please listen. I overheard her on the phone with..”"I was talking to my friend about our engagement,” Rachael interrupted, tears glistening in her eyes. “She must have overheard and lost her mind. She attacked me with the flower pot.”“No! That’s not what happened. Daniel, she—” The words caught in my throat. I could see the verdict in his eyes, he had chosen believed her instead.“Enough!” Daniel’s roar silenced us both.He rose with Rachael cradled carefully in his arms, her

A mixture of anger and fear surged through me, I turned back to the door and pounded on it with everything I had left."Is anyone there? Let me out?" I continued banging on the door till my strength gave out and I curled up on the cold floor. Every bruise on my body had reopened, sticky blood seeping through my clothes. My left leg throbbed mercilessly with each heartbeat.The pain was too much to bear coupled with the fact that my throat was parched and I was feeling extremely thirsty. "Please... let me out."I whispered hoarsely. A lone tear slipped down my cheek.Rachael had been right after all. Daniel hadn’t even given me a chance. He’d thrown me in here without a second thought.My hand drifted to my belly, and fresh tears welled up.“I’m so sorry, baby,” I choked out. “Mommy didn’t mean for any of this to happen. I’ll make it right. Just… please stay with me, okay?”I kept murmuring soft promises to my unborn child until exhaustion pulled me under.A sharp, stabbing pain in my

“What do you mean?” I whispered, my voice barely audible.“I mean, Daniel and Rachael are getting engaged today.” Susan rose to her full height, a cruel smile playing on her lips as she walked toward the door. “I figured no one would bother telling you, so I came to deliver the news myself.”"I don't care if they're getting engaged." I pleaded in desperation. "Just let me go." "Not yet. You haven’t paid for what you did.” With that, the door slammed shut, plunging me back into darkness.At this point, I couldn’t cry anymore, my tears had run dry days ago. All that remained was numbness and a crushing sense of helplessness. The only person who truly cared about me was somewhere in this mansion, suffering because of me—and I could do nothing about it.My gaze fell on the crushed phone. I picked up the shattered pieces, turning them over in my hands. Even if Roland came, how could he possibly slip past the dozens of guards patrolling the mansion?I curled up on the makeshift bed and sta

***Emma’s POV***The backyard had been transformed into a breathtaking wonderland. Elegant floral arrangements, crystal chandeliers, and luxurious décor screamed wealth and meticulous planning. Daniel had spared no expense for Rachael. My chest tightened as I glanced toward the stage, where the ring exchange was about to begin.I looked away quickly, scanning for the perfect distraction. Right on cue, another maid thrust a tray of champagne flutes into my hands and pointed toward a nearby table. Seizing the opportunity, I took the tray and moved through the crowd. A second maid was approaching, her eyes glued to the stage. I timed my step perfectly and collided with her. Drinks flew everywhere, glasses shattering on the ground in a loud crash. The guests who were splashed shrieked in outrage.The commotion drew immediate attention. Guards swarmed toward us. From the corner of my eye, I saw Roland slip through the chaos, Mrs. Wilson safely in his arms. A wave of relief washed over me
