All Chapters of My Billionaire Husband Refuses to Let Me Go: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Noah couldn't believe it. What the hell was Emma doing here?Tonight was one of the happiest he's ever been in a very long time. When he received a text from an unknown number claiming to be Veronica and that she was back in the country, he had refused to believe it.The last time he heard from Veronica was years ago when she broke up with him after he'd asked her to elope with him so he could escape his arranged marriage. She had left the country the very next day, breaking his heart and turning him into a cold, resentful shell of a man. But tonight, seeing her face again, it felt like a dream come true. He felt alive for the first time in years. He was finally happy, sitting with his arms wrapped around her, surrounding themselves with their mutual friends.Until Emma ruined it."Emma," he called, caught so off guard he forgot to hide behind the carefully constructed walls of his usual cold indifference, and for a second his frustration hitched as he took in his wife.She was beaut

Noah could feel just how stiff Emma was in his arms, her body practically stone beneath his hands. Even though he had deliberately pulled her against his chest to present a united front to those irritating women, the total lack of yielding in her posture made a strange, defensive prickle of irritation flare in his gut.Usually, whenever he deigned to touch her in public, she would lean into him with a quiet, grateful compliance, eager to play the role of the cherished wife. Now, she felt like an icy statue, completely detached from his presence.Aunt Patricia's mouth dropped open, her smug expression freezing into a look of sheer terror as she stared at the CEO who had materialized out of nowhere. What the hell, she thought, could she have been mistaken about the affair?She had thought this was finally the moment to put her cousin and her daughter in their place finally. They never should've risen beyond their status as the lowly branch family they were, they didn't deserve the prest

Noah stood frozen in disbelief as he heard the front door click shut. It had all happened too fast, and it was completely out of character for Emma. He stared down at his hand, only just realizing he was still gripping the papers she had held out to him.He pushed past the unexplainable tightness in his chest and walked over to the tall floor-to-ceiling windows to watch her figure walk down the long driveway to her little car. It wasn't any of the ones he had gotten her over the years. But the modest hatchback she'd bought with her own money before they married.She was carrying only a single, small suitcase. The sight of it made a sharp, mocking laugh escape his lips. Did she honestly expect him to believe that was all her luggage? Three years of marriage, three years of a luxury lifestyle, and the only thing she was walking out with was a carry-on and a beat-up vehicle?This was obviously a stunt. There was no way she could be serious. She was just throwing a tantrum. The scandal mu

Noah walked into the grand drawing room in the main estate, his jaw set into a hard line as he forced his breathing to remain steady. It's been three days since Emma pulled that stunt and disappeared on him. And though he was able to find out that she had gone to see his grandmother on that day, he hadn't been able to trace her whereabouts ever since. And though it annoyed him to admit, he was extremely worried about her. Despite being uncharacteristic of him, he'd called her more than 30 times, and each one went straight to voicemail. He was furious, both at Emma and at the way he was reacting to all of this. Three days. Just three days, and everything had gone awry. Emma didn't do things like this. She was supposed to be the steady, quiet presence in his life, the one who was always there. Someone easy to disregard and completely uncomplicated. For her to just vanish after their argument was an unexpected shock to his system. Had he somehow in those three years together begin

Emma took a slow, grounding breath as the heavy double doors began to open.She had spent the last three days since her meeting with Eleanor preparing herself for this very moment.After the meeting, she had gotten a cab to an unassuming Motel and booked a room, knowing she was more likely to escape Noah’s radar than if she lodged into an expensive hotel. It shocked her a little, how much Noah had called her. She didn’t think he would even notice her absence. But still, it wasn’t good enough to thaw her heart. She wanted nothing to do with him, and quite frankly she was also a little embarrassed about how things had went down.She was still incredibly pissed about his cheating and whatever was probably still going on with Veronica, but she shouldn’t have even revealed her feelings to him, because no matter what his answer was to her confession, it wouldn’t have changed the fact that he cheated on her. She couldn’t believe she’d said those precious words to him. To a man who had spen
