All Chapters of Divorced By One Billionaire, Claimed By Another: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Emma's POV My screen lit up with a message and my eyes widened with shock at it. Ms. Carter, I would like to talk to you about an investment, one that would interest you since it's in your very own company. I opened my mouth, a sound of shock slipping out. The name with the message was familiar, one of the ones I never thought I would ever speak to. Mr. Jamal, he was one of the richest businessmen, very high up in the ranks of Aaron. A few more similar messages popped up as well as the familiar ping on my laptop. All of it was happening too much but the message was received. Stocks have gone up five percent. It amazed me and I was speechless because only a few moments everything had already been crumbling around me. The news had started to spread that Aaron and I were fake, that I was pretentious and all sorts of lies. A few investors had texted their doubts but then suddenly this? “What's happening?" This time Rose had the answer, “Ma'am, look at the news" His familiar voice

The woman looked at me, her eyes were blue and somehow a part of me was grateful that Lily hadn't inherited it. There was something about her color, an unsettling anger and hate in it. “do you think this bitch can replace her actual mother? I had her inside me for nine months Aaron! I held her in my arms for nearly two years. There's no fucking way this slut can do shit compared to me" she shouted even louder. I cringed back, stumbling back because for a second it looked like she would strike and hit me. Aaron was on his feet almost immediately, using his bigger body to shield me. That was when I heard a whimper beside me. I looked to see Lily. Her eyes were wide, the hands that held her food had opened and it sat on the mat in a mess. I didn't feel any anger, I only went closer to her, taking her in my arms. Even as we sat there, I heard the discussion behind me. "What the fuck do you think you're doing? Do you think bursting her date would do anything? You're fucking scari

Aaron’s POV Lily’s leg rested on mine while her head was on Emma’s. I couldn’t help the delight I felt at the sight. At least she was warming u to Emma for now. Even if it wasn’t forever. Her eyes were already starting to close from feeling sleepy. Emma noticed and met my gaze, “She needs to go to bed soon” she muttered. Lily must have heard us because she looked at me, her eyes wide open, “I want to sleep here daddy. don’t take me back to my room yet” she had those pleading eyes that she knew I couldn’t refuse. I sighed, “Alright I wont” I placed her legs so they weren't uncomfortable and turned back to the TV. Even as I tried to give it all my attention, I was very aware of Emma sitting not far from me. When I glanced down and my eyes fell on her thighs, I found myself wanting to keep staring. “Today was good” Emma finally spoke after being quiet for a while. I turned to look at her, glad for a chance to do so without looking weird. “It was and I’m glad you enjoyed it”

Court proceedings had gone as smoothly as they could although they didn’t last long. Just thirty minutes after walking in, the judge had adjourned the case to a further date that would be communicated.The day had gone by a little faster than I wanted it to and so when I parked my car to find Aaron’s already sitting in the garage, I found myself walking to his office. My legs walked briskly as if in hurry and the closer I got, the more my heart raced. I had a few more questions and it was the only reason I was going to see him.That was the lie I told myself, I refused to acknowledge it. “Come in” his deep husky voice answered from inside.I took a deep breath before turning the door handle and pushing the door open. Cool air hit my face as soon as the door opened and my eyes fell on him. He looked up at me, his gray eyes shining differently when our eyes met.“You’re back” he said.The door closed with a soft click as I walked further in, “It surprised me to find you back as well”

Emma’s POV I didn’t rise from where I had been seated, not even when I heard Aaron’s voice outside as he gave commands. I wasn’t done searching and my curiosity had heightened, I wanted to know about the late Victoria Blake. My hands typed on the keyboard, searching for all the companies she had been associated with.Of course the first one that came up was The Blake industries. She had been CEO of the Texas branch and so was an important part of the company. Pictures of her in events filled the screen as I scrolled. I paused when I saw one with Aaron to her left and the man that had visited Mr. Blake on her right. Her hands were in Aaron’s arms but there was something in her expression that I didn’t understand exactly. Frozen in time with wide eyes. There wasn’t anything important to see, no scandal so at least I knew Aaron hadn't been vexed because she had been careless with his company. She had been affiliated with many charity organizations especially for cancer and the disabl
