All Chapters of Divorced By One Billionaire, Claimed By Another: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

When he pulled the chair out, I sat down grumpily but quietly. “You asked me to come here for a specific purpose and it’s the only reason here. I don’t care for any of your games, just the truth” I told him quickly before he could say anything else.He raised his brows, an expression of surprise washing over his face but quickly disappearing, “That sounds like the Emma I know, not the one that needed a man to come save her” he said in reference to Aaron coming to my aid that day.Despite the strong urge to tell him that Aaron did anything a man would, I decided not to fall into the trap. I wasn’t there to exchange mere words, “I’ve told you Alexander, I’m not here to exchange silly words. You called me here for a reason. What is this truth you suddenly want to tell me?”He leaned back, rubbing his jaw and observing me. I shifted uncomfortably under his gaze when previously it would excite me, my hands tightened on my bag, “Or is there nothing to tell me? Another guise to get me alone”

Emma’s POV I stared at the closed door, my mouth open with surprise. His words rang in my ear and a part of me didn’t want to believe it but it rang repeatedly. “He’s fucking blaming me” I whispered more to myself than any one else. The first thing I had done was run the red lights when the message reached me, it was lucky that I hadn't been stopped or issued a ticket and now this. “What the hell” I said like my words would change anything. Except it shouldn’t have been surprising, it was his daughter after all, maybe I would have felt the same. My hands gripped the handle, battling the decision in my mind. I desperately wanted to go in but then I didn’t want to create a scene in front of her. I leaned on the wall, deciding I would wait for him to come out before confronting him. It didn’t matter to me what he had said before, it was all in anger. Just then I heard footsteps, I stood up straight when he came into sight, the older man, MR. Blake walked in with the cane in his hand

Aaron’s POV My uncle’s words continued to play in my head. He wasn’t wrong after all, I had seen a play exactly like this one play before and it had resulted in her death. When I looked at Lily, my chest tugged lightly at the thought of her gone. There would be nothing to live for if she died. My jaw hardened the longer I thought about it. No, this time I would make sure I got to the bottom of it. If it was him or someone else, a threat that waited in the shadows, I didn’t care what, I wouldn’t let it affect Lily’s life. My hands reached for my phone, ready to call my investigator. When I stood up, Lily spoke up, “Where are you going daddy? Are you leaving me here?” her soft voice tugged at my heart strings and I went closer to her. When I leaned down to kiss her head, the familiar flowery scent was gone, now replaced with the anti septic smell of the hospital. It reminded me she was laying here because of someone and anger started to pump in my veins, I pushed it down, “No dar

Author’s POVEmma held the phone tight in her hand due to the fear that pushed through her, causing her to nearly let it go. She turned around slowly, using the time to catch her breath and push the fear away. She didn’t meet his eyes but Aaron fought to meet them, his brows were furrowed in confusion, “Tell me, did something happen? Something I should know because then I want to know..” he trailed off.Emma forced a smile on her face, pushing away the nervousness that wrecked her, “There’s nothing, I was just talking about work, something I need to deal with or else I might lose a few investors” she said the lie so smoothly she even believed it for a moment but she knew the truth.His eyes were dark and unbelieving but Aaron decided not to argue with her, he already had so much more on his plate. Maybe it wasn’t anything important and he would let her come to him if it was. “Alright then, if you say so. I just wanted to come tell you that I’ll be out for about an hour, you will stay

I stared at the phone in half surprise because what had I really expected? Of course it wasn’t going to be the same ,a few years had already gone by. I went back to her resignation letter to see that she had resigned about five years ago. “There goes that” but I wasn’t going to give up, she had an address and I got up from where I was seated to go look for her.Just as I reached the bottom of the stairs, his voice reached me, “Where are you off to? The hospital, we can go together” he came from his office, tucking the keys into his pocket, all ready to go.The words left my mouth before I could stop them so they sounded rude, “Don’t worry about it, I’m not going straight to the hospital, I can meet you there” I prayed silently that he didn’t ask me where I was going to.And of course that prayer wasn’t answered either, “Where are you off to then? Do you have work?”Even though it wasn’t fully the truth, it wasn’t exactly a lie, “Yes, I just need to do something quickly, I wont be spen
