Alexanders grip on her waist tightened , his own release spiraling higher as he lost himself to the feeling of being inside her .

You feel so fucking good , he growled , straining his voice .

Ill never let you go again .

Screaming his name , her body convulsed around him , waves of pleasure making her trembles .

Alexander followed moments later , his release hit him with such a force that left him out of breath as he buried himself deep inside her .

His animalistic growls began turning to soft whispers of her name while he held her close .

They stayed like that for a moment , their bodies intertwined and trembling as they came down from the high .

Alexander pressed soft kisses along her shoulder , his hands gentle now as they caressed her skin .

Youre mine , Emma , he whispered again , his voice filled with both love and determination .

Now and forever .

Emma closed her eyes , her heart welling up with emotion .

For the very first time in years , she felt complete .

And in Alexanders arms , she knew she had finally found her home again .

Once their breathing steadied and their senses returned , they hurriedly put their clothes back on .

The air between them was charged not just with passion that they had just shared but a promise , an spoken promise of beginnings .

And then Alexander took her hand , his fingers intertwined in Emmas without a second thought about the people inside the hall as he stepped right into the grand hall once more .

Now , for the first time in her life , Emma was free as a bird let out of its cage .

For the first time in years , she neednt hide her emotions anymore .

She stood tall , her hand firmly in Alexanders , her heart soaring with a sense of liberation and joy she hadnt experienced in what felt like a lifetime .

She could feel the eyes of the room on them , the murmur of curious voices , but none of it mattered , Alexander was at her side , and for once she wasnt walking this path alone .

As they moved through the crowd , Emma found herself reliving the words Alexander had whispered to her in the throes of their passion .

The sincerity in his voice , the way his touch had felt like a balm to her wounded soul , it all came rushing back A gentle glowing smile appeared on her face as if her heart couldnt keep the happiness inside .

Alexanders head cocked in her direction , his features warm and protective .

He gave her hand a squeeze , wordless reassurance that he wasnt going anywhere .

As they entered deeper into the hall , the crowd parted for them , the energy in the room shifting as whispers filled the air .

Some faces reflected shock , others curiosity , and a few even held disdain .

But Emma didnt care .

For the first time in her life , she wasnt living to please anyone .

They were soon separated from each other a while later by a wave of guests wanting to speak with them .

Alexander was pulled aside by a group of investors , while Emma began attending to some just arrived guests attending the event .

The physical separation between them did not make either feel part .

Alexander kept his gaze drifting back to Emma , his lips curling into a faint smile every time their eyes met across the room .

But now , with his love laid bare and his actions speaking louder than words , she felt a sense of belonging she hadnt known in years .

Whatever lay ahead , she knew they could face it together .

As she turned away from one of her guests , she heard it , soft , sharp , and unmistakable .

Nice try , Emma .

She froze .

That voice .

She hated that voice with all her might .

Emma turned slowly , her expression composed , trying to project either innocence or confusion , anything but the wave of anger bubbling inside her And there she was , Annie .

Her face mask barely concealing the venom in her glare ; every feature twisted with fury .

Even with how elegant her gown was , the energy radiating off her was toxic .

I dont have time for this , Emma said , trying to walk past her , her heart pounding and her hands clenched at her sides .

But you have time for my man , Annie hissed , her voice trembling with sarcasm and barely contained rage .

Emma stopped mid step , her heart racing .

She slowly turned back to Annie , her face unreadable , though for a fleeting instant , there was shock in her eyes .

Annies words cut , yet Emma knew better than to show it .

He was never yours , Emma said quietly but firmly , her tone felt like dagger wrapped in silk .

Annie snorted , her lips curled in disdain .

Because he fucked you once , you think hes yours now ? her voice cracked then , the scene she had watched just an hour ago burning like wildfire in her mind , refusing to let go .

A humorless smile curled Emmas lips .

She took another step closer , her calm voice hiding the tempest raged inside , He has been mine from day one , Annie .

We were betrothed long before you were in the picture .

Annies nostrils fumed .

And yet , despite your precious betrothal he divorced you for me .

He chose me , Emma .

Do you know what that feels like ? To be the chosen one ? I doubt it .

Her veins became visible , pulsating fast as anger coursed through them .

그녀 Emma took two steps closer , and whispered in a dangerous tone Do you know why he chose you ? she cut in , the coldness in her voice cutting through Annies anger as effectively as a knife .

Because he doesnt know you , which isnt altogether surprising since youre such a liar and a bitch .

How do you think he would feel if I told him all about your little stunt five years ago ? How you tried to have me killed ? Or how about your fake fiancé that you paraded around ? Emmas eyes darkened and her voice came out sharp enough to shed blood .

Youre nothing but a liar .

A snake .

A whore .

The words hit Annie like a slap across the face , and she flinched .

For the first time , her poise cracked , and her eyes flickered with fear .
