JULIAN'S POV

If there was one thing I have learned over the years leading a company, it is that “numbers never lie.”

And right now, they stared back at me from across the room. Our revenue is declining, we had withdrawn investments from every angle, and contracts to be signed were slipping out of our grasp faster than we could grasp another.

It was alarming and, to some extent, scary. I haven't been this worried about anything in a while.

    Julian’s POV“No, this isn’t right. “What’s going on with him?” I asked loudly as I watched the medics Theodore on a stretcher and was about to wheel him out of the room.“What the hell just happened right now?” I asked, still in a state of disbelief. Nobody bothered to answer me and all I could hear was the wheels of the stretcher scraping loudly on the floor with medical team all surrounding him shouting out different instructions I couldn’t even understand.“Move”. “Go make sure the hallway is clear”. “He’s in cardiac arrest, we’re losing him”, I heard them scream and all I could do was stand there frozen in place watching as they ran around.I couldn’t stand there without moving any longer. I turned and ran after them.“Theodore, just gave me a sign”, I said loudly but he didn’t even twitch and nobody looked in my direction.They were all focused on saving his life. A medic was already starting to administer cpr as we moved down the hallway heading to the emergency room.The med

    Julian’s POVMy mind refused to slow down as I drove to the police station. The detective’s words kept repeating inside my head. For weeks we had been searching for answers.Every clue led to another question and even truth seemed to uncover another lie and now he was finally ready to speak.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel. This was the breakthrough we had all been expecting. But something didn’t feel quite right.Why had he suddenly changed his mind? A man who had fought so hard to protect his secrets, he couldn’t just wake up and decide to confess all of a sudden.Something must have changed his mind and frightened him. I just hoped it wasn’t too late. Emilia’s image flashed through my mind. I could see the tears on his face and the hopelessness in her expression and the way she looked at me right before I left.I had promised her that I would fix things for her and I intended to keep that promise to her.I parked outside the police station and hurried into the house. The

  • NEGLECTED WIFE BECAME THE MOST WANTED    Chapter 177

    Julian’s POVI had never driven so fast and carelessly in my life before. The moment I saw the news alert on my phone, my heart dropped into my stomach.Every television channel was showing the same clip. Emilia standing behind the podium. Her hands were shaking and her voice broke as she spoke.Seconds later, I watched as she ran away from the room with tears streaming down her face.The clip replayed many times and it felt like a knife was being twisted in my chest.She should never have been put though something like that. She had survived being kidnapped and the weeks of fear and nightmares no one should never even experience.And now the the world wanted her to relieve that moment again just for their satisfaction.It made me sick.Immediately I got to the venue, the security recognized me and let me in instantly.I walked into the building and immediately I sighted her. She was sitting on the floor, her knees pulled tightly against her chest. Her face buried in her hands and her

    Emilia’s POV“I don’t think I’m ready for this yet”, I whispered softly as I stared at my reflection in the dressing room mirror.My pr manager stood behind me holding a folder I was supposed to read. Two members of my security team waited outside.Everyone looked extremely nervous and I couldn’t even blame them. This wasn’t just a press conference. I was expected to relieve the worst days of my life in front of a lot of people.“I know today is very difficult for you but the public has been waiting for your statement”, my pr manager said softly.“But I already gave one to the police”, I said, lowering my head.But I knew this one was different, This wasn’t about the investigation anymore but about satisfying public curiosity.A lot of people wanted details and wanted to hear the story from me and unfortunately it had to come from me.“We’ll just keep it short”, my pr manger said as she handed me the statement.I looked down at the page. It was just a few paragraphs with dates. It als

    JULIAN'S POV“It's obvious that this man isn't going to tell us anything; let's just let him be and go home for now. By the time he suffers in pay, he will be left with no reason but to call us back,” I said. “I don't think you know that there is a poison in that knife she used in stabbing you. The poison will work slowly, but if you speak now, there would still be time for you to live,” Gifford said. Theodore laughed. “I know you're saying this just to scare me.”“You won't believe it until it's too late,” Gifford responded. “Let's just leave; I don't think I have any space to banter words with him again,” Emilia added. “By the time we realize what is going on, your life would have been miserable, and you would be already wishing for death. There is still lots of time for you to come back, but you are still playing doubles. I just pity how your future would be,” I said and immediately left with Emilia and Gifford. “I will catch up with you guys,” I muttered. I went to the guard

    EMILIA'S POV“It's about time you stop all this drama, okay? The more you struggle, the worse your wound becomes. I understand you really need to avoid this, but you are stuck with nowhere, and you aren't going to go off it despite how hard you try. There is no way out. The earlier you know it, the better for you,” Gifford said, referring to Theodore. “You are making things hard for me. How do you expect me to talk in this pain? I'm going through hell now,” Theodore shouted. “Now you are the one pleading for mercy, right? But I was the one begging you several times, but you couldn't even give me a listening ear. Numerous times I pleaded with you, but you ignored me and still continued maltreating me despite all the relationship we shared together,” I told, feeling emotional. “I understand why you were doing all of this to yourself, and I know that you really need your help. Why don't you ask for it, and it should be rendered freely to you?” Gifford said? “Yes, I need help, and the

    UNKNOWN PERSON’S POV“What do you even mean by that?” Cassandra lamented, mumbling a few curse words under her breath. “You cannot continue to do things recklessly without at least informing me first. What you did was insane.”“I know my moves quite well, they just somehow happened to know that I w

    EMILIA’S POVThe last thing I expected, was for Julian to barge into the meeting he was supposed to be present for, and just….hug me. He hugged me.

    JULIAN'S POVI excused myself from Emilia’s office without giving her any response. She was already dealing with a lot. I don’t want to add to that. I signed out of the office and drove myself straight to Jasper’s apartment. He had arrived two days back and was already working closely with some of
