Emily’s Dilemma: Seduced by Billionaire Brothers

Emily stood confused, phone still in hand and panic wires going off in her brains as she recalled the one sided conversation she just encountered. Her hand vibrates as she stared at her phone, the blankness of it screaming back at her.

She knew if she called back the line would be disconnected but she tried anyways, and dial tone rang back in her ears the three times she tried. She felt frantic, curious and tired. The sudden theatrics of her life amazed her and suddenly she missed the simplicity, the quietness.

“Are you okay?” Ethan walked past her into the house, noticing a worried look on her face and she forced a smile walking further into the house alongside with Ethan. She wasn’t sure she could tell him about the strange phone calls she’d been getting, she didn’t think she could trust him yet especially when he couldn’t protect her against his ex girlfriend, so she forced a smile instead.

“It’s been a long day” she said and he looked at her now, really looked her and cupping her face in his hands. She tried not to get lost in his eyes but they drilled so much into hers she couldn’t help but stare, the intensity unwavering but still she couldn’t fold, the butterflies weren’t there, not like when they were when she was with Jackson.

“I’m really sorry” he apologized “Today should’ve been a happy day for you not you getting kidnapped at your own wedding. For some reason my past is catching up with me and I really don’t want it to affect you. I promise I’ll protect you at all cost Emily”

Emily smiled “This has been the most drama I’ve had in my life and its not like we’re in love so you really don’t have to apologize” she said and Ethan’s face faltered, her constant reminder of their loveless marriage, but yet he couldn’t deny the attraction he felt towards her. It was a mixed feelings that tugged at his chest, it was a constant struggle he tried to ignore, not when there was Jackson who effortlessly tried to sweep her of her feet. He could never have Jackson’s charm.

“Ouch!” Ethan gripped his chest in fake pain while Emily narrowed her eyes at him, a small smile playing at the corner of her lips. Then she turned around, taking in the sight of his pent house in awe.

“You have a really beautiful house” she said to him

“I’m hardly ever here, it gets lonely sometimes” Ethan said.

Emily nodded, looking around. The living space was large, bathed in bright white lights that could be softened with a touch or with a command, sumptuous velvet sofas with golden chandeliers hanging from the ceiling complimenting the white lights that brightened the room.

“Let me show you inside?” He held his hands out for her and she took with a smile.

“You have a really beautiful smile Emily. Have I told you before ” he said to her and yet again, she smiled, nodding her head shyly. She couldn’t recall if he had given her that compliment but she wasn’t about to push it.

“So where’s my room?” She asked him instead

“Your room?” Ethan looked at her with raised brows

“Your room is my room, we’re married”

“Yes if we’re loverbirds but this is strictly business Ethan, I married you to get your inheritance back”

“Fine fine” Ethan surrendered, not wanting to rile her up again after everything she’s been through that day. He was hoping to at least charm his way through her heart and they could eventually sleep together on the same bed.

“You can have my bed room, I’ll take the guest room with time I hope you’ll want me to stay with you in there”

She was about to say something when a phone call from Ethan interrupted and he nodded ahead for her and he walked away into the guest room.

Ethan walked into the guest room, the name Anita still sprawled out boldly on his screen, he sighed deeply before pushing the green button

“Anita” he breathed into phone, purposely sounding exhausted. He was indeed exhausted.

“Leave her” she said simply

“I can’t do that” he said to her “You tried to kidnap her, are you crazy?”

“Yes Ethan, I’m crazy. I’m crazy for you. You proposed to me first” her high pitched voice sounded in his ears, the memories of her definite eyes saying no to him when he asked her to marry him began to flood his brain, the rejection, the heart ache it caused mostly because she was pushing him further away from his contracts set a certain I anger to his soul.

“You said no…..” he wanted to say but her voice cut in

“Because I wanted you try harder Ethan. I wanted you to fight for me, to fight for what we had and now you’re doing it all for someone else. How am I supposed to feel about that? Do you even love her?”

“It doesn’t matter”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“It does to me Ethan, leave her or I’ll convince my father to pull his shares out of Hatton company and you know what that is going to cost you”

“Anita…..” he wanted to say but she wasn’t done talking.

“Also, I’m sure you don’t want to anyone to know what happened in Cancun last year”

“You wouldn’t dare Anita” Ethan warned, his pulse

quickening.

“Try me and see” she warned “Leave her, I’m giving you two weeks”

There was silence on the phone.

“Or I might just make it two bodies, how would you like that”

“Tit for Tat” she laughed before the line disconnected

“Fuck!” Ethan yelled, throwing his phone against the wall and watching it fall the floor, spider web cracks developing on the screen.

He needed to do something, he needed to do something about Anita and he needed to do it fast before she ruined his life.
