On their second-year wedding anniversary, Emily stood before her husband clutching a positive pregnancy test. But her world shattered when Alexander Stratton, the cold-blooded billionaire whose heart seemed impenetrable, uttered the words that would change everything: 'I want a divorce.' In the aftermath of Alex's callous declaration, Emily vanished from his life without a trace. Yet, unexpectedly, Alex's heart stirred with a newfound urgency to find her, his once-dismissive attitude replaced by an insatiable quest to locate the woman he had unknowingly driven away. Months turned into a relentless pursuit. Then, one fateful day, amidst the bustling city streets, Alex's determined search led him to a heart-stopping encounter: Emily, with a child at her side. 'Whose child is this?' Alex's voice reverberated with a mixture of disbelief and longing as he confronted the unexpected sight before him...
The knock on the door reverberated through the room like a sudden clap of thunder. Emily instinctively pushed Alex away. Just then, the door swung open, revealing Ed, who stood there looking helpless in front of Olivia Winters, who was followed by Eric Glorden and Michael McCallen.
"Sorry, Mr. Stratton, I tried to stop them," Ed said apologetically.
Olivia, in a tight black dress, over-the-knee black boots, and a white tweed jacket, froze at the sight of Alex and Emily together. Alex instructed Ed to leave and close the door behind him. The tension in the office was palpable as the five of them stood there in silence.
Eric was the first to break the silence. "Alex, you've been avoiding Olivia's calls. We were all worried, so we came to check on you." He then shifted his gaze towards Emily. "Emily, when did you come back?"
Just as Emily was about to reply, Alex interjected in an icy tone, "None of your business."
