The Billonaire's Unwilling Bride

Chapter 15

To say Caden was surprised by Emily's presence was an understatement.

"Emily?" He called softly, but Emily was fighting a war within her.

She is currently witnessing her husband cheating on her.

Who is this lady, and why is she sitting on Caden's lap like they were a married couple?

"Who is this Cade?" The lady asked with a confused expression as she stared at Emily.

"Get up Lia," Caden ordered her, but Lia pouted.

"Are you telling me to stand up because of this woman? Isn't she your secretary or something?" Lia complained.

"I'm his wife, and I suggest you get you àss off my husband this instant." Emily didn't even know when the words rolled out of her mouth.

Her gaze was burning with anger as she stared at Lia and Caden.

"Who do you think you're talking to?" Lia retorted with a frown.

"I don't give a shît who you are." Emily walked towards them and pulled Lia from Caden.

Lia stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Emily," Caden said as he got up from his chair.

"I can't believe you let her sit on your lap like that, I thought you said you won't cheat on me!" Emily yelled at Caden, who looked amused.

The entire situation was amusing to him.

"I didn't cheat on you, Lia is a friend," Caden explained.

"A friend that sits on your lap? I doubt it. " Emily rolled her eyes.

"Caden, how could you let her treat me like this?" Lia complained as she got up from the floor.

Her eyes were watering like she was about to cry.

"If you wanna cry, do it outside," Emily snapped.

She didn't buy this attitude Lia was portraying. She looked pretentious.

"I would talk to you later, Lia, leave," Caden said since Lia wasn't leaving.

Lia bit the inner walls of her mouth hard before walking out of the office.

"I would prefer it if you don't talk to her again," Emily frowned, and Caden dragged her by the waist to himself, making Emily gasp.

"Your jealousy is cute." Caden smirked and waved off heat rushed through her body.

"I'm not jealous. Which wife would want to see her husband cheating on her?" Emily said defensively.

"I still think it's cute and I didn't cheat on you, I would never, you came in immediately she sat on me" Caden replied, their faces inches apart and Emily's throat ran dry because her body was literally pressed against his.

"Your body is warm. Are you having a fever?" Emily asked hurriedly.

Her hand flew to his forehead to check his temperature.

"You're burning up, Caden!" Emily exclaimed.

"I am?" Caden touched his head.

"I can't believe you're still working in this condition, I'm taking you home right now!" Emily declared and dragged Caden out of his office.

{PENTHOUSE}

A beautiful, well decorated, and furnished penthouse belonged to Lia. It was one of the properties her mother owned, so it belonged to her too.

She was staying here years ago before she went to London and now that she's back in New York, it's only natural she returned to the house.

"Urghhhhh that stupid bitçh, who does she think she is!" Lia yelled like a maniac. Her eyes were red with anger.

If she should burn Emily, then she definitely would.

"Wife my àss! If not because of mom, I would have married Caden, " she screamed.

A maid stood in front of her with her eyes on the floor like it was the most beautiful thing she had ever laid her eyes on.

"Where's the report on the bitçh?" She asked the lady who finally looked up to her and handed her a file.

Lia took it from her roughly and scanned through it.

"A journalist? Stone family? How ridiculous, her family can't even raise a finger to the Kingstons. why would Caden marry someone like that?" Lia scoffed.

Lia's mom had made sure she cut her off from everything happening in New York, especially news about Caden.

Her mother knew how much she was obsessed with Caden, and that's one of the reasons why she asked her to leave New York.

"I would have to deal with this bitçh" Lia said and got up from the couch.

She walked upstairs and entered her bedroom.

Nothing has changed. It was still the same, exactly the way she left it years ago.

Lia smiled as she walked towards her walk-in closet. When she entered, she didn't waste time and went to the wardrobe.

She threw all the clothes in the wardrobe to the floor, and a huge smile curled up her lips.

The wall of the wardrobe was filled with different pictures of Caden.

Lia ran her hands through the pictures and giggled.

{NEXT DAY~HOSPITAL}

George walked into the building and through the numerous nurses.

He pushed the door to the VIP ward open, and his eyes met with a sick, pale old man who had different tubes and machines attached to him.

"Hey dad," George breathed, and he walked towards the bad.

His gaze was devoid of emotions as he stared at the frail man who was barely keeping his eyes open.

"You...you came" Calvin let out a weak smile.

George didn't think his father's condition was this severe. He made it his mission not to know anything about the man.

"I don't have all day," George said impatiently.

People may think he was rude and ungrateful with the way he spoke with his father, but this man deserved every bit of it.

"Still carrying that hatred with you? You need to learn to let go, I was also a victim, " Calvin replied.

"I tried, I tried so hard to understand you, to feel sorry for you but I just couldn't, mom may have kîlled herself but you pushed her to it" George gritted his teeth, his vision turning red.

"She cheated on me, and just because I deprived her of some privileges, she thought it was wise to commit sûcide?" Calvin complained weakly.

"That wasn't one of her best decisions. Cheating is inexcusable, but you were never around. She was lonely," George defended and ran his hands through his hair. "You confined her for months after that, I wasn't even allowed to see her. It's only normal she killed herself because she couldn't take it anymore," George fired.

"I didn't call you here to argue with you. You're my son, and as you can see, I am dying," Calvin coughed. "I'm handing everything to you. Even though you want nothing to do with me, just make sure the Finn name doesn't fall to the ground," Calvin pleaded.

"You only ever care about your reputation and company, I never expected you to feel sorry for mom but I would be lying if I said I never had hope" George replied and walked out of the room.

He shut the door behind him and to him deep breaths.

He needs to get his shît together because Caden won't be able to go to the office today, so he has to go.

"Good morning," a nurse greeted as she walked past him. “The doctor who takes care of your father has been transferred. A new doctor would be assigned to him soon” the nurse informed, and he simply nodded before walking out of the hospital.

He entered his car and turned on his phone. The message from yesterday was still there.

Unknown number: I have a piece of information that you would be interested in.

Even though he answered, the person hasn't texted back yet.

He had tried tracing the number, but it led to a burner phone.

He decided to forget about it, he had other problems to deal with.

{AUSTRALIA~PENTHOUSE}

Madison sat on the couch with her phone in one hand while she ate chips with the other hand.

She was scrolling through the gossip site as usual. She really missed working as a journalist, and she definitely couldn't wait to get back to New York.

Her phone rang, and she flinched when she saw the caller ID.

It was her brother, Ambrose.

Did he see the news about her and Nathan?

Is that why he is calling?

But why hasn't he called till now?

She let the phone ring till it stopped and she sighed in relief, then it started again.

"Damnit," she muttered before accepting the call.

"What do you want?" Madison snapped.

"I am at your place. Why aren't you at home? Your neighbors said you've been gone for almost a month now. Did you relocate or something?" Ambrose barked.

"I didn't, I traveled for work," Madison lied, hoping he hasn't seen the tabloids.

"Okay, good, I need cash. You can just send it to me, same account as always," Ambrose replied, and Madison stopped herself from scoffing.

This jackàss!!

"I don't have money to give you, I'm barely managing, I can't give you money every time!" Madison complained.

"If you don't have money, then ask that rich boyfriend of yours," Ambrose yelled, and Madison heart dropped to her stomach. "You think I didn't see the news, it was all over the Internet, I am happy for you, I was hoping you wouldn't refuse me since you're dating some rich dude but I guess not" Ambrose scoffed.

"I can't just ask him for money, Ambrose. It doesn't work like that," Madison tried to explain.

"Then get me cash whatever way you can or else I would tear you apartment apart, you know what I am capable of Maddy." Ambrose threatened and hung up, leaving Madison shaking.

"Who was that?" Madison heard Nathan's voice behind her, and she turned sharply to see him standing behind her.

His hands were inside his pants pocket, and he had a frown on his face.
