Chapter 98

After a while, Will went back to Grace, and she looked painful.
“How are you feeling?” Will sounded emotionless.
“Not too bad, I guess.” Grace pretended to have a hard time supporting herself sitting up a little bit.
Will didn’t help, he told her directly, “Go home.”
“I cannot go home now, I’m sick.” Grace felt wronged.
“Go! I’ll see you home.!” Will’s tone was serious, so serious that was even somewhat intimidating.
Will was cold, he ordered Grace like a stranger, and he didn’t even want to drive her home which made Grace worried.
Grace changed and went home immediately. While she was on the way home, she thought about what Will said to her, and she was afraid that Will already knew that she faked her pregnancy.

Grace got home. She opened the door, and saw Will was sitting there waiting for her.
It was weird, Will didn’t yell at her or saying anything loud, but Grace still felt that something was about to happen. Something big.
“You faked your pregnancy. How come I never see you’re such a devil.” Will was furious.
“I cannot believe you’ll do such thing, when did you become a person who will do such shabby tricks, what happened to that innocent girl I knew from my childhood.”
Grace still wanted to deny what Will accused her, “I didn’t, Will, I didn’t.”
Her tears were falling down, her face was still pretty, yet evil this time from where Will stood.
“I talked to the doctor, and he said you’ve never been pregnant for your entire life.”
Grace’s attitude changed suddenly, she told Will that she’s sorry, but Will didn’t let her continue.

“Grace, you and I were friends since we were five. I trusted you unconditionally for my entire life. But now I have to rethink what you are capable of. Speaking of that night you said I had sex with you, it just didn’t add up, I felt dizzy that night, I think I passed out eventually, nothing could’ve happened, did you drug me that night? Just to be Mrs Stewart and having a meal ticket for the rest of your life. How stupid I am to trust your words back then.”
Will was so angry; his fists clenched and punched the wall hard.
“And what did you do to Emma, I trusted you about saying her stealing from me and my family, but now I think I wronged her because of you. I am a fool to give you so much of credit for old times’ sake.”
Grace was speechless, she couldn’t stop crying, “I did it wrong, I apologize, but that’s only because I love you.”
Will told her ruthlessly, “I never want to see you ever again, and don’t think you can get a penny from me, I’ll leave you nothing. If you were only after me, I might still consider ending this marriage nicely, but you hurt Emma, the love of my life, I’ll never forgive you about what you did to her.”
“I’ll come back tomorrow; I want you to leave with all of your stuff out of here and never let me see you again.”
“Where will I go?” Grace yelled.
“I don’t give a fuck!” Will then stormed out, leaving Grace alone sobbing.

Will went to the bar alone, he blamed himself for what he did to Emma.
Some pretty women were coming up to Will, and started to flirt with him.
“Hey, why are you alone? Would you mind if we join you?”
A sexy woman wearing strapless dress touched Will’s thigh while talking to him, she was clearly interested in Will.
Will grabbed her hand on his thigh and told her, “GO! AWAY!”
Other sexy women were all left, they were whispering about Will, a handsome man drinking alone at the bar, obviously he had experienced some bad breakup.
Will called his secretary, “find Emma, quickly.”
Then grabbed another glass of whisky and drank out.

Next morning, Will’s phone rang, he reached his phone on the nightstand, he realized he was at his bedroom. He had no recollection of how did he come back home last night.
“Hello?”
“Mr Stewart, I contacted a private investigator and found Emma.”
“That was fast.” Will was surprised how efficient his secretary was.

“It was merely a coincidence. This private investigator was from a famous company, he was spying on Emma already, since he was hired by another person. When I told him about Emma Wells, he said he could give all the info about her immediately, but he wanted higher fees.”
“That won’t be a problem, text me her address now.”
Will hung up, he wondered who would that be to hire a private investigator to spy on Emma. But he didn't have time to think it through now, He just wanted to see Emma immediately.

Will went to the bathroom to take a quick shower.
He recalled his life with Emma, it was such a wonderful time. He regretted that he chose to believe Grace instead of Emma. Now he was going to see her, he was excited, and he was thinking about how to win her back this time.
Will grabbed a towel to dry off his body. He went to his bedroom and checked the new message he received from his secretary, it showed Emma’s new address was just nearby.

Then Alex called. “how do you feel, man? You’re so wasted last night.”
“I’ve been better. Did you drive me home?” Will asked. He felt relieved, now the problems are getting solved one by one, he felt his life was getting better now.
“Yeah, you called me, didn’t you remember? You’ve mumbled about Emma all night, and then you’ve even coming up on me trying to kiss me, I didn’t even know who you’re interested, me or Emma, anyway, I stopped you of course, because I love Sabrina, I won’t cheat on her with you.”
Will laughed, “oh, shut up. Thanks man, for last night. I gotta go, I’ve got Emma’s address just now, I’ll go to see her.”
Will hung up before Alex said anything. Will was excited, he swore to bring Emma back this time.
Will was driving to the apartment where Emma lived, he was waiting for her to show up.
He was thinking about what to say to her while waiting. Will got so nervous and thrilled.

Two hours later, Emma finally showed up, Will got off the car immediately.
He walked towards Emma with a smile on his face, he couldn’t wait to talk to Emma.
While he was close enough, he found Emma wasn’t alone.
She was pregnant and a man was walking with her. They seemed to have a good time; Emma looked so happy.
Will was surprised, he stopped as he didn’t know if he should move forward.
He reached his Marlboro in his pocket subconsciously, but he stopped as he realized Emma was pregnant.

Emma saw Will.
She felt numb, and her smile froze. She felt like her neck was grabbed by her destiny.
“It must’ve been the fucking hormone.” She mumbled.
Her mind suddenly went blank, until she found that Spencer was grasping Will by his collar.
Emma was shocked, she never saw Spencer like this.
“Spence, it’s not worth it.” Emma grabbed Spencer’s arm.

“After what you’ve done to Emma, how dare you to show up!” Spencer clenched his fists.
Emma bit her lip, and squeezed a smile on her face.
“Mr Stewart, long time no see.” Emma said.
Will said, “Emma, I div... ”
“Thank you.” Emma interrupted.
“Thank you for everything you’ve done to me. Before I know you, I was an innocent and vulnerable girl, now I am an architect.” Said Emma.
What doesn't kill me, makes me stronger. I can live by myself now. He’s just a rich douchebag I happened to know in the past. Emma told herself.
“Grace and I divorced.” Will chipped in.

Emma was shocked, but she didn’t want to reveal her feelings.
“Well, nice chat. I still got work to do with Spencer, enjoy your trip. Spence, would you help me take the grocery upstairs?” Emma asked.
“Let me do it.” Will tried to take the bags while Spencer blocked him from Emma and took the bags before Will.
“Suit yourself. Mr. Stewart.” Spencer said.
Will looked at the young man walked into the building with the women he loved.
He yelled, “come back to me, Emma!”
He waited, but didn’t get the reply he wanted. He reached his pocket, lighted a cigarette.
“Am I losing you?” Will asked himself.

After getting into the building, Emma froze after hearing Will’s words.
“You still cannot forget about him, can you?” said Spencer.
“I will.” Emma held back her tears and stepped into the elevator.
