Chapter 493
Winning Her Heart Back
Chapter 493 No Tuming Back
Emelie fought back against her tears, tilting her head up to look at the sky.
Wasnât it sunny just a moment ago? Why did the sun disappear so suddenly? Why did she find out the truth so suddenly? Did William ever love her?
For the past three years, she had been nothing but a tool for him, and now she was still his tool
How did she fall for him a second time after suffering once? Was it because of his high school crush on her? Was it because of that longâlost love letter?
If even the feelings he had that she saw with her own eyes were fake, how much truth was there in the things other people had told her about his feelings or his vague sweet talk? Emelie swallowed hard, trying with all her might to remove the ring, but the diamond wouldnât budge. Even though the force tore her skin and made her knuckles bleed, the ring stayed firmly in place.
She gritted her teeth and forcefully tugged at it, but Wesley suddenly grabbed her wrist.
âThatâs enough, Eme. This ring canât be taken off.â Wesley said.
âReally? It canât come off?â she asked, her voice trembằng.
âitâs an Eros ring. Its owners can only take it off after they die,â Wesley replied.
How could there be such an unreasonable ring in this world? How could there be such a heartless man like Williams? And how could she be so foolish, falling for the same person twice?
She recalled William calling her âEmeâ, âangelâ, and other sugarâcoated words.
Faced with the harsh reality, she felt a wave of nausea and turned her head, retching.
However, the nausea persisted, and she retched several more times.
Wesley frowned, gently rubbing her back. âEme, whatâs wrong?â
She stared into the distance as she murmured, âHow can such a disgusting person exist?i
Wesley knew that she had received too much information in just a few days. She had discovered she wasnât the Hoven familyâs biological daughter, had to deal with the Pierce familyâs grudges, and found out William had been plotting against her all along. It was all too heavy and brutal for her.
However, he understood her well enough to know that if she didnât leam the truth, she wouldnât willingly leave with him.
Wesleylonelt in front of her. âEme, donât be afraid. Iâll take you away. Weâll go somewhere and leave all of this behind.â
Just as he said that a cold male voice interrupted them. âMr. Graham, how many Umrs do I have to tell you that Emelie is my wife? What right do you have to take her away With that, a group of men stormed in, surrounding the entire Allen residence.
Elena, pale with fear, shouted, âWho are you people? What are you doing in my house?!â
These men looked fierce and menacing, clearly not with good intentions. They parted to create a path, and two men walked through.
Lyle was dressed in a tank top and cargo pants, although the weather in Liona wasnât warm enough to warrant that.
His fit revealed his muscular arms and tanned skin. His wild and unruly appearance highlighted Williamâs refined elegant demeanor.
William was clad in a suit as he swept his gaze over to Wesleyâs hand on Emelieâs back.
He looked at her pale face and said indifferently, âEmelie, come back with me when youâre done playing around.â
Emelie slowly looked at him.
Playing around? Did he expect her to go back to him?
Did he really think that his deceit, manipulation, and the destruction and death caused by past grudges were just acts of âplaying aroundâ? Did he really believe she could still go back with him after knowing the truth?
She couldnât help but laugh bitterly.
It made sense that he thought that way. Even after she had resigned and clearly distanced herself from him, even after he and Daphne had hurt her deeply, he still believed she would return.
He had always been confident in himself. No, it was more than that. He was confident in his abilities.
He had used threats, temptations, emotional manipulation, and sugarâcoated words on her, playing everything by casually asking her to come back.
Emelbe looked at William and shook her head.
This time, there was no turning back
