Betrayed by Husband, Divorced when Pregnant-Chapter 204 Special - Part 2

Emily’s POV

I was standing in front of the bed while thinking of what happened today. I can’t believe Mason’s here. Yes! He can easily find me because of the nature of my job, but I didn’t expect him to come here when his brother didn’t even visit me once.

It’s not like I want him to visit me after I dumped him but...

“Argh!” I groaned and grabbed my hair. I can’t believe I’m having such problems.

Someone knocked on the door, making me jump in shock. I caressed my forehead and opened the door. I saw my manager looking at me with a creased forehead.

“You’re still awake?”

I rolled my eyes at him. “You knocked. I opened the door. Obviously, I’m still awake.”

He glared at me. “You need to rest, Emily. You still have a photoshoot tomorrow. I want your face to look natural in the camera. I don’t want thick makeup and concealer!”

I smirked at him. “Yes, boss.” freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

“Tell me the truth.” He crossed his arms. “Do you personally know that newbie model? Mason is it?”

I sighed. “No.”

“Then why are you still awake? Usually you’d be fast asleep at this hour. It’s already 10 PM, Emily. Tell me what’s bothering you.”

“There’s none.”

“I don’t believe you.” He shook his head.

“Fine!” I groaned. “I want a vacation.”

“Vacation? In the middle of your new project? You have an upcoming fanmeet. And you just got back from a two -week vacation.”

I bit my bottom lip. “Just don’t mind me.”

He stared at me worriedly. “Are you okay? Does your head hurt? Did you remember something?”

I told him everything about me. I told him that I have no memories of my present, that my life was stuck in my painful past and he assured me that he’ll help me have a new life. I was hesitant at first but he became my friend and he managed to gain my trust.

“Just tell me if there’s a problem, Emily. I don’t wanna lose a talent, so please...if you have something keeping inside you, tell me.”

I understand him. I heard that the model he’s handling before me. She took her own life because of criticisms and mental problems. She couldn’t take it so she chose to run away. I won’t do that. I know. Even after what I’ve been through, there’s a strong will to live inside me. And there’s something—or someone, keeping me feeling alive.

After my short conversation with my manager, I managed to sleep properly. The next morning, I was woken up by my personal assistant. My manager was already outside talking to the director about the concept of the photoshoot today.

I was having breakfast with my personal assistant when I saw Mason walking around half naked. He’s wearing sunglasses and when he seemed to spot me, he smirked and lowered his sunglasses. I took my breath when I realized he’s really found me.

“He seemed interested in you, Miss Emily.”

I looked at my PA. “You think so?”

“Yes! If ever he courts you, will you give him a chance? He’s hot, anyway.”

I chuckled and sipped on my juice. “Pass. I’d say yes to twin instead.”

“Huh?”

I just smiled at my personal assistant and continued eating when someone sat on the empty chair beside me. I looked at my personal assistant who seemed to freeze in front of me.

“Hello there!”

I landed my gaze at Mason and I hissed when his earring reflected the light. “It’s too early to get annoyed by you, Mason.”

He chuckled and bit on my sandwich. My eyes widened when he drank my juice too. How shameless!

“MASON!”

He started walking away as he lifted his arm, waving at me. “See you again, Emily!”

What?

I frowned while staring at him walking away. I heard my personal assistant choking on her juice but I ignored her. I just groaned and put the sandwich on the plate before I crossed my arms. That jerk!

“Emily.” I looked at my manager who sat on the chair beside me. He paused after he saw my face. “You look angry early in the morning.”

“It’s because of—”

“The sun’s too hot early in the morning,” I cut my assistant off. She pressed her lips together and looked away when I glared at her.

My manager shook his head. “Okay. So, here’s the concept.”

He started explaining the concept to me and I looked at him with widened eyes because of that. “WHAT?”

He looked at me with a creased forehead. “You’ve done several daring photoshoots with Jason, almost explicit than this and you’re always professional, Emily. Is there something wrong with the concept?”

I immediately shook my head and pressed my lips together. There’s nothing I can do anymore. And besides, this is the last photoshoot, so...it should be fine.

I prepared myself. I wasn’t focused while the makeup artists were putting makeup on my face. And when it’s time for the shooting, I went to the sea until the waves reached half of my thigh. I was silently waiting for Mason while my stylist was fixing my wet hair when I saw him walking towards us.

My heart raced as I examined his whole body. W-Wait...

I swallowed hard. He’s wearing sunglasses. A shirt that’s unbuttoned, revealing his ripped muscles. He looks normal but...where the fck is his earring and his...smirk?

I gasped when he walked straight towards me. He didn’t smirk. He was just staring at my face. The staff got his sunglasses and my eyes widened in fraction as my heart raced even more hard when I got to see his eyes.

“M-Matt...”

He finally smirked as his eyes burned with desire. “Glad you still remember my name. Stop running again, my love. Heavens be damned! You won’t get away this time.”

He clenched his jaws and took a single step closer, invading my personal space as his eyes stared into me darkly. I gasped when he suddenly grabbed my waist and leaned closer to me. He poured a glass of liquor on my chest and he licked it slowly while looking straight into my eyes...just like the concept but with a different...partner.
