Husband Novel 238



Chapter 238 Trial Of Hearts 45 Pearls

Ennly sat in Alessandro's private jet, her gaze fixed on the clouds drifting past as she headed to Florence. Her conversation with Mia had left no doubt about leaving Paris, especially in her current emotional state -hurt, vulnerable, and longing for the comfort of family. She missed Mia and the twins. They were her only real family. But now Alessandro had also started to show a surprising level of care and appreciation for her as Aria's best friend as he was grateful for the support she'd offered during his wife's tough times.

Emily had made the decision to stay away from Matteo after the harsh encounter with his mother and fiancée. It wasn't out of fear of their threats, but rather desire not to complicate his life further while she worked on sorting out her own. One thing was clear: there was no future for them together. Her life was already filled with complications and malevolent people, and the last thing she wanted was to drag Matteo into that chaos, marring his life with her own flaws and troubles.

She had been fine living her life alone before Matteo had entered it, and deep down, she knew she could do it again. It hurt to admit it, but distancing herself felt like the only option.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Matteo left the courtroom, his expression tense. The judge had postponed the trial once again without reaching a decision, adding yet another layer of frustration to his already long day. Still, one thought kept him grounded: his beloved-Emily. Just the idea of seeing her tonight made the rest of his day bearable. She would be waiting for him. The excitement of their upcoming date buoyed his spirits, igniting a spark of joy in the midst of his dark mood.

He had made special arrangements for the evening, determined to create a memorable experience for her. This time, he planned to propose properly, with a ring that symbolized his commitment. In the morning, his proposal had been genuine, yet it felt rushed and impulsive. He wanted to rectify that, to do it right, to make it clear that his love for her was profound and enduring.

He had already instructed her secretary to procure the most exquisite ring for Emily, confident that it would perfectly symbolize his love for her. A text from Amy confirmed that she had placed the order using Matteo's card. Although he had planned to purchase the ring himself, the demands of the day's important trial had consumed his time and focus.

Now, he couldn't wait to see Emily's reaction when he slipped that ring onto her finger. Then he'd take her home and spend the whole night making love to her, expressing his love in every possible way and showing her just how much she meant to him. But as soon as he left the courtroom and reentered his office, his secretary rushed up to him.

"Mr. Vinci, I must tell you some important news," she blurted, her voice sounding urgent.

"Not now, Amy," Matteo dismissed her with his charming smile as he gathered his files. "Place them safely. I'll need them tomorrow." He turned to leave.

"Wait, Mr. Vinci! I was trying to contact you, but your phone was off during the trial. So I had to come here to tell you this," she said again. But Matteo shook his head, ignoring her. He could be a ruthless boss when he needed to be.

"It's about Miss Emily." Matteo's steps halted as his hand froze on the doorknob he was about to twist open when he heard Emily's name.

"What about her?" he asked, frowning.

"This news," she said, showing him her phone. "It's everywhere."

Matteo's brow knitted with anger as he read the headline.

"Who gave this statement?" he growled.

The article claimed that Emily Yang was a promiscuous woman who cheated on Tomas Bradford during their marriage, suggesting she loved being with different men. It went on to say she was cursed to be infertile due to her promiscuous activities. Now, the article continued, she was now hounding the famous attorney Matteo Vinci, even though he had a fiancée and was set to get married next month.

The news had ruined Emily's reputation as a decent woman. People were leaving nasty comments, calling for her to be sent to prison, and referring to her inappropriate and dirty names.

Matteo's heart sank at the thought of Emily reading and hearing all those things. What had she been through while he was in the courtroom, fighting for justice, while the world was inflicting such injustice on his beloved?/

"I tried to trace the sources, and it turns out it was Tomas Bradford who gave his interview to a tabloid. From there, it spread to other outlets," she informed him.

"That bloody asshole," Matteo gritted through clenched teeth, his jaw tight with rage. "He should have hung until death, not just received a life sentence. Now he's going to pay for smearing Emily's image."

Amy nodded with a serious expression, fully aware that her boss was true to his word and would go to any lengths to keep his promises.

"Get that news removed from everywhere, instantly," he barked, running a frantic hand through his hair while trying Emily's number, only to reach voicemail. "I want a public apology from them for printing such baseless statements based on the words of a criminal serving a life sentence. They need to understand who they're messing with-Matteo Vinci's woman. I'll make sure they pay for their relentless actions," he vowed, his voice filled with determination.

"I'll call your assistant and everyone in the PR team to take immediate action, following your exact orders,' Amy replied, ready to execute his commands.

But Matteo didn't wait for her to finish her sentence. He quickly left, taking his car to Emily's office. When he arrived, she wasn't there. He asked everyone around, but no one had any answers. Growing increasingly worried, he drove to her apartment, only to find the door locked and her phone still switched off. Fear gripped his heart.

"Where are you, mon amour?" Matteo murmured helplessly, looking up at the dark sky illuminated by stars, searching for a hint of where she might be. Just then, his phone began to ring.
