Chapter 206 Until Now 

Emily froze in shock, her eyes snapping to Matteo, searching for an explanation. 

“Fiancée?” she frowned, her voice tight with disbelief.

“Emily, it’s not what-” Matteo began, his tone urgent, but Lia cut him off, her voice dripping with

“Yes, that’s right. He’s engaged. To me,” Lia confirmed with a satisfied smirk. “Matt likes to pretend he’s still a bachelor, but I don’t mind. As long as we’re not married yet, he can have a little fun.” 

The sting of Lia’s words hit Emily like a slap, and she could feel her heart clenching in a mix of hurt and humiliation. 

Matteo Vinci, engaged and still asking her out? 

He was no better than her ex–husband, maybe worse. The betrayal she felt in that moment was overwhelming, as if all her past wounds were being ripped open again. 

She had thought Matteo was different. 

But clearly, he wasn’t. 

However, Emily wasn’t the type to be the cause of someone’s broken home. She couldn’t allow herself to be part of this deception. Her chest tightened with a surge of anger, and she shot to her feet, the chair scraping harshly against the floor. Without a second glance, she stormed out. 

“Emily, wait!” Matteo’s voice called after her, but she didn’t stop. She didn’t care if people were staring, whispering about her sudden exit. All she wanted was to disappear, to get far away from the lies and the betrayal. Far away from Matteo, the man who had shattered what little trust she had left. 

Matteo cursed under his breath as he saw the fury on Emily’s face. He was doomed, and he knew it. His gaze flicked to Lia, but there wasn’t time to confront her. Emily was already rushing toward the exit, and if he didn’t act fast, she would leave thinking the worst. 

“Fuck,” he muttered, running after her. He couldn’t let her walk away with this misunderstanding hanging over them. 

“Emily!” he shouted, his voice more desperate now as he pushed through the crowd. “Emily, wait! Please, let me explain!” 

But she didn’t stop. She didn’t even look back. 

People in the restaurant glanced at them, eyes wide with shock and a hint of amusement. It was as though they lived for moments like this, enjoying the drama unfolding in someone else’s life. Matteo Vinci was a well–known figure, especially after the recent news of his high–profile win against Tomas Bradford. His name was back in the headlines, and almost everyone recognized him. 

But Matteo didn’t care about their gazes or the attention. His reputation, his image–none of it mattered right now. The only thing that did was the woman storming away from him, her anger palpable. 

He rushed after Emily, his bodyguard trailing behind, not far.

Emily didn’t even look at him. She was done. The betrayal she felt was too deep, and she couldn’t bear to face him any longer. She kept walking with determined steps, her heart heavy but her mind resolute. 

As she reached the sidewalk, she tried to hail a taxi, frantically waving her hand. Several passed by, but they were all occupied, adding to her frustration. She stood there, helpless for a moment, still trying to get away. She needed to escape, far from Matteo, far from the lies, and far from the chaos that seemed to surround him. 

“Hear me out. Please!!!” Matteo pleaded, grabbing her elbow as she continued to walk away. Emily’s head snapped around, her eyes blazing with fury. She jerked her arm free from his grip, her voice icy. 

“Don’t touch me.” 

Matteo exhaled sharply, stepping back. “Okay, I won’t,” he said, raising his hands slightly in surrender. “But please, just listen to me.” 

“What’s there to listen to?” Emily shot back, her voice laced with bitterness. “You have a fiancée, and you still had the nerve to ask me on a date.” Her words dripped with mockery. “How nice of you, Mr. Vinci.” 

“Damn it, you’re misunderstanding again,” Matteo’s frustration broke through, his patience thinning. 

“Oh, really?” Emily snorted in disbelief. “Is she your fiancée or not?” 

Matteo huffed, running a hand through his hair. “She is, but…” 

“Huh! What more is there to say?” Emily rolled her eyes, shaking her head in mock disbelief, her tone lacing with sarcasm. 

Matteo stared at her, feeling utterly helpless. For the first time in his life, he found himself in a situation where a woman refused to listen to him. He was used to giving orders, and people always followed- without question. But this fierce, unyielding woman in front of him was proving impossible to convince. 

“Listen, Mr. Vinci,” Emily said, her voice cold and unwavering. “Our deal was to go on a date, and it’s done. I think it’s best we part ways and never cross paths again.” 

Her face was like stone, void of any trace of emotion.
