Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1055

She hesitated, James’s handsome face popping into her mind, and with it came memories of those moments when the chemistry between them was almost too much to handle.

She pressed her lips together, lowering her voice. “I really like being with him.”

In her head, a much more honest thought slipped in. Especially when neither of us is wearing anything.

That craving was so intense, it didn’t even matter that she’d lost her memory. Her body remembered exactly what it wanted.

Of course, there was no way she’d ever admit something like that out loud, not with everyone sitting right there.

Abriella had no idea what she was actually thinking. She just heard those words and smacked her thigh, grinning. “That’s love! I knew it. You two are perfect for each other!”

Emmy watched her get so worked up and decided it was time for a subject change.

“Let’s not make this all about me.” She raised an eyebrow, turning the question back. “What about you and Will? How’d you suddenly end up married?”

Abriella gave her the short version of her and Will’s history, skipping over the messier details. When she finished, she leaned in close, dropping her voice to a conspiratorial whisper.

“Emmy, you have no idea.”

“When we heard you’d been found, Will and I got so excited…” She let out a low giggle, holding up three fingers. “To celebrate you coming back safe, we stayed in bed for three days straight. Didn’t even get up.”

Emmy blinked. Her wine glass almost slipped from her hand.

Wait. Was that something you were supposed to say out loud? And honestly, was that really a celebration?

Abriella grinned, dropping her voice even lower. “But Will told me your husband is even more of a machine…”

She gave Emmy a look. “You know what I mean, right? How is it? Spill.”

Emmy’s lips twitched. With Abriella, no matter how normal a conversation started, it always circled back to something completely inappropriate.

She wasn’t about to discuss her husband’s, well, stamina. But then something clicked in her mind.

Three days in bed?

Her brow furrowed, and she suddenly cut Abriella off. “If you two were in bed for three days, who was watching your daughter?”

But she knew she wouldn’t get any answers right now.

She didn’t take the mic. Instead, she stood up. “I’m going to step out and make a call.”

She headed for the door and slipped out into the hallway.

Behind her, the music started, Abriella immediately belting out the lyrics at the top of her lungs, with Krystina joining in and trying to keep things on track.

The hallway was carpeted, the club’s soundproofing making everything feel hushed. Only a faint trace of music followed her.

Emmy’s mind kept replaying the way Abriella’s expression had changed. That little girl…

If she wasn’t Abriella and Will’s, then whose was she?

Lost in thought, Emmy drifted down the corridor, her mind spinning. That was when a playful whistle caught her off guard.

“Well, look who it is. Emmy, fresh back from overseas.”
