Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 30

“James! I’m so sorry—she didn’t mean it, really! Please don’t take it personally!”

The event organizer was all apologies, flashing a nervous smile as they gently pulled Emmy out of the way.

James? Mr. Nelson?

Emmy’s thoughts were a mess.

Standing in front of her was the infamous, mysterious James Nelson from Nelson Corporation—the same last name as her firefighter husband, and honestly, he could’ve been his twin. The resemblance was unreal.

For a split second, Emmy’s mind ran wild. Was this one of those over-the-top stories where one brother grows up as the golden heir, while the other’s left to fend for himself, not knowing anything about his family? It was ridiculous, but the thought wouldn’t let go.

Before she could even process it, the man strode past her like she was invisible, eyes fixed straight ahead.

A worried assistant rushed over. “Ms. Lincoln, are you okay? That was James Nelson from the Nelson family! You’re not hurt, are you?”

Emmy shook her head, still a little dazed. “I’m fine,” she managed.

Snapping herself out of it, she dug through her purse for her phone and called James’s number. It rang and rang, but nobody picked up.

Biting her lip, she quickly switched to texting.

Do you have a brother or maybe a twin named Jamie?

Send.

Meanwhile, Mr. Nelson had already retreated to the farthest VIP lounge, looking right at home sprawled across a plush sofa. He spun his phone between long fingers, the kind of guy whose presence just fills the room. Bodyguards stood by the door, making sure nobody got close.

Emmy was stuck on the outside, with no way to see what was happening inside.

Her phone buzzed in her pocket.

She fumbled it out and saw a new message:

No siblings. Only child.

Why do you ask?

Only child.
