Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 38

Night settled over the city, the KTV lounge glowing with swirling neon lights. This was it—the last wild night before graduation. The air was thick with beer, laughter, and the sting of goodbyes.

A couple of Emmy’s roommates were already a mess, hugging microphones and belting out an off-key “Don’t Say Goodbye.” Their faces were streaked with tears.

“Emmy, what if we never see each other again?” one of them sniffled.

“We’re all heading off in different directions! Getting everyone together again is going to be impossible…” another wailed.

Emmy’s eyes were rimmed red, but she held it together. Her tears just slid quietly down her cheeks. She lifted her glass, her voice raspy from the drinks.

“If you’re ever in the Capital, hit me up. I’ll treat you all to dinner.”

One of the girls wiped her face and joked, “You’ll be running a huge company soon. Can us regular folks even get in touch with you?”

But another roommate grabbed Emmy’s hand, suddenly serious.

“Don’t say that! If anyone gets married, it doesn’t matter where or how busy we are. We all have to show up. Promise?”

“Promise!” everyone chimed in.

After the party, Emmy stumbled back to her hotel, still reeking of alcohol and dizzy from the night. She threw herself onto the soft bed and blacked out immediately.

The next thing she knew, sunlight stabbed through the curtains, making her squint. Her head pounded with a brutal hangover. She frowned, then froze.

Her face felt fresh and clean. Her feet weren’t sticky anymore. Someone had washed her face—and her feet too.

But her clothes were still the ones from last night.

She pushed herself up and spotted a note pinned under her phone on the nightstand. The handwriting was instantly familiar. Dean.

If you can’t handle your drinks, don’t drink so much. I know you’re still not over me, but it’s time to let go and move on.

And by the way, you should thank Evelina. She’s the reason you graduated—and even got honors. I’ve taken care of everything at school. I won’t be coming back.

Emmy stared at the note for a second, then grabbed her phone. The roommate group chat had blown up.
