His Purchased Wife novel Chapter 79

Emily's breath hitched hearing the word fiancee and Katelyn together. She gulped recalling how she insulted her, slapped her in front of the whole class. How she accused her of sleeping around for money.

Alexandrio smiled politely. "It's nice meeting you both," He tightened his hold on Emily's wait to gain her attention because she was looking down. "Meet my companion, Emily Smith." He introduced her to them.

Emily raised her face and met with their eyes. Katelyn gasped, seeing Emily standing with Alexandrio Kyschove.

Victor stiffened when he recognised Emily. "What are you doing here, Emily?" The words left his mouth before he could stop them.

Emily gulped, as the memory of her crying in front of him passed through her vision. She gulped, held Alexandrio's hand firmly, and met his gaze. "I am sorry but I didn't recognise you."

Victor frowned, Katelyn's brows jerked up hearing her. "Maybe you forgot but we used to be classmates in college four years ago."

Alexandrio felt her hand shaking a little. He held it softly and whispered in her ear. "Are you alright? You look uneasy."

She smiled a little just for the show. "Yes, I am hungry actually," she replied sheepishly. He searched into her eyes, he could see she was not telling the truth and from their talk, he got the idea that she was hiding something. What? He had yet to find out.

He nodded at her, raising his head he looked at the people informed of him. "This beautiful woman is a little hungry, I apologise but I have to leave."

"Oh yes, sure, Mr Kyschove. We can meet anytime now that your companion is my long lost classmate," Victor said, his words made Emily's skin crawl.

Alexandrio scowled. "I wish I could say it but I don't meet anyone without an appointment, so if you want to meet me, make an appointment, Mr Brown." He told him and Victor's face turned red suddenly as If someone had slapped him.

Katelyn's eyes flashed in anger but she hid her emotions well behind a smile. "Of course we understand you are a busy man, please enjoy," saying that she moved to another corner with Victor.

Alexandrio felt her body relax after they left. Now he was sure there was something not right. "Shall we leave for lunch?"

Emily nodded. "Yes."

While they were having lunch Alexandrio received a call from his brother. He sighed, "I have to take this Call, will you be fine till I come back?" He asked Emily who nodded. "Yes."

He didn't move for a second, stared at her face then nodded and walked to the corner to listen to the call.

Emily was still not over whom she saw, she was still jumpy over it and prayed that they don't meet her again but as if God was not in her favour today.

"Yes she ran outside," she replied and took a huge gulp of her drink. "It was nice meeting you, Mr Kyschove and yes, I will not forget taking your appointment before meeting you."

Alexandrio didn't pay much attention to her and ran outside to find Emily. His gaze went to a figure standing in the park far away. He recognized her from the colour of her dress. Alexandrio ran towards her, she was sitting with her hands to her ears as if stopping the voices to reach her mind.

Alexandrio sat beside her, touching her shoulder lightly. "Are you alright, Emily?" He asked her in all seriousness.

Emily gasped when she felt someone's hands on her shoulder. She jerked away from the touch. "Don't touch me." She snapped.

Alexandrio's whole body went stiff, imaging the reason behind her behaviour. "Emily, tell me what's wrong. Who were those people? What did they do?"

That broke the dam of emotions she was trying to hold, she stood up, her eyes couldn't hold back the tears anymore and she screamed at him. "Stop pretending as if you care? Stop playing with my emotions and leave me alone. Leave me alone, please!" She couldn't hold the pain anymore.

"I am not a toy you can play with, goddamn it. I feel things and it hurts to be used by people…" she cried, running her palms to her hands to comfort herself but that was the last thing in her mind. "Please leave me alone!" She sobbed and ran away from there.

Leaving a stunned Alxandrio behind who was shocked hearing her and now he wanted nothing else except to find out what exactly happened to Emily.
