Mr Billionaire's Unwanted Wife novel Chapter 35

Adrian yelled into the phone, "Yes, do it right away; I want him in jail."

We returned to New York yesterday night, and I had a great time there, especially with Nan. As I was unloading the baggage, I realised why Adrian's mother is so kind: she is Nan's daughter.

I put my clothing in the closet and whispered, "Whom you want behind the bars, Adrian."

Adrian gave me a sidelong glance and said, "Nothing extraordinary."

He told me "Emberly, "Well, I've engaged a trainer for you."

"Trainer," I scowled at him.

Adrian looked at his watch and said, "Yes, a trainer, he will teach you self defence, and how to fight if someone physically abuses you."

I asked, tapping my foot, "But why."

"Every girl has to learn it," he explained, "so that no one can physically assault her."

I furrowed my brows and said, "And, what makes you believe that I need it at this moment?"

Did he know anything about me, particularly about my traumatic past?

He shook his head in response to "how many inquiries you've asked in a single time."

I jumped forward and asked, "So why suddenly, so emotional stuff, like protect ourselves, and self-care, blah, blah."

"Because I understand how someone feels in pain," he said, his eyes lowering.

I asked him, "You say, what's the purpose of this, and you say I will never comprehend," but he puffed and stared at me.

He drew me into him and said, "It's okay, you don't need to go into the specifics." He kept his hand on my waist and kissed me while squeezing my butt.

He winked and left after saying, "I'll be back after my meeting."

One Month later

"Yes Emberly, that's the spirit, just like this," As I was practising the kicking technique, Grayson, my trainer, gave me advice on how to escape an attack from behind.

After I finished practising, we took a break for some beverages and sat down.

As I sipped my orange juice, Grayson said, "I must say Emberly, you're a fast learner."

I softly punched his shoulder and said, "Thank you."

Grayson replied, and I grinned at him, "I've never believed that my best buddy will fall in love, but after meeting you, no wonder, since you are a really wonderful person from your heart."

He and Adrian were childhood best friends. Grayson owns a chain of gyms, and his team of trainers trains all the popular celebrities. In addition, he teaches girls self-defense, and his team has organised numerous seminars in highly regarded colleges and schools for girls to enable them to learn self-defense.

"How is your training going, Emberly?" Skylar came into the backyard.

I gave her a short embrace and said, "Amazing," grinning.
