The Billionaire Playboy

Emily POV

The plane lands and it is finally time for me to go home. I was supposed to be home by the end of the week, but my meetings have been postponed. I decided to come back early and surprise him. I have been worried since he hasn't picked up his phone, but he could be busy.

I walked into the house that my husband and I bought together 6 years ago. The excitement that I feel is overwhelming. I took a little time off of work. I want to take my husband on a second honeymoon. We didn't have that much fun on our first honeymoon. Damian broke his leg on the second day and I had food poisoning for the whole week. I spent my honeymoon in the hospital.

I walk down the hall and hear some grunting sounds coming from our room. At first, I thought Damian was in pain, but as I got closer I realized that it was the same noise that he makes when we have sex.

I steadied myself against the wall, hoping that what I was hearing was wrong. I walk closer as slowly as possible, wishing this is all a bad dream that I am going to wake up from any moment.

I open the door with a bang. The door splinters and breaks with the force that it hits the wall. Damian and the woman scream in fright. My blood runs cold once I see who the woman was, my best friend. How could he?

My vision blurred with tears as I made my way out of the house. I start running down the street. I hear Damian calling out to me in the distance. I didn't care anymore. The rain is pouring down onto my face and mixing with my tears. I could hardly see, but all I could think of was getting out of there.

I kept running for what felt like hours. I stopped once I had no more energy to go on. I stumbled into the alley and sat down. I pulled my legs to my chest and kept sobbing.

I don't know how long I sat there just feeling my heart break over and over again. Is this pain ever going to stop? I hear footsteps getting closer and closer. I look up and see a young man walking closer to me. I start wiping my tears profusely, trying to hide my tears.

"Don't worry about the tears. I already saw it." He gave me the kindest smile I have ever seen. I have never felt so embarrassed in my life. This is why I came into the alley, so no one could see me. I was trying to hide my pain from the man, but he could see right through my facade.

"Why don't you come with me? It is cold outside. We can get a warm cup of coffee inside." This kind man helped me up and placed his leather jacket around my shoulders. This is the first time I realised that I left the house without getting myself something warm.

We stepped around the corner and I saw that we were at my favourite coffee shop. Santa Rosa is the kind of place that always brought me joy. It is no wonder that even when I didn't know where I was going that I came here.

We walked in and all the usual waiters were there. The smell of the rich coffee enters my nose and brings back so many memories. This is a place that I came to daily since I finished my degree. It was my second home. I celebrated all my major milestones here.
