Chapter 181 Best Friends 96%%FinishedMatteo’s driver dropped Emily off safely at her apartment. Though it was practically Mia’s house, it was the only place Emily had to call her own.She unlocked the door and set her bag on the table near the sofa. Then she went to her room, plugged her phone in to charge, and selected her sleepwear from the cupboard. After taking a hot shower, she changed into her pajamas and prepared to retire to bed, eager to sink into the comfort of her soft mattress.But as she stepped out of the bathroom, she heard her phone ringing. She walked over, unplugged it fron the charger, and saw a warm smile brighten her mood when she realized it was Mia calling.But then she realized it was late at night.

Alessandro told me he got a call from Matteo, and he said Tomas tried to hurt you!” The anger toward Tomas and the worry for her friend made Mia’s voice tremble. “I’m coming right now. I’ve told Alessandro to get the jet ready.” Mia declared, her urgency clear.Placing the phone against her ear, Emily sat on the bed and leaned back, stretching her leg out comfortably on the mattress. A soft smile tugged at her lips as she heard Mia worrying about her so much. It made her feel that she wasn’t alone in this world-Mia was always there for her, no matter what. After her parents died and she lost her wealth, her relatives discarded her without a second thought. But then Mia came into her life, and along with Gia and Maximo, they became the only family Emily had.”Relax, Mia,” Emily said softly, sensing her distress. She knew Mia was pregnant and didn’t want her to be stressed. “I’m fine. Mr. Vinci was there, so nothing actually happened.”Emily bit her lip as she recalled what had happened at the hotel and how Matteo had stepped in to save her. But she quickly shook off the thoughts as she reminded herself that Matteo was a notorious playboy, untrustworthy when it came to hot and beautiful women-a shameless flirt with little self-control.”I won’t spare that monster. He has to face the consequences, Mia muttered, breathing heavily in anger.”Mia! Mia! Calm down and take a deep breath, Emily soothed, trying to calm her best friend down. “He can’t do anything to me, and don’t worry, I’ll make sure he faces the consequences.””Yes, he should know better than to come any closer to you,” Mia uttered firmly. Emily could almost picture Mia’s expression-frowning and nose flaring, red with anger. Mia was always protective of Emily. just as Emily was protective of Mia. Although they didn’t share a blood relationship, they had found a sisterhood in each other, bonded through their mutual pain and sufferitig caused by the men in their lives.”Do you want me to involve Alessandro and have your ex-husband removed from the earth?” Mia suggested darkly, causing Emily’s eyes to widen in shock. It was striking how quickly Mia’s time with her husband had influenced her perspective. Emily snorted at the thought.”No, Mia. But thank you for thinking about me. A small punishment will never be enough. I want him to suffer with humiliation and experience the pain of losing everything, and for that, I will seek the help of the law” Frilu erined out the rain from her ex-husband’s herraval resurfacing in her heart. “And Me1/2Chapter 181 Best FriendsFinished”That’s really great because Matteo is the best lawyer, and no onen defeat him in the courtroom. I’ll talk to him personally and make sure he goes to any length to get justice for you,” Mia guaranteed firmly.Suddenly, the doorbell of her flat rang, causing Emily to lift her head toward the door.”Mia, someone is at the door. I’ll talk to you later.” Emily said, about to hang up.But Mia urged, “Wait! Who would be there at this time of night?”Emily shook her head at her best friend’s concern. She worried too much.”Mia, Mr. Vinci said he would get my car dropped off here since I left it at the hotel. It must be his driver delivering the keys,” Emily informed.”Oh. I see,” Mia murmured. “Take care of yourself and let me know if you need anything. I’ll be there in a heartbeat.” Mia’s vow made Emily laugh with relief.”Okay, my brave lady!” she saluted, even though Mia couldn’t see her..The doorbell rang again.”Okay, I’m going to see who’s ringing the bell so impatiently,” Emily said with amusement before adding. “Bye, Mia. Take care of yourself and the baby in your tummy.” She smiled.”Bye, Emily,” Mia replied shyly, and Emily could almost picture her blushing.After ending the call, Emily set the phone aside and got up to see who was at the door.As Emily opened the door, she was startled to see four burly men in black clothes. Their expressions were so dark and intimidating that Emily’s instincts kicked in. She hurried to close the door, but the men were quick and strong, pushing it open forcefully. They jerked Emily back, making her fall onto her back as they entered her flat and shut the door behind them. Emily’s eyes widened in horror as she watched them close in on her.1.3K08:41 Mon, Oct 7
