Married On Paper To The Billionaire
Chapter 50: Traumatic Holiday

After much persuasion from her family and Elsie, Emilia decided to muster as much enthusiasm as she could and participate in the trip. To her surprise, Chloe agreed to go too. "Are you crazy? I'm not going to say no to a free away to Greece!" She laughed. "That's where all my dream boyfriends live."

"Your dream boyfriends?" Emilia asked her. "Yes."

"Who are they?"

"The Greek gods. I have a crush on all of them, especially Zeus."

Emilia laughed and for the first time since Elsie suggested this trip, she genuinely looked forward to it. Having her sister with her there would make it an enjoyable experience for sure. They flew in one of Kane's private jets and when they reached the beautiful Mediterranean country, they boarded a luxurious cruise ship that Kane had rented for their 10-day holiday. "Do you remember our honeymoon trip to that exotic restaurant on the hills of Santorini?" He asked her on their first night on the ship.

Emilia shrugged. "That was a long time ago. A lot has happened since then."

He sighed. "What do I have to say or do to earn your forgiveness? How long will you stay angry with me?"

"Who says I'm angry?"

"Aren't you? You barely speak to me and when you do, it comes out harsh and full of anger. Can we just put the past behind us and move on?" "You know... I can't keep wondering how things would have turned out if Serena's child survived. Would we still have a marriage to fight for?" "Now, here's exactly what I'm saying. That's in the past. All those could've, would've, and should'ves don't matter anymore. Let it go, Emilia, please." "Fine. Give me some time to think about it and I'll let you know what I decide," she said and walked away.

Her parents were sitting on the deck with Elsie and Lillian, enjoying cocktails and chatting lightheartedly. She didn't feel like socializing, so she avoided that section and headed towards the cabins.

As soon as she descended the last step to the second floor, she ran into Chloe who had just emerged from the casino. Her hair was a mess, the left strap of her dress had been ripped and she was crying. "Oh, my gosh, Chloe, are you ok?"

Instead of responding to the question, Chloe cried harder and tried to get away from Emilia.

"Talk to me, Chloe. What is it? What happened? Why are you crying?"

"S-Samuel..." she stuttered in-between sobs.

"What happened to him? Is he ok?"

Chloe nodded and kept on crying.

"Then why are you crying? What did he do?"

"He raped me,” she whispered.

"What?"

"He raped me inside the casino. He called me in and said he wanted to talk to me. He apologized for breaking things off with me the way he did and said he wanted us to start over." "What..."

"I said no but he kept pleading with me and then he tried to kiss me. I pushed him away and that made him angry. He slapped me and pushed me against the roulette table and... he forced himself on me!" Emilia was horrified. "Samuel did that to you? Where is he?"

"In the casino."

"Wait here," said Emilia before she dashed towards the casino.

When she barged in, she found the place empty. Where had that bastard disappeared to? Feeling her anger mounting, Emilia went back to the corridor to join her sister. "He's not there."

"He must have followed the back door to the ballroom."

"We have to tell everyone what has just happened."

"No! Please, don't tell anybody about this. I don't want to be humiliated like that."

"But we can't let him get away with this. He can't just abuse you like that and go scot-free. He must pay!"

"Emilia, please. Let's keep this between us."

"I understand your concern, Chloe, but this is too serious for us to keep it between us. Someone else has to know. Someone who will make sure that Samuel doesn't try this again." "Who? Mum and Dad?"

"No. My husband."

"I don't want him to be involved in this."

"If I'm involved, then so is he. I'll take you to the medics so that they can take care of you and gather evidence of this abuse. After that, I'll go and tell Kane."

Chloe didn't argue with her big sis. She was simply grateful to have someone else do the thinking for her because her mind was numb at the moment.

Emilia took her sister to the medical section on the lower deck where she reported what had happened and they agreed to take care of Chloe. Then she went back to the upper deck to look for Kane.

She found him sitting alone beside the pool, idly flipping through the pages of a magazine. He looked up when he heard her approaching and the look of hope on his face nearly made her abort her mission and just kiss him instead. "Something terrible has happened," she said flatly.

His expression changed from hopeful to confused. "What?"

"Samuel raped Chloe."

The magazine fell from his hands and his mouth hung open with shock. "What did you say?"

"I said your brother-in-law, Samuel, has just raped my little sister, Chloe. She's with the medical team right now."

"What the hell!"

"He lured her to the casino and that was where he pounced on her. She was running away from him when I ran into her on the second floor."

Kane's face transformed into a rigid mask of fury. "Where is he?"

"I don't know. I went to look for him in the casino but he wasn't there. Chloe said he may have followed the back door into the ballroom."

Kane sprang to his feet and marched purposefully away from the poolside. "Who else knows about this?"

"Just me and now, you."

"That's good. After I kill him and toss his body into the sea, we can simply say he got drunk and fell overboard."

Emilia wasn't sure if he was joking or if he meant it but she ran after him all the same just to be sure. She may be angry with Samuel but she didn't want him dead. Together they searched the casino again and then entered the ballroom through the back door. He wasn't there, so they continued their search to the dining room. Samuel was sitting at the bar, nursing a glass of whiskey and flirting with the bartender who was giggling and twirling a lock of her hair around her index finger.

When he heard approaching footsteps, he turned to see who it was and then grinned when he saw Kane and Emilia coming towards him.

"Ah... I see you two have kissed and made up," he laughed. "This cruise ship seems to be working its wonders already."

Kane grabbed a fistful of his brother-in-law's shirt and dragged him off the bar stool. "What the hell did you do, you dirty scum?" "Hey, man. What are you doing? Let me go!"

"What did you do to Chloe Taylor?" Kane asked him through clenched teeth.

Samuel looked nervously from Kane to Emilia and then back again. "I didn't do anything. Did she say I did something to her?" Kane decked him in the face with his chin, sending Samuel to the ground with a groan.

"Does that jog your memory? Do you remember what you did to her now?"

"Samuel, are you ok? I've been looking all over the place for you," said Lillian, coming into the dining area. "What's going on?" Kane shrugged at his sister. "I didn't want you to know about this, but now that you're here, you might as well join the party." "What party? What's going on? Why are you on the floor, Samuel?"

"Because your crazy brother punched me in the face!" Samuel snapped, struggling to his feet.

"What? Kane, why?"

"Ask your husband."

Lillian glared at him. "What did you do?"

"Nothing! I didn't do anything."

"Samuel Adams, tell me the truth right now or you'll get a punch from me too!" She threatened him. "He raped my sister," Emilia announced.

Lillian swooned with shock. "What?"

"That's a lie! Chloe is a liar! I didn't rape her. It was purely consensual sex!"

"Oh, my God..." Lillian whispered. "What is happening? Did you truly have sex with Emilia's sister?"

"I'm sorry, my love," he said gruffly. "I don't know what came over me. I just lost control of myself..."

"So, you admit that you raped her?" Kane demanded.

"I'm not admitting anything!" He snapped. "Chloe is a habitual liar. This isn't the first time she's lied just to try to get her way. Whenever she wants something from me, she tells all kinds of lies to force my hand." "Wait, wait, wait! Are you saying this isn't the first time you've had sex with her?" Lillian asked. "How long has this been going on?"

"Answer the question!" Kane growled when Samuel wouldn't respond.

"We ended things months ago," he answered grudgingly. "It was just a fling. It wasn't serious."

Lillian's hand flew to her mouth as if she was trying to trap a scream from coming out. She took a step backwards, her eyes huge with shock.

"Are you saying you two were actually dating before?" Kane asked incredulously.

"Well, yeah," Samuel admitted. "As I said, it was never serious. It was just a fling."

"But you had no problem lying to her and promising her marriage when she got pregnant for you," Emilia blurted out.

Every eye in the room turned to her. It was at that moment that she realized her mistake. She bit her lip and looked away.

"You knew about it?" Kane asked her.

"Yes, but Chloe broke things off with him after I told her to. It was during that time that I was in Wyoming with Travis." "What other things happened in Wyoming that I haven't heard about?" Kane asked her.

"Nothing else. That's all."

He returned his attention to Samuel who now had one black eye from the initial punch he received from Kane.

"For your information, Chloe is with the medical team below deck," he said. "I hope you'll still stick to your story of the sex being consensual once they're done with her and the results come out."

"Ok, fine. I may have been a bit rough with her but that was purely out of excitement. That's not rape, is it?"

"I can't believe you!" Lillian shrieked. "How could you? Even if you wanted to cheat on me, why do it with our in-law?"

"Listen, baby, it was a mistake."

"A mistake? You got her pregnant! Are you insane?"

"Calm down, Lilly - "

"Don't call me that! You know what? This marriage is over. We're done!"

"You can't be serious!"

"Believe it, Samuel. I am."

"Are you kidding? You've cheated on me since the beginning of our marriage, yet I stayed with you. Now, I cheated once and you want to end our marriage? Why?"

"Because I'm done with your self-serving, entitled ass!"

"It's for better or worse, Lillian. We're not breaking up."

"I'm going to check on my sister," Emilia said and turned to leave.

"I won't let you people make a scapegoat out of me!" Samuel shouted. "You're all sinners like me. None of you is a saint. Emilia fucked a farm boy while still married to Kane, Kane fucked his daughter's kidnapper right under Emilia's nose, and you, Lillian... you have fucked every female creature that passed in front of you since the past ten years we've been married to each other. We are all guilty as fuck!"

Kane knocked him out cold with a single punch to the jaw. Samuel landed on the floor like a heavy sack of grains.

"I thought he'd never shut up," Lillian sighed.

"What a mess..." Emilia murmured.

"Not as messy as things are about to get between me and you," said Lillian. "How could you keep this sort of secret from us?"

"We weren't talking when it happened. I was in Wyoming licking my wounds after, moving out of the mansion and you guys were busy parading Serena all over town and smearing my reputation."

"We need to put a lid on this," said Kane. He looked at the bartender who had been watching the scene with keen interest and said, "If you breathe a word of this to anyone, I'll make sure you disappear from this planet without a trace. Is that clear?"

She nodded her head vigorously. "Yes, sir!"

"Good. Now, Lillian, call the medics to come and attend to your husband. I'll go upstairs and inform the others of what happened here."

"I'm not sure Chloe would want that," said Emilia.

"This is beyond Chloe now. Whether she likes it or not, the truth is out and everyone concerned has to know."

"Mother would be so disappointed," said Lillian.

"She'll get over it. Come on, let's move it. This vacation is officially over."
