A Deal with the Heartless Man novel

---- She never thought that she'd ever run into Seth at a palace like this. A flurry of footsteps sounded behind her. It sounded like there was a group of people approaching. Not only that, but Emma could hear them whooping. "Congratulations on the good news, June. Unfortunately , the Bluebay is chasing everyone out, so we can't even celebrate for you!" "Exactly! We should be drinking to such great news!" Then, Seth's warm, affectionate voice rang out. "June is pregnant now, so she can't drink.

I told her that during her pregnancy, I'm going to quit smoking and drinking." Suddenly, the group of men hollered again. "Not bad, June! Mr. Hunter here is known for being hard to tame." "No wonder everyone says Mr. Hunter is head-over- heels in love." Emma instantly recognized those familiar voices as some of hers and Seth's mutual friends. At that moment, she felt like an icy wave had washed over her.

---- She felt like she was floating on the boundless ocean all alone with limbs that had gone numb from the biting cold. The pain and feeling of injustice engulfed her completely. She'd thought that she was doing a good job of hiding her failed marriage and the disgraceful truth, but it turned out that Seth had already exposed everything.
