Love On The Edge: Stay With Me, My Precious Darling – Sneak Peek

“Let’s get a divorce,” Ricky Jenner said, tossing the divorce agreement in front of Emma Cooper, who had just returned home after three months of work.

Emma froze as the papers fluttered onto the table. Then she looked at the refined man standing before her.

Her fingers clenched at her sides, nails digging into her palms. Three months apart, and this was how he greeted her? He didn’t even bother to ask how she was. The first thing he said was divorce.

Emma’s silence dragged on, and her lack of response made Ricky’s brows furrow slightly.

“Emma, don’t tell me you’re having second thoughts. The two-year marriage agreement has expired. Even if you want to go back on your word, it’s useless now.”

Ricky was right.

Before they got married, they had agreed to a two-year timeline. Now that the two years had passed, he was holding up his end of the agreement.

In short, it was time for Emma to give up her position as Mrs. Jenner.

She took a moment to compose herself and said, “Nicola turned twenty this year. She’s old enough to get married. Our divorce is just in time.”

Nicola Cooper was Emma’s half-sister and had always been the apple of Ricky’s eye. His devotion to Nicola was evident in everything he did.

Two years ago, Nicola was diagnosed with leukemia, and it was discovered that Emma’s bone marrow was a perfect match. It was a rare compatibility that offered the best chance for successful treatment without the risk of rejection.

Of course, Emma couldn’t turn her back on Nicola. She would have been willing to donate her bone marrow even to a stranger, let alone her sister.

However, Ricky didn’t see it that way. He assumed Emma was a cold and selfish woman who would never help Nicola. So, for Nicola’s sake, he had not hesitated to humble himself—to the point of kneeling and begging for Emma’s help.

Emma had never seen Ricky, a man known for his unyielding pride, lower himself in such a way.

She and Ricky had grown up together and shared a deep history. But for her, it had never been just friendship. She had loved him for ten years.

So, seeing him act that way toward someone else made her so angry and jealous that she was nearly driven mad.

In the heat of her fury, Emma demanded that Ricky marry her. Desperate to save Nicola, Ricky agreed, but they signed an agreement limiting the marriage to two years.

Emma had been too naive to believe that two years would be enough time for Ricky to fall in love with her.

Yet Ricky remained distant, his heart unwaveringly tied to Nicola. Emma had lost—and it was a humiliating defeat.

A self-deprecating smile tugged at the corner of Emma’s pale lips as she thought about it.

Ricky’s handsome face showed a flicker of impatience. He handed Emma a pen and said indifferently, “Sign it.”

Emma glanced at the pen in his hand, then nodded, took it, and picked up the document from the table. She turned to the last page and signed her name.

She put down the pen, raised her head, and met Ricky’s gaze. His eyes were as beautiful and inviting as ever, but now they were cold enough to chill her heart.

Ricky took the document, checked her signature, then looked at her. “Nicola’s condition has relapsed. She—”

“How can that be? So, do you want me to go to the hospital to help her again?” Emma interrupted, shocked before he could finish.

She had donated her bone marrow to save Nicola two years ago. Did she have to do it again?

“No need. I don’t want you to pull a stunt like that again,” Ricky said harshly. “I’ve already arranged the best doctors for her. Also, I found another suitable donor. There’s nothing for you to do this time. But Nicola said she misses you. Just go to the hospital and see her.”

Emma noticed a subtle change in Ricky’s demeanor when he mentioned Nicola. His furrowed brows softened, and his cold, indifferent expression gave way to something warmer.

The sight sent a sharp pang through her heart. Yet she pretended to be unaffected and nodded in agreement.

“It’s a bit late. Is it okay if I move out tomorrow?” Emma said, forcing a smile. Deep down, she hoped Ricky might show even a hint of concern. But…

Unexpectedly, he said resolutely, “Edwin will drive you to a hotel.” He was kicking her out just like that.

Couldn’t she stay at least one more night? Emma’s smile froze. She stood up and stared at Ricky for a long moment. Then, she turned away with a cold expression and left.

She returned to her room, grabbed the luggage she hadn’t yet unpacked, and headed downstairs. A few maids hurried over to help, but she waved them off. “No need. I can manage.”

The maids exchanged resigned glances and lined up to see her off.

Emma had lived in this house for two years and had grown somewhat attached to it. After all, everyone except Ricky had been kind to her.

She felt reluctant to leave, but Ricky’s coldness during their marriage had worn her spirit down. She had lost parts of herself.

Taking one last deep breath, she told herself firmly it was time to let go. Though her heart felt like it was breaking, she refused to shed a single tear.

It was already midnight when Emma checked into the hotel.

But she couldn’t sleep. The turmoil inside kept her awake all night. At dawn, she tidied herself and went straight to Ecatin General Hospital.

Nicola was in a VIP ward, cared for by a private nurse. Through the glass door, Emma saw the nurse feeding her, but after a few bites, Nicola vomited everything. For some reason, the scene unsettled Emma.
