Chapter 1

"Emma the daughter of Mr Lucas was betrothed as a bride to our young master at 17 years. She is 21 years and has come of age now and it is time for the Lucas family to keep their own part of the deal and marry her to the young master." The butler read out the content of the letter he held in his hands. It was from the Carlos family. Emma sat quietly on one of the chairs in Mr Lucas's study. He had called her in when the letter came in. She sat, facing the butler directly but she was lost in her own thoughts. "It feels like yesterday." she mumbled. Her mind traveled back in time to the time when she was a free bird and could do whatever she liked without anyone restricting her. "I miss life in my hometown." Emma mumbled, her lips moving. "You should prepare yourself, you would be meeting your husband to be probably by tomorrow." Mr Lucas stated but he did not get a response and he looked up to see a dazed Emma whose lips moved. "Were you saying something to me?" he asked, snap

Chapter 2

As soon as Emma left her father's study and was going down the stairs, she bumped into Maya and was met with a scowl from her switched sister who was standing in the hallway.Maya's arms were crossed, her eyes narrowed in annoyance."Watch where you're going!" Maya snapped as Emma stumbled backward, her eyes wide with apology."You've been crossing my path ever since you came to this house. I wished I never got to see you again after that day but unfortunately, here you are as the daughter of Mr Lucas. I prayed for them to find evidence that you were some sort of illegitimate child but tsk tsk, you are their child. You should know this still, I am still and will remain their first child."Emma did not say a word, her eyes fixed on the floor. She knew better than to engage with Maya when she was in a mood. Besides, Maya was always in the mood to pick fights and annoy her and she wasn't one to respond to such."Are you deliberately not talking to make me look like a fool? Gosh!" exclaim

Chapter 3

"Hello, miss Emma Lucas. What's with the smirk or should I call it a smile? It's been on your face ever since you came in." he smiled, waving his hand in front of her."Oh, I am sorry about that. I was a little carried away in my own thoughts.""Really? Are you already having some dirty thoughts about what you would do to me. As you can see, I won't be able to do much to you." he said, deliberately lowering his voice.Emma's eyes squeezed into a little frown but she covered it up quickly, "I shouldn't be having such dirty thoughts now. I was just thinking of something else.""Well it's fine if you say so. I am however worried.""Worried about what?" she asked, looking at him in the eyes."Uhmm that you would find it uncomfortable to get married to me. Besides you aren't Maya and I don't know you too well to discern what you think about me.""Maya and I are two different people and I am here because you called for me. You wouldn't just call for me as a busy man that you are, you are he

Chapter 4

Today was the D-day. They never met again after the meeting at the restaurant until today.Emma kept a straight face as she sat before the mirror in the dressing room. She was all dolled up already and it was just her and Evelyn in the room."You shouldn't have agreed if you wouldn't be smiling at all. Where's that smile I have always been used to? I can't see any of that today." Evelyn her best friend commented as she fussed with pinning the veil rightly."Do I have to keep smiling all the time? I am not angry or against the marriage. I am just tired from all the stress of running around for this day. Besides, can't you see what is all over my face? How can I smile with this?""But then you shouldn't let it show on your face for the next couple of hours. Or is he...""What is it?" Emma asked, looking at her friend's reflection in the mirror suspiciously."Maybe he isn't as cute as Liam. Remember Liam, right? Don't tell me you forgot him after leaving us for some years?"She managed a

Chapter 5

She said goodbye to her family but not with Maya who was not around for the earlier hours of the wedding to show up late at the reception throwing her evil stares."You've got this, darling. I will miss you.""I will miss you too. I can't promise to have you come around to the house yet but then I will keep in touch with you and let you know once you can come pay a visit." Evelyn and Emma hugged each other so dearly before pulling apart to meet Adriel who was already waiting for her inside the car.Evelyn was more than a friend to Emma. She was the closest person to her and she referred to her as her sister who knows everything about her, including her strength and weaknesses.She kept waving a goodbye until the car was out of sight."It's not like you won't see her again. Your acts are childish." Adriel scoffed by the side.Emma burst out laughing. He looked at her surprised by her sudden outburst. He had expected her to whine and pull a sad face."Sorry about that but I couldn't he

Chapter 6

Adriel's eyes widened in surprise, his face inches from Emma's. "What do you mean?" he asked, his voice low and husky.Emma's smile grew wider. "I mean, your legs are fine. You are not crippled, are you?""What!" Adriel's eyes widened in shock. It seemed as if his eyeballs would fall out of the socket if he did not hold them in."What did you just say? How did you know I am not... Who are you?""I said your legs are fine and you are only pretending to be crippled. Don't get me wrong, I am not going to do anything funny with your secret. I have promised to keep between you and I.""Really? Are you trying to argue with the one who is actually crippled that he is not?" he recovered himself and shoved what she had just said off.How would she possibly know? It was just him and his personal assistant that knew that his legs were fine but he chose to remain on a wheelchair to feign weakness to his enemy who was hidden."She is just trying to sound me out and see if I would fall for her tric

Chapter 7

Emma's body clock did not fail her even when she was extremely tired as she woke up by 6am on the dot."I slept over today. I guess I was really tired." she mumbled, checking the time on her phone.She stretched out, feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day. She turned to looked at the young man who was now her husband, sleeping peacefully beside her."Get up, girl. You've got to prepare for work." she said, dragging her body out of the bed.She took a morning bathe but suddenly realized she did not come with clothes from the house."How could I forget to carry something so important? I thought I packed everything." Left with no choice, she opened Adriel's closet to search for anything comfortable to put on.But then as she drew the knob open, the closet was filled with clothes from the top to bottom. Not male clothes actually, they did not look like any of Adriel's.She found a note on one of the hangers, "The closest is yours, everything in here is for you." her lips moved, re

Chapter 8

Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Adriel found himself getting more and more drawn to Emma's captivating presence. Her intelligence, wit, and determination left him in awe. Every day, she surprised him with her endless brilliance, and he could not help but be fascinated.She was not the type of girl he had always dreamed to have as his wife or someone he loved. He wanted an outgoing, crazy and sexy woman just like himself. He got the exact opposite but it was too perfect.She was good at cooking, had a very good relationship with the servants, kind...Name them all. Emma had everything."How long will you keep staring at me that way?" Emma's voice threw him out of his chain of thoughts."How can you just be so perfect? I mean, I can't help but stare at this beauty before me. You may not have the perfect shapes but you've got the face darling.""Oh, please, don't start with your sweet talks this morning. You have to eat the food I prepared before it gets cold.""Sure, sure

"Is everything alright?""Yes, it's just a business call. I am afraid I have to run along to the office now.""I told you you would have to go back to your company to handle business, didn't I?" she said, chuckling."I will tell you about it when I get home.""It's fine, you should run along now."She watched as his driver helped him in the car. She returned to her restaurant only when his car was out of sight."I am sorry about earlier. It won't happen again. Please enjoy your food."She apologized to her customers once more on behalf of Maya's behaviour.The day was more hectic than usual for Emma. She had a lot of customers and deliveries to handle. Although she had people working for her, she was actively involved in the business herself.It was noon and she decided to take a break when she noticed her phone ringing in her bag.The call ended before she could pick it up. Checking through, there were five missed calls from her mom and two from her dad."Why did dad and mom call? It

Emma got back from the family dinner but Adriel was not back home. She could not eat much at the family dinner because of how tense it was so she had a light dinner at home and waited up for Adriel.Adriel trudged through the front door in his wheelchair, his exhaustion evident in his slumped shoulders and weary eyes. Emma rushed to his side, concern etched on her face."Hey, how was your day?" she asked, helping him out of his coat.Adriel sighed, collapsing onto the couch. "Long, stressful and frustrating."Emma sat beside him, her hand on her knee. "Want to talk about it?"Adriel rubbed his temples, his eyes closed as he balanced himself on the couch, "Can I get a bottle of water first?"She nodded and stood up to get a bottle of water for him.Handing it over to him, she sat across him.He raised a brow when he saw her do that, "Come sit here." Smiling, he motioned her to come sit near him. She agreed but stayed a distance off him.He kept his eyes closed for a while, breathing i
