Quickly, the glass on the table fell to the floor, causing the glass to clink to the floor, the cracking voice ringed in both their ears, and an awkward tension rose in the air.

It was disturbing, the firm glance of Old Master Hart, the prominent gaze of Jeremy.

Old Master Hart gripped the table, his eyes suddenly growing sour. "Are you out of your mind? What are thinking of doing?"

Jeremy winced slightly, maybe, he hadn't expected his own grandfather to act in such way, but again, this was Old Master Hart and not some old boring grandfather. This was Old Master Hart, the leader of the Hart family.

"Grandfather. I swear it was only a joke," He cackled a low nervous laughter, inching away from Old Master Hart's cane that almost flashed towards his face.

"What stupid joke is that, eh?" It happened so quickly, the cane waving through his face, and an old man chattering his lips in anger. His legs tapping against the floor in pure rage.

    In any word. Emma wouldn't say she hated her brother. Hell, it was the complete opposite, he was neutral, between her hate and like.Her brother, Andrew, had some certain definitions; He was hot tempered.

He turns to look at her, his voice draping with the chills of vanilla ice cream.She did it. She thought

It works better than nothing.Trapped in her office, sketching new ideas for her newly released game.

He called out, briefly giving him a nod, Andrew acknowledged with a dirty smirk that lowered from his lips down to his jawline."And, may I ask why you are in my sister's office? Everyone knows that the Harts don't joke around with the Roberts."Emma widened her eyes. Wait a minute, even Andrew knew that, what she the only one who was just knowing this now? Damn her brain."I am sorry, Roberts." Jeremy gave a curt bow, he seemed exhausted and Emma wondered what he had been going through. How was his day? How did he encountered his day? Flirting with women, right.She chapped her lips together, and gazed at his crumpled face, he didn't seem in the mood for jokes, and was now glaring at her indefinitely."I will go." Andrew stood up, before gazing at his sister. "We

    Relax Emma. He's just Jason Hart, except now, how could she calm down when he was watching her intently? She tried to hide under the fluffy paper menu. But now, he had holy recognized her.

Now He was walking.Towards her. With a twitch of the lips.All, she wanted to do was have lunch in a not so popular restaurant, but who would have known she would run into Jason Hart?

    Few days later,A tensed sigh escaped Emma's crumpled lips, before she picked up the lipstick, puckering it to her lips.Gently and slowly, just like a queen. After centering the lipstick around her lips, she tampered her lips gently a bit, before picking up the blush, appearing a quarter to her pale cheeks. Emma sighed, letting her hands drop to the table, she adjusted in her dressing chair, before glancing at her reflection.Was it just her or she seemed to have lost a bit of weight? Her cheekbones flashed a lighter shade of red, and her eyes, they dimmed rather tiredly today.Today was another day, not just a day, the MET gala day, it was the type of ball that required elites, and the worst part of it all, it happened every season, Emma hated the MET gala, why? She was always required to bring a damn date or the other, and it was simple for her.

    Emma was in no mood for this, especially when Avery was overcrowding the door, her hands folded around each other. "Get out of the way, Avery." She gnashed her teeth, she wasn't hysterical, but why did some men have to make friends with jealous women?Women were women, they got jealous easily, but not like this. She wasn't ready to deal with this drama, this crap."Oh. Shut up." Her voice came out fearful, "Leave him alone and I will pay you thousands of dollars." She unzipped her bag, taking out some crumpled pieces of papers, Emma studied her, batting her lips together.Emma remained unfazed. Seriously, what was with it with rich people? Did they think they could buy the world with just a snap of their fingers? They were pathetic."Oh. No?" Avery raised a brow. "Fifty grands? I know you want it baby," She paused, zipping her bag back, "Make it a hundred grands. Just damn leave him alone.""I don't need your money."

    Was it going to rain?Hell yes. Emma panted heavily, her eyes peeking at the curtains once in a while, gently, she watched how the thunder lightened the room gently, scary, she wanted to die right now.She gripped the sheets heavily, hiding under the plain sheets, no, no, please don't let it rain, her heart pounded heavily, her dark eyes losing its colour. She was alone now in her room, in the middle of midnight, while praying not to rain.And, the worst part, it was going to rain. The thunder strikes again, and Emma gripped the sheets harder pulling it closer to her body, fear pounds through her veins, panic courses through her lungs and she struggled to breath."Please don't let it rain today." Those were her silent prayers, wishing for the damn rain to end- even though it hadn't even began.Memories started to flood her brain, that same day, she was right there in her room, she shivered before hauling under the blanket, shaking agreessively. The memories, why in the hell were they

She didn’t know why, but it didn’t feel safe for a fifteen year old in a huge mansion all by herself without any adult supervision.“The housekeeper and the butler are here to keep me company.” Her sister appeared from the kitchen with two mugs of coffee, handing her one, her sister

    Jeremy didn’t even know where he was going, but he was sure of one thing: He had to warn Avery. Oh damn, what was his problem again?Running out on Emma. Again. How would she feel? His stomach churned, he could turn back and go home, join her and they could sip coffee together.He raced towards the Imperial Restaurant, and stopped at the entrance, checking his phone, he went inside. The restaurant was almost closing for the day, the place was empty except for some people who stayed behind to catch the latest gossip.Where was Avery? His eyes glanced around nervously, and when he saw a figure seated on the chair, one hand swiping through her phone, the other clutching a cup of coffee.Sharp jawline, petite cheekbones, pursed lips, it didn’t take two and two to know that it was Avery.“Avery.” He scooped himself towards the seat.She glanced up at him, at first, shock flashed in her iris. “Jeremy?” Her voice felt tightened and stiff. “What are you doing here?”I am here to warn you, he

    Was she obsessed with him? Goodness, she was obsessed with him, she checked her phone, blank."Damn!" She slumped against her car seat, and sighed, rubbing her temples together. The cold December air flushed against her face, she checked the time in her phone. It was still early in the afternoon.Which reminded her, Peter was supposed to be here an hour ago, she checked her time frowning, they had agreed on 12:30pm, so where in the hell was he?Should she go out and look for him? Or should she call his number?Just when she was attempting to push the door open, her phone pinged, Peter's name filling the screen.Oh.

    Jeremy stretched his hand forward, inhaling the sweet and damp smell of the wind in his nostrils. The night wind always fascinates him, he didn't even know what he liked seeing there: Was it the stars that twinkled? Or the moon that lit his face when he thought about his life, but nevertheless, the night was the only thing he looked forward to all the days of his life.His hands trimmed towards the cup of coffee, he didn't know why, but caffeine made his heart jumble away, especially in the dead of the night.It's funny how you could think of someone, wish they were there, and in reality, they were there, right in front of you."Jeremy!" Her voice caught him out of his reality, her lips were pursed in anger, those pretty shoulders almost jabbing towards him, "You haven't said a thing!"Was he supposed to? Because he had nearly forgotten how it was to breathe, because with this woman by his side, he seems to have lost his source of oxygen.Her perfect figure stood high in the night sky

    Emma dreamed about last night, it was so good she wanted to relive it again and again and again, when he was asleep, she stared at him, at his lush brows that seemed to stretch out when he was asleep, to his lips that seemed swollen.This morning, she still wanted to relive it, but her brother- who often was very annoying just had to knock on their door this morning and demand breakfast.The moment she opened her door, she almost controlled herself from plucking her hand into his face and giving him a punch; he was going to destroy her morning with Jeremy."Hey. Sis." The moment he said that while grinning, she let the anger subside and pulled him into a hug, he smelled safe, just like when they were kids, whenever they got into a huge fight or were arguing about something, he would just stop and hug her.He always smelt safe."Come on in." She nearly controlled an eye roll, as she led him into the room, his hair wasn't scattered around today, thank goodness, his dark green eyes seeme

What has gotten into him?Instead of sleeping like any other normal human being at this time of the night, he was right beside the kitchen island, sipping cold coffee while staring at the dim light.Thoughts of Emma filled his mind, he was crazy for her. Her laugh, her body, her smell, he couldn't take it anymore, it was tempting.And definitely, he wasn't ready to go into that room and lie down on the same bed with her and not dream about this.He placed the cup of coffee back on the table, his body feeling feverish."Jeremy?" He heard the tiniest voice ever, he could even make out the shape of her figure under the light, so fucking beautiful, "Are you there?"Oh gosh, he wanted to hide right now, but then he said.

    It's hard how you can balance being a female CEO without people having to look at you weirdly amongst themselves and whisper. 'What's she doing?' or 'Does she know what she's doing?'Just watching them say those words always brings out some sort of low esteem in her, but after all those years, Emma finally realized that the only way she could get hurt was if she actually paid attention to those things.Today was no day to pay attention to them, because today, she was going to have a nice evening with Jeremy, and they are going to paint. Yep, she's finally going to overcome and paint something, even if it's just splashing paint on the board."Ma'am?"

    Jason was done arranging all these folders, and signing and making appointments, it never did seem to stop, just piling up in front of his table. He hated this part of the job, well, he hated being stuck as a billionaire with no future except with the one of making money.He ruffled his hands on his laptop harder, the keys almost bobbing away, at least that was a great way to make sure he was okay.A head peeked from his door, he recognized the face."What do you want, Mary?" Mary was the name of his assistant he just hired a month ago, fresh out of college, she was efficient in her work, but still. She was always messing his appointments up."You have a meeting with the Denver enterprise today sir. Like right now." She bites the lower of her lips, her face growing pink, "I am so sorry, I forgot, I had no idea until the call and-"Yeah, that was it.

    When Emma was in the car with Jeremy on their ride home. She received a text from Avery.At first, she thought it was a normal text from her mother reminding her to wear make-up, or brush her hair or it was just one of those useless advertising ads piling up in her email, but it was Avery.The text was short, yet carried with so much importance.Avery: Hey. Can you come to burger dine if you aren't busy, Jayci would love to meet you.She swallowed the lump that formed in her throat, before gazing out of the window, the building stood in front of her elegantly, 'burgers and dine,' written well in a cold blue font.Something in her heart cracked. Burgers and dine was just near them, how in the hell had Aubrey known she was here?Avery was inside there, she couldn't possibly have seen her car outside, or could she be tracking her?She swallowed involuntarily. These past few days, she hasn't been having a good feeling about Avery or anything, even though it's rude since the latter already
