To Marry Matthew ReevesHe could still hear her heartbeat inside the house. Once in a while, his mind would wander to her heartbeat before relaxing and continuing with work.Time passed into the afternoon and he soon heard her heartbeat approach the living room. He was greatly distracted and thought she came down for some food, but soon found she seemed to be leaving the house.“Where are you going?” he had rushed over quickly the moment he realized where she was going. There was a slight panic in his heart and he could not tell why.“I am going to visit my mother,” Emerald did not like answering him as she felt he was trying to restrict her, but she knew by now not to fight this man.“Let a driver take you,” he said. It was not a suggestion, it was an instruction. She knew that and knowing only made her more annoyed. “No, thank you, I called a taxi,” she rejected, making sure to hide her dissatisfaction. But she was not quite successful. He still noticed something when he said those
ArrestedMartha Jackson had just come out of a meeting when she was surrounded by police. She raised a brow.“Officers, what is this about?” she asked. She had already resolved the issue from last time when they were arrested at the restaurant. Why was she being arrested again?“Martha Jackson, you are under arrest for attempted abduction,” an officer said.“What? I assure you, officers, this is a misunderstanding,” Martha said. She had already handled this matter and was not sure why it was coming back to haunt her.“The men who had attempted the abduction have been caught and named you as the one who hired them,” an officer said and Martha frowned. How was this possible?Emerald though, did not get to go on a coffee date with Dr Kent. He could not find time off work.It has always been this way with him. Almost as though they could never make time.She was not sure why he wanted to see her, but she had quickly forgotten him.So, she went home early.Again, she slept with Matthew
A Coffee Date“Mom!” Emerald basically shouted.She did not know why Mr. Stone was here, but from his behavior, he knew the doctors.There was a time when she used to have a crush on him. But she soon found that he did not have any such feelings towards her. Her mother knew that she used to like him and was teasing her. She did not like this, after all, she had long moved on from her crush.Besides, she had borrowed some money from him in the past to help pay for her mother’s hospital bills and soon she found she was attracted to him.But her attraction was soon shut down when she found that he was not interested. It was severely embarrassing to her.She wondered why she was always embarrassing herself this way. She had never liked a man who liked her back. This was the same for Dr. Kent.Her crush for him was easy to kill when she found out he was dating. It did not help that she was owing him money.This contributes a lot to how she reacts with Matthew . When she recalls how obses
JealousyHis eyes made her adjust in her seat. She scrambled for what to say.“I just think calling someone sweet is odd. People can’t be seen as sweet.”“Why not?” he asked, “People are called sweet all the time,” he protested.“Alright. Call people whatever you like. I can’t understand it anyway,” she said, taking another bite of her cake.“Why not?” he asked, then pointed at his coffee, “Sweet,” then at his cake, “Sweet,” then at Emerald, “Sweet,” he said and she found herself speechless. “See? That wasn’t hard,” he took a sip of his coffee.“Is that so…” Emerald laughed awkwardly, “It is odd to be compared to food. It is not as though people can be eaten,” she said. She did not understand what this conversation was even about.“They could,” he said, the mirth in his eyes, telling her he was joking, but she could swear she saw something else when he said that. His words caused Emerald to pause mid swallow. She was confused. Why did she feel that he was flirting with her since he
To be his mate“Why would I hurt you?” he asked and she slowly calmed down.“You need to understand, my emotions are all over the place because of this bond. I am trying my best not to lose control, so don’t test me,” he stared deeply into her eyes.“Did you go anywhere else?” he asked. Emerald thought that his words made sense. He was already a very dangerous person. Even Though he promised not to hurt her, there was no need for her to annoy him to the point of him losing control.“Yes, I had coffee with a friend,” Emerald answered.“A friend?” he scoffed, stabbing into his plate of food with his fork. Emerald remained frozen for a bit, before she ignored him and continued eating. The dining room descended into silence again. Emerald thought she was done for the night and he was merely agitated and would finally drop the topic, but he spoke again.“Do you always have coffee with this friend when you visit your mother?” he asked and Emerald felt her appetite vanish.“I will not ask wh
His WifeMatthew woke up early the next morning. He was glad that it was a weekend, so he had time to spend with Emerald. But he received a call from the family home asking for him. He had no intention of traveling that far, so he got out of bed and entered his office to take the meeting online.Before the meeting started, he recalled that he had to transfer a butler over and took out his phone to make a call.“Sir,” he heard Mr. Martin answer.“Are you back from your holiday, Fin?” Matthew asked.“Yes, Sir,” Mr. Martin answered.“pack your bags. You will not be serving the main mansion anymore,” he said.“Where will I be serving, sir?” Mr. Martin asked.“You will be serving at the Hill Mansion, where my wife is living,” he said and there was a pause o y he other end.“Congratulations, sir,” Mr. Martin said.“Thank you,” Matthew answered with a smile.“I am about to go in for a meeting. When you arrive, make sure she gets what she wants,” Matthew ordered.“Yes sir,” Mr. Martin answ
HeartbreakApril had gone away when the meeting started and returned when she got a signal from her godfather that the meeting was ending. She had dashed into the room to see Matthew leaving on screen.“I have not seen you in a while, I have been trying to meet you for a while now,” she said, but was met with silence. This made the rest in the room feel awkward. April had been traveling and had just returned. Many guessed that she did not know that Matthew was already bound to a mate.This made many very embarrassed.“I wonder if you could leave instructions to your home allowing me to come over,” she asked with a slightly shy expression. When Matthew heard what she said he looked at her blankly. He did not understand why this woman would not give up. She was stubborn but it did not look as cute as when his Emerald did it. “Why should I allow you to visit me? If I remember correctly, your father is the kind to dote on you and would lose his mind if you died. My mate has a temper. If
The Harts In TroubleOn the other side of the city, Andrew Woods coughed a mouthful of blood as he sat up from a bathtub mid bath. He could barely breathe.He tumbled and fell so hard that the sound made it his way out of the room.Several of his men were around him trying to get him out of the tub when they saw him vomit blood. “Young Master!” someone screamed when they saw the blood and he was hurriedly carried to the bedroom. He seemed to be shivering as though having a fever, so they placed a heavy blanket on him. An Elderly woman rushed out and came to his side. When she saw the blotches of blood, she yelped slightly.“What is happening? Why is he bleeding?” she asked. But before she could get a response, an older woman hurried over.“Why all the commotion?” She scolded everyone in the room. But when she saw Andrew on the bed, she panicked. She noticed his pale face and the blood on the sheets and asked what happened.“The young master was bathing for quite a while, so I called
