EMILY'S pov:With that strange look on Christian's face, I could tell something was off, but I never knew exactly what it was. “ Are you not going to say something? I questioned. Honestly, I was never really good at keeping secrets from Christian, but one certain thing I was aware of was the fact that Christian kept hiding things from me.But still, I wouldn't let that stop me from helping him out before I leave for good, besides it's the main reason why I was given a third chance to live. “Nothing is wrong Emily, everything is alright”. Christian said to me. I sensed there was something in his eyes that betrayed his true feelings.“Are you sure about that?”. I questioned and he nodded his head. “Let's go and have breakfast love”. He uttered and smiled warmly. “Okay”. And as we held hands, we walked out of the room. “Good morning Mom, morning Dad”. Lilith's voice rang out. “hey baby “. I responded as I ran to give her a warm hug. Christian followed behind me but he wasn't loo
I laid flat on my bed and kept my eyes shut for a while and when I opened them, it was morning already. It's been two days since Karen left and everything around the household had just changed or was I the only one who changed? I tried contacting every single detective around and even sent so many servants in search of Karen but all came to no avail. I just haven't been myself lately especially when Mom's around. I inhaled a deep breath and rose to my feet and within a few seconds, I found myself back in Karen's room as usual. I would always come here whenever I thought about her. “Karen please come back” I muttered out as I leaned my back to the wall and placed my hands on my forehead. Frustrated, I signed a little and sat on the floor. Everything feels empty without Karen here and I hadn't even had time to win Emily's heart back. “Alpha you have visitors”. Zane walked in and when his gaze met with mine, his eyes widened in shock instantly. “I'll be there in a few minutes”. I
In annoyance, I watched patiently as two of my servants dragged her out of my room. “ Is there any problem with Alpha”. I heard Zane's voice and I turned my back instantly. “No problem”. I uttered and Zane stepped out of the room. “Who the hell could have stolen this key”. I whispered. There was no way Jason would have stolen them without anyone knowing. The house was surrounded by the best security guards. I signed a bit before taking a few steps to where a picture frame was placed on the walls. I had always thought this day would come so I had backups. I raised the picture frame with my right hand and shook my other hand into a little hole in the wall. With hesitation, I pulled out a small rusty box from the hole in the wall and opened it gently. Luckily enough, I had hidden the rest of the keys here because I suspected Jason would come for the keys. I squeezed them tightly in my hands and left for Dad's old library. As soon as I reached the room, I headed straight to the pile
“I warned you about Tyler's man Karen, but you wouldn't listen”. Lisa said as she sat on a sofa next to Karen. “I never thought it would be this serious”. Karen responded softly as she kept her gaze on the floor. Her eyes were now wet as tears threatened to drop down from her latches. “No matter how much you try to hide from Tyler, there's no way he wouldn't find you.”. Lisa uttered. “Unless”, she continued. “You leave this place completely”. Karen kept her eyes shut for a while and when she opened them, tears had already started dropping down from her cheeks. There was no way she could leave without her mom. Firstly, she needed to apologize to Emily for everything she had done in the past. And secondly, Tyler's mom has to learn a lesson for treating her badly because of her past relationship with her dad. “Hey, are you okay?”. Lisa questioned softly as she pressed her body against Karen's body. “Whatever you decide, just let me know okay?”. She said and when Karen nodded her
“You called for me Dad”. Talia uttered as she sat on a sofa, next to her mom. Mr Raymond cleared his throat for a while before he began to speak. “Your mom and I had decided to get you engaged with Jackson. Your marriage will be held in a few weeks from now”.Talia arched her brows, surprised by her father's words. She stood to her feet instantly and drew closer to him. She remained speechless for a while and when she finally found her voice, she pleaded with her dad. “Dad, please I'm in love with someone else”. She replied, her words dripping with desperation.“Please give me some time to bring him here to meet you and mother. He's a good person, and will prove worthy of your approval, I promise.”Mr Raymond squeezed his hands tightly with hers and smiled at her warmly. “You know we love you too much Natalia, and we can't have you leaving us once more. Besides, it’s time you take your rightful position as the CEO of the company”. Talia, hearing these words, released her hands fro

Mia cuts the waiter off before he can complete his statement.She glanced at wrist watch for a moment before taking a deep breath. “Please Zane”. She whispered silently.

EMILY'S POV. I sat silently in Christian's car, I just couldn't help thinking why he kept staring at me every second. I turned my gaze to the window and glanced outside the main road for a moment. “What's wrong Emily, you don't feel comfortable?.” He questioned and I turned to him. “I'm fine”. I uttered and he held my hands with his other hand.” We're here already.”Christian halted and when I tried to climb out of the car, he walked towards the door and opened it wide for me. A smile crept on my face immediately as I stepped out and I tried to maintain my composure. Gosh, how I love this man so badly! After a few steps, we reached our main destination, a beautiful restaurant and bar that had fountains and statues within its surroundings. “This is beautiful,” I whispered and it made Christian smirk. I looked around for a while and when I noticed the place was empty, I turned my gaze back to Christian instantly, “I think this place is closed for today”. My words made Christian sm
