EMILY:I was scared of being alone. I had no idea why Tyler kept recurring in my dreams for a few days now, but it was something scary.I had always wanted to go meet him after I was reborn, but I couldn't. After meeting Christian and Lilith, all I wanted was to have a good life and forget about the past. I wanted to pursue the career I had sacrificed in the past for Tyler, and have a little kid by my side to keep me company whenever I was sad or I thought of my baby that I had lost.Christian didn't want to go to bed. I didn't want him to stare at my face any longer."I told you I'm fine now."It was really unexplainable how I became so close to him to a level I could ask him to stay with me because I was scared of being alone."I don't believe you." He replied.I heaved. I didn't know what to say. With the expression he had on his face, I could fucking tell he was curious about my past, and what I had been through. I wasn't going to tell him or anybody."I wanna go up now." I said.
EMILY:"Talia… focus." She immediately came back to her senses and handed him the scalpel. I could tell she was lost in her thoughts. She raised her eyes, and stared at mine with so much hate in there. I had finally done it, and I wasn't going to let her hurt even a single strand on my hair. She had done it once, but it wouldn't happen again."Leave, I'll take care of it." I said and everyone looked at me."W…what?" She replied immediately"You aren't in a good shape today, Talia, and you could hurt the patient if you don't come back to your senses. We'll take care of everything here so leave."Everywhere was silent, and everyone in here was waiting for Dr Christian's response."Do as she says. When you feel you're alright, then you can perform the next surgery with us."Talia was shocked. She averted her gaze towards him, and then brought it back to me. The mask on her nose didn't cover her eyes, so I could see them closely. They were so bloody due to anger, but I wasn't even afraid
EMILY:I walked out of the operating room and headed straight for Christian's office. He was seated and attending to some files."I accept. For the meantime, at least till we find who tried to harm me, I'll move in with you."He stared at me. "Did something happen?"I shook my head in hesitation. "Okay, I'll arrange for that."Even after he said that, I didn't stand up to leave. "Anything else?""We should keep this a secret too. I don't want any misunderstanding with anyone.""Alright." He answered sharply. There was something strange and I didn't know why he was acting a bit distant or harsh towards me. I wanted to ask if he was okay, but then I just rose on my feet."The surgery begins soon."As I turned to leave, something he had on his table caught my attention. I thought I had seen that face before even though it was covered half way with something else. I didn't want to act like I wanted to look at something."Aren't you leaving?" I cleared my throat."Nothing."I turned and wa
EMILY:"Can you go out to a party with me? Just act like you're my woman for a night." He said.I thought I had heard him wrong, no, I really did hear him wrong so I wanted to hear him again. "What? Why? No, come again!"He didn't say it again because he was certain I had heard him the first time. I didn't know what to say so I too kept quiet. I wasn't ready to act as his woman and go out with him. I had this feeling something might go wrong."Ch.. Christian.." I called.He waited patiently for me to gather the right words to say to him. "How important is this?" I questioned instead of giving him a straight no. I didn't like the fact that he had been stressed out the entire day, and it was really affecting some of the surgeries.I needed to know how important this was for me to come to a decision."It's really important. If I could let go of it, then I would have done that and not said a word to you."His response made me believe he too was having a tough time telling himself to do it
EMILY:I didn't even realize it had been up to 30 minutes already since I left until I heard Christian's voice."Emily, you okay in there?"I sniffled and fluttered my brows. I was a mess already and if I opened the door, Christian would certainly find out. "I'm fine." I replied. "I'll be out in a few minutes okay.""I don't believe you. Let me see you."I knew he wasn't going to agree so easily. I ran to the bed, picked up a towel and tied it around my hair. Once I opened the door, I poked my head out."I'll be out soon, give me a few minutes." I wasn't staring at him because of my eyes. They were really swollen and he would figure out that I had been crying. I didn't expect him to do it, but he raised my chin and made me stare at his face."You've been crying?"I knew I was busted already and there was no need hiding, but how come he always finds out everything. "Something got into my…" I didn't complete my statement before he came closer and hugged me tight. Though it suddenly mad
EMILY:2 Days LaterLilith was already getting better. That night, Christian and I were getting prepared for the party he had told me about 3 days ago.Instead of the hospital, we decided to leave Lilith at home with a nanny Christian had employed just for the night. I was still in my room staring at myself in my long purple gown. I turned around to check the outfit because it was a show back.There was a light knock on my door."Emily." I heard Christian's voice and immediately took a deep breath in. For a few seconds, my eyes were shut and when I opened them back, I began to walk towards the door. Christian has done so much for me, and if this was the only way to repay him, it was only fair. It was only a party, and all I had to just do was act like his lover.I sucked another deep breath and then opened the door. Christian was standing right in front of the door. The very moment he saw me, he smiled widely. I also did the same because I couldn't help but admire his look. He was in
TYLER:Karen and I got to the party. As much as I hated to admit it, Karen was really good at convincing me and making me do things under my own will, but not like Emily.Everyday, I reminded myself about Emily, and I felt like it was the pain I had to go through for giving her up first.While Karen and I were waiting outside, my best friend Killian approached me, and seeing him once again, I let out a smile."Hey man.* He greeted me first. My gaze diverted to the damsel he was holding, and I let out a smile."Tyler, this is Caroline, my Luna."I outstretched my hands towards her and shook her. Karen, who was standing by my side, also did the same thing. Seeing the perfect relationship Killian and Caroline shared, I envied them.Killian always envied me in the past while Emily and I were still dating, and he always made it clear that he wanted a love just like the one Emily and I shared."How long has it been? You haven't changed a bit Tyler." "A lot happened over the years." I repli
EMILY'S POV:Throughout the ride back home, I was silent. I didn't say a word to Christian no matter how hard he tried to say a word to me.My wolf was infuriated at the sight of Tyler, but my heart wasn't. It always belonged to Tyler, and somehow, I still felt it did.The car finally halted. Christian tried to talk to me again, but I just ignored him and walked out of the car. I began to head into the house, and when I got in, I headed straight for my room to be alone. This was a moment in my life where I had to think of my past.I slammed the door and rushed towards the bed, using a pillow to cover my face as I cried in it. Everything was hurting so much, especially because I had seen Tyler smile. It felt like he was happy, and that I was the only one suffering and thinking about him and the past.I heard a knock on the door, but I had to completely ignore it. A few seconds later, I heard Christian's voice."I'm sorry, Emily." He said.It wasn't his fault because he had no idea that
