Emma Davis Wilson♡

A loud noise of a ringtone ruined my peaceful sleep and as usual, without opening my eyes, I looked out for the phone to press the snooze button but couldn't be able to find it.

I cursed underneath my breath and rubbed my eyes, slowly opening them and I looked around and noticed I drifted off last night on the couch.

Then when I glanced at the coffee table, rubbing my eyes, I realized that it wasn't an alarm notification and it was actually ringing because someone was calling me. And when my brain started to function more properly, I found out that phone wasn't even mine.

All of a sudden my heart stopped beating for a second and it twisted in a painful way that I couldn't name of, when my eyes landed on the Caller ID that appeared as 'Kiera.'

After contemplating with myself, I grabbed the phone and the time showed that it's only been half past six.

Why on earth is she calling out of nowhere and at an odd time?

I was about to answer it but someone behind me quickly s

    Emma Davis It was really excruciating how life could change so fast and so unexpectedly and when we all thought everything's fine that's when the universe began to prove us wrong.It's been a couple of days since Bella left this place after the huge fight she had with Christian. Even though Christian was an egoistic asshole, he was always been good to Bella. And they both adored each other so much that sometimes I've been feeling jealous of their relationship. Just kidding.But after that fight, everything has turned upside down. Bella was nowhere to be found; Christian was a walking mess right now; Chloe was too worried for her age and even Ana couldn't comfort her. And about Christian's mother, who was the villain of the whole story, was admitted in the hospital as she got heart attack on the same day Bella was gone.Technically Christian was at fault no matter what anyone said. Because he literally kicked Bella out of the house when she was fucking pregnant with his child and then

    Emma Davis WilsonI lifted my head off of Hayden's chest and glanced at his face, wondering if he's fallen asleep as he didn't utter anything after we both finally had a toe-curling orgasm.But, surprisingly, he was wide awake, staring at the ceiling with a serious look on his face."Are you thinking of a good reason to tell Christian for your day-off tomorrow?" I asked, giving him a sly grin and he slowly averted his gaze towards me and smiled back faintly.I furrowed my brows as he turned his gaze back to the ceiling and stared at it intently while I was waiting for him to reply.I began to wonder if he was regretting what he had done. If he was thinking he shouldn't have done it. Or if he was wondering he knocked me up eventhough he used a giant condom- well, he was huge, so I didn't mind -and I was on my pill.I didn't know what happened when he met Kiera. I didn't ask any single thing about it, till now, because I didn't want to. But now, looking at his unreadable expression on h

    Emma DavisI was looking through my official emails, when I heard the door open. I looked up and I saw an unfamiliar guy entering inside, holding a toddler in his arms.I stood up, forcing out a smile at him. "Hey, how may I help you?"He smiled at me back, showing off his dimples and I could doubtlessly say it was the kind of smile that would certainly leave the girls spellbound.He might be in his mid-thirties and he was clad in a casual attire but he was exceptionally handsome for his age. He must be around 6'2 and his brunette hair was one of the many reasons, why I found him even more attractive.Because he reminds you of Hayden?What? No way!I wasn't even thinking about his name until now. It's been more than a couple of months since I've talked to him.Still there was no information about Bella. Aunt Rachel, Bella's mom, told me nobody, including Christian, knew nothing about Bella which kind of freaked me out.I hope wherever she might be, she and her baby was safe and sound.

    Emma Davis WilsonIt's been three nights since we've had sex. And after the heated argument we had on the next day, we were back to square one.We've barely seen each other these days as he was constantly busy with only God-knows-what stuffs and he'd not be back home until midnight. I didn't bother much about it as I was used to it now. I guess, I'd not even be surprised if he said he was going to divorce me and marry Kiera.But today strangely, he was at home all day long and I didn't even give a damn about it as I adjusted my black coloured strapless mini-dress before heading outside.I paused briefly on my way out to glance in the hallway mirror and rechecked my hair and make-up.

    Emma DavisI stared at myself and noticed my hair has gotten two inches longer and I've gotten more tan which were not so huge difference, but for me, it was a major glow up.I was seeing Kyle for more than four months and maybe I barely knew about him and maybe I didn't know what relationship we were having, but still he was the reason I was serene again. He was the one who made me forget about the guy who I once thought would be the love of my life.I let out a heavy sigh when Hayden's face popped into my head. To be honest, after I came back home from London a few months back, I haven't had any contact with him till now.And the most important thing was, Christian has found Bella two months ago and they both have welcomed their second daughter, Haley Roberts.Then he proposed to her right after she gave birth and by the end of this month, we were going to celebrate their big day. And no matter how many fights we've had in the past, she inevitably chose me as her maid of honour.It'

    ♡ Emma Davis Wilson ♡I called Hayden for the twelfth time but as per usual it went straight to voice mail.I peeked a glance at the living room and Bella and Christian were having a serious conversation which would be, doubtlessly, about the positions they'd be planning to try on tonight.But I silently thanked God as they still didn't any sneaking feeling, though Bella came to the kitchen a couple of minutes ago, asking if I needed any help and I just dismissed her telling that all I was planning to make was, tea and some popcorn.I tried to give Hayden a call one last time but when I heard the "Hi, you've reached Hayden. Leave a message." I placed my phone down on the counter, sighing heavily.What if I was in danger? He knew I wouldn't call him continuously unless it was serious, but yet this scumbag let his ego win.Way to go, Hayden!I began pouring the tea to the cups from the teapot, trying to think of ways to kill him that'd make his death more painful.

    Emma Davis I unpacked the luggage that was lying on the bed when a pair of arms encircled my waist.I looked at Kyle over my shoulder and smiled as he pecked my neck and then my cheek. "Thankyou."I turned around, raising my eye brow at him. "For what?"He shrugged. "For everything. Especially, for respecting my boundaries."I smiled faintly as I, to be honest, didn't even know why I was agreeing to everything he said but maybe my heart was saying he was the right one and I was just listening to my heart.A couple of hours ago, we reached London and he refused to stay with me at Christian's mansion or the guest-house as he found awkward to stay together in a house with people he barely knew except me. So I agreed to let him stay at the hotel and I'd meet him once in a while, and he didn't mind much about my leaving as he had some business arrangements with some people in London too which would keep him occupied.My phone rang, interrupting my train of thoughts and we both looked at t

    Emma Davis-Wilson"How long will it take?" I asked, glancing at Hayden through the mirror who was drying my hair with the hair dryer and he shrugged, keeping his full focus on my hair."No idea. Maybe an hour?" He deadpanned and I grunted in response and was about to stand up but he gripped my shoulder and made me sit back on the vanity chair again. "Don't be rushed. Today your hair is more wet than you, so it needs time."I gave him a flat look before speaking. "I'm starving here and you're trying to make some lame-ass jokes.""I stated merely a fact, Em." Hayden said, giving me an amused glance through the mirror while blowing out my hair. "You look cute when you're mad by the way.""So you're implying I'm not cute when I'm not mad, huh?" I asked and he shrugged, setting the dryer down on the table."I guess. Because as far as I know, you've always been mad with me." he stated and I shot him a mock glare."Because you've always been an asshole.""Ouch. that hurts." he placed his hand

    Emma Davis-Wilson When my brain processed what Hayden said, I literally started panicking.Why on earth did Christian disclose this which no one had brought up for more than a year?I cleared my throat, trying not to meet Hayden's eyes. "I- um, I should head back. I'm.. tired."Before I could leave, Hayden gripped my elbow making me stop. "No. You can't leave unless you tell me everything.""Wh-What's there to tell?" I played dumb, shrugging my shoulders and Hayden let out a groan in response."Em, why won't you let me know you? Why can't you just open up to me?"I stared up at him and let out a soft sigh, shaking my head faintly. "It's not that easy..""But it's not hard either! I mean, you confessed all of this to Christian but you couldn't even share a single detail of your life to me ever since I've known you? How is this even fair?""Because you've never understood me even in the slightest!" I admitted bluntly and he seemed taken aback as he looked at me with furrowed brows."Wh

    Emma Davis 2 years laterI scrolled through my Instagram and when I tapped on his profile, I noticed there was a round circle around his profile picture which meant that he had posted a new story.I instantly viewed it and my eyebrows shot up in surprise when he posted a picture of mine that was taken almost two years ago, in which I was obviously fake-aweing while showing my ring finger to the camera which had a giant diamond ring wrapped around it. And he has written 'Happy Birthday Em! Imy.' below that picture and didn't even tag me.Bruh!Eventhough his wish was so bland, my heart warmed as he has still remembered my birthday and never forgot to post it every year eventhough there were so many things that have changed over the period.Contrary to what I said above, I was still engaged to Hayden and he began the wedding plans three months ago when I told him I finally graduated.I didn't mind when he didn't attend my graduation ceremony. And neither did he mind that I was still no

    Emma Davis The worst feeling, in my opinion, was when your life was falling apart and you couldn't do anything but pretend everything was fine as an Oscar award winner.I've had a lot of plans to do on Bella's big day but screwing my own life and being a broken-hearted maid of honour, wasn't one of them.I stood behind Bella with an impassive face, trying my best not to cry while she was confessing her vows to Christian. You may assume I was tearing up because my cousin's finally marrying the love of her life, but no, to be frank, I couldn't even be able to be happy for her, No matter how much I tried. All I wanted to do was, throw up because I was starting to worry that she'd get played too. That even the person you'd be ready to take a bullet for, would pull the trigger.And to make my situation worse, I caught Hayden glancing at my way now and then and it was really hard not to make an eye contact with him as he was straight ahead of me, standing a few feet away from Christian.Ha

    Emma Davis "You've got any photo of him?" Hayden asked with a clenched jaw and I was suddenly fazed by his raw anger."No.. why?" I answered honestly as Kyle and I have actually never taken a single decent picture together as he hated being photographed and I never forced him either."How long have you guys been together?""Why do you care-""Just fucking tell me!"I glanced around at the people but they didn't seem to acknowledge our conversation as all of them were too busy to care about anything but Bella."Hayden, we're at church." I hissed and his jaw hardened as if he couldn't care less but nevertheless, he nodded at the entrance."Catch me outside." with that he stormed out and I sighed inaudibly before following him behind."Now tell me. How long have you been dating?" Hayden questioned, the minute we stepped out of the church."It's almost five months." I stated and crossed my arms over my chest. "But what's up with you actually?""You met him at your town?" He asked, comple
