Hey guy's, if you are enjoying the book, please do not forget to vote with gems. Also what do you think about Ryan? Do you think he cares for her genuinely now that he found out who she is? Let me know your thoughts on the comments section.
I just concluded my meeting with the Mayor, regarding some unfinished business. Making my way out, about to leave the mansion, I came in contact with the man Emily was with the night at the banquet. He was marching towards my direction, and I thought of walking past him, but felt it wouldn't be appropriate to do so, and proceeded to exchange pleasantries. "Good morning Mr. Fernandez!" I greeted, and to my surprise, he halted and responded, smiling back at me. I'm sure he knows I'm the one who married Emily. "Hello! Mr. Ryan! Trust business is going great?" He asked, pulling out of the shake. "Yes, thank you sir." He nodded, turning on his heels. I outstretched my hands to the man, but he acted like I was invisible to him, and walked past me. I don't recall having a fight with him, we are not even that close to hold grudges, so why would he ignore me? I turned on my heels, striding to where I had left my assistant waiting for me. "Boss! The guys called, they said they want to meet
EmilyI was still at the office, reviewing the company's accounts, when a knock interrupted my focus. Raising my head, I allowed the person to enter, my eyes fixed on the door. It opened, and my secretary walked in, carrying several documents. It must be the ones I requested earlier this morning after our return from the store. She had mentioned it could take a day to prepare everything, but I was impressed by her speed."Ma'am! This are the documents you requested for. Everything is here, starting from the month of January, to the month of December." She said, and dropped them on the desk. I must admit, that was fast. Despite the workload she had, she managed to get everything ready within twelve hours. Reaching out, I took one of the files and flipped through it briefly before placing it back on the stack.The files were quite bulky. I would have to take them home and work late into the night. It shouldn't take more than three hours to finish, but I knew it would be a long evening
I woke up to a severe headache, reaching out to the clock on the stand, I checked, It was pass 6: 30 am. I slept very late, and woke up early, I wasn't stunned. I'm used to doing it while I was married to Ethan, I guess it will take some time for me to adjust to waking up eight in the morning.Stepping out of the bed to go do some activities before preparing for work, I heard noises coming from downstairs. It's too early, who could it be? If the maids were up to do their chores, I shouldn't be hearing it from my room, and besides it doesn't seem like it was coming from the kitchen.I made my way downstairs, exiting quietly. As I stepped into the living room, a sudden flash of light almost blinded me, causing me to glance away. The room was dimmed, but there was enough light for me to find my way around.Turning toward the couch, I heard my father's voice. "I'm here. Should I turn on the lights?" His tone was low, almost heavy."Father?" I called, walking over to him. "Isn’t it too ear
I watched each manager in turn, waiting for their response. After what happened this morning, I became even more determined to check the records they submitted to the general manager. It’s been over forty minutes, and still, no one has spoken. I imagine it's difficult to redo everything for the second time.Glancing into my cup of coffee, I realized it was empty, yet they were still not done. Without looking directly at my secretary, I handed her the cup."Do you want more?” she asked.I shook my head slightly, not wanting to overload my system with coffee. She nodded and quietly exited the room. I like how smart is she, she must have gotten the message.I'm grateful that Ethan called this meeting, even without my consent. I had planned to address this today, and thanks to him, I'm already on it.It's being five more minutes, I was lost in thoughts, wondering here and there, when I felt someone tapping on my hands. Looking down, it was my secretary."I'm sorry about that. I called but
Ryan"When is my next schedule" I asked, picking my keys from the desk, ready to leave the office.. I can't get my mind off how my mother had treated her. I need to find out if it's true. It's something she can do, but I need to know why, what were her reasons for going that far?"In the next two hours, you have a meeting with a client coming in from India."I almost forgot I spoke with him. I should book a hotel and treat him to lunch."Alright, take care of everything. I will have lunch with him. Send the address to his secretary, so he doesn't come to the office." I instructed."Okay, boss."As I turned to leave, Jasper stopped me."Have you seen the news?" I paused, furrowing my brows, waiting for him to continue. He talks a lot for an assistant, but he's a valuable asset to the company. "I saw something about Ms. Emily this morning. She accused the general manager of embezzling money."A smile crept on my face. She just resumed yesterday, and she’s already suspecting the manager.
EmilyI stare at the beautiful lady seated in front of me, on a call with her recipient. I have seen numerous elderly women who still look young, but this one is different. She looks like someone still in her late twenties. Her pink jumpsuit makes her look even younger, with her hair styled to the side of her neck. She's been on a call for more than three minutes, while I sit, waiting for her to finish."Okay. I will see you later." She says, dropping the call and turning to me. "I'm sorry about that. Where did we stop?" she apologizes.I smile. "We had concluded before your call came in. I will send you the designs. Please go through them and get back to me."She nods slightly. "Alright! I will do that." She picks her bag, getting ready to stand up. I follow, extending my hand for a shake."Thank you. It was a pleasure to meet you." I say, my hand still waiting for hers. Instead, she surprises me by pulling me in for a hug. My eyes widen, but I quickly replace the expression with a s
I grabbed my bag, ready to leave the office and call it a day. I would rather not stay late and get scolded by my father. I have some unfinished work, I will take it home instead, and get it done.As I pulled the door handle and stepped out, I was about to head toward my secretary, who was already standing when I walked out. My eyes landed on the manager striding to his office. I've been wanting to see him. Since he's been avoiding me, I might as well go to him instead. He must feel too important to come to me. He's not just older than me but also older than Ethan. I guess that's why he won't make the first move."I think he would rather not meet with you." my secretary said, but I didn’t turn to look at her. I already know that’s the case, so I’m going to him.Turning on my heels, I leisurely made my way to his office. Standing in front of his door, I knocked, waiting for his permission to enter. A few seconds passed, and I was still standing there. I knocked again, and this time,
I hurried downstairs, rushing to the kitchen to ask my mother if she had any pads or tampons. I wasn’t expecting my period this soon, but here it was, catching me off guard. It must be from the stress of the last two days and not getting enough sleep. Pushing the door open, I found her standing with the housemaid. "Mother, do you have any pads or tampons?" I asked, waiting for her response. But she didn’t answer right away. It was like her mind was elsewhere. Before she could respond, the maid spoke up. "I have a few pads. I will get them for you." She offered, turning to leave the room."Thank you, I will be waiting." She nodded and walked out, leaving me alone with my mother, who still hadn’t said a word, her gaze fixed on me."I thought you were pregnant, just hiding it from me. Perhaps you were scared to tell me."Not this again. I had already told her I wasn’t pregnant, but she still didn’t believe me. I can't believe she thinks I'm trying to cover up a pregnancy. If I were pre
Ryan"You were on the phone with Emily, weren't you?" Mother asked just as I returned to the living room. I had been with her for the past two hours, waiting for her to receive a call from Amber's abductors.I'm not sure if they are, but that's the only thing I can think of. She did show me the countless threat messages, but I can't even comprehend them—they don't make sense to me.Amber has been missing for five days now. I have been keeping things on the down low to make sure I get to the bottom of this.Mother isn't even helping. As much as she has been crying about it, her so-called fiancé—I don't even know what he's doing to help."She's not. That was my secretary." I won't let her know I'm back with Emily; I don't want her opinion. The way she mistreated her without my knowledge is enough. I don't want further complications—not even Zara is allowed to go near her."She's your secretary, but you had to leave the room to make a call?" She questioned, skeptical of my response. "Oka
Mother wasn’t picking up my calls. They were supposed to be home by now, since we left the hospital. Could she be in the washroom? I’ll just call her later. I reached for my laptop, but the door suddenly flung open, startling me. My secretary barged in, panting heavily. My brows furrowed—something was clearly wrong, so I stood up, waiting for her to speak.“I’m… I’m so… sorry for barging in.” she stuttered, struggling to catch her breath.I gestured for her to calm down and speak.“I had to run when I saw him leave… the atmosphere…” she trailed off.I knew she was referring to my father, but why would she think something was wrong? There was no way he would harm me with so many people around.“I’m fine. You shouldn’t panic just because you saw him leaving.” I said, taking my seat.It was amusing how she had rushed in, thinking something had happened to me. Goodness, it was quite funny.“Is that you smiling?” She asked, her tone a mix of curiosity and concern.I looked up at her, unabl
It’s been three days since I spent time with Ryan, and I haven’t heard from him. The silence is stuck with me, making me nervous. I haven’t heard from Jasper either—he hasn’t been picking up my calls. I had no choice but to return to my daily activities while still trying to reach out. After spending so much time at the hospital, Biggy insisted on being discharged. I couldn’t blame him—it’s suffocating to be stuck in a hospital, even for visitors. I can only imagine how the patients feel, restricted to stepping out for fresh air but never to their homes. Father had no problem with Biggy being discharged. He believed that once he gets home and had enough rest, he’d recover better. I was outside, leaning on the door, when I heard it creak open. I straightened, watching as Biggy stepped out of the room, with Mother following behind him. She handed me the bags she was carrying, and I followed them out to the parking lot. “Are you heading to the office?” She asked, stopping at the car.
It has been more than an hour since I left the hospital. I had to leave because I didn’t want anyone to show up while I was still drenched in sperm. Ryan was kind enough to help me clean up before urging Jasper to drive me home.I don’t know how everything happened, but I have no regrets. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do with him while we were still married, but he never spared me a glance. I didn’t just enjoy what we did—I wanted more. I wanted him to devour me until I couldn’t move. Those four years of marriage ended in divorce, but nothing I feel for him has died.At least, that’s what I thought. But I was only lying to myself. Every time I see him, something new sparks within me, and I can’t help it. I’ve just been hiding it from everyone because there’s no escape.I was glad when I arrived home, I didn’t find anyone. I don’t know how I would have made it upstairs without arousing suspicion. It wasn’t a bad idea to go out in that outfit—it led to me being laid on the desk a
Emily Having him touching me after so many years was blissful. I have missed him but refused to admit it for so long, always waiting for him to make a move, and finally, he did. I let out a gasp as he plugged into me and I gave a little scream, feeling a bit of pain. He paused, watching my expression with so much care in his eyes, allowing me to adjust against his length before he started moving again. "Damn! So tight. Must have missed me." He whispered huskily against my ear, giving my earlobe another bite. I moaned, wrapping my hands around his neck and trying to move against him impatiently. I needed him deeper in me. He laughed, before giving me a spank on my butt. "Easy." He cajoled before he rammed into me again, not stopping this time, as he thrust himself in, and I let out pleasure-filled gasps, closed my eyes, and relaxed my body. My heart began racing, and my fingers were twitching as I tried to control myself from not begging for more. It felt so good, his touches, car
WARNING EXPLICIT CONTENT I felt anger blazing through me, my hand clenched into fists as I stood staring at her, my gaze on her nipples. "Eyes up here, mister." She demanded, obviously caught me staring at her. "Why are you dressed like this?" I asked, gesturing to her shorts and top, trying to keep the strain from my voice. "I don't think that is any of your business. Where is Alex?" Emily demanded, while raising her head high, meeting my gaze. I glared, my jaw tightening. So she did come to see Alex. Without thinking, I dashed towards her, pinning her against the desk. Her eyes widened, as she let out a gasp. "What are you doing? Let me go."She said, breathing heavily, as she struggled to get my hands off her. I ignore her, wrapping my hands around her waist, pulling her closer into me. Our faces are just a few inches away from one another. I watched as she gulped, looking elsewhere but me, one of her hand dangling, the other on my chest as if attempting to push me away but
Ryan "How do you feel after taking the medication?" I asked Jasper, who had just returned from the hospital. I had dropped him off after we left the restaurant so he could see a doctor. Still, something tells me that wasn't where he went. I even called Alex to check if Jasper had come around, but he said he hadn’t seen him since we left his place. After dropping Jasper off, I returned home to find the Internet buzzing with Adams' scandalous videos. My gut tells me Jasper has something to do with it, but he's keeping it from me. "Yes, I got some drugs, and I was injected." He replied, pulling items from his pocket. I stared at his hands, waiting to see what he was bringing out. To my surprise, it was a bunch of prescription drugs. Was he really sick? Where did he get treated? Alex said he never showed up, but now he’s back with medications. "Come sit down and have dinner; you can't take drugs on an empty stomach." I urged, gesturing toward the dining table. He sat down, dropping
We arrived home to find the director parked outside the house. The guards must have stopped him from going inside. As we drove into the compound, Father instructed the guards to let him in.We all stood there watching as he drove in. He parked his car and stepped out rushing, falling to the ground and clutching Father's pants.“Please, you have to help me! I’ll tell you everything I know, but you must save my company,” he pleaded, sweat dripping from his face. His disheveled appearance made me wonder if he was involved in drugs or something similar.“I thought he claimed he was innocent? Why is he here asking for help now?” Emily said, stepping forward. “What the hell do you think you’re doing here? Have you suddenly become loyal?” Her tone was sharp and full of anger.I didn’t know what had transpired between them, but he must have crossed a line. Despite all those scandals, he had acted as if he was untouchable.“Let’s hear what he has to say.” Father insisted."No, I told you what
Ethan Father is taking longer than expected to arrive. I had spoken to him a few minutes ago, he told me he was already on his way to the address I shared with him, but there’s still no sight of him. I should reach out to Emily—maybe he’s still at home, forgot something, and had to go back. I turned to the guys, extending my hand to get the phone. Once I collected it, I scrolled through and dialed her number. I’m supposed to fly out of the country soon; the pile of work I have is alarming, and I need to get it done. Laughter greeted me when she picked up, followed by her voice. “Hey, where have you been?” “Lisa didn’t tell you? We caught the twins’ friend. I’m at the crib with him, but he’s refused to say a word.” I heard her sigh. I know she's probably gritted her teeth even though I can't see her. “You should beat him until he bleeds; that way, he’ll cooperate. Share your location with me. I’ll be there.” She ended the call before I could respond. Staring at the phone, I heard
