My heart drummed loudly in my chest as I sat on the piano bench. Relaxing my arms and fingers over the keys, I breathed in and exhaled before pressing on the keynote and the Melody flowed softly inside the wide hall.Heart beating fast and blood pumping, they listened to the piece of my heart and watched me in amazement. When I finished the note, a round of applause echoed through the walls of the room. “Please clap your hands together for Ms Emily. She has been very talented right from high school till today," The MC said as I made my way towards Vincent.With every step I took, I felt the weight of two pairs of eyes staring at me. I never stopped digging into my back, but I didn't look back to check who it was.“It was an amazing piece," Vincent said, and I couldn't help the pink hue that tainted my cheeks.“Thank you, Vee," I said and tilted my head to where Father was. Everyone was busy discussing it but I have been feeling pressured.A reporter walked towards Aysel and began to
Perhaps there is something I am mixing up here, or Liam was not in his right mind right now.“And who are you talking about?" I asked, my voice rising but I tried to remain calm.“Good. I know you will deny it. You got pregnant for Vincent, thinking I wouldn't know. You dare cheat on me and even have the guts to file for a divorce." He spat out every word like venom, cutting through the thick air.It felt as if my soul would be ripped out of my body. This was the thought he has had about me since all these days.I swallowed hard, trying hard to fight the lump at the back of my throat that was threatening to make me burst into tears.Who fed him all these lies?And here I was thinking, Xavier might still meet his father in the future.Instead of refuting his claim, I decided to go with the line of his words. I thought I was fine with this.At least this way, we will go our separate ways.“Why are you getting angry when it's just about me cheating? Have you forgotten you did the same? W
LIAM'S POVI left the hall after the heated conversation I had with Emily. My eyes didn't miss the way her eyes looked at me coldly. She wasn't the same Emily I knew before and I doubt it was because she has been away for a while.The gown she wore did justice to her hourglass shape, and her small pink lips beckoned to me slowly like thunder after the rain, which was why I couldn't stop myself from kissing her.God!I missed Emily and I don't even think I will come to see her again. Walking towards the car, I pulled the door open and turned on the engine; just in time, Emily walked out alongside Vincent with a beautiful smile on her lips.Her once bloodshot eyes filled with disdain now looked at Vincent with affection. They escaped my line of vision the moment they got into the car. I stepped on the pedal, ready to move the car when I heard the echoing footsteps.Raising my head, I saw Aysel walking towards me briskly. She pulled the door open and closed it.I drove the car inside aft
EMILY'S POVVincent's hand clenched around the steering wheel as he drove towards the street of Los Angeles. He was oddly quiet today which was so unlike him compared to any other day.It felt as if Vincent was angry about something but I didn't know why he was angry.With my hands on my thigh, my darn heart replayed what happened in the restroom. Liam wasn't speaking as if he was in his right mind and this is the first time I will ever see him like this.Not that I bloody care about whatever he is planning to do, but Vincent is someone I cared about a lot.“Emily," Vincent called my attention, and I tilted my head to his side to face him.“Yes?" I replied with a question.“Are you planning to run away from him?" He asked, not looking in my direction for once.Perhaps, I was putting more meaning into this useless question, Vincent, but a part of me didn't want to hide anything from him this time.“I'm not going to run away anymore, but I wish he didn't know about where I was living," I
EMILY'S POV“You should send her out. We already rent the entire place," Aysel's voice boomed, cutting through the thick atmosphere while Chelsea kept on apologizing without moving her lips.I didn't utter a word as I made a U-turn to leave. What is Liam even doing here when he knows Chelsea is my friend?“Emily, can you wait for me in the car for a bit?" Chelsea asked, and I nodded my head, smiling. If I wasn't receiving any call, maybe she would have informed me and I would have asked Vincent to tag along.However, before I could make my way out of the store, a commanding voice stopped me from taking another step towards the entrance.“She can shop around if that is what she came here to do", I heard Liam say, but I didn't consider coming back.To save me the stress of replying to him, Aysel came to my rescue, or I should have said she butt in.“Why would you allow her to stay when we make sure everyone leaves in the first place?" Aysel asked, but Liam chose not to reply.I was abo
EMILY'S POVIn the morning my nerves were all over the place. My emotions were chaotic with a complex mix of excitement and nervously as I prepared for my interview at Smith Construction Company. I had been searching for a job in the construction industry for months since I was in Spain and the only company that finally caught my attention was Smith Company, and this opportunity seemed too good to pass up.As I got dressed and ready, Xavier was busy watching cartoons on the iPad I gave him, sitting on the bed. I was fascinated by the construction process, but the idea of working for a company that built homes and communities from the ground up was thrilling, and that was what my father was into. Estate development was intriguing to me.It wouldn't be a bad idea if I could learn from companies like that.“Xavier darling, Mummy is ready to leave," I told my little bunny after applying the pink lipstick.I already dressed Xavier up for school and his school bus will soon be here to take
EMILY'S POVI left Chelsea's place after getting the dresses. I took my time to look around the street before getting inside the taxi. Instead of going home straight, I decided to visit Vincent's place of work Unfortunately, Vincent was unable to see me until I left the company. He was super busy with work piling up lately. It was amazing how Vincent was able to make time for it despite being this busy.When I got to the company, I refused for the secretary to inform him of my presence because I didn't want to disrupt his work, hoping that eventually he would turn up at his office. Sigh, today was not my day though. In the end, I quietly left through the underground car park. Telling Vincent about my suspicions of Xander stalking me would only add to his troubles and that was what I wanted to avoid the most.On getting home, I quickly took my bath and headed to the sitting room to wait for Xavier to arrive from school. I took my time to cook the food.When Xavier got back from scho
EMILY's POV The light peeked in through the open window as I winded down the glass window. Vincent occasionally glanced at me through the corner of his eyes stealing glances while I was busy listening to my favourite song.He was worried about me without a doubt, which was reassuring, not also a bit uncomfortable in the sense I could not shake off the thought at the back of my head that I was a burden to him. My eyes closed as I immersed myself in the music. It was one of my favourite songs written by Marina Sawyer about a missing rib and an unrequited love.I was so lost in the moment that I didn't even realize I was singing the lyrics out loud with passion word by word until I felt Vincent lightly tap my cheeks. “That is also my favourite song", Vincent whispered to the shell of my cheeks before facing front again as he stepped on the pedal. A light chuckle escaped my lips at his mischievous behaviour.I didn't stop glancing through the side mirror to check if any car was tailing
LIAM'S POVAfter listening to what Thomas said, my view of Emily's family became vile, and all I wanted to do was devour each and every one of them until there was nothing left. However, part of me wants Emily to know the truth no matter what. I want her to hear the confession from Laura herself and nothing more.Thinking about the fact that I and Aysel almost did something in the past, I realized how much of a fool I am. I have only loved three women all my life and it starts with my mother, my sister and Emily.Even as a teenager, I have always wanted to be the friend of the eldest daughter who is the most brilliant. I have watched the way the little one tries to bully her sister. However, I began to notice the difference in them as they grew up. The eldest daughter took almost all the traits of their father while the junior did not take everything from her mother.I and Aysel didn't exactly date but she claimed to everyone that we were together. I wanted to get closer to the olde
EMILY'S POVI was on my way to the Chelsea store in order to pick up Xavier, who was already back from school when I took a Left turn only for my phone to ring.I was surprised to receive a call from Vincent. I have been trying to get to him through the phone but his line was unreachable until he called me."Hello, Vee. How have you been?" I asked, hoping that he would answer. "I am fine. Can you meet me at my place today?" He asked and I hesitated for a moment, but my curiosity got the better of me."Okay, I'll be there," I said, trying to sound casual. He ended the call and disconnected the connection of my ear pods.I arrived at Vincent's place and got out of the car. I felt a sense of unease when I got to his place. Something didn't feel right.Vincent greeted me with a warm smile, but his eyes seemed intense as my eyes took in the decorations in the room. At first, I thought he prepared everything for me.The walls were decorated with flowers and red balloons. A large tall cake
LIAM'S POVAfter leaving the company premises, a text from Rylan made me drive to Andrew's company. It is going to be fun to see his shocked face once he receives the two shocking news simultaneously.I was satisfied with the expression I saw on his face; now he would realize I was not someone to toy with, and no one had the right to go after my woman. I do not toy with Emily and if she is to be in pain? I should be the cause and no one else.I drove away from his company and drove back to the hospital. Thierry had informed me that Thomas had woken up. Unlike morning when he was scared, he seems to be calm now.I quickly made my way to his hospital room, eager to hear what he had to say Since he wasn't done in the morning. I know this is shocking news because it seems my suspicion was right after all.I went inside the room, Thomas looked up at me with a mix of fear and determination in his eyes.Thierry excused us and went outside; he actually did a good job today."What do you have
ANDREW'S POVI sat in my office, enjoying the quiet morning hours. My cock was throbbing against my trousers when I saw her picture. Emily is a fine woman and I can't wait to have her suck my dick while I will also ram into her pussy. I dipped my hand inside my pants and grabbed my dick. I began to rub it slowly, my precum licking but it wasn't enough. I want to thrust it inside her warm hole.I could feel the orgasm building up, but my happiness was short-lived when my phone rang, shrill and loud.The call is from one of my assistants. I picked up the call and put it on speaker, still masturbating with my dick."Boss, we've got a problem," my assistant's voice was laced with panic and I stopped. I tucked myself back, but I was still fucking hard."What is it?" I asked, my heart racing with the thought of what could have caused the panic in his voice."Someone's raided the business, and all our men are being taken away," he replied, his voice trembling.My anger flared, and I slammed
AYSEL'S POVI was on my way outside to meet my friends when my phone buzzed with an incoming message. I glanced at the screen, and my eyes widened as I saw the report from the man I had hired to follow Emily. He has always been good at his job which is why I can't discard him.The photos showed Liam and Emily talking in the parking lot, their faces inches apart. My anger flared as I realized they were getting closer to me but they didn't kiss.I think this is more than enough to cause a stir online. Liam would try to take action to bring the photos down, but if a different blog posts it, it won't be a problem.I applied my make-up and put on a baggy trouser with a white top. I forwarded the photos to a reporter I knew, along with a message instructing her to upload the photos with a caption that would humiliate Emily."Secretary tries to seduce her boss," I typed and clicked send.I couldn't help but smile as I imagined Emily's reaction when she saw the photos. She would be shocked, a
LIAM'S POVI sat in my study room, staring at the report on my desk and going through it. Thierry already found a link; Thomas was Emily's foster Father before she got adopted by the Brandon Family. My phone rang and I pushed the file aside and picked up the call."Hello, sir," Thierry spoke,, and his words were transmitted to my speaker. "Yes," I replied."Sir, he has woken up now in the hospital room sir. But there was something off about him; he looked scared, and no one could approach him. I am scared he might have lost his memory." Thierry said and a deep frown etched my face. I think he might be faking it.My curiosity was piqued, and I felt a sense of urgency wash over me. "I will be there," I said and ended the call. I grabbed my car keys and headed out to the hospital, the VIP section specifically where Thomas was.I took the back elevator and went into Thomas's room, I was struck by the beeping machines and sterile smell. Thomas's eyes were wide with fear, and he was mutte
EMILY'S POVI stood in front of the window and drew the blinds; the morning sunlight streamed in through the window, and it gave the perfect glow. I was almost done preparing for work, and now it was time to pick out an outfit to wear. My eyes scanned the rows of clothes in my clothes racks, and I finally settled on a short, deep chocolate skirt that fell just above my knees. I paired it with a cream-coloured shirt that accentuated my firm breast, and the shirt hugged my hips.As I got dressed, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. My hair cascaded down my back, and my amber eyes sparkled with a hint of excitement. I didn't even know why I was in a good mood today. I felt confident and ready to take on the day. Even Liam has no effect on me right now.Just then, Chelsea walked into my room, a warm smile on her face. "Emily dear, you look stunning!" she exclaimed and covered a part of her face.Okay, I am getting better than this because if it was any other day, Chelsea would s
AYSEL'S POV“Ride my face till you come, my pretty slut.” Andrew said against my pussy. He licked between my folds and thrust his tongue in. "Ahh," I grind against his face as he laps at my centre. I squirm and moan and tug on his hair until I have him exactly where I want him, his tongue flicking the sensitive spot of my pussy. I could feel my orgasm building up.My thighs trembled against him. He teased my entrance with the tip of his finger and my inner walls clenched around his finger when he sank it inside me. He pushed it in and out, then added another, stretching me so that I would be ready for his huge D. I bucked my hips, chasing his fingers, and his tongue. And when Andrew suction his lips around my clit, it doesn’t take long for me to reach the brink of climax. My breathing became faint as I whimpered softly, and my muscles tensed. And he knows exactly what he needs to do to cross the finish line. Andrew sucked harder as he pumped his fingers in and out until I fell over
AYSEL'S POVI stormed into Andrew's room, my anger and frustration boiling over. The chandelier lights overhead seemed to hum in sync with my racing heart.Andrew looked up from his desk, a hint of surprise on his face. "Aysel, what's wrong?" He asked and closed the laptop in his front.I slammed my hand on his desk, oddly looking at me. "You know exactly what's wrong, Andrew. You didn't help me when I told you to take care of Emily. Now she is taking everything that belongs to me." I yelled and rested my hand on my waist.Andrew's expression turned cautious. "Aysel, I told you, I'm not getting involved in your family drama but I want Emily in my own way."My eyes flashed with surprise. "That's not what you said before. You promised me you would help."Andrew shifted uncomfortably as he cracked his neck. "Aysel, Liam is involved with Emily now. He's the one who's been spending time with her."My anger flared. "You're blaming Liam? You're the one who's supposed to be helping me! I even
