EMILY'S POV

Mr Smith didn't send for me until everyone began to go their separate ways. Chelsea came to my side and tapped my shoulder lightly.

“You ran away for your dear life, huh? Let's get going before I bump into him again." I said and Chelsea grinned as she kissed my cheek lightly.

”I am so sorry. I actually saw someone I knew so I couldn't call your attention. Also, it was a surprise to see Liam here" Chelsea said and kissed my cheek again.

“I will forgive you just this once. I was able to make some friends, though," I said as we both made our way outside.

Someone bumped into me, and I almost fell, if not for Chelsea, who helped me out.

I was expecting the person to apologise only for me to see that it was a man.

He was putting on a face cap, wearing a black Polo shirt and his breath reeked of alcohol.

“Aren't you going to apologise for bumping into her?" Chelsea demanded in a clenched tone and I couldn't help but caution her a bit.

The man bowed his head before disappearing

    I got to my workplace early today to hear about the good news. I haven't settled down in my seat when I receive a call from the Team leader.“Go to the CEO's office. I was told to direct you there," The team leader said, and I stood up from my seat to obey his command.I took the elevator and stopped when I got to the first floor. This is the first time I will be coming to this place. Despite the dags I have used here, I didn't come to this particular floor.Taking a deep inhale, I knocked on the door and met the receptionist at the door when I got in.“I want to see Mr Smith," I said and the receptionist took the phone, “Your name?" She asked.“Emily," I replied, and she put a call through. When she dropped the call, she faced me.“You can go in. He is waiting for you" “Thank you," I muttered before going towards the entrance. I pulled the door open and stepped in. My eyes took in the serene environment as I looked around.“Yes, I sent it for you, Miss Emily," The man said,d, and I

The way the fire in her eyes burns ferociously as if she is going to destroy me on the spot.I must admit that she is far different from beforeIf this decision of mine will let her stay stuck by my side, then I am ready to do it again. She will have to work alongside me in this same company she so much despised.I heard the solemn knock on the door before the door was pulled open, and Thierry walked in his long strides.“Sir" He began as he walked closer to me. “She arrived safely to her ride and I didn't tail her further because you instructed me not to," Thierry said and I nodded my head.“What about Smith?" I asked, and Thierry presented the document he had been holding in his hand to me on the table.I checked the files, my eyes scanning through the pages until I saw his signature. Good.“This is the file, and he agreed to all yo

I clicked on the doorbell and it rang.The door was pushed open, and Chelsea's face popped up behind the door. She was wearing short jersey knickers and a crop top.”Emily, you came," Chelsea said as she made way for me to come in. Today, however, my chest felt tight as if the weight of the world pressed down on me as I walked inside.“Is everything okay?” she asked and I nodded hesitantly, trying to muster a smile, but it didn’t reach my eyes. “Yeah, I just... I need to talk to you” I said.Chelsea accompanied me to the sitting room, where the familiar scent of porridge greeted me but I wasn't hungry.“Sit down. You look like you’ve been carrying a heavy load. Let me get you some tea.”I perched on the edge of the plush couch, my fingers fiddling with the hem of my dress. Chelsea soon returned with two mug

    EMILY'S POVTonight, I knew it would be hard for me to sleep, especially when Xavier refused to sleep alone in the room I decorated for him. Instead, he insisted on sleeping with me in my room. After helping him to sleep in the space next to me, I couldn't help but take out my phone. The screen lit up and I went straight to my Inst@gram account. I typed Liam's name on it and waited for it to pop up but there was no one with the account except a few other profiles. What am I even thinking? Liam will never open an Inst@gram account unless it is a fake account with a different name. If I want to find more information then I will have to search for anything about Liam. I need to look up Aysel's name First.I typed Aysel's name in the search bar and her profile was the first thing that popped up with several pictures of her.My curiosity tugged at me and I had to look up every picture.

    EMILY'S POV Liam took a step closer towards me but instead of walking back, I stood my stance with my chin held high. “What makes you think I wouldn't dare if you don't cooperate with Emily?" Liam asked, his head bent to match my height. I swallowed hard at the proximity, my emotions almost getting the better part of me, but I remained still on my poise to not get affected by him. This cruel man has caused me so much harm and I don't think I am ready to go through the same pain again. “I came early like you said," I said with a shaky breath, goosebumps forming on my skin when his hand grazed my neck. “So, I think you should keep your promise," I said and Liam's expression changed as he dropped his hand to his side. It was filled with amusement. “When did I make that fucking promise to you Emily?" Liam asked, his hand tucked inside his pocket as he cocked his head to the left. Liam took several steps back away from me, and that was when I let out a long breath that had been hitch

    EMILY'S POV Blood almost drained from my face when I heard Laura's words. It might have sounded sincere to almost everyone seated at the table right now if they heard her but I know this was an insult to me. She was right. What am I doing with my ex-husband in a restaurant at the same table? Liam ordered what he wanted to eat, leaving both me and Laura alone. He didn't even try to clear the misunderstanding. Instead, he took out his phone and began to scroll. Acting as if he didn't hear whatever Laura said. “I came here because I am Liam's sec..." ”We have things to discuss, mother. Is there anything wrong with that?" Liam asked, cutting me off before I could complete my statement. That son of a bitch. I thought he was going to act dumb in the first place. ”Oh..." Laura said, faking a laugh but Liam saw through her. “Emily, I mean, this is not making sense Liam. Didn't you both divorce?" Laura asked and this time, I was the one who replied. "It is a personal reason, Mother, a

    I relaxed back into the chair, watching as Liam's expression didn't change one bit after what Mr Smith said. Liam leaned back into his chair, a look of interest on his face. "Of course, Mr. Smith. What can I do for you?" Mr Smith took a deep breath before launching into his explanation. "My business is doing well now," he said, a hint of pride in his voice. "But I've been thinking a lot about my personal life, and I've decided that I want to leave my position and sell the company." Mr. Smith repeated as if it was a sentence he had memorized over and over again. I part my lips to say something. I wanted to ask him why he suddenly decided to quit after putting me in this mess. I tried to negotiate with Mr Smith in the first place, and he made a terrible mistake by sending me to Liam. The truth is, I want to know what Liam threatened him with for him to release me in one go. However, whatever I was planning to say got caught in my throat the moment Liam's hand shot out, his fingers

    I sat at the table, my mind racing with thoughts of frustration and annoyance. Why had I signed that contract in the first place? I blamed myself for being so stupid, for not thinking things through. I couldn't take it anymore. I picked up my bag and stood up, my eyes locked on Liam's face. "I'm out of here," I said, my voice firm. Liam looked up at me, a hint of surprise in his eyes. But he didn't say anything, just watched as I walked away. What did I even expect the devil of a man to say? That he would sympathise with me and tell me to forget the contract? He is enjoying this. I stormed out of the restaurant, feeling a sense of relief wash over me as I stepped out into the cool air. I hailed a taxi and got in because I didn't bring my car along. It was all because of Vincent after all. The driver asked me for directions which I told him before the car drove off. I glanced through the open window, enjoying the view, but that was all a lie; I was burning inside. Liam didn't com

    EMILY’S POVLiam might have called it a masquerade party but the truth is, I didn't actually put my hopes up. Maybe it was because I actually believed nothing could come out of this.However, the moment we walked inside, my jaw dropped when I saw the interior design of the hall. Different artworks were actually painted in another part of the hall while a stunning chandelier hung on the ceiling with different spectra of light coming dispersed out of it A gush of confusion flooded my veins when my eyes took in everyone's dress. It felt as if we were all thrown back to the season of Halloween. “Can I?” Liam asked with his arm curved up. His gaze brought me back to earth and I hooked my palm around his arms.Everything seems to stop when we walk in as if I am the only pretty girl in here. We were even putting on masks and I could barely recognise anyone through the mask if not because they spoke.Was it actually true that it's where a gentleman will probably propose to his wife?

    Vincent agreed to come and pick me up in the evening after we ended the call. I called Chelsea to take Xavier away to her House because I will be busy which is a lie. I returned the phone to the lady at the receptionist and walked back to my office room. I received a message from Liam to come into his office room. I walked into Liam's office, wondering what he wanted me to do. He was sitting behind his desk, a stack of documents in front of him. "Emily, I need you to pick up some documents for me," he said, not looking up. I nodded and walked over to the filing cabinet. I asked for the particular one he wanted, and he mentioned it, which I helped him to find. As I handed him the documents, he looked up at me and smiled. "Thanks, Emily. By the way, I have a surprise for you." I raised an eyebrow, wondering what it could be. "What is it?" I asked, my heartbeat pulsating with the continuous flow of blood. "We have a place to attend tomorrow evening," he said, his eyes sparkling wi

    Avery used every ounce of her strength to run into the woods. She has been running for some minutes, not taking a break for once.She didn't offend anyone, so who could want her dead? She didn't stop running as she occasionally glanced at the screen of her cellphone. Just when she looked back, the three men were already close to her. Judging by the way they dressed, she figured out they were probably a thug or something."What do you want?" Avery asked them, and her chest rose and fell simultaneously. Her hands kept shaking and her leg wobbled slightly but she steeled herself.She had to stop running, knowing fully well that they would soon get close to her. "Tell me, who sent you?" Avery asked with so much bravery but inside, she was weeping silently and praying for a breakthrough. Her heels hurt her feet but she was all alone in the wood. She dialed Sebastian's number and waited for him to pick it up but the men were already closer to her. "Look, she is trying to call someone!"

    Sebastian cradled Avery in his arms as he headed towards the back door of the mansion. The lights were already on, which made it easier for Sebastian to walk freely into the spacious sitting room. He walked into his room, shutting the door.Sebastian carried Avery into his bedroom in a bridal style and gently laid her on the bed. Sebastian walked into the bathroom and quickly prepared a hot bath.His blood was still boiling in rage. He didn't want to lose Avery the same way he lost Celine.Sebastian came back into the room and took Avery inside the bathroom.Sebastian placed Avery into the warm water, and her eyelids fluttered open. She shivered in the water as her lashes began to shake.A sign that she was not fully awake. Sebastian took in a deep breath as he watched Avery's face."I...I'm...." She shuttered, not knowing where she was."You are safe. I will take care of you now" Sebastian petted her but Avery's heartbeat began to accelerate in her chest.Sebastian heard every beat

    Avery left the room after applying make up on her neck to hide the hickeys. She stepped into the photoshoot room fidgeting.She was embarrassed and shy when she saw few men in the room, decorating the photoshoot room with the necessary equipments."You can get into the bath tub now," The photographer instructed Avery and she complied nodding in affirmation. She sank into the bath, allowing the warmth to seep into her pores. The coldness of the water cradled her, soothing her muscle and calming her nerves. "Please relax and gently rub the foam around your shoulders"Avery complied and shots were taken. After trying different posture and styles, she was asked to stand up holding the soap in her hand. The background music song was played."I think we are done here" The photographer said and the prop applauded Avery.Calhoun walked in just in time to see Avery only in a bikini that exposed her hourglass curves and plump round boobs(note breast, is a turn-off for me)He clenched his han

    I sat back down at my desk, trying to shake off the feeling of unease that had settled in my stomach after my encounter with Liam. I pulled out my phone and opened up Instagram, scrolling through my feed to distract myself.Perhaps he was trying to get on my nerves by acting like he cared. I don't know what the workers were busy talking about now but I doubted it could be something else apart from me.As I scrolled my Instagram page, I noticed a message in my inbox from an unknown account. Though my fans message me to praise me about my books and all. Maybe this was also one of them.I raised an eyebrow, wondering who could have messaged me at this time. I opened up the message, and my heart skipped a beat as I read the words on the screen."Hi Emily, I've been watching you. You're a beautiful writer, and I love your work. Would you love to be my girlfriend? I love the outfit you wore today" I felt a shiver run down my spine as I read the message, my hands trembling and I had to put

    The phone rang, shrill and insistent, and I picked it up, my heart sinking as I heard Aysel's voice on the other end."Emily, I need to see you," she said, her tone curt and commanding. "Meet me at Father's company in an hour."I hesitated, feeling a surge of anxiety at the prospect of facing Aysel again. But something about her tone made me feel like I had no choice."Fine," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "I'll be there."As I hung up the phone, I felt a knot of tension form in my stomach. What did Aysel want to talk about? And why did she sound so angry?I arrived at the company an hour later, my heart racing with anticipation. Aysel was already there, pacing back and forth in front of the reception desk."Emily, thank you for coming," she said, her eyes flashing with anger. "I think it's time we settled this once and for all.""Settled what?" I asked, feeling a surge of defensiveness."Don't play dumb, Emily," Aysel sneered. "You know exactly what I'm talking about.
