EMILY'S POV The sun already rose from the East when I got ready to get to work. I picked up my bag and car key after bidding Xavier goodbye when he got inside the school bus. Turning the doorknob, my eyes widened like a saucer as if I had just seen a ghost, but it wasn't a ghost; actually, Vincent stood in front of my doorstep holding a bouquet in his hand. I smiled like a baby when he flashed me his brightest smile. “Good morning, Ugly duckling," Vincent said with amusement, and I couldn't hold back my smile. “This is a token of my heart to you," Vincent said, and I took the bouquet from his hand. Thank you, Vincent, I said, smiling while looking at the bouquet. “I came at the right time. At exactly 8 am, I will come to drive you," Vincent said aloud, and I raised my eyebrows at him in question. “What?" I asked, raising my hands in the air in a dramatic way. The corner of Vincent's eyes twitched, looking at me. “That's ridiculous and I won't allow you to do that," I said, my v
EMILY'S POV Vincent's eyes followed my direction. I cussed Liam in my mind before returning my gaze to Vincent. Perhaps, it's time to pay back. After all, Vincent will be coming to pick me up in the evening. I can as well act as if I was into him just to spite Liam — that's if Liam still has any ounce of feelings left in him because I still can't find out his gain for having me here. “I will be waiting till you get back to pick me up. I am going to miss you, Vincent," I said, and before he could reply to me, I closed the distance between us and kissed his cheek. Vincent's eyes glinted with mischievousness but I smiled to ease the tension between us. Maybe he already saw through my attention because he didn't question me. “Take care of your sweet," Vincent said before walking back towards his car, but suddenly, he stopped and walked back to me. My eyebrows raised in question, and at the same time, I felt a cold sweat trickle down my back like a rainfall on a glass window. I knew
EMILY'S POV “What is my schedule this morning?" Liam asked and I turned to face him with my two hands crossed in front of me. “You have a meeting with the company shareholders in the next two hours," I said, looking at him while Liam's eyes were still fixated on the screen. ”Next,” He said still not looking up. I blinked my eyes and parted my lips. “You have an appointment with Mrs Bridget at exactly 2 pm and it will be held in your office room,” I explained. ”Next.” ”The CEO of K & Tee company also scheduled a meeting with you and it will last for an hour.” “Next,” Liam said and I sighed. I already memorized his schedule for today, but who knew that would be the first thing he would ask me this morning? I took a deep breath and tried to rack my brains for what I missed. “Next”, Liam repeated, and this time, he finally looked at me. If I thought I had seen Liam angry, then I was wrong because if looks could kill, I would be six feet under the ground. ”I think that is all Mr.
Call me a Lunatic because the truth is I want to give Liam a slap for calling me a cheating woman when he knows nothing. The fact that he believed whatever lies Aysel told him is still outrageous, considering the fact that I was with him all through and the rare times Vincent appeared varies. “You have know right to say that to me when you are the one having an affair Liam. I only came here as your secretary out of your own will." I said, breathing through my lips as I tried to calm my nerves. ”You signed the contract Emily." Liam interjected, acting as if I plead to him to take me back. If only he knew things won't be the same after the 5 month contract expired. “Because you are threaten me with someone else company Liam. You wanted to ruin what Mr Smith has used his life savings to build. You want to ruin it in span of 24 hours" I spat back with venom in my tone. I tried to adjust my expression, taking in a deep breath while Liam only looked at me as I just said something bad.
It was already three minutes past four in the evening when I left my office room and walked towards the elevator. Time to go home. Liam left before me and he didn't bother to strike up any conversation with me after the heated argument we had in his office room concerning Vincent. I had to admit that he has been acting weird, which is not something I am oblivious to. It's all written on his face compared to in the past when he was good at masking his emotions but things are different now. Maybe it was probably because many years has passed. “Ms Emily, will you be coming to the party? I heard it was thrown because of you" One of the workers working in the management department said, walking towards me. She is a lady in her late twenties with a good petite figure. The kind of shape any man would be crazy for because of the way she carried herself with her stunning walking steps. However, I cleared my throat when I realized she just asked me a question and which party she was talking
”Hello, Aysel," I said with a small smile, clenching my hand against my side while Vincent tried to focus his attention on me, but I doubt it would change a thing because I wouldn't act friendly to Aysel today. “Is there a reason I need to reply to that question you asked?" I asked and shook my head slightly. “I mean, we aren't that close to sharing something personal," I said aloud for her to grasp what I was saying. Liam eyes look in my direction briefly before he suddenly shifts his attention to Aysel. He didn't bother to butt into the conversation to explain himself. Perhaps, he thought I would open my mouth and inform Aysel myself that I am working as his secretary. Aysel laughed cutely, covering the part of her mouth with her hand. ”I'm sorry. It's just that I didn't expect Emily to talk to me that way," Aysel lied through her pretentious face as if I was the wicked person here. I scoffed only to notice a change in her expression. “It wouldn't be hard for you to tell me you
For a second, I thought Aysel was joking but it was all true when I saw the seriousness on her face. ”Is there anything on my face Emily?" Aysel asked with a blank expression. “You coming right? I will text you the location" Aysel said as she walked back to meet Liam. The two said something which my ear couldn't pick up before they got inside the car. Vincent turned to look at me with his eyebrows. I guess he is communicating with me slowly to either come with Aysel or we should ditch her. My phone beeped in my hand. I checked the notification and saw Liam's text on my phone. Aysel didn't have my number, which was why Liam sent the location text himself. “He sent the location. I think we should go," I said, and Vincent nodded his head with a smile. He kissed my hand before he entwined my hand with his and dragged me to the passenger seat. Opening the car door, he pulled the door open, and I got in. Vincent drove the car to the famous restaurant and helped me with the door whi
EMILY'S POV I couldn't hold my anger in as I got up angrily. I wouldn't let Liam and Aysel disgrace me. However, Aysel turned to face me as if she knew what I had planned. Maybe she thought I was going to tell Vincent to stand up from the seat and then I would hug him, but I didn't. “I have nothing more to do here, and if you are that curious to know if he is someone I love, then I will give you the invitation card to our wedding", I said, and Vincent stood up alongside me with a bow to the two nuisance in front of me. I walked out of the restaurant with Vincent, feeling a sense of relief that the uneasiness I felt was finally over. We walked towards the parking lot, and I hopped in. Vincent drove us to my apartment, but my nerves didn't calm a bit as I got out of the car. There is this funny question heating me and I wanted to ask him if my guess was true. I don't want to put Vincent in a tight position. Turning to face him as he closed the distance between us, I asked, "Hey
I knew that name because it was on the list of the shareholder's father.Liam's father was the second on the list, while a foreign name occupied the third one, and Andrew Jones was the fourth person.Rumour has it that he is from Texas, but who knew he already came down here to Los Angeles?”Why are you asking about Liam when you knew who it was.”You seemed to be in love with him which is not something I am concerned about. I need a favour from you," Andrew said, and I wondered what it was.”Which is?" I asked.”Will let you know when I am done with you?" He said and pushed his length all the way in.With each thrust, I moaned loudly. He was attached to playing with me at first but now he is devouring me whole like a beast.I rest my hand on his shoulder, giving him more access to devour me. ”I am cumming" I said, my eyes half open. I salivated and my body shook when my body finally found the release. I moaned loudly, but he didn't stop.Andrew fucked me through my orgasm and I foun
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? I can't

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. The co
