She stared back at her cell phone and there was a text message written boldly in block letters on the screen. She hesitated for a while before parting her lips."I guess I will have to go out now," She said but Ashe couldn't catch the expression on her face.She just came and she is leaving? what in the world is going on with her? Ashe made a confused face glaring at the door.Emma just arrived in their two-bedroom apartment, In less than thirty minutes a text showed up on her phone and she had to run like an errand girl. Ashe felt something was wrong If not why isn't she talking?Emma strode into a fancy restaurant. She was not sure who the sender of the message was but she had to obey because the text was not a request and that only mean Maxwell was the sender if her thoughts were to be right."miss you can't go in" an attendant stopped her at the entrance. She looked questionable at the man. He was dressed in a white suit and black long pants with a shiny
**Emma descended the notches wearing black shorts with a yellow off-shoulder top. She sat contrary to Ashe at the dining table. Ashe placed the toasted bread in her hand on the white plate in front of her." what is the thing between you and that bossy man you call your boss?"Ashe stared at her beautiful face that displayed no confusion nor guilt. She was expecting to see complicated emotions but Emma was showing non. "nothing serious," she said calmly chewing the food in her mouth. Telling her crazy friend about how the man was blackmailing her would only put her effort to waste. Ashe can do all sources of crazy stuff except killing and those crazy things might put her in trouble if she crosses paths with that bloody killer."how about last night, you left me here all by myself without a word" Ashe complained. Emma smiled at her. She was in a bad mood cos of what she saw the previous night but with Ashe around, how can she maintain the same mood throughout? Ashe w
Kings mansion **There was a dinner party among the King family and Kan family.The two families were seated around a large rectangular table with a blue lace cover in the King's beautiful garden. There were eight chairs in all but one was empty because the lion didn't present himself." Nash dear, how did the dinner go? I hope you two make everything soon" grandma smiled at her so call granddaughter in law. She was seated on the right side of grandma's, followed by his darling brother, Collins Kan. Memories of the dinner night rushed back, anger formed in her but there was no way she would admit it before them. Not when both families were getting used to the upcoming bond. She was confident that Maxwell would not resist her. She believed she was going to have him all to herself and not that lowlife fellow." yes grandma, Mr. King treated me well?" she smiled back at grandma who was creasing her left hand on the table. Grandma King stared at her with adoration a
He stood behind the glass barrier without a shirt on with his hands dipped in his pocket. He started at her from the crystal glass with no expression. He was not interested in playing along.Maxwell was not the talking type, he was a man of action.Nash was not willing to exit the place until she see Max. she was worried for nothing"can't you guess why am here? do I look like a trespasser or are you, people too dumb to recognize who I am?" she stare at the blackguards, nothing seems to push them. Her words appeared to fall on deaf ears. their hands existed at their back with their heads a little low." what!!? are you not going to open the gate for me? "she shouted, sounding angry." we are sorry Miss "one of the blackguards apologized" wow! see who is apologizing " there was sarcasm showing on her face and annoyance in her voice."don't blame me if you end up losing your job" she threatened, pointing finger at the two guards in front of her.The guards were carrying o
He stared at the two men with no emotion, he was not surprised. He knew better how reality can be very challenging.If not then why would mere citizens attempt to kidnap their president's daughter? yes their president, not his, because he was a president on his own. He was the ruler of his world.A man feared by the devil, chosen by God, is Maxwell King. Nothing goes on in the city without his notice. Whatever bad deeds that go on were because he tolerated them.No need to waste time on them. He nodded to his men and the two men were locked in the car with a fire burning them to ashes." boss..."Maxwell glared at the guard"send her home" there come his cold voice. And proceeded toward his car with a guard behind him.****old-timers barEmma looked around the bar, she was wearing a blue straight dress with brown heels boots. She spotted the person she was looking for and walked straight to the other side of the bar., where she was comfortably seated"
Joana spoke with tearing eyes. Emma leaned in and hugged her" it's fine, let's leave the past to rest in the past" she spoke calmly with emotion. Her past life was nothing to remember."Emma, you are your mother's daughter. Aunt Mariana would be very proud of you if she was to see you right now. Despite all that happened to you, you still managed to fulfill your dreams. Am extremely happy for you" She praised her in between sobs.Emma had always wanted to work in a big company and get married to the most handsome man in the world whereas Joana wished to exist as a famous actress but hers was not in reality yet."I hope we could do this more often," said Emma. She enjoyed her company."Hello, hello...hello""Stop being paranoid" Joana hissed annoyingly holding her cell against her ears with a rough face."did you get to meet him?""stop being ignorant! how can I meet somebody like Maxwell King without a plan? dummy" she was pissed off by her unreasonable q
She strolled out of her car elegantly and traced her steps towards the tallest building in the city, the multi-billion company of the Kings family. She wore a blue shining dress with her shoulder-level raven hair moving freely behind her as the air blew smoothly around her with two guards following "miss, please how can I be of help to you?" the security guard in his white uniform said respectfully with a slight bow. She stared at him in scorn " am here to see your boss" she finally put her mouth to use and walked to the receptionist "madam please do you can an appointment?" inquired "why should I book an appointment when am not here for business""sorry mam but I can't let you in without an appointment," she said apologetically. She knew who Nash was as much as she wanted to get to her good side she can't put her job at risk. The manager does not tolerate mistakes.She was just an employer and a law abider. . Just then Jude appeared from the elevator" what is goi
Damie island**"Seriously?" she laughed at whatever he said to her. They took their time strolling along the beachside, Emma was blooming. She loved the sea, the beach, the fresh salty air, and everything.She stared at the green sea and remembered the first day she met Maxwell and the day he became part of her fantasies.It was two years ago, around 7 pm. That was when Ashe got the endorsement as an international model after two months of joining the industry after she completed college. Emma wasn't able to complete that year with the rest of her colleagues because she owned the school so she decided to work and stay and then wait for the next year to partake in the final exams cos the fee was too expensive for her and she was also owning some fees.Ashe's new life did the call even though she was down that year. That same year was when she was thrown out of their house and thanks to Ashe, she did not get to experience street life. Even though her life was wors
Maxwell was holding her close to himself, his eyes bored into hers "are you okay?" there was fear in her voice. She feared he had been shot again. He smiled at her as if everything was okay.Another gunshot broke the silence, he shot a pin at the shooter. The same man who released the first bullet.He held his side stomach covering the bullet wound.Alex threw him a punch which landed him on the floor. He stood and blocked his next punch throwing him on the bed.Alex threw his leg which ended on his stomach, he quickly bounced In him hitting him like a punching bag. Maxwell was weak because Of the two bullets in his body. He was losing blood"please stop!!"Emma screamed at the top of her voice crying like a little girl.She continued pleading for Alex to stop, Maxwell was bleeding, and he is losing consciousness.I have to do something, I need to save him.No I can't let him kill him.Her sight fell on the gun beside the jerk that Maxwell killed with a pin. Without hesitation, she relea
"Did you find anything?" he asked Sampson who was behind the typing guy in a cold tone" we will find her" he assured him"boss, it seems they used multiple means of transport"the guy sitting behind the laptop said."so are you suggesting they took her out of the country?" the guy nodded.Yes, that is what he needed to know" where are you off to?"Sampson asked the angry Maxwell. He was sure if he doesn't do something this guy would not hesitate to burn the whole city" she needs me"there comes his cold voice.Sampson sighed, thanks to Emma he is now used to his other self and tired of his cold personality." where are you starting from?" he ask but he strode out of his sight not even bothering to look back.He knew Alex was playing games with him. He wants him to think he migrated with her but he already knows what he is trying to prove.He rode in his car heading to the southern side of the city. This is his first time driving without his men behind him.He knew where to find Alex after d
Mrs. King? where is that Mrs. King? She stared around to confirm what the lady said. But there was no one in the room except for herself and Maxwell and of course, the service lady who is now at the door. She was confused about what she meant by that. Did she refer to her?" I think there is a mistake here" she said but before anything else, Maxwell took the bag from the lady"thank you sir" she said with a dry smile before moving her heels. Emma raised her chin only to his heating gaze. He was standing spaceless behind her looking down at her"don't you like your new name"?" he asked calmly as if it was normal. Emma was still not getting what was going on "dress up" he gave her the bag and headed to his seat with a smile without any explanation.He instructed his men to take her home because he had meetings to attend. Emma stared at him as if she didn't want to leave his side" I will see you again" he said lovely and held her head against his chest. Did she want to ask him when? where?
He kicked the bathroom door open, Emma's hands were around his neck with her left breast pressed to his naked hard muscle chest. His face was all that she kept staring at until she heard the door unlocked.Her mouth was left open for flies to enter if there were any.Really!!!!She blinked like seriously!!oh God, the bathroom is times two of the bedroom!! the white walls seem clean and untouched as if nobody had settled there before. The bathtub was as big as a double bed, it can even contain three people who are as tall and broad as him.She swallowed hard to dry her mouth when she thought about how close their body is to each other.He walked her to the already filled tub and placed her gently in it as if she was a softshell or something. Her attention falls on the different types of gel and shampoo at the far edge of the tub. She wondered if her brand was in, she gazed at them searching for the right one to use. She suddenly covered her chest wi
She rolled on the huge bed with a wide gray blanket spread over her body. The light in the room rained on her beautiful face though it was not morning the brightness of the room said otherwise. She rolled her fragile body to the end of the bed with her eyes still closed. Her black long hair covered her face.She struggled for a while before she was able to open that eyes of hers and clear the sleep off her sight.She scanned the room, the white curtains, the white sofa, and the full-length glass window that displays a very beautiful view of the city were not in line with the familiar things in her mind records.She wondered what happened and how she ended up in such a place, just then last night images started loading up.She recalled drinking two glasses of wine which flamed a certain desire in her. She felt hot and her core started aching all of the sudden breaking cold sweat on her body. Joanna left her in a room after the party saying someone would attend to
" Why don't you ask me anything you want ?" he gave her ' the go-ahead look but Emma was hesitating as if afraid to say something.He wanted to disclose the secret before her but didn't want to be the one to provoke it. At least she should ask and he would answer with honor. Now his lips are on hers, she couldn't even resist him.The kiss began from passionate to deep kiss. He bit her lip which was undoubtful bleeding, she tried pulling away but he held her tightly by the waist "are you still running from me?" he asked in between kisses. His voice was hoarse, he is already turned on.She had done the magic. He pulled away and gazed at her wounded lips "that is your punishment for avoiding me" he said licking her bottom lips which had his biting on.His ringing phone distracted him. He pulled it from his pocket and held it against his ear, his left hand on her waist and his gaze on her, watching her every move.Emma was melting in his arms, her legs felt
She stared at his expressionless face. He gazed at her softly extending a hand for her to take it.She stepped out of the car ignoring his attention.That is the last thing she needed. She was doing everything to keep a space between them, after finding out he was married.She never bothered to ask or inquire about whoever she is since she could easily guess and get the answers.He stared at Sampson and lead the way to the Kings Mansion.His grandparent seeks his present to clarify something.Emma stared at Sampson with a beautiful smile and followed Maxwell.Great! it's dinner time and she has to join in. Her discomfort surfaced" no one is going to eat you alive"Maxwell's cold voice sounded in her ears."Welcome son" the old man tapped his shoulder and led them to the dinner where the family had gathered.He pulled a chair for Emma, she glared at him for a while before occupying it. All eyes were on them as if they were newlywed couples.She lowere
She uncomfortably tosses In the bed as if having a nightmare with a little sweat on her forehead as sharp breath escapes her lips constantly with her eyes close.She flipped her eyes open in horror. She sat on the bed with her eyes roaming the room, she placed her left hand on her chest and sighed a relief when she realized it is just a bad dream.But her heart was not settled. She started wondering if. Maxwell is alright. She laid back on the bed staring at the ceiling as if in deep thought, she blinked a few times. Sleep Is out of her reach.Who would sleep after a horrible nightmare? considering her nightmare she was not comfortable.She sit back on the bed and left to the washroom after a while.She was unsettled, remembering the pain she saw in his eyes when they were heading back to the private island, something was not going on well with him, and her heart was feeling his pain.He decided to take her with him since trouble seems to follow her all
The door was batched opened violently the moment he laid his filthy eyes on her breast with three men standing on guard with their heads held low.Jonas was caught off guard and attempted to use Emma as a hostage as he recognized those men but Maxwell walked in elegantly with an expressionless face in his all-black style as usual.He pointed his gun at him"boom" the bullet pierce through his arm, the hand that he was going to use to hold her. He winked in pain and moved back from her as blood oozed out.He strode toward her and covered her with the blanket and carried her out of the hotel room to his car. She stared at him feeling happy, her heart was beating very fast and she got afraid thinking he might hear. It has been a while since she saw this handsome face. She wanted to hug him tight but he is her boss.She couldn't stop staring at him for only god knows how much she has missed those lips, the way he force his lips on hers and how possessive he was with
