Emily Warner
I swallow hard as I look at the Lachlan enterprise building approaching. I felt Danika rub my back before I got out after saying bye to her. I ignored all my thoughts as walked straight in the building to the cafeteria.I need food to calm my nerves.I avoided greeting people and acted like I was in a hurry. I was in no mood to have small talk about my ‘vacation’. Everyone in the office was just as shocked as me when Hank announced his marriage news. The number of people that came up to me and asked me ‘I thought you weredating Hank’ is countless.Probably everyone knew that I wasn’t on a vacation.“Emily!!! Emily!!!” I look up to see Elizabeth standing in front of me.“Sorry, I think I zoned out.” I tell her but my eyes widen when I see who was approaching us. Elizabeth looked at me confused as her gaze followed mine and landed on Hank.“Emily, I need to see you in my office. I need to talk to you abouRelated chapters
Emily Warner Chapter 19
Emily WarnerI miss Carter.I know, I barely know him and I will probably stop missing him after a point, hopefully.I liked how he was genuinely concerned and how he tried to protect me with no ulterior motive. I hate how safe and happy I was around him. I can’t even tell my friends about it.The story sounds so unreal. Also, they would probably be more concerned about the kidnapping part than me ‘missing’ this guy.Emily, don’t you hear yourself, you sound crazy.I find myself always wondering what he might be up to, I find myself worrying about him, I find myself hoping and praying that he’s safe. Given his job, it pretty easy to get hurt or even killed.God, that’s scary.I look at the time and it’s almost seven pm. No, Emily. You are not meeting Hank.But it’s not like Carter will ever find out? Or even come back for that fact? Or do I want to meet Hank to just see if Lucas Carter comes back?God, I

Emily WarnerI was in shock.Okay I didn’t expect this.Should I run away? What do I do?Why did I come here?God, I suck so much.Emily, he is using your weakness against you.Or maybe he means it? A small voice in my head whispered.“Hank!!” I hear someone call him and my eyes widen as I look at Eleanor standing in front of me.Jeez, why is god punishing me?“Eleanor, what are you doing here?” Hank stutters while standing up as she lays a kiss on his lips.“I told you that I was meeting the girls today, who is this?” She asks sweetly as she looks at me.“Uh she is my closest friend, I was just catching up with her, also inviting her to our wedding.” He rambles as I look at him with disbelief.“Oh of course, you should definitely come to the wedding.” She says, maintaining the perfect beautiful smile as I can’t help but gaze at that beautiful dress that held her petite bo

Emily Warner“Okay, before you guys start yelling at me, I need to tell you honestly what hap-““I can’t believe you met him!” Danika says, and I just huff as I look at Elizabeth, who wasn’t happy either.“Yes but trust me, I wasn’t pathetic and swooning over him like I used to.” I told them but they didn’t look convinced.Of course, they won’t believe me, unless I tell them about Lucas, which is something I just can’t do, “Bottom line is that I have to go to his wedding.” I say and they look at me like I am crazy.Okay fine call me crazy but I have to see Lucas Carter. It’s been two months and now I am losing hope.I wish I could track him down but I can’t so the only solution I can think of is go to the wedding. So maybe he would show up.Yes, I am pathetic.“Emily, I love you but I feel like you are too insecure. You think you can’t get a better man but you can. Any man would love you.” Danika says and I just star

Emily Warner“Okay, but don’t you think seeing that man you were once in love with get married would be difficult to watch. You imagined marrying him. I just feel like this entire thing is going to be very painful for you, sweetie.” Danika explains and I nod my head.“Okay this might be a little hard to believe but since the past two months I’ve actually gotten over him. Yes, maybe there are some dug up feelings that I might have for him but they aren’t as strong as they used to be. I know this sounds impossible to believe but I want to go to the wedding for a completely different reason, which I can’t tell you now, but I will once the wedding is over.”“It sounds like you are going to kill him.” Elizabeth stares at me with wide eyes, making Danika stare at me too.“No I am not going to kill him or do anything with him. It’s completely harmless and no one will be hurt. I promise.”“Fine but right after the wedding you come and meet me, I

Emily WarnerThe nerve some men have of telling me. He says he should’ve been mad at me. For what? I was an absolute fucking delight to him. Him, on the other hand plays, twists and tosses with my feelings like a god damn toy, according to his own convenience.God, I am so mad at him.I was so mad at myself. How could I’ve been so blind that I actually loved Hank! I hate myself for falling for such a shallow and horrible person.And here I am, at his wedding, searching for that beautiful man, who made me feel beautiful and accepted me with all of my many flaws and imperfections.Just one glimpse at him, lord, I swear I will never ask for anything else. Please.I think as I walk to the party dressed in my tight party silver dress and heels that clunked against the glass floor, making me feel like a lead actress in a movie. I was happy that for once my outfit, hair and body corporate and that I looked good.I just hope Luc

Emily Warner“Can you excuse us for a second?” I say with an awkward and deep voice, still too shocked to speak.“Yeah of course, when you come back I’ll tell you about how my brother couldn’t stop talking about you.” She says, making me awkwardly giggle.“Yes, he is your brother and this is not brand new information, just a fact because I knew it.” I babble, making Lucas purse his lips as he holds my arm and leads me to the open balcony.I take visible deep breaths as the cold air hits my face, instantly making me feel better.“You? How- I can’t even- when? Wait! What the actual fuck?” I say as I gasp in air to breathe properly.My mind was in a haze right now. I didn’t know what to do or say.“Ah really Emily? You don’t get to say that.” He says as he approaches me before grabbing my waist and pulling me into him. My hands landed flat on his broad chest as I looked up at those pitch black eyes. I felt my heart rate inc

Emily Warner“Okay, m-maybe we all need to take deep breaths before we do something we regret.” I say as I see how dark his eyes were.Fuck I am so dead.“Oh no sweetheart, you already did something you knew you would regret, now it’s time for the punishment.” He says as he starts walking towards with an intention to grab and put me over his shoulder like a mad man.How can I even fight a man as big as him? Yeah because you don’t want him to fuck you.My conscious says sarcastically, making me want to smack her across her head. It’s my life, I can be as dramatic as I want.“I am sorry Lucas, I didn’t-“ I start but he cuts me off with devilish hot smile across his face, making me want to squeeze my thighs together.“Don’t apologize to me. I can’t be happier that this happened. I finally get to ravage you while you have no choice but to take it all in.” I gasped at his filthy words.Gosh, he has never talked to me like

Emily WarnerI felt his hands reach the back of my dress to unzip it and slip it down. Lucas’s eyes darkened as he took in the naked beauty right in front of him.“God, I’m going to ravish all of you tonight.” Lucas growled, and I felt the strongest urge to squeeze my legs together. He continued his assault on the skin of my neck but this time slowly edging southwards, causing me to struggle under his touch.“Keep moving like that and I’ll make sure I leave you incapable of walking tomorrow.” Lucas rasped into my ear, making my back arch at the tone of his voice.His mouth traveled lower as his lips captured my pebble-hard nipples, making me moan out in pure bliss. He seemed way too satisfied with my reaction as he continued to suck on them. The torment was making it too hard for me to stay still.And that's all it took for Lucas to get up, making me look at him in panic. I saw him reach his suit jacket to take something out of his pocket
