Emily Warner
A knock on the door got me out of my trance, we were in each other’s arms completely drenched in sweat. The room probably smelled like sex since we’ve been going at it since yesterday night.Lucas got up and started to wear his clothes again and I lay back in bed unable to move.I am sorry, but I have no stamina to keep up with a man like that, he is probably a commando or something.God, I know nothing about him.Danika and Emily would kill me if they get to know the kind of person I’ve gotten involved with but I bet they would still prefer this over Hank.“Where is Emily?”“She is not here right now. Can I take a message?” I hear Lucas’s conceited tone.“I am here to settle this man to man. You are not a good guy, Lucas. Stay away from Emily. She is very innocent and doesn’t know anything about us.” I heard Hank’s voice.Why is he here and what was he talking about and what makes him thinRelated chapters

Emily WarnerI could feel a ball in my stomach as I checked out of the hotel. I couldn’t hug Lucas goodbye because it was awkward for me to say things in front of Eleanor. We just did a weird handshake, followed by an awkward wave as I left.I felt sick. I wanted to cry, it felt like I was not going to see him again.The past two months were already brutal for me and now just seeing him for one day and parting ways is just painful.I used to think I was heartbroken when Hank got engaged, but this is actually heart wrenching. I knew in my heart that meeting Lucas again was not going to happen and even if it does, it might take months or even years.What is it about me? How can I be so unlucky?Lucas.I want to be around him. I feel so safe and comfortable around him. He makes me feel loved. I have always felt so insecure while getting intimate with other guys but with him, it feels like he wants me irrespective of all the

Emily Warner“My entire family is here for the wedding. It was always you, Emily but I have a few obligations.” He says as he hold my hands to his chest and I just stare at him.“So you are a bad guy and you are telling me Lucas is also a bad guy like you and this is a bad guy type wedding.” I say as I try to put two and two together.“Umm that’s one way to say it.” He says as he just stares at me blankly, “But I am not a bad guy,I got dragged into this for no reason. I am the only one who can complete this ‘matrimonial alliance’.” He says holding my hands harder as I try to snatch them away.“I don’t believe you. If you knew this environment wasn’t safe for me, why would you invite me to your wedding? Huh?” I ask him and I finally manage to set my hands free.“Because the wedding isn’t unsafe. Nothing bad is going to happen here. A lot of our office colleagues are here too, right? Everything was perfect till Lucas showed up. It’s ju

Emily Warner“Oh my god! Jake! What are you doing here?By the way, did you cut your hair? It looksgood. Also, can you tell Danika to return my salad spinner? Not that I would ever use it but it belongs to me. I like it when people come in my kitchen and see a salad spinner. They will probably think ‘oh she eats healthy and probably is’-““Emily, this sounds like a lovely story but we are in a complicated situation.” Jake says as he looks at me with disbelief and amusement.“I will tell you about it later but what are you doing here?” I ask him as I put my hands on my waist, eyeing the gun in his hand.“Okay, only one of us here is in the wrong place right now and I can bet a million bucks it’s not me, so maybe I should be asking the question.” He says as he looks around while keeping an eye on me.“Oh my god! Are you in the drug mafia too?” I ask him as my eyes widen. “Mafia? How do you know about that?” He asks with shock evident o

Emily WarnerI felt a blinding pain in my head as I slowly tried to open my eyes, everything in my sight was blurry. I rub my eyes to finally make sense of my surrounding to see an old man sitting in front of me. I looked around to see a place much similar to the FBI questioning rooms I’ve seen in movies.“Hello Emily Warner, is it?” He says in a friendly voice as I see a file with my name on it.“It looks like you probably have my whole biography on my hand. Are all files supposed to be so small?” I ask, being thoroughly unimpressed by the one page file in front of me.“No, they are actually around 10 pages long. You seriously have had nothing going on in your life ever. I actually double checked the file and asked my assistant where are the other-““Okay I get it!” I say with gritted teeth.“Like I actually felt a little sad.” This son of a bitch, “Now back to why you are here.” He says making me sit up straight.“I ha

Emily Warner“I am sorry but is ignoring me really the going to solve anything?” I ask for the tenth time as we walk to my apartment. It was 9 pm. They kept me at the headquarters for a few hours almost boring me into keeping my mouth shut.Finally, after asking billions of unnecessary questions, Frank asked Lucas to drop me home and make sure I am in a safe environment.But Lucas was mad at me, like really mad. He is acting as if he doesn’t even know me. I guess I might have crossed a big line here but I don’t know how to make things right now.“Fine! Don’t talk to me, I am crazy I’ll talk to myself…..Lucas please just listen to me.” I say as I pull his big arm, trying to make him stop as he opens my apartment door.“Why should I listen to you? Not like you ever listen to me.” He says in tone which makes the hair on the back of my neck stand.“I am sorry-““No, you are not. Since the minute I met you, I’ve been warning

Emily Warner“So are you going to find me a man?” I ask him as I laugh.“No but just how to maybe end up with the right guy because let’s face it, you run towardstrouble. Hank and then me, it’s like you can’t seem to fall for a man that’s normal.” He jokes making me laugh, the tension in the air goes away as I switch on my phone quickly.“So I will tell you which guy to approach and how to identify what they want and what their intentions are regarding you. Of course, we will work a little on your self-esteem and help you grow.”“Help me grow?” I ask him as I raise my eyebrows, “What’s that supposed to mean?”“Well, you know when a guy doesn’t treat you with respect and doesn’t treat you the way you would want him to treat you? Are you with me?” He asks as he speaks slowly as if I am too stupid to understand him.“Yeah, I am with you.”“So instead of trying to manipulate him into treat you well, you leave immediatel

Emily Warner“I feel like we should reconsider Paris.” I say as we scroll through online dating profiles. Lucas was surprised when he learnt I haven’t tried online dating and laughed unnecessarily loudly when I said I wanted to find love in the old fashioned way.I was about to argue with him but then he asked me ‘where has that ever gotten you’ rendering all my arguments shut.I hate how well he knows me.“Emily, I cancelled the tickets two days ago, its done now, move on.” He says as swipes left for the umpteenth time.“What the hell? That’s the third cute guy you rejected!?” I yell when I realize he hasn’t swiped right even once.“Well, cuteness works with casual things, not when you want something permanent.” I finally breathe out as he swipes right on the first guy.“Okay once you go out with him, half an hour into the date I will approach you like we are colleagues or something so you can tell me how he date is goi

Emily Warner“Lucas.” I say, making him groan as without a warning, he buries his head in my neck making each and every hair on my body stand.“Don’t forget me, okay?” He mutters as I feel him peppering a few kisses on my neck, “It is killing me to even think of another man touching you.” My head falls back as the pleasurably assault on my neck and chest continue as his hands pull my hips into his, making me feel his body heat.“I am still yours, Lucas.” I say as he looks up at me with so many emotions in his beautiful eyes.“You are so beautifully innocent, raw, passionate, kind... you are everything I can never be. Just remember even after I leave, don’t try to change your appearance or yourself at any point. Yes, you are terrifying, sometimes strange and beautiful. Something not everyone knows how tolove.” He says as I feel tears welling in my eyes.I always thought I was unlovable, I felt like I’ve manipulated my way into ma
