Enemies but lovers1 Chapter 9
Chapter 9"You can't use that on me forever. It will grow old at some point and you know it." Hugo said to him with mock bravery.Godson scoffed."Don't let people know of this." He said to Emma and walked out.Emma stood rooted to the ground. What just happened and why was Godson telling her not to fuck things up. Surely Godson knew the kind of person Hugo was before he and her grandfather went ahead with the engagement.Hugo released an annoyed sound and turned to Emma with eyes full of hatred. He held her shoulders in a tight grip and leaned close so she was within hearing distance and so that no one could hear what he was going to say to her. "You stay out of my business and I'll stay out of yours or your grandfather finds out that you are holding the lowest of the low in your stomach." He told her.He released his hold on her and gave her a small smile."Smile, bride. The world can't know we don't really suit each other now, can they?" He asked her with that same smile plastered

Chapter 10"Emma? Can I come in? It's Lydia.""Oh." Emma said as she breathed out a sigh of relief."Come in." She called out.Lydia opened the door and walked in with a small smile on her face."Hey.""What's up?""I couldn't find you downstairs. You k ow the party is for you right?" Lydia asked her.Emma released a tired sigh and folded her arms across her chest. She wasn't so sure the party was for her. It felt more like it was for her family than it being for her."I'm not so sure that's right. There is no way that party…..this party is for me." Emma said to her."Then who is it for?" Lydia asked her. "I don't know. My family? Godson? My grandfather? I have no idea who it's for but it certainly does not feel like a party for me." Emma said to her."So what do you plan to do then?" Lydia asked her."I don't know now. I'm not sure but it still doesnt feel right to go on with this. Do you think I should go ahead with this engagement? I men, I know my family wants this and I can hard

Chapter 11Emma munched on a dry cracker as she busied herself with her work. Due to the plans of her engagement, her work had piled up and she had to catch up with it and make any due appointments as was necessary. She was getting used to dealing with her morning sickness. Eating dry crackers really helped a lot and also drinking ginger ale helped with the nausea. Her day was already planned. Everything was supposed to go according to plan. It was going according to plan except for one little mishap."Um, Miss. Templeton?" Emma heard her assistant ask as he walked into her office.She was about to reprimand him for not knocking before entering but then she saw the look on his face. He looked conflicted but she had no idea why he would be conflicted."Is something the matter?" She asked him.He hesitated as he adjusted his tie. The move irritated her."Can you just tell what the matter is, Timothy or do I have to figure it out myself?" She asked him,her voice was laced with every bit

Chapter 12"Like I said, I came to see you and perhaps my unborn child?" He asked her with a raised eyebrow.Emma sat upright in shock. What exactly did he just say? Could it be possible that he knew? No, that wasn't possible she said to herself with a shake of her head. How will he know? The only people who knew she was pregnant happened to be no more than three but including her, four. There was no way Brandon knew she was pregnant."What did you just say?" She asked him with a raised eyebrow as she gave him a cool look. There was no need to get nervous over a speculation because she was sure Brandon had no idea that she was actually pregnant.Brandon relaxed in his chair and stared at her with a smirk plastered on his lips."You heard me clearly Emma." He said to her,"And I have no idea what you are talking about. Where the fuck did you get the idea that I would be pregnant with your child?" She asked him.Brandon laughed almost immediately after she asked him that question. She f

Chapter 13"You sure took your time in getting here." Brandon said to Emma."I came as fast as I could." She replied to him."Yeah, right." He said to her with an eyeroll.Emma released a tired sigh as she placed her bag on the nearest couch. Brandon stood next to the bar with a glass of whiskey as he observed her."So tell me exactly why you think we should talk here." He said to her as he took a sip of the whiskey."You really did not think having this talk in the office was the best decision ever, right?" She asked him with a raised eyebrow."I don't care and that's the basic truth. And I wouldn't have done that if you had just replied to my texts or answered my calls." He said to her,"And how the fuck was I supposed to know this is what you wanted to talk about? Our agreement had come to an end. There was absolutely no reason for you to contact me." She said to him,"Exactly. Which is why you should have at least sent me a message to put me in my place or something. Did it not oc

Chapter 14"I give up. I'm not dying today." Carson said as he removed his gloves."Took him long enough." Alec said with a small laugh."Fuck you. Try fighting with Brandon then." Carson said to him, throwing the gloves on Alec.Alec turned to Brandon and then back to Carson "I'm not taking that chance please." "Is there something wrong, Brandon?" Kevin asked him quietly.They were currently at the building where Benji and his men trained. It was a routine for Benji and his friends to meet up at least once a week, sometimes more because Benji made it compulsory they learnt kickboxing. Carson had been placed against Brandon. Carson wasn't a good fighter. Brandon was better than him and everybody knew that but this time, Brandon was more brutal. He wasn't giving Carson any chance to land a hit on him which he normally did anytime he spared with Carson."Nothing." Brandon replied to his brother grumpily as he took off his gloves also.He stepped out of the ring and picked up a bottle o

Chapter 15"You look beautiful." Layla said to Emma with a wide smileEmma did not feel beautiful. The dress she wore was lovely and every design and embroidery on it was elegant. She knew it was a dress most brides would be dying to wear. It was an off shoulder dress that spread from her waist down to the floor. Her make up was also flawless but she wasn't necessarily happy about her wedding. She could not shake the feeling that she was making a huge mistake. But if it meant it would save her mother then wouldn't it be worth it? It was a small sacrifice she would pay just to see her mother get better, right?Layla placed her hand on Emma's exposed shoulders. Emma had been so caught up with her thoughts that she had no idea Layla had walked up to her. Layla rubbed Emma's exposed hands as if to rid her of the cold."What are you thinking about?" Layla asked her with a small voice.Emma wasn't sure Layla would understand why she was getting cold feet. The last time she had talked to Lay

Chapter 16There was a flurry of activity in the hall. The paparazzi took up the opportunity to keep on snapping photos. Emma's family stood up immediately she collapsed and rushed to bring her to safety. Brand tried moving with them, to know if she was okay but he should have known there was no way he would be welcomed in their family especially after the stunt he had just pulled."Where do you think you are going?" Godson asked him in anger."To check…..""Don't you fucking dare. You got what you wanted right? You just let the whole fucking world know about this. Isn't that what you wanted? Now get the fuck out of my sight." Godson said to him."You can't….""I don't want to see you anywhere near my granddaughter. If you decide to stay here, then I have no choice but to call security." Brandon heard Templeton say to him.His face was also contorted in anger. Brandon had things to tell them and maybe he could make the man see reason as to why Emma was not a fit to a bastard like that

Enemies but lovers1 chapter 74
Chapter 74"Hey," Emma said to the blonde woman as she took a seat next to her on the bench. She was lost in thought and it was obvious she had been crying. The woman wiped her tears and turned to Emma with a frown.Emma gave her a sad smile. " You are Victoria right?"The woman nodded but she still had a frown plastered on her face. "I knew Hunter. I was in the car with him...he protected me." Emma said to her.Victoria's eyes widened in recognition. "You are Emma? Brandon's fiancee?"Emma chuckled. "Fiancee is a stretch. We are not even dating.""What?""But it's not like I don't want to date him or anything. I do but…." Emma released a heavy sigh. " Can we just talk about the reason I'm here?""I'm all ears. We can talk about anything." Victoria said to her with a small smile."I'm sorry about Hunter."Victoria stared into space. It was clear that Hunter's situation affected her so much."I'm trying to be strong for him," Victoria replied.Emma nodded and they sat together for a w
Enemies but lovers1 chapter 73
Chapter 73Emma cried in relief when she saw Brandon. She wanted to move to him to give him a hug but her hands which were handcuffed limited her movement. Brandon wasted no time in getting it off her and then she was in Brandon's embrace. He held her close, taking in her scent and her face. He inspected for any signs of injury on her body and fussed over her. Emma did not imagine for once that Brandon fussing over her would be something she appreciated. It was obvious he was in love with her. She hated that it had to take a scare before she was finally able to admit to herself that she was also in love with him. She was immediately taken to the hospital and it wasn't until later that she found out that it was because of luck that Brandon had been able to find her. Lydia had been lying when she said the phone was in the building with them. It was a lie and after everything Emma had passed through at the hands of her supposed friend, she wasn't so sure she would be able to forgive Lyi

Chapter 72Kevin was over the moon. Zoey said yes. He was about to tell his friends when he received a call from Benji. The urgency in his voice was what made Kevin move. He had no idea if he would be able to make it in time but he was willing to try. After convincing Zoey to stay, he got into his car and drove towards the direction of Emma's previous home. He hoped he would be able to make it in time. Not just for him but for every single person in their circle who loved her.—--------------------------------------------------------------Emma had no idea how long she would be able to keep up the pretence. With every new information gotten from her ex-best friend, she fought the urge to throw up. How was she so evil and how had she been so blind to everything that had happened? Lydia had wanted everything about Emma. She was so obsessed with Emma that she slept with her cousin while screaming her name. Emma had no idea why Lydia had told her the information. If Lydia thought it was
Enemies but lovers1 chapter 71
Chapter 71Brandon had been so excited to get to Emma. He knew there was no way she would have been expecting him when he showed up at the prison that was if she was still there. He felt the meeting with Mr Chen had been a waste of time. The issues discussed were issues that could have been resolved over the phone but the man had wanted to see them. With every passing minute during their discussion, he had to fight the urge to punch the man's face. At least it is over now.He turned to Kevin who was no doubt texting Zoey."Walk fast, I need to meet Emma." Kevin ignored him and continued texting. Brandon was sure he was chatting with Zoey but he had no idea why his brother was so immersed so he sneaked up to his brother who did not notice and took a glimpse at the conversation."You are planning a surprise for her?""Holy fuck!" Kevin said in shock as he moved away putting some distance between him and his brother."Why are you so surprised?" Brandon asked him."I don't know…because y
Enemies but lovers1 chapter 70
Chapter 70Emma groaned. Her head ached badly. She tried touching her head, as if willing the pain to go away but she could not move her hands. She struggled and found out it was handcuffed to a bed. Emma was widely awake now. She observed her environment. She was on a bed in a very tiny room. She was sure this wasn't the place Hunter had been driving her to….wait, she thought to herself with a frown. What if Hunter had been behind this? She shook her head. That wasn't possible. From the way Hunter had spoken it was clear that he was very much into his wife and family and she was sure Benji wouldn't employ someone who wasn't trustworthy. After a few minutes of trying to determine where she was, she remembered the accident. A vehicle from nowhere had hit them. She had no idea what happened next because she blacked out. That was why her head hurt, she thought to herself. That could be the only explanation. But if there was an accident, what had happened with Hunter? The room in which s
Enemies but lovers1 chapter 69
Chapter 69Emma had no idea what had prompted her cousin to say that but it gave her something to ponder on. Was he talking about Brandon and his friends? No, she shook her head. She was not a good judge of character but she knew this had nothing to do with Brandon. Maybe it was something else? Someone in the future?"Watch where you're going." She heard a voice say to her which made her pause.She took in her surroundings and saw she was headed straight for a wall. The person jogged to meet up with her."The vehicle is the other way. You were so lost in thought." He said to her,Emma gave him an appreciative smile as he led her to the car which was parked on the other side. He entered the car also and turned to Emma."Am I to drive you back home or…."Emma smiled. "Benji said you have somewhere to be so I don't plan on wasting your time." He gave her an appreciative nod but then his phone rang. "I'm sorry, I have to take this."Emma gave him the go-ahead. But he wasn't being secret
Enemies but lovers1 chapter 68
Chapter 68"Thank you," Emma said to Brandon with a smile."It's the least I can do for you, especially after everything that has happened," Brandon replied to her.He massaged her swollen feet delicately and she sighed in appreciation. The last month has been hectic. Her grandfather put up a fight but she had won at the end. They had all won and she hoped that this moment would last forever. With Brandon, his family, and her new friends, everything is peaceful like this. Emma was about to pass out due to the comforting feeling but then the feeling stopped which resulted in her being wide awake."Why?""I heard about your plans. Did you…do you think it's the right thing to do?" Brandon asked her.Emma sighed. She knew Brandon was going to bring the topic up sooner or later. She had finally placed her grandfather in prison where he deserved along with her cousin. While Godson was the lesser of two evils, he was also evil himself and he had been involved in things that had brought him
Enemies but lovers1 chapter 67
Chapter 67 Everything Brandon had told France when he was being held hostage, came to pass. Although his wife and child were not involved in an accident, news about his father's gambling issue became known to the public. Also, the debts his father acquired were made known to the public. He had to admit that he was extremely lucky when he found out that the news regarding his affair with the underage girl wasn't made public. He was in his office, trying to deal with the huge blow against his own company when he received an email. He had no idea who it was from and he could not identify the address. But after going through the contents of the email, he was sure he knew who it was from. Brandon had sent him pictures of all his wrongdoings and he got the message. His life was in Brando's hands. One wrong move and he would be drowning in an open sea. Templeton had contacted him after the statement he had released. The man was furious but France wouldn't let that deter him. Templeton cou
Enemies but lovers1 chapter 66
Chapter 66France stared at Brandon with eyes widened in fear."No, no, no. She is the one who lured me into sleeping with her. I never lured her. It was nothing like that." He tried to reason with Brandon who just gave him a shake of his head and turned to his friend."From the video, it doesn't look like she was willing. This could also be considered rape right?" Brandon asked Benji who nodded with a smile plastered on his lips."Thing is, France, we can let all this disappear with just a snap of our fingers. Give us what we are looking for or it's your head on a platter." Benji said to him.France turned to Brandon. He had no idea why Benji was or maybe his memory wasn't just serving him right. "You think you can get away with this? I know who you are, I can leak this information to the public."Brandon laughed when he heard that. The man thought he was smart? No way. There is no way someone like France would even leak this to the public. For one, no one would believe him and again
