Enemies but lovers1 Chapter 23
Chapter 23Emma opened her eyes. She was having trouble sleeping so a little sound could wake her up at any moment which was what just happened. At first, she thought she was hearing things but then, she heard the sound again. Someone was in her home.There was a bad wood on her staircase. She was supposed to have fixed it but due to what had been going on in her life, she had little chance of doing so. She crept out of bed slowly, making sure not to make a sound as she moved towards her door. It could be Lydia. She thought to herself. Maybe Lydia was playing a joke in her. She looked at the clock next to her bed. There was no way Lydia would be playing a joke on her around two in the morning. Emma moved to her wardrobe and picked up the first thing her hand came in contact with. She waited behind her bedroom door. There was hardly any illumination and using her phone or a torch would give her away especially since she had no idea who was in her home. The person moved quietly but Em

Chapter 24Emma stopped at the entrance of Zoey's home. It was nothing like she had expected. The house looked….normal? She had never been interested in the Silver family and never bothered to take note of their homes. She had pegged them as show offs but she wasn't so sure that was the case at the moment. "This is your home?" She asked Zoey."Well…yes. Is anything the matter?" Zoey asked her."No. It's just….it's not what I was expecting. Um, I hope you don't mind me intruding but…. is this your home or Kevin's?" Emma asked again just to be sure.There was no way Kevin would live in a modest house like this right? Although it was secluded a bit with less people around which was the case for every house in the area but this was too tame. She had been expecting a mansion with a butler or security or something like Godson's home.Zoey chuckled when she finally understood what Emma had meant by the questions. Emma could not believe that Kevin would own a house like this. Well, she wasn'

Chapter 25"What do you mean Emma is here with you?" Brandon asked his brother."Of course. Talk about the lady right off the bat and forget to ask about your sick brother who almost died by his girlfriend's hands." Kevin replied dryly.Brandon released a sigh. He had just come back from Paris, after visiting his parents when Zoey messaged him about running into Emma. Brandon appreciated that she sent him a message but he still could not understand what Emma would be doing in Zoey's home. At the first sight of daybreak, he put on his clothes, got into his car and drove to Zoey's home. "I'm sorry. I had no idea you were sick." Brandon said to him."I think Percy is the reason." Kevin said as the black cat walked towards Brandon who picked it up. It purred when Brandon touched. Running his hand through his fur."Percy is definitely not the reason." Brandon said with a smile."How is it that it likes you but hates me? Why?" "I don't know…maybe because you annoy Zoey?" Brandon asked hi

Chapter 26"Emma?" He asked as she wiped her tears."Why is there a plaster on your shoulder……and your hand?" He asked her once he saw the one on her hand. How had he missed it?"What?" She asked him as she wiped her tears."Were you injured? How?" Emma took a look at the cute plaster on her hand. She was sure the injury was from when the bullet had grazed her. There was no way she was going to tell Brandon that. She had no idea who was behind the attack. Who had wanted her killed so much that they sent people to actually do the job? "Emma?" "Let me down." She said to him,He held her tighter."Tell me what happened." He said to her,"It's none of your concern, Brandon. And let me go." She said to him as she struggled to get off his leg."Emma." "Get your hands off me, Brandon. You can't hold me like this just because….."Brandon moved his hands and touched the plaster on her shoulder. Emma flinched immediately but tried to cover it up. Although there was no need for that because

Chapter 27"I should have known." He groaned out.He took her in. She only had on a leggings and a sweater. His sweater. But he knew there was no need in pointing that out. She had no make up on and her hair was tied in a ponytail. No jewelry or accessories. Nothing at all. Which meant she had finished dressing up a long time ago. Thirty minutes had been too much a long time for her to put on what she had on. She did it on purpose and judging by the smirk on her face and the way she folded her arms cross her chest, she knew. "I told you Brandon, you can't boss me around. You don't tell me what to do." She said to him."It's the hospital, Emma. It's not like I'm kidnapping you or anything." He said to her."Really? I thought with the way you were speaking, you were going to kidnap me." She replied to him with an eyeroll.Brandon sighed again. He had no time for this and he knew Emma was just trying to get on his nerves. Well, he had no time to exchange words with her. He was worried s

Chapter 28Brandon watched Emma with a small smile as she ate the doughnuts. She wasn't a messy eater but she was fast. It was as if she was inhaling every doughnut she picked up and she had instructed him to not say a word as she ate until she gave him the go ahead.Brandon's phone beeped on the table and he picked it up to see it was a message from Benji.Benji: Where did you get this?Attached to the question was a picture of the object they had collected at the hospital. Before moving to the cafe, Brandon had given it to one of his bodyguards who had taken it to Benji immediately. He had a bad feeling about it and he just wanted to be sure what it was.Brandon: Just tell me what it is.Benji: I really need to know how you got this. Are you hurt or injured? Do you need me to tighten your security? Increase the amount of guards?Brandon: Now you sound like Kevin. There's no need for that. Just tell me what it is.Benji: Dude! Are you trying to tell me you don't know? Where the fuck

Chapter 29"You are getting married?" Brandon asked Emma with a small frown.Emma gave him a frown of her own. There was no way she was getting married. At least not that….oh. Her eyes widened when she realized what was going on."Let me see the headline." She told Brandon."Emma….""Just show me the headline. The article. Whatever it is. Show it to me." She said to him and with every word, her voice increased an octave.Brandon wasted no time in giving her the phone. Emma immediately searched for the news and there she saw it. There was a picture of her and Brandon. She had no idea how the press had gotten the picture but it made them look closer than they actually were. And then there was a picture of her and Hugo from the engagement party. There was also a date for the wedding. A date she had no idea about. The last time she had talked to her grandfather which apparently happened to be the previous day, she had walked out on him. On all of them. Emma felt tears pool up in her eyes

Chapter 30Emma finally gathered the courage to step out of the car. There was no way Godson would be in her house. He hated coming to her house. He preferred sending her a message anytime their grandfather summoned her. And besides, there was no need for her to be scared Godson. It wasnt like he was the one who had sent the men who had attached her the previous night right?"Okay, let's do this." She said to herself as she exhaled but then, there was a sudden knovk in the window.Emma flinched in her seat but turned to look at the person who signaled she should let down the window. Emma swallowed. The man looked intimidating with tattoos up to his neck. But something about him seemed familiar although she couldn't quite place it. There was no need being scared, she thought to herself as she opened the door with all the courage she could muster.The man adjusted and gave her space as she came down from the car. He gave her a small smile as he scanned the dress she was wearing. Emma wr

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
Enemies but lovers1 chapter 72
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
