Ethan's POV I saw Emma sleeping on the couch. So I walked to her. I run my hand through her hair. And she woke up. "You missed me?" I teased. She hugged me. Cupped my cheeks, Kissed me and sympathised with me. She tried to console me. Somehow it worked. "Albert told me you called him. Thanks.". Come. Let's get a good night's rest. We shall talk tomorrow" I held her hand as we walked upstairs. Emma went back to sleep. I couldn't get a sleep. So many thoughts filled my mind. The thought of Elisa asking for her share of property. The thought of the fact that I just lost my grandfather. And, the thought of being all alone is hurting me. Then, I turned to my beautiful woman who was sleeping peacefully. I tucked some strands of her hair that covered her face to the back of her ear. She moved her body and buried her head in my chest. I smiled. For a minute. Looking at her made me forget all my worries. _____ A few weeks have passed after my grandfather's burial. The stress wa
Emma's POV I have been working at LAVEDA Hotel and Suites for about a year now. Through those months, I had seen and met with people. Especially the senior managers of TLMC. But, never have I come across our CEO until last month. My CEO, who is now my Contract husband and a man I now have strong feelings for, is right here sitting by my side, my hands wrapped around his waist while my head is resting on his chest. We are in a convoy of six cars, going to LAVEDA. He refused to let me go back to work on my own. He said he wanted everyone to know that I was his. His words gave me some kind of boldness and assurance. I just have to accept the truth now. I am Mrs Williams. It doesn't matter if it is a contract marriage or not. The marriage is real. We arrived at LAVEDA and the Hotel President and other senior managers were outside waiting for our arrival. It makes me feel special. I adjusted myself as soon as we reached but before Ethan let go. He gently kissed me. Then, the door w
Ethan left his wife's office to go to his office. Genna formally introduced herself to her new Boss. "Good morning, Madam. I am Genna Bricks, and I am your new PA". "What was that?" Emma reacted. "I prefer to work under you, Emma. Do you understand?" Emma's brows furrowed. She still doesn't understand what was going on. But, she asked anyway. "What's going on, Genna? Please, don't hide anything from me. Did Ethan demote you?". Genna was shocked at Emma's question. She walked close to her and sat on her desk. "No. Why would you say that?". She sighed and continued. "Ok, listen. Your husband had a meeting with all the executives of TLMC. I was also invited which was somehow weird if you ask me. But, I was honoured to be in the midst of those great men". She paused. Emma was still confused and couldn't wait to understand everything. "Your husband is going to take his grandfather's place as the Chairman of TLMC". "Then, who is going to be the CEO?". Emma asked. "You". Gen
Emma's POV I got out of the bathroom, and my body was wrapped in a big, fluffy white towel. I entered the enormous, spacious walk-in closet that I now share with Ethan. Looking at my side of the closet made me think about how things changed overnight. I sat on a small stool trying to select what to wear. As I brought out a free gown. A black scarf drooped to the ground. I picked it up and sniffed it. It's Deborah's scarf. It was the same scarf she tied on her head the day she breathed her last breath. I remember her last word to me. (Flashback Seven years ago) "Emilia. Please, take good care of my daughter in case I don't make it out of this place. Make sure she doesn't lack anything. Treat her like your own and give her a better life". "D, what nonsense are you saying? You will get well. The doctors assured us. You will take care of your daughter yourself, you hear me. Don't ever think that you will die". (End of flashback) I don't know why I had to remember that day. I
Emma's POV Ethan is a very energetic man. He has a lot of stamina and my body suffers this the most. Tonight was supposed to be me being in charge. But, to my greatest surprise. He took over and pounded into me in different rounds and different positions. That is crazy. Ethan will be the death of me, and I can't get enough of him, and I know he can't get enough of me also. We were made for each other. He is a loving husband and a fantastic father. He has been nothing but good to Elizabeth. "Are you ok? ". He asked putting wet kisses all over my face. "Ye.... a". I giggled. "Come, let's go to sleep". He leaned forward to kiss me. This time it was brief. He pulled the covers over our bodies and we both slept off. Birds chirping filled my ears and I opened my eyes to see another beautiful day. The rays of the sun were radiating heat into the room through the uncovered glass wall in the room. I looked around and Ethan was not in the room. My feet touched the flo
Emma's POV The Range Rover's back door was opened for me as I walked closer. There stood a very tall handsome younger man beside Albert. "Good morning Mrs Williams". Albert greeted. "Good morning Albert. And, who is this young man?". I returned his greeting and asked about the new face beside him. "His name is Alvero. He is Italian. He will be working directly with you henceforth". He introduced him. "Alvero. This is Mrs Williams. She is your direct boss. I hope you'll protect her with your life ". He told the new bodyguard. "I promise to protect you, ma'am. It's a pleasure meeting the most beautiful woman on this planet". He said and bowed. Emma laughed and replied. "Don't flatter me Alvero" "I don't flatter ma'am. It's the truth. At least, to me". He replied. "Ok, thanks for the compliment Alvero. I hope you do a good job". I spotted a white Cadillac Escalade which I hadn't seen here before. Albert followed my gaze. "The boss sent it a few minutes ago. He said to t
Emma's POV After I returned from my father's house. I decided to cook dinner myself. My father loves the gift I gifted him. He wanted to meet Ethan and honestly, I would like that. The food is ready. I decided to cook seafood pasta. I also cook prawn sauce with rice. I grilled us a chicken which I have been craving for a while now. Our salad is ready and we are done here. After making a watermelon juice. I hurried upstairs to freshen up. Leaving the maids to clean and do the rest of their Jobs. I had my bath in my former room. I dried my hair. Do my normal skin routine. And I was done. I looked for something simple and light to wear. And I saw a beautiful Jumpsuit Ethan had bought for me. I liked it and I wore it. It looked good on me as I looked in the mirror. Elizabeth was with her Nanny. She is getting used to her I must say. Ever since we got back from that Island. She hardly comes to me. I guess she likes her nanny. I heard Ethan pay a lot of money to get her a g
Emma's POV I feel like I'm in a dream world. Everything that has been happening to me recently doesn't look real to me. It feels like a dream. Except that it's not. This is real. I just have to adapt to the change. I am here lying in bed with Ethan, discussing how to help my father. I just told him about my discussion with my father. How he received me. How he felt when I told him about our marriage. Although, I didn't tell him the contract part. I also told him that my father wanted to meet him in person and he said we should see him this weekend. "Why do you want to step down from being the CEO? And why do you want me to take your place?" I've been waiting to ask these questions since Genna revealed it to me. I still don't get" He adjusted his sitting position and rested his head against the headboard. I also followed his lead. "Genna told you right?" He asked. "Yes. But, I don't think I like it". I sincerely told him. "Why? Any woman will be celebrating now". "I am no
"Alvero. We need to be quick. I wouldn't want anyone to know about this," Emma sat on the swivel chair in her home study talking to Alvero, her personal bodyguard."We can nail him now. The guy that did most of his dirty work is in hiding. However, I was lucky to find him." Alvero explained something to Emma."So?" She asked."After discussing with him. He told me that he has something that can bring him down. He said it is the only evidence he has and that the evidence is a video tape of Liam and himself," he spoke further."So, what does he want?" She asked Alvero."He wants money. A lot of money. He's demanding a sum of a hundred million dollars, ma'am," he revealed."Wow, that's a lot. However, it is not that big a deal. My family's life and empire is much more important than the money he is demanding. Let's give him the money. But, make sure to view the contents of the video before you give him the money." Emma instructed."But, there is one more thing, ma'am," he said."And, wha
Arabella's POVWhen Princess Emma told me that Prince had gone out. I felt empty, and I don't know why I felt that way.I was doing just fine on my own, before he came back into my life. I know I feel something strong towards him. However, whenever I remember that he is engaged to someone else. I feel jealous.What happened between us today made me feel lively again. It made me forget about things I never wanted to think about. Things like his relationship and the possibility of us being a couple which I already knew was impossible.I dance my sorrows away by entertaining my best friends as I showed them my tweaking skills in dance. It made me feel better and it put me in a party mood. But when, Rose told me that her brother is not around. I felt bad. I felt very bad. The first thought that came to me was. He has gone to meet her, his girlfriend.I cried in my room. I don't know why I am feeling like this. I like him despite knowing that he is in a relationship. I yawn for him even

Fix yourself up," she winked.She knows. She could easily guess what happened from my dishevelled look. I sauntered out of the room to my room to change.When I was done. I sprayed some perfume on myself and dashed out of the room to check on Arabella.I heard voices coming from the terrace and I decided to see what was going on there. I only peeped and I was dumbfounded. Arabella was tweaking as a song was playing while my sister and Saraphina were cheering her up.I never knew this side of her. I commend Rose for bringing out this social aspect of her. She wasn't just tweaking, she was enjoying herself.I didn't want to spoil the fun, so I decided not to join them. I brought out my phone and I called mom.The phone rang for a while and there was no response. I redialed her number again
Prince Ethan's POVI had tried to stay away from her. I even tried to be content with just staying close to her. But I can't keep my hands away from her.I am beginning to get blue balls already. However, what I want with her isn't just sex. I want everything. Only if she knows.I am ready to do anything she wants. All she needs to do is ask, and I will grant her. I knew that there was no way I wouldn't touch her. I just wanted it to be during her birthday. She isn't aware of my plans for her. This girl doesn't know how she has affected my life, and how she is still doing it. It is so funny that I already know what I wanted with her. I thought it would take me one week to figure it out. But now, I know. And no one can stop me except her, of course."Prince, " she fucking moan my name and my cock grew bigger."Yes," I replied in my husky voice. She is driving me crazy already."Say it angel, I want to know how you feel," I continue to suck her neck, putting wet kisses there as I tea
Arabella's POVEverything screams money in this enormous, exquisite penthouse. Saraphina was not only one dumbfounded. There was no way someone would not be amazed by the beauty of this place."Welcome back, Princess," A man in his late twenties came out from the kitchen to greet the Princess.He is lean and tall. Blonde short hair, and brown eyes. I don't know who he is but he looks like a cook to me."Thanks, Rahul. Please, meet my friends, Arabella, Saraphina," she introduced us."You are all welcome. I am Rahul. And I am a chef and a friend of the Princess," he introduced himself and I gave a polite smile."Prince, sir" he greeted Prince. However, Prince's jaw tightened, he didn't pay any attention to him. However, the man rolled his eyes, grinning.That single act showed that they are acquainted. So, I walked further in and looked around while Saraphina was still going around looking at the beauty of the house.We settled down by sitting on the beautiful sofas in the living room.
Arabella's POV"Welcome, Princess Emma and Prince Ethan. We are delighted to see you today," an elderly lady said as we entered the store. The reception area is large, and there are additional doors leading to other areas of the shop. "Hey, Christy. These two friends of mine," she grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to her. Prince glared at her. "As I previously stated, these two friends of mine would like to shop for dresses. Bikinis, jumpsuits, formal evening gowns, and sundresses. Anything appropriate for a yacht party." What is she doing? Does she intend to purchase that much? However, I kept quiet. I remembered I had given Prince my word. Princess ended her conversation with the woman right away. Prince led me and Saraphina through another door, and my mouth dropped open. Saraphina whispered into my ear, "Welcome to my world," which made me roll my eyes. Saraphina pulled me to a corner while Prince looked at some dresses."Are you and Prince now exclusive?" She asked quie
Arabella's POVIt was a sunny day in New York City. We had just landed, and we were on our way to wherever Princess was taking us. I am currently sitting beside Prince Ethan in a different car from Princess's car. Saraphina is getting along well with her and I am pleased to see them together.The New York vibe is different. We were being escorted by over six bodyguards, and it made me feel as if someone was watching my every move.I know that the twins have gotten used to it. After all, it has always been their lifestyle. They must have grown up to getting used to bodyguards escorting them to wherever they go."Make sure to stay by me once we get to the mall," Prince said and I nodded."I mean it, Adelina, stay by me,""I understand," I replied. He might not be comfortable with my silence since the hot kiss we shared. It might not mean anything to him but it meant a lot to me. It was a moment I will forever cherish. It felt too intimate because, for the first time in my life. I kis
Arabella's POVFlying was the greatest thing that could ever happen to me. It has been on my list of things to do. However, I am also afraid of heights. It caught me off guard. I thought we were returning to New York in the luxury van. This was more than enough. Besides, it would be fun to travel in that van. I was relieved that I was about to achieve one of my life's goals. Nonetheless, I was angry with myself for revealing my fears to the siblings. I know Princess will hate me now.I was grateful to Prince for carrying me honestly, despite my desire to distance myself from him. I believe he was the only person I needed right now. I had to conceal myself from shame. Even the disturbing noise of the private jet was not helping. However, I felt secure in Prince's hands. He sat me down and secured the seat belt around my body. I was grateful because he seemed to be able to read my mind.After he was finished. He sat beside me, giving me comfort by gently squeezing my hand."Thank yo
"Who is who's girlfriend?" Fuck! Arabella's mom asked as she climbed down the stairs.We froze. I never expected Arabella's mom to come down at this time that I was introducing myself to Saraphina.I gulped, then straightened and collected myself. "Hello, ma'am. I was just introducing myself to my friend's friend,""Oh, I see. I thought my daughter was more than a friend to you. I was happy for a second there," she said and walked away towards the kitchen.I do not mind telling her what I want with her daughter. Arabella, however, was pleading with her eyes. She doesn't want me to say anything.I would not want to do anything to harm her. However, if her mother pushed me too hard. I will have to tell her everything. Maybe it is for the best."Mom?" Arabella walked towards her mother. "Are you sure you will be okay by yourself?" She asked."Of course, Honey. I will be fine. Go have fun and enjoy yourself. I already like your friends," she winked at Rose and me, and we both laughed.Co
