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.

    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.

"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.

    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 I went through so many files on my office desk. Comparing them with what I have in my computer system. There is something odd about a particular hotel.
