“Please put on your seat belt as we prepare to land in New York”, the hostess announces.
I sit up and pull of the eye cover, I hadn’t really been sleeping, I just wanted a moment for myself.
I was finally where I wanted to be, well not where exactly, I was moving to where I wanted to be at a great speed. I mean I was on first class sponsored by the great William Smith, drinking expensive champagne and moving to a house sponsored by the company, I even got a tailor who fitted me and promised that my suits will be at New York before my arrival.
And I had started buying shares with the money I had from old man Joe, I hadn’t heard from him since his first email, I really hope he was alright.
He was a father figure, I wouldn’t ever accept that to his face though.
“Sir, if you don’t mind?”, I look up to see a hostess gesturing to my belt which I hadn’t fastened yet,

CHAPTER 17EMBERLYNN’S POV“There’s no way we are sitting that party out, A”, I say bouncing on the bed.“I already said I wasn’t going to go Emb, so drop it”, She says turning to her laptop.I met A on my first day at NYU, I still remember that day, clear as if it was yesterday.A lot of people thought being rich didn’t have its disadvantages but yeah it did, loneliness was one of them, before her I had no one, just dad who tried his best to make out time for me but as always, a business man was a business man, I wouldn’t ever say that to him though, he was the best dad and I wouldn’t have it any other way.But when I came in here I was really scared, I mean I didn’t want to have a lonely university experience, so when I spilled coffee all over A and she slapped me not caring about my status or nothing, I stuck to her like glue.Nope I don’t enjoy pain, but I admired the way she corrected me.That day I had just gotten the coffee when

CHAPTER 18LUCA’S POV“You put in so much effort this week, you should join them for the hangout at Stephens”, Williams says after the end of another long day.It has been 6 months and a few since I was brought to New York as the P.A. to the great Mr. Smith, as he predicted there were a lot of objections from people that wanted to have the position and even more from his Board, but of course it all went away after a month.I still didn’t know how he managed to get them to shut up but whatever he did worked. The only downside was that I had no friend here and after sometime I sent a mail to old man Jack, yes that was how lonely I was. He didn’t reply though, maybe he lost the account or something but it was nice having someone for that while.“Quit thinking so hard, you have to get with these people, because you might need them for a reason tomorrow, not financial reason of course but maybe a vote

CHAPTER 19EMBERLYNN’S POV“I still don’t understand why you wanted to look round, the place is pretty simple”, A grumbles as we return back to the VIP lounge we booked for tonight.It was a pretty place, well if a club could be called pretty, the music was as loud as you will imagine it in a club, the ground beating type of music and you had to shout all your conversations to be heard above the music.The place wasn’t meant for talking though, when we passed the dance floor I had almost fainted from all the sexual energy in that place, they were lots of dry humping and I could be very positive that some had even moved right into the sex. That place practically oozed sex and sweat.Well when we walked in we moved to this silent bliss of a VIP room but it didn’t take long till I became itchy, I had to look round, to make sure there were no fine man I was missing,Hence my request to be shown round and sincerely there were lots of fine men down ther

CHAPTER 20LUCA’S POV“So, your friend doesn’t like me”, I say as soon as we are seated.“Ignore her, its not you, she is weary of all men” Emberlynn says.We are seated on the couch I purposely sat on earlier with her when I pretended Aria was invincible.Damn has she grown even more beautiful, I could feel my heart still beating, I liked her enough that time, maybe even love I couldn’t be sure.But now she seemed to be a present figure in Emberlynn’s life and I wasn’t sure where that would take me.My one saving grace is that it didn’t seem like she told Emberlynn the whole story about us, if not saying my name earlier would have been disastrous.Another thing was that she didn’t seem to remember our first encounter which was also good, or maybe I didn’t give her my name even then.It came as a surprise that she didn’t bother to find out anything about me either, its not like it was a pleasant meeting.“Weary of all

CHAPTER 21EMBERLYNN’S POV“that was pretty intense”, I stand and run my hands through my hair after righting my clothes.“You’re already regretting it?” he asks standing too.I look away and he starts to pace.To be sincere I wasn’t regretting the act of finally losing this virginity of a thing but in a club with someone who I didn’t even know, this really isn’t me, the only way i thought something like this was going to happen was if I was losing my mind and only people who were in love lose their mind.Love at first sight had never been my thing or rather I didn’t think it was, the thought of it was plain stupid, and that’s exactly what was happening to me, stupidity.“Quit pacing, it’s giving me a headache and of course I'm not regretting shit, it would have just been nice losing my virginity in a nicer place”, I found myself saying.“You really don’t regret it?” he asks standing in front of me, holding my face tenderly.I sm

CHAPTER 22LUCA’S POV“The contract is as useless as the stupid tray it was brought in”, Williams shouts at Mark Leon, he was just assigned the CEO of Global construction and his first move was to try and get Mr. Smith to back up a building project.Sincerely it was a bold mood, though the project was set to generate more income in the next 2 years after it was complete though.They wanted to build it into a hospital, to me an apartment should have been a better deal.“Sir I know you don’t see how attractive this is, but_” Mr. Leon starts.“Ph, of course I know it isn’t attractive, how long will it take to find someone who is willing to move into the building, and what if the Government decides it will be a nice spot, they rent it of course and for the first year we all relax and sip some wine with a little dollar, but what happens in a year’s time? When they decide charity is a good thin

CHAPTER 23EMBERLYNN’S POV“Your phone was ringing non-stop, I had to tell whoever that you were away”, Aria says from the bed.Surprised more at the fact that she was talking to me than the fact she picked my call, I turn to her.“What?” I say and she looks up from her phone surprised.“I can’t take your calls now too?” she says looking offended, I quickly shake my head.“No! You’re speaking to me! I mean I knew you weren’t angry with me but you kind of went into that shell like the first time”, I say awkwardly moving towards her.She shrugs and looks back at her phone, “You were making a bad decision and you weren’t listening to all the advice I was giving, I was pissed but as you pointed out, you're not a child, so basically now I'm like whatever”, she says.“You know I will always take your advice but the problem is I think when it has to do with men, you're uhm, like more sentimental and you let your heart do the judging not

CHAPTER 24LUCA’S POVI put the last item I purchased into the fridge.I had gone grocery shopping because suddenly I had enough time. No, I hadn’t been fired or rather I didn’t think so.After lunch break Williams had called me into his office and just said “Take the rest of the day” he hadn’t looked up from his documents or given an explanation, I really was tempted to ask, but I was scared the answer will shatter years of work and I’ll be damned if I allowed that.That was why I had nodded, returned to my office, took out the most important file for the meeting he had today and left.I was still waiting for the call, I look at my watch and see it was just 3, 2 more hours to 5 for the meeting.I knew the secretary will have to get it ready by 4 at the latest, so probably by 4:30 I should be called back and then I would prove that the office can’t do with me.Another thing troubling me was that Emberlynn hadn’t called me, did I

CHAPTER 70 – FINAL CHAPTEREMBERLYNN’S POVI stare at the ongoing construction work, the bulldozer music to my ears.It took me a lot of packing up and crying to be able to finally make up my mind about breaking down the Smith mansion.“You look peaceful even in this chaos”, Williams shouts so his voice can come up above the bulldozer he comes to stand beside me.“Dr. Williams Sims”, I shout in return as I turn to face him.“Finally you get to call me Williams”, he says with a smile.“Well you should understand, I wasn’t ready to have another Williams”, I say and he smiles and tucks me into his side.He is that protective, had been right from the moment he told me I was his younger sister.Okay I know you all are confused, so when I was admitted in the hospital, the period I lost my baby, I learnt that Dr. Williams Sims was a product of dad and mum, dad wa

CHAPTER 69ARIA’S POVI fume as I leave the town house, so they didn’t come here, if they weren’t here then they were at the mansion.I had gone to the market place as instructed and Aleysa had been the lead in making fun of me, pissed I had turned back to interrupt whatever plans they had.I get into one of Luca’s car and I take off in the direction of the mansion, I hope it wasn’t a dinner date, I really will hate that Luca made the effort, if it was sex I could understand he was a man and if there was a way to manipulate a wife who loved you, sex was a sure option.I get to the mansion in record time and I see the car packed, I breathe a sigh of relief as I take the front steps, I get to the front door and I push the heavy door open, once I get in my eyes jam with the bodies sprawled on the floor and I scream.I turn around and run forgetting there are steps there, I take out my phone as I climb down the firs

CHAPTER 68LUCA’S POV“You handled that well”, I say after the meeting and Emberlynn smiles.“I guess I trust you so much, I didn’t feel like that was the truth”, she says packing up her bags.“Going somewhere?” I ask“Yes, to the house, I've exhausted the strength for today, it was surprisingly hectic, lots to resolve, very disappointing as I have someone here”, she says and I ignore her jab at me, I give her a smile instead.“Should I rub your feet? Or I could go further up, do that stuff you love with my tongue”, I say wiggling my eyebrow.“Did we used to have lots of sex?” she asks with a full grin.“Of course we did, that is exactly how our little one was formed so early in our marriage”, I say mirroring her grin.I guess sucking up to her a second time wouldn’t be hard, I just had to make sure she doesn&rsquo

CHAPTER 67LUCA’S POVThe atmosphere in this office has never been this tensed, everyone is trying so hard not to say the wrong thing and the meeting hasn’t even started.Kelly and Aria stood behind Mrs. Marilyn and I respectively but Emberlynn insisted they got small chairs to sit, that the meeting will be a long one, so they had both gone to get chairs while Emb looked through some files.it will be stupid to deny that the office looked good on her, she was a boss, something I didn’t recognize before now, but it was true that getting this from her again was going to be tricky.Not only did she enjoy it, she didn’t trust me, I felt it from her right from the hospital and now it was like she was clearing up my people, so the only other option is that I hired the wrong people which still falls back on me.“Do I have something on my face?” she asks breaking my line of thought.“No”, I answer

CHAPTER 66ARIA’S POVShe’s firing me I think, just like that, after all the work I put in, she wants to dispose of me so she will beside Luca and enjoy all his successes, no I think as the words she said replays in my head.“My first decision as the CEO would be to fire Aria, I got dozens of report, you skip work, come late and most times it’s a temp that does your work, I'm not comfortable with that energy, I'm doing a sweep, and I think you should be first to go, thank you for your services, you can do as much as typing your letter, right?” she had said it so casually, with no emotion, as if I didn’t matter, could this be blamed on her memory?Someone doesn’t grow so cold over some loss of memory.“That’s your best friend Emberlynn”, I hear Luca defend me and try to reason with her.She replies him coldly too, her answer is like I'm her property who must conform since I was her best friend.

CHAPTER 65LUCA’S POV“What time are we showing up today?” Aria says from beside me, we had woken up several times in the night going at each other like animals so we slept in real late, the only reason our phones were not blowing up was because I had it off since yesterday as promised and now it was 10, I wasn’t sure I wanted to switch it on after all.“Should we just leave the work today?” I say going to the bathroom, I was hungry for a shower.“We don’t have that liberty, we are in war and we can always use Emb being in the hospital as a reason for going late but definitely not as one for not showing up”, she says making a good point.“Fine, I’ll shower first, don’t put on the phones till we are done bathing and even dressed, I don’t want to have to rush”, I say stepping into the scalding water, I pick up soap and lather my body.I didn’t think I will have t

CHAPTER 64EMBERLYNN’S POV“Whatever you put in that drip is good, I feel stronger” I say as soon as Dr. Sims comes for his morning rounds.He smiles and nods, “Was it the drug in the drip or the fact that you know you're not guilty of the nasty stuff your friend threw at you”, he says.I shrug, “Whatever it is, it’s giving me joy and strength, so I'm grateful”He nods and smiles.I return his smile, I had woken up from my drug induced sleep and found him sitting beside my bed, he said my husband left and so did Aria.He apologized for their attitude and I argued that there was no need, he told me all my husband told him and relieved me of the guilt I felt and then I slept a more rewarding sleep, now I was wide awake and ready to be discharged.“Are you sure you want to leave here? I mean now you get to see your friend unhindered, she might throw worse things your way”, he says.

CHAPTER 63LUCA’S POV“What did you do?” I ask as soon as I locate Aria, when I finally got to the hospital I kept calling her to find out what that call meant but she hadn’t picked up, so I had gone into Emb’s room just to meet utter chaos, they had asked me to excuse them as she was back in code red.I had wanted more explanation but no one was willing to explain so I started hunting for Aria, and after a whole thirty minutes or more I find her on the rooftop.“What do you mean?” she says in a calm controlled voice that I'm not buying even a bit.“I mean I walked into the room of a woman I left utterly healthy few hours ago and she’s suddenly in code red, as far as I know you were the last to see her”, I say imitating her calmness when inside me was a boiling rage.I wanted to be done with this whole mess and just enjoy but even that seems like it’s not possible.“She fou

CHAPTER 62EMBERLYNN’S POVI finally wake up from a restless sleep to see a nurse hovering over me, checking on the wires connected.“Hi”, she says when she sees I'm awake.“You're not Sandy”, I say and realize that sounded rude, “Sorry, I'm getting used to being without memory and I sort of got used to Sandy”, I say apologizing.She looks at me with kind eyes laced with a bit of pity.“Dr. Sims also thought it might be a bit hard for you waking up to a different face but Sandy is on call in the main emergency ward and I needed to check you out of the emergency, your accommodations have been upgraded as you're stable now”, she says making a joke about it.“Instead of transferring me, can’t I go home yet, my husband will want that too”, I say.“You think?”, she asks looking thoughtful and I nod, “Well let me have a bit of a talk with Dr. Sims and I wil
