LUCA’S POV
I look down and see its Emberlynn in my arms.
“Wow, calm down baby”, I say pressing her to my chest and patting her back, her body is wrecking uncontrollably, and she keeps making these sounds like her very chest is being pulled out.
A few minutes Aria comes out from her dad’s office, she looks around frantically till her eyes land on Emberlynn in my hands, she glares at me and stomps forward, she taps her friend.
“Let’s leave for now Emb”, she says still looking at me with hate, I lift my hands to drag her hand away from Emb, but when I touch her the memories from when I met her, how I felt the most piece with her comes rushing back.
I see her gasp and I can almost swear that she is having similar thoughts, I see her eyes tear up and all I want to do is to kiss her and pet those tears away.
“A, you should go, I want to talk to Luca”, Emberlynn says her voice sounding muffled since she is pressed against me.

CHAPTER 31EMBERLYNN’S POV“Now isn’t this a funny twist”, Aria finally says.We were presently at the roof of my dad’s building,“What are you on about?” I ask.“Nothing. I just want to find out what you're angry about, you got your wish, your boyfriend has a position of power”, she says with a smile.“That’s not it, why will dad even do that?” I ask.I was shocked when he said that was his decision, I mean less than 5 minutes ago he wouldn’t even hear about it and then he just decided in five minutes to put him in a position that was meant for me.“Don’t you know? A man’s best character can be predicted when he has power in his hands, your dad just put power in his hands to reveal how he is”, Aria says.“I thought the character shows when one is poor”, I say confused.“When he’s poo

CHAPTER 32LUCA’S POVI turn and smile at the arrangement I put up.it had been a long week and today was Sunday, I had been in at all times to make this office space mine and of course to get to spend time with Aria, for anytime I came I put out a call to her to come, I even gave her a full speech on how I won’t expect her to slack because she is a friend to the smiths, of course I couldn’t fire her but I could definitely punish her, she had nodded with a cold glare while all the time I was imagining ways I could put her pouting mouth to good use.I have been on a state of pure arousal since the Monday I had touched her, I had even thought of freeing a day and inviting Emb just so I can get off, but it sounded unappealing, so this office was also a way to avoid her.All my body and mind wanted was Aria, thoughts of how I fucked up the first time keeps ailing me but I had no option, I had a goal and I still do have that goal but now it sudd

CHAPTER 33EMBERLYNN’S POV“What time did you get in?” I ask A as I see her coming out of the bathroom in her towel, meaning she just had her bath, I look at the bed side clock and see its 6, dad said I had to come in by 9 so I still have time to laze around in bed.“I was in before 12”, she says turning towards her wardrobe to pick clothes.“Even 12 is late for you A, you love to be in by 9, something about the city not being safe”, I say pushing off the blankets and sitting up.“Well, I decided to stay late, it had been a hectic week, so why not a few hours of relaxation, any other questions, mum?” she sasses as she finally finds a black gown.“Okayyyyy, you don’t have to be like that with me, I know I'm not your mum but tone down on the sass some”, I say moving to the bathroom, I don’t have to have my shower now but since A is in a pissy mood I rather avoid her.When I

Did he find something? Or did Emb complain that I have been too busy for her? She is so spoilt I wouldn’t put it past her.“You called for me”, Aria says as she comes in.I turn to her and she sees my state, she quickly rushes to me, “What’s wrong babe?” she asks holding me close in a hug.“Why are they coming in here? Is he trying to undermine me on my first day? I was in a pretty good mood and now he wants to come in and ruin it all, for_”, I stop my ramble as I feel soft lips on mine, moving in

CHAPTER 35AUTHORESSLuca steps into the boardroom and looks around, the tensed silence in the room is obvious, everyone is seated, Emberlynn included, he wonder what she is doing there, normally only executives were allowed into the meeting, among them they had a secretary who took the minutes, it was a known fact from when he was William’s PA but now she was seated at the opposite end of the table, opposite her dad, she looked to be in a better mood.Luca moves to go sit in the only empty seat on the table, in between two executives, one was in charge of the Accounting department of the company and the other was the man in marketing, he hadn’t been even given a unit to head he realized and worse there was no open position, this position was created, he was really getting worried on what might come out of this promotion.He rose his head and smiled at the two men on his side, not knowing before his entrance, a few of the executives had been g

CHAPTER 36EMBERLYNN’S POV“Dad what do you think you're doing?” I say in a really controlled voice which even surprises me, I thought at the closest chance I will be screaming down the building.“Oh, so that fire in you haven’t been quenched by that clown yet”, Dad says raising his eyes from the stack he’s going through.Kelly had arranged the files before him before we went in for the meetings.The shareholder’s meeting had been pretty short, just an introduction of me and what he plans to do, little by little my training will start, from then he will begin to hand over to me part by part.“Don’t insult him, that’s all you have been doing today”, I say raising my voice.Dad sighs and sits down on his seat as if tired which would be a shock, he has been the one dishing out the insults and making the atmosphere uncomfortable.“Do you think I don’t want you to b

CHAPTER 37LUCA’S POVI want to say I'm shocked but I always did know Emberlynn was spoilt and I didn’t build love for her to be bothered by what she said but once again she and her dad put me under them.“I'm so sorry babe, I really didn’t mean it, I was just pissed you were pouring out your anger on me all of a sudden, I didn’t even know about all these before_”, she starts to say, I turn to her and put on the fakest smile I can muster.“I forgive you”, she looks extremely shocked, and well I really didn’t want to drag this baseless topic, as long as she is making it to the top, when we get married, she can give it to me, simple.With that thought I move forward and hold her face in my hands, “I really do, we are both stressed and it’s neither of our faults, so yes babe I forgive you and in the light of that let me buy you dinner to celebrate your good news”, I say with a smile.&

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
