EMBERLYNN’S POV
“The deal with Maurice and Stephens will be terminated, the numbers are going down, in 2 weeks we have lost millions of dollars and I see no way they can bring it up in such a short while, I'm not just talking bringing it up, I'm saying give us numbers that will make the books stop looking like a damn playing ground”, I say dumping the folder on the table.
It’s a meeting with the board and this particular project has been yielding loss, it was signed after dad’s death, the one week I had been away and for a month were I had been the acting CEO, there had been no change.
“I am not saying you're wrong because the numbers are glaringly obvious but I think it’s not right to deal with a woman especially one who is still dealing with grief”, Mr. Sczender says, he has been the biggest thorn in my flesh.
I had never cared much for the feminist community, it just wasn’t something I had passion to

CHAPTER 44LUCA’S POV“You did well and I will be leaving you for now, your wife doesn’t get to know all your gay fantasies are coming to pass when she thinks you’re busy in the office, but you know I might need you again so I won’t be deleting the files I have, do have a lovely day Mr. Sczender”, I say cutting the call.The fool was gay but for the life of me I have no idea why he was so scared of his wife knowing.After the burial of William I had needed someone on the board on myself if not I was sure that Emb would singlehandedly power the companies and I couldn’t have that, I had wanted to sabotage the company from the side and out shine her by bringing solutions but that was too risky so instead I found dirt on Mr. Sczender, which was pretty easy for the record.Everyone aside his wife knew that fact, I still doubted that fact, too many people knew for her to be in the dark but that wasn’t my business, it

CHAPTER 45EMBERLYNN’S POV“To a new era”, Luca says as he raises his glass, I smile and raise mine, Aria though takes her time, if she wasn’t in grief I will think she wasn’t happy with this whole wedding but that wasn’t possible, when she showed up suddenly I asked her what she thought about getting married to Luca again and though she took ages to reply it was the same reply.“I think you should marry him, he feels like a good man, to me”, she had said and rushed me to leave the house as she didn’t want to be there for long.I understood her but for me, I didn’t want to lose that last bond there.I look at her from my seat, I'm seated beside Luca while she is seated opposite us, I wish she will look at me so I can signal her with my eyes, it’s my wedding not my father’s funeral, finally she lifts her glasses with a smile and we clink our glasses together and drink.The waiter com

CHAPTER 46LUCA’S POVI put my phone down after putting the call across to Aria, I sit in my car waiting for her to emerge.Once she comes out I open the passenger’s door for her by leaning in, once she is in I take off.“Was that drama necessary?” she finally breaks the silence.“It’s been long that I was inside you princess”, I say, dropping my right hand on her laps, since the cloth is flay there’s no protection from my hand so I slip it in and fill her wetness through the lace panties she has on, I drag my hands down her sex and she whimpers clamping her legs together.“Tell me all this is mine, tell me you're wet for me”, I say digging my fingers into her thighs, she whimpers more and tries to rub herself against my hand for friction, “tell me” I insist.“All yours, it’s all yours”, she stammers out.I smile and

CHAPTER 47ARIA’S POVLuca is currently speeding down to the Smith’s mansion.As soon as the record ended, I was off Luca’s body setting my clothes so I look a little bit presentable, we already sprayed the car and let the windows down.“She should have listened when I said she should come to my house, now we are hurrying down town in a totally different area just because of her stubbornness, for all we know she may be dead already”, he complains hitting his hands on the steering.“Should I call 911?” I ask, I keep squeezing my clothes, I'm nervous as hell, it would be a new kind of low if my best friend died while I was fucking her husband in his car, not to mention on their wedding day, no that was a total low”.“Yes you should, it would do no good getting there with no help”, Luca says.I immediately pick my phone grateful to have something doing, at least I would stop thi

CHAPTER 48LUCA’S POV“Well there was a fire but we all had to rush down here because a rich pregnant woman decided to be stupid, I mean you are pregnant and consuming gin like water, how much more foolishness can a human being have”, The uniform man says and I almost want to hit him, aside the fact that he’s puffing his smoke at me, he isn’t making any sense.“Let me understand what you're on about, you all had to come here because of a pregnant woman and not the woman who stays here?” I ask, the man puffs out more smoke, damn he should know he’s walking on a very thin line with his protruding belly.“Aren’t you getting me? So we were at the office and then this emergency call came in, really frantic, woman said she was Kelly and her friend was bleeding at the Smith’s mansion, we all had to run down here because well someone died here few months ago and another person in blood, it mad the

CHAPTER 49EMBERLYNN’S POVI stretch and realize I'm cold, I try to pull the covers up my chin and I realize something is holding my hands down, I open my eyes and look down, I gasp and sit up when I see I sincerely have a hand on mine, I regret the action as my whole body protests, my head bangs and my eyes turn me, and I have the urge to throw up.“I’m sure one of the advice the doctor gave was for you to rest and be calm”, I hear and realize its Luca’s voice.When I feel my body settled a bit I look at him and see him sitting on a stool close to the bed, “This room is pretty beautiful, didn’t know there was such in here”, he says again and I look round.This was my dad’s room and there’s practically nothing overly beautiful about it, it was painted in ash, and even the drapes were black, giving the room a dark ambiance whenever, if you got in here, every time would be night for you.

CHAPTER 51LUCA’S POVI pace the office for the nth time, it’s been four weeks, 2 days, 4 hours, 25 minutes and 7 seconds, oh wait 8 seconds now I say as I check my stop watch.Yes it’s been that long since Emberlynn started the process of transfer and for me it’s not taking forever, a freaking eternity is what it was taking.I rub my hand on my head and resume my pacing, this was William’s office but since the day the idea was presented at the table of the board I had started making changes.Thoroughly Kelly had been transferred to accounting to do whatever but Aria was back as my secretary because she was very good at her job and why not?Emberlynn surprisingly didn’t take Kelly’s words about the sex issue between Aria and I seriously, she even gave her blessings when I asked her whether she will be cool with the secretary thing.I lift my hands and check the watch on my wrist once again, its been over 2

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 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
