AUTHORESS’S POVIf a needle fell right now on the floors of the Smith’s mansion everyone would have heard it like a speaker was put on the floor close to the needle.After all Kelly who was a nobody in every manner of speaking just called the CEO of Gold and Smith, a worldwide dynasty “mad”, well she didn’t call, she asked to be sincere but still it was an insult, one Emberlynn was not going to let side, especially as she had mini demons by her side, another fact she didn’t know.“What did you just say?” Luca asks feigning anger, he smiles inwardly, the opportunity to throw Kelly out of the house and Emberlynn’s life just presented itself, if he didn’t successfully make sure she was out she could pose a huge problem in the transfer of authority and ownership.“What did you hear?” Kelly replies looking straight at Emberlynn.“Everybody out”, Luca says using a vRelated chapters

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

CHAPTER 54LUCA’S POV“It’s pretty late”, Aria says bringing her wrist to her hands she gasps, “Wow, it’s later than we thought”, she says gathering her stuff.I take my phone from my pocket and almost mirror Aria’s expression a while ago, I've got 34 missed calls from Emb, numerous messages, the first few were messages saying not to forget and dinner smells heavenly and then the message tone got to annoyed and then worried and surprisingly it stopped, my eyes go to the extreme right and I see its 2am already.“Ðamn it really is late, Emb has been trying to reach me, I totally forgot about the dinner and I didn’t put my phone on vibrate, it was totally on silent”, I exclaim to Aria.“I didn’t remember either, she’s going to be pretty pissed”, she says and I shrug.“I won’t deny that at first I got a bit nervous thinking of how pissed she will be but

CHAPTER 55ARIA’S POV“You're pregnant too?”The test falls as my hands shake and I turn to find it, my heart going a million paces at the same time.Calm down I speak internally, it’s not like she knows who you are carrying for, random names, random names, I start repeating in my mind, trying to figure out one to use, James, Reese, Godwin, damn these aren’t names she will believe.“Here”, she says and I turn and see her standing there in all her princess glory, and my test result in her hands, the two red lines glaring at me, at this moment I think of how I should have listened to my mind when it told me that I should have waited till I went back to the town house, but I was anxious for it, I remembered Luca’s utter joy when he talked about our future and I didn’t want to disappoint him, at no time did I want him to think Emb was better than I.“Thank you”, I said cleaning my sweaty palm

CHAPTER 56EMBERLYNN’S POV“What?” he says as soon as I enter the room, I shrug pretending I didn’t purposely turn the dye into the shampoo bottle, now his hair is all pink and he can’t run out as he probably did want to.“Don’t glare at me”, I say with a pout, “You know there is no way I could have done that purposely, I was thinking of dying my hair and when I changed my mind I decided to not waste it”, I say.Even to my ear that doesn’t sound believable but I'm going with it nevertheless, there is no way he was expecting me to leave him be after the two shocks I received today.Well, expected is not the right word to use this time because he doesn’t know I know about he and Aria, to worsen the situation Aria is pregnant, I mean ARIA IS PREGNANT!!!I haven’t even had time to process that bit of information, I mean for how long has this been going on for her to be p

CHAPTER 58ARIA’S POV“So now tell me all that happened today in clear terms”, I say as soon as we get into the town house, it’s been a long process, mostly because we had to branch the firm but before that Luca had to dye his hair back to its black, only then could we put on our act at the company and finally we were home.“Before I answer this can I pull of and relax, it’s been a long day and I was sure you would understand since you were right there”, he says side stepping me and going into the kitchen.I follow him and watch as he takes a deep gulp from the bottle of water he picked from the fridge, he squeezes it when he’s done and tosses it in the trash, then he climbs the few steps to the bedroom, I keep following him and watch as he pulls his shirt first, he glances at me before he pulls of his trousers.And without another word still he moves to the bathroom, I hear the shower and I finally slump on th

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
