“Are you sure you want to leave?” Henry circled his arms possessively on Emma’s waist before she was able to pick up her bag and belongings.“I have already taken a week off,” Emma tried to argue.“If it’s about money, I can provide that to you.” Henry offered softly, making her stunned.Whatever happened last night was just a cover for her, but Henry's actions were an indication that he has started to think in a different way for her.Is he indirectly telling her that he would take care of her?Of his enemy?Emma looked bewildered by his words.“I am not a slut whom you pay for the sex, Henry… Don’t forget we had a deal…” Emma reminded him with a stern face which made Henry’s affection and sweetness disappear in an instant, changing into his dark, ruthless self.“Yes, I remember everything…”With that low howl of wrath, he left the apartment and Emma heaved a sigh in relief, if Henry would force her to leave her job then she probably would get no chance of convincing him.Whatever He
Emma was writing a resignation letter with a heavy heart, it’s been two days since the incident of her public scandal with Henry happened.She stared at the paper for a while, not knowing if by doing that she would get back her lost grace.Then making up her mind, she scribbled on the paper distastefully.RING … RINGSeeing the caller ID, Emma frowned in displeasure, she didn’t want to see Henry’s face at all knowing that he is after all the bad things that happened in her life including her resignation.Reluctantly, she answered his call.“Hello…”“Come to my clubhouse,” Henry ordered straightly and then ended the call in a flash.BEEPEmma stared at her phone stunned.She then folded the paper neatly and kept it inside a file.She then disinterestedly started to get ready for her visit to the nightclub.She wondered what new punishment Henry had brought for her this time.****Emma entered the nightclub with a dull face, but as she scrutinized the place her eyes widened from the sho
Henry took Lilian to a private booth, and she followed him with eager eyes.He took his place and gestured for Lilian to sit.“It's difficult to imagine a woman like you in here as a waitress,how come you’re here, Lilian?”Henry asked, he remembered very well the way Lilian praised him and also admired his business tactics.A woman with a sharp mind like her working in the nightclub as a waitress, especially in his club. He found it difficult to believe at first.“Uhm… A friend of mine works here… I am just filling in tonight actually as her replacement.” Lilian explained with a soft smile and Henry’s pupils relaxed on her.He leaned his body back on the sofa and watched Lilian with interest in his eyes.“You’re a kind friend, Lilian…” He praised making Lilian blush but then his words dropped her smile in an instant, “and a stupid one, too…”“Oh, how come?” Lilian looked at him puzzled.“Do you know what kind of things happen in this nightclub, Lilian?” Henry asked and Lilian shrugge
COUGH … COUGHWhen Lilian reached close to the door, a cough behind her startled her.Immediately, she dropped her bag and returned to the bed to check on the person.Just at that time, Henry opened his eyes, appearing to be disoriented for a moment.Lilian gave him a sweet smile and then handed him a glass of water. Henry took the glass.However, he didn’t drink water instead he stared at Lilian with unspeakable emotions.“Why are you not sleeping?”Cleverly, Henry asked her and she looked at him nervously.“Uhm… I was having a headache, actually…” Lilian came with an excuse and Henry’s eyes narrowed in the dark."So, I felt like going out and getting some medicine for myself." She explained."For that, you don't need to leave this room, Lilian..." Henry told her with a sinister smile.“There is something I have which could cure your headache actually…” Henry offered in his dark deep voice sending goosebumps into Lilian’s skin.“Uhmm… what…?” Lilian asked hesitatingly.BOOMAnd the n
After finding Lilian in a normal and safe state. Emma sighed in relief and before she would be able to ask Lilian to leave, Lilian opened her mouth and her words surprised Emma completely.“Miss Bailey… Is everything alright?”Lilian looked at Emma in a way as though she was a stranger to her.“Uhmm… Yes… You… What’re you doing here…?”Emma looked at Lilian in surprise, her eyes slowly shifting from her to Henry.“Oh, you forgot me, Miss Bailey… We met at the seminar….” Lilian told her to maintain the blank look on her face.“I do remember that…” Emma forced her words, her eyes were blinking from nervousness, she knew very well that Henry was watching and listening to their every word very carefully.“So then you remember that I am a big admirer of Mr. Cooper’s work techniques… Today, I was filling for one of my friends and accidentally, I met Mr. Cooper…What a great coincidence…”Lilian exclaimed, her eyes shining with admiration making Emma frown.“I am so grateful for Mr. Cooper f
The next day when Emma opened her eyes she found herself back in her house.Safe and Unharmed.Thinking that Henry would return to her eventually, she started going back to normal and prepared herself for the night which she was sure going to be terrible and torturous but to her surprise, Henry never showed up.Not tonight, nor the upcoming nights of her life.****The whole week was gone and there was no news from Henry, it was like he had vanished from Emma’s life.But how easily could she get rid of him?The thought of his disappearance was distressing her.She was waiting for this day for a long time, but today, as it appeared, it wasn’t a relief at all.She knew that her existence in Henry’s life was like prey to feed his obsession, if he decided to finish the obsession then surely he would finish her existence and even harm her parents too in this.She stayed depressed and when she was sure that there was no way Henry was going to approach her, she came up with a plan.She knew
“The car is ready…” The doctor stood at the door and informed Henry respectfully.Henry’s gaze remained on Emma, his mind vague, he was still fighting with his emotions.Emma inhaled with difficulty in his arms, and her lips moved without a sound.Henry sighed in distress, without even the sound, he could tell that she was desperate to talk to Jacob at this moment.Does his appearance value nothing in her eyes?Finally, his emotions won over his fury.“Find her phone…” Henry ordered, making the doctor at the door stunned.He remained at his place from the shock, but then Henry’s roar made him move instantly.“NOW…”After a few minutes, with trembling hands, the doctor handed Henry Emma’s phone.“Here…”Henry snatched the phone from his hand and then started looking for Jacob’s number.Emma has saved his number with the name of “Husband” which gave Henry a bitter feeling in his heart but still, he tried to swallow the bitterness and fulfill Emma’s wish.With a reluctant heart, he press
Henry was wide awake when the nurses returned and removed the tube from his arm allowing him to leave but Henry wasn’t going anywhere.Instead, he stayed with Emma.He was still not sure if he should hold her in his arms after such a crucial moment.But his palms twitches to feel her warmth, and his mouth also missed her sweetness.Could he ever get aroused in such kind of situation?But with Emma beside him, nothing is impossible in his life, now.Reluctantly, he stayed at his place while allowing his men to leave for a rest.In the chaos, Henry kept ranting on his men and now as things have finally calmed down, he allowed them all to rest.After all, what harm could come into the hospital?He thought and then laid back in his place while watching Emma sleeping and breathing normally.Her chest heaving in a seductive way making his throat swell from desire.A small smile curled up on his lips knowing that Emma wasn’t going to leave him anytime, now, she is bound to him forever.He wi
