Henry opened his mouth to ask Emma about her health, but he remained quiet when he noticed her ignoring Henry all the flight.The only reason for him to bring Emma with him during her bad state of health was that he has no trust in his father, Brayn Cooper.He was afraid that once he will distance Emma from him and leave her alone.The next moment, his father would attack Emma and hurt her.He can't let anyone hurt her except for him.He remained at his place, his gaze on Emma.But whenever Emma moved he would always avert his eyes not letting her see his concern.Because deep down he knew she would only be disgusted by his concern and not happy at all.When they reached the hotel in Mexico, Henry’s guard was already there to receive him.Leon looked surprised to see Emma accompanying his boss.He has heard how Emma tried to kill Henry and was even partially successful but then Henry was rescued by Bradley failing Emma’s efforts completely.“Sir, the men are already in the conference
SPAIN :Emma was still not sure of Henry’s words until the plane landed in Spain and the pilot announced their arrival.Henry could see the disbelief on her face but remained quiet.He could be nice to Emma, and this will take her some time to accept.At The Airport, the car was already waiting for Henry, he guided Emma towards it and soon, the driver drove them away to an unknown location.Emma looked around confused, this route wasn’t near her home, so then where Henry is taking her?The doubt which was repressed in her heart started to rise again.Seeing her face turning paler, and her eyes getting anxious with worry, Henry put her heart at ease, “Jacob has changed his home, after the incident.”Henry brought her out of her misery and she nodded at him with a grateful look.SCREECHSoon, the car stopped and Emma looked around the place cautiously, it was a residential place with many buildings.Which means Jacob has shifted into an apartment now.Emma shrugged, he always loved that
STATEN LAND :“Ignoring the food, or hiding in your room like this won’t make you feel better, Emma…”Emma was lying with her face covered fully when she heard the cold familiar voice and gave her back to the person in annoyance.Henry sighed at her childish behavior, it’s been three days since they returned from Spain, but Emma seemed to be stuck in her past completely.Surprisingly, this time, it didn’t make him angry but worried for Emma.Henry pulled down her blanket and forced her to look at him while holding her arms and pulling her gently into his arms.When Emma’s head leaned on his chest, he realized that she had been crying silently.He looked down sensing the wetness on his shirt and soon Emma’s sniffing sound came confirming it.“I told you, he has forgotten you, Emma…” Henry wanted to comfort her, but he couldn’t find the right words.Unknowingly, he said the words which hurt Emma the most.Her fingers clutched his shirt tightly and she continued sobbing.Henry didn’t say
“I won’t let anyone harm you, Emma…”Noticing the fear on her face, Henry assured her.Emma’s trance broke and she looked at him with blank face.Seeing Emma has returned her attention to him, Henry continued, “My father’s business is spread all over the world, and David was too naive to understand his illegal business…My father was satisfied with my illegal background because he knew I could handle it way more better than David.”“So, he took you in because you are beneficial for him?” Emma looked at him completely stunned.How could a father keep his son only for his benefit?Henry nodded his head with a bitter face.For a slight moment, Emma felt sympathetic to him. She could see how lonely he is in this whole world.And maybe that’s the reason he never cared for any relationship, and always forced himself on her.“That must be difficult for you.” Emma’s words were filled with sympathy and it gave Henry a rage.He never wanted anyone’s sympathy in his life, especially not from Emm
Drowsily, Emma opened her eyes, they were still heavy and painful.She looked around trying to make out where she was at the moment. It was clear from the huge space around her that she wasn't in the car anymore.So then where is she?The air was warm around her, absent of breeze. Emma moved her arms and realized that they were stretched up and locked.Something holds firm around her wrist making it unable for her to move.A rattling to her right took her attention and she turned in that direction to find the same evil man standing with an evil grin.“Time to wake up, Princess…” He said maliciously.Emma’s skin pricked, and goosebumps started to form on her flesh.“Let me go…” With utter difficulty, Emma tried to speak.If that man is Henry’s enemy, they both could fight against him.She could offer him help.But the man in front of her didn't look like Henry’s enemy nor did he desire to take revenge on him, he looked rather different.Emma closed her eyes briefly trying to remember t
After Emma left, it was difficult for Henry to focus on anything.Still, stubbornly he kept his mind on work instead of wandering over Emma’s thoughts.Late at night, when he was tired of battling, he finally decided to check on Emma.After all, no matter what he can’t live without her, she is like his oxygen now, if he won’t see her around him, he might suffocate himself.She is a necessity in his life now.He walked to her room, still thinking of her temper, what if she would be angry at his lies, he told Marcella?He knew Marcella must have mentioned them to Emma but he was sure that she couldn’t do any harm to Emma as they were best friends and Marcella also doesn’t look like a wicked woman.She was a polite, good-hearted woman.He knew she just needed the truth from Emma about his lies, and he hoped Emma had given him the truth he wanted her to give to Marcella, so she would give up coming after him.Because if this time, she won’t stop, then Henry has to show her his real person
Henry captured her restless wrists and pinned them beside her head.“It’s me, Emma…” He groaned in her ear.“Henry,” Emma groaned. “Get off me.”“Get Out Of you?” Henry rolled his hips, he wasn’t going to obey her easily. “Really?”Emma wriggled beneath him, she didn't want any physical touch at all.Henry held her wrists harder and started thrusting again.When he moved, she stopped. She blinked rapidly and stared up at him, squinting.Her pulse was quick under his fingertips. She was agitated.“You—”“I taste like you if you don’t believe me.” Henry kissed her with force.He pried her lips open and swept his tongue into her mouth. Soon, the kiss turned fierce. He bit her lip and dragged his teeth down her flesh.She jerked her wrists against his hold and put up a fight for a second. A minute.A fire burned inside Henry.Emma tore her lips from Henry and twisted her head to the side, retching from what Henry did to her, just now.“Arghh…”Her throat burned and her stomach twisted so
“I am leaving,” Emma informed the maid, knowing very well that the second she leaves her room, the maid will rush to Henry to inform him about her whereabouts.The maid nodded, but this time she didn’t need to run to Henry to give the information because Henry himself came over to Emma.“You’re ready? Come, I’ll drop you…” Henry stretched his hand toward her but Emma didn’t take it.“I want to go alone…” She protested.“I know, I am just dropping you off…” Henry explained taking a step forward but Emma still shook her head stubbornly.“No…”Seeing the stubbornness on her face, Henry sighed in defeat.“Fine, the driver will take you, but I am sending people to guard you…” Henry told her, and there was no room for Emma to say NO to this demand of his.She reluctantly nodded her head, and with a smile, Henry stepped aside allowing her to leave.Emma left with the driver, and soon another car appeared beside hers whom she took as the people sent by Henry.****CLAP … CLAP“Right on time…”
