“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…”
The dinner to which Henry has invited Emma wasn’t an ordinary dinner.Just by staring at the huge building, anyone could tell the dinner seemed to be at a place that was grand and outstandingEmma knew this dinner wasn’t near to any ordinary.CLICKThe side of her door opened and Henry offered her his hand gracefully.Emma stared at his hand for a moment, before she took it. She is wearing a luxury dress but without any makeup, she didn’t want to put effort into herself for the dinner especially when it was an invitation from Henry.Her dress was a luxury because her wardrobe was filled with Henry’s orders. She doesn’t have a say in that and she can’t appear at the dinner in her pajamas.So, she opted for a dress.Henry didn’t mind her simplicity, because her simplicity and innocence were something that took away his heart.Henry led her inside and Emma watched the people with an astonished face, they all were bowing in respect, not even daring to glance at them.“Everything is ready,
To erase the shock and numbness from her, Henry spoke again, “I am meeting some of my social friends here… Would you like to join me?”Without thinking, Emma nodded her head and Henry led her the way inside the hotel, and straight to the private club.The private club wasn’t noisy as others, in fact, there were very few people there and Henry introduced Emma to all of them.Looking at the women beside them, with exquisite makeup on their faces, Emma felt outnumbered.She shouldn’t have agreed to come here, she thought in remorse.“You look beautiful…” Henry whispered in her ear as he could read her mind, and Emma gave him a reluctant nod.When they were done greeting people and took a place on the sofa, Emma intended to convince Henry to let her leave but just before she could begin, a sharp voice made her swallow back her words.“My dear cousin, David…” Ronald appeared in her sight, he was holding a glass of champagne and a beautiful tall blonde was beside him.Emma has seen her many
After the night when Henry exposed Emma’s plan, Henry didn’t return to Emma nor Emma made any effort to approach him.But she kept asking for his information from the maids from time to time.She knew pissing Henry won’t bring any luck in her life, hence, she needed to keep things normal between them only then she would be able to escape with Jacob.She hoped Jacob had gotten close to the plan of escape.She had been thinking of an escape plan for herself too. Now, as Ronald’s hope had been lost she couldn’t help but think about Leon, Leon was the only person who talked with her against his boss.At that time in Mexico because of the chaos, she wasn’t able to talk to Leon properly, but if she needed an escape, she should approach him.Thinking of this, she started to brew a plan in her mind slowly.****A FEW DAYS LATERAt midnight, when there was silence in the whole villa, Emma sneaked out of her room and went to Henry’s room on her tiptoes.She entered his room and heaved a sigh of
