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
Everything that happened between them was so overwhelming for Emma, she took a fine long moment to separate her frigid, sweating body from Henry’s.He didn’t mind as Emma moved away and then went into the washroom to wash, she even picked up one of Henry’s shirts from the wardrobe and wore it showing Henry her acceptance of him.Henry was watching her with a silent gaze, he was indeed happy by Emma’s approach.Emma saw that Henry was quietly observing her while showing no emotions on his face, she needed to know if he was satisfied with her performance or not.“Stop staring at me like this,” Emma snapped at him as she bent down and picked up his scattered clothes from the floor but as she stood straight, she felt the presence of Henry behind her.“I was just admiring your beauty,” He spoke softly, his hands curved around her body, his member was again hard and pressing into her bottoms giving her an alert.His fingers moved inside the shirt, and his hands took the hold of her heavy bo
Many unexpected things happened tonight, but the one that shook Emma was the words she said to Henry.“Make Love To Me.”How could she say those words to her enemy?Has she forgotten what he had done to her?What he did to Jacob?He is a cold-blooded murderer, a criminal, a ruthless man with no heart, no emotions, and no goodness for the other.But for his child, he was keen on his child, maybe a child would change him definitely.Emma was perplexed and her heart was in a terrible condition, she felt guilty and calm at the same time.She turned to the side and stared at the man laying beside her, his hand rested at her stomach but just as she turned to his side it shifted to her waist.Emma stared at his peaceful, unharmful face, she can’t tell if she could ever believe in this man if he ever carried any good for her or for those whom she cared for.But what about Jacob?Won’t he be hurt if he found out what she had done…Tonight, whatever happened, it wasn’t forced, nor by any pressu
After his hands were done massaging her scalps, Emma faced him again and stepped back under the water, keeping her eyes lowered to the ground.She sensed Henry’s movements behind her. Not for once, his body touched Emma’s.Emma felt weird by his behavior, and more strange by her reaction.What has gotten into her, why she wanted him to return to the old ruthless Henry, why his sweet and loving gestures were bothering her?“Emma…” His voice from behind stiffened Emma.She waited for a moment and then finally turned to respond.“Hmm…”Her head stayed lowered, and so were her eyes, she could see his thigh muscles reflexing as he inched closer to her and his dangling monster too.She tried to keep her eyes trained on his feet, but the bobbing of his member kept diverting her mind.Henry reached over her and turned the shower head, aiming it at the wall. His hands slid down her sides, over her hips. Without a warning, he lifted her up, slamming her against the tile which has warm tiles now
EPILOGUE :SPAINTwo Weeks LaterTIN … TINThe bell chimed, as the door opened indicating the presence of new customers.As soon as the couple entered, their nostrils filled with the strong scents of lilies, Lavender, and many more floral scents mixed with the smell of wet mud.The old man digging out the sand and making a small pot announced without even looking in that direction.“We’re off... I’m afraid you won’t be getting anything now except for the flowers.” The old man spoke as he prepared the pot and then stood with it in his hand.He turned to face the couple and the pot dropped from his hand in an instant from shock.BOOM“What is that noise, Frederic?” An old woman walked out from the small villa wearing an apron, she looked at the back of her husband, he seemed to be frozen looking at something.She took curious steps towards him and then exclaimed in shock, “Emma…”BOOM“Mom, Dad…” Emma called out in a hoarse voice and lunged forward to give her mother a hug, her mother w
“My Little Vixen,I made an oath to not hurt you, but I broke it today by hurting you again.My fury took away my senses and I don’t have the courage to face you and apologize to you.Hence, I decided to write my emotions for you today.Did you remember, you once asked for a home?I had been trying to find a home for you, for our child, our family, and finally, I found one.I kept a small surprise there for you. I hope you will like it.Since my childhood, I was taught to force things on people, to claim my right to power.But, I never knew that love could never be conquered by force and power.It could be conquered with love only.Love needs patience, and sacrifices, while I am not aware of these two words in my life which belonged to the dark world.I don’t regret a single day of my life with you, although I know in each of those days you planned to kill me, end my life, and run away from me.I don’t blame you, Emma.As I said, I was never taught how to love, I hope you will be able
“Did he hurt you, Miss Bailey?” A nurse inspecting Emma asked.Emma pulled the torn sleeves up and showed the cut which was given to her by Henry. It was not very deep but it will surely leave a scar on her skin, all this while she didn’t know that Henry had planned too much for her.A locator inside her body without even her knowing about it.Immediately the nurse started to clean the wound and then went for stitches to close it.“How’s she doing?” Leon appeared and Emma’s eyes opened wide, “Jacob? How is he?”“He’s safe and alive,” Leon assured him.“I am truly astounded by your capability, Miss Bailey. During the chaos, you used your brain right to steal my gun and my phone.If it wasn’t for your wise doing, we would have lost Henry again.” He sighed in disappointment. “I never knew he would try to kill you, but anything is possible, after all, he was a murderer.”Leon spoke with a stiff face, no one has ever shown sympathy for the death of a criminal, especially when he has killed
“Emma.”A loud roar made Emma jump away from Jacob, she turned to look at the door where Henry was standing with a livid face, his appearance gloomy and darker than the suit he was wearing.“You…” Henry marched towards Jacob with a face of ashen, his gun loaded and he pointed it at Jacob.BANGJust as he shot the fire, Emma lunged forward, making him lose his balance and the shot missed.The next moment, Jacob pounced on him and kicked the gun away from him.Henry and Jacob fought like wild animals with bare hands, Emma knew Jacob was weak, and Henry would get his victory very soon, afraid of Henry’s win.She picked up a side lamp and crushed it on Henry’s head from behind.BAMIn an instant, Henry’s grip loosened and he fell lifelessly on the ground.BOOM“Let’s go, Jacob.”Emma offered him her hand, he took it, and in an instant, they both rushed out of the study.Outside it was chaotic, the maids were running downstairs to escape, and there were sounds of gunshots and painful cries
THE WEDDING DAY :The morning bliss was beautiful but for Emma, it was giving her a cold chill, she knew what is going to happen today, and she has not got her hands on the evidence yet.The drive which contained Henry’s criminal record.Emma was all alone in her room when she woke up, Henry must have been busy with the preparations for the wedding, still, Emma has no idea what kind of guests are going to attend their wedding, but she knew that those people are not ordinary at all.The way the whole villa is guarded Emma knows that those people’s protection is more precious than anything else.And also, if Leon has chosen this day to attack, he must have chosen it for a reason, he won’t just capture Henry but all the big fishes of the ocean.With a bitter frown, Emma got up from her bed, she was worried for Jacob, she had no idea if Henry had released him yet or not.Nor does she has the guts to spoil his mood by asking about Jacob.After her breakfast, multiple maids entered Emma’s r
SOMEWHERE IN STATEN LAND“You MotherF**ker, I knew it was you from the very beginning…” Bryan Cooper spat as he picked up the cutter and then cut his cigar skillfully.“I can’t believe a father could be that cruel…” Leon spoke with sarcasm as he leaned comfortably on the sofa.“Son?” Bryan Cooper took a puff from his cigar and exhaled the smoke, his face turning gloomy at the mention of Henry, “I had only one son, David… He was long gone, and this one, Huh… He was just a proxy, a pawn in the Cooper family.”“So then why now you are eager to kill the pawn?” Leon raised his brow, looking at him in curiosity.“Phuff…” The old man took another long puff and then fixed his eyes at Leon, “That woman… What was her name my son got obsessed with?”He was trying to remember the name when Leon offered, “Emma, Emma Bailey…”“Yes, that stupid teacher… Does she have any class to be a part of the Cooper family… Huh, she betrayed my son, tried to plot against him, put him to death, and that fool…Idi
Henry’s smile widened when he traced the fear in her eyes.“No…” Emma pleaded in a low voice.“Only if you…” Henry gave her words a thought and then leaned on her, his mouth reached her ear and he whispered with cold breath.“If you make love to me right in front of him.”BOOMIn an instant, Emma broke the grip he had on her and stepped away.“Never.”She had a look of disgust on her face as she swept her eyes over him while Henry shamelessly devoured her body with his eyes.Without a single hesitation.“Then he has to die…” Henry pointed his dagger at Jacob and Emma sucked in a cold breath in fear.Impulsively, she charged at Henry and snatched the dagger from his hand.Henry stood calm watching her with relaxing eyes, he knew she wouldn't kill him, nor would he allow her to trade her life for her lover.Emma sensed his thoughts and raising the dagger toward her heart, instead, she raised the dagger toward her stomach this time.She pointed the tip firmly, making Henry gasp in surpri
SPAIN :KNOCK … KNOCKJacob was busy packing his luggage when the door knocked and he hurriedly closed the suitcase and went out to check on the door.“Yes?”The man standing at the door was completely unfamiliar to Jacob, hence, he didn’t allow him to enter and block the entrance from his body.“Jacob Adams,” The man called out and Jacob nodded his head, “Emma Bailey’s ex-husband.”At the mention of Emma, Jacob pretended to not know about her but the next second, the man broke the entrance and entered his house forcefully.“Close the door, the things I am going to discuss shouldn’t be heard by anyone.”Before Jacob could protest, the man spoke first, shutting down his protests.Jacob looked around cautiously and found the man alone, there was no one around him guarding the door, if he want he could run away from him and escape.“Don’t try that trick, I am here to help…” The man could read his thoughts and warned him beforehand.Jacob’s instincts were telling him to not listen but the
Emma’s heart was beating like a hammer as she stared at her phone which she had clenched so tight that her knuckles had started to turn white.In the daytime, she got saved with such a slight line, if she had reached the boutique a little late, her visit to Marcella would have been exposed to Henry.She was thankful to Marcella for conveying her the message of Jacob, she had no idea how eager Emma was to talk to Jacob, and finally, she got the chance.BEEP … BEEPThe phone beeped and Emma’s face turned pale from the fear, she had locked the door but she had no idea if she would be able to talk to Jacob in peace but still, she can’t let this chance slip away.It was an unknown number, the code of the number proves that it was coming from another country, she picked up the call and immediately pressed the code which she had memorized in the cab given by Marcella to her.In a hoarse voice, finally, Emma spoke, “Hello…”There was a pause for a moment and then a familiar voice filled Emma’
