Emma's POV
What was happening? How could they do this? I was beyond mad! What kind of thieves were they? Of all rooms, they stole mine and Drew's stuff only. And the dang police, they were doing nothing just telling us to relax. What was there to relax about? I awaited Drew's call on whether or not he had gotten us new passports but still after hours of waiting ... nothing.
I sighed, grabbing a towel and going to take a relaxing shower. After dressing up, assessing everything in my laptop and stalking some celebrities on Instagram including Leila Urquillo, I dozzed off. The beeping sound coming from the corner of the room awoke me. The room was dark which was odd since I left the lights on.
Suddenly the lights flickered on and off, the window closed itself shut and I jolted my head from the laptop I was leaning on. My heart pounded, my throat became dry, my eyes widened and most of all my knees shook. I knew someone was
Emma's POV"Because you left that's why! You left me Em" he shot and I pulled the covers to my neck.He said I left but wasn't he the one getting married? Wasn't he the one with Leila Urquillo?"And leaving you was the best choice. You moved on that too with a wonderful woman like Leila Urquillo" at this time getting those words to come out of my mouth almost choked me."What about you? You moved on too. What's his name? Drew Roode? What does he have that I don't?"I really wished that what he thought was true. That Drew and I were happily married and so in love."Everything. He's kind, honest, loyal and he smells nice"Drew was none of those but he smelled nice I give him that."He smells nice?" He questioned getting on the bed crawling towards me that my lungs almost collapsed. Don't be a fool, Emma. Don't you dare
Cain's POV"Em, the baby she's carrying is not mine" I repeated myself as Em jumped from bed as if I had some sort of plague.She almost fell down when the white sheet she had covered herself with, tripped her. I watched her pick my pants, shirt and the jacket that were lying in different corners of her room. Opening her door, she threw them out her eyes fiery when she looked at me."Leave!" Her finger did more of the talking pointing to the outside.She didn't even hear a thing I said?"You can't possibly be throwing me out of your room, Em? Em, I love you""Cain, I can't do this. Saying you love me is one thing but denying your fatherly obligations to an unborn child is another. For heaven's sake just leave" her voice rose and I could tell she meant every word.Slowly covering myself with the remaining sheets on the bed I left but I loo
Nicole's POVThey applauded. The spotlight was on me and I curtsied. The show was a success and Maria Nicole Powers always delivers as promised.The after party was a little too much for my taste. Though I tried so hard not to think about him,my mind slowly drifted to that scumbag. My blood boiled but my heart fluttered. It didn't get any better when he appeared arm in arm with his girlfriend, Cassie Norman."Nicky, I love the gowns. I promise I'll buy all of them," Mrs Batolomè squealed."Thanks. Don't forget to check out our winter collection too," I said. My gaze slowly drifted from her to the man across the room. Did he have to show his face here?After Mrs Batolomè left me alone, I took a glass of champagne and gulped down the entire drink. Ace Millers wasn't supposed to win my heart. Ace Millers wasn't supposed to make me feel this
Emma's POVI cocked my head towards his direction. Well I'll be dammed! Drew wasn't kidding when he said that Cain was coming in this direction.His figure towered before us, Drew rolled his eyes and I really pretended to be engrossed in the novel in my hands."Emma?"His voice sent little sparks down my spine but I didn't want to seem like I was still affected by him."Cain, what what are you doing here?""I came to get you. Em, are you trying to run away from me again? It's surprising you didn't leave a note this time. Come on, let's go," Cain said and I furrowed my brow."Cain, can we not do this? Your fiancé...""Ex- fiance," he corrected and somehow that lightened my spirits.Ok I'm not an evil woman so ofcourse I was still concerned about Leila and 'their baby'."
Emma's POV"Cain! I swear if you are not there in five minutes. I'll kill you!"I shouted as my mother-in-law Victoria Powers fanned my face with a magazine. Today was supposed to be mother-daughter bonding at Zhang's spa but my water broke and I think I was going to labor."Breath just breath. We are almost at the hospital," she rubbed circles in my palm and I stiffled a cry.Cain and I got married three years ago in Paris. It was the most wonderful moment in my life in that I never thought that I would get to spend the rest of my life with the man I love. Sure we've been through a lot, a bucket load of drama, a whole lot of lies but still together we were team Emmain. The mother and father of a beautiful daughter named Brooke and soon our son who we'd name Jaxon.My family on the other hand also got their happily ever after. My brother Ace got married to Nicole and they have tw
Lydia's POVHatred. A word that never existed in my vocabulary until I met Cornelius Powers.You probably must be wondering how a woman such as myself, a classy and successful reporter would loathe a billionaire such as him. I've always gone to church, gave tithes and helped the needy but what did I get in return? A knuckle sandwich aimed right in my face. Now imagine this cause it's real! It's a beautiful Monday morning, your boss who has seen you work your ass for years gives you a promotion and a brand-new car. What could go wrong right?Getting home, you call your boyfriend but all you get to hear is funny noises coming from the bedroom. Your stupid head tells you that it is your boyfriend jerking off but when you check it out, what you see makes your jaw drop and I mean it quite literally. On your bed is your boyfriend sucking another man's cock and behind him is a whore pulling a dildo in and out his ass. Now this
She was silently seated at her favorite coffee shop across the street, sipping in the last drop of her expresso.This was the only time she could really get away from everything including her grouchy boss, Cain Powers.For two years, she'd worked for him in Power corp as his personal secretary, managing every call, any document that needed signing, his coffee, his flower orders to every woman he'd date, heck she even handled all the birthday cards that needed to be sent.She sat there as she remembered the good old days when Cain's old man was still around. He always motivated her and saw the potential in her, he had been like the father she wished to have.A week earlier before his demise, Emma had visited him in the Powers' mansion and it was the
You must do the things you think you can't do" Emma's POV " Sir,do I have to go?"I asked, my heart palpitating as I awaited his answer anxiously. Turns out,this time he'd drag me across the world to get Mr Yakama's signature on the damn papers.Not even once did he go with me to any of his business ventures out of town,so why now? Mr Yakama had put up a fight on not selling his ranch in Austin to us.So the, eligible most feared bachelor and businessman,my boss,Cain Powers, thought it wise to stalk him inorder to get his hands on that ranch. Sneering insolently he asked,"I'm the one who calls the shots, right?So when I say you're going, you're going,no questions asked!" He said, walking his way in the boardroom,his face shining brilliantly. I understood everything crystal clear,I was only a mere employee.

Emma's POVI needed coffee. We talked all night with Drew and had a little bit of too much wine. I got drunk yesterday, I ended up crying like never before. Drew was quick to pull me in for a hug and I teared up. I was miserable and wasted and hurt, lost so many different emotions played in my body. Cain Powers was getting married. I told him to move on and he did yet here I was, still not over him."An expresso please" I said, placing some dollars on the counter.The old woman was quick to smile back asking my for my name and writing it on the cup."Thanks"My head was still hurting a bit as I walked to the exit of the little coffee shop. I was probably too busy not to notice the crack on the floor onto which my heel got stuck and I ended up tripping."Aah!" I screamed before I felt huge hands grip my waist."Miss you need to be more car
Cain's POV"You look beautiful, you know" I teased looking at her yellow gown."Baby look at me. I'm getting fat" she laughed and I held her hand tight as we entered our party.We both had chosen the theme of it. Discovery of love. I tried not thinking about what happened in the past. Leila was there, she was there especially when I thought that Uncle Ben's death was my fault. If it wasn't for Emma leaving me, I wouldn't have resorted to drinking! Uncle Ben wouldn't have gotten stabbed, if I hadn't gotten into a bar fight.I blamed myself for his death. I shut everyone out but mostly I wanted to die. Die because I was hurting and now I was doing the same to my loved ones. While I was at my worst, I thought Emma would think of me and come back to me. I loved her so much and I was willing to do everything to have her back.Two years passed still Emma never came back. That's when I
