Emma's POV

Xavier has so many things like this that I could not understand if he was just joking or actually meaning those.

I asked, trying to force a smile, “You are joking, right?”

He did not say anything but the eerie silence was a resounding answer. I said, “Xavier, are you seriously contemplating killing someone?”

“Yeah. What's the problem? She leaves Earth and leaves along with her your problems. Besides…” His tone turned chilling as he said, “She had the guts to even think about hurting you. She needs to face the consequences of hurting something I am protecting.”

    Emma's POVAs soon as I hung up, I was bombarded with questions by the nurses. “Emma, who is this?”“Is he your boyfriend?” “Do we know him?”The girls were more excited about this than me and all I could do was laugh. I said, “No, he is not my boyfriend. He is just a friend.”“Is your friend rich?” Sonia asked.Merely was the one to reply, “He gifted her cookies that were worth hundreds of thousands. Of course, he is rich.”Sonia grinned, “What is his name? Is he single? Is he looking for a date?”I nodded, “He is single but I don't know if he is looking for a date.”“Oh, no worries. I would just like to know him.” She waved her hand, “What does he do?”“He is a businessman. He is currently in our pack to open a new branch here.”“Wow, he sounds super rich.”I shrugged my shoulders, “You can say that.”Sonia said, “I am intrigued.

I have seen plenty like you; you get your sugar daddy to get you the membership and walk in with your poor etiquette, corrupting the whole environment.”“Mister, watch your tone.” Sonia stepped in to defend me, “You can't just bad mouth us by assuming random things.”“I am assuming?” The guard laughed, “Florence is not a place everyone can hang out in. Just look around, this is not the place you belong.”I said, “We might not have money to squander on fancy dresses like this, but it doesn't mean that we don't fit in here, or you can stop us from entering.”“Yes, the only thing that we need to enter is the membership and we have that right here.” Sonia added.The guard, however, refused to

I was excited to try it with my kids and talk to them about their day.I walked in on the door to see the whole house engulfed in a strange atmosphere. The housekeepers were eerily quiet as they did their work and looked as if they were under some pressure.I removed my bag and kept it on the floor, asking, “Hey, what is wrong? Why do you all look so weird?”Jada, who was busy changing the tablecloth, shivered visibly when I spoke up. “Miss Whitemane…” She spoke softly, a mask of fear in her face.I furrowed, seeing her change the tablecloth. I asked, “What are you doing? Why are you tidying up the table out of the blue? And where did you get that tablecloth from, don't remember buying it.”“Because I asked her to.” Draven spoke up from behind me, scaring the literal hell ou
