Emma's POVMidway, the conversation suddenly shifted to me. My mother asked, “We heard about the scandal. We were so worried! Good thing Draven had your back or else you would have been wrongly accused.”Draven replied, “I did not do anything. Emma was innocent, truth would have come out one way or another.”“No, Draven. You are just being humble.” He said, “You have taken good care of Emma and we are thankful for it. We could not ask for a better son-in-law.”I clenched my fist, how could they lie so well?Draven let out a small smile and did not say anything. The housekeeper notified us that the lunch was ready. As soon as I looked at the antique dining table which has been in this family for several generations now, I was reminded of my childhood. In this large table which could accommodate 16 people, I would be asked to sit on the farthest chair. While my parents and Erold would be enjoying their meal like a happy family, I would be made to eat in the cold corner.I blinked and s
Emma's POVAs soon as Draven’s words fell, my parents’ faces lit up like a bloody Christmas tree. They said, “Did you not see the news? The rumors of your divorce are the latest talk of the town.”“Wow, I never knew that.” He commented nonchalantly before dealing with his cards.My mind was a mess right now and I was compelled to interrupt.I said, “Draven. What are you talking about? Weren't we going to get a divorce?”“That was just a misunderstanding.” He looked at my parents and said, “Emma was upset with me because of a few things and impulsively wanted to get a divorce but everything is okay now. We are working on our relationship.”“Good good!” My mother said, “I don't understand the system of divorce. If the Moon Goddess has brought you together, it is a blessing. One should not irrationally end a marriage and bring disgrace to her blessing.”I glared at the man sitting next to me. If I could, I wanted to dig all my nails on his neck and drink his blood.Now there was no way I
Emma's POVI returned to the hospital a week later. Everyone was excited to welcome me back!The girls had flooded my table with greeting cards. I was going through them all until my eyes fell on a box of chocolates and roses. “Wow! These girls sure have invested.” I picked up the bouquet of fresh flowers and smelled it. While I was doing it, Doctor James came in. He said, “Welcome back to the hospital.”“Doctor James! So good to see you.”“So good to see you too. The West Wing missed you.” He shoved his hands inside his coat and said.I smiled, “Thank you. I missed working too. Doctor James, it was brutal of you to have asked me to take a leave for a week.”He interrupted me and said, “You don't have to be so formal with me anymore.”“What do you mean?”“I mean don't call me Doctor James anymore. Call me by my name.” He said, projecting a rare smile. I was taken aback, “Are you for real? I can call you by your first name?”“Yes. That's what I said.”“Okay, got it Ducian.” I said an
Ducian's POVLove doesn't hit you often but when it does, it makes sure the impact lasts a while.When I first met Emma, I knew that she was extraordinary but little did I expect that I would end up being attracted to her. I have no idea when this happened. Was it the first time I saw her giving an interview?Was it the time she called me Doctor Strange? Or was it the time when we were working together?I don't know! I can't say. All I knew was I felt something for her that I had not felt for another girl before.So when I learned that Emma got into another trouble, my first reaction was not of surprise. The girl was such a scandalmonger! But when I went to the hospital and was told what happened, I understood the severity of the issue.Rumors were coming from every corner but I knew one thing for sure, I wasn't going to trust anything until I heard it from Emma herself.Just like that when she told me that she didn't do it, I trusted her blindly! I did not require any proof or what
Emma's POVI did not have the kind of dress that one would wear to the Seductive Fox. This club was unlike any other club where you can just walk in wearing whatever you want. It was frequented by the people of the higher society so the dress code was very important.I called Natalie and asked her if I could borrow one of her dresses, and she gladly agreed. Even the kids did not make a fuss when I told them that I would have to stall the game night. In turn, they asked me to have fun and not worry about them.I caught a cab to the club and went in. I had to show my identity card to be let in. It was my first time visiting this place and I was not surprised, it was just like how you would stereotypical rich club to be.Expensive drinks, expensive techno music, and old, rich men blowing their money on beautiful, skinny strippers. I was watching all this when a waiter came to me and asked how he could help me. “Oh, thank you for asking.” I showed him the invitation and asked, “Could yo
Emma's POV“Phew. That was awkward.” I said to myself and closed my eyes. I spent a good fifteen minutes on the balcony until Ducian texted me, “Hey, where are you? Went back home already?”I texted him that I had stepped out for some fresh air and would come back soon.Before heading back to the party, I decided to pay a visit to the washroom. Since everyone was busy with their own party, the washroom block was pretty empty.I was in the middle of washing my hands when suddenly, I heard some noise outside. “Hello? Who is there?” I called out and heard no reply. Assuming that it was all in my head, I went back to washing my hand but before I could realize what happened, I saw a man covered in blood stumbling inside the washroom block.I shrank back in fear and did not dare to make a sound. That man glanced at me and without saying a word, grabbed me by the hand and pulled me into one of the cubicles.“Hey, who are you? What are you doing?’I struggled as he locked the door behind himse
Alex's POV“Nothing. Literally nothing.” My wolf, Pax, frowned inside me in exhaustion as I opened the fourteenth file of the day. I smiled at him, “Giving up already? We still have 300 more files to screen.”When my wolf heard the figures, he lost it. He said, “Alex, I don't want to discourage you, but this is madness. It will take years for you to go through all these files.”“I know but I have promised her that I would find her parents. I can't go back on my words.”Since the day I promised Emma that I would reunite her with her parents, I have invested all of my time into it. I was looking through the pack records, newspapers, and every single relevant and irrelevant thing just in the hope that I would find some lead. I have been looking at everything for the past few days but strangely I could not find anything. Not even a minor clue which would give me an idea of who her parents could be.I tried to trace back to the patrol guard who found Emma in the forest only to find out tha
Alex's POVI let out a small chuckle, “Why are you asking this all of a sudden?”“I always wanted to ask you this but could not find a chance.” He said, “Come on, tell me the truth.”I returned his solemn gaze and breathed out my answer, “Yes, I do.”A cold smirk appeared on his face, “Is this why you are trying to get us divorced? So that she picks you up?”“No, I am helping her with the divorce because she needs it. You are not fit for her, even if she doesn't choose me, I want her to be with a man who cherishes her.”“Why?” He asked, “Why is she so important to you?”I looked out of the window, my eyes clouding with nostalgia. I muttered, “She is the reason I am here today.”“How?”I sighed and narrated, “Our story goes way back, even before she met you.”“I was a lone wolf, I did not have any pack or parents growing up. I grew up in an orphanage and once I turned 18, I was kicked out to fend for myself. I was attacked and left to die by the rogues, I did not even fight back because
