(Emily's POV)

Cutlery scrapes the plate, there’s wet chewing and loud swallowing. Elbows are drawn in, backs straight, and my eyes falling everywhere but on their eyes.

This is the quietest and most awkward breakfast I have ever experienced since I am back here in LA.

I bet Lea and Steve fought by the time of their date. They're having a lover's quarrel which infuriated me more. I'm having trouble to swallowed my dinner because I was full from the Starbucks free meal given by a handsome priest.

I'm still wondering if he really is a priest or was just devoted.

Wait... Why did I conclude that he is a priest? On what grounds?

Why am I bothered anyway? And I should not give a damn about that stranger's life.

I was startled when Lea dropped her spoon with a loud clangor on her plates and grabbed a glass of water from the water pitcher. Right then, Steve stood up with a loud creek from the chair and was open the fridge to grab a bottle of water before he slammed closed the fridge door with

    (Emily's POV)-5 months later-I exit the nurse quarter after taking my belongings with me. My shift just ended an hour earlier and I am waiting for Lea to finish her shift. While waiting I fell asleep and just woke up to see the time passing by quickly. It's already dark outside. But Lea is still not around. Is she in mandatory overtime? She did not notify me though.I dialed her number but totally forgot that she must not have her phone right now. Sighing, I leaned on the bench while waiting in the lounge, watching Tom and Jerry on the tv.Every day is tiring for me. Everything seems new. But it's better to be this way. I seldom think about him nowadays. But the new thing is I cannot hang around with friends without Lea.Well, she's my best friend, of course, we stick to each other all the time, but there is a chance that Steve won't let her have fun outside, so I was also dragged out of the world of fun too.It's not I hate being trapped in the hands of my brother, it's just like,

    (Emily's POV)I yawned as I wait for Lea and the others to finish their lunch. Some of them are in different departments but why are they devouring their food with proper etiquette? Having a conversation with my co-nurse in the mae department makes my boredom go away. Apparently, this is one of the days that stress was not blasting our heads. We should be grateful though. Maybe that's the reason why these fellas are enjoying their break.But not me.This day appears to be different to me. I've been anxious since this morning and it bothers me, maybe for a whole day. This feeling only shows up if a flood of patients from an accident came through our emergency sliding door. And it frustrates me that I cannot even eat properly. I was hoping no children involve all the time.Lea will be busy again, for sure.They've been talking about the new surgeon. And I know who that is. They all seem interested in him but why? My gaze turned to the window of the hospital cafeteria, a loud siren fr

    (Emily's POV)I entered the nurse lounge and headed straight to my locker, while catching my breath, taking my stuff out of my locker, and exit the room without changing my clothes. As I am wearing my hoodie, I grab my phone and dial Steve's number.As I have a perfect memory of the plate number, the color of the car, and the brand of the car they ride to escape from me.Dimitri's getting on my nerves.I spotted Lea who was about to reach me. "Are you going home?""I'll head to Steve first but he is not answering any of my calls.""Why? Just wait for at least an hour. Steve is somewhere out of the Encino but he's on his way now.""I can wait at the station."She grabbed my arm with a confused look on her face. "Just wait here, Emily. You know that you are forbidden to wander alone."I held her hand, "I'm fine, Lea. Just inform Steve that I'm on my way to his station.""But- EMILY!"I run off to the main door of the hospital and hailed a cab. "2710 West Temple Street," | immediately sa

    (Emily's POV)Warm, humid air breezed into the studio from the open terrace doors, rustling the sheer curtains. Below the veranda lay a white sandy beach, crystal-blue water, and palm trees swaying in the wind.Steve's cousin chooses me to be her model for a campaign for a vegan product. I never agreed to this but she begs for me to do it, well, of course, the pay is low if she is acquainted with her worker. Well, I have a background in modeling from way back in high school, so this is not new to me.Though even here, my thoughts wandered across the Atlantic Ocean. I wondered what Aosta Valley, Italy looked like in the summer. My imagination pictured the country covered in eternal ice and snow. Still, Italy called to me while paradise's breeze caressed my hair."Chop, chop!" Flora, Steve's cousin clapped her hands in the air, her tribal-patterned poncho rising to show the leotard beneath. "Carlos is going to be here in ten minutes, and you know how much he hates to be kept waiting."T

Yes, we're both not dead. It took me months to figure out through Italian Police that he was not dead. Everything was set up. Our death was a counterfeit. So that the association will not be involved in our family matters.I scoffed at the word 'family'.There's no family in the first place. He ruined the word 'family' between us. He keeps following Emily, so I'm doing my best to watch her from afar, making sure Delimer would not touch even the tips of her hair.He choose this and I'm making sure he would not hurt anyone anymore because of his readiness to rule the association.As we drive over to the club, Lucio watches me instead of the road."If you won't turn on my brother, the first bullet out of my gun goes right between your eyes," I tell him.He was against the idea of me killing my

    (Emily's POV)I took a Lyft ride on my way to Riverside. It's my day off but Flora makes me work on my supposedly peaceful day. I thought of that woman and her stupid tarot card. I mentally tried to figure out the odds of her drawing that card. I imagined all kinds of crazy ideas like she'd watched me from behind trees for years and then played The Devil to unsettle me.Frustrated with my musings, I exhaled and told myself it was just a coincidence. A freaky coincidence... But I refused to think about it again.I stood in front of my childhood home. My original home, where Dad killed my Mom, and I survived through that. All thanks to Steve. I wasn't thrilled about being here again though.When I entered through the front door, it was clear the electricity had been turned off. No lights. No water. The house radiated heat beneath the hot summer sun.I grabbed a water bottle from my bag and poured a bowl for the stray dog who was lying on the couch. Panting, he plopped down on the cool

His lips pressed against mine, and his hands roamed my body before settling down on my lower back. My arms snaked around his neck, holding firmly before moving my lips to meet his rhythm. We were in sync.Following his lead, securing my legs around his toned waist. His arms hold on to me, keeping me locked into him while supporting my weight. He turned, pivoting us in the direction of the bedroom. A squeal slipped through my lips at the sudden movement, breaking the kiss. In turn, my grip on him firmed up even more, my fear of falling leading me to do so."Relax, wife," he laughed before kicking close the door. I turned my head to assess the room. It was massive, with a king-size bed sitting in the middle. It had floor-to-ceiling windows but they were covered with a curtain. The furniture was modern and clean, everything about it screamed lux

    (Emily's POV)Eight hours later. I glanced out the window of the private jet. I'm finally seeing again the tall Eiffel Tower. I glance at Dimitri and had been his attitude the entire flight: indifferent. He and those stupid 'Delicious!' sounds coming from his phone were driving me crazy. Lucio wasn't any better company. He was flipping through a Cosmo in the row of seats at the front of the plane. And Mali was sleeping in the corner while snoring.After we got married two days ago, even though I'm pregnant, I'd been burning up, waiting for him to touch me, kiss me, and drag me to the convenient bed in the back. But he hadn't done any of that. When I got tired of waiting. I'd straddled his lap, ran my lips down his neck, and cupped his erection as it grew harder beneath my hand.I thought I was finally going to get what I wanted, but then he shoved me off him to the couch and said, "I'm saving myself for our honeymoon, wife"I glared at him.He thought it was funny.Frustrated, I got u

    (Emily's POV)The next day, something smelled like pancakes. It made my stomach churn.I loved pancakes.I rolled out of bed, brushed my teeth, and combed my hair, then padded out to the kitchen to find Dimitri at the stove, shirtless, his hair wet. I loved him like this, the casual side of him not many got to see. Like this, he was mine.But when I wrapped my arms around his waist, he tensed. Uncertainty flickered through me. He'd been quiet since last night after our wedding yesterday. I woke him up when he was having a nightmare, and an insecure part of me was obsessing over what could be his dream."Are you hungry?" he asked when I stepped away from him. I looked at the plate of pancakes on the counter and wrinkled my nose."Not right now." Grabbing the orange juice from the fridge, I poured a glass. "Is there something wrong?" I asked."Nothing.""Stop hiding anything, Dimitri. I want to know what's on your mind. I want to know more about you."I was sitting on my couch, not su

    One month later(Emily's POV)Sunlight shone through the high windows of the church's bridal suite, lighting dust particles in the air like tiny flickers of gold. Nausea swirled in my belly, and I pressed a hand to my stomach and tried to breathe through it.It's our second wedding but I'm fucking nervous.I swayed as Lea tugged at my laces. "You've got to suck in, Emily. I've barely begun tightening it up."It felt like she was squeezing the life out of me. "For goodness sake, Lea, she can't suck in her boobs," Carol commented from her seat in the corner. She had a Vanity Fair magazine in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other."It's her backside I'm having trouble with. The laces are gonna be gaping at the seams if I can't cinch them in any tighter."And they wonder how I could ever be depressed...With another jerk on my laces, I breathed, "Oh, God," and covered my mouth as nausea traveled up my throat."Quick, Carol! The waste bin!" Lea exclaimed.My best friend hopped from he

    (Emily's POV)Dimitri and I turn onto the main road right as the fire truck comes roaring up the lane, headed for the Castle's beach house, or what's left of it, anyway.I can see the firemen's faces as our car passes their truck, they're looking down at us, eyebrows raised, but unable to stop us from fleeing the scene."What a fucking trip!" I shout, my heart still galloping like a racehorse. "I did not know he was that crazy! I thought he was just normal crazy, like 'I don't want my food to touch,' or 'talking to yourself in the shower' crazy, not like full-out Shining."Dimitri is driving way too fast, hands locked on the steering wheel. Improbably, he's grinning almost as much as I am. Could my uptight husband be starting to enjoy our adventures?"I can't believe I found you," he says."Yeah, Did you find my shoe?" "Yes, I found it! And I remembered."He looks over at me, his blue eyes brilliant against his smoky skin. I don't know how I ever thought his eyes were cold. They're f

    (Dimitri's POV)I roll down the window to try to get a better look at some of the cabins that are set back from the road, half-hidden in trees.Some of the driveways are so faint I can barely see them. In fact, I almost pass one by, failing to see the faint tracks through the grass. Until I smell a hint of smoke. It's so mild that I hardly know what scent I caught. Then I feel the automatic reaction, the hair on the back of my neck standing up, and my heart starting to race. It's a primal, terrifying smell. A warning of danger.I slam on the brakes, whipping the wheel to the left. I follow the long, winding path toward a double stand of trees. Between those trees sits a small blue beach house that I've seen once before in a battered photograph.I stop my car, hoping Oliver hasn't already heard the engine or seen me driving up the road. I slip out of the driver's side and crouch down behind the car, trying to peer around at the house.I send a quick text to Emily's brother. I'm an ho

    (Emily's POV)"I need to pee," I tell him again as he forgot."You can do it with the door open," he says.I glare at him, in a stand-off between his stubbornness and my throbbing bladder.I can only last a few seconds. I drop my pants and sit down on the toilet, letting go. The pee comes thundering out, with more pain than relief.Oliver stands in the doorway, watching me. There's a tiny smile at the corner of his mouth. His eyes look hooded and pleased.I wish he would turn the fuck around and give me some privacy. Or at the very least, I wish I wasn't peeing for so long. It seems to go on forever, and it's fucking humiliating.He's right, though, if he'd left me alone in the bathroom, I would have climbed out the window in five seconds.When I'm finished at last, I pull up my pants and wash my hands, wiping them dry again on my clothes, since there aren't any towels.Oliver watches this too, with a scowling expression. I think he's looking at the cast again. Then I realize he's act

    (Emily's POV)I wouldn't have gotten in the fucking trunk if I knew how far Oliver was going to drive. I feel like I've been in here forever. Also, I drank a lot of water with lunch, and I really have to pee. Also, I'm worried about what Oliver might have done with my purse. He wasn't stupid enough to put it in here with me, unfortunately. I'm anxious that he just chucked it out of the window or something, which means that my precious little package is already missing again.For a long time, I can feel that we're on the freeway smooth, steady progress in the same direction. Eventually, we turn off and start driving slowly and erratically down roads that are obviously narrower and less well-maintained. A couple of times the car jolts hard enough that I do hit my head on the top of the trunk.I've been hunting around in the dark, looking for anything useful. If there was a tire iron back here, I'd use it to brain Oliver the second he opened the trunk.At last, the car slows down. I thi

    (Emily's POV)I'm sitting across the table from my new friend, Drake Lee. He passes me the little box I've been waiting and hoping for all week long, and I open the lid to peek inside."Oh my god, I can't believe it," I breathe. "I know," he laughs. "This was the hardest one I've ever done. Took me three whole days." "You're a miracle worker. Honestly."He grins, almost as gleeful as I am."You mind if I put the whole thing up on my YouTube channel?" he says. "I was wearing my GoPro the whole time, got some great footage.""Of course!" I say.I close the box, still hardly believing what I'm holding in my hand, and I stow it back in my purse. I give Drake a slim envelope of cash in return, the amount we agreed upon, plus a bonus for saving my fucking ass. "Well, call me if you ever need me again," he says, giving me a little salute."I hope I won't need you," I laugh. "No offense.""None was taken," he chuckles.

    (Dimitri's POV)I'm sitting at the table, surrounded by my men, basking in the glow of victory. We just got back in California. Our days in Bali will remain a memory. I'm also thankful that it's not our honeymoon or Zajac's head would float all over Bali's ocean.I find myself tuning out of the conversation because I want to look at Emily instead.I can't believe she stayed at Zajac's warehouse, looking for me.She could have been killed, or at the very least, recaptured and held hostage until my men returned the money they stole.She could have just run the moment she escaped the office. But she didn't. Because she knew I was somewhere in the building, probably being tortured, possibly being killed.I was frightened to see her hurt again because of me and I don't want to lose her.I've come to respect Emily and love her, too. I like the effect she has on me. She makes me more reckless, but also more focused. Before I met her, I was going through the motions. Doing what I was supposed
