Hey, everyone.
First of all, I apologise for the sudden break.I got the date sheet of my exams abruptly which is why I had to slow down updates for this book. I haven't abandoned it. I was literally planning to finish this book by 15th June but it was not in my hands.Many of you might have misunderstood that I have started another book but NO. This is the latest book I have on GoodNovel. I'm continuing my old book Mr CEO, marry me on conditions. That's not a new one.I won't start any new book until I finish this one.I'll publish a new chapter tomorrow and hopefully, I'll be able to update more frequently again. The sudden arrival of my date sheet messed it all up for me. I'm just trying to gather everything asap.Please wait for the update tomorrow❤Hugs.EmilyHe doesn't remember anything. A sigh of relief is yet discomforting. He has no memory of last night which means he doesn't even remember what I had confessed out of overwhelming emotions. "Emily, I'm asking you something?" He groans, nearing my face. I purse my lips in tension and lift my eyes at him. He indeed pushed me but it was an accident. I know he didn't mean to hurt me, not even in his dreams. "It was just a small accident," I tell him. "You didn't do anything""Are you sure?" A line of frown forms across his forehead.I nod."And what kind of small accident was it?"I can't tell him that he pushed me. He's literally gonna lose it over himself as I can scan his reactions."I'm telling you. You didn't do anything," my eyes are straight into his. With his palm covering his face, he lets out a shrug. "Damn! This hangover"Not uttering anything, I stare at him, his reaction, his body language. KaneMy palm hurts so bad. I wonder what the fuck I did exactly. I should have
EmilyMonica! I used to hate this girl from the bottom of my heart. There were multiple reasons. She is Kane's batchmate from his college days. Before we came into a relationship, I found out how desperate she acted to be near Kane. She used to act like she was kidding when she literally flirted openly with him. Since Kane wasn't in any commitment and didn't want to embarrass her, he used to joke back.I used to be so jealous of her until Kane confessed she was nothing much to him. From that day our relationship started to bloom and it went such a long way.However, Monica didn't stop even after knowing that we were together. She just needed a chance to stick to him, call him unnecessarily and make an excuse to bang in our place. I couldn't stand her back then.Not even now.It irks me when I realise they are in contact and she has the freaking audacity to act like she has a damn right to talk to him. My inside is storming!"You could have talked to her on the landline," I scoff, gul
KaneI gently toss her aside, making sure she doesn't bump into something. She's still not recovered properly. I'm aware of it but it's hard to keep myself away from her anymore, especially after the hot encounter in the washroom this morning. I wanted to fuck her right there and quench the burn she had created inside me. I held back. I held back the entire day— for hours. Then it became unbearable. I throw myself back on the couch as she stands right there in front of me. Through the deemed lights, she looks a hundred times more seductive. My guilty gaze scans her from head to toe. She's wearing a tank top with shorts, her cleavage slightly visible, her tempting breasts making my throat drier. She is staring at me anxiously with her two fearful eyes, her fluffy lips shivering. How can a woman look so sexy yet adorable at the same time? Only she can."Strip!" I husk out of nowhere as her eyes turn bigger. She parts her lips in shock. Her eyes refuse to blink."Didn't you hear me, l
KaneAs Emily completes with her nervous eyes lingering on me, I halt glaring at her. She has been wanting to talk about that shitty stuff that needs no discussion. Why would she even want me to let it go when I'm fighting to slam that asshole behind the bars? "What made you want that?" Realising she wanted a calm conversation, I gulp the anger down. She lowers her gaze and rubs her hands together, placing them upon her crossed legs as I watch her body tense. "I just don't want to mess with him," her voice comes out as a whisper."I'm not even letting you mess with him. It's me," I shrug."I don't want that either. You don't need to do anything for me," her voice is rough and alarmed as she keeps avoiding eye contact with me.My inside is already simmering and with each of her nonsense, I find it hard not to react. "For your kind information, I'm not doing anything for you. I'm doing something right— something I would do for any woman in such a situation, especially when that woma
EmilyAfter an hour, I land in Stanford's office. I'm a bit tense about how Kane is gonna react if he gets to know I came here. He'll lash out at me again, and say hurtful words. That's all. But I'm not gonna step back right now. The environment of Stanford's office is full of chaos and crowds. I glance around and knock on the door."Come in," Stanford welcomes me with his familiar creepy smile. He's sitting at the edge of that long table in the conference room. "See, all your demands are being fulfilled. You didn't want to be in my tiny cabin and wanted this conference room. Here we go," he laughs. "I hope my demands will be fulfilled too""Only if you try to be fair," my voice is calm.I scan him well. Roger Stanford, aged in their mid-forties, not too burnt out of his age, fit enough. However, a patient with cardiac arrest. That's all I know about him after his business."Of course. But I'll consider it based on your performance," he grins, leaning on the table as he gazes down
KaneAmused, she gazes up at me in disbelief, her lips slightly parting and her eyes blazing up. And I can't help smiling at her as the flashes of that entire scenario keep rolling in my sanity. This is the woman who used to make me smile with her silly yet straight actions. I missed her so much. So damn much! "What happened? Don't you want a reward?" I chuckle."You're happy?" "I'm impressed," I don't know if I'm trying to hide that I'm indeed happy, but IMPRESSED seems to be a good word to hold the entire emotion back inside. Her lips twitch into a small smile. "You'll give me anything I want?" In a curious voice, she asks with her two big eyes glistening in joy."Unless it's you going away from me," I whisper, deepening the eye contact.I know what I meant but I hope she takes it as the agreement. I know I meant it for a lifetime which isn't possible. It's all about mere desires and needs. Besides, she never loved me. I sigh and gulp down to shove those thoughts aside. "Okay,
Kane Emily has been silent since this morning. We haven't really had any serious fights at all lately. I believe she's upset about the contract expiring. Fuck! I didn't even try to remember that until I found her lost. "You know our schedule slowed down for work and everything because of your health issues," as I start the conversation abruptly, she slightly shudders as if she was lost in deep thought."Huh!" She puts the comb back and gapes at me. "Well, yeah," I stutter, rubbing the back of my head and ignoring eye contact with her. "And then suddenly the partnership with Stanford was cancelled. I think we'll need a few more days to work on the final project and everything""Okay," she mutters, lowering her eyes."Everything, Emily," I repeat.Her eyes lift to me drastically, filled with both surprise and a bit of confusion. Seems like she understands what I'm trying to say, but she's unable to be sure about it. I step closer to her and lean down, collecting my wallet from the
Kane"Kane! Please, stop. It's hurting," her whimpers don't affect me at all when I drag her out of the restaurant and push her inside the car. I groan, panting heavily, my nerves shaking as I grab the steering wheel. "Kane, I— I didn't— want to—," she stammers. "Not a word," I husk. "But please hear—""I said not a fucking word," my voice booms inside the car I glare at her. She's trembling with sudden terror, her eyes popping out. I look away from her and start the car, driving roughly back to the cottage. I feel my entire body throbbing when I drive as fast as I can, recklessly passing the vehicles. "Kane, please slow down!" She clamours but I don't give a fuck about what she says. Those wounds come back to life. I feel that familiar pain against my chest again. Again!"Kane!" She yelps as I aggressively cross a vehicle. If I went a single inch backwards, that vehicle might have crashed into us. But I sense no terror, no concern. *Reaching the cottage, I drag her inside,
THE END NOTEThe journey of Kane & Emily ends here. You may find the epilogue a bit incomplete because Samuel hasn't accepted Kane wholeheartedly but there was indeed a step toward him. Such kinds of relationships are hard to form. and I hope this loose ending of their relationship doesn't look too negative at all. I tried to make it bitter-sweet as it certainly is in the real world. Let me know how you found the book overall. What you loved, what you hated. This book was a spin-off of my other book MR CEO, MARRY ME ON CONDITIONS. Many of you might not know. Kane and Emily were the side characters in that book. And I hope you could read it as a standalone.I'm plotting another book in this series. you might have guessed until now. Chrisanna and Samuel.I'm not sure when I'm gonna start writing that book. I'm too busy this month. even the next month can be hectic. I'll most likely write Samuel and Chrisanna's book in September. You may follow me on Instg with my pen name already writt
I let out a deep sigh and look down at Emily. She's almost on the verge of crying. And she does. Just when I strive to hold her again, surprisingly, Samuel comes forward and cleans her tears with his small palms. "Don't cry," he gasps in a cold tone, frowning at her. "I'm angry. I don't hate you"Emily smiles in tears and hugs him right away, breaking into tears. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, my baby," she sobs, hugging him tightly as I find Samuel staying calm and rolling his eyes around. Poor boy doesn't even know what the hell is happening in his life. He lifts his eyes and stares at me coldly. Emily breaks the hug and his face. "You're angry with me? I'll remove all your anger soon," she kisses his cheeks and all over his face. But he seems to be too stunned to take it all. "Let's go now. I'm here to take you home," she says."I won't go," he shakes his head. "I wanna go to dad. I want dad"Emily pauses, gawking at him. She says nothing. Tears roll down her cheeks as she low
Emily"The court is adjourned"My attorneys cheer up as the judge exists and Ivanna hugs me from behind. "Congratulations!" She exclaims in joy and I feel nothing for a couple of seconds when Damien is taken by the cops in front of me.As he gazes at me with his hatred and disgust-filled eyes, I glared back at him, hot tears streaming down my cheeks as I recall the dead face of my dad, that cruel hour of my life and years filled with pain and darkness. "Congratulations, Mrs Gabriel," my head attorney, Lana, hugs me. "I hope you feel better"I move my gaze from that view of my ugly past and thank my team for being so patient for so long and finally turn back to the man standing behind me, who has always been there ever since we reunited. Kane is smiling at me. His eyes are moist. I don't think I would ever be able to do it if he wasn't there to hold me each time I fell weak on this journey. We don't share words, we just look into each other's eyes. Five years. It took five years to
Kane The entire night was spent in anxiety. I had been staying in a small guest house, just a kilometre away from that foster home. In the evening, Ethan came and told me that he had handed the wedding dress to Rylie Mae. She looked happy. But she said Emily hadn't talked to anyone after I left. She didn't even come out of her room. I know it was going too fast and I believe she'll know what she wants. I wasn't lying when I told her I would leave everything behind and make her world mine. I'll definitely do it for her. I just wanna see her happy and satisfied. When I met her yesterday, I saw that urge in her eyes. She was so hesitant when she asked me to leave as if she was unable to convince herself. If I had found a bit of resistance in her eyes, I would surely walk away. We're gathered in the small church situated a few yards away from the foster home. And it's already the moment. Ethan comes rushing when we all were waiting outside the church. "Kane!" He huffs. "Coming from t
Kane"Emily is in Atascocita, a small village in Houston. She joined the foster home recently. Two years ago she helped an elderly woman to found a foster home for young girls. She loves to be around them and helps them to find a direction in life"Auntie Rachel's voice echoes in my head as I drive faster in that direction with a bunch of hopes. I look at the sky. It has turned pink, and the sun is slowly moving to the horizon. Everything feels unreal now. I know where she is. But I also know that it's gonna be harder to face her now. How am I gonna ask her to come back to me? Will she ever trust me with everything? Enough of this. It's time to face it, Kane. It's time to fix all the damn damages I did. I rub my eyes and get into the car, keeping the jar safely in the backseat, then I drive faster towards the direction which leads to the exit from this small town. *I reached Atascocita till dawn and waited for the sun to come up so I could enter the village. There's no doubt why
I brace myself before reading it. "As you sow, so you reap. That's what dad used to say. But it has never been the same in my life. I got the worst in return for a single NO. I can't believe I'm a woman of this era where we're still not allowed to say NO to anything. We don't have a right to make decisions and any random person thinks that they can make decisions in our lives as if we're obliged to do whatever they want.I realised this fact in the worst way. I never thought turning down a silly offer would bring a nightmare to my life. Damien Porter is a demon with the skin of a human. That's what I found out the day when I was taken by his men and brought to him in darkness. I still remember that horrible day when I was surrounded by darkness in that empty room. I kept screaming and crying to break the shackles when he came in front of me. I still remember his creepy face when he walked toward me with his horrible smirk. I knew it was not going to end well. But I wasn't the kind
KaneMore than seventy days since Emily left. Seventy days since I have realised there's no way I can survive without her. Seventy days since I realised I love her more than I used to do years back. Seventy days since my life feels meaningless, full of emptiness. And today after those painful seventy days, I'm stepping out to bring her back again. But a part of me still emerged with fear.What if she refuses to come back to me.What if she has fixed her life again and my presence ruins it all for her. I have been selfish all my life, especially when it was about her. I have been greedy for her love, her existence in my life, her tender body in my arms. That greed increases each passing day. I keep battling with my thoughts while driving through a narrow parkway in between green fields, away from the busy city, the only place where I can find her or at least her exact location.Her parents' home. Emily can abandon everything but she can never abandon her mom. And I believe Auntie
KaneEthan said Emily asked him to hire a cab. She didn't tell him where she would exactly go. I believe she'll go back to Austin. After all, she has her dream job there, her family in her agency. But I'm not sure if she's gonna go back to David's company after this mess. If she goes there, I believe she'll know what I confessed at that party. She'll know Monica isn't my wife. I hope it'll give her some relief. Ethan insisted that I should meet her when she was leaving but I didn't go. I didn't think I'd be able to control myself. What if my mind changes and the bastard in me wakes up again and it tries to force her to stay back again. "She has left, Kane," Ethan says as I take a long stroke of smoke from the cigarette. I try to smile painfully, rubbing my eyes repeatedly. "Are you okay?" Ethan grabs my shoulder."I'm relieved," I tell him with a painful smile. "I'm proud of you, Young Master," Ethan says with a big smile of pride.*It's already been a week since Emily left for
EmilyWhen I opened my eyes I didn't expect to be in that place. I roll my eyes nervously around the room. For as long as I can remember I was near the Cascade last night. It was raining heavily. My heart was heavy. I don't remember how long I cried but gradually my brain started functioning. I recall every single thing from last night.I remember how all those disgust-filled eyes landed on me, how my entire existence felt nasty and sinful, and how I have literally spent thirty days with a married man. I cover my face with both hands and breathe heavily. I can't take this anymore. I just can't. Now, it doesn't hurt because the man I love the most is not mine. It hurts because the only thing I had as my own isn't there anymore. My dignity is tainted. And it hurts more than anything. Whatever happened to me throughout my life, I never felt like this before. But today, I have stooped so low in my own eyes. Gathering the sheets tightly against my chest, I close my eyes and strive to pr
