EMILY

Something possesses me and I gather the courage to look deep into his dark and cold eyes for the first time. I don't look away. I don't feel the terror. I keep holding him until his clenched arm gradually gets stable and the burn in his eyes lessens.

The eye contact becomes deeper and deeper without passing a single word. I decrease the gap between us and stare greedily at his handsome face. A smile appears on my face out of nowhere as if I'm trying to calm him down with it.

"Calm down"

I can still hear him groaning. Getting close enough, I place my other hand on his chest. His skin is burning hot and his heart is racing so fast that I can never imagine experiencing it. He doesn't blink even for a while as he gazes at me, his eyes are empty— as if they are hollow for years, running out of emotions.

What have you done, Emily?

"Calm down, please", I whisper.

I don't know why for the first time I blame myself for turning him into this. My heart oozes as I dive deeper and deeper

  • I Kissed My Ex-boyfriend, & It Went Wrong   Chapter 19 : Evil woman

    EMILYMy eyes are aching and burning when I strive to open them as my alarm goes off. I keep my eyes closed for a while. It's been years since I cried like this. It's easy to tolerate anything but such a kind of humiliation. Every day, Kane makes me realise my actual worth and it stings like nothing else. I'm convinced that I mean nothing to him now. It was my stupidity that I started to fall for him again. I open my eyes to a new morning and look down, feeling the familiar weight on me. His head is placed on my breast, his hands wrapping around my eyes.I take a moment to absorb the view with my hollow eyes. I used to wonder how someone can be obsessed or addicted to someone while hating them the most. Kane's unnatural addiction to me gave me some false hopes. He's near me because he's just addicted to having me, caging me and fucking me the way he wants. So, how does it feel to be treated like an object, Emily?I sarcastically laugh at myself. My damn self-esteem, on which I was p

    KaneIt takes my breath away and I don't know how I'm holding myself stable. I squeeze her wrist harder so she stops messing with me here. I lower my head and press my lips, inhaling harder and gulping my saliva down. This is getting on my nerves now."Mr Gabriel, are you alright?" With David's voice, Emily finally releases me down there as I shove her hand aside.Crazy woman!I shoot her a glare and clear my throat, finally focusing back on the work. "I think we'll need the opinions of all our partners before finalising it, Mr Smith""I think you're right. We can wait for Mr Desmond to join", he says.The conference closes for the day and the lights go on. I immediately gaze up at Emily. She gathers her belongings and gets onto her feet, smirking at me again before she initially follows others outside the conference room.I half for a moment in there, figuring out whether whatever just happened is even true or a dream. It's not a freaking dream. I can sense my erection. Clenching

    EmilyI keep holding my phone in tension, knowing Kane might have talked to mom. "Hello!" Mom's voice comes again. I clear my throat and pull a smile across my face. "Mom""Emily," her voice is full of confusion and surprise. "I don't know why I felt like I heard Kane. Was that Kane?"How am I gonna lie to her? There's no point in lying. I hope she's gonna understand. "Hmm," I can't speak anything else."Really? It was him? Did you guys get back together?" She chirps. Mom is hardly excited lately and I know how badly she wanted me to end up with Kane when we were together. Even my dad. Our friends. Colleagues. Everyone. "Mom!" I let out a deep sigh. "Nothing like that. I'm just working on a project with Kane. That's it. We're just— partners"I don't hear anything from mom for a few seconds as if she's disappointed. "Mom""Yes. I'm here. Actually, I got excited. I thought he—""How are you, mom?" I switch the topic since I know it's not worth talking about. "I'm fine. How're you?

    KaneMy heart literally stops beating for a whole moment before it starts beating like never before. I smash her against my body, consuming her completely and tighten my grip to stop her from shivering like that. My chest fills with her hot breath and wet tears. I can feel her heart throbbing against my chest, just like mine is pounding to get her like this. I kiss her forehead again. "Em! Calm down, baby. Relax""I miss him," she whimpers just like a child. "Mom misses him""I know. Now, I miss him too," I tell her, caressing her back gently. "But you should not cry like this—""I never cried ever since he left, Kane. I didn't shed a tear until now," she confesses. I'm too stunned to accept that confession. She didn't cry? Why? Out of trauma? Then why now? Why in my arms? I don't know how to take this. But I feel like I should let her cry as much as she wants. It takes me enough time to come back to reality and let my subconscious take over, but she doesn't let me go. She digs h

    KaneWhere the fuck is she? I storm out of the cottage, groaning in anger after spending a long frustrating moment finding Emily. It freaked me out as soon as I realised she wasn't in the cottage at this hour. It's freaking dark all around. Her phone is switched off. Katherine told me Emily was in the cottage when she left. That means Emily left a couple of hours ago. This woman has sworn to take a test of my patience. How could she even dare to step out when I literally asked her not to? I guess I gave her more than she deserved. For a whole week, I have been spoiling her. No wonder why she could again start being a brat. "The number you have called is currently not available. Please try—"I cut the call, seething, "Damn you, Emily. I swear you're gonna regret doing this shit with me"I don't know what's pissing me off. Deep inside, I can feel the tension building inside me but I struggle and let my sanity win.I'm angry. I'm not worried.I'm not worried.Ranting to myself, I get

    Kane"Plead to you?" I seethe and pause, my eyes landing on Emily. That sharp ache against my chest pesters me again. Her hand is swelling. Her condition is worsening. She needs immediate medication. That's all that keeps roaming inside my head. I close my eyes for a second and swallow my anger down. "Stanford, please," I groan, anger rumbling into my stomach. "That didn't sound like a pleading. Did it?" He laughs and looks around his men. The next moment, I can hear all of them laugh. I look up, feeling helpless like never before. "Please, get my car. I beg you," my voice quivers, the tension building rapidly inside me. At this moment, I can see nothing but her. "Please," I repeat and this time I feel my voice breaking. Stanford grins and raises his hand towards his men, implying something. The next moment, finally that asshole is satisfied enough to give my car back. I don't waste another second over there and put Emily in the backseat. Getting into the driving seat, I hus

"You care for me?" His voice softens, making my heart skip. His tone is somehow mixed with surprise and bliss— at least that's what I can feel. I lift my eyes and find his calm eyes darting at me. "Yes", I confess again."You— you care for me?" A sarcastic laugh from him makes my heart sink again. "I do", I blurt out of nowhere as if I'm trying my best to make him believe. However, he chooses to make fun of my confession.He laughs— aloud. It breaks my heart as the way I can see him not trusting my feelings. He eventually laughs at it. I lower my head, trying my best to hold my tears back. "Care for me!" He repeats while mocking and pushes himself back. I don't explain anymore. I don't want to. "You care for me, Emily?" He abruptly leans down to me again, his ruddy eyes scorching at me. His lau

    Emily Suzanne, Joanne and others stay till the afternoon. It's time to get discharged. Ethan and Katherine have arrived for the procedures. I didn't see Kane the entire day. The last time I saw him was last night. He walked out angrily. That's it. Did he really not come to see me the entire day? And I unknowingly kept waiting for him. I don't know what happened to me suddenly. I'm drawn closer to him again. I crave his presence around me even if he's mean and rude to me most of the time. I never thought I would be able to focus on him with my girls around. The entire day they were here. Around me. Still, I kept thinking about Kane."Please sign here, Mr Gabriel," I hear the doctor saying outside. My heart twists right away as I look next to me straight. Through the small window attached to the door, I can see his face as he talks to the doctor. An automatic smile rips across my face. He looks over at me. Our eyes meet for a second. My smile vanishes with the way his eyes land on

    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

  • I Kissed My Ex-boyfriend, & It Went Wrong   Chapter 44 : Nothing makes sense

    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
