Emery's POVI feel empty, sad, angry and everything negative. I want to hurt someone. I want to throw anything that my hand could grab. I want to shout. I want to scream."Fcker!" I whispered under my breath and laughed."Ma'am, someone's calling you."I lifted my face and found a man standing in front of me. His face was blurry."Ma'am, your phone has been ringing for almost 10 minutes."I gritted my teeth. "Give me more liquor.""Ma'am, you're already drunk."I glared at him. "What is it to you? Do you care for me, huh? Why do you care? Are you my family? My father doesn't even care for me. Why do you care?""Ma'am, I will answer your phone for you so you can go home."I looked down as I heard the word home. I don't have a home! My family's gone so I don't have something I can call my home. Dad doesn't care about me anymore. He chose his pretentious woman and douchebag of a stepson."...yes, sir."My forehead creased as I looked at the bartender in front of me. I snatched my bag whe
Emery's POVMy head is hurting so bad. I feel like it's going to explode. The sunlight isn't even helping and is only making it worse.I angrily got off the bed and walked towards the window like a freaking zombie. I closed the blinds and dropped my body on the bed again.I'm jobless. That's what made me open my eyes again.I stared at the ceiling thinking about everything that happened last night. I got wasted. I punched Terrence, cursed him and even threw up on his pants. After that we went home. He carried me to my room and woke up a female househelp to change my clothes.Sighing, I cupped my aching head and grabbed my hair. I need to find a way to get my company back and I remember Terrence asking about it last night.I grabbed my phone from the bedside table and dialed Terrence's number.[Emery…]I bit my bottom lip. Why does his voice sound so sexy?I cleared my throat. "Where are you?"[Office. Why?]Nodding, I rolled on the bed and lay on my stomach. "Nothing. Thanks for last
Emery's POVIt's just a normal accident, but why can I see the man riding the motorcycle staring at me creepily. I'm sitting behind the opened ambulance while the medic was giving me first aid. The man riding the motorcycle wasn't hurt. He just had bruises on his arm and the police are talking to him. Strangely, his eyes were on me."Ouch!" I growled at the female medic when she moved my arm."Sorry…"I pursed my lips and looked around. From the other side of the road, I saw Terrence getting out of his car with a creased forehead. His eyes immediately found me and he jogged towards my direction.My lips parted, realizing how hot and handsome he was while jogging towards me as his hair dances in the air everytime he moves."What happened?" He panted a little when he stopped in front of me.I looked away and my eyes landed on my car. "Just a minor accident.""Minor? I can see that you're badly injured, Em."I looked at him again and shot an eyebrow up. "You're overreacting, Terrence.""
Emery's POVThe loud ringing of my phone woke me up while I was resting. It's already 6 in the evening and I immediately sat on the bed after seeing the name registered on the screen of my cell phone. It's my best friend Goergina. I bet she heard what happened in my mom's company."Hello, George."[Em, meet me in the Red at 7PM sharp. You better not stand me up, darling.]I shot an eyebrow up. "Hunk hunting went wrong?"[My best friend's perfect life went really, really wrong. Why did I see an article saying that Ethan fcking Craig is the new CEO of your company? Kindly enlighten me please because I'm really confused as hell right now.]I took a deep breath and stared at my own reflection in the mirror. She didn't hear about my accident today. I'm relieved no one published an article about it. Must be Terrence's doing."I might be a little late, George."[Argh! Whatever. Just make sure you won't come at twelve midnight. Cinderella's meeting someone tonight, darling. Getting laid is th
Emery's POV"Why don't you check the CCTV footage of the bar. I'm sure it caught whoever framed me up for this," I said annoyingly to the officer incharge of my case.He stopped typing on his computer and lifted his face to look at me. "We have already reviewed the CCTV, ma'am but the bar was crowded. It's hard to tell if someone really framed you up."My eyes squinted. "Are you saying I owned that narcotics? Me? Why would I freaking sell narcotics? I'm rich!"Georgina caressed my back, comforting me as she spoke. "Officer, can't you just let my best friend go? She's injured.""I'm sorry, ma'am. We just really need her to resolve this case. If the drug was really hers, she should face the consequences—""I said it's not mine!""It was found in your bag, ma'am.""So, what? Does it always mean I own it?"Georgina groaned. "I'm calling my lawyer!""I already called Mrs. Gray's husband, ma'am."I lifted my eyes to the police officer who walked behind me. He's the same officer who was inch
Emery's POVI stood on the side of the road, looking at nothing in particular. My mind was blank and I felt empty. There's a hollow in my heart and the sadness is eating me alive as Terrence's words echoed in my mind like a freaking corrupted CD.For him I was just throwing a fit. For him I was rebelling because I want a position that according to him, I don't deserve. It hurts. For days, I've seen his kindness and it disappointed me because I thought he'd side with me. He doesn't really care and I've proven it tonight.Taking a deep breath, I started walking until I stopped on the bridge. I rested my elbow on the railing and stared at the deep water under the bridge.Glancing at my injured arm, I sighed again. Good thing I'm wearing a coat because the wind is starting to get cold.What should I do? I need to take my mom's company back but I know I can't do that so easily. At least, the easiest way is to wait for Ethan to make mistakes but I don't know if he'll make the same mistake h
Emery's POVI was squeezing myself in the door of the passenger seat while Terrence was driving the car. He keeps on hissing and glancing at me while I remained staring at the road, thinking about what he said a while ago.He said I looked fckable when angry and with messy hair. Was he always teasing me because I make him hard?My cheeks heated because of the vulgar words lingering in my mind.Why am I even thinking about that? He's a pervert and he only said that so I'd stop resisting.Argh!‘...you look fckable…'It's playing inside my mind like a damn CD. I can't forget about it and as silly and stupid as it may sound but it's making me feel hot."Will you stop making that kind of face? It's irritating me!"I now have the courage to look at him. I shot him death glares."Can you blame me? You blackmailed me, you asshole!"He glanced at me again and laughed without humor. "You think I'd do the first move? Even if I want to bed you, I won't force you. I'll wait until you can no longe
Emery's POVI was sitting boredly on the couch while doing nothing. I'm bored as fck, alright! I want to go out but I don't know where to go. Plus my injured arm is irritating me and it's really eye-catching. People would talk about my injured arm and my life is already as messy as my mother-in-law's face."How's life being jobless, huh?" My mother-in-law was walking down the stairs, looking at me with a mischievous smile on her lips.I smiled sweetly at her. "I think you can explain it better, mother-in-law. You've been jobless ever since you got married, right?"Her smile slowly faded. "I don't need to work because I am the light of this family. My son and husband are providing for me. Besides, I'm not like you who'd rather drown herself in paperwork than take care of her husband!"I chuckled. "Mrs. Gray, I'm sure your son can take care of himself since he's not invalid. Why would I stop working just so I can take care of him?""That is your duty as his wife! Why did my son even cho
