Emery's POV

"Why are you following me?" I angrily growled at Terrence who just lazily looked at me instead of answering. I'm entering a convenience store and he still followed me here. I'm just going to buy sanitary pads!

"Wait outside!" I growled at him again.

He shot an eyebrow up and looked at me. "No, I won't leave your side ever. I will stick with you until you give in and admit that there are things you can't do on your own."

I gritted my teeth as I glared at him. He volunteered to buy me sanitary pads but I'm so desperate to prove that I don't need him in any way. Yes, I needed him to save my mom's company but that's all. I want to prove to my dad that I don't need a man beside me. I don't need a husband with a good reputation to make me feel worthy.

Annoyed, I turned my back on Terrence and went to the sanitary pads section. I felt him still behind me and I couldn't help but roll my eyes everytime I got the chance.

I grabbed a pack of sanitary pads, alcohol and pain reliever b

Damn it!Roaming my eyes around, I realized I slept in the car and my lips parted after I realized I'm not alone in the car. Lying on the reclined driver seat was Emery. Her forehead was creased and she groaned when the knock continued beside her.I immediately rolled down the window beside me and stuck my arm out to call Tristan's attention. He went to my side and looked at me with a frowning face."Why did you sleep here—""Shh!" I cut him off and placed my finger in front of my lips.I tilted my head, urging him to look at the driver seat and his eyes widened after seeing Emery sleeping uncomfortably on the driver seat."What? You guys slept here? Are you serious?"I massaged my neck again. I leaned closer to the driver seat and unlocked the door before I went out of the car and opened the door of the driver seat. I carefully carried Emery in my arms. S

My father-in-law and my witch of a mother-in-law aren't here either. They're shopping and bored as hell!I declined Terrence's offer of giving me a job. I'm very confident that I don't need his pity or whatever. I can get a job of my own and never will I ever let him intervene with my life. I will prove to dad that I can survive on my own. I can feed myself without anyone's help."Argh!" I groaned again and sighed for the nth time today.The boredom is killing me. I'm not used to just sitting like this and doing nothing. I need to work. I need something to distract my mind because I'm going crazy!As I feel like my head is about to explode in boredom, my phone rang and my blood imme

    Emery's POV"Where have you been?"I looked at Terrence who immediately pulled himself up from the couch after I entered the house. His parents are both sitting on the long couch and on the other single couch was Tristan."Emery, I'm talking to you!""What can you expect from a girl who doesn't know what respect is?""Honey, stop it." If it wasn't for Mr. Gray, who's always kind to me, I would've rebutted Mrs. Gray's comment already.I sighed and sat on the other long couch as I put the paper bag I'm carrying beside me."And you still have the guts to go shopping when you're already jobless? And what did you do to your hair? You had it colored? How cheap!"I rolled my eyes and was about to say something when Terrence stood in front of me, blocking my view of his mother."Emery, let's talk upstairs."I crossed my legs. "What are we gonna talk about?""The issue online."I crossed my arms as I looked him in the eyes with a blank expression. "I supposed you already ordered someone to tak

    Emery's POV"Are you finally cooling down?"I lifted my face and looked at Tristan. He's walking towards me holding a glass of liquor. He really looks like Terrence. If his hair was curled, I'd think he's him. He also has dimples and blue eyes except Terrence's are darker.I frowned at him. "Do I look like a heating computer to you?"He laughed. "No. Just an overheating car."I rolled my eyes but I laughed. I snatched his glass and drank the liquor in one gulp."Woah! Easy, baby! That's a hard drink."I smirked and gave the empty glass back to him. "I didn't even flinch. Weak."He chuckled. "You know what? Had I known you needed help, I would have offered myself to you."I shot an eyebrow up and looked at him from head to foot. "Not bad. But I don't think you're a husband material.""What? That's very offensive!""Tell me about it!"He chuckled again and rested his back on the railing. We're in the lanai and it's already 10 PM but I couldn't sleep, so I came here.Tristan stared at my

You can win on other things, but not this. You are attracted to me and you can never deny it anymore."I swallowed hard, still unable to say anything when he suddenly grabbed me by the waist and pushed me inside his room. My eyes widened when he locked the door and slammed my back against it as he covered my mouth."Shh!" He moved closer to my ear. "I saw mom getting out of their bedroom."I swallowed hard. What?I pushed his hand away and pushed his chest. He let go of me and took a single step backwards. I fixed my clothes as I felt his intense eyes on me.I jumped when someone knocked on the door behind me."Terrence, son, are you still awake?"My eyes landed on Terrence. He licked his red and plu

"I know you're bored here and I don't wanna come home later with this house burned down to ashes after you and mom had it explode. So…"I frowned at him. "You're crazy! Why would I burn this house?"He chuckled and pulled himself up. He offered his hand to me and stared at my face. "Come on, Em. Do you play golf? Let's kill time playing.""I'm better at boxing."His forehead creased before his lips curved into an amused smile. "Really? Is that why you're violent?"I rolled my eyes. "Jerk!"He chuckled again and pushed his hands inside the pocket of his pants. "Boxing, then. I know a place. Let's go."I smirked at him. "You sure?"He leaned closer and his proud nose touched mine.

It's red and swollen. I sighed and moved to the sofa beside him as I gently touched the cut on his lips. He flinched and whispered a groan."Em, it stings.""I'm sorry," I breathe.He stared at my face and then smiled before he handed me a sandwich. "Here. Let's have a snack.""Thanks." I accepted the sandwich and examined it."It doesn't have veggies."I looked at him and smiled. "You memorized my dislikes."He smirked and bit on his sandwich. I bit on mine too and nodded as I chewed. It's delicious.I paused and my heart raced when his thumb reached the side of my lips and wiped something. He put it straight in his mouth and licked the mayo."Where do you wanna go after this?"

My money isn't enough to support me until I get my company back."Georgina nodded. "That's good. You're learning, Em."I frowned at her. "Learning?""You finally realize that it's not good wasting time.

I feel like this is the moment I've been waiting for but I don't want to expect, although he never disappointed me."We're having a date."I smiled at him. "Why in a yacht?""Because I don't want you to leave."My eyes squinted when I realized he's smirking. He's going back to his old self and it makes me happy."You won't be able to jump and swim from here with your dress."I glanced at my dress, perfectly hugging my body. My back was exposed and my cleavage was visible.I smacked his stomach. "You!"He chuckled and held my hand. He pulled a chair for me as I roamed my eyes around.

On my first day, I was introduced to my team and it turns out the team is busy on a project so I was tasked to print design proposals."Emery, I'm gonna get some coffee. Do you want some?"I looked at the man who asked. I smiled at him. I remember him. He was my classmate during high school and he still remembers me too."Thanks, but you don't really have to."He smirked. "I want to."I watched him leave but my smile faded when I saw the women in our department looking at us. I stood straight and pressed my lips together. Obviously, they don't like me."She just started but she's already flirting."My brow shot up. I don't tolerate such things but this is my first day at work, so I'd avoid making enemies…for today."I think I know her. She's familiar."I heard a sarcastic laugh. "Maybe she's a show girl.

I sighed and shook my head after I remembered what happened.I brought Kreed to a bar. We talked about Emery. He even confessed his feelings and insisted on courting her to get her back but I won't allow him."Did you know…Emery was my first girlfriend?"I looked at Kreed with a creased forehead. He's drunk. Okay, fine! I did it purposely. I poured him drinks continuously so he'd get drunk and he won't be able to show up tomorrow. I'm also a bit tipsy but he's worse. He couldn't even lift his head properly.He pointed at me. "You bastard! Why did you

    Emery's POVI was glaring alternately at Terrence and Kreed. They're both sitting in front of me. If I hadn't kicked their legs earlier, they wouldn't have stopped bickering. They fought even in front of Gabriel and it angered me."Why are you here?" Terrence asked Kreed coldly."I should be the one asking you that. Why are you here?"I squeezed my eyes closed and sucked my breath as I massaged my forehead. I love having Terrence here, but they're irritating me."Why don't you leave now?" I asked, keeping my temper."She's telling you to leave." They said in chorus and I looked at them with a grimace."I'm talking to both of you. Leave now or I'd drag you both out."Terrence looked at me. "You're kicking me out?""Yes!"He frowned and looked at me like a bullied kid. I sighed and shook my head.Kreed pulled himself up. "Yeah right. We should leave because we're going to talk, Gray."Terence let out a sarcastic laugh. "I don't talk to ugly people."I gritted my teeth. "Leave, you two!

My heart won't stop racing inside my chest as he stared back into my eyes with emotions I couldn't name. I want to know what's going on inside his mind. I'm curious about what he's thinking but I'm happy right now so I ignored my curiosity."What are you smiling at?" Terrence asked with a creased forehead.I smirked and shook my head. "Nothing.""What's in your head, Emery?"I opened my mouth to answer but my phone in my pocket rang. It was an unregistered number but I answered it immediately."Hello?"[Good afternoon, Miss Craig. This is from Xi Studio. You passed the interview and you can report to the company tomorrow.]I gasped and smiled at Terrence while thanking the staff who called me. "Thank you, sir! Thank you so much."The call ended and I stared at it happily. I can't believe my heart is jumping in happiness and excitement right now."What was tha

I remember the happiness in his eyes when he told me he wants a child. It melts my heart knowing he wants to build a family with me. Now it got me thinking, does his offer of spending forever with him still stand? I'm willing to bargain just to achieve the happiness and contentment I've been seeking my whole life."Papa, do you have a papa too?"Terrence chuckled and messed up Gabriel's hair. "Of course, buddy."Gabriel's eyes twinkled. "Can I see him?"Terrence nodded and took his phone out. "Here is my papa's picture. Soon, I'll introduce you to him."I swallowed hard.
