Emery's POVI yawned and messed my hair in annoyance. My arm cast has been removed and I can now freely move my arm. As for the bruise on my right fist, it's still visible but I'm wearing bandages to hide it.I'm alone in the house. Tristan left with Terrence to work. Tiffany, I don't know about that brat. 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
Emery's POVI parted my lips as I looked into his eyes burning with desire. The fingers he used to touch my folds are now in my stomach, making circles, adding to the fuel in the flame inside my body.He moved his face closer and his lips grazed mine gently."Admit your defeat now, Emery. 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
Emery's POVI gave the paper to Terrence after signing it and he immediately signed it too. Thereafter, he put it back in the brown envelope and looked at me."Let's go somewhere."I shot an eyebrow up. "You're not going back to your company?"He shrugged his shoulders. "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. He glanced at my lips before he looked i
Emery's POVI was wiping my sweat while sitting on the couch when Terrence sat across from me. He stared at my face and I shot an eyebrow up, wondering why he's staring like that."Are we cool now?" He asked, not taking his eyes off of my face.My eyes then landed on the cut on his lips. 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?" He asked.I swallowed
Emery's POV"So you'll accept your husband's offer?" Georgina shot an eyebrow up while sipping on her juice. We're in the pool area of Terrence's house. She visited me here because today is the weekend and I'm alone again. Terrence had an urgent meeting and his cousin is with him. Mr. Gray was in their bedroom since he's having a headache and the evil mother-in-law is somewhere again.I sighed. "He offered me to be his personal assistant. I don't wanna work under him but I'm dying of boredom here. And while I'm thinking of a way to get my company back, I'll work so I can provide for myself. 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. So…you're gonna talk to him later?""Yes…""How shameless!" My voice was drowned because of that voice.I looked behind me and Mrs. Gray was standing while looking at us with an angry face.I crosse
Emery's POV"Put these schedules on your ipad. This is for this week. I'll ask Dan later to give you a copy of my schedule for the next few weeks."I looked at him in disbelief. "You still managed to spend time with me even when you're this busy?"He lifted his face and smirked at me. He's standing behind his desk, getting something inside the drawer. "Told you I'm on hubby training."I chuckled and shook my head. I started putting his schedule on my ipad while he's doing something. Later we're gonna leave for his business trip. I'm coming with him since I'm now his personal assistant."Here. Wear this."I lifted my face and looked at him. I was shocked when I saw him with a pair of wedding rings. It's simple and yet elegant. From the level of my vision, I could see some letters engraved on the ring. The smaller one has TG and the bigger one has EC engraved on them.I swallowed hard as I felt my heart racing. "What…was that for?""Wedding ring," he said so simply like it was nothing.
