Emery's POVTerrence's plan was to indirectly cut Ethan's wings. He will try to acquire some shares in the company under a different name and after that, he will give it to me. He also suggested a rebranding of the company and I think that's a good idea.Thinking about it made me strongly believe that I can only trust him. He will always help me and will never let me down when it comes to things like this."Mrs. Gray, here are the documents that need to be reviewed before Mr. Gray signs."I lifted my eyes and looked at Dan. I'm sitting on the couch while checking Terrence's schedule for the whole week when he entered."Thanks, Dan."I started checking the documents as soon as Dan left. However, I saw some unnecessary expenses listed on the document.I went out of Terrence's office to look for Dan. I saw him photocopying something so I followed him."Dan."He flinched, startled, as he faced me and caressed his left chest. "Mrs. Gray. You need something?"I lifted the documents. It's no
Terrence's POV"Are you sure you want to do this? If that company fails, we will lose millions."I nodded confidently at dad while he's sitting on the swivel chair and I'm sitting in front of him. Between us was his working table. We're in his study and I consulted my plans to him."I will take the risk, dad. Emery needs it. She can't lose the thing she's been fighting for."He nodded. "It's your decision. She's your wife, anyway. But even if you succeeded in making her the CEO again, the confidence and trust of the shareholders and investors she lost won't be guaranteed. She's a prodigy in business, just like you. I can see that clearly, Terrence. If she has the resources, she would've taken her position back. But as I said, there's no guarantee that the shareholders and investors will trust a falling company again."I clenched my jaws. "I know that, dad.""So tell me. What are you planning after you give her back her company?"He knew me too well. I'm taking the risk and he knows th
Emery's POVI woke up smelling a nice aroma of meat. I slowly sat on the bed and roamed my eyes around while caressing my back. I still feel so sleepy and tired. My body is sore and my legs are still shaking but the scent of the meat forced me to open my eyes and made my stomach grumble. Argh! Who the hell is cooking?I opened my eyes and noticed that I'm wearing different clothes.It's a white button down shirt that covers my naked body until the half of my legs.A smirk curved on my lips as I remembered the steamy night I shared with Terrence. The gentleness of his eyes while his touch was aggressive. The softness of his voice while his lips were hungry. I couldn't take them off of my mind. I feel like I'd need a great distraction to get this off my head or I'll get crazy.The door swung open while I was reminiscing. Terrence, carrying a tray of food, entered. I shot an eyebrow up when our gazes met. He smirked and walked towards me. He put the tray of food on the bedside table befor
Emery's POV"What?" I frowned at Terrence who glanced at Kreed with a creased forehead. His eyes were cold and violent as if he wanted to create a hole on Kreed's face."Terrence!" I smacked his shoulder and that's when I got his attention. He looked irritated as he looked at me."Why is that frog here?"I rolled my eyes. "Terrence, we don't own this building.""Then I'm gonna buy it!""Terrence!" I pulled his arm, earning his full attention."What? He was abroad, right? He was there during the conference. And he's here again. Is he stalking you?"I sighed and stared at him. "You're overreacting."He pursed his lips and pointed at the punching bag. "Go on and practice your punches.""Or I can just punch you in the face?"He stared at me and then frowned. "You're defending him?"My eyes squinted. "Are you really accusing me of that?""Whatever! Can we just go to the ring? Imma show that frog that we're compatible in every way."My brow shot up. "Really, huh?"He smirked and pulled me t
Emery's POVJust like what I said, I will start my own business. With the help of Terrence's money that he'll lend to me, I'll open a small graphic design studio. I have a talent for graphic design too. I explored all my capabilities when I was still studying and worked on everything I can improve because I feel like I can use it in the future and this is the right time to use it."It's a good business. I'll have you as my graphic designer, then."I chuckled and shook my head. I'm working on my portfolio and flyers because I'm planning to start searching for investors and clients now. Before I open my business, I wanna make sure that I will have clients.Terrence was printing the flyers while I'm doing something on his computer. We're in his office and it's already 7 PM."Dan will send me all the rentable commercial spaces for your business. Just tell me if you already chose one and I'll talk to the owner for a possible discount."I smirked at him. "That's the help I needed."He smile
Emery's POVWhile Terrence is in the office, doing some paperwork, I decided to give out the flyers outside the company. Carrying a bag full of flyers, I went to the elevator alone but I met Tristan there."Em! Where are you going?"I waved one flyers in front of his face. "Gonna give out flyers for my business."He smirked. "Cool! I wanna come and help."My brow shot up. "Terrence is working and you're not?""I'm free. I already finished my paperwork for today.""Good for you, then. Start the paperwork for tomorrow."He laughed. "Come on, Em! We'll just make your work easier. If we're two, then we'll be able to finish it early."He's right. I know that too and I'm just joking earlier.I chuckled. "Whatever you want!"He smirked and followed me to the elevator."My cousin agreed on your terms?" He asked while we're inside the elevator.I looked at him with a hint of arrogance. "What else? He said and I quote… happy wife, happy life."His laughter broke as he shook his head and looked
Emery's POVMy heart skipped a beat when Terrence rushed to us. His eyes were full of anger and disappointment as Kreed hugged me even tighter, not wanting to let me go.I still couldn't move because Terrence's presence shocked me. He has always been irritated with Kreed and I know this incident makes him angry."Emery, please accept me again…"Terrence pulled me away from him. He was violent but still trying to be gentle as he pulled me.He landed his sharp gaze on Kreed. "Sad to say the woman you're asking to accept you is already married."Kreed gritted his teeth as he looked at Terrence. They're both angry and are showing dark expressions.Terrence hid me behind him, still holding my hand."Stop it. Let's go, Terrence," I said, interrupting them before they fight.Kreed turned to me and his eyes immediately softened. "Emery, please…""Respect her decision, man," Terrence said, annoyed. "She doesn't want to talk to you.""Stay out of this, man. This is between me and Emery."Terren
Emery's POVI squeezed my eyes closed as I walked slowly down the red carpet.It was my wedding day, yet my heart was only full of bitterness.The cold wind was embracing me, touching my bare skin that wasn't covered by the white wedding dress I was wearing. The veil was completely covering my whole face as the crowd watched me walk down the aisle.I don't know them and it's making me even more miserable."What does it feel to marry a man for money? You're always calling me a gold digger but it turns out you're also one." That was what my evil and pretentious stepmom said when she heard that I had an agreement with a man twice my age for money to save my mom's company.The situation is making me want to hurt everyone around me. I want to pull my stepmom's hair until she's completely bald and throw her out of my father's house ruthlessly."Don't be nervous. You're doing the right thing for our family, Em." That was what my dad said when he drove for me to get to this venue.I smiled bi
