2024-10-29 19:42:56Emma's POV
It had been two weeks and I hadn't heard from Ethan. He didn't called or text me or even bother to show up at my apartment. I couldn't help but wonder if I had pushed him away completely without knowing. I knew what I said to him was hurtful, but I did apologize in the end and I tell him how I really felt. Of course, I didn't want to lose him so soon, but something was telling me to stay away from him a while longer.
I had agreed to Roger's asking me to attend an evening event with him. He had been asking for a week so I finally gave in and told him that I would accompany him as a friend. I elaborated on the term "friend". I knew he was attracted to me, but I wasn't about to complicate my life with two gorgeous men.
Working as the receptionist at the complex was going well, so far. Roger had coached me on everything I was to know and I'd caught on pretty easily. I was a fast learner; that was one thing I admired about myself.

Emma's POVI looked at my wrist watch again. It was one in the morning and I was becoming sleepy but the entertainment was amazing. Celine Dion was performing her hits, and I loved me some Celine. "Enjoying yourself?" Ethan asked, moving closer to me.We were alone in his private booth, which had the best view in the place, with comfortable seats and cooling units."Yes, I am," I said, yawning."You're sleepy baby," he said, hugging me and laying me on his lap like a baby. He rubbed my back softly."Stop. You're gonna make me fall asleep if you continue to do that," I told him, removing his hand."Do you want to leave now?""Yeah," I said with another yawn.He took me in his arms and carried me, bridal style, with my arms around his neck while I laid against his hard chest, listening to his heartbeat. It was like music to my ears. I missed that.I was placed in a black
IMPERFECT Maid Chapter 48: Preparation
Ethan's POVI was at the office but I couldn't focus on the task at hand at the moment. My mind kept going back to what happened earlier, the way she got me to lay with her and show up late. I kept wondering if I'd see her when I got home, if she'd be there waiting for me on the bed, or if she'd be gone without a trace.She said she would be leaving.I raked my fingers through my hair, heaved a frustrated sigh and went back to paperwork.Ten minutes in, my office door opened and the sound of heels hitting the tiles was heard. I glanced up and noticed Linda standing close to my desk with a smirk on her face, and she started bouncing her nails on the surface of my desk.I closed the folder. "Can I help you?" I asked in annoyance.Although she was the COO, I didn't appreciate her just walking into my office and looking seductive. It was unprofessional. I had already explained to her that what happened between us was a mistake and wa

I had moved back into his mansion, putting the past behind us and falling in love all over again. I quit the receptionist job and was making plans on starting my own business venture. Ethan said he'd support in every way. I was relying on him for that.We dressed together, he wore a sharp black Armani and I wore a long black lace dress from Torick's. We looked absolutely adorable together.As we descended the stairs the household staff cheered and clapped for us as if we were royalty. Well, we kinda were, my arm wrenched in his.He opened the door for me to his black Bentley. I sat down comfortably as he got into the driver's seat and started the car."You look so damn beautiful tonight," he said and planted a kiss on my lips."And you look so handsome right now."He gave a smirk and drove out of the gar
IMPERFECT Maid Chapter 50: Double Up
Emma's POVI was pacing the room back and forth and in circles. I turned off the television for the third time, but I didn't want to feel alone. I turned it back on and sat down on the huge bed, feeling drained and scared.Ethan had already left for work and I didn't want to get his attention yet, so I didn't call him.I felt like I was burning up so I undressed and stepped into the shower, turning the water cold until I felt better.I toweled off my wet skin and changed into pajamas. I walked to the patio for a breath of fresh air because I felt like I was drowning with sorrow and happiness.Chef served my breakfast, but I couldn't eat. I couldn't even stand the sight of the meal. I wished I had a dog so I could just toss the food over to it.Ethan came home at six but headed to the office to complete a task.Afterward, he met me upstairs in the bedroom."Hey baby, how was your day?" he asked as he entere

Sharon's POVI didn't killed his mom; it was an accident. The gun went off and she was dead. I pulled her body out to the woods and left her there, wrapped in a black bed sheet. I had already received the false identities and done a makeover. I couldn't even recognize myself. My blonde hair was now black and I was tan. I loved it.When I got back to the States, I rented an apartment not too far from the mansion. If I sat on my patio, I had a perfect view of it.There were more security guards so it would be very difficult to get in unseen. Emma even had a personal bodyguard who followed her around in public if Ethan wasn't with her. It was going to be difficult to get her alone now. And rumor had it that she was pregnant again— with bloody twins!My blood boiled and my jaw tightened looking at the huge mansion, sitting there on the hill like a kingdom, mocking me with its presence. I wanted to burn it to the ground with Ethan and Emma inside

I rolled out of bed and headed to the bathroom where I freshened up and dressed in something more comfortable. I was dreadfully hungry and Ethan was nowhere in sight.He must have gotten up earlier and went to the morgue.I took my purse and headed to the restaurant for a bite, Anton and Brad following close behind. They were dressed in strictly black and wore black stylish eye glasses. They, basically, resembled the main characters in the movie Men in Black.As we walked, we got attention from many on-lookers. Some taking pictures while others were pointing, and others saying hello to us. I couldn't engage in conversation with anyone; they spoke Italian and I just couldn't understand.Nevertheless, I ate peacefully— fish sticks and pancakes. Ethan had told me I should start eating healthier so I added a side of mixed vegetables.&nbs

She left and left me wondering what that was all about.After I completed my twenty miles and refreshed, I went to check on Emma. She was still fast asleep, wrapped up in the sheets like a burrito.

If I did, I would've smelled gasoline before leaving home with the car!"I was in a fit of rage because this stupid cop kept telling me that the explosion was an accident caused by a leak in my gas tank. I knew damn well that I didn't have a leak. I couldn't have a leak when that car was newly bought just two weeks ago. I loved my cars as if they were my children and I gave them the best servicing in the world from top to bottom, exterior to interior."Mr. Hollen, calm down; we're looking into it for further investigation.""Where's my fiancee?""She's just outside this door having a glass of water.""She's pregnant and I don't want her being upset anymore.

It was funny how they were talking about me and I standing right there. They knew I would hear them so, of course, they were seeking my attention, and I ignored them.I continued to get my textbooks and closed my locker when one of them said his name-- my Sebastian's name.

IMPERFECT Maid Chapter 68: Emily
Emma's POVI watched my family sitting around the dinner table, eating the food I prepared. Ethan was at the head table, eating away at his delicious juicy steak. Evan was eating slowly because he was texting on his phone, which he hid underneath the table so I wouldn't notice. Emily was looking at the food carefully and always asking if it was going to make her fat or if it was full of calories. EJ was eating like the good boy he ought to be. His behavior had changed around for the better. He had made friends with everyone in his classroom and we had no more bad reports about his temper.I couldn't help but look at what I'd accomplished with the man of my dreams. Never had I thought I'd be here in life, sitting in a mansion around a huge dinner table with my own family. Everyone in the foster homes and group homes told me I was worthless and I'd amount to nothing in life. No one loved me, cared for me or protected me-- even my parents deserted me.

EJ had gotten into a fight with another kid in his class."First, Ethan Junior is a very brilliant and intelligent student. He's punctual and brave. Over there is what I call the Star Chart," she pointed to a poster on the wall that had the names of students and the stars they received for their academic performance.EJ had a full line. I was impressed. But there was another line for conduct and behavior, his had only one star while other students were all above five. I was disappointed, and Ethan was too. His eyes were getting darker and darker as he looked at our son."Ethan Junior has a temper that needs serious controlling. He got into a fight with another kid last week because that child accidentally s

I bathed yesterday already.""Evan!"He was running in all the corners and hiding spaces in his room so I couldn't reach him. It has been seven perfect years."Evan, if you don't come out of there I'm going to call your dad!""No! Don't call daddy. I'm coming out mommy!"He appeared in front of me smiling innocently like an angel. Well, at least threatening him by putting his dad on his case worked.I handed him his bath towel and toothbrush and led him to the bathroom. I turned the temperature of the water to warm."I don't want you to watch me bathe this time mommy. I'm a big boy and I could do it myself.""Okay, my big boy," I said with a smile and sat down on his bed."Mommy. Mommy!" Emily called from outside."I'm in your brother's room!" I called, hoping

I watched as my soon-to-be husband took the baby boy out of the crib and placed him against his hard chest.Evan stopped cried and began to smile in the arms of his father.
