Someone shook me. "Em Em Emberly."I flinched and looked at Adrian. He was looking at me while his glance darted around"I'm not sure." I opened my mouth but nothing came out."It's okay, don't rush, "he smiled and cupped my face.Ahm Ahm, "the sound of someone coughing makes us look at the person."It's a man in his mid-sixties. He was wearing simple cotton shorts with a printed shirt and had an old-looking outdated camera."May I take your photos, please. You both look like or I think you are newlyweds. This is an amazing place for lovers. They say that Aphrodite, our Greek goddess of love, has a special blessing in this place. That's why many couples fall in love here," he told us smiling."Wow, this is a new thing. I've got to know it today," I smiled."Thanks, can I take your pictures?" he asked."Sure, please," Adrian said with the widest ever smile and quickly took hold of my waist, pulling me towards him. I rested my hands over his chest as he pressed me more against him."Yes
Adrian povShe begged me to help her as the waves launched themselves at her, sending her plummeting to the bottom of the sea, but I turned away from her and tightened my hands into fists.I want to save her and get her out of that damn water, but if I do, she won't ever be able to stand up for herself again. I don't want her to be a weak, helpless shell; instead, I want her to be strong enough to stand up for herself.One thing became evident when her brother Asher informed me of her illness and how her uncle, aunt, and other members used to abuse and torment her.She is so weak that she is incapable of standing up for herself.She must thus embrace her inner rebel, have the will to overcome obstacles and stand up for herself.And in order to learn, she must experience the threat to her life or soul damage that will awaken the spirit of retaliation within her. If I wanted to, I could jump in to save her in a matter of seconds, but I won't; she must do this in order to ensure that no
Adrian yelled into the phone, "Yes, do it right away; I want him in jail."We returned to New York yesterday night, and I had a great time there, especially with Nan. As I was unloading the baggage, I realised why Adrian's mother is so kind: she is Nan's daughter.I put my clothing in the closet and whispered, "Whom you want behind the bars, Adrian."Adrian gave me a sidelong glance and said, "Nothing extraordinary."He told me "Emberly, "Well, I've engaged a trainer for you.""Trainer," I scowled at him.Adrian looked at his watch and said, "Yes, a trainer, he will teach you self defence, and how to fight if someone physically abuses you."I asked, tapping my foot, "But why.""Every girl has to learn it," he explained, "so that no one can physically assault her."I furrowed my brows and said, "And, what makes you believe that I need it at this moment?"Did he know anything about me, particularly about my traumatic past?He shook his head in response to "how many inquiries you've aske
Adrian POVI gripped the steering wheel so hard in my car while going towards that place.Skylar told me that that fucker bastard uncle ran away from jail and he called Emberly to meet him. He even said something to her which made her furious too.Why the hell did Emberly go there? Yes, I want to make her fearless, but not this time. It's different than that bastard uncle and aunt of hers. I don't trust them.I drove my car in a rash as I wanted to be there as soon as possible. I won't be able to tolerate it if they hurt her. I can't afford to lose her.Not at any cost. I can't tolerate it if even a hair of her body hurts. I will kill them.Since when she became this special to me, I used to hate her when I had to know that she was in Sarah Winston's place as a bride at a wedding.I thought that she was a gold-digger, an opportunist, and a betrayer. That's why I hurt her when she came into my mansion.How wrong I was about her. She's an angel indeed. I will never be able to forgive my
Emberly POVWhen I opened my eyes, I saw Mom sitting next to my bed, Skylar pacing, and Dad looking extremely concerned. I felt someone's hand caressing my head in a caring manner."She'll be a good doctor, right?" Even from Mom's voice, it was clear that she was quite concerned.Dad asked the doctor, "How's the doctor? Is there something serious?"She'll be fine, and don't worry, Mr. Campbell, the internal bleeding in her body can be healed with medicines and light liquid food. Just make sure she doesn't eat hard food and always eat light liquid food for at least three months, as the chances of healing her internal bleeding are higher with it. Please make sure she eats light and green vegetables, as her internal injuries can be healed more quickly by medicines and green light food," the doctor told him, and he nodded."She's awake," Skylar chirped when she noticed me.Everyone was looking at me. Skylar quickly approached the bed where I was lying."Em, how're you feeling, my girl?" M
Before entering Adrian's Study, I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and gulped.I don't care what the consequences will be. All I know is that I'm in love with him and this is the truth.I entered his study while clutching the knob of the door so hard."A... Adrian," I murmured, and finally saw him.He was sitting on the large chair beside his table, looking absently at some papers in his hand.I went closer towards him. "Adrian," I said, and he quickly snapped his head in my direction."Emberly," he stands and turns to face me."What happened is that everything is fine?" I asked, fidgeting my fingers.He nodded, looking around. I don't know, but I felt that he was avoiding eye contact with me."Nothing, Em, do you need anything?" he inquired softly."A... I want to tell you something," I said while biting my lip."Sure, go ahead,""I... I love you," finally, I confessed. An unknown fear settled in my heart after saying this. I felt so cold around my chest."What?" he asked with wid
6 years later........I quickly ran towards Kitchin as I heard the sound of something breaking, more like the breaking of glass.I went there and my eyes widened. I found the bottle of Nutella shattered on the floor, and Elvin, my five-year-old son, standing beside it."El," I said, and he turned to face me, his black eyes widened like his father's.His eyes filled with tears. "Moma, I didn't do that intentionally."My heart melted looking at my son. He's the result of all the good deeds I did in my past."It's okay, baby, I'm not going to scold you. Are you alright? Did you get hurt?" My heart started pounding in my chest just with the thought of him getting hurt. I love him so much, I can't tolerate any kind of trouble for him.He shook his head and pouted. I hugged him, kissing his cheeks."Come, you must be hungry. Let me feed you." I took him towards the dining room and made him sit on his small baby chair.I walk towards the kitchen and make his favourite cheese sandwich with hi
This is Book 3 of Billionaire series, it's a short Billionaire romance, The love story ofAaron Knight and Eternity Granger.This is a standalone novel.**************Eternity povSlowly and reluctantly, I uncover my face. I blink, close my eyes, and blink again. Streaks of sunlight penetrate the window and blind me. I sit up, drag my feet off the bed, and rub my knuckles into my eyes. I stretch my arms above my head and yawn.I live in my apartment in New York. Of course, I am 21 years old and I didn't live with my parents.My bedroom is small compared to the living room of my apartment, but I can still fit everything I need into it. I have a bed right in the middle of my squarish room, which takes up quite a bit of space, but I like it that way. You may find me laying there reading a book in the natural light coming through my window, which is my main source of light. The storage is great because it is hidden away above my wardrobe, which is built into the wall, although most of my

He lifted his hand to touch me but, I quickly jerked backward"Don
"You didn't attract from me," He said to smirk while coming towards me I started going backward, soon I bumped into a wall of the kitchen he cage me between his arms his eyes are on my lips, I blushed so hard feeling his intense gaze over me and the next thing he does is very surprisingNext moment he pressed his lips over mineI quickly grabbed the hem of his shirt in a halt with a small gasp, he is kissing me His lips brushed mine. Not innocent, like a tease, but hot, fiery, passionate, and demanding. I want to pull away before I lose myself, but I can't seem to...In this minty moment, my senses have been seduced and I can no longer think straight. "Eternity," he whispers slowly, prolonging each letter as if to savor them. I arched my head back closing my eyes, when his hand reaches my thighs and he clutched my waist so tightly, my heart fluttering at his voice as I clasp my hands on either side of his shoulders and gripped his shoulders. Never before has my name ever felt so wonder
When I saw a shooting star, I quickly gripped the hem of my shirt, I am wearing simple pyjama pants with a shirt, and I have felt that familiar sensation since childhood whenever I saw a shooting star, my insides always felt so light with a strange feeling that everything is going to be alright soon, even though I don't know why, but somewhere I am feeling that soon everything is going to be just fine, I quickly closed my eyes and joined my hands and started making a wish to star."God', I hope that I will soon be able to show my innocence to Aaron so that his hatred for me will disappear; I'm not sure what will happen after that, but I can't stand his hatred,"!!My eyes were closed and I was slowly regressing; I don't know when I bumped into someone, but I gasped as I felt it. As I was ready to fall because of a sudden chill (dread), someone seized me and wrapped his arms around my waist possessively.I slowly opened my eyes and saw the most stunning set of crystal blue deep eyes sta
"Oof!" I yelled.Arron abruptly halted and turned around, his gaze falling on my wounded leg, and he jogged towards me."What happened, are you all right?" he inquired, frowning and lightly rubbing my hurt leg."I slipped off so my leg," I explained to him, gulping and closing my eyes as I winced from the pain in my ankle. A small amount of blood is also on the way."Seriously, girl, why are you so clumsy and silly, huh, you can't even look after yourself?" With wrinkled brows and a straight gaze into my eyes, he remarked, shaking his head.I scowled and let out a little gasp as I looked at him. "It's not my fault, what can I do if I fall by accident, you're acting as if I did it on purpose," I said to him.As my shoulders slumped back, he checked my leg again, rubbing it tenderly, and I closed my eyes, biting my lips and swallowing the anguish in my leg."I'll take you inside your room," I split my lips slightly tasting his scent as he cradled me in his arms, my head resting on his
I noticed that man who was quite helpful, He's the same age as Aaron and is dressed in an Armani suit. With black hair and sea-blue eyes, he is rather attractive, but not as much as Aaron."Thank you," I said earnestly, my eyes crinkling."Anything for a gorgeous lady," he remarked with a grin."Well, my name is Issac Raccio, and I am the CEO of Raccio Communications and Limited Cooperation," he says. He smiled as he spoke to me."Oh, my name is Eternity Grang......, Um Knight," I said.He took my hand in his and kissed it."So, you're Aaron Knight's wife," he said, maintaining eye contact with me.I nodded and shifted my gaze to the way.He spoke to me while squirming and said, "Your name is genuinely very charming, beautiful name of the beautiful lady.""Thank you again for your kindness," I told him, noting that it was thoughtful of him to give me with tissue so quickly; otherwise, a chocolate stain would ruin my beautiful gown, which would be quite uncomfortable.He had said to
Wow, Eter, you are very stunning.Olivia chirped, her fingers splayed and one palm covering her eyes, beaming as if she saw Lilly Collins in front of her.I'm dressed to the nines.The crimson fuchsia high-low dress is cut vertically at the hemline, making it short in some places and long in others. The sheath prom gown clings to the body and conceals nothing.It clung to my body like a second skin.It's stunning.I don't know much about cosmetics or getting ready, so I asked Olivia to help me pick out a dress and apply my makeup for today's banquet party, which I'll be attending with Aaron."Wow, Eternity, you are looking so gorgeous," Amy exclaimed as she entered the room." Aaron is really lucky to have a gorgeous wife like you darling.""Thank you," I replied as I examined myself in the mirror as Olivia styled my beautiful brown hair."Look," Amy said, pointing to a pair of stunning diamond earrings. "Mr. Knight said you have to wear this to the party."I took the box from her and
I consciously opened my eyes from my slumber while lying in my bed, and I felt a soft quilt about my waist.I'm not sure how I ended up on the bed; I vividly remember passing asleep on my room's floor.Then I wiped my eyes, and the first thing I noticed was Aaron sitting on my bed, watching at me with concerned filled eyes. This was the first time I noticed he was concerned about me, and I sat up on my bed, knowing he was the one who placed Oilment and medicinal bandage on my wound."It doesn't hurt much," I told him, expecting to see a glimpse of hope in his eyes that he cares about me.My heart is rushing so quickly as I feel his deep gaze over me, halt at my lips, then my breasts, then return to my eyes."I know you care about me," I told him with a smile.That sweet expression in his eyes transformed back to a cold and harsh one when he understood what I was saying."No, I don't care about you; I only did this because I'm the only one who can damage you; no one else can." He mumbl
