Emily's POV.My gaze on him intensified as the words left his mouth.I was taken aback by his invitation, my thoughts racing. It was inappropriate and unprofessional to leave the conference room without finalizing the business. But on the other hand, he seemed harmless, and judging off the fact that he was coming from the connners of Mrs Marilyn, what could possibly go wrong?"That doesn't entirely sound bad," I said, my voice hesitant. "But I'm not sure if that's appropriate, given that we're still in the middle of a business meeting."Tyson waved his hands in the air, indicating that it wasn't a problem."We are only going to continue the discussion, Miss Emily, you have nothing to worry about," his voice was quite persuasive. "Besides, it's important for colleagues to get to know each other outside of the boardroom, don't you think?"I hesitated for a moment, but then nodded afterwards "I guess you aren't wrong," A warm smile spread out on his face "Great," he said, standing up.
Tyson looked up at him, a look of confusion on his face. "Is there a problem?" he asked, his voice friendly but questioning.Adrian stepped forward, his eyes narrowed. "Yes, there's a problem," he said. "You can't just take my employee out for lunch without my permission. What kind of game are you playing here?"I quickly stepped between them, my hands raised in a calming gesture.I was taken aback by Adrian's anger. "Adrian, I'm sorry if this seems inappropriate," I began, trying so hard to sound convincing. "But I assure you, it's purely business, Mr Tyson has expressed interest in my marketing campaign, and thought it would be a good opportunity to discuss it in a more informal setting."Adrian looked skeptical, his eyes darting between me and Tyson. "And what's your interest in this, Mr Tyson?" he asked, his tone still suspicious.Tyson's expression was calm, his eyes narrowed slightly. "My interest is solely in Emily's work, and nothing else," he said, his voice level and clear.
Emily's POV. "It hurts to see you go without me," I pouted as I walked with him out of the house, as we approached his car.I had stopped going to the office few months ago as my delivery date was due and truly, it hurts to see him go to work every day without me. I was already bored staying home and doing nothing. The few months I have worked for his company has marked nothing but remarkable achievements.I've bagged so many contracts that no one else except Adrian could.According to them, I had a way of presenting my proposals that couldn't be refused even if they wanted to.In my few months in office, my name has spread through the business world like wild fire, it felt like a fairytale and everyone wanted to have a share of me.Mrs Marilyn's contract still remained the biggest that the company has witnessed in history, and Adrian couldn't be more grateful to me. I was glad that I was able make out something meaningful out of my stay in London, and also sort of pay Adrian back
Emily's POV. "Please hold on, we will soon be there," Helen tried to console me as we drove to the clinic.Eric drove into the clinic building with a loud screeching noise.He pulled the door to my side of the car open and yet again, scooped me into his arms, hurrying into the building. As soon as we were closer, the midwives who had sighted us from afar quickly ran towards us, and helped us in."Hold still please, this is going to be a lot easier if you hold on strong," the chief midwife said, helping me to lay on the bed.The rest of the midwives gathered around us with different equipment which I assumed was for childbirth.Helen was allowed in as well. My heart skipped as the midwife began to stretch my thighs wide apart.This is really happening. I'm about to become a mother."Emily listen, you have to be strong for this, don't be scared, okay?" I nodded slowly. "You are tensed, you don't have to be, relax your body so it would be easier for us," she continued. "Helen, I'm
Emily's POV.I couldn't hold back the huge grin dancing all over my face as I carefully lifted my little baby, while Adrian lifted the other.Not that there was an occasion or anything but over the past week, I have been so overwhelmed with the pleasure of birthing two beautiful babies, that I can't go an hour without lifting them in my arms.Adrian seemed to feel exactly the same way, if not more excited than I was. He hasn't left the house since my delivery, and despite how important most of his business meetings were, he had them all canceled. I tried to talk him into resuming work since I was strong enough to care for them, and Helen was present too with the rest of the house workers but Adrian's mind was already made up. I watched in admiration as he swaddled the baby in his arms, placing a soft kiss on her forehead, while humming a soothing lullaby as he began to rock her in his chest. I followed his movement as I wrapped my little boy in my arms, rocking him gently. Someh
Liam's POV.Few months had rolled by quickly and I found myself wishing that each day that passes would turn out to be Nichole's delivery date.I desperately needed her out of my house as soon as possible, seeing her reminded me so much about the biggest mistake of my lifetime. One that seemed impossible to correct now. Emily.I doubt if I will ever set my eyes on her again, not speaking of correcting the mistakes I have made with her. It sounded so terribly heartbreaking when anyone referred to her as my ex-wife. It felt surreal, but then whenever I remembered how quickly and cruelly I had served her those divorce papers, it reminded me how real it was and how perfectly I deserved the pangs of pain I felt each time thoughts of her flashed through my head.But then, I haven't given up on her search yet.Once in a while, I contacted every private search agency that I got a whiff of to secretly search through the country and the neighboring countries as well, and even though they al
Liam's POV."She's in labor," I screamed at the midwives immediately I carried her into the hospital.I quickly dropped her to her feet and the midwives gathered around her, leading her towards an empty ward.Seeing that I no longer had a business there, I turned around to leave."Liam," I halted on my spot as I heard her call out to me."Huh?""Don't go," she muttered.Without saying a word to her, I turned to face the head midwife. "Take care of her." And with that, I turned around and stormed out. I walked back to my car, I was about to climb in when another car drove roughly towards me and came to a halt right beside me. I quickly recognized the car to be my mom's. I had called her while driving Nichole to the hospital. Her help will be greatly needed as I knew nothing about this. "Liam," she called as soon as she climbed down from the car, rushing towards me. "Mom,""Where is she?""She's been taken into the ward for delivery," I replied. "Alright, let's go," she turned aro
Liam's POV.A month flew by, with Nichole still at my house, with the baby.As much as I tried to be accommodating towards her and the baby, my emotions failed me. I was literally living my worst life and I couldn't take it anymore. "Nichole, do you have a minute?" I asked walking into her room."Yes, please sit," "I'd rather stand," I replied.I watched as her face crumpled into a frown."I have gotten a place for you, well furnished, it's a conducive environment to raise our child," I began."What? We are living just fine here," she chirped in."Nichole, we are not married, you can't live here,""But I thought..." "That I will decide to marry you once you bear a child for me? Is that what you thought?" I cut her off quickly."Liam...""I'm not getting married to you Nichole, I will take full responsibility for my child and I'll try to visit as frequently as I can,""Please don't do this Liam," tears rolled down her cheeks. "I will have the house keepers get your things ready to
Aria's POV.I watched as he gulped down imaginary air down his throat, his widened eyes scanning every single area of my body. "How do I look?" I asked smiling down sweetly at him. "Uhmm... you look..ugh...you look perfect, absolutely stunning, seriously," he stuttered, his lips quivering."Awwn, thank you," I squealed happily, jumping around in excitement.It was all an act to execute my plan B which will be set in 3.2.1...I suddenly faked missing my step and fell on top of him on the bed.Our faces inches apart and our eyes staring deep into each others.I could tell that his self control was failing him, as his hands slowly crept up to my butt cheeks and grabbed them roughly.Our faces tugged closer till our lips came in contact, that was it, we lost all sense of morality as our lips battled against each other, suckling and nibbling passionately.Ryan suddenly pulled away, gently pushing me away and stood up from the bed."I should go back to my room now, I'm sorry but I won't b
Aria's POV. I laid on my bed with my heart beating against my chest. I was confident while talking to Ryan, few minutes earlier because I didn't want him to spot my fear, if my plan will pull through then I needed to seal every trace of fear and nervousness in me.Twenty minutes had rolled by and no sign of Ryan, my eyelids were becoming heavy not because I was feeling sleepy, but because tears had no more room in my eyes as it slowly started rolling down my cheeks.He made his choice already, he chose Eleanor over me, despite the efforts I poured out in struggling to win him back, it all went down the drain, at the end of the day, I lost him, now I have no choice but to move on also, I have Jeremy anyway, this is my clue to finally give up.Suddenly, my door slowly cracked open and Ryan walked in."Ryan, you came!" I exclaimed, cleaning off my tears."Hey, what's wrong?" He asked noticing my tears."Nothing serious, these are tears of joy, I was just reminiscing a good memory," I li
Aria's POV. "I'm really happy for you Aria, you and Ryan finally get to stay away from each other, I'm so glad," Christie continued going on and on about it as we sat in the cafeteria."I know right? each of them now has their seperate partners, case settled, now I can finally stop getting worried about my best friend involving in such an act," Josh added.If only you know Josh."Arya make sure you are with Jeremy at all times, I know you said it didn't work the last time but now that Ryan has someone too, you both should occupy yourselve's with your respective partners and viola, everything will be okay and everyone will be happy," Christie adviced."Easier said than done," I mumbled under my breath."Aria, did you just said that? Wait, are you and Ryan still having something going on?" Christie blurted out.Geez! Did i say that out loud? "My goodness, Christie how could you even say a thing like that? Have you forgotten that Ryan and I aren't in good talking terms since I rejected
Aria's POV."Welcome J," I coed happily, hugging him tightly, and opened the door wide for him to step in."Babe, I'm nervous, what if your dad doesn't like me? What if I don't end up impressing him tonight? you know they already have have a bad impression of me from the last time," Jeremy suddenly blurted as we approached the dinning."Stop getting ideas Jeremy, no one is holding what happened against you anymore, they all now understand that it was a mistake okay? So don't panic? Just do you alright? Who wouldn't like you anyway? Have you met yourself, young man?" I sang the last part in a hoarse manly voice and we both bursted into laughter. "Thank you so much Aria, I really needed that," he smiled."Sure thing," I replied placing a quick kiss on his lips and then held his hand."C'mon, lets go," I dragged him towards the dinning.***We all sat around the dinning table munching our food in silence after exchanging pleasantries.Dad suddenly cleared his throat and looked up."Youn
Ryan's POV.Shit! Shit!! Shit!!!" I screamed repeatedly hitting the steering as we drove around the street, it wasn't Eleanor's closing time, I just needed to be out of the house that minute else I would compeletly loose it."How could she want to wear something like that for that jerk?" "Does she even know how she looked?""Like a freaking pornstar, a fucking pornstar!!! Damn it," I continued speaking to myself as I drove around.My mind couldn't erase the memory of her image, from her pretty innocent face, to her flawless thick smooth thighs, her juicy boobs and erect nipples faultlessly visible to my ogling eyes through the see through singlet, and her firm mouth watering ass perfectly encased in the tight skirt she wore. "She is mine, her body, her heart, all of her is fucking mine!!! I yelled, continuously hitting the steering."Are you okay man? A man in the car next to me shouted out to me."Fuck off!! I yelled back at him.Fuck moving on! I haven't moved on a single bit, why
Aria's POV.I woke up with a bright smile on my face reminiscing about the event of the previous night, I finally admitted my feelings for Ryan and also confessed it to him, though I got a rejection from him, but then again, I got a hug and God knows, its been like ages since we last hugged, Eleanor has been taking all the glory but its time to take back what is rightfully mine no matter what it takes.My plans were to kick off immediately and I was more than ready to swing into action.I grabbed my phone to check what time it is, 11 am."Gosh, how did I sleep this long?!It was a Saturday anyway, so I didn't have anything to worry about. Jumping off the bed, I ran all the way to the bathroom, did my usual morning routine and bounced out."Aria! Ryan, come out here now!!" I heard Dad's voice calling out to us and I quickly rushed out. "Morning mom, morning dad," Ryan and I chorused as we both stood in front of them."Morning babies, trust you slept well?" Mom asked and we both nodde
Aria's POV.I found my way to the kitchen only to meet Ryan already seated quietly on one of the kitchen chairs with a glass of milk in his hand.It's their time of the night, why isn't he with her?He suddenly looked up on hearing my footsteps."Aria, what are you doing still up by this time?" He asked."Just came to grab a glass of milk, I can't seem to get a good sleep," I shrugged."You are having one already, can't sleep too?" I asked walking towards the freezer and grabbed a cold jar of yoghurt and a glass."Nah, I just needed to cool off a bit before going back to bed," he replied and I muttered an 'oh'I had hoped he would say yes, then maybe I would have believed he couldn't sleep because he was thinking of me but he had utterly proved me wrong.We both sat there, sipping our yoghurt in silence."Uhm, I should go back to sleep now, goodnight," he suddenly blurted and stood up turning around to leave."Hey Ryan, can I talk to you for a minute?" I quickly stood up as well.He t
Aria's POV."Everyone come out! I have something to say to all of you!!! I screamed walking from each person's room to another knocking on their doors.Ryan was the first to come out of his room and of course in the company of Eleanor.She practically live with us now."Aria, whats going on? Why are you calling everyone out? Can't you see it's late?" He snapped."I'm sorry guys, I just can't keep it to myself anymore, it's really important that I talk to all of you," I replied."Well then, make it as fast and as simple as possible because some of us were in the middle of something," he said, winking seductively at eleanor."Ryan stop," she whispered staring down timidly. I rolled my eyes and looked away, deciding not to give them the reaction they needed from me. Instead, I wanted to get their attention this time. Almost immediately, our parent's room door creaked open and they walked out."Arya what's the matter?" Dad asked."Uhm, I want to talk to you guys about something really v
Aria’s POV. “Oh, Arya, you are pathetic," I cursed at myself as I stood in front of Ryan’s doorstep in the middle of the night eavesdropping to his love making session with Eleanor.One of the hidden talents I had discovered about myself ever since Ryan and Eleanor started dating, snooping around in the middle of the night when I was sure our parents were asleep only to lean on Ryan’s doorstep cursing and swearing in rage as they made love.Ryan wasn't particularly taking it easy on me, he brought Eleanor home every night and our parents weren't saying anything about it."If you aren't standing here right now, how would you know they are having sex?" My mind screamed at me."Yeah, right," I mumbled, dragging my heavy feet back to my room.*Next morning*I ran out of my room in a rush and almost fell to the floor as I collided with Eleanor."Hey, watch it!!!!" I yelled angrily, my eyes burning with rage."I'm sorry Aria, I didn't see you coming," Eleanor apologized."Eleanor, it's
