Emily's POV.

It wasn't up to a few hours since I returned from Liam's place before Adrian showed up.

If I had stayed a little bit longer, It would have been an entirely different story.

This is the more reason why I needed to stay away from Liam until everything is under control.

Adrian assisted with a few of the office activities, I had replaced his position here as the general manager upon my return to New York and that meant taking over his responsibilities, he can only assist if he wanted to and he really does.

Throughout the time we spent together, I battled with myself to finally talk to him, but somehow, something always came up to distract the moment.

Well, I guess I will tell him tonight.

"Hey, it's time to go pick the kids, I will do that," he said.

"I'm coming with you, I've rounded up everything for today anyway," I quickly blurted, standing to my feet, and started arranging my desk.

I intended to spend the whole day with him just in case things doesn't go well after

    Emily's POV."What do you mean? I haven't sent anyone to get my kids today," I arched my brows at me. "How is that possible? I thought I saw..." He suddenly trailed of, keeping mute for a second before shrugging. "I guess it might not be today, please pardon my dull brain, old age comes with it's package," he chuckled. "Oh, Mr Jerkins." I exhaled a deep breath. "You got me really scared for a second," "I'm sorry about that Miss Emily," he smiled. "I have to get back to work, have a great day with my little cuties." He waved at me and rolled the trash trolley away. Adrian and I turned to glance at each other and chuckled. "Isn't he a little too young to forget things that easily?" Adrian whispered to me."Let's go get the kids Adrian," I tightened my grip on him and headed towards the classroom. Per usual, the class roared with noise as the kids jumped excitedly all over the place, surprisingly, there was no sight of Ryan or Nadia. Usually, when I walked into the classroom and l

    Emily's POV.The located which was written at the sheet seemed really odd.Adrian squeezed it roughly and threw it across the room."Someone is messing with me," he gritted."Emily, I have to go get to the root of this, I will be back." He turned around to leave."I'm coming with you!" I growled. He turned to face me. "You can't Emily, this might be dangerous." "I'm coming with you Adrian, and that is final." I gritted. There was no way I would sit back while my innocent kids went through such a horrible ordeal. I was determined to fight for them with my last drop of blood.Seeing that I wasn't willing to back down, Adrian exhaled deeply and ruffled his hair frustratedly. "Fine, hurry. I quickly rushed after him and we stormed towards the parking lot."I'll drive you sir," Hardin rushed towards us. "No Hardin, stay back and look after things here, we will be back shortly," Adrian replied.Surprisingly, he shook his head. "I'm sorry but I can't let you both go alone, I'm coming wit

    Emily's POV."What... What do you want?" I stuttered."Now that is what I'm talking about," he stepped closer to me but Adrian swiftly stepped forward, blocking me away from him.It broke my heart knowing that Adrian was willing to put his life in line for me and my kids but all he gets is betrayal."I don't want to be violent, so I'm just going to go ahead and let you know what I want from you," "We are all ears," Adrian snapped at him."It's not a big deal, I want you in place of your kids," I froze on the spot as his words hit me hard across the ear. I trembled uncontrollably, beads of sweat trickling down my forehead under the cool breeze wheezing around the woods."What did you just say?" Adrian stepped closer towards him. He was boiling in rage right now. And it hurts knowing that everything will turn on him soon."My boss is literally protecting you against this woman, why are you making it difficult huh? And the fact that she doesn't deserve it makes it more annoying!" The st

    Emily's POV.I saw the pain reflect in his eyes, I could barely recognize him, his eyes reflected betrayal, anger, and confusion. No, this can't be happening. Adrian is the strongest pillar in my life right now, if he pushes me, then my world will crumble. Where do I start to explain to him why I hid my past with Liam from him? He was already furious and with the look in his eyes. I could tell nothing I would say would have any effect on him."Mr Liam is your ex-husband?" Adrian mumbled, his voice was barely audible. I could tell that the discovery was taking a toll on him."I'm surprised you have lived with her for several years and yet don't know this piece of information; the strange man blurted. "The lady standing beside you was married to Liam for four years before they got divorced, and oh do you know that the kids you keep referring to as yours are actually his?" If I had supernatural powers, I would have plucked this horrible man's heart from his chest in a second. He was ef

    Emily's POV.Without uttering another word to him, I turned around and ran off. I ran all the way to where the car was parked and surprisingly, it was still there."Hardin? You are still here?" I asked. "Yeah, sir Adrian instructed me to stay back and pick you when you are done, he took a cab and left already," he replied. I felt a drop of tear roll down my cheeks. Despite how upset he was, he still has my best interest at heart. Why does someone like him have to go through all this?First it was Elisha, I can't believe I hated her for causing him so much pain, now I have done exactly the same to him, if not more. Slowly, I pulled the car door open and climbed in. Hardin seemed to have caught a whiff of what happened, the look on his face was evident. He looked sad, and never spared me a glance all through the drive home. Once we have driven into the house, I practically jumped down from the car and started running inside, hoping that Adrian will be in, I needed to plead for hi

    Emily's POV.I quickly rushed after him, blocking the way just before he could pull the door open. "Adrian please." I tried to get hold of his hands but he swiftly moved back avoiding my hand from touching him."What else do you want from me Emily? Haven't you done enough already?" He groaned, I could sense the frustration in his voice."I'm sorry Adrian, please hear me out," I cried. He scoffed dryly. His gaze on me held nothing but disgust and raging anger. "You really do have a lot of guts Emily," he spat, his gaze piercing into mine. "You look me in the eyes and hurt me so deep without any pinch of guilt.""Adrian....""And don't even give me the shit about not knowing how to tell me what was going on because I gave you every chance to talk to me freely, I made myself the safest person you could talk to just so you wouldn't have to find it difficult talking to me about anything, but what did you do? You took advantage of that and rubbed it on my face."I stared at him with tear

What exactly have I done to deserve this? Have I not been loving enough? Is there something that I am not doing right? It hurts because I truly loved Emily more than I have ever loved another woman.

It hurts more because despite how hard I was trying to shut her out, somehow, I just couldn't and it was infuriating the hell out of me.I should hate her, I should throw her out and cast her away from my life for hurting me so bad, but somehow, all I could think of was her wellbeing, I couldn't

And you are practically still sleeping, what where you doing all night?"

Ever since Ryan and I got back in good terms, there has been no second that smile has left my face."No, you are not, we are all seeing it, you are unusually happy and bubbly today, what's happening in your life that you are not sharing with us?" Josh retorted and I busted into laughter."Trust me guys, there's nothing happening okay? If there is, you would be the first to know," I lied.Oh that is such a lie, a lot is happening and I love it!"Or have you suddenly developed feelings for Jeremy? Oh my God, tell me it is true," Christie squealed."God, Christie relax please, speaking of Jeremy, where is he even?"

    Aria's POV.I slowly opened my eyes to the soft morning sun that found its way into my room through the window. I had a huge smile on my face but it suddenly disappeared as I realized that I was the only one on the bed, Ryan wasn't beside me anymore.Spranging up with heavy force and anger, a piece of paper fell off from under the pillow beside me and I quickly picked it up.A wide smile broke out on my face as I read through the content."Hey beauty, how was your night? Hope you enjoyed your sleep? For me it's the best I've ever had, sorry I had to leave before you woke up, Eleanor is an early bird, if I didn't get back to her earlier before she woke up, she would notice I didn't sleep in the room, I trust you to handle Jeremy about the party too, get ready for school quickly and come down, I can't wait to see the pretty face of my lover, and FYI, don't put on your panties."

"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
