Liam's POV."Here," I passed the envelope to the detective. "It contains every detail you need to find her, if you need anything else, you can ask for it, I just need you to find her as soon as possible," I had contacted the most competent special agency in New York to aid in the search for Emily. I needed to get my hands on her again and I will never let go. "You have my word Mr Liam, we will get to her before you know it," he stretched forth his hand for a handshake and I accepted it. "You can have this also," I passed a second envelope to him but this time, it contained money. "It's a token of my appreciation for your willingness to do this job, it has nothing to do with your actual payment," I watched as a wide grin broke out on his face."I don't know what to say, thank you so much Mr Liam, this means a lot to me," he cooed happily."You can go now, I'm looking forward to a job well done," I flashed him a small smile. "You have nothing to worry about, I'll get back to you, a
Emily's POV.My heart did a double flip as Adrian walked into the ward. He had a warm smile on his face.I couldn't help but wonder if the smile would still remain intact after I've broken the news of my condition to him.Nonetheless, I had no choice left, Bridget said he hated dishonest people and the last thing I wanted was for him to see me that way. I needed to tell him before he finds out. Pregnancy isn't something that could be hidden for a long time."Pleasant morning, Adrian," I tried to smile through my tensed state."It's always good to see you, Emily," I tried to hide my blush but it was an epic fail. I couldn't stop grinning sheepishly. Adrian is a charming man. He knew the right words to use at the perfect time. It was the first time I was experiencing such level of admiration from a man in my entire existence. "Here, have this," he handed a package to me, he always did that whenever he came visiting. "Thank you," I dropped it on the center table and motioned for him t
Emily's POV.Be careful, don't step on any hard surface," Adrian cooed, his gaze carefully laid on me as he led me towards his car. I had been discharged and he was taking me home just like he had earlier promised. I couldn't help but wonder how someone like him would go out of his way to please someone like me. A hopeless pregnant woman. His kind heart was unmatched. "Adrian, I'm fine, I can clearly see my way," I groaned, rolling my eyes at him. "It's not helping that you see me as a vegetable."He bursted into laughter, shaking his head amusedly. "But veggies are colorful and they add so much spice to foods, being a vegetable isn't so bad you know,"I gasped dramatically, feigning shock. "How dare you!" I growled. Adrian and I have gotten so close over the past few days, and I have loosened up a great deal around him. Despite my firm resolve not to put my trust in anyone since Liam's situation, somehow I could feel myself getting really attached to him and he was gaining my trus
Emily's POV.I stirred gently in my sleep and slowly pulled my eyes open as the early morning sun rays penetrated into the room through the window. It was the first time I was waking up in the morning with so much happiness and peace of the heart. I had almost forgotten what it felt like to be so free and happy.I laid still in the bed for a few more minutes taking in the fresh breath of serenity before standing up and headed into the bathroom. I ran a quick bath and fixed myself together before making my way to the living room."Woah!" A light gasp escaped my lips as I felt a delightful aroma whisk through my nostrils. Someone was in the kitchen and whatever they were preparing scented so incredible. In a bid to satisfy my curiosity, I traced my step towards the kitchen and peeped through the door, my eyes widened in shock as my gaze landed on Adrian with his back against me as he diligently added different recipes into the pot on fire while humming to himself.I couldn't hold bac
Emily's POV. Adrian swiftly turned around to face me with a remorseful look on his face. "Emily, that was totally not supposed to happen, I'm really sorry," "It's... Uhm... It's fine, trust me, no offense taken," I stuttered, struggling to put myself together. That was a really weird incident, I mean, whoever that lady was, she truly was scary. "Don't take her words to heart, those were empty threats," he reached out to grab my hands, stroking them soothingly. I nodded slowly, trying so hard to hide my discomfort under a fake grin. I could tell she meant every word she said. "C'mon, let's eat now," he led me back to the dining. I desperately wanted an explanation for what happened, I wanted to know who she was to him and what could be the cause of their fallout, but he looked like he wasn't ready to talk about it yet. As much as I was desperate for a total disclosure, I also didn't want to say anything that would infuriate him more. No one said a word to anyon
Emily's POV.I looked through the window, tears clouding my eyes as Adrian drove us to the airport. He's had the company sorted and we were finally leaving the country. I couldn't believe I was about to flee the country with a total stranger. But instead of remorse or guilt, there was a pinch of happiness simmering at the tip of my stomach. I was leaving behind the horrible memories that I endured for four years, it was finally time to move on.Adrian was far from being a stranger to me right now. He was a good Samaritan, showing up when I needed help the most, and hasn't given up on me yet. I was glad someone with such a good heart like him existed, if he hadn't shown up when he did, I'd still be in the cold street right now.I was beyond happy he found his way to me just when I needed him the most and I was super excited to be relocating to London with him. It was obvious beyond every doubt that I was in good hands. But despite how happy I was, I couldn't deny that a part of my
Emily's POV. I couldn't help the cold jitters that ran through my entire system as we drove into the large mansion. Peeping through the window, I admired the elegant building and its beautiful environment. I was wowed but not really surprised. I was quite aware that Adrian came from a wealthy home, the above mansion was a testament to it. "Remain seated," he whispered to me, before getting down from the car. I watched in total confusion as he sprinted towards my side of the car, wondering what he was up to. He walked up to the passenger side where I was seated and pulled the door open. "At your service, mademoiselle," he said, stretching forth his hand towards me with a wide smile on his face. I couldn't help the laughter that bubbled through my mouth. "Well, thank you, kind monsieur," I placed my hand on his and he helped me climb down gently. Almost immediately, the front door flung open, and a few middle-aged men and women whom I assumed to be the house workers walked towa
Emily's POV. I was certain who the voice belonged to but to satisfy my curiosity, I turned around slightly and I wasn't wrong in my assumption. It was truly her. Elisha, Adrian's scary ex fiancee.I couldn't help but wonder why she was this persistent in getting him back despite being the one who cheated.I couldn't place my head around a tangible reason that could have pushed her to cheat on a man like Adrian. Liam was extremely horrible to me but never had I thought once of cheating on him. Elisha doesn't in any way deserve Adrian and I'm glad she was caught before she was able to lure him into marriage. This isn't in any way coming from a place of jealousy but care for the man who did everything to help me when I had given up on life. I do not have any romantic feelings for him and never will. I was more focused now on my wellbeing and that of my child. I do not have any plans of developing some sort of romantic feelings for any man. Not with everything Liam did to me."Elis
