Emily's POV. "Miss Emily, someone is here to see you," Kimberly blurted immediately I walked into the office. "This early?" I arched my brows at her and she shrugged in response. "I advised him to return later but he insisted on waiting for you," "Where is he?" "In your office ma'am, he wouldn't wait anywhere else," she replied. Why do I have an idea of who it might be?"It's fine, you can go back to your desk now, I will attend to him," "Alright ma'am," she smiled and headed back to her desk.Exhaling a deep breath, I pushed the door open and walked in.Of course, it was him who I had assumed. Liam.He had his eyes buried on his cellphone, though carefully looking at him, I could tell his attention was far from whatever he was staring at on his phone. He seemed rather deep in thought. I mean he didn't even notice someone walking into the office. I cleared my throat noisily and that seemed to snap him out of whatever world he had zoned off to. "Miss Emily," He quickly stood
Emily's POV."Yahhhh!"I watched in amusement as Ryan and Nadia jumped in excitement while I prepared them for the party. Mrs Johnson had specially come to the office to deliver the invitation herself. I badly wanted to reject the invitation, not just because of Liam but for myself as well, at this point, it was like I had no control over myself anymore, I can't trust myself close to Liam and the only solution was to stay as far from him as possible, despite how hard it was for me. But then again, the more I tried to stay away, the more closer to him I yearn to be and it was frustrating the hell out of me. If confusion was a person, then I'm certain, that would be me. "Mom, are you not in good terms with Aria's Mom?" Nadia suddenly blurted as I braided her hair. I suddenly paused, fixing my gaze on her. "Why do you ask?"She shrugged lightly. "It's just that she used to be so nice to us before she found out you are our mother, now she barely even responds to our greetings," I c
Emily's POV. I walked deeper into the hall, looking around to take in the environment.It was really a huge crowd.Well, I didn't expect less from such influential people as the Johnsons. The guests at the party were the most influential personalities of New York, the CEOs of big businesses and all... they all had powerful auras surrounding them. The workers from their company were already present. I had not set my eyes on Liam but I could feel his powerful presence even without seeing him."May I have a dance?" A handsome man suddenly approached me, his hands stretched out towards me. He was dressed in a well fitted suit. From all indications, he seemed to be one of the young CEOs of the big companies in New York, a dance with him won't hurt right? Especially when I'll be bagging a business deal with him at the end of it. I flashed him a warm smile, placing my hand on his and he led us to the dance floor. "Honestly, I must say, you look totally stunning tonight," he suddenly blu
Emily's POV. We entered Liam's room, I couldn't help but glance around the familiar surroundings, the images of my last time here came crashing through my mind, it felt just like yesterday, the day he had served me those divorce papers and I had it signed and left in tears. If only that was the only memory rushing through my head at this moment, it would have helped enhance my hatred towards Liam and I could find my way out of here real fast, but surprisingly, it was replaced with the memories of the night Liam came home drunk and made love to me, it was the most passionate night of my life, he touched all the right places. I brushed the memories away and focused on the best possible way to get myself out of here before I really lose control. He walked towards the mini bar cabinet in the room and grabbed a bottle of wine with a pair of glasses and set it on the center table motioning me to come closer. I went to sit on the couch and watched as he poured out the drink into the gla
Emily's POV.I pressed my lips on his, my tongue swiftly slid into his mouth as I moaned uncontrollably.His hand slowly crept to my waist, holding me tight and deepened the kiss.The silent room was filled with our kissing sound.He slowly broke the kiss and traced tender kisses all over my neck then back up to my lips, our lips met again and I opened up my mouth to him.He passionately grunted uncontrollably into my mouth, letting his tongue slide into my mouth exploring and entwining with mine as the kiss deepened gently and tenderly.Slowly, he pulled away, crouching down to scoop me into his arms and headed towards the bed. He laid carefully on the bed and came to lay ontop of me, reclaiming my lips in an intense kiss.All the while, I couldn't bring myself to resist any of his moves, instead, I yearned for more. I was lost in my world of ecstasy that I didn't realize him reaching for my panty and started pulling it down, slowly, he pulled it off my legs. He traced his hand ge
Emily's POV.I stirred slightly and let out a weary yawn as my eyes flew open weakly. The environment that I found myself in seemed to be quite strange, it looked nothing like my different from my room, and surprisingly, instead of a soft pillow, my head seemed to lay on a rather hard surface. I tried to sit up, but it seemed like I was been caged to whatever I was laying on. As soothing as it was, I needed to know where I was. Gradually, I struggled out of whatever grip on me. A loud screamed almost bubbles out of my mouth as my gaze suddenly landed on Liam's face, he was shirtless, his eyes squeezed shut as he slept soundly. "What the hell!" I couldn't hold it back anymore, as a loud growl escaped my mouth. That seemed to shake him up from his deep slumber, his eyes weakly fluttered open and landed on me and surprisingly, a wide smile broke out on his face. And whatever is funny? "Liam where the hell is this?" His eyes narrowed at me, followed by an amused chuckle. "This is
Emily's POV..I ran all the way downstairs, thankfully, I didn't run into any of the Johnsons, just a few of the house workers busy cleaning after the mess made from last night's party.I exhaled a deep breath as I successfully got to the parking lot, but my luck ran out as a black car pulled up beside me, the door creaked open and Nichole stepped down.Oh no!I really do not need this right now. "Well, if it isn't the most shameless woman to walk the earth." She taunted, her eyes filled with disgust and hatred and she walked up to me. "Came with her children and left them for a man, truly shameless," she snorted.If not for the few housekeepers around, someone's head would be rolling on the floor right now, and that person wouldn't have been me."I don't have time for this," I tried to move past her but she was swift to block me away from the door to my car. "Nichole, what is this?" I was beginning to fume in anger. "You disappeared with my husband last night and no one saw you b
Emily's POV."Good morning Miss Emily," Kimberly's voice snapped me out of my chain of thought as I walked towards my office. Sometimes I wonder how she always knew that I was passing towards my office, her office is located quite far from the hallway. "Kimberly, how are you doing?" "I'm fine, thank you ma'am," she smiled. "Is everything okay though? Your eyes are swollen and red," her next words hit me hard across the ear sending stabs of realization down my spine.How could I be so careless to forget the sunglass that I had intended to put on while coming in for work. After what happened with Liam the previous day, I couldn't sleep a wink through the night, no matter how hard I tried to console myself, the tears never stopped rolling. I only got a whiff of sleep during the early hours of the morning and had woken up afterwards with swollen eyes. "Oh, it's nothing serious my dear," I faked a grin. "The kids are becoming more of a handful by the day, I had to stay awake all nigh
Aria's POV."You know you don't have to take me in right?" I said as Jeremy escorted me to my house."I insist, I took you away for very long so I should be the very responsible son in-law and not only take you in but hand you over to the full family in one piece," he insisted."I hear you Mr responsible, you should also carry me into my room and sing me lullaby till I fall asleep," I teased."Would be an absolute pleasure if your dad approves of it," he retorted."He would, I think he trusts you, but Ryan will brutally devour you, he's still getting used to you being my boyfriend again,""Well atleast I'm glad he doesn't glare daggers at me anymore, it's a good progress," he said and I chuckled.We walked into the house to see everywhere quiet."Why is everywhere so quiet?" I muttered."Maybe they have all gone to bed," Jeremy replied."What? No, it's barely even seven, and they wouldn't go to bed without making sure I'm home safe, where the hell is my family!" I was beginning to pan
Aria's POV."Ryan, it's been a week, where the hell is Eleanor?" Mom asked as she packed my lunchbox while we stood waiting."She's okay mom," Ryan replied."I haven't seen her in this house for the past few days, and when I called her yesterday she sounded a little off, are you guys fighting?" She asked."What? No, we aren't," Ryan grumbled"Are you sure? Because she...""Jesus, Mom please, enough with the questions okay? Eleanor and I are cool," Ryan cut in angrily. "You know what? Aria meet me outside when you are done," he spat and walked out of the kitchen."Aria, do you have any clue if something is going on between them?" Mom turned towards me. You don't wanna know Mom."You heard from the horses mouth already mom, the boyfriend said they are cool, just let it go please," I shrugged."I'm just scared, we all know how Ryan is, he can decide he's done with her and toss her away just like the others, I don't want him to be in that position with Eleanor, she's too innocent to take
Aria's POV."Girl, you are glowing," Christie cooed as we walked out of the first class for the morning. "I don't know what you are talking about, I'm just the usual me," I shrugged.Ofcourse I knew she was right but decided to act oblivious to it. 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?" I asked."I guess you are the only who doesn't know about the match coming up between our school's basket ball team and Elite hig
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." I blushed hard as I read the last part."What do I do with you naughty Ryan?" I muttered to myself."Just lov
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
