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
Emily's POV."MOM!" Ryan and Nadia screamed rushing towards me immediately I walked into their classroom. I had feared that I was late and they will be left stranded when the other kids have all left but they seemed rather happy. "Hi babies, I'm sorry for being late, I was caught up with work, I'm sorry okay? Next time, I'll send a driver over if I can't make it early," I pouted apologetically."It's fine Mom, we had company," Ryan replied and my brows furrowed in thought. "Company?" I repeated, wondering who could have sacrificed their time to stay with them till I arrived. "Oh, Mrs Gibson?" I asked.Mrs Gibson is their favorite teacher, she's quite friendly with the kids."No, Aria's Dad,"I felt my heart race rapidly as their words hit me hard across the ear. Liam?"Oh, you are here?" I froze as I heard his voice from behind. Breathing in deeply, I turned around slowly to face him. There he was, looking as charming as always in his fitted suit, Aria's tiny hands clutching ont
Emily's POV.I tried to hold back my smile as we pulled up at the park.It was surprisingly more than I had expected. As much as there was a huge crowd, there was a much variety of activities to keep up with everyone. I guess this wasn't such a bad idea. "Is that a smile on your face Mom?" Ryan suddenly poked me. "Fine, it's a beautiful place, you little monsters won!" I rolled my eyes at them and they bursted into laughter, hitting their fists together victoriously. "But it doesn't mean you should prioritize wanting what others have, you hear me?""Yes Mommy!" They chorused. I nodded at them with a smile as we continued to walk around the park, taking pleasure in watching people engage in different fun activities while also searching for what will catch the kids fancy."Hey! Mom, I want that!" Nadia suddenly screamed, pointing at the toy claw machine. "Me too," Ryan pouted.My gaze shifted from the claw machine to them and back to the machine wondering how I was going to pull
