When I saw her rushed out I knew something was terribly wrong. Excusing myself, I rushed after her. She was a good distance ahead of me and I wanted to catch her up but when I saw that she had run into the ladies' room and closed the door behind her, I knew that she didn't want me inside with her. Calling her name, I waited for her to answer. I raised my fist to bang on the door when I heard a thud in the bathroom.
“Emily,” I shouted, but there was still no answer. Holding on to the door handle, I prayed that the door was open and no one else was in the bathroom and nothing bad had happened to her. Turning the handle, I was relieved that the door was in fact opened because I knew she was famous for locking doors. Poking my head inside, I saw that she was on the floor and that the bathroom was empty.
Stepping inside, I kn

EmilyIt can't be him, it can't be that crazy person who has been sending me texts,I silently murmured over and over again when I saw Adam running after the figure. Was this guy crazy enough to follow me to Paris? I couldn't help but ask myself that question while putting on my underwear and clothes. Coming back up to me, I saw Adam was staring at me intently before he got redressed then ushered me in the direction of the hotel. Feeing my phone vibrate in my pocket, I took it out and saw that it was a text. Reading it, I wanted to burst into tears.He was threatening me yet again, this crazy fucker that I knew nothing of, nothing about or his motives was threatening me once more.Next time it wo

Adam Pov“Finally, you got dressed,” I said to Emily as soon as she sat down. Pouring herself a glass of orange juice, she took a sip and made herself a plate before she spoke.“I’m so tired Adam. If it wasn’t for the meeting, I would’ve stayed in bed the entire day.” Taking a bite of my strawberry, I replied to her.“You can skip the meeting if you like.” Shaking her head, no, she ate the food that was on her plate before she wiped her mouth with the napkin that was provided. Putting down the newspaper that I was reading on the table, I got up with the contracts that I had printed last night after Emily had fallen asleep. Taking up my briefcase, I placed them inside before we exited the room together. Going inside the elevator we made our way down to the lobby the

Emily PovWaking up early, I went down into the lobby where I ask the concierge to give me directions to the nearest gift shop. Jotting down the address on a piece of paper I got from the receptionist, I went outside and hailed a cab. I could’ve gotten the chauffeur to drive me but I wanted to take the taxi, so I could escape from all the stuffiness for a while. Arriving at my destination, I got outside of the cab and paid the driver along with a tip. Entering the gift shop that was called, Paris Rendez-Vous, I looked around for different stuff to purchase.Getting a keychain of the Eiffel tower, and two mugs, I paid for them before exiting. Walking outside, I felt that familiar feeling where I am being watched by someone. Looking around wildly, I spotted a familiar face but just like that the person turned around and walked away. Trying to figure out where I have met th

Adam“Hey, James any breakthrough as to who might want to hurt Emily?”“No none as yet, still working on it though, she had lived a simple life with no problems otherwise from the bullying, so I’m still unsure what motives this person could have and why exactly are they stalking her.” It was one in the afternoon and both James and I were on the balcony, drinking beers as we mulled over who and why this crazy person wanted to hurt Emily. Based on what James was telling me, there still was no lead. Sighing I felt so frustrated and damn useless. “It’s going to be okay Adam, we will find out who has been doing this to her soon and very soon.”“But it has been a month James.”“I know Adam, just please be patient.”

EmilyIt’s funny how things can change within a second, this moment you’re happy and smiling and the next you’re avoiding people like the plague. I haven’t spoken to Adam intimately after I had caught his maid climbing him and that was two months ago. We see each other at work and the only thing we exchange are greetings and me telling and confirming his schedule. He had tried on numerous occasion to say more, to reach out but I shut him down completely. I am slowly trying to get over it but it seems so hard when you have been hurt before it just seems impossible to forgive and forget. Sighing to myself, I got up out of bed before I went to take a shower, brush my teeth then threw my hair in a ponytail. Getting dressed in a gray dress, and black flats, I grab my phone and bag before going into the kitchen.Getting the orange juice from the refrigerator, I gra

AdamGetting dressed, I quickly looked over at Emily and saw that she was still sound asleep. Putting on my clothes, I grabbed my phone off the bed and saw that it was five in the morning. Going to sit at the edge of the bed, I gently move her hair before kissing her on the forehead. Getting up, I grabbed my shoes before quietly opening the door and closing it behind me. Exiting her apartment building, I got inside my car and drove home. When I had arrived, I saw that no one was up and the hall was dark. Feeling my way around the room, I got a hold of the railing before climbing the stairs to my bedroom. Laying down in bed, I closed my eyes and before you know it, I was waking up to the sun shining on my face.Groaning out loud, I sat up before running a hand over my face. I felt completely drained.

Emily“It’s so nice to see you, Emily,” his voice floated over to me. Cringing, I turned to him and smiled before I began to walk away. Just coming out of my apartment, I was greeted by Tim who dressed in his dark jeans and his polo shirt. I continued walking but was halted by his voice.“I’m sorry Emily, I am sorry for how things went down between us. I really do.” Turning towards him, I could see the sincerity in his eyes and I could also hear it in his voice. “Is there any chance you could forgive me?”“Why the sudden change?” I asked confused. This was totally unlike him, unlike his nature for the three years I have been working at the bookstore, I have never seen or heard of Tim being sincere about anything.“Well,&r

Adam“Emily, wake up please,” I cried out as I rocked her back and forth. Coming to a few moments later, she sat up groggily.“Where am I?” she asked, her voice coming out shakily.“You’re in my home in my bed, I found you passed out on the street with a gash on your forehead.” Putting her hand on her forehead, she winced and withdrew her hand and stared at it. She was still bleeding and I had asked Sophia to call the doctor and to also bring the first aid kit so I could dress her wound.“What happened? Did you fall?”“No, I was walking down the street, when I turned to reach in my bag, I realized I didn’t have it on my shoulders and the minute I turned around back I was

EmilyRunning through the hospital doors, I stopped right at the desk and began shouting that they take me to my mother’s room. A nurse who was at the desk told me her room number and I ran into the elevator and began pressing the buttons impatiently. Bringing me up to the Emergency ward, I stepped off the elevator and ran right up to Melissa who was pacing the floor.“What happened?” I practically shouted at her.“She accidentally heard that you were kidnapped and she began sobbing. The next thing I know she was shaking vigorously and was foaming at the mouth.” Sinking at the floor, I began sobbing while wondering why bad things have to happen to good people. What did we do wrong? Where did we go wrong for things like this to plague us.” I didn’t know how long I was there, but I tuned out everyt

Adam“Adam, I found out who has been stalking Emily,” James shouted as he came barrelling through the front door. Stopping short when he saw the detective in the living room.“Calm down James, sit down and let me know what happened.” Well, Fields and I went to the Bahamas, as there was where our search led us. We went to a house that was a bit secluded. When we went and knock an old elderly couple answered the door. We were a bit confused as that’s where we traced where some of the text has been sent from otherwise from in New York and Paris. We sat down with the couple and we asked them random questions like if they had any children and where they were. They told us they had a son and his name was Tim and that he now resides in New York.”“As soon as they said that name, I automatica
Loving The CEO Chapter Thirty-Six: Finally, Answers
EmilyI know it was wrong, but I couldn’t help myself. For the past month, I have been communicating with my stalker. He always messages me on an unknown number so I couldn’t trace it. Every day he would send me a message telling me how much he loves and adores me, and he cannot wait for the day we finally meet so I can see who he is and accept him. I would always reply with ‘I can’t wait to meet you’ or ‘I know you love me.’ I was playing a very dangerous game and I know if Adam knew what I was up to he would be upset.It had been two weeks since I have been back at work. I was still staying at Adam’s but I have been to visit my mom and Melissa a couple of times. My mom was getting worse by the minute, and it broke me every time to see her like that. To see her being weak and not being able to do anything. She keeps assuring me that s

Adam“Adam, I just got word from Fields that there is a possible lead. I will have to fly out to Washington tonight so I could meet with him.” Finally, after a month of hearing nothing, there is a chance that this lead will actually be the answer that we have been looking for.“Okay, just keep me updated and let me know what happens and James has a safe trip.” Ending the call, I place the phone on the table as I sat back and closed my eyes. For the past month, James and I had been working like madmen to try and find out new clues, whilst keeping an eye on Emily, who seems out of it at times. I find her spending time in my mother’s library reading mystery books and I can’t help but feel she is up to something. I have asked the staff to watch her discreetly because I have a gut feeling that something bad is going to happen and soon.

EmilyBeing bored was an understatement as to how I was feeling at the moment. Used to being occupied whether at work or at home, I felt useless just lying in bed all day. The staff doesn’t allow me to do anything, if I tried to wash the glass that I had just used, I would be told by one of the maids that it wasn’t my job and that Mr. Jacob will be very upset if they allow me to wash it.Sighing, I pulled the covers from over my head as I picked up my phone and stared at the latest message that I had gotten from whoever had been stalking me. I never meant to hurt you, but you had left me no choice. Why is it that you can go on dates with a stranger but you won’t give me the time of day when I am the one who clearly loves you?
