“You won't stop me from speaking my mind, Logan!” She retorted, scrunching her face.“That's enough! That's enough! This should be discussed later. Let's not invite chaos in this peaceful ambience.” My dad said as he sat upright on his chair.Grabbing the goblet in front of him, he downed its contents and dropped it back on the table.He flicked his gaze between me and Vivian and then, he settled it on me.“Last time I came to your company…” He began, his deep voice piercing the silence.“I saw a lady in white coat and purple dress. She - she looks just like Emily. I'm sure it's Emily,” My dad said and Vivian's eyes bulged, glinting with surprise.She gave me a sharp suspicious look, her brows knitted with her jaw clenched.“Emily in your company? Logan?” She asked.I ignored her as I fixed my gaze on my father.“We discussed the company and investors before you left, dad. She's - she's one of our investors now.. not one of the first since we've had several investors before, but she

Emily's POVAt work~I called for a meeting with the board members that afternoon.. I lectured them and discussed marketing our new collection. We had an interactive session where everyone spoke and gave suggestions on what we could do to circulate the sales of our products across different parts of the city.When the session had ended, I gazed at Jade and instructed her to update us about her experience at an event she went While she spoke, I listened intently with the rest but then, my thoughts drifted to Logan. My mind raced, piecing together fragments of conversations half formed thoughts that had been lingering for days.I recalled how he called me when I was about to enter my car. I wondered what he was doing in California at the time. Was he aware that I took Carl to Disneyland?My thoughts also drifted to Carl and I recalled how he asked me about Logan. He kept on mentioning the name, “Logan,”till we got home and I couldn't help but brood.My thoughts drifted to my date wi

Emily's POV I parked my car at the side of the road, my gaze fixed on the enormous school building in front of me.. Carl attends one of the best schools in the city and I’m proud of his academic performance. He’s got two smart parents, so I’m not surprised.Logan is quite intellectual and versed in a lot of things. But then, his brother, Lucas, is brainy and highly intelligent as well. Lucas is usually calm and collected, and he likes to think differently from everyone else.Alighting from the car, I strolled towards the building, sweeping my gaze across every face of the kids.“Where are you, Carl?” I mumbled, stealing several glances at my wristwatch.“Who are you here to see, ma’am?” One of the school officials asked, and I introduced myself.They aren’t really used to seeing my face because Carl’s nanny is often the one who comes to pick him up from school.“Carl Gills. I’m his mother,” I replied..Two other officials walked out to see me and they could recognize me in an instant

Emily's POV Grabbing a shot of whiskey at one of the opulent bars in the city, I downed its content, loving the feeling of freedom and the power that thrummed through my veins. Dusk had fallen outside and patrons strolled the musty dim-lit bar. With a smile pulling at the corners of my lips, I refilled my drink, watching as it bobbled to the brim of the cup, a feeling of anticipation stirring within me. I've been such a mess since I heard those words from Carl.. I failed again.. I failed to give him the response he needed. I feel guilty not telling him who his father was. Logan doesn't deserve him but then, it hurts that my son needs him. Whenever Carl brings up a topic about his father, my thoughts often drift to the past and I hate to recall everything that happened. My eyes glistened with unshed tears as the reality of my predicament dawned on me. Various grenades went off in my head, my blood boiling and my hands balling into fists. “Why is everything so screwed up!

Emily’s POV“Get those filthy hands off her!” Logan growled, his eyes spitting fire. Even when his gaze was not on me, I could feel a shiver run down my spine.My heart pounded in my chest and my head straightened as I fixed my gaze on him. I was utterly astonished at the sight of him. I hadn’t expected that he’d show up here.“How dare you touch her!” He growled as he grabbed Lancelot by the collar, his eyes searing his skin like a firebrand.“Answer me!!” Logan spat, his dominance projected the anger in his voice and it sliced through me like a knife.I swallowed the lump in my throat as I watched the entire scene unfold.I felt a certain thrill rippling through me as Logan locked eyes with me.. I didn’t expect to see him today but the confidence in his tone, his display of concern, and the way he held my gaze was enough to keep me rooted.Lancelot chuckled, and he got enraged and hit him continuously. Logan twisted his arm and several people were quick to intervene, stopping what c

Collin's POV Visiting Emily that Friday was fun and refreshing. We planned on going to the cinema last weekend but our plans fell through because I got busy with a lot of things. Reclining on the sofa, I gave her a wine glass filled with french wine. I grabbed my wineglass and we raised our glasses to make a toast, sealing the moment. After gulping our drink, I sighed, a profound sense of relief washing over me. I wrapped my arms around her and pestered her forehead with kisses. “Finally we get to spend this weekend together. I've been dying to have you in my arms, Emily,” I whispered, nuzzling her. Her beautiful lavender scent wafted in the air and the scent of her hair shampoo got my attention. It smelled of apple and pine. “So. How are we going to spend this Christmas season?” Emily asked, smiling as I cuddled her, filling her with my warmth. It's the second week of December with a few days to go before Christmas. The fireplace burned bright with golden flames, spreading a t
