Logan's POV"Sir. Can you tell us about your time at the Marino Empire in New York?" The voice came from the man next to me. He held a microphone in his hand and tried to bring it closer to me. He strained to keep up with his speed because I was walking faster than him. My bodyguards trailed behind me as I stepped into my firm with a stern expression. Camera flashes shined on my face from all angles, and the reporters' inquiries seemed like babbles in my ear, making me even angrier."Sir. Could you tell us about your experiences? Did you get to see the famous CEO of the imperials?" One of the reporters questioned as he brought the microphone in front of me."What was your experience with them? Was your proposal to collaborate with her later approved? He asked, and I glared at him, compelling him to remain silent. I turned to face the cameras with a serious expression, and the entire reporters flinched.I slipped my hands into my pocket and added sharply, "I won't be answering any qu
Emily's POV“Can you get me those folders?” I inquired, pointing to some stacks of files on the mahogany table. Jade, my secretary, nodded before walking in the direction I suggested. She took the blue folder and handed it to me as I extracted some files from it. As I read through the page, I touched my chin with my fingers and crossed my knees on top of each other.I lifted my head to look at Jade, whose keen emerald eyes drilled into mine. She fiddled with her fingers, waiting for my response.“So within the space of three months, we have three job applications?” I asked, caressing my temples.“Yes ma'am. The first applicant is Mrs Smith from New Orleans. She has the passion for jewel making and she's made quite some amazing designs. I think she's interested in partnering with us.” Jade announced and I skimmed through her portfolio, taking note of her designs.I nodded impressively before keeping the papers aside. Placing my elbow on the table, I settled my chin on my clasped finge
The weight of the moment sank in and in that fleeting moment, I felt my body becoming immobile, as if time itself had come to a standstill. The sight of Logan in his sophisticated, sleek suit sent shivers down my spine.“Has he been following me?” I asked, my hands trembling as I held the car door, my breath billowing in the chilly air.My thoughts continued to plague me as I came face to face with that alluring yet slightly intimidating visage of my ex-husband. The mere sight of him sent a wave of emotions crashing over me, stirring up memories I had long buried.Logan couldn’t resist my allure, his desire blazing in his gaze on my body. I feel utterly restless right now. My heart beats out of my ribcage and my lungs feel suffocated by the sight and scent of him.Despite my efforts, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of panic creeping in.Taking a moment to gather myself, I calmed my racing thoughts and tried not to acknowledge his presence. Breathing steadily, I strolled to the other
Emily's POV“Who's the father of your child, Emily?” Logan asked again with a stoic expression on his face. Every color drained from my face and I gawked in disbelief at his audacity to ask about my son's father. He never cared to even listen to me when I was about to reveal the news of my pregnancy to him.Not just that, he was less bothered when he saw the blood on my thighs after Vivian pushed me. Instead of helping me, he went to her because he was so concerned about her.I would have had a miscarriage because of that incident but I was fortunate that my child survived. I recalled the emotional rollercoaster I had been on those years and I felt the corner of my eyes burn with tears.When I thought of how I was treated poorly those times, my quest and desire for vengeance rekindled.“Tell me, Emily. Who's the father of your son? Are you hiding something from me?” Logan asked, flicking his gaze between me and my son who was still engrossed in what he was watching in the car.He he
Emily’s POVMy lips bloomed into a smile as I gazed at my reflection dreamily. Letting out a deep sigh, I looked at myself in the mirror, acknowledging how beautiful I was in this crimson gown. I placed my hands around my tummy, exhaling deeply as I recalled what had transpired between me and Logan the day before. I’ve refused to pick calls from strange numbers since the day I received that unexpected call from Logan. I’m still baffled at how he got my number and I’ve tried my best to avoid him in every way I can.“You look beautiful, ma’am.” The voice pierced the silence, snatching me out of my reverie.A soft smile tugged at my lips as I spun around to stare at my personal maid, who had just walked in.She was in a black dress with a large white collar around her neck, a specific outfit for maids in the Gills Mansion.Her pretty amber eyes carefully scanned my outfit, and her sparkling white teeth showed through her warm smile.“Thanks, Kiara.” I mumbled, picking my black posh bag b
Emily's POV I clenched my fork tightly, panic bubbling within me as I traced Logan's movement. Vivian had her arms entwined in his, and she smiled warmly, with her eyes darting across every one in the restaurant. She was cladded in a short sheath dress with a V-cut that exposed her cleavages. The smile on my face faltered because I wasn't expecting to see them here – Not today of all days.I got so distracted staring at them even as the band continued their performance. The only thing I could hear was my heartbeat and not the sounds emanating from the band's instruments.Logan's deep brown eyes pierced into mine and my heart skipped at every step he took towards me.As if that wasn't enough, he turned to Vivian and proposed that they occupy the empty set of chairs beside us.“Thanks for taking me to such a lovely restaurant, Logan!” Vivian exclaimed, clinging onto Logan like a leech. Logan's eyes were fixed on me and he couldn't help but drool as my alluring appearance captivated hi
Emily's POVEnthusiasm lingered in the air and people's stares made my skin crawl. Their lips curled upwards and the majority of them held a phone in their hands, recording Collin as he proposed to me with a ring on his finger. Noise filled the background as people cheered me to accept the proposal. My hands shook badly as anxiety creeped through my veins. Truly, I wasn't expecting Collin to propose to me today so everything is still like a dream to me.I slipped my fingers into my wavy brunette hair, releasing cool breaths from my mouth as I tried to compose myself. I could feel my heart beat out of my ribcage and my lungs feel suffocated at the moment.“Emerald–” Collin's voice resounded, snatching me out of my thoughts. I turned to stare at his deep sea blue eyes which sparkled as it studied my reaction.I caught a quick glimpse at Logan and I caught him staring at me keenly, his intense eyes glinting with interest.A smirk tugged on my lips because I could see how concerned h
Emily's POV I yanked my hands off his grip, staring at him with so much contempt. My heart feels like it's being hammered as I marveled at his audacity to keep spying on me and feeling entitled to my time. Is he jealous because I agreed to Collins's proposal?. He better not be… “How many times have I told you not to approach me in this manner?” I spat, my voice tinged with venom. “Are you really happy getting married to Colin?” He asked, his face as calm as the surface of the lake. His deep brown eyes searched my face, weighing the truth in my eyes. “Tell me, Emily. Are you truly happy getting married to him?” His statement fueled the rage in me and when I couldn't hold it anymore, I retaliated by pushing him off me. “You have no right to ask me such a question, Logan! You have no right to question my plans and intentions. If my intention is to get married to Collin, I don't see why you should feel so bothered about it.” I snapped at him, my voice raising an octave
