Emily's POV

Back at the party in Colorado ~

Tension hung heavily in the air and I could feel panic gnawing at my chest as the sounds of gunshot pierced the silence. Loud screams erupted, everyone's faces covered in fright as they ducked, and raised their hands to shield their faces from the attackers.

Chaos ensued and I flew my gaze around, trying to comprehend what led to the sudden gunshots. I took my gaze to my dad, trying to maintain a demeanor that I didn't possess.

The once peaceful hall was now overwhelmed with dread.

Gasps erupted once again at the sound of another gunshot. Loud screams cut through the unsettling silence and guards as well as security personnel scurried in the direction of the gunshots to stop the attacker from hurting anyone.

Ethangot on his feet, a calm demeanor on his face as if he wasn't bothered with the chaos that had ensued. He wasn't shocked either and his facial expression was unreadable.

The loud pop music boomed, its strong beat reflecting the pulsating energy that emanated within. A soft smile tugged at her lips as she flew her gaze around, her narrowed eyes scanning the bar in search of someone. Her grin stretches when she finally locks eyes with the person she had been searching for. “Welcome, Vivian,” Cecile grinned as she approached her with wide arms. She was in a magenta off-the-shoulder sheath dress that highlighted her shape and curves.. The golden luxurious jewelleries she wore glistened under the glowing chandelier and her perfume wafted heavily in the air. After giving Vivian a brief hug, she eyed her from head to toe, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes. “I thought you were gonna be late,” Cecile said, clicking her tongue as she took a sip of her drink from the champagne flute. “I can’t miss such an impo

    Emily's POV Heaving a deep sigh, I reclined on the chair, with my legs crossed on top of the other. After the event, dad and I arranged our flight back to New York. We were meant to stay for a bit longer because the Waltons were more than friends to my father, but we had to depart because of Carl. His nanny called; she advised us that he was sick and that I needed to leave immediately. I'm still puzzled as to what caused the gunfire and commotion back at the party. I felt Ethan was hiding something since he promptly addressed the situation without involving the cops or questioning the perpetrators. He appears to have known what was going to happen ahead of time. He knew he was going to be attacked and had already prepared for it.“Enjoy your lunch,” the flight attendant said as she dropped a tray of biscuits, waffles and a nice light decent meal on my table.I kept a forced smile on my face as soon as our eyes locked. She was dressed in a navy customized uniform with a cool cap

"Logan,” She began, and my heart skipped a beat as though the weight of her words could break the fragile calm of her office.“I understand your concerns, but getting a court order without Emily's consent will be difficult.

Dawn crept in through the curtain, casting a pale light across the room, but it did nothing to lift the weight on my chest. Logan had commenced processing a DNA verification for Carl, and although he had discussed it with me earlier, I still couldn’t believe he’d commenced it without my approval. Sitting on the bed, I sighed and slammed the alarm with my palm. The blaring sound went off, and silence ensued. My phone chimed after a while. Yawning, I stared at the caller ID through hodded eyes. “Kate,” I mumbled, sitting on the bed and reclining on the headboard. “Hi Emerald , Good morning. How was your night?” Kate asked, concerned. “My night was fine. How was yours?” “It was great. I spent the night at Jeremy’s. I’m on my way home..
