Chapter 2

Tyler woke up and stared affectionately at the beauty sleeping beside him, he was still admiring her when she rubbed her face with the back of her palm and he immediately pretended like he was sleeping, he doesn't want her to feel uncomfortable especially after ending up in his bed in the most awkward way. He laid down quietly as she pick up her things and left the room. He found himself smiling brightly, he looked out through the window and saw her entering into her car with her face covered.

"Why is she acting like she's so famous" he said as he stares at her, " she's so cute".

He got into the bathroom to shower and as the water falls on his body, he could only think of the pretty lady he spent the night with, he could still picture her face burning with desire and her expensive cologne filled the room.

Tyler is Twenty five years ago, he came into the city to look for a job but hasn't found one, he decided to lodge at the hotel since he doesn't have an apartment yet. He has a rough life unlike Emily, he has to work hard to get whatever he wants. He dropped out of school and didn't go to college after the death of his father, his mom couldn't afford to Carter for him and his brother. He had to drop out for his brother to continue his education.

He was working in a convenience store where he makes money and supports his family, he moved to this city after the store burnt down due to a customers mistake, he was hoping he could find something else that would fetch him more money. It's been a week since he arrived and he hasn't been able to find a job.

"I sent someone to track the guy, he will get to us if he finds anything about him or his whereabout" Gracie said to Emily who was dressing up for an event which is being held by her father. She got closer to her and helped her zip her dress.

"I hope it works, I'm so tensed and worried that I can't sleep". She stared into the mirror for the last time trying to be sure that she looks good.

She's thirty two years old but looks younger, she's so beautiful and has the bodily properties of a model, her blonde long hair fell perfectly covering her ears and she makes heads turn wherever she goes to.

She arrived at the event looking so beautiful and stunning, everybody's camera were on her taking pictures of her as she got down from her car. The first person she set her eyes on was Celine, her sister, she was wrapping her hands around Roy and Emily's countenance changed. She could feel the anger of their betrayal coming back, her broken heart which she was trying to fix started aching again.

"I never knew you were coming, I thought you had work to do" Celine said Smirking as she held Roy's hands, he was trying so hard to avoid making eye contact with Emily.

"I don't need to explain my schedule to you " Emily spoke confidently. from her voice, you could tell she was trying so hard to hide the pain she's feeling. She finds it so hard to believe that her sister could be so petty and cheap. She has always known that Celine wants everything that belongs to her but betraying her was the height of it, she wished she could grab her by her hair and teach her a lesson she wouldn't forget.

Roy disgusts her, they met while they were on a business trip and immediately sparks flew, she was so foolish to think that he was the one meant for her. She thought that she has gotten over the incident but she was wrong, seeing them triggered the pain in her heart and now her heart can't stop aching. "I can't break down, I have to be strong" she said trying so hard to hold back tears from falling down her cheeks.

"I need to meet other guests, if you will excuse me" She said to them and faked a smile before walking away.

"Why is she so full of herself?, She acts like everything is about her" Celine said angrily, she was obviously trying to make Emily jealous but that didn't work. Roy was lost, he couldn't deny the fact that Emily is so beautiful and stunning.

Emily saw her mom greeting the guests and smiling. Apart from Celine, her mom is one person that has never supported her, she always takes Celine's side even when she betrayed her. It became more intense after her father made her the heiress of the Hudson's family. Her mom started walking towards her as their eyes met.

"Why did you arrive so late?, Your father and I are waiting" She said to her and that was it. She can't remember the last time her mom hugged her and asked her how she was doing, she has gotten used to it but deep down she longs for the warm affection a mother gives her child.

She followed her mom as she led her to her father. His face immediately became brighter the moment he set his eyes on her, you could tell he was so proud of the lady She has become. She went closer to him and gave him a hug, he asked her how she was doing and how she has been handling the businesses handed over to her. Her father is the only one who loves her so much and she doesn't want to let him down.

She was sitting down beside her father when her phone buzzed and it was a message from Gracie.

"He has been found, hurry back home now!" The message reads and Emily became so nervous and scared, she quickly took her bag and left
