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 leftShe rushed back home and met Gracie standing outside of her building."We found him, it happens that he lives at the hotel where you guys met. he's also looking for a job, everything you should know about him are in these papers. He's an ordinary guy, it would be so easy to shut him up" Gracie said smiling as she pace around the sitting room. Emily couldn't contain her Joy, she hugged Gracie tightly and pecked her on her cheek "I don't know what I could have done without you" She said to her.She arrived at the hotel the next day hoping to see him around because she couldn't remember his room number as she was in a hurry to leave that day. She was looking around the hotel and also looking at the people entering and leaving trying to spot him, it was a miracle that she could still remember what he looks like. She was so busy straining and stretching her neck that she slipped and was about falling down when someone caught her and she fell into his muscular arms, His hands were on
Emily woke up at the sound of her alarm, she got up from the bed and headed to the kitchen for water. she opened the bottled water and was about gulping it down when she looked out through the window and immediately her jaw dropped.She saw Tyler working out, his muscular arms were sweaty and his black hair was so wet that you could see water dripping from them. He was so hot and tempting that Emily forgot she has been staring at him for a long time."Oh my goodness!, He's coming towards me, what should I do?, I need to act like I wasn't looking at him" She panicked as he headed towards her."Good morning Sunshine, hope you slept well?" He asked and smiled at her. Emily loved the name sunshine, she can't remember the last time someone called her sweet names while smiling so genuinely at her. They were so lost as they stare at each other, the desire to be in each other's arms was too strong, they were yearning so much for each other, you could tell that they were still holding on dea
After sharing a passionate kiss, Tyler carried her in a bridal style and laid her down on her bed, he resisted the urge to make love to her because she was drunk. He wants to do it with her when she's not drunk so that she could feel whatever he's doing to her body, he would love to see her react to his touch. He covered her with her blanket before retiring to his room.Things has been awkward between them after that night. Emily has been avoiding Tyler, the fact that she has fallen in love with him after promising herself not to give in to any man scares her. Knowing that he's younger than her made her feel like she's committing a crime. She acts coldly towards him but that doesn't change the fact that she couldn't let that night out of her head. There's a part of her that is broken and he happens to be the only one that could fix it, her body and soul longs so much for him. She has so much control over her body and situations except how she feels towards Tyler and it scares her a
Celine was so excited, the first time she laid her eyes on Tyler she has a feeling that he was more than a bodyguard. There was something unusual with the way they stare at each other."Why is she dating her bodyguard, I know he's hot and handsome but that isn't enough for her to lower her standard" She paced around her room in her night gown smirking as she looks at the picture on her phone.Emily has been so busy preparing for her big event, she's finally launching her new clothing line and it hasn't been easy for her. she has been so stressed out , thank God for Gracie who has been helping her and her boyfriend who made her his priority."Everything is under control but there's something you need to know" Gracie said to her, you could tell she was nervous from her body movements."Tell me, I'm all ears". She looked at her ready to hear whatever she has to say."Your mom set you up on date with another man, she said you should make sure everything works out between both of you, she
"These pictures are everywhere, what should we do?" Gracie asked her. She was so confused and doesn't know what to do next."Why does it have to be today?, Why didn't they do this after my event " she said sadly. A part of her wants to sit down at her hotel room and weep, people were trolling and making mean comments about her. A part of her also wants to walk out of her hotel room with her head held high and continue her event. She wished Tyler was here with her, she looked at his necklace which was hanging around her neck, she held it tightly before turning towards Gracie."I'm going out, people are waiting for me" She tells her. That was a tough decision but she knew she has to do it."Are you sure about that?, Reporters are everywhere around this hotel" Gracie said to her. At this point she doesn't care about the damage that has been caused, her relationship with Tyler isn't something to be ashamed of."This person should be struck by lightning for choosing today to do this to y
Tyler's driver drove Emily home before driving him to his parents house to see them."What is this all about?, I thought you said you were on a vocation with your friends" his mom queried furiously."I'm sorry for not informing you and Dad, I'm in a relationship with Emily and I want to make her my wife." His father's countenance changed, he immediately became so angry. he has always been the lenient one, he let's his kids do what they want but not this time, he can't let his son get married to her."I won't let that happen" his mom said to him and he became sad. "You have always wanted me to get married to someone from a powerful and influential family and Emily fits the description so well"." I have always wanted that but I won't let you get married to someone who's older than you" his mom said to him."Your mother is right, we have someone already for you to marry and she's a year younger than you, you should try going out with her" His father added."I don't care about the age
★Flashback★Tyler Clamond Diatz came back after studying abroad, he was having lunch with his business Associates at a restaurant when he saw someone that caught his attention. He saw a very beautiful and elegant lady walk out of the restaurant, she had an aura of confidence and a cold personality and that he finds super attractive and seductive."Who's she?" He asked his associates as she walks past them, he was hoping they will know about her because they have been in the city and thank God they were able to recognize her."Don't tell me you are attracted to her?" One of them asked."Emily Hudson?, You might as well give up now, she's the coldest person I know" the other one said and Tyler was confused."What are you trying to say?" He asked them."She's Emily Hudson, recently she was announced as the heiress to the Hudson's family. She called off her wedding to a business partner" one of them said."And she's known for rejecting and turning down prominent and wealthy men who alway
" Bring her to me now!" He commanded over the phone."She's miss Hudson's younger sister" the voice said and Tyler was shocked, he was so confused as to why her sister would do that to her."Keep an eye on her" He said before hanging up. He wondered why her sister would do something so mean to her. He realized that Emily has so many enemies and vowed to protect her with everything in him. He thought telling her about it will make her so sad and the last thing he wants is to see her sad but he doesn't also want to keep secrets from her again, he decided to take her on a date."So, you rented this whole place just to have dinner with me?" Emily asked Him as he pulls the chair out for her to sit down."Anything for you, my sunshine" He said and Emily chuckled. A waiter took their orders and within some seconds their foods were served."Dig in" he said to her smiling and she nods her head. She noticed he has been staring at her without blinking."You are doing of more of staring than eat
The night after the wedding was quiet and still, as if the world was holding its breath, watching the newlyweds as they began their journey together. Emily and Tyler returned to their private suite, hand in hand, wrapped in the soft afterglow of their wedding celebration. The air between them was filled with an intimate anticipation, their love radiating in every glance and touch.The room had been decorated with rose petals scattered across the bed and the scent of lavender drifting through the air, calming and inviting. A gentle light filled the room, illuminating the space just enough to cast a warm glow around them.As they entered, Tyler let out a soft laugh, turning to look at Emily. "I still can’t believe you’re mine," he murmured, reaching up to tuck a stray hair behind her ear.Emily smiled, her eyes shining as she looked at him. "And I can’t believe I get to love you every day."Tyler reached for her hand, drawing her close until there was no space between them. His gaze was
The sun shone brightly on the day of Emily and Tyler’s wedding, casting a warm glow over the carefully decorated garden. Flowers bloomed in vibrant colors, and the sweet scent of jasmine filled the air. Guests began to gather, a mix of family and friends, each one eager to witness the union of two people who had overcome so much to be together.Emily stood in her bridal suite, surrounded by her closest friends. The dress clung to her in all the right places, and the delicate lace veil framed her face perfectly. She could feel the excitement bubbling within her, a blend of nerves and sheer joy. Glancing in the mirror, she took a deep breath, allowing herself to soak in the moment.“Are you ready to become Mrs. Tyler Hudson?” Gracie, her maid of honor, asked with a grin.Emily nodded, her heart racing. “More than ready.”After the final touches were made, Emily made her way to the entrance of the garden, her heart pounding with anticipation. She could hear the gentle murmur of guests an
Emily sat on the edge of her bed, the weight of the past few weeks pressing down on her shoulders. After Celine's death, the dynamics within her family had shifted. She had always been distant from her mother, Mrs. Hudson, whose harsh words and criticism had left deep scars. But now, Emily found herself longing for connection, for the chance to mend the rift that had widened between them.Taking a deep breath, she reached for her phone and dialed her mother’s number. The phone rang twice before her mother picked up.“Emily,” Mrs. Hudson answered, her tone guarded yet curious.“Mom, can we talk? I really want to see you,” Emily said, her voice steady but filled with a hint of vulnerability.“I suppose so,” her mother replied reluctantly. “Where do you want to meet?”“Let’s just have dinner at home. I’ll cook,” Emily suggested, a nervous flutter in her stomach.There was a brief pause, then Mrs. Hudson replied, “Alright, I’ll be there.”Emily hung up, feeling a mix of anxiety and hope.
As days turned into weeks after Celine’s funeral, Emily found herself struggling to navigate her grief while trying to reconnect with Tyler. Their relationship, once vibrant and full of promise, now felt strained and distant, like a threadbare tapestry fraying at the edges. Emily knew that Tyler was hurting, and she wanted to be there for him, but every time she tried to bridge the gap, she was met with an unyielding wall of silence.One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in shades of pink and gold, Emily decided to reach out. She texted Tyler, her fingers hovering over the keyboard for a moment before she hit send: "Can we talk? I miss you."Moments later, her phone buzzed. "Meet me at our spot?"Her heart lifted at the invitation. Their spot—an intimate little café tucked away on a quiet street—had been their go-to place for late-night conversations, laughter, and stolen kisses. She quickly got ready, feeling a flutter of anticipation and anxiety in her s
The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm golden hue over the cemetery as mourners gathered around Celine’s grave. The atmosphere was heavy with sorrow, a palpable grief that wrapped around each person like a shroud. Emily stood near the front, her heart aching as she watched the small casket being lowered into the earth, a bittersweet finality settling over her.She remembered Celine’s laughter, the way her eyes sparkled with mischief, and the countless moments they had shared together. Now, it felt like a piece of her own heart had been buried along with Celine. Tears streamed down Emily’s cheeks, the loss cutting deeper than she could have ever anticipated. She clenched her fists at her sides, fighting the urge to scream at the unfairness of it all.“Why did it have to be you?” she whispered to herself, the question echoing in her mind like a haunting refrain.As the ceremony progressed, Emily felt a soft touch on her shoulder. Turning, she saw Tyler standing beside her, his eyes
Celine stared at herself in the mirror, the reflection staring back at her revealing a ghost of the woman she once was. The dark circles under her eyes were deep, and her complexion was pallid, a stark reminder of her declining health. But today, she wanted to feel alive, to cherish one last evening with the people she loved most. She wanted to create memories that would linger, bittersweet yet precious, in the hearts of her family.As she moved about her bedroom, she carefully chose an outfit: a flowing emerald dress that accentuated her figure and a delicate necklace that sparkled under the light. It was her mother’s, a piece she’d treasured for years, and wearing it made her feel connected to the woman who had once been a formidable force in her life. Celine hoped that tonight would not only be a farewell but a reconciliation, a moment to mend the rifts that had formed over the years.Once dressed, she walked downstairs, the familiar scent of her mother’s cooking wafting through th
The following weekend, Tyler and Emily planned a casual day together at the park. They decided to keep it simple—just a picnic, some time in the sun, and a chance to unwind after the pressure of family introductions. As Emily prepared a basket filled with sandwiches, fresh fruit, and cookies, she felt a flutter of excitement. It was a welcome break from the intensity of last week’s dinner.When she arrived at the park, Tyler was already waiting at their usual spot under a large oak tree, a checkered blanket spread out on the grass. His face lit up when he saw her, and he jumped up, jogging over to help her with the basket.“Hey, beautiful! Ready for a perfect day?” he asked, his smile infectious.“Definitely! I brought your favorite cookies,” she replied, handing him the basket.“Now you’re just trying to win me over,” he teased, ruffling her hair playfully.Emily laughed, swatting his hand away as they settled down on the blanket. The sun shone brightly, and a gentle breeze rustled t
The day had finally arrived. Tyler had been preparing Emily for this moment for weeks, and now she stood in front of her mirror, adjusting her hair nervously. She wanted to make a good impression on his family, especially considering the mixed feelings he had shared about them. The thought of meeting them filled her with both excitement and trepidation.“Okay, you’ve got this,” she whispered to herself, taking a deep breath. She put on a floral dress that hugged her figure nicely, hoping to strike a balance between casual and polished. As she slipped on her shoes, her phone buzzed on the bed. It was a message from Tyler.Tyler: Hey! Just left my place. Can’t wait to see you! Remember, be yourself!Emily smiled at his words, but the nerves fluttered in her stomach. After a few moments, she grabbed her purse and headed out the door.When she arrived at Tyler's house, she was greeted by the warm aroma of baked goods wafting from the kitchen. As she approached the door, Tyler opened it wi
The following morning, the sunlight filtered through the curtains of Emily's room, casting soft rays across her bed. Emily stirred awake, her mind still clouded with the events of the previous day. The memory of Ava’s betrayal hung heavily in the air, but beneath that was another, more comforting thought: Tyler. He had stood by her when everything felt like it was crumbling, and she was grateful for his unwavering support.As she got out of bed, her phone buzzed on the nightstand. She picked it up and saw a message from Tyler.Tyler: Good morning, beautiful! How are you feeling today?Emily smiled, her heart fluttering at the thought of him. She quickly typed back.Emily: Morning! Feeling a bit better. Just trying to process everything.After a moment, her phone rang. It was Tyler.“Hey,” she answered, her voice soft.“Hey, you,” he said, his tone brightening her mood. “I was thinking we could go for a walk later, maybe grab some coffee. I want to make sure you’re okay.”“That sounds
