She 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 her waist and her hands were on his chest, his face was so close to hers and she found herself staring into his blue dreamy eyes."Were you looking for me?" He asked smiling and she immediately freed herself from his arms."We need to talk" She said avoiding his gaze."Okay, I hope I'm safe?" He asked smiling revealing his perfect white teeth."We need to go to a place more private, I can't risk being seen with you" Emily uttered, she was tensed but she tried her best not to show it, she's so good at controlling how she feels."Okay, let's go to my room" He said holding her hand and she was shocked. "Why is he acting like we have known each other for a long time?, He's so free with me" she thought in her head."I don't think that's a good idea, a cafe will be nice"."Okay, if you say so" Tyler said and they both headed to the cafe nearby.Ahem... Emily cleared her throat before she began. "What transpired between us was not meant to happen, I'm someone who has an image to protect so how about I offer you something so that you can keep this between us"."Do you think that I will go about spreading rumors about you?" He queried, he stares were enough to rip into her soul."I'm launching my new clothing line next week and it's gonna be a lot, I need a personal bodyguard" Her gazed shifted from his face to his body as she tries so hard to ignore the voice in her head screaming and telling her how handsome and tempting he is.Tyler finds Her so interesting, he was so excited that she came back for him, he made sure he maintained an eye contact with her, he has fallen so hard for her after setting his eyes on her at the hotel. Her Beauty and demeanor were the first thing that attracted him to her. He could still remember what her lips tasted like that night they met, he loves how she carries herself and how confident she is. She offered him something he can't reject, he needs a job and working for someone he loves would be a dream come true but he decided to turn her down, he doesn't want to look so easy."I'm not interested, you can ask someone" He stood up and wanted to leave but She grabbed his hand. " I will pay you any amount you want, I just need you to be my bodyguard." She declared to him. She knows she was sounding so desperate but, she would do anything to keep him beside her, she wants to know more about him, she wants to know if he was sent by someone to ruin her.Tyler couldn't resist her, he has been job hunting for months and hasn't found one, he also wants to be beside her."Okay. I also need a place to stay, I can't stay in the hotel anymore, I can stay in your place". He smirked.Emily's face creased, she can't afford to live with someone, her house helps lives outside her house. She has no other option that to accept, she needs to keep her eyes on him before he says anything."I accept" She said and Tyler smiled, he knows what he is doing, he wants to be close to her and make her fall in love with him. It was so strange because he hasn't loved anyone the way he loves Emily. You could tell how badly he wants her for himself by looking into his eyes, he looks at her with so much affection.He carried his bag from the hotel room and both of them headed to her car. They arrived at Emily's mansion and he was flabbergasted by what was in front of him, he has always heard people talking about heaven on earth and he has just seen one. They got inside and Emily removed her jacket and dropped it on the sofa before facing him."I will show you your room but I want to make some rules which you must abide to", she paused and looked at him before she continues...."Firstly, You must take your job so serious. Secondly, Don't try to act friendly with me and thirdly, Don't ask me questions about my personal life" She said staring at him, she noticed that the way he stares at her was different, it was as if he was staring into her soul.She was giving an Alpha female vibes and Tyler loves it so much, he's used to ladies drooling over him and forcing their selves on him. He is so excited to find a lady who is different, he finds her domineering attitude so attractive. He knows that making her open her heart to him won't be easy and he isn't backing down.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
Your father is Dead!" Her mom's voice echoed, she could feel her heart breaking. Her father is the only one that supports and loves her, she broke down in Tyler's arms."It's going to be okay" He tells her while consoling her."I will never leave you alone, Emily" He assured her before embracing her in an affectionate way.Her father's death took a toil on her and she became gloomy. she has lost the only person who loved and supported her. she knew that the battle line has been drawn and her mom and sister will strongly come at her now that she's alone.Few days after the funeral her father's lawyer informed the family about the will which will be read in a few days. it caused a lot of tensions as Celine and her mom has bestowed it upon themselves to make sure Emily has nothing, they couldn't hide their hatred for her Despite everything Tyler didn't leave her side, he made sure she wasn't thinking about anything, there's nothing more important to him than her mental health.He sa
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
