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 dearly onto the night they shared at the hotel."Ahem...." Gracie cleared her throat making a sound, she arrived some seconds ago but both of them didn't notice her presence.Emily snapped out of her thoughts after Gracie made a sound, she introduced her to Tyler before he retired to his room to get ready for the day."Wow!, He's so handsome!" Gracie said to Her as she watch Tyler go to his room, she held her hand smiling and jumping around. "You never told me he was so hot" She said again but Emily ignored her, she has gotten used to her friend being so excited after seeing handsome guys."He looks so young, I think he is into younger ladies" Gracie said and Emily's heart sank deep. she excused herself and got into the bathroom, she stared into the mirror for sometime thinking about what Gracie said. She decided to ignore the butterflies in her stomach and how she feels about Tyler. ★★★★★"Are you okay?" Roy asked Celine as he enters the bedroom and saw that she was Lost in thoughts."How can I be fine when Emily is out there acting like the world revolves around her, She's launching her new clothing line next week and I can't let that happen". Roy stares at her as she pace around the room, he respects and loves her but, he doesn't support her evil schemes."Let's forget about her and focus on ourselves" He said as he went closer to her, he tried to kiss her but she shrugged him off like she always does and Roy was pissed."There must be something that I can use to end her beautiful career, I need to find out what her fear is, everyone has something that they are scared of, something they don't want anyone to know" she smirked before walking out of the room.Roy was pissed off by Celine's attitude towards their love life and marriage, she stopped getting intimate with him a long time ago and Roy has been understanding hoping she would change. He doesn't understand the sudden change of behavior, she pays less attention to their marriage and sex life because she's so busy scheming and planning evil and he has gotten tired of her."What's on my schedule today?" Emily asked Gracie as she gulps down the coffee on her table, she always starts her day with a cup of coffee."Your meeting with the CEO of Diatz's company is today" She said and Emily sighed heavily. She has always wanted to partner with the Diatz company which happens to be the best company that deals with High technology and futuristic projects.They have rejected her proposal five times and she decided to submit another proposal for the sixth time hoping it will work, her father would be so proud of her if she succeeds. The heir to the Diatz company is like a mini god and everyone talks about him, he left to study abroad after high school and so many people haven't seen him yet but they can't wait to see the only Son of Clamond Diatz( his father)."Stay at the office and take care of things, Tyler will escort me to the meeting". She was looking so nervous as she got into her car."You are so nervous about your meeting with the Diatz company" Tyler's voice rang into her ear. "Don't worry, I assure you that it will work out this time" he said to her."What does he know about meetings like this?" She asked herself. They arrived at the company and she got down from the car, the building is made of glass and steel and it's surrounded by a beautiful garden with fountains and sculptures. Inside, there are high tech labs and conference rooms. She was about getting into the building when he drew her back and made her face him as he stares into her eyes passionately."You got this, go in there and make it happen, I'm rooting for you" he said to her and she could feel the butterflies in her stomach singing. She was happy that someone is supporting and rooting for her."Thanks so much" she smiled before walking in confidently in to the building, she never knew that a few words from someone could make her so confident and strong. ★★★★After some minutes, the meeting was over and Emily walked out of the building and her face wasn't so bright."How did it go?, From the look on your face I can tell it didn't work out" Tyler said to her."I succeeded!!" She shouted happily and hugged him out of excitement, she quickly released herself after realizing that she hugged him."This calls for celebration, how about we celebrate over a bottle of brandy?" He asked and she nodded her head happily.They sat down at the sitting room gulping down the drink, Emily was drunk but she couldn't stop drinking, she found herself laughing at everything Tyler said which was so strange to her. She has never felt this comfortable with anyone, she couldn't hide the fact that she feels drawn to him.He stares at her beautiful face as she laughs wholeheartedly to his jokes, he felt the urge to kiss her, he couldn't help but think about her body pressed against his."I'm in love with you" He whispered into her ear and those words sent shivers down her spine, it aroused her burning desires but, she can't do anything about how she feels about him. It felt so wrong to Emily especially the fact that he's much younger than her and he's her employee, her bodyguard."I can't say I feel the same way about you" She lied."You are lieing, I can see it, it's written all over your face""What is written all over my face?""Your love for me, Emily" He came closer to her and whispered seductively into her ear and she was tensed."Let me in, please" He pleaded softly as he placed a kissed on her earlobe and she closed her eyes feeling what he was doing to her body. He kissed her earlobe down to her neck and a soft moan escaped her lips, she decided to let her guards down and let him have his way with her. He puts his hands around her waist and drew her closer to himself, he tucked her hair to the back of her ear so he could see her pretty face clearly. He stared at her passionately before planting a soft kiss on her lips and she closed her eyes.They broke apart and stared at each other for some time before he kissed her again but more intensely and Emily grabbed his shirt as she kissed him back.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
12The party had been perfect, the kind where everyone was dressed to the nines, laughter filled the air, and Emily had allowed herself to feel something she hadn’t felt in years—joy, hope, the possibility of love again. She had even started to believe that maybe, just maybe, she could have something real with Tyler.But then Ava had arrived.Emily stood on the balcony, the cool night air brushing against her skin, but it did little to calm the fire of confusion and betrayal raging inside her. She had come out here to escape the suffocating atmosphere inside, where she could still see the image of Ava walking confidently through the crowd, draping herself around Tyler like she had every right to be there. Like she belonged.Tyler had followed her out, of course. He was pacing a few feet away, hands running through his hair, trying to find the right words. Emily stared out at the city lights, her thoughts tangled.“You could have told me, Tyler,” she
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
