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 lot. It felt like her body was betraying her, she decided to keep her distance from him.While Celine was out there plotting against Emily, Roy was going to clubs and drinking himself to stupor, he regretted getting married to Celine and wished Emily would take him back. He staggered to her house reeking of alcohol and shouting her name. She came out of her bedroom and saw him sitting down on the floor of her sitting room, she knew that a day like this will come. she was so excited, she has waited patiently for this day."Leave my house before I make you regret coming here" She said to him and was about leaving when he grabbed her hand violently."Let go of me" she said to him but he still held her. Tyler was in his room when he heard Emily's voice, it sounded as if she was in pains. He hurried downstairs and saw Roy, he went to him and threw a punch on his face and He landed on the floor wincing in pain and his lips started bleeding."Are you okay?" He asked Emily after chasing Roy away, you could tell he was worried about her."I'm fine" she replied abruptly but Tyler saw a small wound on her hand and there was blood coming out of it."Let me take care of that", He held her hand, he wants to treat her wound but she won't let him, she was being so stubborn about it and Tyler wasn't ready to give in."Forget it, I can take care of myself"."Do I look like I'm going to listen to you" He asked and she stared at him, his worried face has a mixture of anger."Won't you ask me any questions about what happened this night?". She was expecting him to ask her questions about Roy, she was going to tell him anyway, she doesn't know why but she feels like she owes him an explanation."I don't want to make you uncomfortable, he doesn't look like someone you want to talk about", he blew some air into her wound so that she won't feel much pain."His name is Roy, he's my sister's husband and......my.....ex" she managed to say and she was struck by his piercing blue eyes. He took a step a close to her and his gaze was so intense."Can you you open up your heart to me?, I want to be part of your life. I want to enjoy and suffer with you, I don't want you to carry your burdens alone" He whispered into her ear in a soft tone and her legs weakened.He held her face and brought it closer to his face, he looked into her eyes in the way that makes her want to let him have his way with her. He has a way of making her feel so much desire, no one has ever made her feel so good the way he does."It's not that easy" she said and looked away. Her experience with Roy left a huge scar in her heart and she's so scared of falling in love again, she don't think her heart can take in more heartbreaks. But, there's something in her that keeps telling her that Tyler is different. The way he looks and cares for her says it all. He looks at her like she's the only thing that matters to him in the world."Don't you feel like you shouldn't be dating someone older than you?" She asked staring at him."I don't care about the age difference, I just want to be with you. I know I'm not wealthy and influential like you but I still want to give my all to you. Please let me in" he pleaded softly and she fell into his arms, she could feel her tears falling freely down her cheeks. He hugged her tightly and whispered into her ear "I will never let go of you". ★★★★★Emily was getting ready to go out for dinner in her parents house, it happens that every last day of the month, they come together as family and eat a meal together.She turns out to be the only one who doesn't enjoy the meal because her mom and Celine won't let her. They will keep throwing shades and saying mean words to her trying to make her uncomfortable. She was standing beside the dressing table when she felt someone's touch on her body, she smiled broadly knowing it was Tyler.He wrapped his hands around her waist, it feels so nice to have someone holding you in the gentlest way, full of love and affection. Just holding you with all the love they have, a home made just for you within those two arms, away from all the bad things of life. She felt so safe around him.The dinner started normally but things suddenly went south when her mom mentioned about her love life, she immediately excused herself and headed to the bathroom."Are you okay" Tyler asked as she came out of the bathroom."I'm not" She said sulking and He pecked her on her forehead. "I'm here for you" He said to her.Celine was coming to the bathroom when she saw Tyler pecking Her sister and immediately took pictures of them."Yes!, Finally I have something that can put her career on hold" She smirked.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 door clicked shut behind Emily as she left the balcony, leaving Tyler alone in the cold night air. For a long moment, he stood frozen, his thoughts a whirlwind of confusion and regret. He could still feel the sting of her words, the unspoken accusation that lingered in the space between them.He had hurt her. He knew that. He never intended to, but his silence, his attempt to handle everything on his own, had pushed her away.The distant hum of music and laughter from the party below felt like an insult now. It was supposed to have been a celebration, an evening where everything would fall into place. Instead, Ava had arrived like a storm, sweeping through the night and tearing apart the fragile foundation Tyler had been trying to build with Emily.Tyler cursed under his breath, running his hands through his hair. He couldn’t let it end like this. He couldn’t let her walk away thinking he didn’t care, that he was just another man who couldn’t be trusted. But how could he convince
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
