'What do you want, you godforsaken bastard?' Emma gritted her teeth in anger as she heard Alex's voice over the phone. 'Oh, someone is upset and sounding feisty.' Alex chuckled over the door. 'Did you like the gift that I sent your kids?' 'You bastard! Touch them and I'll kill you!' Emma yelled but quickly looked around to check for the presence of anyone. 'I'm so scared.' He faked a shivering voice over the phone. 'I would have easily poisoned them, I'm sure that they were munching on the chocolate, eating with both hands. They looked cute when I saw them,' Alex said those words to irritate and taunt her. Anger surged in Emma, she couldn't help grimacing and having the urge to resort to violence. 'I don't care to know the information you have about my family, but I'm warning you. Leave us alone, don't ever come to this house or get close to my children again.' Emma said, sobs interrupting her words. 'Are you crying? Did you get terrified?' he mocked her. 'I thought you were fe
Liam gazed at Emma, his eyes went down to her lips, which were twitching a little. He would have loved to kiss her, but he didn't want her to feel awkward.He didn't want gossip to start spreading, either. The kiss might bring negative comments about her and also cause some problems in the relationship that he thought she had. “Kiss!” Elizabeth was grimacing, where she sat. She didn't want something so intimate to happen between them. It would kill her. She darted her eyes to Mr. Smith, who kept insisting that they kissed. She glared at the man, seething with anger, she desperately wanted to tell him to shut up and sit down, but she maintained her composure.Then, she looked at Liam who was still staring at Emma. She knew that Liam was contemplating kissing Emma, and it made her heart sink.'Don't kiss her! Please don't!' Elizabeth thought to herself. Her breath shuddered, and her body got tense. She saw as he tore his gaze away from Emma and stood up.Her heart stopped beating fo
Emma's eyes widened a little, staring into his dark orbs that were quite beautiful. They distracted her for a second, but then she realized what was happening. She gave him a little push, and he fell back on the couch.Quickly, she stood up, swallowing nervously.“I should take— you to your room.”“Yes, take me to my room.” His eyes were half-closed as he stretched his hands at her. She sat on the couch, held her hand behind his neck, and gently lifted him to a sitting position. She grabbed his hand, put it behind her neck, then transferred her hand to his waist. “At the count of three, we will stand together. One, two…” At the mention of three, she helped him up. They left the sitting room and struggled up the stairs. Liam kept staggering, making it harder to reach his room. They stopped in front of the room, which he drunkenly pointed at.“Where's the key?” Emma asked. “In my pocket,” Liam replied and smiled at her. Emma checked his pocket and brought out his key. She opened
Emma's hand slowly went to her chest as she wondered what was happening to her. She always chided herself for thinking oddly, but this time she gave herself a full scolding. It wasn't right to think that way about her boss. She thought that he wasn't interested in her, and it was bizarre for her to develop any romantic feelings for him.'This can't happen to me, I have to control my thoughts and how I react towards certain gestures. He's simply being nice to me, I shouldn't overthink it.' Emma said inwardly before sucking in deep breaths. Liam walked into the elevator with her and struggled to press a button. “I'll do it,” Emma said and pressed the button that would lead them to the first floor. “Thanks.” Liam smiled. “You can put me down, don't I have so much weight?” Emma asked, wanting him to drop her. “No, you don't have weight. You are as light as a feather.” Liam chuckled, but when he lowered his gaze, he caught her glaring at him. “It's true, you're perfect. I can carry y
Emma's lips curved to the side, and she tore her gaze away from Elizabeth to Liam. “Yes sir. I'd love to join you. It's an honor.” Emma answered. She didn't want to give a positive response at first because she had been quite negligent towards her kids but seeing the desperation in Elizabeth's eyes to grab that opportunity, she decided to agree.“You agree to anger me, right?? You desperate slut!” Elizabeth shot an affront at her.“Elizabeth, watch your words. Why do you keep flaring up and insulting Emma?” Liam queried, having a surprised look on his face. He had never suspected any argument or conflict between them. It was shocking how Elizabeth kept lashing derogatory remarks at her. “I don't care what you say, Elizabeth. My decision has been made, I'm going on a trip with Mr. Liam and there's nothing you or anyone can do about it. So, you can keep ranting as much as you like.” Emma said, maintaining the smirk on
“They don't love me. I had to set her up mother fucking ass up to make my father kick her out. If I hadn't done that, she would still be in this house, making claims over everything.” Elizabeth said, crying heavily. Blood was dripping down her feet, her skirt was also stained with blood that dropped from her skin which was poked deeply by the shards of glass. Elizabeth heard approaching footsteps in her room and knew it was her mother. Like she had thought, her mother dashed into her room. She was startled earlier by the crumbling and shattering of things, she wanted to ignore it thinking it was one of Elizabeth's fits but after hearing her cries, she became worried and had to come rushing upstairs “Elizabeth.” Mrs. Crown gasped, her eyes widening as she stared at the messy room. “Why did you do all this? What happened?” Her warm tone was laced with concern. “My baby, what happened?” Mrs. Crown asked, slowly walking towards her daughter. She gasped again, seeing the blood, the
Emma was at home with the kids and Roland, having dinner. She decided to tell them about her trip with her boss. “Guys, I want to talk about something,” Emma uttered, slowly dropping her spoon.“What do you want to talk about, Mom?” Aziel asked, curiously staring at his mother. “Don't tell us that you think this food is poisoned, too.” Emma laughed as she heard his words. “No, it's not about that.” Emma shook her head, glancing at Roland, who had his gaze intently at her. “Then what is it about? Please tell us because the surprises we've been getting are becoming unbearable.” Roland said, unable to hide the annoyance in his voice. He hadn't been happy with her behavior since she started working with Brooke Tech. She had been acting strangely, staying late nights out and doing things that she never did when they were living outside Cyprus. Her change in character made Roland bothered. It made him
“Sir, may I make a suggestion?” the hacker asked, his body shivering as he gazed at the gun pointed at him.“What suggestion?” Though Vincent wasn't interested in hearing what he had to say, he would never allow any information to pass him by.“The woman seems intelligent since she could stop all of us single-handedly. Why don't I capture and have her brought here?” the hacker asked.“You talked about a suggestion, but now you're asking questions? How dare you think of bringing that sill woman here? I thought you were wiser, but I guess nod.” Vincent sneered.“Sir, it was-”Before he could complete his sentence, Vincent shot him in the thighs. The bullet penetrated through his skin, almost meeting his bone.“Fuck.” The hacker grunted, his hand went instantly to his thigh, clutching onto it, trying to stop the bleeding.“You better get back to work, instead of saying nonsense.” Vincent gritted his teeth and lowered his gu
