(Author’s POV).“Mr. Ben, you and Miss Jane are coming with us to the police station right now.”“What?! What the hell?! You came out of nowhere and told me to come with you?!” “Let me go!” Jane screamed and they became attention center to the employees there.At that moment the police did come to his office, more precisely Emily's office. He was surprised by the arrival of the police who immediately told him to come with them. Jane was also panicked and scared.“You and Miss Jane have corrupted the company's money and we have a valid report. Come with us.”Forcibly, they were both taken to the police station. They continued to resist and deny the accusations while the police did not let go of the handcuffed men.Ben looked panicked but he couldn't help but become resigned as there was nothing he could do. Meanwhile Jane at his side continued to grumble in annoyance.“Why are you doing nothing? Do something!” “How? I don't know what to do, Jane. I didn't expect this to happen either.
(Emily’s POV).“What? You're kidding, right? You two are way too different in age!”I laughed a little at his words which sounded so shocking. Then I shook my head with a sigh, feeling the courage in me.“Not too far, Ben. You haven't forgotten what I said about me marrying someone who's more than you in every aspect, have you?”He looked at me and was still in shock. Even Mike took my hand and kissed it right in front of him. One of his hands also rubbed my stomach and as Mike reached for my chin, he kissed my lips.“What the hell is this, Mike?! Are you betraying me all this time?! I ... Fuck! I heard about this issue, about you and her but I never thought it would be real!” “You were the one who betrayed her, Ben. I just well, avenged her,” Mike responded.I sighed as my stomach suddenly tightened. Even though I felt fine, I actually felt tense at the moment, but I tried to hide it from Mike so that he wouldn't worry.“What you did was a mistake, Ben. You stole and cheated somethi
(Emily’s POV).“I just want to see him in person, Mike. I want to show how happy I am after meeting you.”Mike looked doubtful about my request when I said to him I wanted to see Ben alone. He almost didn't permit me because he was afraid that I couldn't accept the way Ben talked to me when he wasn't by my side.“I will be fine, Mike. I will have you men behind me. You always order them to follow me whenever you're not with me, right?” I was trying to make him sure that I would be fine. His expression showed worry and sighed when he touched my shoulders.“I wish I could forbid you to meet him, but seeing your plea like this, I can't,” he said.“So, you're allowing me?” “Yes. I am. But be careful.”I nodded my head and sighed after he kissed me. I then left him with the bodyguard keeping me as always. I also brought some food for Ben because I knew he couldn't eat good food at the jail. But this time the food I brought would be different.After I arrived at the police station, I wai
44.(Emily’s POV).“Honestly, I’m shocked about you two,” Miguel said, breaking down how I and Mike were kissing before him.“That’s not new again if you’re shocked, Brother. The important thing is, you already know,” Mike replied.Miguel looked at me and I just smiled at him to cover my nervousness. He was my ex-fiance’s father, of course, there was still awkwardness I felt after his son and I broke up. I also knew he must feel disgusted by what he just saw today.“I see you are so serious about this, Emily. I just … didn’t know that the guy you would date after my son is my little brother, who is his uncle.”I sighed and kept smiling in front of him. “I guess love doesn't see age if you mean our age gap, Miguel.”“Miguel, your son is already out of his line, you know that. This is his punishment to be in jail and I hope you don’t mind about this.” Now Mike was trying to clear it up and Miguel seemed never bothered about it. But deep inside, I knew he was mad at Mike for trapping Be
(Emily’s POV).“Dad?!”I was shocked to see him smiling broadly at me, even dressed for a ride on his Harley, wearing only his leather jacket brought by Laura.He looked healthy and even different from how he had last been with me. His arms were stretched out as if he was telling me to hug him.“Don't you want to hug me, my daughter?” I was still in shock and reluctant to move closer to him. His voice was clear in my ears without any flaws. He could move too and that still added to my shock. Because who would have thought that my father could return to normal even without me knowing all this time?“Are you... real?” I asked, still shocked.Then my father came closer and he actually walked normally. His hands were on my shoulders and squeezing me slightly, giving me the reality that this was all real, not a dream or a fantasy.“You feel my touch, my daughter. So I'm real.”I hugged him and my tears fell right there and then. I cried because I was moved and because I was happy. I didn
(Emily's POV).“Emily, since yesterday I haven't talked about Ben,” my father suddenly spoke while we were having breakfast together. I looked at Mike and he just nodded, listening. “I want to visit him today with you, honey. Well, Mike, you're okay with me going with him, right?”This time my father looked at Mike for his approval. Who would have thought that Mike would immediately agree without the sentence that it must be with his bodyguard.Maybe Mike really trusted my father because I was his son after all, and Mike certainly didn't show any worry on his face.“I'm fine as long as Emily is fine,” Mike said.This time the two men looked at me, waiting for my answer since I had been silent. I sighed and finally nodded. “Fine if that's what you want, Dad.”They both smiled and we continued our breakfast quietly without any more conversation.After breakfast, my dad went to get ready in his room while I waited for him sitting in the living room. Mike was by my side, killing time befo
(Emily's POV).“Did you ever think about what if I regretted it and maybe got a chance to be with your daughter again, Jim?”Ben suddenly spoke as my father and I were about to leave. Of course, my dad looked at him and sat back down, and so did I.“You won't get any chance!” I hissed this time, telling him so emphatically.My stomach immediately felt cramped and I was suddenly stressed just imagining him coming back to me. However, I didn't want him to come back and no matter what, even if he changed one day, I would never open the door to my heart for him.“Ben, you really are like a little boy who just grew up, you know. You're not mature at all. Do you think I'll give you that chance? Of course not. So you might as well just dream and enjoy the rest of your life with nothing.”My father immediately pulled my hand to get out of his way and it was a relief to hear him say that, really showing how angry and disappointed he was with Ben.Being outside was even more of a relief, gettin
(Emily’s POV).I tried on several wedding dresses according to Mike's choice and of course as much as possible to fit my stomach for the next month because I was pregnant."How about this? I think I look better in this than I did before," I said as I presented myself in front of Mike.Mike stood up from the chair and he came closer to me. He looked like he was stunned by my appearance and his hands were on my waist."You're beautiful, Love. I've fallen in love with you so many times, you know. You really... leave me speechless."I swallowed. Just hearing his compliments made my heartbeat. He really knew how to please his women and I always fell under his charm."So, this mermaid gown is what I will wear later?" I asked again to confirm.He nodded while frowning and suddenly laughed. "Wait, you call this mermaid gown?"I nodded in surprise. "That's the name, Mike. Don't make fun of it!" I was embarrassed even though I knew that what I said was true. Even the name tag said Mermaid Weddi
