Emily
My voice slips down to my throat as I discover Kane on the door, his deep eyebrows twitching into a frown. "Ah! I should have known that's you, Miss Benson," he scoffs, getting inside. I roll my eyes at him, grimacing. "What do you mean?" I snap and immediately lower my voice. Why do I always forget he's my damn boss? He says nothing and presses his lips while laughing silently. Is he literally laughing at me?I fum in anger and glare at him. Properly. He's not in formal wear today but in a tracksuit, the sleeves of his jacket are folded, sweat scattered all over his sharp look as if he was hustling for hours. And that dammnngod smile. I just wanna kill this man for being so smoking hot. I close my eyes tightly, wave my hand in the air and land it across my face. Slap!You deserve that freaking slap, you bitch.Hey everyone, you might get another Kane—Emily chapter tomorrow. I'm loving the way you are liking them. thanks a lot❤
EmilyMonica climbed into the car before me— next to Kane and I had to sit in the backseat, listening to their stupid gossip. Right now, I'm definitely feeling like killing Ivanna. As much as I try to distract my mind and look outside, I just can't digest all this anyway. "Whops! I didn't know you and Adeline would part ways so soon," Monica says. "It's been a long time. Things didn't work out after college. Then I let it go," Kane replies. "What's up now?"Kane cracks up. "Nothing for now. I didn't feel like focusing on anything except work after college""So, you mean you're available?" Monica laughs.My head starts aching as I grab my head and close my eyes. Nothing seemed to be so annoying before. "Seriously, Monica," Kane laughs. "You didn't change at all""Should I? Well, I wish you didn't reject my proposal years back. Is there any c
ChristianIvanna was discharged from the hospital in the afternoon. I brought her back to the villa right away since her lying on the hospital bed was sickening me. I can watch her sleeping and lying on our bed for days or weeks but not in the hospital definitely. There's a small medico set-up in the room because she needs to be under observation for a couple of days. The doctor wanted her to stay over there but I asked him to keep her under observation in the villa itself. They also provided a nurse for her routine check-up. "For how long are you gonna stare at these flowers?" I chuckle, walking towards the bed after the nurse leaves the room. I have been watching her staring at the red roses from the moment she's shifted in the room.She smiles at them lovingly and drifts her eyes at me. "Shouldn't I? These are so pretty and they remind me of the days I spent with you," she whispers.
Colton"Leave me! I said open me, you fucker", the annoying woman won't stop screaming but that's what we need. As I walk inside the empty cabin, I find Irene struggling with the wooden chair, her hands and legs perfectly secure with ropes. Even though she knows she can't get freed, she keeps moving which causes her to bleed at her wrists. I tuck my hands inside my pocket, watching all the drama while staying near the door. Suddenly, her eyes freeze at me. Holy shit!She looks so much like madam Scott that I feel bad and sinful to capture her. It feels like I'm being a traitor or whatsoever. "You bloody bodyguard", she yells at the top of her lungs. "Leave me, I said. Let me go. Your boss will have to pay for this, so as you"She groans all in sweat and her messy hair makes her even more horrible along with her loud voice. I shake my head in disbelief.
Ivanna"Good morning, love. Had to rush for some work. I know I should be there with you but it's urgent. Take care"The note is stuck with a purple rose. I wonder how he manages to do different things every single time to make me smile. "Do you need some help to use the washroom?" Mrs Fisher asks. "No. I think I can walk properly now," I smile at her.However, Mrs Fisher helps me to reach the washroom. I can say Christian has properly prepared everyone before leaving. I'm glad he left instead of hanging his work for me. I stand under the shower while rinsing my body thoroughly with a bunch of roaming thoughts in my head. Finally, I have made up my mind to tell Christian about Adrian and after that, I haven't gotten a single moment to talk about it. The growing concern of Adrian towards me has been disturbing me from the moment when Emily told me she saw Adrian in the hospital. Why was he there? What if Christian saw him and doubted something and
Colton"How's Madam Scott?," I ask Ethan as he comes to the godown with food."She's home. Doing well," Ethan says.Ethan has been working as a butler for months to take Madam Scott wherever she needs to go. In truth, he's not a driver, but a bodyguard especially hired for her. Master Scott doesn't want her to feel uncomfortable about guards which is why she's told that Ethan is a mere driver. "Master Scott is in the office," he shocks me, shaking his head."Darn it. I thought he would be around her for a while. That's why I haven't been around him. I don't know what he's thinking""Why don't you tell him about Miss Rozario, Colton? You're lying to him for the first time," Ethan shrugs."I know and I feel bad about it," I sigh and immediately smirk. "But I thought to have some fun by torturing this cunning woman for a while. She deserves at least a bit"Ethan laughs. "Seriously! You demon possessed you again. Just don't do something like be
Ivanna "Yeah. I'm doing fine," I reply to Emily on the call. "But you're not sounding well today""Huh! No. I'm just tired," she says and I can't really believe it by her tone. No matter how tired she is, she can't sound so low. I squirm on the bed, taking a look at the clock. "Then why are you still at work? Go home. You have classes tomorrow," I tell her."Yeah. I will""Is everything alright, Emily? I don't think you're okay," I gasp. She goes completely silent as if she's confused whether she should tell me or not. "I think I'm a daydreamer," she mutters. "Well, you're not. You're just too easy going and honest about everything. You understand your feelings too fast. And that's really good," I tell her, wondering what's wrong with her. "But this makes me embarrassed every time," it seems like she's gonna cry."Hey, Emily
KaneAfter wrapping up my desk, I leave the cabin at the usual time. The office flood has been vacated in ten minutes. As I walk through the lobby, my eyes land on Emily's desk. She's still here today!Her shift is only five hours long and it has been more than eight hours since she's here. I frown, watching her gather her stuff then quietly leave the floor. I remember the conversation we had earlier. I didn't know what I was trying to deliver to her but it seems like she was hurt. I sigh and walk out of the floor.*Driving out of the basement, I find Emily again by the streets. She's walking slowly as if she's lost somewhere. What the hell am I doing?I never observed someone so much. I mind my own business and never try to know about the employees more than necessary. I hope I can end this— whatever I am feeling for her. Drifting my eyes away, I strive to drive back to my apartment. It takes me just a few seconds to change my
IvannaIt feels like we have gotten back to the old mornings when Christian used to leave before me with a note each day. It's been days since I have had breakfast with him. He again left early this morning. I don't complain tho. He has always been compromising everything for me. It feels good; in fact, the best to be someone's priority. I was too young to remember everything with mom. After her, I was always a second choice for everyone.Dad used to love Irene more than me. Still. Maybe, because he loved Janice more than my mom. Irene was born out of a relationship of love, and I was born out of a loveless marriage. I always thought I would never be able to know how it feels to be someone's priority. No one would ever choose me over anything.Then, a miracle happened and everything changed. After Christian, everything changed. I smile lovingly, turning the pages of the book on my lap and sipping from the coffee. "Ivanna," Mrs Fisher's voice
JohnGetting married in the 50s isn't that strange anymore. But for me, it was— for a man who believed his marriage would last forever and then believed he would never marry again. I stood before the mirror as Ryan helped other groomsmen with their last fit."You all look pretty handsome. Ready to leave. But I wish Kevin had that time to get a good fit. Your suit sucks!""I feel better anyway", Kevin snarls. I chuckle while fixing my bow tie, watching my sons in their 20s still fighting like toddlers. It's been a blessing for me to have a family which didn't break even after the biggest disaster. And maybe it was because, in our family, it had always been us. Me and my two boys. Their mother wasn't there. The death was just a formality. I didn't really change that much. My boys were happier than ever after she died. It's really mean of me to think that way but it was the truth. They were traumatised because they were kids. As they grew up, I realised they had a better and healthier
It's been a while since I updated this book. However, I have delayed letting you know that I'm writing a book on Samuel and Chrisanna titled "Dispute Marriage" You'll find it on my goodnovel profile. This book is a bit different from others which don't have a forced marriage trope or any abusive family since you are already familiar with both families.The story revolves around two childhood friends Samuel and Chrisanna and their sudden marriage after Samuel disappears from Chrisanna's life for eight years. The book deals with heavy mental issues and a dark past. Slow burn. Please give that book a try and let me know if you like it. And I would like to know if you would want a short portion of John and Georgia's story or a direct epilogue to close the book.
Tiffany Emery runs to Sebastian. "Da—dy"And he immediately drives his eyes down and takes her in his arms. They both look at me lovingly. Now, I don't feel bad about pushing the wedding. This feeling would not be the same if we got married before Emery came. Ryan and Kevin walk beside me to the aisle. I wanted them to do this honour because if there's anyone in this world I still love more than Sebastian and Emery, My eyes become teary as I walk to them. Sebastian spreads his arm at me and I immediately dig into his chest.He leans closer to my ear."My beautiful bride"I smile against his chest and look up. He takes my hand and leads me to the centre. I take a look at every one. John, Mr Ryder, Gary, Myra, Christian, Ivanna and the recent teenager Chrisanna. Everything feels so complete and beautiful. Mr Ryder comes and takes Emery from Sebastian even though she doesn't wanna go. With the pastor's words, Sebastian and I looked into each other's eyes deeply. "I, Sebastian Ry
TiffanyI can't figure out how to react and what it's all about because I don't wanna assume anything unreasonable. He's on his knees with a damn ring.It means— God! I can't— comprehend it. My eyes flutter open at his handsome face. No words come out of my mouth. I'm at a loss of words."I know you're shocked! And I'm sorry if I scared you with this sudden—" he doesn't complete, yet keeps his eyes straight into mine. "But I couldn't keep this longer inside me, Tiffany. I had known a long time ago that I needed you in my life. Forever! And I'm not scared to ask you that—"With that pause, my heartbeat stops and my entire body shivers when I wait for him to complete."Will you marry me?" I feel goosebumps littering all over me with those words. Did he really ask me for marriage? It takes me a while to process. His eyes are full of fear and hope and I'm left in shock. Never in my wildest dreams, I had imagined he would propose to me. I hear some people around cheering up and root
TiffanyTime indeed flies like air and it happened in my case in a better way. In the best way, actually. I started my job in the daycare centre with all the lovely kids around which made my life less monotonous after Ryan and Kevin left. They are doing good in their new school and John has also settled into his new office over there. I and Sebastian balanced our life beautifully, supporting each other. As days and weeks passed, our love grew stronger. Among everything, I was happy with the fact that I have my identity now. A good identity. My salary doubled in just three months after joining for my good service and the way all the kids related to me. In a year, I was promoted to manager of the daycare centre, life couldn't be any less beautiful. It's been two years, I and Sebastian are together and we are living our best life. We hardly argued and most of the time it was just silly. He loves to tease me and I go along with it. Sebastian has become the most demanding lawyer in the
TiffanyWe spent the last two days painting the house and I can't describe how beautiful it came out. We did some changes like replacing the furniture and donating some. If everything goes well, I'll be here in less than three days.John has finished all the preparations in Hong Kong and he's leaving the day after we decided to move in. It all happened so fast but I'm glad that John is recovering. It's been eight months since the tragedy and I know it's gonna take years for him to overcome this. I'm happy for him but I would be happier if there was any chance that he finds someone to love him as much as all of us found a person to love.It sucks and I hate the fact that all his life he never found someone like that.I and Sebastian carry the portrayal I had in my room for years. It's a huge one and Sebastian suggested we should place it in the living room because it's beautiful. It's a painting I got from an art summit years back, featuring a mother and her small daughter, surviving
Sebastian"Really, Sebastian? I have never seen you this excited before", Georgia says as I show her some themes I'm confused with and I end up telling her the whole plan. "Isn't it something to be excited about?" I blurt out. "She's moving in with me. Isn't it amazing? People can't even go past dating and we are really moving in!" I tell her and she smiles wider, sitting in front of my desk."That's true", she says. "I'm just wondering what you would do once you guys announce the marriage!" she laughs but on a serious note, it makes my heart stop for a while.She pauses, looking at me. "Sorry. I should not have said that?"I chuckle. "Nah! Nothing like that. I just spaced out when you talked about marriage""Ah! So, that means you're thinking about it", she leans to the desk. I scratch the back of my head with an awkward smile. "I could marry her the moment I saw her! But hell! I'm not repeating any mistakes from the past. Maybe, I'll wait for a while before proposing to her. And t
Tiffany We stop by the nursery. It's one of the biggest nurseries in the city which I can completely believe by the way it looks. The boys run into the green surrounding and I and Sebastian slowly walk to see the plants. One of the workers accompany us, showing us all the kinds of plants we could use for decor. "I want the real ones", he says as I scan those plants which need no sunlight. They would be perfect for indoors."These are real ones too. These are just indoors", I say, watching his expression change. "But I still don't find the realness in them. You can take these. I'll look for others", he walks away to find his REAL plants as I shake my head at him in disbelief.We load all the plants we have got for the decor and Ryan and Kevin took two small ones to plant in the yard. Even though they won't be staying here, they wish to see it all grown up when they would occasionally visit. After that, we stop by a restaurant to have lunch. Surprisingly, Sebastian didn't suggest h
Tiffany We talked a lot today. I'm glad that I took this whole day out for him because we needed to have this conversation. I have finally decided to move in with him. Nonetheless, it'll come with more challenges and I'm ready for it. This decision will not only make our relationship stronger but also give me a world of my own. I can't wait to finally live my life in my own conditions and happiness. Sebastian asked me if he could help me anyway. But I refused to take any help from him as I did with John. It's my call to explore and look for opportunities which I'll be doing from today. I'm thinking about having a conversation with John again. I want him to change his decision of holding back until I settle down. Because that's impossible. I'll need a lot of time to clean the mess and organise my life and I think I'll surely do it if I have Sebastian.I'm glad that Sebastian understood me and more than that he trusted me enough. I'm scrolling through my phone to research the jobs I t
