Thank you for reading
Emily “We are in trouble. Dad is here and he’s looking for you.” A text reads and it’s from another UNKNOWN number. Didn’t I block Liam? My heart panics as I turn to the nurse who was in charge. "Where is my patient?” She looks at me slightly confused because it seems she thinks I’m the one who authorized his discharge, “Maggie the man just had surgery, you’re on duty and I didn’t give you any auth-” “I did. He asked me to.” William’s voice speaks from behind me and I have to breathe in several times to calm myself down before turning to him. He is wearing his usual white coat and his brown curls are perfectly placed but now when I look at him, I’d rather be anywhere else. He's a running red flag that our parents told us to report to the police. “So if a patient asks you to kill them will you do it, doctor? Because in my understanding, Mr Lockhart might suffer from Hematoma and right now if anything happens to him, you’ll have killed him!” I practically yell from frustration.
"I... I was just lost in thought," I stammer, avoiding eye contact with him. He pulls me closer, his lips grazing my ear, "Dirty thoughts, Emily? I like that." I push him away from me. Trying to ignore the heat rising to my cheeks. We step into the luxurious penthouse and the atmosphere changes. It's both familiar and foreign at the same time. "Where is your father?" I ask, trying to change the subject and how flushed I am. At what point did I even start having such thoughts? "He went out for air but he will be back soon," he replies, leading me to the spacious living room with a breathtaking view of the city. As we sit down, he gestures for me to start talking. I take a deep breath, trying to push aside the distracting thoughts and emotions. I should hate this man. But it seems his mission is succeeding from the way that my heart is beating so fast. Maybe it’s gratitude that my heart has mistaken for feelings? "We have a problem, your father's actions are putting my career at
Liam My cock hardens just at the thought of having been so close to Emily yesterday. I’ve longed to be by her side for so long and having seen her have wild thoughts as she stared at me did things to me. It’s been two days and I still haven’t recovered from it. “What will you do about Victoria?” Jake asks me, pulling me out of my thoughts and I massage the bridge of my nose as I think through. I will not let any of them get away with it but I need to know who she is working with and to do that, I need to be smart about it. “For now, keep an eye on her. We will start from the outside. They will be pressured once I strip off their armor. Emily looked scared the other day after receiving some sort of message. Look into it and report back to me.” “Yes sir!” “That doctor, the one who works with Emily. Look into him too.” I add I thought the man was just obsessed with Emily when; I laid eyes on him but after what she told me yesterday, it has raised even more concern for me because i
Emily “I think you've already crossed the line!” Nina looks at me as she sips her wine and I groan in frustration. “I don’t know what came over me!” “Well, you bit your husband while he kissed you and later, he cornered you about the kids?” She repeats after me as if trying to make sense out of it but is falling to. The kids are asleep and it’s been two days since my encounter with Liam. I don’t know how he found out my kids were his especially looking at how big New York is. “I’m losing my mind here Nina. I agreed to move in with him and now I told him I’d think about it if I’d allow him to meet them!” “So you practically admitted they’re his kids?” She eyes me and I groan even more at how ridiculous everything sounds especially when you say it out loud. I nod my head and she shakes her head dramatically, “I wonder what else he can make you do once he fucks you if he can bend you like this with just a kiss!” “That’s not all,” I add and she dramatically holds her chest. I put
Liam I chuckle as I see Emily’s face turn pale after hearing that our kids hacked her. Our kids! The thought of it makes my heart warm and seeing how intelligent they are, I bet they will be ready to work for this company sooner or later. I knew I didn’t need any test to know they were mine but just to be sure, while she went home to check on Dad I went and took them from school during break and discreetly asked my doctor to do a DNA test. When the results came out, I was over the moon and forgot to ask them to keep a secret and now seeing how they call me “Dad”, I’d rather it stays this way. When I returned home, she was about to leave and I conered her to tell me the truth and when I threatened to do a DNA test, she wasn’t moved because she thought I didn’t know their new school until I mentioned the name and she went pale. I knew most of her fear was from the thought that I would take them away. I’d never do that, I’ll just make sure we all live as one big happy family. I kn
Emily My heart races as the nurse informs me that my kids are waiting for me at the hospital's reception. Thoughts swirl in my mind, wondering how they found out where I work. Hastily, I make my way down. My breath increases with each step I take as different scenarios hit my mind and what could have possibly happened for them to come here. When I reach the reception area, relief washes over me as I see Kayden and Hayden, their faces lighting up as they spot me. "Mummy over here!" they exclaim in unison, rushing into my arms. I kneel down to their height, a mix of emotions coursing through me. "What are you two doing here? How did you find me?" I ask, trying to keep my tone gentle when I’m actually about to lose my mind. Hayden looks at Kayden, they exchange looks before shrugging casually as though it’s the easiest thing to do. “Remember we placed a GPS on your phone? School finished early so we took a cab here to surprise you.” As much as I’m highly impressed, I’m very upset a
Emily “What?” He asks me confusion laced in his voice. “The day I was leaving, I called you Liam. Victoria picked up and told me you were tired after a wild night. So I’ll ask again, did you cheat on me?” I ask with my heart beating so fast I feel like it will pop out of my throat. “Walk with me.” He says as he stretches out his hand but I don’t take it. I walk ahead of him. “This direction baby.” He says and my cheeks flush from the realization that I just went the wrong direction. I meet his gaze as we enter the elevator and after a long pause of silence, it opens, and in front of me is the rooftop overlooking the city. “Wow,” I whisper more to myself than to him. “Come.” His deep voice makes me follow where his pointing and without knowing why I’m so cooperative lately, I take a sit next to him. “After that night when we had sex, I realized I had real feelings for you but I wasn’t so sure if they were really there or it was because I found out why you married me and I felt l
Emily The next day…… A call from the hospital director came unexpectedly, we’ve not met eye to eye since he visited my office, and knowing how these systems work, Dr. Rodriguez probably shared our last unpleasant conversation and now I don’t know what they have in mind. “Good morning my angels can I talk to you about something important?” I ask and they exchange looks before turning back to me. “Yes, Mummy. What is it?” Kayden asks as he takes a sit pulling his brother to sit next to him. “Well, I wanted to hear what you guys think about us moving in with Liam.” I begin. Knowing the load of questions that is about to hit me will be difficult to ignore. I have been avoiding addressing this for a month now and even though they kept calling him “Daddy,” I never acknowledged it but now I feel like I should clear their minds. I’m still deciding and trying to see where I can place Liam’s confession but right now, I’m scared. I don’t think I can handle being broken like I was ever
