EMMA

I barely had time to process Lucas’s words before another voice sliced through the tension.

“My wife is overworking again.”

That voice. Deep. Possessive.

Kian.

I turned sharply, my pulse jumping. He stood at the entrance, hands in his pockets, looking every bit the ruthless billionaire he was. But his eyes—they were locked onto Lucas like he was a threat.

Because he was.

Lucas leaned back in his chair, smirking. “I didn’t even know you were married.”

I forced a laugh, my stomach twisting. “I—”

“She is married,” Kian cut in, stepping closer, his presence suffocating.

Lucas’s smile didn’t waver. He rose from his seat, slow and calculated. “Oh, I see.”

The air between them thickened. My heart pounded so loud I was sure they could hear it.

“Why did you come back?” Kian’s voice was cold. Too cold.

Lucas’s eyes gleamed with something unreadable. “Why? Not happy to see me? You’ve been enjoying the ‘only son’ title for years. I thought it was time to come back and claim my place.” He tur

    EMMA“Ye—.” But Kian cut me off.“Yes she did.” He said firmly.Sylvia shot him a look before turning back to me, her sweet expression slipping. “You have no shame do you? Hopping on a man who already has a fiance.” She yelled at me.“Miss Sylvia.” I said but then she didn’t let me finish.“You called me Miss, and I call you Emma, you work for aunt Margaret so know your place, do not let me see you with my fiance anymore, this isn’t a threat Emma, it’s a warning.” Sylvia said.Silence.And then Lucas entered.Magaret didn’t seem happy to see him but she smiled anyway. “Wasn’t expecting you.” Lucas smiled, “Well, Emma was the one who wanted me back home.” He said.“Me?” I asked.“How do you know Emma?” Magaret asked in surprise.“The company K&W is partnering with is my company and because of her I am accepting the offer, no her, no partnership.” Lucas said.“How do you know Emma?” Margaret’s voice was sharp, cutting through the tension like a blade.I felt my stomach drop.Lucas smil

    EMMAI knew that car.The door opened, and a tall man in a sharp suit stepped out.Mark.Kian’s manager.He walked toward me with the same professional, unreadable expression he always had. “Miss Emma, Mr. Kian asked me to bring you over.”I barely hesitated.I didn’t know why.Maybe because deep down, I already knew Kian wouldn’t let me leave that easily.Maybe because I wanted to see him one last time.I signaled Sienna and slid into the car.Mark shut the door behind me.And just like that, I was on my way back to him.—Kian’s penthouse was dark when I stepped inside.The only light came from the city skyline outside the massive floor-to-ceiling windows.He was waiting for me.Standing by the window, hands in his pockets, watching me with that intense gaze that made my heart slam against my ribs.I crossed my arms. “You had me followed.”He didn’t deny it.“You left with him and I couldn’t just let you go.”I let out a breathless, humorless laugh. “So what? I know him.”Kian’s jaw

    EMMAI shut off the engine, took a deep breath, and reached for the flowers. My hands trembled slightly as I stepped out of the car, the cold evening air brushing against my skin.Magaret had called and I answered.At the same moment, another car pulled up beside mine.A sleek black vehicle.I didn’t need to guess who it was.The door opened, and Kian stepped out, his tall frame moving with that effortless confidence that made my chest ache. Mark followed right behind him.His eyes dropped to the bouquet in my hands.Mark was the first to speak.“Miss Emma,” he greeted, his voice respectful as he gave me a small bow.I hesitated before offering him a weak smile.Mark had always been kind to me, the only one who treated me with a semblance of respect.Kian, on the other hand…He didn’t say a word.His gaze flickered over me, lingering just long enough to make my skin prickle, but his face remained unreadable.Then, without acknowledging me further, he strode past, leading the way insid

    EMMAI was rushed to the hospital and given proper treatment and then I slept off.A distant beeping sound filled the room, blending with muffled voices. My body felt heavy, my eyelids too stubborn to lift. Then, I heard footsteps. A door creaked open, people kept coming in and out of the room.Few hours, the doctor walked outside and turned to Kian. “I have to speak with her guardian.”“I am her—.” Kian said but then Sienna rushed over. “Nooo,” Sienna’s voice cut through, sharp and desperate. “I am her guardian and I am sorry I am late.”“You can go in and check her, I will talk to the doctor.” Kian said.Sienna smiled “No, Mr Kian, you have done enough and I truly appreciate it but I think you should leave, you have other things to attend to.” She said respectfully.“Mark.” Kian called, his eyes locked on Sienna. “Cancel all my plans for today including the meetings.” He said firmly.Mark nodded while Sienna couldn’t say anything and then she turned to the doctor.“Doctor, let’s ge

    The word cut through me like a blade.Kian stiffened. His eyes flickered toward me, then back at his mother.Margaret didn’t stop. “I will let Lucas take care of her. She is none of your business anymore.”The words were final.Kian turned abruptly and stormed out, his anger like a storm following him.Sylvia followed quickly after, not even sparing me a glance.The moment they left, the room fell into heavy silence.Sienna exhaled sharply. “That woman…” She shook her head.I swallowed the lump in my throat.Margaret wasn’t done.She stepped closer to the bed, her eyes assessing me like I was an insect under her shoe.“Kian had to take care of Sylvia,” she said smoothly. “She’s feeling sick. Sylvia comes first.”I felt my fingers dig into the sheets, but I stayed silent.Sienna, however, wasn’t having it. “Of course, she does.”Margaret ignored her and reached into a bag. “I brought food. I cooked it myself.”Sienna didn’t hesitate. She grabbed the container and shoved it aside. “She

    EMMAMen in black suits surrounded the room the moment Grandfather Edward stepped inside. His presence was overwhelming—commanding, as if he owned the entire world and didn’t care who knew it.Margaret straightened, smoothing her dress, but there was an undeniable flicker of tension in her eyes.“Grandfather, you didn’t tell me you were coming,” she said, forcing a polite smile.Edward glanced at her, his sharp gaze cutting through her composure like a blade. He didn’t return the smile. Instead, his focus shifted to me.His eyes narrowed slightly. “Who are you?”I swallowed, suddenly aware of how small I felt under his scrutiny. “Emma,” I said softly, forcing a small smile.His gaze didn’t waver. “You’re pretty,” he noted, nodding slightly. “Do you work here? And who do you work for?”I hesitated. Before I could answer, Sylvia stepped in. “Uhmm, Grandfather, she works for Aunt Margaret.”Edward hummed as if considering something. Then, in a tone so casual yet firm, he said, “Now, she

    “Magaret, you heard me the other time. Emma stays.” Grandfather Edward said.Lucas and kian who were watching them, they both got a call and they left leaving Edward and Magaret alone.“Emma is a nobody, she shouldn’t be here. Kian is only going to get distracted with her.” Margaret said.“Margaret, are you handling the E&J Fashion company well? I heard you fired thousands of workers, is that true?” Edward asked.Margaret paused and then she went silent for a while. “You are making the same mistake you made a few years back, Margaret, I cleaned your mess and till date I am still regretting why I did that for you, still no remorse? I heard about everything that happened in the company, treating the workers like slaves like they are nobody.” Edward said.“I am the president of that company, I am a good leader and I should set an example to people, those people I fired are not hardworking.” Margaret said.Edward moved closer to her. “I am letting you stay and repent because of my grands

    EMMA“Call back every employee Margaret fired,” Edward ordered, his voice firm as he sat at the head of the long, polished boardroom table.The HR manager hesitated for only a second before nodding. “Yes, sir.” He stepped out immediately to make the calls.Margaret sat beside Edward, her lips pressed together, her nails digging into her palm. The board members watched in tense silence, waiting for the next bomb to drop.Edward flipped through the financial reports in front of him, his sharp eyes scanning the pages. A frown settled on his face. Then, he set the papers down, exhaling slowly.“Sixty million dollars is missing.” His voice was calm, but the weight of his words sent a ripple of unease through the room.All eyes turned to Margaret.She stiffened. “I—I don’t know anything about that.”Edward turned his head toward her, his expression unreadable. “You don’t?”Margaret swallowed. “There must be a mistake.”Edward leaned back in his chair, tapping his cane lightly against the fl

    EMMA“She—she told me I was nothing,” Sylvia whispered, voice trembling. “That Kian would never love me. That I was just a desperate woman chasing after a man who would always belong to her.”“I said that?” I asked, my eyes filled with regret.“Yes you did.” She shot back at me. “You said hurtful words to Aunt, to me, you even said some lustful words to grandfather.” My stomach twisted. That wasn’t true. But the way she spoke, the way her eyes shimmered with unshed tears, I knew she had done this before—played the victim so well, so convincingly, that it was impossible to tell the truth from lies.I turned to Mrs. Kim, my only hope.Her lips parted.Then closed.Her fingers clenched around the cloth she was holding. Her eyes darted between me and Sylvia. And then—slowly, hesitantly—she lowered her gaze.“I… I didn’t hear everything,” she murmured.A cold weight settled in my chest.Sylvia let out a soft, broken sob. “Obviously Mrs.Kim wouldn’t because she is scared of Emma, I don't k

    EMMAKian pulled up in front of Sienna’s house and didn’t say a word.I opened the door without hesitation, stepping out without looking back. The second I shut it behind me, he drove off. No pause. No hesitation.Good.I walked inside, my body feeling heavier with each step. The scent of something warm and savory filled the air. Sienna stood by the kitchen counter, stirring a pot. She looked up when I entered, her sharp eyes scanning my face.“So, you finally made up your mind?” she asked, setting the spoon down.I nodded, dropping my bag on the couch. “We’ll only be happy if we aren’t together.” My voice was flat. Emotionless.Sienna scoffed. “Yeah? You think lying to yourself is gonna make it hurt less?”I ignored her, pulling out my phone. I had several missed calls from Grandfather Edward. My stomach tightened.Sienna saw my face. “Who is it?”“Grandfather.”She sighed. “You gonna call him back?”I didn’t answer. Instead, I grabbed my car keys and walked out.—The drive back to

    EMMA“No, our plans didn’t fail.” Patricia said as she walked in.“How?” Patricia asked.“While Kian rushed out, the head maid handed her a bottle of water to calm her nerves and the water was already drugged by me.” Patricia said.Sylvia smiled, she looked so happy. “Now, all you have to do ma’am is to bring him in because he is on the couch now and soon enough it will start taking effect and Sylvia needs to act fast by then.” Patricia said.Magaret nodded and then walked outside, slamming the door behind her. Patricia also followed her.She watched from the balcony as Kian sat on the couch in the dimly lit lounge, one hand pressing against his temple. The drug was taking effect. His movements were sluggish, his breathing uneven. He didn’t even realize what was happening.A slow smirk crept onto her face.“Now,” Patricia whispered beside her. “Bring him in.”Sylvia was already fixing her robe, anticipation lighting up her features. She looked like a predator waiting for the perfect

    A knock on the door.“Ma’am, it has been arranged.” Patricia said.“I hope Edward is already asleep.” Margaret asked.Patricia nodded.“Good, Kian would come home for dinner and then you put something in his food,” Magaret said.“The woman in charge of the meals didn’t let me do anything.” Patricia said.“I will cook the food personally for him tonight, I will cook him his favorite food.” Margaret said her voice barely above a whisper.Patricia nodded and turned to leave but Margaret’s voice stopped her.“Patricia.” Magaret called.“Yes, ma’am.” She answered.Margaret took a deep breath. “How did you know about Emma’s allergy, Patricia?”Patricia hesitated. “I’ve known her since childhood.”Margaret’s eyes narrowed. “I need you to explain in details.”Patricia exhaled slowly, as if debating whether to speak. Then, she straightened. “Emma and I grew up together. We were childhood friends.”Sylvia scoffed. “That’s impossible.”Patricia ignored her. “She was born in the Wilson mansion.”
