Last Updated:
2023-07-30 00:01:16Before Clayton could formulate an answer, Emerald asked him another question.
“Can you give me a reason why I should stop all the sports I love?” Emerald didn’t want to be self - willed.
She totally understood that she’s no longer single and has to listen to what her husband had to say.
Clayton swallowed hard, making his Adam's apple rolled up and down. “Don’t you want to have children?”
He closely watched Emerald’s response.
Emerald body stiffened. It dawned on her that polo, equestrian and F1 are all activities that pregnant women can’t participate in.

With her heartbeat escalating, Emerald felt as though her heart was about to pop out of her chest at any minute.“What happened, babe?”“There was an attack in our branch company in South Africa,” Clayton answered.“Be careful there, did you bring bodyguards with you?

Due to the speed and force used by Red, Emerald was unable to steady herself. Following the twisting of her ankle, a scream tore through the air. At a lightning speed, Justin drew close to Emerald, lifted her from the floor and had her seat on the chair and inspected her legs. With a grim face, he inspected her reddened ankle. Emerald gripped his shoulder as he applied pressure on her ankle. Well aware that Emerald couldn’t tolerate pain, Justin grew anxious as she broke into tears. At this rate, Justin saw the need to take her to the hospital. With one fluid motion he scooped her in his arms. Just after Emerald

Emerald lifted her eyes and held Clayton’s gaze. Justin and her were friends before they went to university. He knew everything about her except her real identity as the only heiress of Giovanni Kingston. With Giovanni’s power and influence it was just easy for him to ask the school not to divulge Emerald’s true identity. Only a few of the school staff knew her real identity. Emerald also used a low profile car so as not to draw attention to her. Though her clothes, bags and shoes and other accessories were high end brands she would usually say that they were just imitations when some of her wealthy classmates inquired how she acquired them. Emerald wasn’t against this kind of arrangement as she wanted to have true friends. Friends who would want her not because of her wealth and prestige. Hence, none of them suspected that she came from a very affluent family. And the only person who befriended her was Justin. “He knew me like the back of his hand, except my real identit

Instead of letting them know of his presence, Clayton hid behind the tent. Emerald let out a humorless chuckle. Justin was pointing out that she hadn’t understood his reason for leaving her. That was making her selfish and unreasonable for not waiting for him and marrying another man. “You were only concerned about what people will think of you. Did you ever think what I would feel? Did you know what I went through after you left me?” Justin was rendered speechless. “My depression worsened and I had suicidal thoughts.” Emerald added when Justin didn’t say a word. Startled by her revelation, Justin’s handsome face paled. His eyes were red as he looked into Emerald’s eyes. “I’m sorry, love. I’m already here and won’t leave anymore,” Justin stretched out his arms to pull Emerald into his embrace but she took two steps backward, avoiding him. “What we had is already in the past and will remain in the past. Clayton is my present and my future, no other man I would want to spend the

Freya, though still groggy from sleep, understood what he said, stirred up and faced Red.Surprise flickered in his eyes for a moment before they came back to their usual frostiness whenever he was looking at Freya.“What a gentleman you are, Mr. Stanford. Willing to sacrifice for me, eh?” She patted his chest and a smirk plastered on her face.“To tell you the truth, I am not weak as you thought. My child and I will live a good life without you. We don’t need your pity.”A marriage founded in sympathy and guilt won’t last a lifetime. It’s a weak foundation for a relationship. It can’t stand the test of time.

Fretting about all the comments against Emerald and the photos that had been posted, Freya looked at Red who was busy working on his MacBook.Feeling the gaze coming from Freya, Red lifted his head and saw Freya’s overwrought mien.“What’s wrong? Are you in pain?” Red put away his MacBook and strode to Freya.Freya said nothing and gave her phone to him. “Look at it. Your cousin seemed to have not read the comments. They are smearing Emerald on the internet.”A scowl appeared on his face when he heard that Emerald was being bullied on the internet.“Their comments are nonsense,” R

“Dad!” Maya pouted while Spencer chuckled. He’s used to the father and daughter’s antics. Clayton ignored Maya’s protest and talked to his granddaughter. “And don’t take your grandma and mother’s love for extreme sports.” Clayton looked at Spencer. “Make sure that your daughter won’t get involved in any extreme sports.” “Yes, dad.” Spencer nodded. He too didn’t want his daughter to take a liking to extreme sports. He would surely have a heart attack. “Are you going to make her life dull? No hobby? Just study and take over a company?” Emerald asked in a teasing tone. “Of course not, just no dangerous sports. There are sports that aren’t life threatening. She can choose from those. I can’t teach her to play golf when she grows up.” “That’s a great idea, dad.” Spencer agreed and added. “Maya and I also planned to enroll her for piano, dance and art lessons.” “Really?” Clayton was excited. Clayton wants diversity in their family. He wanted his grandchildren to have different hobbie

Zoey bit her lips. The feeling she had for Maurice was an elephant in the room that she was unwilling to face. Maurice was in a relationship and Zoey didn’t want to be the third party, destroying a relationship. Ignoring her feelings for the man would eventually kill it. That was the reason she didn’t want to admit to herself that she had fallen for the man. “Do you like me, Zoey?” Maurice’s voice was so gentle that it touched Zoey’s heart. Despite knowing that Maurice was currently free and had no girlfriend, she had no courage to confess. “If you say you don’t like me. I will tell mom and ask her to search for another woman that wants to be with me. I don’t want to force you into this relationship, Zoey. I won’t bother you again. ” Zoey's heart thumped painfully in her chest. Just the thought of losing Maurice to another woman was tearing her heart to pieces. “Do you like me, Zoey?” Maurice repeated his question a while ago. “How about you, Maurice?” Zoey asked with teary eyes.

Zoey bit her lips as her entire body and heart turned cold. “Sir, I’m not making an excuse. My phone and wallet had been stolen.” Zoey’s distressed look moved Emerald’s heart. She can’t just watch at the sideline and do nothing to help her. She couldn’t help but imagine her own daughter. What if her daughter, Maya was the one in this situation? Of course, she wanted someone to step in and intervene to help her daughter out of her predicament. “I’ll foot the bill,” Emerald passed on her black card to the server. Grateful that a good samaritan had stepped in to help her, Zoey stood up and bowed several times and unceasingly said, “Thank you.” She was in a foreign land without her phone and any money. If this kind hearted person didn’t take the initiative to help her, she couldn’t imagine what would have happened to her. She didn’t know if justice prevailed in this nation. “Come with us,” Emerald said in a soft voice. Since she had started helping her, she will follow through a

“Ms Desmond,” the man called out, his voice having an edge of huskiness. Recognizing the man, Zoey nodded and said, “Mr Fuller.” Jonathan Fuller was the president of the company that hosted the event. The event was exceptional and everything went well and beyond what he had expected. Since taking his father’s position, this was the first time that he hosted such a big event. He got curious about who was the event specialist that handled their event so well. His assistant took Zoey to meet Jonathan before the event concluded. Jonathan was smitten by the woman’s beauty and grace. “Get in the car. I’ll drive you home.” Confident that Jonathan wasn’t a pervert, Zoey didn’t refuse and hopped into the car. It was almost one in the morning when they arrived at Zoey’s apartment building. Zoey could not unbuckle her seat belt and Jonathan volunteered to help her. Not far from them, Maurice saw everything. From his vantage point it seemed that the man and woman in the sports car were

Zoey was snapped back from her own world and remembered that she wasn’t alone in the living room. She sat on the couch still hugging, Chubby the giant chubby penguin. Having no idea what to talk to, Zoey said nothing. Exhausted from the long journey, Zoey could not stop her eyes from closing when she was hugging the plushy. Maurice observed the sleeping woman, her eyebrows were drawn to a frown and her mouth slightly parted. But it didn’t lessen her beauty to a tiniest bit. “Here you go,” Trina served the hot chocolate drink. One for Maurice and one for Zoey. Trina smiled sheepishly at Maurice. “Zoey, sweetie.” Trina tried to wake Zoey by pulling the plushy away from her. “Mom, no, don’t take away Chubby from me. I missed him so much, I haven’t hugged him for two weeks,” Zoey murmured while she hugged Chubby tighter. Something flashed across Maurice's eyes while listening to Zoey. He took a sip on the hot chocolate while his eyes never left the woman who was mumbling in

Zoey felt Maurice’s body turned rigid. She bit her lips and wished that Maurice would go along with her. The man beside her looked down on her with an unreadable expression, and Zoey gave him a pleading eyes to act along with her. Zoey’s heart thumped strongly, banging her ribcage as she waited for Maurice. “Let’s go,” Maurice said indifferently and guided Zoey to his car. He opened the passenger seat and protected Zoey’s head from hitting the car frame. It was quite a romantic gesture that crushed Nick’s sliver of hope. Inside the car, Zoey fiddled the strap of her handbag, guiltily. “I’m sorry for using you Mr Strong. Please tell me how do I compensate you?” Zoey said but Maurice remained silent. Zoey felt goosebumps covered her entire body at the eerie silence that enveloped the car. “You can compensate me by making a plan for a marriage proposal.” Maverick spoke after an undetermined time of silence. “You have a girlfriend?” Zoey exclaimed in shock and added, quickly. “

Maurice pressed his lips into a thin line, waiting for Zoey to react and decline Tracy’s proposal. Caught unawares, Zoey's mind went haywire and she couldn’t form a word to refuse the idea. She swallowed several times to moisten her dry throat. Seeing that she wasn’t refusing the idea, Maurice frowned and said. “Her apartment is in the opposite direction to the manor. I have to go to bed early.” At this time, Zoey already recovered from her surprise, nodded in agreement and said, “It’s still early, taking a cab isn’t dangerous and I have learned some self - defense. So you don’t have to worry about me.” “Ten o’ clock is already late. Maurice, do me a favor. Drive Zoey to her apartment.” Theo spoke this time, he knew that Maurice would not refuse him. Maurice's hand that was in his pocket balled into a fist. “Please, don’t worry about me. I’m used to taking cabs.” Zoey was telling the truth. Before she managed to buy a second hand car, Zoey used to take cabs even in the dead

“Congratulations, Mr Strong and Ms Wagner,” Zoey said when she was near them. Maverick and Esther, shook hands with Zoey. On the other hand, Maurice who was near them took his phone and pretended to check on his messages.“You did a great job, Ms Desmond,” Maverick gave her two thumbs up. “Thanks Mr Strong but I only managed to come up with that idea because of the information you gave to me about Ms Wagner.” Zoey didn’t want to take all the credits. With clients' willingness to give her an input she was able to come up with such ideas. “By the way, Ms Desmond, I will introduce you to my siblings and in - laws, who knows, perhaps they will be your clients soon. That man wearing a black suit with gold tie is Theo, my eldest brother and his wife, Tracy. Next to her is my sister, Maya. Well we are triplets, and Maurice is my identical twin. Next to Maya is her husband, Spencer. And also the one seated on Maurice’s left side is Esther's best friend, Betty with her boyfriend, Rex.” Zoe

Although she had made a decision to let her know that she saw Maverick leaving the hotel with a beautiful woman, she found it hard to begin. “What? Cat got your tongue?” Esther teased her to alleviate the tense atmosphere. Betty swallowed before opening her mouth to speak but the phone atop her desk rang, stopping her from disclosing what she saw. She picked up the handset. “Come to my office,” Betty heard the familiar voice and her body went straight like a ramrod. “Okay sir,” Betty answered and she looked at Esther while putting down the handset. “I’ll talk to you later, the boss wants me to report to his office.” “Okay,” Esther sighed. Meanwhile in his office, Maverick was tapping his fingers on his table as he waited for Betty. “Come in,” he said as the first knock. “Betty, I need your help,” Maverick said as soon as he saw Betty enter the office. Betty couldn't help but frown, she couldn’t forget that he and a woman got into the same car, leaving the hotel. B
