Emily woke up with a splitting headache. Because of a certain someone, she didn't get a wink of sleep in the morning.

“You are late?” Kayla said to Emily, immediately she walked into the luxurious boutique.“What do you want from me, Kayla? I am here, aren't I?” Emily sighed, weary of any argument.“So rude and uncouth” Kayla’s long-time friend, Caroline, chimed in.“I am not like you. That your main occupation is shopping. I have things I would rather do than be here.” Emily said, leaning over, she poured herself a glass of champagne.She needed this to numb her senses, if she wanted to stay one more minute in their pr
“hey! Can you get off your phone, today is my birthday ” Julie said with a grimace. Logan raised his hands in surrender. "So, sorry, promise not to look at my phone and focus on you.” “You better or she would skin you alive,” Michael chimed in. “it would have been better if we had thrown a party for you. Are you sure you are okay with just having a meal with us in a fancy restaurant?” Logan asked. “I just want to spend time with my family. That's enough for me” Julie said, the warmth of her smile, echoed in her voice as she reached across the table and held both Logan and Michael's hand. “speaking of family, what about Emily? Isn't she part of the family? I am surprised you didn't bring Emily,” Micheal asked."She is technically not family if what they have is an arrangement.” Julie responded sharply, avoiding all pretense.“It is Julie's birthday. She decides who comes and who doesn't.” logan gave a dismissive shrug of his shoulders. “well if Logan has done some wifely things w

The makeup artist followed suit.Moments later, Emily joined Logan in the car.“looking at you, I gue
“We will expect the table and chairs by Monday next week, but the clean-up crew will be here tomorrow so we can set up the mixer at the back when they are done. Hopefully, we will be done with fixing up this place before the opening.” Her best friend Jennifer said as she strikes things off the to-do-list. Propping her hands on her hips, she rolled her head between her shoulders to ease the tension.“Hmm… good. Don’t forget to send me the invoice.” Emily replied.Jennifer nodded, satisfied with the progress they were making. She looked at Emily and smiled. “I can’t believe your dad relented about you joining the family business and even gave you a shop.”“I know, right!” Emily said with a wide grin as she paced back and forth. Emily couldn’t believe that she was actually doing this. Especially when her father expected her to join the family hotel business after finishing her degree in business management. But she had always harbored a dream of opening her own bakery with Jennifer. Thi
Emily woke up. Glancing around.

He had a hard and handsome face. The nurse turned to leave, but Emily instinctively held the lady's hand.“Don’t worry, you are in good hands,” the lady encouraged her. as she pried her hands from Emily and stepped out.Emily’s face turned white. She tried sitting up and felt pain shooting up her stomach.“Relax, if I wanted to do something vile. I would have done it the night I saved you. But I guess you don’t remember.”“Are you the one that helped me?” Emily said in a shaky voice.He looked at her intently before he answered. “You are lucky I stopped the car. Because I actually thought it was a ploy to rob me. People hardly venture that road at night.”She nodded her head and looked away.

Emily and Noah stepped out of June's hospital room and headed towards the elevator. But he held her back.“What is it?” Emily asked, as she arched her eyebrow.“Are you okay? For real this time. You seem off.” Noah asked.“It’s nothing. I just have a lot on my mind.” Emily said.“Is it a man problem? You know you can always unload it on me,” Noah said, as his mouth twitched in amusement. Emily couldn't help but laugh.
“Is this all the document?” Logan asked James, his personal assistant.“Yes, sir,” James answered with a nod.“How could these discrepancies go unnoticed? I want you to investigate this. The movement of money and what it’s spent on is suspicious.” Logan said, a frown creasing his forehead.The door swiftly opened, banging on the wall with a force. Logan and James both looked towards the source of the disturbance. There Tyler stood, his face twisted in anger.Logan leane
