"I know you do" Ethan cut me off before I could say more. "You may not be sure how you feel about me, but I am, I know you love me too Emily," Ethan said so confidently. How could he be so sure? "It doesn't matter," I yelled feeling frustrated, everything about my feeling for Ethan was wrong."I just lost my mother, I think it's selfish that you are talking to me about love now" I scolded. "I really don't want you around me anymore, please go back to New York" I requested getting out of the car.I waited for him to say something but he didn't making me bang the car door before walking away. "See you tomorrow Emily" he yelled as I walked away. ******Two weeks later. "This is beautiful," Denise said staring at the painting I made of my mother, for the past two weeks I had been painting, it was a form of therapy for me. "You think so," I asked Denise, she and I had built a suddenly strange friendship, and I realized she wasn't that bad."Very beautiful, it looks just like her" De
"What?" My eyes widened as Jake asked me to marry him. The whole room started to chant "Say yes, say yes" and I was confused. Jake and I had not had a normal conversation in months and now he was asking me to marry him. I heard the door open and I turned to find Ethan walking into the restaurant, he leaned by the door folding his arms and watching the show. "Say yes, Say yes" The scream got louder, I looked again at Jake who was still kneeling on the ground. "What are you doing" I whispered lightly and he yelled."is that a yes? did you just say yes" I was confused as hell and I gave him a confused stare. He got up from the ground, raising his fist in the air, "She said yes" he yelled and the crowd began to cheer, I turned to Ethan who just glared at me.Jake reached for my hand to put the ring on it and I pulled my hand away. "Don't be shy babe" he said forcefully pulling my hands and forcing the ring on it. "I have another surprise for you" he announces and the light of the re
Ethan smirked, "You can't?" he asked again, his eyes narrowed. I nodded reluctantly and without saying another word he walked to his car and drove away. As I watched him drive away my mind told me to call him back, but I had no idea what to say, I couldn't do what he wanted me to. After a minute of standing outside, I went back into the restaurant, where chatters filled the air. I stood by the bar, "You okay Emily" Karen the bartender asked and I nodded."Celebrating!" I said forcing down a smile as she put the drink everyone else was having on my table. I picked it up taking a sip before turning to watch the room, Jake was in the middle of the crowd cheering while Gloria was nowhere to be found. "You didn't say yes did you?" My father asked, moving towards me."Of course not," I said staring at my father as he pulled up a seat and sat close to me. "Jake seems a little forceful doesn't he" My father sighed and I nodded. My father looked a little concerned like he had just reali
"Assaulted!" I exclaimed wondering what he meant. "What do you mean by assaulted" "He sexually assaulted her" my father explained and as he spoke I found myself shaking my head, I didn't think Ethan could, I remember the rage in his eyes when William tried to and how much he kept apologizing. "Ethan would never!" Blurted as my father's eyes narrowed at me. "Are you calling your Cousin Mary a liar?" my father asked and I shook my head.Mary was my father's late sister's daughter, she spent a great time of her life with us, she was like a sister to me and one thing I was sure about is that Mary would never lie about such a thing. "No Mary would never' I corrected myself, starting to accept Ethan for the monster he may be, Jennifer's words suddenly rang in my head "Be careful with Ethan' I remembered she said.. .Promise me you will stay away from him," My father requested and I nodded feeling disgusted by Ethan. *********The day of the grand opening: I stood nervously staring at t
"Why" I asked wondering what made her so sure. "Well there is something I need to tell you," she said and I nodded. Before she could say another word, the door to the gallery was pushed opened and a crowd of people flooded in. "Emily" Denise called my attention to the crowd, they were so much it was overwhelming. "What did Ethan do?" I smiled and Jennifer shrugged, the room filled with reporters and influencers all taking pictures of our art. "Emily" Denise called me again, pointing at some reporters who wanted to talk to me. "They would like to interview you," she said and I blushed. "Me?" I grinned pointing at myself, I had hoped the grand opening would be a success just not this much.I had not planned anything to say to reporters, it was unexpected. "Go," Jennifer urged pushing me forward as I agreed to go. "Ms Emily Sanders" they all rushed to talk to me, over seven of them and they were all asking questions at the same time. "Please drop your questions and Emails on the
"I can only give you his schedule for the day" Alfred Ethan's assistant explained to Jennifer and me. "You sure, this wouldn't get you in trouble?" I asked and he shook his head confidently. "Don't worry about it" Alfred smirked, handing me a piece of paper before walking away. "Isn't he dreamy" Jennifer whispered to me as soon as he exited the cafe"I thought you said you were dating someone now" I wondered, just a day ago she told me about a new guy she was seeing and how she felt it was serious."You know me!" She grinned sheepishly.Jennifer was a flirt. "You need to change Jen" I advised and she shrugged.I stared at the piece of paper and Jennifer joined staring at it too. "This would be a perfect time," she said pointing at his dinner with a client at 8 pm."Really?" I asked and she nodded. "I have an amazing dress for you, also have a plan with my cousin Jason," Jennifer said and I nodded cluelessly. "But first you have to text him," she advised, "Be on his mind before h
"I think I am going to give up now," I said putting my food down as the waiter came with a check. "What do you say we go somewhere else" Jason said loudly and I smirked, Jennifer's plan didn't seem to work. I watched him write down a check before we got up. "As we stood up" Jason moved closer to me, leaning in for a kiss."Kiss me" he suggested in front of Ethan. I tried to refuse but he placed his hands on my waist pulling me in for a kiss. Before our lips could meet, I felt strong arms pull me away from Jason. "What do you think you are doing" Ethan's voice deepened as he pulled me to him. "What do you mean" I tried so hard not to laugh, Jennifer's plan worked. "You sent me a text talking about what could have been and now you are kissing another man" his brows furrowed at me.I looked around and all eyes were on us making me slightly uncomfortable. "A message you didn't reply, You are interrupting my date" "What date?" Ethan asked as if he couldn't see Jason beside us."Yo
"Good morning" I heard Ethan's voice say as I quickly got up and put his phone down, he walked in with a tray of food and a wide grin. I glared at him, feeling disgusted, the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree I thought. "Up already" he asked and I nodded, searching for my clothes, I was more offended that he rejected me and was okay s*x chatting with Aunty Meg instead. "Jennifer did say I wasn't your type" I blurted, picking up my clothes which I saw folded by the side of the bed. "What are you talking about?" He wondered and I shook my head, walking out of the room, he quickly put the tray down to follow me. "Did you have a nightmare or something?" He asked pulling my arm. "Yes, a nightmare about how your big Thick hard D**ck f"cks Meghan Coltmen so well" I replied sarcastically and his brows furrowed, he was taken aback by my statement. "What are you talking about," he asked and I shrugged, "maybe check your phone," I said folding my arms and watching. "My phone?"
