[ Emma ]"This dress is looking pretty on you, Ma'am. Black is your color." Rachel, who was assisting me to get ready for my date and after trying half dozen dresses, she approved the black bodycon dress with a sweetheart neck and quarter sleeve."You sure?" I glanced at her and again checked my reflection in the mirror. The dress fit me perfectly."Yes, Ma'am, this one is perfect for your dinner date. Mr. Black won't be able to take his eyes off you." She said in a teasing way."My husband can't ever keep his hands and eyes off from me, it really doesn't matter what I wear or how I look, Rachel." I said."That's, true. We have never seen him this happy before. You changed him." She replied while doing my hairs."You shouldn't tie your hairs, they look more prettier when you leave them open, Ma'am. She commented."You have a good knowledge of hair and styling. You should had persue your career in that." I said to her.A sad smile appeared on her face,"I thought about it but sometimes o
[ Emma ]"Emma Black?" The beautiful woman smiled at me like she knew me for years."Do I know you?" I asked her straight. I might had sounded rude but one thing I learnt from Brandon, being too polite or good to others may backfire sometimes."No, you don't." She shook her head slightly, her smile not leaving her plum lips,"But you're the woman who changed Don. He's a complete opposite person than I knew him once. I like this version of him." She talked in riddles."Don? Who is Don?" I frowned and honestly she started getting into my nerves. I wanted to walk away as the earlier encounter with Brandon was taking a toll over me but her magnetic personality caught me there."Oh sorry, I thought he told you-" She started but her rest of the words died down in her throat when we felt the intimidating presence of Brandon.He snaked his arm around my waist and I felt thankul that he came on mean time. She was giving me a creepy vibe."Don, you're here. What a pleasant surprise!" She exclaim
[ Brandon ]Emma's courageous come back on Fiona left me in complete shock and it resulted in every single fibre in my body to drown in guilt. I indeed took her as damsel in distress unintentionally. I actually never tried to see through her.There was a tigress in a fawn's skin. Emma didn't flinch or intimidated by Fiona, the woman who could bring the universe down just by a single glare of her cunning eyes.Emma faced her with no fear and actually warned her to stay out of our lives. Well, I wanted it to be like this way but I had a feeling that the storm was approaching us.A week had passed since our meeting with Fiona at the restaurant. Our life fell back on normal routine and luckily we got a Sunday together to relax at home."Umm..yeah, just like this." She moaned sweetly, her head dropping back while I moved inside her on a very slow pace.Her pregnancy hormones turned her into a wild vixen, nowadays she wanted sex more than I did and currently we were having sex in the music
[ Emma ]I had no words to describe how those three seconds felt when the obsessive woman shot the gun and the sound resonated in the air.My ear begun to ring and vision got blurred for a moment."Emma!"Brandon's ear deafening scream followed breaking the silence and I found myself pressed to his chest."You're okay?" He asked checking my face and body for any possible sign of injury."Yes..yess."I somehow whispered and buried my face more on his chest. I could practically count his heartbeats. I was still shaking in the trauma. If I wasn't hurt, Brandon looked fine then who was the victim?"I was scared to death but thank god you're fine, love." He showered my face with kisses."Ahh, you..you son of a bi..bitch ahh." A painful whimper forced us to follow the voice and I felt bile rising in my throat when I saw blood on the floor and a wounded Fiona shooting daggers at us."Thank God, I walked in at the right moment. This bitch has always gotten into my nerves." Mrs. Black's voice e
[ Brandon ]I groaned in annoyance as the sunrays falling on my face forced me to wake up. I hardly got time to rest during week days and the day was the only day when I could get some sleep and spend time with my family.I patted the space beside me to pull Emma closer to me but much to my dismay, the space was cold and empty. She had already woken up."I hate mornings." I sat straight on my bed and ran my fingers through my messy hairs. I winced when I felt pain on my back."Emma Black, you're totally a vixen." I muttered as they were scratches given by her last night.I glanced at the time, it showed seven fifteen in the morning. I didn't intend to wake up this early but I wasn't going to catch sleep again. So, I dragged my body out of the bed and rushed to bathroom to do my mornings business before I search for my lovely wife and my bundle of joy, our son. Who was quite a naughty boy for his two years old age.I felt my muscles relaxing under the luke warm water. After fifteen min
( Evangeline )My sleep is broken by the loud buzzing of the alarm. Morning has always been earlier than ever for me for last five years. Stretching my arms lethargically, I blinked my drowsy eyes to get rid of the traces of hardly three hours' sleep.Slipping out of my comfortable bed, I went to my room' window. It has been my daily routine to start my day by welcoming the rising sun and it's optimistic golden rays which gives me the hope and new zeal to start fresh with the only love of my life but today isn't my day as grey clouds studded the sky and it may start raining anytime.My only source to live, my heart beats for his smile. He mostly filled the emptiness and dejection of my life after the unfortunate day leaving me on a crossroad of choosing a never travelled way. I left his father for the sake of mine and my unborn son's future.It was a mistake marrying Colton Black but my silly heart chose a wrong path and I ended up falling for a wrong man who reciprocated my feelings
[ Evangeline ] The venue of the charity gala is one of the five star hotel, the centre of public's eye. When we stepped out of the car, a swarm of media surrounded us. Flashes of cameras and a swarm of reporters rounded the car as soon as it stopped at the entrance, the valets and Dominic's bodyguards rushed to protect us from their shitty questions. I immediately clinged to Dominic's side as soon as they angled the camera in my direction. I know what would be their possible questions. "Ignore them." He whispered in my ear and our bodyguards escorted us inside the banquet hall. The lavish decorations in golden and red screamed of the wealth that Ricardo family spent to organize this charity event. I tried my best to stay hidden behind Dominic as I spotted many familiar faces in the party. Luckily, they don't acknowledge my presence yet. "Let's meet the host first." He tucked my hand and dragged us to where the old Mr. Giovanni Ricardo and his wife was talking to a group of guest
[ Evangeline ]"Miss, are you okay?" He asked again with concern. I made no move to turn and contfront the man who destroyed my life including my son's. I used to love him at a point of my life but now, I only feel hatred towards him."Evangeline! Is it you?"I didn't realise when he walked upto me and stood right in front of me, staring at me with shocked expression on his still handsome face. I had no courage to look up at him. I don't know how am I going to control the flood of mixed emotions. "Evangeline?" He repeated again but this time in a higher pitch which sent warning alarm to my brain and in the next moment, I sprang up on my feet."Sorry, Sir, I bothered you for no reason but I am alright." I muster up my leftover confidence and replied him in a plain voice. His face hardened upon my reply."Eve, I am not a stranger for you nor you are to me. So, stop with these fucking formalities." He snappped in a pissed off tone. "But you're a stranger to me, Sir and my name is E

[ Brandon ]It had been three days since we returned from Seattle. We stayed there for two days as Emma too wanted to visit the famous places of the city. It was a memorable trip. We had a lot of fun and for a brief time, I forgot about Fiona and other problems in my life until the present time.I had to tell her. Although, I hadn't seen Fiona or received any threats from the sender, I had to tell her anyways before she got to know this from a third person."May I come in, Boss?"I tore my eyes from the computer screen to my beautiful wife who had the pregnancy glow on her face. She was leaning on the door."Yes, you may, Mrs. Black." I leaned back on my chair.She walked leisurely towards me. Her red skirt and white blouse. She could kill a man by the red shade of her lipstick. I should ban her from applying it because I was having a boner just by looking at her luscious lips and cute bangs.Yes, Elle forced her for a new haircut and I must admit, it gave her a combination of innocen
[ Emma ]"I can't believe whatever doctor said. We're having a baby." She whispered. Tears welled up in our eyes."Yes, we're having a baby, Emma. It's a shock for me as well but I'm feeling on the top of the world. I am going to be a Dad soon and you're a Mom." I kissed her forehead. In that moment, we forgot everything that had been going in our lives."Mr. Black, we'll discharge Mrs. Black by nine in the morning. She has just a cut on her forehead, nothing serious but you must consult a gynecologist for the pregnancy monitoring. Otherwise she is fit to travel."The doctor told us."Thanks, Doctor but please keep it confidential. We'd be very grateful if this news doesn't come out. Our child's life can be on stake. I hope you understand." I requested the doctor.He gave me a reassuring nod,"Don't worry, Mr. Black. We keep our patient's profile confidential. We're leaving for now. A nurse will keep a check on Mrsm Black until she's here." He said and left with the other medical staff.
[ Brandon ]The night turned out to be the dawn of my painful memories surging back on the canvass of my present. The encounter with Fiona after a decade brought back the agony, pain and cut open the deep wounds of the past.I hadn't told Colton about the encounter with Fiona. He was having a great time with his family and it'd be selfish of me to but a brake on his happiness.She was my demon to deal with.The clock stuck nine in the night, I hadn't talked with Emma throughout the day as it was one of the busiest days. We had a brief conversation twenty-four hours ago. I couldn't gather the courage to tell her that my past was back to haunt me in the present.The loud blaring of my phone diverted my attention from my laptop to my phone screen. It was flashing Damien, my head of security and most trusted man whom I sent after Emma and Elle.I wasted no time in swiping the green button and place the phone near my ear."What's it, Damien?" I asked him before he could say a word."Boss,
[ Emma ]"Are you serious? I mean you ripped that man off his reputation in front of everyone even his own subordinates like a total badass?" Elle exclaimed in disbelief when I narrated her everything that happened at the office.It was hell of a dramatic day. When I returned to my hotel room, I was completely exhausted."Yes, he seemed ready to eat me alive if he was given a chance. I felt bad for the others though, they acted upon his orders to save their jobs but they cheated the company. I had to remove them. If they could be bought once, they'd do it again." I sighed and rubbed my aching head."You need rest, Emma. I am observing you since yesterday. You don't look quite good. I think you should visit your doctor for a routine check-up." Elle said with concern."I am fine, Elle. It just the tension and over workload I have been taking for a long time or I say since I was promoted."I tried to assure her but deep down I knew that I wasn't fine."Emma, don't torture yourself. If you
