Emma Parker's POV
I refute what Joseph Guezz said about asking about my children. How could he think of that? he won't let Joseph Guezz know where my children are. I can still support my child without him. The proof is, that at the age of three years, they can develop well without any shortcomings at all. They live very well thanks to my hard work for four years. For that, they don't need a father. Let me take care of my four children. No matter how busy you are, two roles in one person. She can be a mother and even a father. It doesn't matter. My children don't want to leave my arms, they still look at life with me. Maybe what I will do is hide my child's whereabouts from the public. I will still look after my children "Then how much money did you make in one night?" I asked in a short tone. Joseph Guezz looked very relaxed, he played with the edge of the glass slowly with his index finger. Since then he has been teasing me with that little treat. "Five thousand dollars," he said, looking at me. Her lips smiled so sweetly. Joseph Guezz's lips are indeed so charming that I was lulled by them. However, I am no longer in love with this pimp. "If you order from me tonight, I'll give you a discount, how about it?" He said in a teasing tone. Success made my eyes almost fall out. Joseph Guezz annoys me. “What words did you say? I'm leaving, my eyes hurt, and I want to sleep. Excuse me." After that, I left in a hurry. My only alibi was that I wanted to sleep. I just wanted to avoid Joseph Guezz. That man was no longer in his right mind with his words. I went back to Logan Carter's house. That was one o'clock at night but I haven't been able to fall asleep at all. Occasionally I can see my children are asleep. I curl up in the living room just to watch a movie. It doesn't take long for Logan Carter to accompany me alone in the living room. Logan came over to me, “How was the party? Did you find anything interesting at the party?” Maybe my mind couldn't take it anymore, I expressed what was in my brain. “I found the pimp I slept with four years ago, he had a very, very bad accident. However, now he has just come back to life. I will take the children as far away from here as I can so that they are not found. I leave this place tomorrow. I don't want other people to know where my children are. Especially pimps. I really can't hide my fear at all.” I said hastily. The reason is I'm afraid that his child will be taken by Joseph Guezz. What if that happens? I would be devastated by it. My only hope for life is my four children. Logan Carter asked. “Why don't you consider it, to raise them with their father, Emma Parker? It wouldn't be better if they had a father, they would be happy. They asked their father until this afternoon they felt disappointed because his face was similar to mine. Do you not love him to the point of keeping his father away from them?” Logan Carter asked about this in such detail that I rubbed my face roughly. I looked very worried and scared showing on my face. I explained, "I don't want my children's father to work as a pimp and only rely on rich women. I don't want a man like that. Selling his body for money. And that money will be eaten by my children. Because, he said, there is no other job that produces anything other than selling his body. He doesn't want to change himself or fix anything bad in his past. He might even already know about having children. He doesn’t mind change.” Logan Carter's POV I nodded. I couldn't possibly tell her that I was a pimp who was sleeping with her at that time. Let's say I'm attracted to her but I don't like her. That's evil. But that's how I am. I appreciate it, of course, I'm just curious about Emma Parker. Tonight I tried to get close to Emma Parker. Instead of spending time with Emma Parker, he could fall asleep next to her. I suffer from severe insomnia, suffering for years because of Emma Parker. Two hours later I fell asleep soundly. Isn't that very strange? Actually, what did that woman do to make me fall asleep? What did that woman do? It was three o'clock in the morning, I woke up from my sleep and was shocked. The reason is, I have been able to fall asleep alone for the last four years. Seeing me wake up from my sleep. Now I give Emma Parker permission to go upstairs to sleep too. In the morning she had to get ready to go home. This is the surprise that Scarlett Carter gave her. The luxury that made her queen for a while. This surprise ended with anxiety over Joseph Guezz's presence and asking how his children were doing. Anything against Emma would not give her children to that pimp. Emma wouldn't just give up on this man. Even she doesn't want to change from her past? Emma Parker does not accept me as the father of these children. It was enough for them to know that their father was gone. That was enough for them. Not with Joseph Guezz's real identity. Because of my sense of sleep, I plan to use the identity of Joseph Guezz to follow Emma Parker to the human city in a few months. Regarding the management of young wolves and so on, what else do I do? Of course, I'll give all those responsibilities to Cordelia Jenner while I'm away. I also have to be close to my four children first. They are my descendants, they have what I have of course. How could I just leave it like that? Meanwhile, Emma Parker doesn't know what class a pimp is? Only I know everything. For that reason, I will go as the identity of Joseph Guezz in the human city. I went to take care of something. Because the next morning Emma Parker will be leaving. For this reason, my party will also prepare everything in advance. Even my disguise Every day I will wear a mask that makes people see it as a spectacle. I have to find a way to cover half my face. If it's like wearing a mask that attracts too much attention, what should be done to make the disguise successful? For that reason, this time I will find a way before leaving this morning.Emma's POV I dressed neatly when I was about to go to work, and then I left the house and walked away while praying that my work would run smoothly and that there would be no problems. I was walking happily without realizing that I ran into James Parker who was very arrogant and liked to show off what he had. At the same time, James Parker and I looked at each other, making me immediately want to turn around and look for another way, but the result? James Parker actually said something that annoyed me. "You want to go to work, right?" James Parker's voice started to be heard, causing me, who previously didn't want to pay attention to James Parker, to end up arguing with the man. I don't like having to argue with James Parker at all because I'd rather go to work than have to argue with that guy especially since it's not that important. "Can't you see for yourself whether I'm going to work? You should have known that, instead of having me argue like this.
Emma's POV I nodded my head again, a sign that I understood what Scarlett was saying. We finally went back to work, but Scarlett said goodbye for a moment to take out last night's trash that she forgot to throw out. I nodded my head and let Scarlett take out the trash. However, as I followed Scarlett's body which was getting further away, I thought I saw a man standing near Scarlett and chatting with the man, but his face was very familiar even though the man was wearing a mask and a thick jacket. I frowned, I thought the man was Scarlett's boyfriend because so far it seemed as if Scarlett had never had an intimate conversation with a man. In my heart, I smiled and immediately continued my work without thinking too much, especially as I felt that this man was Scarlett's business and I should not interfere in their affairs. Logan's POV I saw him come face-to-face with James Parker. There isn't the slightest feeling that makes me want to help him or let him
Logan's POV "Just wait, then you'll know what time we close, don't ask too many questions." Scarlett looked at me with a cynical look, I could only exhale lazily because that woman made me have to wait. "But waiting for her is like me waiting for something uncertain!" I got annoyed but Scarlett didn't care what I said, of course I got annoyed. I immediately left the place with mixed feelings, between annoyed and tired of waiting for that woman. From a distance, I could see Emma getting ready to go home. I wanted to approach that woman but it was difficult for me to do. Yes, it's not as easy as turning the palm of your hand, I can't possibly just approach her. I looked closer and behind me, there was Scarlett who seemed to be giving a code that I shouldn't get too close to Emma and could only see her from a distance. I complied, I didn't demand more than what was given at all. After walking for a while, I couldn't think about what to do after t
Logan's POV “Yes, yes, yes, it's up to you. Have fun waiting." After saying that Scarlett just walked away leaving me alone again. Well, at least it's better to be alone! Instead of being with Scarlett, the woman scolded me. I took shelter here for quite a long time, until the night before. I could see Emma like she was done working. I could see the tired look clearly on the woman's face. I followed Emma's steps carefully. Of course, I've been wearing my mask since earlier. I'm also not ready if Emma finds out the real facts. I could see the woman entering a mini market, I waited a few minutes. After that, he came out carrying a black plastic bag. There I could see biscuits. Ah, that's a souvenir for my children? I followed Emma, but I also kept quite a distance, I didn't want Emma to get suspicious. Emma also looked back several times, it seemed she realized that I was following her. People looked strangely at me, bu
Emma's POV “Ah, never mind. Forget it. I wanted to find something for you, that’s why I’m here,” Joseph asked, looking at me seriously.“What exactly are you talking about?”“About my offer at the party, the discount is still valid for you, how about it? Do you want to hire me?” he asked innocently again.Crazy! That guy is really crazy!“No! How many times have I told you that I’m not interested in things like that at all? Everything I went through was just an accident!” I explained.“Yeah, I know. But there’s nothing wrong with it if you want, Ah, can I stay at your house for a few days?” I widened my eyes when I heard his words.Is that guy sane? We just met, I didn’t let him in, and what time? Does he want to stay for a while? Seriously! Is he sane? “We’re just helping each other, isn’t that beneficial to us?” he continued while looking at me seriously.“You’d better get out of here than say something unreasonable like this!” I said in annoyance.“Are you kicking me out?” he
James’s POV Now I am already neat with my shirt. Today is indeed a holiday, and I also planned to go on a date with Thea. What's wrong with me looking for a new atmosphere? I've been looking at my cell phone that rang several times, yes, it was Thea. I just glanced briefly, then returned to focus on the activity of buttoning my shirt. Indeed, Thea has been sending a lot of messages and calling since earlier. I feel very embarrassed because the woman doesn't seem to give me time to enjoy my own time. Initially, Thea was the one who invited me first, but the one who would come to my house was the woman, not me who approached the woman. This is so ridiculous! But the reality is like that, Thea is the one who will approach me at home. After everything is done, I immediately grab the flat object containing a thousand people. I immediately pick up my ringing phone. "Gosh, where have you been, me?" I've been calling you since earlier, but why didn't you reply?" Thea asked over th
James's POV "James, how about we have lunch? I'm really hungry, do you want to find food here? Or at a restaurant?" Thea asked, trying to change the subject."How about we go to the mall first, is there anything you want to buy? I'll pay, how about it?" Thea, who heard it, immediately nodded enthusiastically.Currently, Thea and I are in a shopping center. Thea is, of course, very happy about this.How come? Walking with a handsome and established man, isn't that a sign of good luck for her?Thea certainly seems to have found a diamond when she is close to me. I am loyal to Thea. Just like this, I have become a noble, what if Thea can become my wife? Isn't it certain that Thea's life will be happy for seven generations? How can that be? Since I had offered Thea expensive goods, of course, Thea didn't want to waste the golden opportunity. "It's not a loss for me to ask me out," the woman muttered hap
James’ POV I looked at Thea with a forced smile. “Sure, I can do that,” I said, trying to hide the nervousness that suddenly crept in. But, deep down, I was hesitant. I felt like I wanted to keep this relationship the way it was, without having to get involved in anything more serious. I enjoyed spending time with her—dinner, movies, late-night talks—but meeting her parents? That felt like a big step I wasn’t ready to take. We continued to wait for our orders, but my mind wandered, trying to find an excuse to avoid Thea’s sudden invitation. But Thea’s expectant gaze kept haunting me. I knew she was serious about this, and I didn’t want to disappoint her. After what felt like hours, our food finally arrived. The food looked delicious, as expected. We started eating, and Thea looked so happy, telling me how delicious the food was and how happy she was to be spending time with me. I tried to enjoy the food and the supposedly pleasant atmosphere, but my mind kept returning to her ear
Emma's POV The journey home felt lighter with their cheerful voices along the way. They kept talking about the animals they wanted to see, the games they wanted to play, and the delicious food they imagined they could try at the tourist attractions. Although tired, I felt grateful to have four children who always made me smile in the midst of all the chaos of life. And I knew that no matter what happened in the future, as long as I had them, everything would be okay. When I arrived home, I was immediately greeted with laughter and screams of joy from my children. They ran around the room holding toys they brought home from daycare. Seeing them excited made my heart flutter. I immediately changed into more casual clothes, distracting myself from the tiring day. After changing, I headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Even though I was tired, nothing was more satisfying to me than cooking for my children. They all loved pasta, so I decided to make
Emma's POV The question hit me hard. Yes, I was thinking about Joseph, the man who always made me feel safe, but I also knew that behind every lie I made to protect my feelings, there was a huge void that no one could fill. Not even Logan. But I couldn't just admit it. I swallowed, hardening my heart. "Yes, you're right, President Logan," I said firmly. "I like another man. And that's why I don't want you to keep bothering me. So, please, stop all this. Stop making me feel special because I don't want it." My words sounded firm, but inside, everything felt like a mess. Logan was silent, saying nothing. His gaze changed—disappointed, hurt, and maybe a little angry. But I knew that what I was doing was the only way to stop this madness. Logan shouldn't get too close to me. I wasn't the one for him. Logan finally nodded, though his eyes still flashed with disbelief. "If that's what you want, Emma," he said, his voice colder than before. "I'll stop."
Logan’s POVI was silent, feeling the weight of this burden on my shoulders. What if Scarlett was right? What if I was going to lose Emma, not because of my past, but because of the lie I’d been hiding?“But what if she can’t forgive me?” I asked, almost in despair.Scarlett smiled thinly. “If she loves you, she’ll understand. But you have to give her the chance to make that decision. You can’t live in fear all the time.”I knew Scarlett was right. I couldn’t live in the shadow of this lie. If I truly loved Emma, I had to give her the truth, no matter how hard it was.Scarlett stared at me for a moment, then took a deep breath. “Logan, you know what you have to do. Don’t waste this chance.”I nodded slowly, feeling my resolve begin to strengthen. Maybe it was time for me to stop hiding. Maybe it was time for me to face the truth, no matter the consequences.Scarlett stood up and straightened her clothes before walkin
Logan's POV "We will be restructuring the team soon, and starting today, Scarlett will be appointed general manager to replace Matthew." The room fell silent. Everyone looked shocked. Emma's eyes widened, and Scarlett looked like she couldn't believe what I had just said. "President Logan..." Scarlett finally said in a shaky voice, clearly uncomfortable with the situation. "Is... this final?" I didn't budge. "Yes. It's final." "But why me?" Scarlett asked again, her eyes staring at me with a confused look as if she didn't want to believe what she had just heard. "And why now? There was no warning, no prior discussion." "Scarlett," I said in a colder tone. "You know this company needs a leader who can make quick decisions. You're the right person for that." She was still looking at me with doubt, and out of the corner of my eye, I could see Emma looking confused and a little anxious t
Emma's POVI opened my office door with shaking hands, trying to calm myself after what happened earlier. My head was still full of all the commotion that happened, but I couldn't let it bother me any longer. As I stepped into the room, my gaze fell on my desk, which was usually my sanctuary, but this time it felt like a burden. I sat down on the chair, took a deep breath, and tried to think clearly, but my head was filled with voices colliding with each other.A moment later, my office door opened slowly, and Scarlett walked in. Her expression immediately changed when she saw my face which must have looked confused."Emma, what happened outside?" Scarlett asked, her eyes full of worry. "I heard the commotion, and everyone was talking about you."I took a deep breath, feeling the weight on my chest getting heavier as I had to tell this again. "Thea came… and she slapped me in front of everyone," I said, still not believing that it really happene
Emma's POVWhen Logan pulled my hand, I could only stare for a few seconds. The atmosphere around me felt so foreign, even though I had just arrived at the office a few minutes ago. And suddenly, Thea came attacking me like a storm. Then Logan appeared, like a hero protecting the victim, but I was not a victim, and I didn't want him to protect me like this. Especially with the way he handled the situation earlier, telling Thea to leave and then canceling the business cooperation. It was too much.I pulled my hand from his grip, and the feelings that were boiling in my chest immediately exploded."President Logan, what are you doing?" I asked in a firm tone, trying to calm myself even though my blood was still boiling. My eyes looked directly into his calm eyes. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at the head office?"Logan was surprised to see my attitude. He frowned, then said calmly, "I was going to continue the problem here, but then I saw Thea
Thea’s POV"He... he slapped me, Logan," I said, my voice shaking. "I don't know what I did to make her mad." My lie slipped out of my mouth, and I saw Logan's gaze change. But before he could react, a doctor came in with water and wet towels, trying to tend to me. Meanwhile, Emma seemed rooted to the spot, not knowing what to say. Maybe she knew that no matter what happened next, everyone here already saw her as the bad guy. I had won, at least for now. I looked up at Logan's face, hoping he would show more sympathy. But Logan's expression was not what I expected. Instead, there was something different in his eyes, a coldness I had never seen before. When he finally spoke, his voice was firm, and surprisingly, it was not worry that came out of it, but cynicism. "Thea, you don't have to pretend anymore," he said flatly, releasing his grip on my arm roughly, causing my body to fall back slightly. I was shocked. What was this?
Thea's POVI swaggered into the lobby of the *City of Men* branch, my high heels clicking loudly on the marble floor, drawing the attention of several employees. Let them stare, I wanted everyone to know that I wasn't playing around. Straightening my back and lifting my chin, I searched for the person who had made me lose my mind."Emma!" I shouted loudly, my voice echoing throughout the room.Several people stopped talking and stared at me. I didn't care. My anger was already at its peak, and I wasn't going to let that woman get away this time. Where was she? Where was the woman who tried to ruin my life?Just then, the elevator doors opened, and there she stood. Emma. With her calm appearance, she seemed unfazed by my arrival, but that only made my anger worse. How could she be so calm after trying to take Logan away from me? Our eyes met, and I could see the shock on her face.Without thinking, I walked closer, each step strengthening
Cordelia’s POVI watched from a distance, watching Thea’s every move quietly as she exited Logan’s office. Her aura of frustration was palpable, and it caught my attention. In fact, I had been observing Logan and his surroundings for some time now, waiting for the right moment. Thea was the perfect tool for my plan. When she walked out of Logan’s office with a quick stride, I knew the time had come. With swift steps, I approached her before she could reach the elevator. My steps were quick, and without hesitation, I blocked her path. Her eyes narrowed at me, unaware of who I was or what I was about to do. I smiled, tilted my head slightly, and stared deeply into her eyes. “Who are you…?” she asked, her voice filled with disbelief and confusion. I didn’t need to answer her question. Instead, I let my eyes change. In an instant, my normal irises turned bright red, a radiance of power radiating with an intensity that made Thea freeze. As she star
