PARISIAN TRUCE (PART 2)Emily instinctively reached out to hold the railings. James also put his hands out to steady her. She almost fell off the Eiffel Tower. Why would James say something like that when they were over twenty feet from the ground?“I'm sorry.” James said with concern. “I didn't mean to scare you. That wasn't my intention.” Emily put a hand on her chest, trying to steady her breath. She held onto the railings, supporting her while she avoided James's eyes.“No, it's alright.” She said, finally looking at him. “I was just shocked, that's all.” He looked at her. He wanted to know every little about how. How she could light up the room with just one smile. What her favourite colour was. Every little thing. His pulse quickened. He didn't want to jeopardise any progress he had managed to make, but he couldn't control himself any longer. He wanted Emily, and he wanted her now.“You know what?” He started. “Forget abou–” he turned to leave. “Do you mean it?” Emily said

THE NEXT DEALFor the next five hours. Emily, James, and the others prepared for the deal in Tokyo. Emily had a feeling that it would be their hardest yet. And she prayed to all that was holy that it didn't go that way.Leaving Paris made Emily feel a sense of bittersweetness. She knew that they were initially there for business, but the things that happened after securing the deal was what made her emotional about leaving. Her and James's relationship was stronger than ever. They were married, but it felt like they just started something real.Something even better and stronger than the marriage. She knew they'd face different challenges along the line because this wasn't just about business anymore. It was about their future together. The future they were trying to build. Packing their things wasn't an issue. The airport wasn't even as crowded as she expected, so boarding their plane was hassle free. “You're all packed?” James asked. Coming to stand next to her as their luggage

NEW YORK The sound of them landing broke Emily from her light sleep. She turned to see James still working on his phone. He didn't seem to get enough sleep these days. “We're finally back.” Emily said with a smile as he saw the familiar airport through the window. Don't get her wrong.Travelling to six different countries in the span of a month is a dream come true for anybody, but she missed the familiarity of her home. The whole trip had been a roller coaster for Emily. With the deals and everything that happened afterwards. The partnerships were fairly easy to secure, but there was one that made even James lose his footing. You guessed right. The Yakuzi's. Emily was right when she assumed the daughter was the one with the power in the family. She spoke so fiercely and authoritatively. Her parents just stood there like supporting Characters while she went on about what they were offering and receiving. It was really tricky trying to win them over, but Emily stepped with a ne

SHADOWS IN THE OFFICE The tension in the office was palpable. Every employee worked effortlessly and tirelessly on their parts. They didn't speak about what was happening in the office, but they knew what was happening. James walked into the conference room that morning, and even the receptionist looked drained. It got to her, too? He saw Isaiah and the rest sitting in their various seats. Emily sat next to him. A bunch of files were arranged neatly in front of him, despite everything happening in the office, he looked to be the one who was still well put together. James doubted if anything could disorganise him. Since Tokyo, things have been weird between them. And it so happens that this problem started after Isaiah went back to New York. They've been trying to manage most of their clients while him and Emily worked on damage control of the office.“You're here quite early.” James said as he dropped into the chair beside Emily. It had become a habit, staying close to her whenev

COUNTER ATTACK They were still at the office. The atmosphere was tense. James held onto the tablet tightly to the point that his knuckles were turning white. Emily and Isaiah shared worried glances towards him. Cassie stood in front of the entrance to ensure no one interrupted them. Brad cleared his throat, finally breaking the silence. “James.” He paused. Seeing that they weren't the only ones in the room. “Sir, we need to do something about this. It's possible we'd keep on losing partners if we sit back.” He said.James sighed. He facepalmed. “You're right. We can't sit back and watch this time.” This whole thing was making him really stressed. “Brad and Cassie, I want you two to take care of the partnerships. Reassure the clients that we have everything under control.” The two of them nodded their heads and left the office. “Isaiah.” He looked up from the documents he was reading. “I want you on damage control. Make sure that whatever is happening isn't affecting us.” “You got

THE CONFRONTATION The door burst open, and he walked in like he owned the place. The usual fake persona vanishing instantly. Replaced with who he actually was. What he actually was.“What are you doing here?” The man asked , shocked to see the other man. He wasn't supposed to be here. At least not by this time. “Is that any way to talk to your boss?” The other man asked calmly. The weight of his voice sent shivers down the first man's spine. He kept his head low. He dared not to look him in the eye. If he didn't want a fist to his face, that is. “No, sir.” He answered. He tried so hard to make sure his voice didn't waver. His boss hated it. The man took a seat. He stared out the window with a cold expression. His hand on his jaw, he seemed to be thinking. The other man always wondered why his boss was so ruthless, but he dared not to say anything about it. “Is everything set?” The man asked again. He knew what he was referring to. That was probably why he had to come by himself

THE RECKONING The sound of heavy footsteps made him sit up until the owner walked into the office. He was still in his work clothes. He had turned this whole weekly meetup into a routine. The other man was already getting tired of it. Besides, he was scared of his own safety, too. But who was he to go against his boss?For what it's worth, nobody would ever believe they were brothers. As long as his boss was concerned, he was just an object he could use anytime he wanted. “Do I have to do it?” He asked, looking down at his shoes. What he was asking from him was very dangerous. He'd be putting himself in trouble. Everything he'd ever worked for would be on the line. “I wasn't asking.” The other man answered in his deep and smooth voice. Chills went down the man's spine. Why did his brother always do this?This wasn't how brothers treated each other. Even he knows that. But his brother had always put him in the receiving end of bad things. He always made him take responsibility for

THE TURNING POINT In a poorly lit room, Royce sat in the dark with a whiskey in hand. He had just been set free from the authorities. The television in front of him was the only source of lighting in the room. It played the whole scandal between him and the Knight-Chen family. He wasn't paying attention to the news. There was something else that bothered him, and he had no say in the matter whatsoever. “You're late.” He said as the door to the room suddenly opened. “I'm sorry. Traffic was bad.” The man behind the door said. Royce waved him off as if it was nothing. “He sent me.” The figure replied. “Said you wanted me to do something.” “Yes. The Knights think they can threaten me and get away with it.” Royce said with gritted teeth. He dropped his glass of whiskey on the table. “I want you to show them I'm not one to mess with.” Royce said with an ominous look in his eyes. “Consider it done.” The man said with a nod, sharing the same ominous look with Royce. He left the

PARISIAN TRUCEThey secured the deal. It was definitely more challenging than London but the partnership was finally sealed. Everything concerning business has been dealt with. They had three days left in Paris and Emily worried about being alone with James for those days. The next morning, the people in Paris are either morning people or they don't sleep. The streets are filled with people from different places. Different cafés preparing for the hordes of people, tourists walking around with cameras hung over their shoulders. James walked into the room from the bathroom, his hair was still wet from showering. He saw Emily working on something on her phone but he didn't want to disturb her. Things with Emily had him on edge, he was to blame after all he was the one who got drunk and made a dumb mistake. Thinking about everything that led to that horrible day made him uncomfortable again. The phone call. He planned on telling her about the phone call soon but in the meantime, he'd
