“Emma?” An overly familiar voice called out and Emma froze. When she looked up, she found William standing beside his son, Jacob. They both stared at her with suspicion as she never frequented the area unless she was being called.

“What are you doing here?” William asked, narrowing his eyes at her Emma’s heart pounded harshly against her chest and her mind raced, searching for a lie to get her out of the situation she was in.

“I…I..uh.. the thing is…” She stammered but couldn’t form any coherent sentence.

“What are you doing in this hallway, Emma? You know it belongs to Father and I don’t think you were sent by anyone so what the fuck are you doing here?” Jacob yelled, his gaze sharp and full of suspicion.

Emma knew that she had to say something fast if she didn’t want them to throw her out right there so, she said the first thing that entered her head.

“I was looking for you, Jacob. I searched everywhere but couldn’t find you so I decided to come here since I know you visit here freq

    “Someone was in here!” William said angrily and stormed into the living room, his face twisted in rage. He didn’t want to cause a scene because there were secrets hidden in that room that no one was to ever find out and if Jacob or Garcia saw him getting so worked up about someone going into his room, they would wonder what was in it that he wanted to hide so badly. So, he called one of the maids and had her call the others to his study.“Get everyone to my study, now!” He yelled at the young maid who immediately scurried off to grab the other staff.The maids scattered at the entrance of his study, unsure of the source of his anger as they sensed trouble on the way.“Which one of you came into my study?!” He barked, his voice echoing through the four walls of the study.The maids exchanged confused glances as they silently questioned each other. Tracy, one of the older maids decided to speak up and save everyone from William’s wrath.“Pardon me, sir, but, none of us came into this fl

    “S-shayne… I think my water broke.” Anna said with a terrified look on her face and two seconds later, she was hit with an unbearable pain.Shayne, who had no experience with pregnant women, was completely confused, so, she dialed Jacob’s number while trying to get Anna to the car.“Pick the fuck up!” She yelled as she dialed it for the fifth time. It had been ringing, but the irresponsible jerk wasn’t picking up. He had gotten her sister pregnant and claimed to love her, but when she needed him the most, he was nowhere to be found. Shayne hated that her sister was in love with such a man but, what could she do?Anna was in ‘ love ’.Anna and Jacob have been together for one year now.

    “I think you have lost it, Miss Anna. You didn’t give birth to a child today. You only came here for a checkup.” As the words left Doctor Fred’s mouth, Anna felt air leave her chest as she found herself struggling to breathe. She was confused and in pain since she was yet to recover from the hospital. What she was more confused about was how he was standing before her and spewing lies like she was an idiot.“Cut that stupid crap, Doctor Fred. You know that I am not stupid! You were in there with me a while ago and helped me give birth! What are you talking about?” Anna screamed at his face but, his stance was unchanging, and he continued to stare at her with a cold look.“Jacob will murder you if he finds out that you are trying to steal my baby from me.” She threatened, pointing at his face. Her screams were causing a scene at Doctor Fred’s hospital, so he decided to send her away.“We have been nice to you and even offered you free treatment for your illness, but, we will no long

    “Your work here is done. I wanted a child, so you gave me one. You can die for all I care. I have gotten what I wanted.” He said and Anna felt the air leave her lungs. “W... what?” She forced the words out of her throat. Her chest felt like it was about to rip into pieces. She must have heard wrong. Even Shayne, who already knew how much of an asshole he was, couldn’t believe that he would actually say those words to Anna’s face. He was truly an asshole Anna shook her head and grabbed his arm, her lips shivering. “Y…you are just joking, right? This is one of your jokes, isn’t it?” Her tone was unstable and her voice broke. Jacob only looked at her with disgust before latching his hands around her tiny ones and pushing her so hard that if it wasn’t for her quick-witted sister, she would have fallen face flat on the floor. “You are causing a scene here, Anastasia Walker. I'd advise you to leave… go far away and never come back. And, don’t even try going to the media or p

    ONE YEAR LATER.“What do you think of Trevor, Anna? He’s a nice guy, and he’s a director at Mills Corp,” Shayne said, shoving a picture of the mentioned man into Anna’s face, hoping to pique her interest.But Anna remained as disinterested as ever. Ever since she was betrayed by Jacob and had her child taken away, it was as though a part of her was also taken away.They even had to move to a different country to avoid news about him and his wife, but nothing worked. Anna was still shaken by the incident even after a whole year.“You don’t have a boyfriend either, Shayne. Why don’t you go out with him?” Anna said with a sigh, continuing to scroll through her phone.Her eyes were glued to the phone, and they held a sad look as tears pooled in her eyes.“What are you looking at?” Shayne asked with raised eyebrows, but Anna was too immersed in her phone. Shayne quickly snatched it from her hands.“Jesus, Anna! Can you stop stalking this asshole? It’s been a year already!” Shayne raised he

    “Christ, Anna. You are so not drinking again.” Shayne entered the room with two aspirin tablets and a glass of water. “One glass, Anna! One fucking glass, and you are already drunk as hell. This is never happening again.” Shayne grumbled. “I feel like shit.” Anna groaned as the headache hit her hard. “Come on,” Shayne said as she helped her sit up. Once she was up, she handed the tablet over to her and helped her swallow everything. “I’m glad I wasn’t too drunk to get you home. Well, Dylan helped us get home, but I did find you.” Shayne rapped, but Anna was too busy to regain her body. “Do you remember anything that happened after you left?” Shayne asked, and Anna nodded her head without thinking. “I went to the bar to get some rest and then…and then.” She stammered as her brain went completely blank. Anna took a deep breath and decided to try again. “I went to the bar to rest, and then I…oh my God!” Her hands clamped down on her mouth as she remembered the little scene s

    Anna took a deep breath and began recounting her past to Tristian. “Jacob Wades was my boyfriend. He’s with my child. The current heir to the Wades Empire is my son, stolen from me by that evil family.” Anna continued, oblivious to the look on Tristian’s face. The mere utterance of the name ‘Wades’ filled her with anger. Tristian, taken aback, clarified, “Jacob Wades?” “I know it might be unbelievable, but it is true. I might not look like it, but the current heir to the Wades Empire is my son. He was stolen from me by that evil family.” Anna gritted her teeth in anger as the name she hated the most left her lips. When she looked up, Tristian had a mischievous smile on his face. She couldn’t help but wonder if he knew them personally. Not that she would be surprised. He looked like a wealthy man, and rich people always know themselves. “Do you know the Wade family? Not vague knowledge like everyone. You look like you have a personal relationship with them.” She asked with t

    Anna’s eyes widened in shock, and her jaw almost dropped to the ground…almost. “I…He’s Tristian Reyes?” She stammered, her eyes still showing disbelief. “Are you kidding me right now? The man told you his name, for heaven’s sake!” Shayne screamed, gripping her hair out of frustration. “It didn’t occur to me then, Shayne. I had no idea.” Anna said, still unable to comprehend that the man she had just met was a renowned billionaire. “Well, call him back and tell him you’re interested.” Shayne suggested, prompting a baffled look from Anna. “I just left there an hour ago. I don’t want to look desperate. I’ll call him at night and ask to meet up tomorrow.” She said, and after giving it much thought, Shayne agreed. They sat silently for a few minutes, thinking about how things would change if they took Tristian’s help. Then, Anna suddenly remembered that it was still early in the afternoon, but Shayne was still home. “Why aren’t you at work? The last I checked, I am the une

    Emma stared at the now-revealed door with her jaw on the ground. Her pulse quickened and her feet trembled but, she was determined to uncover whatever secret was hidden behind the door so, she stepped in. There was a dark hallway, the only source of light being a dim light which was at the end of the hallway. She finally reached the end of the hallway and a door came into view. Emma said a small prayer before reaching for the doorknob and to her surprise, it wasn’t locked. Her heart thundered in her chest as the door creaked open, revealing a small, dimly lit room. It was almost like a private lounge with leather couches, a glass coffee table, and a running air conditioner. The air in the secret room was cold with a faint scent of cigarettes. This meant that the room wasn’t abandoned. If anything, it was still very much in use. But she wasn’t there to gaze at the mysterious room so, she blinked and readied herself. “Alright, Emma.” She whispered to herself in a barely audible voi

    THE WADE MANSIONEmma sat on her king-sized bed, her mind filled with various thoughts. With her family’s name on the decline and her father on the verge of imprisonment for money laundering, she had lost all the modeling projects she was handling and had received cancellation emails from other brands that wanted to work with her.Her life was falling apart and there was nothing she could do.The last few days had been hard for her as she could feel the tension in the Wade mansion. She knew that something big was about to happen. She could feel it.Jacob’s attitude had become worse and even his parents were no longer on her side. Not that they were ever on her side.Her only option was Anna, the only person who had offered to help her. She understood that if she wanted to save her family and herself, she had to listen to Anna. There was no time to be suspicious of her.A knock on the door pulled her out of her thoughts. Garcia opened the door and walked in, a false smile on her face.

    “I have made the necessary preparation. I will be divorcing Emma next week after the party to make room for you in my life.”Anna stared at Jacob with her eyes wide open and her jaw almost on the ground, the weight of his words hanging in the air.She knew he was a fool who didn't think before acting but this…this was unexpected. She could tell from his expression that he had not sat down to think things through properly. If he had, he wouldn't have been so eager to go through with the divorce. Any sane person would be suspicious of their ex-girlfriend who they treated badly suddenly coming back into their lives and acting like everything was great between them.“Are you being serious right now, Jacob?” Anna asked, her voice steady but the shock in her eyes remained. “On what grounds are you asking for a divorce? I don't think Emma has done anything bad enough to warrant a divorce.” Anna said, pretending to care about his marriage.“We aren't a real couple, Anna. Getting a divorce wou

    “You are openly seducing the CEO to keep your job because you are talentless.”A surge of irritation rose within Shayne but, she maintained her composure. The last thing she was going to do was stoop to their level and exchange words with them. So, with a smile on her face, she held her head eye and walked to them.“I don't have to seduce him, my darling. He's the one swooning over me. Too bad no one has noticed you….either of you. You seem like the talentless one to me.” She mocked, leaving them with their jaws on the floor.“Now, If you'd excuse me. This talentless person has a shoot to do. There's no time for me to be lazying around doing nothing. I'll give you some advice; you should change this nasty character of yours. Maybe then you'd stop being an MIT.” Shayne said to both of them, referring to them as a Model-In-Training.Before any of them could give her a response, the door opened to reveal her manager who informed her that her shoot begins in ten minutes. She turned and gr

    “Since your morning schedule has been cleared out, you will be spending the rest of the morning with me.”Shayne blinked, completely caught off guard by his bluntness. She had known for a long time that the man was bold but, this was…unexpected.“Let me take you to a restaurant for a light snack. I know you already had breakfast so we won’t be ordering anything heavy. I know models don’t eat much.” He said, gesturing for her to join him. “We’ll only be out for an hour or two. You have nothing to be worried about.”Shayne stared at him with her lips parted. She couldn’t believe his guts. She wondered if this was how all rich men behaved.Shayne opened her mouth to speak, ready to decline his offer and walk out of his office but, she immediately had a second thought. It was just breakfast and it was going to be in an open space. There was no way anything would happen.‘Having a little snack with him wouldn’t hurt.’ She thought. Besides, she had only taken a cup of coffee before leaving

    “You’re getting this wrong, Shayne. I didn’t do this. Mr Wade did it himself. He cleared out your schedule.”Her mouth parted slightly, both intrigued and annoyed. “Nathan did this? Why?”“I have no idea, Shayne. But, hey! You have a lot of free time. I think it’s a win.” Luca shrugged and flashed her a wink before he walked out of the dressing room.As soon as he left, Shayne grabbed her purse from the table and marched to the last floor. She wanted to hear from Nathan himself why he cleared her schedule.Shayne got off the elevator and searched for Nathan’s office. She asked one of the workers on the floor who directed her to his office.“Can I help you?” A blonde who seemed to be in her early twenties stopped her before she could enter the office.“And you are?” Shayne asked in an impatient tone, her face twisted in annoyance.“Mr Wade’s secretary. Is there a problem?” The blonde asked with a scowl on her face. Upon hearing that the lady was Nathan’s secretary who was only doing he

    “Tristan confessed his feelings to me, Shayne. He confessed.”Shayne shrieked, her eyes widened with Joy. “Oh my goodness, Anna. I can’t believe that happened. That’s Amazing! How do you feel now that this has happened?” She asked and Anna’s smile deepened, a blush appearing on her face.“It feels unreal. I still cannot believe it happened.”Anna replied.“So, are you guys a real couple now? No more marriage of convenience?” Shayne asked with a wide grin and Anna’s smile faded and was replaced with sadness.“I…I don’t know, Shayne. I really want to give him a chance but, I am so scared.” She cried.Shaking her head slowly, Shayne reached out to her sister and held her hand. “Oh, Anna. We’ve had this discussion before, sweetheart. Jacob was a bad experience and not every man is like that. Tristan on the other hand, is a darling and we have seen that.
