Emma’s pov“That concludes the end of this meeting,” Conan said as he got up.“What happened with you? Did you really give this girl 15% shares of the company. Even I your mother don’t have that many shares,” Mrs Hansen said, and I looked at her.“Mother let’s not talk about this now,” Conan said, and he seemed tired already.“And you, how dare you come back here after everything you did to my son?” Mrs Hansen asked me.I chuckled as I looked at her and then got up from my seat to leave.“I asked you a question, now answer me,” she said, and I turned around to look at her.“You never accepted me as your son’s wife or your daughter-in-law. Now tell me Mrs Hansen, why should I waste my time talking to you?” I asked her.I watched how her eyes widened as she looked at me like she couldn’t believe it.“What did you just say?” she asked me, and I smiled.“I am saying that I don’t have time for this, and I don’t have time for you,” I said and then walked out.“Are you just going to let her
Emma’s povAs I was leaving the restaurant I got a call from Daisy.“Girl, you are all over the news. And they aren’t saying anything good about you,” she said, and I sighed.“I knew that much, so try your best to keep Lily from seeing the news,” I told her.“I will try, but you know that your daughter loves reading the news. It will be hard to keep her from finding out,” she said, and I sighed.“So, all this time you neglected to tell me that you are rich,” she said, and I found myself smiling.“It isn’t my wealth to brag about,” I said and after a few other things I ended the call.Now what to do, I do know for certain that Matt had help.The contraceptives, how did they end up in my blood?This can only happen if someone I know had been secretly giving them to me.That someone must have had excess to my food.That would be hard to tell since everyone who was here had access to my food.It could be the chef; Conan didn’t want me to cook all the time.So, he hired a chef and there we
Conan’s povWhat is she thinking?She really has never been interested in all of this.Not only that, but she is suddenly driving the car that I got her years ago.She had only driven it once ever since I got it for her and now she is suddenly driving it.I looked outside and it was already dark, and I should head back home.But then I am going to bump into her.“Sir, all the articles that are speaking negatively about your wife have been removed,” my assistant said, and I nodded.“Good, make sure that even the comments or anything on the internet that is talking shit about her is gone,” I said and then took my jacket.When I got home she was already gone, and I looked around and noticed that there was no food.I was that she would cook again like she did yesterday.I am really hungry right now, I looked around the fridge and there was nothing.My eyes then landed on the counter and noticed that there was a pack of Ramen Noodles and a note.‘I was too tired to cook, just eat this,’ th
Emma’s pov“You said that Candance was in the city,” I said to Sam who nodded.You see, Sam is the kind of guy that knows everyone.He also knows people who knows people. Mostly it’s because he comes from a big family and also a small town.His cousins got married and extended the families.He is always talking about how he knows a dentist or has one in the family.“Yes, she is in the city and still working as a stripper,” Sam said shaking his head.Candance is a distant cousin of his and she broke all ties with her family.They treated her like she was the black sheep of the family.And they mostly judge her for all the things that she does.But I am not one to judge, we each do whatever we can to survive this world.I also had to work 2 jobs just to get by.“I will send you her number,” he said, and I nodded.“You are doing good kiddo, make everyone pay for what they did to you,” he said, and I smiled.“How is Lily and everyone?” I asked him and he just shrugged.“You know your daug
Emma’s povAs I noticed kids buys running around outside and it’s almost midnight.“Such reckless parents, who let’s their child out so late at night?” I said more to myself than anyone.“Yes, it’s reckless behaviour but they also look grown up enough to know between right and wrong,” Conan retorted.“There are adults who can’t tell right from wrong, expecting it from kids as well is a little too much,” I said and then heard him frown.“Speaking of kids,” he said a few minutes later but I just continued driving.“What about your kid? You were pregnant when you left,” he pointed out and I looked at him.“I know that I was the one who was pregnant,” I also pointed out.I packed the car inside the garage and then sighed as I looked at him.“Don’t worry about my child, Just know that my kid is well taken care of,” I said and then got out of the car.“You called those parents reckless, what about you? You left your kid behind, to do what?” he asked me, and I smiled.“Why are you here Emma?
Conan’s pov“What brings you to my home so early?” I asked Mr Watson who just smiled.“I had come to extend an invitation to you. Your wife came to see me the other day and I gave her hers,” he said, and I frowned.Emma went to see him, but why?“My wife came to see you?” I asked him and he nodded.“Yes, I think she was somewhere in the area and decided to drop by,” he said and then smiled.“I am so happy that you two decided to work things through. It took 6 years, but you eventually did it,” he added.“And my wife, did she say that she will come to your party?” I asked him.“Why wouldn’t I? Mr Watson worked so hard to get where he is. He even said it himself that I had a little hand in it,” Emma said walking in.She had just came back from her run.Her eyes landed on me, she walked towards me and hugged me.“Morning dear husband, shall I make you some breakfast?” she asked me.When there is people around she acts like a loving wife.She pretends as if everything is okay but the mome
Conan’s pov“You shouldn’t go to the party. Everyone who is everyone will be there, even journalists. You won’t be able to handle it,” I said to Emma who looked at me.She didn’t say anything but got up to leave.“I am just looking out for you,” I said, and she frowned as she looked at me.“Did I ask you to look out for me?” she asked me, and I sighed.“I don’t understand, why are you so angry at me? I should be the one who is angry, I should be the one avoiding you,” I said, and she looked at me confused.“Why? Because I cheated on you and slept with your best friend?” she asked me.I looked at her, she was so nonchalant as she asked me that question.“I don’t even want to think about it, don’t talk about it,” I said, and she looked at me.“Listen, you want me to go right? That is what you said the other day when I came here for the first time,” she said, and I frowned.I said all of that out of anger, I am still angry and hurt that she left me all those years.I was willing to forge
Conan’s povI went home, showered, and got changed for the event and went straight there.I walked to the event and looked around the room for my wife.My eyes landed on her and she was wearing red.Did she do it on purpose?She knows, actually everyone knows that red in Mr Watson’s trademark colour.When going to his events, people avoid the colour since he wants to be the one dressed in red, so he stand out.Not only that, but the other guests were wearing black and white.I looked at her and some man seemed to be flirting with her and she was eating it up.How is this even possible?The Emma I know avoided contact with other men as much as possible.She would be polite and kind with them but never so flirty.
Emma’s pov“We just saw each other yesterday, did you miss me that much?” I asked Lisa and she nodded.“I did miss you, and also something has been bothering me all night. So I decided to look into it,” she said and then handed me some files.“It’s obvious that Lily is Conan’s daughter. But then why would all those reports say that he can’t father a child?” she asked me and I sighed.“I have no idea, I have been trying to find out the truth but with no luck. You know how private hospitals can be,” I said and she nodded.“Lucky for you, my father has a lot of connections,” she said and then gestured that I open the file.“Every time when Conan would go to a fertility clinic to get tested. Somehow the news would leak and it would be everywhere,” she pointed out.I remember that throughout the years I would find an article talking about it.I always just thought that maybe they were lying for clout since they do that a lot.They would lie just so they could sell and make money.“So thank
Lisa’s pov“Thank you,” I said to Emma who just shrugged.I looked around the room, I have never had girlfriends before.The door opened and we all turned around to find Conan Hansen standing there.His eyes landed on Emma and I could tell the man was mesmerized.I looked at Emma and she was blushing under his gaze.So my suspicion was correct, this little girl behaves like Conan.She doesn’t shake people’s hands and is very picky about what to eat.She talks almost just like him although she looks just like her mother.“You look breathtaking,” he finally spoke up as he walked towards her.Next Kyle walked in and he looked at us and then frowned.“Women in white, should I be scared?” he asked and his eyes landed on me.“Aren’t you supposed to be getting married today? You are marrying some idiot, aren’t you?” he asked me and I shook my head.“I am sorry to disappoint you. But I am not marrying anyone tonight,” I said and he nodded.“Come on Daddy, mommy is wearing a beautiful dress. D
Lisa’s pov“Don’t try anything stupid tomorrow,” Dean warned and I looked at him and sighed.“You are getting what you want. Are the threats necessary?” I asked him and he smirked.“Of course they are, I don’t want you to start getting the wrong ideas,” he answered and I looked at him.He seemed angry for some reason but what?He is getting what he wants but seems to be nervous about it.“That bitch Emma, I don’t like your little friendship with her,” he said and I scoffed.“Emma and I are working together and that is all. Whatever little insecurity you are having about her. Don’t come and take it out on me,” I said and he looked at me.“Don’t forget, I have that video of your father,” he said and I shrugged.“So what? I am marrying you aren’t I? if you release it then you won’t get a penny from me,” I informed him.“What are you saying?” he asked me and I nodded.“I had a prenup drawn, if that video is ever leaked then you won’t get a cent from me,” I informed him.He looked at me an
Emma’s pov“So he shouldn’t suspect a thing?” Lisa asked me and I nodded.“Well, it’s a good plan. Anything to save my daughter from that vile man,” Mr Shaw said and I nodded.He then looked at me and I looked at him confused.“You have a strong sense of justice. Such a person can never do an injustice to another person,” he said and I looked at him confused.“He is trying to say that there is more than what meets the eye. I mean regarding the whole you and Matt drama,” Lisa explained.“I wouldn’t say there is more, but yes, everything isnt what it appears to be,” I answered and she nodded.“I knew it, you are just too hard working to be what those newspapers call you,” Mr Shaw said.“Not to forget intelligent as well,” Lisa added and I smiled at their compliments.“Thank you, I need to get going,” I said and got up and said my goodbyes to them.As I was walking into my office I found Dean sitting outside waiting for me.“He said that he is an old family friend,” my assistant explaine
Emma’s pov“He did what?” Mr Shaw asked me as he got up from the chair.“Exactly that sir, that son of a bitch has been blackmailing your daughter,” I said and I could see he was fuming.“Please come down,” I said trying to calm him down but he frowned.“No, I am going to kill that son of a bitch,” he said and I shook my head.“I have a better idea,” I said and he looked at me and then sighed.“Why are you helping us?” he asked me and I just shrugged.“I have a bone to pick with them as well,” I answered and he looked at me and then nodded.“What’s this great idea of yours?” he asked me.“I will answer, but first I need you to answer me. Why haven’t you come out yet?” I asked him and he sighed.“I just thought that it would ruin my relationship with my daughter. That she would look at me differently,” he answered.I smiled when I realized that his answer matched that of his daughter. Back when I asked Lisa why she didn’t ask her father or tell him she had a really similar answer.She
Emma’s povShe looked at me and then nodded.She tried on a few dresses while I gave her some feedback back way I could.When she came out again I found myself looking at her with a smile.Have you seen something and it feels like it was made for that person.This dress was made for Lisa and it fit her perfectly like a glove.“You look beautiful,” I said and she smiled but then started sobbing out of the blue.She ran back to the dressing room and I went after her to check what is going on.“Are you okay?” I asked her and she nodded but still continued crying.“What does Dean have on you?” I asked her and she looked at me confused.“His mother worked at your house, she had access and maybe found something that could ruin you. And the son, somehow blackmailed you into marrying him,” I explained to her.I know Dean, he probably realized that just getting money from her once wouldn’t be enough for him.So he just decided to marry his cash cow, that way he can milk it for the rest of his
Emma’s pov“Emma Hansen, is that you?” Dean asked me and I nodded.“Yes it is me,” I said and watched how he smirked and then nodded.“You two are working together right?” he asked Lisa who nodded.“So how is it going?” he asked me and I just shrugged.“It’s going really well, your future wife is really one smart woman,” I said and he nodded at this.“She is, isn't she?” he asked looking at her.“Oh, I wanted to tell you something before I forget. I called a few magazines and newspapers to cover our wedding,” he said and I saw how Lisa frowned.“You did what? But you and I agreed that we would have something small and intimate,” Lisa said and he nodded.“Yes, it will still be small and intimate. Just that we will share it with the whole world. I want the whole world to see that I am marrying this amazing woman,” Dean said with a smile.Lisa nodded and her phone rang and she picked it up.“It’s the boutique. I need to go and try on a few wedding dresses,” she said and got up.“How abou
Emma’s pov“That is just amazing, I am happy with this,” Mr Shaw said and I smiled at this.“Thank you,” I said and all eyes in the room were on me.Matt, he has been having a hard time hiding his hatred towards me.“Excuse me for a second,” I said getting up to take a phone call from Daisy.It could be an emergency, she is with the kids and also is trying to start her business here in the city.She found a place but it is still undergoing renovations, she was tired of living in a small town.It has it’s benefits but at the same time it limits growth as well.It is very important that one moves away from their home town.Plus, her husband was born here in the city.She wants the kids to be closer to their father’s family since her family isn't even supportive.“What’s wrong?” I asked her the moment I answered the phone.“Nothing much, just that you should buy me a nice luxury bag because your daughter is such a problem,” she said and I chuckled at this.“What did she do now?” I asked
Emma’s pov“What did you say to Sarah?” Conan asked me and I looked at him confused.He handed me his tablet and I had a look at what he was reading.It was an article written by Sarah, she was apologizing for everything she wrote about me.Spoke about our past at the orphanage and all the things she knows about me.She was praising me and it was actually the best article she ever wrote.It had so much rawness and emotion, not just because she wrote about how great I am.“I don’t know what happened,” I said and then sighed as I looked at Conan.“I do hate that her so called family got away with it. Adopting a child just so they could treat her life trash,” I said and Conan smiled.“Well, good thing I managed to get even with them. Or I tried,” he said and I looked at him confused.“What did you do?” I asked him and he just shrugged.“I found out that they have a connection with one of our business. They are some small time supplier, I fired them and got new suppliers. And they are als
