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 povI looked at the crowd of people whose attention was on the screen.The many journalists they invited to this event were doing their job.I smiled as I pressed the send button and sent it to every journalist in the city and outside of it.I also added extra footage of what he was talking about.All the blackmail materials they had except one.I am not going to send this video to the person who needed to see it.I took the phone I had and then threw it in the dustbin on my way out.I found Jamal already waiting for me in his car and the smiled.“The man are already in, you don’t have to worry,” he said driving and I nodded.“I sent out emails
Conan’s povI looked at her as she was driving away.What the hell is happening here?I came here to talk to Jack about the video he was talking about.Why would Matt pay him to edit a video?I walked in and found the father son duo sitting down and sipping whisky.“You two have 2 minutes to tell me what the hell you did,” I said, and they all turned to me.Mr Watson ran to me and kneeled down and just started begging to be saved.“If a man as powerful as you are stands up for us. Then we will be saved,” he said, and I frowned.“I will think about it, but for now I need you to give me the answers I want,” I said, and they all nodded.I sat down and looked at both of them.“Why did Matt pay you? Why is he scared that Emma is back?” I asked and my eyes landed on Jack who frowned.“Tell him son,” his father said, and Jack nodded.“Your wife was telling the truth that day. The video was edited and the person that did so was me because Mr Knowles asked me to do so,” he answered.“Why would
Emma’s povI was pretending to be sleeping hoping that he would walk away but he didn’t.Instead, he came in and sat next to me on the bed.I felt as his hand started caressing my face an moving the hair that was blocking it.“Gosh you are even more beautiful,” he whispered but I could still hear him.I didn’t hear him move so I kept my eyes closed.Is he just watching me sleep?I felt it as his face started getting closer to mine and he kissed my forehead.Why is he doing this?He gave me a cheque and asked me to go away.Then why is he suddenly behaving this way?It’s been 6 years Conan; our feelings should have been gone by now.But mine haven’t, actually I have buried them far away.It doesn’t matter really if you still love me or not.It doesn’t matter if I love you or not, I might just die so it’s pointless.I know that I broke your heart when I walked away.I know that I broke your heart with the Matt incident even though I am completely innocent.But I won’t break your heart t
Conan’s povI woke up and she was gone.Where on earth did she go?Emma has never been a morning person.I would always wake up before her.I decided to look for her downstairs when suddenly an amazing scent hit my nose.As I was going down my eyes landed on my dining room that had about 4 strange men.“Good morning Mr Hansen,” a voice said, and I looked at Jamal.“Hello, what is happening here?” I asked looking at the other 3 men.“Good morning sir,” they said and then walked off leaving us with only Jamal.“Come on, sit down so you can have your food properly,” I heard Emma say.She walked out of the kitchen and put food on the table.“Thank you Ma’am,” Jamal said, and he was about to touch the food, but I slapped his hand away.“What is happening here? Why are you sitting in my house and eating my food that my wife cooked for me?” I asked him and he just smiled.“Just stop with the drama and sit down,” Emma said walking towards us.She had juice and coffee in hand and then sighed a
Emma’s pov“I thought you didn’t want him to see the video,” Jamal said as I got in the car.“Well, I thought that he wouldn’t care about it,” I said and watched as Jamal looked at me through the mirror.“He is your husband; I am sure deep down he must believe that you are innocent. And this is his way of finding the truth to prove what he already knows,” he said, and I smiled.“It honestly doesn’t matter. Like I said, I am not here to fix my relationship with him,” I added and then looked down to the documents.“So, first is a coffee date with your friend and then that important meeting?” Jamal asked me and I nodded.I got to the coffee shop and found Maddie already waiting for me.&ldq
Emma’s pov“Could you stop that?” I asked Kyle who was laughing.“I can’t help myself, you my dear are an evil genius,” he said with a smile.I just looked at Taylor who was watching as everything he built burn down to the ground.I felt someone’s eyes on me again and I looked around and they landed on Conan.He was looking at me as if trying to read me from across the room.Jenna on the other side was already gone, she probably ran off as well.“Let’s go outside,” I said to Kyle who nodded, and we walked outside.Everyone was outside scared for their lives and the doors were closed so the rats don’t come outside.“OMG, what just happened?” I heard other people ask.As people were busy waiting outside for an explanation a police car stopped.“Where is Mr Taylor?” one of the man asked and Taylor came running.“Please find whoever did this to me, don’t let this person get away,” he said.“Mr Taylor, you are under arrest for murder,” one of the guys said taking out hand cuffs.I watched
Conan’s povI couldn’t get Emma out of my mind.That call when she was talking to her child, I saw a side of her I had never seen before.I have never seen her so vulnerable and so sad and in pain.She always had this look on her that you could never tell what she was feeling.But now, her emotions were as clear as day and I wanted to be there for her.I wanted to hold her, not only that but I wanted to see her daughter.Emma has a daughter, that child could have been ours.I could have joined in on that phone call with them and exchanged the many I loves you they told each other.That phone call, it made me wish for a life I knew I could never have.A life I had one dreamt of having with Emma.“Hi, I am here so we can get started on the project,” Jenna said walking into my office.“We are working on a project together, but we are not best friend. You stay in your lane,” I told her, and she frowned.“But when will you stop being rude to me?” she threw a tantrum, and I just rolled my e
Emma’s povI got home and called my baby since I really wanted to talk to her.It was already late, but I knew that since it was Friday night they were having a movie night.“Mommy,” she said as I sat on the bed and smiled at this.“Hello baby,” I said and smiled as I saw the huge smile on my baby’s face.“I missed you, we had a movie night and you missed out,” she said, and I chuckled.“What were you watching?” I asked her and she smiled.“The minions movie, will you watch it with me Mommy?” she asked me, and I nodded.“I can never say no to that,” I said, and she started telling me about her day.“When are you coming back home?” she asked me, and I just sighed.“Well, Mommy has a few things to figure out and then I will come back home. And this time I won’t leave you ever again,” I said, and she smiled.“Will you go to the beach with me?” she asked me, and I frowned.“But you don’t like the beach, you said that it is dirty,” I said, and she looked down.“Well, Mommy since you like i
Emma’s povI watched as he froze completely, and his face went pale.“I am not saying that you did it. I know you; you wouldn’t betray me after all I did for you,” I said, and he nodded.“I would never do such a thing to you. You trusted me and gave me the best opportunity of my life. If it wasn’t for you then I would still be washing dishes,” he said, and I nodded.“I know that I was hoping maybe you would tell me if you saw anyone suspicious?” I asked him.He shook his head so much that I thought his head will come off.“No, not that I can think of,” he answered, and I nodded.“Excuse me, I know you said that you were hungry, but I just remembered that I had something important to do. Can I cook for you another day?” he asked me.I looked at the Pasta that was in the boiling water and then back at him.“You have your huge opening night tomorrow. Of course, I wouldn’t mind at all, see you tomorrow night,” I said and then smiled.“I am really proud of you Taylor. You got here all on y
Emma’s povAs I was walking downstairs I found Conan at home.He has been ignoring me a lot lately and I am actually grateful for that.“Morning,” I said as I also poured myself a cup of coffee and he didn’t answer.Instead, he just frowned and then turned around to leave.He suddenly stopped and turned to look at me.“I will have my lawyers send you the divorce papers, if you want the house then you can have it. All I want is to be freed from this relationship,” he said, and I smiled.“I didn’t know that this relationship was such a burden. And I freed you years ago didn’t I?” I asked him and then sighed.“If you think signing a piece of paper will set you free then I won’t argue with you,” I said and then had a sip of my coffee.I looked up and found him still looking at me as if trying to read me.His blue eyes darkened, and he ran his hand through his hair.“You really don’t care do you?” he asked me, and I sighed at this.“You want the divorce right? All I am doing is giving you
Emma’s pov“It’s late, do you want to have a late night dinner?” Kyle asked me.I looked at the time and it was already late just like he said.I am starving so I wouldn’t mind having dinner.“Don’t overthink it, it’s just dinner between colleagues,” he said, and I rolled my eyes.“Of course, I know that, but tell that to the tabloids that keep writing about our newfound relationship and calling me a gold digger,” I said, and he looked at me.“You never really strike me as someone who would care what others think,” he said, and I just shrugged.“I guess you don’t know me as much as you think you do,” I said, and he nodded.“Shall we go with my car?” he asked me, and I shook my head. “I want to drive home after that, so we can each use our cars. I will follow behind you,” I said, and he smiled.He didn’t say anything and then we both went to our respective cars and drove to the restaurant.We sat down and ordered some food and as I took the first bite I froze.“What is wrong?” Kyle ask
Emma’s pov“Have a good night Mrs Hansen,” Jamal said and I just nodded and waved goodbye.I stopped at the large doors of the mansion and then smiled.It’s a little sad and funny how things change at times.This place, this place that was once my home feels foreign to me now.It is as if I had never lived here before all of this.Although nothing has changed it all feels different.I walked in and the entire place was completely dark.I took a few steps and suddenly one light went on.I looked over and it was Conan just sitting there with a glass in hand.“You are back, and that too after midnight,” he said and then chuckled.I walked over to the switch and turned on the lights of the entire place.“You are drunk, I will help you to your room,” I said and walked to his side so I could help balance him.The moment I touched him he pushed me away and then frowned.“Don’t touch me, don’t touch me with your filthy hands. Weren’t you using those hands to touch Kyle? Isn’t that the reason
Emma’s povI could feel Conan’s furious gaze on me.“Project Manager, she is an art teacher. What does she know about business?” Matte asked looking at me.Well, I am glad that me being here riled him up a bit.But I am not happy that I am doing this to Conan.He grew up feeling like Kyle always took everything away from him and now I did the same.I am sure to him; it looks like I used his worst fear to try and spite him.I sighed and then looked at Matt before rolling my eyes.“It isn’t your place to question my credentials Mr Knowles. That is my employer’s job and also our client,” I said and then smirked.“Your question me is the same as question Mr Shaw. I personally met with him myself and talked about the project. Are you questioning the intelligence of our client?” I asked Matt.I watched how his eyes widened as he looked at Mr Shaw trying to explain himself.“No, I didn’t mean it like that at all. I was just asking and since Mr Shaw approved you then I have no objections,” he
Conan’s povFlashback“Where to Sir?” my driver Benjamin asked the moment I got into the car.“Drive to the school, I am picking Emma up,” I answered, and he nodded.He drove to the school, and I got there and found her packing up.She always has this serious look on her face every time she is alone. It is like she is thinking about something deeply.I watched as her blond hair moved along with her.She started looking around and I smiled as I handed her a scrunchie.She took it without seeing who it was and tied her hair up and sighed.She turned around to look at me and I watched as her entire demeanour changed.She went from being serious to having a huge smile on her face.Her green eyes sparkled as she looked at me.I looked at her, I could tell that she didn’t know what to do.We have been taking our relationship slowly that I haven’t even kissed her yet.I don’t know how to explain it, but I feel like she is the one for me.I am patient with her and am willing to take everythin
