Emma’s pov

As 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.

    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

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

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“You are really so beautiful Lily,” Maddie said and I smiled at this.“Thank you,” Lily said and continued eating her food.We were having a small breakfast date since it’s been long since we saw each other.She was telling me about how her life was going.I loved how she seemed happy and content in her new relationship.Whoever this new guy is, it’s clear that he is treating her well.“As I live and breath, is that you Emma Cooper?” a voice asked and I froze.After some time I turned around to look at the owner of the voice.He stood there with a smirk on his face.How I wish I could wipe that smirk off his face right now.“It’s been 14 years and you haven’t changed even a little,” he said and I frowned.“And this little girl must be your daughter, she is as beautiful as her mother,” he said and I got up and blocked Lily from him.“You have the nerve, I thought I made it clear that I wanted nothing to do with you,” I said and he scoffed.“That was a long time ago.

    Conan’s povShe didn’t talk for some time and seemed to be deep in thought.She didn’t even answer my question when I asked if she was ready to talk about it.But I took it as a yes, whatever it is seemed to be weighing heavily on her.I have never seen her like this, I mean if you don’t mention that time of the cheating misunderstanding.“Remember when I told you about the two people I hate?” she asked me and I nodded.It was a long time ago but I always wondered who those people were.Emma had always been a very forgiving person ever since I met her.She wouldn’t just hate someone for no reason.I always wondered what it is that they must have done to make her hate them.Someone who is kind like her felt so wronged that she couldn’t forgive them.“It’s her and her son,” she explained and I frowned.“She is my aunt, Dr Emily Cooper is my father’s younger sister,” she added.Wait, so she does know this Emily Cooper?But ever since I met her, she had told me that she didn’t have any fa

I thought that I left that part of my life in the past.When Olivia mentioned them, I tried my best to ignore it.But now I can’t ignore it, they are the anonymous donors.They have a connection with the person that did this to me.Wait, Anne did mention that Matt would talk to a woman.Is it possible that Emily is the woman he was talking to?What did I do?What did I do that they would come back just to ruin my life?I left their family and their lives.“Cooper,” Conan said and his eyes landed on me.“You look pale, is everything okay?” he asked me.“I will get you some water,” Jamal said as he ran to the kitchen.“You know this Emily Cooper don’t you?” Conan asked me and I nodded.Jamal handed me the bottle of water and I had a sip.“She is my Aunt, she and my father were siblings,” I answered and he looked at me confused.“Wait, you have an Aunt who is a famous Doctor and also a rich person. Why did you grow up at an orphanage?” he asked me and I too

    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

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

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

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

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
