Conan’s pov
I 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“Are you sure that this is a good idea?” Jamal asked me as he was driving.“Yes, it’s the only way I will be able to find the person who did this,” I answered, and he sighed.“Your husband won’t be happy about it at all,” he said, and I frowned.“I know, but I also know that despite being a major shareholder I have no chance of entering that company in the way that I want,” I answered.I continued looking at the file in hand and sighed as I remembered my first encounter with that ass hole.Flashback“We agreed that while on our dating trial you wouldn’t do anything fancy,” I said to Conan who sighed.“Just this one time, allow me to spoil you just this once,” he said, and
Emma’s pov“Orphan Project,” Kyle said the moment I walked in, and I frowned at his nickname.“Jerkass,” I retorted with my own and he smiled at this.“So, you still remember me, I am flattered,” he gestured that I should sit on the opposite chair.I sat down and his eyes scanned my entire body and he then smiled.“Back then when I first met you. You were hot but now you are on a whole new level. How did you get hotter with age?” he asked me, and I smiled.“The same way you seemed to have gotten dumper with age,” I said, and he chuckled.“You called me here for a meeting with me, just to insult me?” he asked raising his brow.I looked at him long hair that was now tied in a neat bun.He has changed a lot as well, behind that playful glint is a man.He isn’t that boy I remember from back then who couldn’t watch his words.He is a man and judging from that look in his eyes a cunning one at that.“No, in fact I called you here to ask for your help,” I said, and he looked at me.“What? Do
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
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
