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 pov“I will be right back, get a drink and I will be back in a minute,” Conan said, and I nodded. He walked away but then turned back and kissed me on the cheek.“Did I tell you that you look breath taking?” he asked me, and I smiled.“Yes, this would be the fourth time,” I said, and he smiled at this.“Well, you look breath taking,” he added and then smiled again before walking away.I looked around the room trying to see if there is anyone I can socialize with.In Conan’s friends circle I hardly get along with anyone.I could see his sister, but she doesn’t like me at all and all I got from her was a frown.It’s been a year since Conan and I got married and we dated for a year, but she still hates me.Her entire family hasn’t accepted me at all.But my husband loves me more than anything and I am grateful.I watched as Jenna walked towards me.She has made it clear from day one that she was interested in my husband.“Look what we have here.

    Emma’s povI looked around and realized how this all looks.I looked at a naked Matt who was getting his ass kicked and I wondered what happened. What the hell happened here? What is all of this?He left, he left, and I am sure of it. I said goodbye and closed the door, then what the hell happened after?I quickly got off the bed and ran to Conan.If I don’t stop him then he will kill Matt, “could you stop it,” I yelled.He stopped and looked at me, Matt started gathering his clothes and getting dressed.I watched as Conan took off his coat and then put it on my shoulder.He had tears in his eyes and wouldn’t even look me in the eyes.“It’s not what it looks like,” I said, and he scoffed a little at this.“So, you were just playing hide and seek in our bed? Is that why there are two used condoms on the ground?” he asked me.His eyes then landed on Matt and he went after him again.“In my house, how dare you do this in my house and my bed? And that too with my wife?” he asked beatin

    Emma’s povI got out of the room and drove straight to the pharmacy.I grabbed a couple of pregnancy tests and that too different brands just to be sure.When I got home, I found myself looking at them over and over again.That incident with Matt, it’s been a few weeks since it happened.Will Conan think that maybe the child I am carrying is Matt’s child?I am willing to do a DNA test if necessary to put all of this behind us.We have waited for so long to have a child of our own.And now that it might be happening I can’t help but feel scared.My phone started ringing as I was looking at the unopened boxes and it was Maddie.I picked up the phone and she asked to meet me.Honestly, I would rather procrastinate for as long as it takes.I quickly took my bag and then drove to the place we were meeting.“Are you okay?” she asked me, and I shook my head.“How can I be okay? Conan can’t even look me in the eye,” I said and sighed.“I am miserable Maddie,” I said and watched as she wiped t

    Conan’s pov“What the hell do you think you are doing?” Maddie asked coming into my office.“Just so you know, being married to your friend doesn’t mean we are friends,” I informed her, and she scoffed.“Of course, it doesn’t mean that. And I would never want to befriend someone like you,” she said.“She called me, she called me and told me everything. Your wife tells you that she is pregnant, and you give her some report that says that you can’t have kids,” she said.“I don’t owe you an explanation, and I am surprised that Emma told you all of this,” I said.Emma has always been someone who doesn’t like telling people about her private life.Hell, you wouldn’t know about her finances or anything like that.But then again, she and Maddie have always been like sisters.And this isn’t a small issue, I am sure that she just wanted to have someone to talk to.“Listen, this matter is between me and my wife,” I said, and she chuckled bitterly at this.“Your wife?

    Emma’s pov“Do you hear me Emma, if you leave then don’t ever come back,” Conan yelled.I held on as tightly as I could to my bag and continued walking.“Please don’t go, please don’t leave him,” he pleaded. But how can I stay?I saw the way he looked at me, he will never be able to trust me again.He called our baby my baby.Yes, I could stay here and give birth and then have a DNA test done on the baby.I am a 100% sure that this baby I am carrying is mine and Conan’s baby.But I will be honest, I am angry that he refuses to believe me when I tell him it’s a misunderstanding.I tried to explain to him that I think someone planned all of this, but he doesn’t believe me.All he sees or hears when I say those words is a woman trying to justify or hide her mistakes.Not only that, I know that it will die down but let’s be honest nothing is ever really gone from the internet.He might get rid of it, but what will happen when our child grows up and is being called names.Not only that, bu

    Emma’s povI looked at the falling slow and looked around the small town.Everything was still closed, and I would love a cup of coffee.But decaf, and I am really hungry right now.I haven’t been eating well for days now and I need a proper meal.I walked around the empty streets, in this cold weather people are locked up in their rooms.“You seem like you need a strong cup of coffee,” a woman said, and I looked at her confused.She had come out of a café, “actually, not that strong. Decaf maybe,” I said, and she smiled.“Come in,” she said but the sign said that they are not open yet.“Come on, I can’t let you freeze outside,” she said, and I nodded.I walked in and the moment I walked in the smell of fresh baked food hit my nose.I looked around her shop and for a second I couldn’t understand what it is.It had what looked like a small, cute library and had all kinds of things.Hot beverages and also baked things.“I also sell flowers in spring as well,” she suddenly said.I looked

    Emma’s pov“Aunt Emma, so when is the baby coming?” Jamie asked me and I smiled.“Very soon, the baby will be here very soon,” I said, and he smiled.“When she comes, will I be able to play with her?” Rose asked and I nodded.“You know Aunt, all my friends can’t wait to meet the baby,” Rose said with a cute smile.“You will meet her very soon,” I said and then looked outside.It’s been 8 months already and I might give birth anytime.I am grateful to Daisy and her amazing kids.But at times I still felt really lonely throughout the whole thing.The one person I wanted next to me isn’t there at all.Flashback“Wait, where is May, everyone where is May?” I asked looking around.“May,” I called out but couldn’t see her.I told the school that a school trip to the busiest part of the city isn’t a good idea.They just had to choose this trip to the museum on such a busy day.“Please, get the other kids into the bus and make sure that they are all in there.

    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

    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?

    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“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

    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 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 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
