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 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 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
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 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
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. Little Miss Orphan,” she said and
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

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
