Emily's POV

"So, what would you like?"

Liam asked, his warm smile melting my heart. I felt a flutter in my chest as I looked into his eyes. But I was still too preoccupied to make a decision.

"I'm not sure yet, what about you?"

"I'll have whatever you're having," he said, surprising me. I was not expecting him to say that. I couldn't help but feel a little bit flattered that he wanted to have the same thing as me.

"Okay."

I had a huge smile. "I'll have the grilled salmon with a side of asparagus," I said, picking one of the most popular dishes on the menu.

"That sounds delicious."

His eyes lit up. "Do you want to share a dessert?" he leaned forward in his chair. I felt a flutter in my stomach again, and I nodded.

"That sounds great," I felt a little bit giddy.

The waiter came to take our order, and we both placed our orders. He then asked if we wanted anything to drink, and we both ordered a glass of wine. As we waited for our food to arrive, we made small talk, talking about o

    Emily's POV"Are you about to kidnap me?" I said."Maybe I am." His voice was full of mirth. We both burst out laughing, the tension broken by our shared sense of humor. I could feel my heart lightening, and I was grateful for the moment of levity. We kept walking, and I heard the sound of seagulls overhead.The cool breeze blew against my skin, and I suspected we were near the beach. The sound of the waves confirmed my suspicion - we were at the beach! I couldn't help but smile, feeling giddy and happy. "Is this our destination?" I asked, knowing the answer already. "It is," his voice full of excitement. "Are you ready?""Yes, I am."My heart was pounding in anticipation. He removed the blindfold from my eyes, and I blinked as my eyes adjusted to the light. As my vision cleared, I gasped in surprise. Before me was a beautiful sight - the ocean, stretching out before us, the moon shining down on the water.

    Ethan's POVI opened my eyes, and there she was, standing in front of me. Emily looked concerned, and I wondered if I looked as tired as I felt. "I think it would be more comfortable if you went inside to sleep you look uncomfortable on the couch." I knew she was right.I wondered why she hadn't told me she was coming back late. I knew I shouldn't let her know I was worried, as I didn't want to make her feel special. "You would have told me you were coming back late." I kept my voice steady."I'm sorry." Her voice was apologetic. "I didn't know I would spend so much time." She seemed to be telling the truth, but I still felt a twinge of doubt. "Why weren't you picking up your phone?" "My phone was in my bag, by the time I discovered I had missed calls, my battery had died." I could tell she was telling the truth. "I'm sorry I made you worried," she added, and I could hear the sincerity in her voice."I wasn't worried. I lied.""The dinner at my grandfather's house is tomorrow."

It was none of my business, and she was entitled to her own life. As I entered the kitchen, Emily quickly ended her call. It was clear that she wasn't comfortable with me being around.

I felt my confidence falter, and I wondered if I had chosen the wrong outfit. But I was determined to make the best of it, even if I felt self-conscious."Umm... can we leave now?" I tried to break the awkward silence. I wanted to change the subject and move on from the uncomfortable moment. I could tell Ethan was still looking at me with a critical eye, and I was starting to feel more and more uncomfortable. I just wanted to get out of there and start the evening on a better note."Of course we can. But we'll need to make a few stops on the way." I nodded, feeling relieved that he was willing to move on from the uncomfortable moment. "Okay." I did my best to sound upbeat.As we stepped out of the house, I couldn't help but notice how handsome Ethan looked. His suit fit him perfectly, accentuating his broad shoulders and

    Emily's POV"Which of these would you like?" the saleswoman asked, her smile wide and enthusiastic. I was a bit taken aback by her enthusiasm, and I didn't know what to say. I had no idea what to choose, or even how to begin. "Your fiance, Ethan, is a very handsome and wealthy man," the saleswoman said, her voice almost a whisper. "I'm sure many girls would kill to be in your shoes." I felt a knot in my stomach, not knowing how to respond to her. I didn't want to be rude, but I also didn't want to give her the wrong idea."You're really lucky," she continued. "Your boyfriend is very generous, and he has excellent taste." I felt even more embarrassed at her assumption that he was my boyfriend. I wasn't sure how to correct her, so I just remained silent."I think you should try on the navy blue dress." Her enthusiasm coming back. "It will match perfectly with your fiance's pants." I felt like I was stuck in an awkward situation, not knowing how to get out of it. I looked at her, a pu

    Emily's POVI nodded at the lady, unable to muster up the energy to speak. I had a tired look on my face, and I was starting to feel exhausted. The hairstylist worked on my hair for what felt like an eternity. Finally, she was done, and I was ready to face the night ahead.I took a deep breath and stood up from the chair. I went out to where Ethan was standing, feeling nervous about his reaction. I looked at him, and I was surprised to see a look of amazement on his face. I couldn't help but blush at his reaction. It was the first time I had seen him look at me with anything other than contempt."Y-you look good." he stammered, looking a bit flustered. I couldn't help but smile at his reaction. I was feeling flattered and a bit giddy at the same time. "Thank you." I felt a little shy. I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, feeling a bit flustered.We went to the counter, and he paid for the services. I couldn't help but feel a bit guilty at the cost.

"You guys fit perfectly together," she said with a big smile. "I can't wait for your first child!" I was taken aback by her comment, and I couldn't help but feel a bit flustered.Ethan let out an uncomfortable cough, clearly not enjoying the conversation. "Okay, Mom and Aunt, we would love to go sit down now." He tried to change the subject. "Okay, my darling," the woman who seemed to be in her late fifties said, still smiling widely. That was his mom? I was surprised - I hadn't expected her to be so sweet. She was the complete opposite of Ethan, who seemed cold and distant. I waved goodbye to them, and we headed to our seats. I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief as we sat down."I'll go get us a drink," Ethan said, his demeanor completely different from earlier. He was being a lot

"An unexpected visitor?" I repeated, my voice gentle. I took a step closer to Emily, trying to get her to meet my gaze. "Everything okay?" I asked, my tone softening."There isn't," she said, her gaze drifting away from mine. Her voice was laced with a hint of tension, and I could sense that she was hiding something.I nodded, taking note of the subtle change in Emily's demeanor. "Olivia's back," she announced, her voice neutral. I couldn't help but think of my own unwanted visitor.

I will be leaving this morning." Those words made my heart drop."Just wait until after dinner, then," I said, trying to sound casual. But E

    EMILY'S POV Liam's eyes darted around the space, his gaze lingering on every corner as if expecting someone to emerge from the shadows before finally settling on me to ask, "Did Ava speak harshly to you?” “No,” I replied, my voice firm so he couldn't see right through me, but unfortunately he did because I met a skeptical look on his face. “Emily,” he called, his voice gentle as always, "Are you hiding anything from me?" he added. His eyes locked on mine with an intense gaze. “I'm not.” I needed to be out of her. My body was here, but my mind and soul were with someone who cared least about me. I realized at that moment I was in love with Ethan. I had always known that, but what I just discovered was the connection between me and Liam-Lust. I didn't know how to put it. I didn't know how to tell him why I was giddy with excitement whenever he was around. It wasn't because I loved him; it was because I wanted to escape the sad reality of unrequited love. “Emily,” I snapped out o

I had specifically warned Emily to keep our arrangement private, and yet, here she was, meeting with...him. I narrowed my eyes, my mind racing with possibilities. What were they discussing? And why did Emily feel the need to sneak around behind my back? I made a mental note to confront Liam about this later, my eyes never leaving the fading tail lights of his car.The anger simmered beneath my surface, a slow-burning fire that threatened to consume me. I couldn't believe she would kiss me, pretend to have feelings for me, when all along she was still entangled with Liam. The thought was a bitter pill to swallow, and I felt my jaw clenched in frustration. I wasn't used to feeling this way about anyone, especially not a woman. My usual detachment, my ability to remain aloof, had been breached, and it was a disconcerting feeling.I stood in front of the s

    Emily's POV Ava's smile was a thin, cruel line. "Don't play dumb," she sneered. "I know all about the way Ethan looks at you now. The way he hangs on your every word."Ava's words hung in the air, her implication clear. I felt a surge of indignation, but I kept my tone level. "I don't know what you're insinuating, Ava," I said, "but I assure you, nothing is going on between Ethan and me."Ava's smile was a cold, calculated thing. "Even if there is something between you and Ethan," she said, her voice dripping with malice, "I promise you, it's coming to an end soon."Ava's gaze flicked to my ears, her eyes narrowing as she gestured to the earrings. "Those belong to me," she stated, her tone cold and possessive.I turned to Ava, my gaze locking onto hers. "What belongs to you?"
