The Billionaires Bargain MOVING IN
At that point, Emily knew they were up to something, Elise would never offer to do something nice for her without taking something bigger in return. “Sister, pregnancy is a big deal, you don't have to do it alone, I want to be here for you” Elise words sounded alien to Emily's ear, Elise would never be intentionally nice to her. “Sister in-law, I think that's a really good idea, it'd be better to have someone by your side especially family.” Angelica said. “Family??” Emily laughed sarcastically.“I don't think my husband would be comfortable with that.” she said maintaining eye contact with Brian. “W…well” Brian stuttered. “That's fine, if you're okay with it” he said, immediately feeling uncomfortable. “Sister, I know we have our bad sides, but this is for your own good” Elise lifted the corner of her mouth in a sly smile. A part of Emily wanted to believe her “maybe she's trying to make amend” she thought… “Okay” she said “I'll

Brian got back from work and found Emily at the courtyard, ravishing as always, he stopped and stared from a distance, it hasn't been long since they met each other, but something about her brings peace to his heart whenever they were together. He recalled the doctor telling him that the only way he could heal, is by finding peace in a person. “Could she be the one?” He thought; but the doctor also told him that the person leaving him in the future would only make things worse. So he had always tried his best to completely stay away from people, but with Emily it was different, she was different, the way she talks, the way she acts, it all felt different to Brian. Emily noticed he was staring and waved from the distance. “Hey, you're back from work” “Yeah, I uhm just got back,___ I'll be heading to my room now” he was about to leave but he immediately remembered something. “I checked in with the doctor, he said you haven't been coming around for

Brian wasn't ready for that conversation, but looking at Emily, he could tell that she was not ready to let him be either. “Okay Emily, I wouldn't call it a mental disorder, it's not even that serious, it's just that, being around people suffocate me, people make me uncomfortable, that's all, not that serious” “No Brian, it is that serious, I read about it and it shows that people with SPD (schizoid personality disorder) has really high chance of suffering from depression, not being able to navigate your emotions is that serious, and you go through all this by yourself” Brian could feel the sincerity in Emily's voice, no one has ever talk to him with so much concern. “You don't need to worry about me Emily, I'm fine, you should worry about yourself and the baby” “But Brian you don't…..” “We should go now” Brian said as he immediately started the car.

Emily was surprised that Brian could call her, she wondered what he wanted to say, “ Hey” she said as she picked up.“Hi,” Brian's deep voice sounded from the other end. “I was in a hurry when I left for this business trip and I forgot to inform you, I'm letting you know, so you don't have to be worried about me” Brian voice was so deep yet soft and soothing. “It's okay, I understand, Nina already told me by the way” Emily thought about telling him about her meeting with the doctor, but she didn't want to ruin the moment. “Okay, I'll hang up now” Brian said and he hung up. Emily sat on her bed, she couldn't hold back her excitement. “What is wrong with me?” she said to herself. “I can't fall for him, this is strictly business” “This pregnancy is making me lose my mind I guess' ' she said as she entered the bathroom to go take a shower.******** It was morning, Emily was seated on her bed, she thought about calling Angelic

She held Brian's hands and they both walked into the showroom. "Hey Brian" a man said as he walked up to Brian and gave him a soft hug. "Hey Wilton" Brian replied. Emily couldn't believe that she was standing with Mr Wilton, and did Brian just call him by his name, wow. "Thanks for coming under short notice" Mr Wilton said "Oh and who's this beauty to behold?"

"What is wrong with me?, why am I mad at him?, it wasn't his fault, I think I'm being too mean" Emily said to herself as she took a bite from the sandwich that Brian gave her. "I should talk to him" she said as she put the food down and headed to Brian's room. Brian's door was slightly opened, so she walked inside and met him focused on his laptop.

"No sis, he took advantage of me, he wanted to forcefully sleep with me" Elise said, on the ground holding Emily's feet. " How dare you lie to my face Elise?, he took advantage of you, but you were the only naked person in the room, I knew you were up to no good, If Nina had not sent me that video on time, who knows what you would have done" Emily said, her voice filled with rage. "What video" Elise said filled with curiosity. "A video of you lacing Brian's drink" Emily said as she brought out her phone, and played the video on loud speaker.

As she walked into her room, she could hear murmured voices emanating from Brian's room. Raising her eyebrow, she felt intrigued about whom Brian was speaking with at that moment. To quench her curiosity, Elise stood by the door moving slowly like a cockroach that no one could suspect her, the atmosphere was quiet and transparent . As she moved stealthily towards the entrance Emily pressed her ear to the wood, she widened her eyes upon recognizing Emily's voice. “Emily again!" She whispers to herself. Elise paid more attention so she could hear their conversation clearly. After much attention, Elise was so shocked that their discussion was filled with passion and love but also with tension.

The Billionaires Bargain BRIAN'S ANGER
Brian's knuckles grazed against Emily's door, his eyes fixed on the wooden panel as if willing her to appear. The soft knock echoed through the silence, a gentle plea for forgiveness. He had been replaying their awkward encounter nonstop, the memory of his misread signals and the kiss that followed burning his cheeks with embarrassment. Yet, he knew he needed to apologize, to clear the air of the tension that now hung between them like a thick fog."Emily, can we talk?" he asked, his voice low and gentle, a soft breeze on a summer day. The door creaked open, and Emily's face peeked out, her eyes avoiding his like a child hiding from a scolding. Her voice was barely above a whisper, a delicate petal that might shatter if handled roughly. "What's up, Brian?"Brian's heart sank, his hopes of a warm reception dashed on the rocks of Emily's evasion.

Emily's hands, still damp from the shower, left faint water spots on the table as she placed the cup of milk down.

He strode towards her with a fluid grace, his long legs eating up the distance with a confident stride. Emily's heart skipped a beat as he stopped inches from her, his warmth radiating towards her like a gentle heat wave. The scent of his cologne wafted towards her, a subtle blend of spices and leather that sent a shiver down her spine."Hey," he replied, his deep voice low and husky, like the rumble of thunder on a summer evening. He gestured to the chair beside her, his hand moving with a slow, deliberate grace. "May I?" he asked,
