2024-10-29 19:42:56Kenji had went searching for her, to find her in the living room on a call. He could only hear her side of the conversation but he already knew who it was she as on the phone with. He leaned against the door frame with his arms over his chest when he spoke to her. “Sounds like this was a good idea.”
She turned to see him there, her hand went to her chest feeling how rapidly her heart was beating. “You scared me.”
“Well, you did sneak off and haven’t helped in the kitchen.”
“I wasn’t going to be gone for long.”
“Yeah, but it would seem your call lasted longer than you thought it would. Did you mean what you said?”
“You heard that? All if it?”
“Just your side and only from when you said you wanted to open the park for free on the day of the gala.”
“Sounds like you heard almost all of it.”
“I didn’t if I’m being truthful. What made you decided to do that?”
She scratched the back of her head. “Hearing how hard you’v

Emma Jean pretended to call for him to come back. “No, come back. We have work to do.” She laughed when he looked back at her with a raised eyebrow.The other women joined in on their laughter except the one that threatened her. She clicked her tongue and stormed off. Kenji went out to the backyard where the children were playing. It appeared they were in the middle of freeze tag. He announced his presence with a question. “So, who do I have to stay away from in order to win?”All the kids surrounded him giving him a big group hug. Alexia was the one to chime in and answer his question. “Yourself. Wouldn’t be fair if you ran from us. Come on lets all run from Kenji.” The soon ran off in different directions to keep him from freezing them in place. Kenji roared as he chased after them.Kieran had gotten Sam to take him to the location Emma Jean’s phone was resting at. He had all the information and documents that sh

Emma Jean knew she was right. Taking a deep breath she got in her social media account. There were tons of mean and spiteful comments. Many calling for the park to be shut down, others telling her to kill herself. It’s the first time in her life she ever felt hated by something she said. She was about to close out of her account when Kenji took her phone away from her.“You can do this.” He started a live feed pointing the camera at himself. He gave her a chance to calm down and get her bearings. “Listen up you trolls. Calling for someone to kill themselves for making an unconscious statement is just as bad if not worse than what Emma said. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Just as she didn’t know what other people went through doesn’t mean you know what she went through either.”People that started watching the feed were sending hateful remarks. Emma Jean didn’t want him to get gated on too. She took her phone away fr
The CEO's Amusement Meet Me at the Gala
“I’m Shannon. I take it you’re the brains of the whole operations? She doesn’t seem too bright.”Kieran didn’t like anyone to talk badly about Emma Jean but for a brief moment he liked the notion that he was considered the one in charge. “I’m just the assistant. And she is my best friend so you may want to watch what you say about her in front of me.”Shannon looked up at him with a sly smile. “Sure, I won’t say anything bad about her to your face.”“I’d much rather you not say anything bad about her at all.” He started to walk away from her but stopped. He turned around to hand her his card that he pulled out from his inner jacket pocket. “Call me when you can.” He took the opportunity to leave this time.Shannon held the card up in her hand as she gave him a salute. She turned her attentions back to Emma Jean and Kenji. As if she could feel eyes on her,

Shannon watched as Emma Jean headed out of the house, finally away from them and Kenji. She didn’t want to reveal herself to be his classmate just yet. It’s not like she was embarrassed of her current state, more so she would rather he not look upon her with pity. Kenji stayed at the shelter a little longer helping out with the kids.Kieran had waited for her out in the car with Sam. The two men sat in silence until Emma Jean emerged from the inside. Kieran watched as she walked towards them with her head held high. He had been going over their social media account since she did the apology video. The comments were favorable for the company. More people commented on how the two of them looked wonderful together. He hated those comments. Same exited the car to open the door for her. Kieran stayed rooted to his spot when she slides inside.“Kieran, did you finish getting everything prepared for the gala? Is there something else that needs to be done?&rd

“You wouldn’t hit me anyway.” He opened the front door to allow her to go through. “Besides, you love me and violence is never the answer.”“She clicked her tongue. “Stop spouting off the truth.”He laughed at her. Kieran loved this side of Emma Jean. This was the woman he knew, not the person she was pretending to be. “Help me choose a color?”“Why not just go with the standard black?”“Or I could match with you?”She tilted her head to the right, confused by what he had said. “Match? With me? Why? We aren’t dating.”“We could be by then.”“No, I’m pretty sure we wouldn’t be. Listen instead of worrying about dating me why don’t you focus on work. You wanted to get back to work. So focus on that instead of romancing your best friend that just so happens to be your boss too.”“So i

Sam realized a little too late he let his true feeling out. Emma Jean knew he had reservations of his relationship but not to this extent. She couldn’t say anything to him, knowing he didn’t want sympathy she changed the subject. “So, I asked Kenji to come to the Gala.”He was grateful for the change in subject. “You asked him to be your date?”“Not really. I asked him to meet me there.”He sighed. “What if he doesn’t show up?”“If he doesn’t show up, he doesn’t show up.”“I may have only worked with you for a little while, but even I can tell that you would be brokenhearted if he don’t show up.”“Hush. Let me pretend to be strong when I want to be.”Sam pulled her in for a sideways hug. At that time Kieran came out of the store with his suit in his hand. He narrowed his eyes seeing the two of them in that position.

Kenji had decided against going to the gala but Mrs. Jackson got him to change his mind. “I know that Emma girl asked you to go to her charity event. You should go.”“Nah, Mrs. Jackson. It’s fine. She made her amends and it’s alright if I don’t show up.”She grabbed onto his ear pulling him down to her eye level. “Go put on a nice suit and go. She waiting on you. That young lady likes you.”“Ow, Mrs. Jackson. She already has someone that likes her.”She let’s go of him. “You young folks don’t know how to listen. I swear you can’t listen with your eyes? She invited you specifically. She wants you there cause she likes you.”“How you listen with your eyes?”“Don’t you sass me. Go get ready. I better see you there. I’m not about to put on my good hair and you don’t event bother to show up.” She walked away, miffed at his

Johnny was unaware of the pair of eyes on him. He entered the venue, in awe of the way Emma Jean could pull together something so elegant. He was wandering around seeing the different kinds of people she had begun to associate herself with. Young and old alike they all were from different backgrounds. When he had seen the video of her voicing her opinion, he had hoped she would be the cause of ruin for the company. He knew of several corporations that would have liked to take over the company.Emma Jean knew he was employed by her because he was now there, forgetting that she had opened the event to any and everyone that wanted to attend. Her heart started to race as the anxiety she was feeling started to take over. She clutched at her chest and lowered her head. She tried to take deep calming breaths to no avail. Kenji could tell that she wasn’t herself. He looked around to see if there was someone that could help him. Everyone seemed to be busy enjoying themselves. He

Emma Jean stood there with her hands covering her mouth. Tears we’re streaming down her eyes. She was in shock, words failed her at that moment. She could only nod her head yes. “You will?” She finally found her voice. “Yes! Don’t be ridiculous.” Kenji picked her up, spinning her around. “You have no idea how happy that makes me.” He peppered her face in kisses. “Come with me.” He put her down on the porch. Rummaging through his pants pocket he pulled out the keys to the house. He headed straight to unlock the door. When he looked at her, she was confused. A tiny smile formed on his lips. “What’s this?” “Just follow me. I promise it’ll be worth your while.” He took her hand and lead her up the stairs. The sound of their footsteps echoed in the unfurnished house. They reached the top of the steps. Kenji took her to the master bedroom. There he opened the door and stood just at the entrance. Inside, were Sandra and Rowan holding a dress

Emma Jean looked in the rearview mirror to see his head disappeared. She got concerned and was about to get out of the car when he stood back up. She placed her hand to her chest and breathed. When he got in the car, she turned to him. “You nearly gave me a heart attack?”He looked puzzled for a moment then realized what she was referring to. “I didn’t disappear or felt ill. Just needed to tie my shoes is all. Is this your way of saying you love me more than air?”She turned away from him, folding her arms over her chest. “I didn’t say that.”“You’re so cute when you pout.”“You'll be cute with a swollen lip?”Kenji started the car. And sounded overly cheerful. “Does that mean your going to kiss me until they are swollen from your love?”Emma Jean couldn’t say anything back after that. She just decided to be quiet and enjoy the ride. Kenji knew what she really meant but nothing could bring him down. He had a plan to give her the romantic proposal she woul
The CEO's Amusement Epilogue
Six months had past since that incident with Shannon. Emma Jean had been sitting in her office working on plans for the parks new attraction while also watching a rough cut of a new movie the company had started to work on. A knock came from her door causing her to look up. She smiled when he entered the office. “What are you doing here?” Kenji was dressed up in a suit and carrying a mixed bouquet. Roses, carnations, lilies, daisies, and baby’s breath were wrapped in an elegant purple paper. “I came to see the most beautiful woman in the world.” She smiled at him and looked down at her swollen belly. “You only say that because I’m pregnant and hormonal. You’re trying to appease me first thing.” He handed her the flowers then stole a kiss from her lips. “Not at all. I really believe you are the most beautiful woman in the world. And you are all mines.” She took the flowers and placed them on her desk. She smiled while looking at him. She couldn

Emma jean had hoped that would keep her occupied long enough to get out of the house safely so the police could handle her but as soon as she reached the door to turn it a shot rang close to her ear. She looked to see a bullet hole in the corner of the door’s hinges. She turned around to see Shannon barely standing. She sent a silent prayer up to her daddy for making sure she had a learned some defensive moves. “That was the last bullet in the chamber you know.”Shannon held the gun up weakly while still holding onto her stomach. “You think I didn’t load the bullets back in the chamber? You would be stupid if you thought otherwise.”Emma jean looked from the door handle to Shannon. Her eyes were slightly narrowed as she raised her eyebrows. “You wouldn’t have had enough time to load them.”“You want to test that theory?” She stood up straighter an pointed the gun towards her.“So you&

Detective Hanson sighed. This wasn’t an ideal hostage situation but nothing is ideal when you have mentally disturbed people involved. He scratched his head with free hand. “Ok, so you’ll let his parents and Emma Jean go?” Emma jean answered for herself. “No, Kenji needs to reject me in front of her. I have to stay. Just worry about his parents and not about me.” “Yes, she understands the situation so don’t get in our way. Once he tells me he loves me and not her then we can all end this as peacefully as we can. Don’t try anything funny.” Detective Hanson gulped knowing what the end result would be. “We won’t. I’m sending someone in now.” He motioned for one of his men to go forward unarmed to get the couple. The man knocked on the door and opened it. He walked into seeing Emma Jean being held with a gun to her head. Her hands were balled into a fist. He thought he seen something but shook his head. Shannon motioned to the kitchen. “Hurry and

Shannon angled her head to the left. Her eyebrow was arched. “Did you just threaten me?” Her voice raised with each word. He realized just a bit too late that he fucked up. “Shannon, no I didn’t threaten you. I just want my dad to be there for when we get married. You don’t have any family, do you? Wouldn’t you want him to walk you down the aisle?” He was hoping that would make her think logically about it. “Oh, you’re right. I want to be as close to my in laws to the point where they think of me as the daughter they never had.” She raised the gun to her lips while smiling. “But you did threaten me so you need to be punished.” She raised her hand in the air that wielded the gun and struck him across the side of his face. Kenji crumpled to the ground. She hit him hard enough to be knocked unconscious. Sandra screamed. “Kenji? Kenji? Wake up honey please?” “Oh, shut up mom. He’s fine you shouldn’t worry so much.” She took the bandana that she was holdin

Kenji stepped in front of Emma Jean. He put himself in front of Shannon to keep her from firing. He wanted to know where his parents were. “Shannon? Where are my parents?”“Aww you’re more concerned about them than that little bitch. Then maybe you should move out of the way so that I can just end her miserable life.”Emma Jean wanted to say something but knew that it would only aggravate her even more. Kenji shook his head. “No, we’re talking about my parents. What did you do with them? I know you wouldn’t hurt them.”“Of course, I wouldn’t. Unless they said something so disgusting as that thing being their daughter in law over me. Tell me the truth you don’t love her. You can’t see yourself with her?”Emma Jean gently tugged on his shirt trying to get his attention. Wanting to tell him it was ok if he diminished his feelings for her to calm Shannon down.

They were in the middle of their second movie when the storm seemed to ease enough for them to head back to his parents place. The two of them looked at each other. It was silent except for the sounds of the movie playing in the background. Emma Jean was about to say something when Kenji received a message from an unknown number.[Your parents are really nice.] a picture was attached with the back of his parents in the frame showing.Kenji bolted right up. Not sure who it was or who was in his house. He sent a reply back. [Who is this?] He started to call his mom first. It rang several times before going to voicemail. He tried the house phone it made a loud screeching sound signaling it was off the hook. He tried his mothers cell again. Nothing.Emma Jean looked at him worriedly. “What’s going on? You look panicked?”Before he could answer another text came in. [its just your soulmate. Your parents think im the better match for you now.
