“Congratulations Emily, you have really worked hard, you deserve all the success in the world, I am really proud of you “, Nora said as she hugged me. “ Thank you Nora”. “Congratulations mummy”, Mia said with a sweet innocent voice as she hugged me. “Thank you sweetheart “, I said as I patted her head. “ I love you so much mummy, I am really proud of you “, Mia continued. “Auntie we are all proud of you, Congratulations”, Riley came forward too, and congratulated me as she hugged me.

“Good morning Miss Rosa”, I said as I greeted her warmly. “ Good morning too dear”, Miss Rosa replied with a faint aura of distress, leaving me concerned. I gazed at her intensely and asked, “what's wrong Miss Rosa? I noticed you haven't been okay since yesterday”. She glanced around nervously, ensuring we were alone before focusing on me again. Her eyes locked onto mine, hesitant to speak openly. “ Can I trust you Miss Emily “, she said as she looked at me cautiously, her voice barely above a whisper. My jaw furrowed and concern etched my face as I leaned in, “Yes please, you can trust me”, I said as my heart raced with concern. “It was Camilla”, she said as her hands fidgeted, betraying her nervousness. “Camilla, who is Camilla?”I asked anxiously. “Camilla is Riley's mother, she said she is coming back”. “Then why are you worried Miss Rosa, don't you want her to come back to the city”, her tone was a breathless eager rush as if she feared being interrupted. “ No.., tha

“Thank you so much for accepting my offer Emily, I am looking forward to doing great business with you, you're a really hard working lady, our company needs people like you”, Liam said as he maintained eye contact. “I am the one who should say thank you, I can never be able to repay the amount of kindness you have shown me, even with my life”.“You don't need to repay me in any way, it's your hard work and dedication that has enabled you to reach here today, for that you should be proud of yourself”, he said, with a smile across his face. A radiant smile illuminated my face, “but before I start working, I will need a lot of guidance to know more about how your day to day activities run, I hope you won't mind”, I spoke with a low and serious tone. “Not at all, my secretary still has a week before she resigns, she can assist you with that, you can start working today so that by the time she leaves you are familiar with everything”“Today….!”, I exclaimed in surprise. “Yes, today, do

“Why was she here, never let her in again, understood”, Mr. Liam spat out the words in anger. I could pick up the words even when I was outside. As soon as their conversation ended, Mr. Liam walked out, he brushed past me without breaking his stride. I slowly walked back in, Miss Sofia was on phone, talking to someone. “Yes please, don't let anyone else meet her, thank you”, she said, and hang up the call. “Is anything wrong miss Sofia”, I asked politely. “ No…nothing”, she stammered as her gaze darted away, avoiding eye contact. She walked towards the table and started organizing the documents. “Help me with these, you need to arrange them according to the date and urgency”, she said as she handed some documents over to me. ************** As the evening unfolded, It was time to leave the company. Not a word was spoken by Mr. Liam during the journey. A shadow of worry crossed his face, evident in his eyes. He didn't seem himself, I sensed something was wrong, but I chose not

His eyes locked onto mine, there was a moment of complete silence. My eyes flashed away, avoiding the intensity of the moment, seeking refuge from the emotional weight. Mr. Liam raised his hands on my shoulders, a gentle but firm pressure, his touch sending a shiver down my spine. “Emily, please marry me”, the words spilled from his lips once more, this time greater urgency. In that moment, time froze, and all that existed was the weight of his words and the confusion he unleashed within me. The world around me melted away, leaving only the echoing question and my own thundering heartbeat. I was shocked and surprised by Liam's proposal. “What did you just say?”, I asked, astonishment etched across my face, a stack and an unmissable declaration of my surprise. “ You heard me right, Please marry me Emily, I know this has come out of nowhere but please accept my proposal”, he spoke, his voice trembling with a note of desperation. His eyes had a wild desperate glint. “Liam, what do

“How do you know that name, I have never mentioned it to you”, Liam asked, curiously. “I overheard your conversation with Miss Sofia yesterday, and Miss Rosa told me about her”, I replied. Liam was rendered speechless by the sudden question, “ Does this marriage have anything to do with Miss Camilla's return”, I continued with the questioning. He gazed at me for a moment, clearly surprised by the words I spilled out. “Yes”, he replied firmly. “ I and Camilla had a very messy and bitter affair, it was toxic, we got divorced under harsh circumstances. She is a very cunning lady. “If you're divorced, then why do you care whether she returns to the city or not”. “You won't understand Emily, the divorce was against her will, she was forced into it by the circumstances. She has clearly come back for me”, Liam said, you could easily sense the intensity of emotions in his words. “Then how will our marriage stop her”, I inquired politely. “This marriage will be a fortress, protecting me

“Hey, are you okay Emily”, Mr. Liam asked upon seeing how changed my expression was. I quickly hang up the call, midway, and put the phone behind my back. “ Yah…, yah…”, I Stammered. “Okay, I think you can take your bags to the guest room, we were still preparing your rooms”, Liam said as he stretched out his hands, pointing towards the direction of the guest room. “Miss Rosa, please come lead Miss Emily”.I quickly grabbed my bags and walked towards the guest room. Upon resting down my bags. My thoughts kept drifting back to the call. I couldn't shake off the conversation I had on the call earlier. “It was Harrison, am sure, It was Harrison”, I murmured to myself, barely above a whisper. “Hey Emily, is everything okay, who was it on the call, you seem to be disturbed”, Nora asked upon seeing how distracted I was. “Nora, you won't believe it, the call earlier, I think it was Harrison”, my voice trembled with fear as I spoke. “ Harrison!”, Nora exclaimed, clearly surprised. “Yah,

“Why are you all so shocked to see me, ain't you happy”, she opened her arms as she spoke. Riley quickly rose from her seat and ran towards her father, hiding behind his back, as if she was scared. “ What are you doing here”, Liam spoke with a fierce gesture as he snarled. “Calm down sweetie, that's not a way to welcome your love home”, Camilla said as a mischievous smile played on her lips. She turned her gaze and looked at Riley, who was hiding behind Liam. “ Riley, come here baby, ain't you happy to see mummy”, she spread out her arms, reaching out for a hug. “Why are you here, you haven't answered my question”, Liam's voice took on a sharper edge. “ Go back to where you're from, we don't need you”, Riley sobbed out the words. “Riley baby, that's not a way to behave with your mother, didn't daddy teach you any manners”, she said with a low, menacing tone as she slowly bit her lips. “Why are you here Camilla”, Liam spoke with a voice filled with rage. Camilla's gaze Lingered

“What is it about Emily, why are you staring like that?”, Liam asked curiously.I stared into space for a moment, “Harrison really has the nerves”, I bit my teeth in anger as I spoke. Liam snatched the paper out of my hands, running his eyes through it. “This man is really crazy”, he uttered. How could he think of filing for Mia's custody after everything he has done”.“Harrison really has the nerves”, I exclaimed in dismay. “Even before Mia is well, what kind of father is he!”.“Don't worry Emily, how could he even think he can get Mia's custody, that will never happen, because I can never let him take Mia away from you”. Liam's voice laced with outrage as he spoke. “I am here for you Emily, you're not alone, and I will make sure you win this case, for that I promise”.I gazed at Liam in awe, wondering how he managed to maintain his kindness towards me, even after the hurt I had caused him in the past few days. I studied his face, searching for any sign of resentment but all I saw w

“I think Mia is doing okay now, her condition is not life threatening, thank you Mia, for fighting hard”, the doctor said with a playful tone. “ Thank you so much doctor, nothing could have been possible without your help, but I have a request”, Liam spoke. “What is it Mr. Grant”.“I would like to take Mia home today, you can give me a nurse to stay over, I will cover all the bills”.“Okay Mr. Grant, as you say, let me go and complete the paperwork. I will be back in no time”.“Okay doctor, I will be waiting”.“Where do you think you're going, Emily?” Harrison said as soon as the doctor stepped out. “I am going home Sir, any problem”, I shot back. “I don't care where you go, you are not taking Mia with you”, his voice took on a sharper edge. I fiercely looked into his eyes, and smirked, as though what he just said was a joke. “Do you suffer from memory loss or what?”, I uttered. “Since when did you start loving Mia”.“Mia is my daughter, why wouldn't I love her”.I let out a low

Harrison darted his gaze back and forth at Mia and me, “uhmm, what do you mean baby”, he stammered. “Exactly what you heard, I am my mother's daughter, only her's”, Mia said firmly, without a hint of fear in her voice. “Mia”, I hurriedly called her name, urgency in my voice. She slowly shifted her gaze towards me, “What is it mummy?, am I saying anything wrong”, she proceeded. “What kind of nonsense did you feed into my daughter”, Harrison said as he slowly moved his head, gazing into my direction, “I am the one talking to you, why are you looking at her”, Mia spoke confidently. I stared at Mia with an unrelenting gaze, astonished by the courage she had at just 10 years old. Her bold and daring attitude was way more than her age. As I watched the fearlessness in her eyes, tears pricked at the corner of my eyes as I wondered how much Mia had matured, even at such a young age. “Since when did you start talking to me like that dear, look I am your father”, Harrison c

“Mia… Mia..!”I stammered, my heart was racing, making it hard to get my words out. “Yes mummy”, She proceeded. “Right from the time we were still with daddy, I always knew he didn't like us. But I didn't want to show it in front of you, I knew how much you indured everything for me, I couldn't shatter you by the fact that I knew anything”. As I listened to her, tears began to fall. But I was so absorbed in the moment, I couldn't wipe them away. I couldn't believe it was Mia who spilled out such thoughtful and mature words at such a young age. “Mia..!”, I murmured, as tears rolled down my cheeks. “I am a grown up woman now, please don't do anything wrong for my sake mama, especially not going back to Harrison”, her tone became more urgent as she spoke. “ Baby..! “, since when…… ?”, “Since the day I got you crying on the floor, even though you tried hiding it so well, I knew something was certainly wrong”. My gaze glued on her, my eyes fixed on her in utter disbelief. “Ba

A warm smile spread across Mia's face as her eyes sparkled. Her face glowed with happiness, a look of pure delight flashed across her face. “Really mummy, she said excitedly”.“ Yes baby”, I replied as I smiled widely. “He is just out, he will be here any minute, I am sure you missed him so much”.“Yes mummy I… ..!”. Mia's words were cut short by a knock on the door. We both turned our gaze towards the door, “Hello Princess…!”It was Harrison. He steadily walked closer with his arms spread wide open ready for a hug. “I missed you so much my baby”, Harrison said as he gave Mia a hug. Tears started to well up in Mia's eyes as she hugged her father, she slowly pulled back, and wiped the tears that were threatening to fall. “What is it Mia?, why are you crying?”Harrison asked as he slowly wiped Mia's tears. Mia smiled amidst her sobs. “Nothing Dad, I just missed you”, she whispered. “I am here now baby, I will never leave you again love, I promise”.Tears of joy pricked at the corner o

I stood still, staring at Nora as she disappeared into space. “I am not sorry”, I whispered, trying to convince myself. “ Don't you worry about anyone else, I am right here Emily”, Harrison said as he placed his hands on my shoulder. I flinched a bit, responding to his touch. “I am okay”, I whispered barely above my sobs. Suddenly the phone rang, it was Harrison's phone. His gaze flicked over the phone, then away, as if unsure what to do. “Excuse me Emily, let me take this call”. He said as he cupped his phone over the phone, muffling the conversation as he moved away. I hesitated and then slowly sat down as if unsure. I thought back to the fact that I had chose Harrison over Liam and Nora, my best friend, and the pain I had caused her by going back to Harrison. “I am sorry Nora, Please forgive me, but I had to do this, for Mia”, I whispered to myself, as tears flowed down uncontrollably. It was a difficult decision for me but I had to do it, for Mia. I had lost Nora's trust

I stared at him with unrelenting focus. “Why are you staring at me like that Emily”, he asked, confusion etched on his face. “I need to make some things clear to you, before you get your expectations high”, I stated, my voice low and serious. “I am only getting back to you because of Mia, the doctor said she should avoid stress”, I said as I darted my gaze away. “Whatever the reason is, I don't care Emily, as long as your back, that's what matters to me”.He moved closer and placed his hands on my shoulders. “Trust me Emily”, he whispered. “I will do everything so that we go back to how we were”. “Just forget about that”, I murmured. “Haaa…”, he exclaimed. “Nothing”, let's go see Mia's condition”. I said as I turned away, ready to leave. Harrison followed closely behind me. ************************* As we approached Nora, I saw her expression change even before we reached her, I noticed it even from a distance. As we finally got closer to her, her eyes flashed with a fierc

Liam stumbled backwards, his eyes darting between us as if searching for answers. I shifted my gaze at Harrison. “Are you done”, I asked softly. “Yes dear, I am done”, he said as he turned his gaze towards Liam, who stood stiff. “What are you two doing here alone, where is Nora?”, Harrison asked as he glanced around. “Who are you to ask”, Liam asked furiously. “Emily is my wife, we can talk about whatever we want”.“Emily is mine, she may be your wife now, but she was mine first, and I am going to take her back from you” “Don't be so sure”.“ Of course I am, right Emily”, Harrison said as he turned his gaze towards me. “Can you both stop this, you're not kids anymore”, I said, my tone firm and fed up. “Emily, you should ask your fake husband to shut up”, Harrison said as he pointed a finger at Liam. My eyebrows shot up in surprise, and I shot a glance at Liam. His face lit with surprise too, he gazed at me continuously, and let out a sigh of disbelief. “ Emily, don't tell me you

Liam locked his gaze on me, for a moment without saying a word. “Why are you just staring at me, I thought we had come to talk”, I murmured softly, maintaining my gaze. “Yes, there are some things I want us to talk about”, he said firmly as he moved closer to me. “I want us to talk about our marriage”. My eyebrows knitted together as I tried to understand. “Wait, what do you mean?”I asked curiously. He slowly lifted his hands and placed them on my shoulder.“ Emily, I am talking about our marriage, me and you”, his tone turned cold, more serious and scary. “L..iam”, I stammered. “Are you talking about the marriage we all know is fake?”, my voice trembled as I spoke. “To you it may be fake, but to me… !”, he paused for a minute before continuing. “To me it's not”, he spoke, his voice filled with vulnerability. “L…iam”. “Yes Emily, So please don't abandon me for Harrison, please Emily, I need you too, Emily please”, he begged. His words washed over me, leaving me breathless
