Met Aaron for the first time.Emily walked limply pulling her suitcase towards the Mansion. Dorothy offered to walk her, Emily refused and said she was fine. Ruth kept apologizing because Emily had to go through this terrible tragedy because of her and it made Emily sad. She did everything willingly, and her mother would know that.She wiped her years with the back of her hand, the only thing that could cheer her up was that soon she would be able to carry Aaron, something she hadn't done since she gave birth to Aaron from her womb.Emily pressed the elevator to the third floor, were all the main rooms where located. At the end of the hall, she was greeted by Sara, Sara's face was blank and unsympathetic, the same as Dorothy used to be when they weren't friends."This way," Sara said, walking ahead of Emily into the nursery. Along with her footsteps, Emily heart was beating so fast that it was deafening. Meeting Aaron was something that means a lot to her. They stopped at a white door
Offer from BrittanyIn the afternoon after she finish bathing Aaron, she put him in a stroller and pushed him to the door. Apart from the schedule she had to follow, she also felt happy taking Aaron out for a walk.When she came out of the room she met Lindsay who seemed to have just returned from her divorce trial with Darius Specter which had not been completed because of the disputed property.She stepped closer to Emily who was standing still holding the stroller. Fora moment she thought Lindsay would continue her temper, but instead, she bent down and stared at Aaron from a close distance. Maybe she wanted to tease her grandson like a grandmother used to do, but she felt embarrassed and stiffed because Emily was there. So she just adjust Aaron's blanket, then straightened herself up again and walked off to her room without a word.While humming Emily pushed the stroller into the garden area every now and then she would stop and talk to Aaron as if he understood the words she was
Suicide Temptations.Emily had just returned from the park after taking Aaron from a walk it's been almost three days since she has not seen or passed Gabriel anywhere in the Mansion, did she miss him? yes, of course but she couldn't do anything about it.At least Aaron's presence would distract her. With Aaron the day has become much fuller and more colourful.When she opening the door to Aaron's room, she suddenly heard the sound of glasses being thrown and shattered from Lindsay's room. She hurriedly laid Aaron into the crib and then went back down the hall to check if the sound was still there.A few moments later the noises started repeating and she could hear Sara squealing loudly.Subconsciously her feet moved quickly towards Lindsay room and opened the door without even Knocking.She was surprised to see messy room with broken glasses scattered everywhere and what surprised her even more Lindsay who was holding broken flower vase made of glass and pointing it at her wrist, a f
Let's StopThe door, opened few maids came in and cleaned up Lindsay's messy room. Soon Gabriel emerged panting, staring at his mother With worried face,while Brittany followed behind him.Emily got to her feet, returned back the first aid kit to the bathroom and hurried to the exit.Her gaze fall on Gabriel who being cradled by Brittany. There was a real stab in her chest but she chose to leave immediately. Gabriel wanted to chase Emily but he has to go and see his mother.Finally, as always his mother took the number one priority.Emily went into Aaron's room and closed it lightly. She didn't understand why Gabriel was always together with Brittany, didn't Gabriel tell her that he would never marry that woman? or did Brittany succeed in making Gabriel fell in love with her?As her mind was filled with all kinds of bad thoughts, Aaron's cry echoed through the room, startled her she rushed over to Aaron and rocked him. Looking into his clear eyes, made Emily's heart feel much calmer fo
Emily to the Rescue.Gabriel's jaw tightened, he looked at Emily with teary eyes. "your excuses make me even more unable to separate from you, but you must know one thing, even if you're tired of waiting for the right moment to come, I will stand by my words, I will by my words, I will not marry any other woman until we can be together, you have my words!" Gabriel said, then turned around and left the room with a tight feeling in his chest.The tightness arose Because he felt sorry for Emily who had to endure the pain alone. Emily always puts her happiness behind her and let's someone else get it. His powerless to make Emily happy which made him very miserable and sad.After Gabriel disappeared from the door Emily slumped into the floor and wept softly. Maybe it was the time for her to forget everything and moved on. Everything would be fine she was sure if it.Emily patted her back gently. Hugging herself could often make her feel better.*****After the divorce of Lindsay and Darius
Old friendIt's was a beautiful morning, Emily woke up early because she wanted to see the surprise, Lately she often looked for small pleasure to make her happy. It wasn't easy to get Gabriel out of her mind, especially since they were in the same place even though Emily had avoided him as much as possible.She put on her coat, pocketed the baby monitor so she could hear Aaron woke up, she will then ran fast to the room later. But it looks like will be asleep for a long time because she'd just him earlier and he'd been up for almost all night.She walked leisurely towards the artificial lake while rubbing her palms together because of cold air. No one has up, because usually everyone started their activities by 6:00 am.As arranged by nature, she passed Gabriel I the middle of the garden. Gabriel looked disheveled his shirt were rolled to his elbow but that didn't detract from his handsomeness at all.Emily's heart was was pounding hard but she tried to act normal. She nodded politel
She's Out!"This is a total surprise! I didn't expect us to meet here! I mean, the last time w met was at the granduation ceremony in the high school right?" Trey muttered as he looked at Emily in amazements, while in front of him Emily just grimaced from bing too surprised.Emily nodded,. "yeah, you're absolutely right. Umm, can we start now?" Emily asked, looking down at Aaron who was still busy playing with his fingers. Trey seemed to immediately realize what he was doing in the Mansion, "Ah, of course, come on in!" he took a step back and watch Emily push the stroller quickly into the room."So are Mr Specter junior's parents coming here? or are you the only one representing them?" Trey asked, washing his hands in the sink."Just me,"Emily answered, she hoped Trey would soon work professionally as a doctor and stop talking about the past or about what Emily did I the mansion. "So you have been working here for a long time?" asked Trey pulling up a chair In front Emily and sitting
Burning DesireEmily paced back and forth after Dorothy have left the room, Lindsay must not be feeling well right now, after Brittany had told everyone she tried to commit suicide, so many times now no one would see her the same way again.Honestly, Emily was worried about her condition.She slowly opened the door, peered out of the room and Lindsay's door was still open. She could faintly hear Gabriel's voice, which seemed to be persuading his mother not to be sad and do things she would regret.Maybe Emily should have been happy that Brittany had finally left the mansion, but she was surprised she did feel that way and instead felt sad about Lindsay's condition now.While he was still peeking, Gabriel suddenly came out of the room and close the door, he saw Emily rushing to pull her head into the room.A few seconds later, he was sitting on the sofa in Aaron's room with Emily sitting next to him."I'm sure you already know what happened ," Gabriel said looking down at his fingers.
Dante Di Sione felt the adrenaline pumping through his body as he walked into the tiny airport terminal. His heart was pounding and his forehead was beaded with sweat. He felt like he'd been running. Or just rolled away from a woman after bout of particularly energetic sex. Even though it was a long time since he could even remember having sex. He frowned. How long? His mind raced back over the past few weeks spent chasing across continents and fitting in and out of different time zones. He'd visited a dizzing array of countries, been presented with a whole shoal of red heerings and wandered uo against several dead ends before arriving here, in the carribean. All in pursuit of a priceless pices of jewellery which his grandfather wanted for a reasons he'd declined to share. Dante felt the tight clench of his heart. A dying man's wish. Yet wasn't the truth that he had been tantalized by the task he'd been given which he had taken on as a favour to someone who had given him so much?
"Come and sit in the shade,' Dante said lazily. I don't want you getting burned.'Willow pushed her straw hat back and smiled up into her husband's face. 'i'm unlikely to burn when you insist on applying factor fifty to my skin ar every opportunity, am I?''True. Infact , I think you need another application right now,' he murmured, rising to his feet and standing over her. 'come here.''Tjat sound like another excuse for you to start rubbing cream into my body.''You really think I need excuse, Mrs Di Sione? "he growl, lifting her off the sun lounger and heading her inside to the air-conditioned cool of their beachside house.Willow bit her lip with sheer pleasure as she felt his lips whisper over throat. This kung she couldn't remember over her throat, thinking she couldn't remember ever feeling so happy. Or lucky. So very lucky. For the past month they'd been honeymooning in a carribean beach house, while nearby the crystal waters lapped contentedly against sugar-fine-sands. Thay
"Hmm?" He blinked. "A while ago, when I said I didn't know Herb, did you say you knew that?" "Yes." "When did you know?" "Almost immediately." She frowned, as she worked on that sentence. "I'll help with Mutt. The dogs accept cats fairly well, but a strange dog has to be introduced." While they were doing that, Salty rang the bell for dinner and automatically Georgia showed Luke where to wash. "Did you leave me because I didn't tell you about the Molly Q sinking? I was afraid, if you knew, you 'd leave me." "No Because you asked me if Herb was good as you. You offended me. You made me sound like a bed-hopper. I told you I didn't know any Herb." "I was sure you didn't and I only meant to tease, to make you say I was a good lover. I would never try to offend you." She was silent. Luke wanted to hold her. He wasn't sure she'd allow it. He asked, " How's your arm?" " Just fine. You can hardly see the marks any more." " Lete see." So when he had her arm in his hands, he couldn
Just about then, since there was an hour's time difference, it was after four o'clock at the Montana Electronics company, Inc. In Indianapolis, Indiana.Luke was frowning at the walls as phone in his hand rang yet again. Where was she? How long did it take to go out . Where was she? How long did it take to go out and buy some steaks? The car had been delivered at eight-thirty and she hadn't been there since.A very strange feeling gripped Luke. He went back to the meeting, jerked a hand at Mac and backed out the door to wait in the hall."What's up?""I can't get hold of Georgia," Luke said. "I've been calling her since about ten morning and she doesn't answer. I have a bad feeling about this."Mac discounted that. "She probably went to a movie or apartment hunting, or shopping. Women never sit by the phone and wait for someone to call them. They had about all over the place. You'll be smart to take home some deli food for super tonight." The. Mac urged, "We better get back. This is g
"It is almost certain that since they are so interested in coming to us, we have more on this tham they and they are petitioners. We smiled quite smugly confident of her reply. She gave it: "Yes. I'll miss you terribly." He showered and she lay in bed, feeling everything acutely. He came in and dressed as she watched and he regarded her thoughtfully. " You'll be okay." " Yes." " Being with you everyday has spoiled me. I don't want to leave you?" She was silent. She didn't want to leave him, either. " Aren't you going to fix me some breakfast? You don't want me to go out into the cold, brutal jungle to face the ravening corporate maneuverings on an empty stomach, do you?" " No." She got out of bed and went for her robe. He patted her bottom. "I'm glad you'II be here when I get back." She didn't look at him but put on her robe and went to the kitchen. She washed her hands, fixed him bacon and eggs, toast and juice and coffee. He told her about the other two companies while he a
"In the morning?" Luke's father was a little uncertain and looked at Luke for guidance. "I see." Georgia looked back at Luke. "I suppose it slipped your mind?" "I didn't mention It?" He knew good and well hadn't and it made her furious! "I've been held here for almost two weeks." "What do you mean?" his mother asked slowly. "I've been held here against my will." And his mother said to her son, "Now, what?" To distract hos mother, Luke told her, "She's learning to cook." "Don't you cook, Georgia?" Georgia didn't reply but said to Luke, "It's exceedingly interested and excessively telling that you have a mother who comes here, finds you've imprisoned a woman and she doesn't say, "How shocking!" She says, 'Now, what.' That says a lot about you, Luke Montana. " His mother's head went up, his father looked at Luke and Like laughed. A genuine, amused, impulsive laugh. It made his father smile. It made Georgia madder. She smiled sweetly and said a sugar-coated, "I kn
"You wouldn't have to take your pictures down. They look very nice on my walls. And you look even better in my house." "What would I tell my parents?" She asked logically. "They are very old-fashioned." "Tell them...Tell them you have an unusually friendly apartment mate, I want you stay with me." She shook her head. "It's only propinquity. If you saw me under ordinary circumstances, you'd look right past me." "No." He was sure. "I'm not beautiful." He could not control a blurting laugh of disbelief, but he straightened his face as well as he could. He learned away and looked at her lying there in the sunlight. shiny with oil, her body soft and lax and well loved. "You're not bad." He grinned. Then he teased, "And that one hundred thousand you're getting from us is something to consider." "When will you know about the Molly Q? When will I be free?" He frowned. "Do you want to leave?" " To ask me to stay, now, is meaningless. I am your prisoner. I have to stay." Later, while
He watched her as she flipped quite a chunk of pages back to the place she was drawing him exercising. She sudied him minutely. That she would look ot him that way made him self-conscious. Conscious of himself. Aware of his body. That he was a male being closely studied by a female.Naturally that made him more aware of her body and that she was a female and a willing one, at that."You really ought to lift weights. Since we have the time, I could get you started. Stand u,"She put aside her pad and pencil and stood before him."This movement," he instructed, "will tone these muscles." He traced the line of muscles. "And this one does all these." He bent her and traced all those that simple movement would affect.One thing led to another and he relaxed them both.They retrieved Minny form the roof and bird watching can be exhausting, so the little cat curled by the glass sliding door and napped. The lovers fixed a lazy lunch and although they hadn't done any bird watching, they too, n
"We were..... watching the news." Georgia gave Minny an apologetic look. How could she say Minny wakened them?"Did you get a look at him?" Mac asked Luke."No.""You're losing your touch. Getting old. In your younger days, you have been over that rail and nailed him before he hit the ground. I think you ought to give up baking, Georgia. He's getting fat and sluggish.""You missed Georgia's Oriental chicken, Mac. It was great." He smiled at Georgia. Then he told Mac,"If you behave and make no maire little snide remarks about my age and weight, you might be able to talk me out of one of the rest of the meringue cookies."Meringue?" Mac perked up."They are perfect.""Would you like one?" Georgia asked Luke."That'd be great.""I'll get you some."Mac frowned at Georgia. "He's capable of walking all the way across the living room.""He's been chasing burglars," Georgia said back over her shoulder.He didn't catch one."Luke pried his muscular body up out of the chair, and Mac bragged a
