•Emma•I settled into my new job surprisingly well. Since I knew how to tend and serve drinks from working in the restaurant, I got into a turn behind the counter and learned how to make coffee while my mom was in the back with Mrs. Ford while they both worked in the kitchen to perfect mom's recipes, which had become a bestseller in just the months that we’ve been here. Life was simple and not as complicated as it was in New York; it was quiet, and people were friendly. A lot admired me and called me pretty with a pregnant glow, even though some still asked for the father. When I didn’t answer, they got the hint but didn’t judge. My thoughts were interrupted by the jingle of the café bell, and it opened up to a familiar face; he was tall and had one of everyone’s dreams, as well as my employer’s son, Eric Ford.And he had been making his visits more frequent, even though he had work in other branches. Like I said before, Mrs. Ford was very humble not to tell me how they had a chain s

*ROWAN*I don’t know why I was in this messed-up dream.I dream of a life with a beautiful, familiar woman. The sight of her silhouette makes my heart ache. While we sat down at the park and ate our picnic sandwich while I caressed her belly and smiled proudly at her, Her green emerald eyes called me in as I whispered the words I keep deep in my heart. “I love you, Emma,” I called, moving forward to finally taste the cherry lips I have been yearning for.Then I woke up. My eyes shot open to fucking loud buzzing from my phone that vibrated in the room,. “Uhm, Fuck!” I muttered as I rolled over to see that I wasn’t alone. I noticed a blonde woman on my bed when, and I remembered last night that I had gone to a party, and. I was sure she was one of the directors’ or investors nieces, but I was too horny and drunk to care.She woke up and smiled at me and reached over to kiss me, but I wasn’t in the mood for that sh*t; I was never in the mood for it. “Get out,” I muttered coldly to her.

EMMA..“Ryan R. Smith! Get back here!” I called out to the small baby boy who waddled around the room butt-naked while I pursued him with his little shorts. He had the nerve to giggle as he led me around the apartment in an attempt to run away from wearing his shorts. “Mama, no! Mama!” he called with a giggle.I couldn’t believe my two-and-a-half-year-old was trying to outrun me. I caught him, and he let out a laugh, half-scared. I blew mouth bubbles on his tummy. “I caught you, baby!”“Ah, that tickles, Mama!” he called to me happily as I laid him on the carpet and put on his pants with a bright smile on my face. He was my joy and everything to me. Luckily, today was Sunday, even though I had missed one of the most important days of my best friend's life. I was sorry I couldn’t come for the engagement.My phone buzzed at that moment, and I reached for it to see if it was a video call from Amy. I picked it up immediately, as I was met with a blinding smile from my friend.“If it isn’

•ROWAN•The engagement party was more like an eye-opener for me that my relationship with my sister Raya had taken a turn for the worst after what happened three years ago.She had begun to trust me less and talk to me less. The thoughts swarmed my mind the minute I was alone in my office, and the only thing that kept me company in my quiet space was the ticking of the clock on my table.My fingers thrummed on my desk as I turned on my swivel chair, thinking about Raya. It had not been long since she had begun working in the office fully as a director.A part of me felt like she only took the job because her fiancé's bar was close to the company, and Amy had become successful in just a short time as her bar had become the talk of the town.But what irked me was that, between the solid months that Raya had been working here, not once had I ever seen her come into my office on her own accord. It made me pause and think deeply, as I was getting this sort of treatment from my baby sister.

Silence.Utter silence as Rowan stared at Emma with shock written on his face. The small shock paled on Emma’s face as she looked at him.The silence was so deep that everything felt muted as they stared at each other. Emma felt like he couldn’t breathe as the pen she had been holding and notepad fell from her hand, and the notebook made a loud thud that made Emma flinch, as that brought her back to her senses. Emma willed her body to move as she backed away from him, but Rowan was fast as his hand came to her wrist to hold it. He wasn’t letting her go anytime soon, and she could see the determination, confusion, and wonder in his eyes as he studied her frame.For years, he hadn’t seen or heard from her, so for sure, it was a huge shock for both of them. But Emma looked more than shocked; she looked like she was being extra careful about something.But, in fact, she was avoiding him and has been avoiding him. For years, she left, and not only did she do that, but she left him a mess t

Pissed was an understatement for how Rowan was feeling; he was seething with rage and felt betrayed by his sister. All this time, he didn't even know what to feel right now; it was still a shock and like a daydream that he had met Emma.It still didn't feel real. Rowan had sat outside the café for a straight hour, hoping that Emma would at least show her face to him once more. She didn't. He could only hold on to the promise as he slid into his car and rode home. And that gave him time to think about how he got her address.His sister Raya knew where she was all along and played it off, making it seem like he was the bad guy and the biggest jerk in the world. He was furious at what he had found out.He raced through the vast city of LA. It wasn't as crazy and noisy as New York City life, and for a moment, he was thankful for the less busy streets as he raced home. Rowan slammed his car door hard. He felt confused and overwhelmed by all the sudden emotions he was feeling. He arrived at

EMMA.I was still in pure shock. I couldn't believe the person I had just run into, or rather, who had found me. My whole body stiffened and stood still the moment I heard his voice and our eyes met. I knew instantly that it was over. The three years of hide-and-seek were over. And now Rowan has found me. I could see the anger in Rowan’s gaze as he stared at me, with many questions heavy at the tip of his tongue. It all felt so fast as I tried to defuse the hostility between Rowan and Eric.A fight might have started, but now as I walked away from the café, I could still feel Rowan’s stare on my head like a laser as Eric led me upstairs.“Emma….. Emma!” I heard my name called clearly as Eric’s voice shattered my train of thought and brought my attention to him.“Yeah?” I called to him as he pointed to Ryan in my hands. Ryan had already fallen asleep in my arms, and I didn’t realize I had been cradling him for so long. “Oh,” I muttered as I walked to my room and laid him on the bed.I

ROWAN..Tick tock.The sound of the grandfather clock grew louder with each second. It felt like an itch in my brain as it ticked loudly.I was surrounded by our branch managers from the Los Angeles branch. Since Emma wanted to meet up after a few days, I kept myself busy, immersed myself back into my work, found and solved problems quickly, and went to all the meetings I had set up, all just to get her out of my head.Fuck.And now, as my fingers tapped against the glass table in the conference room of the Los Angeles branch, I couldn’t wait for it to be over.It was already Tuesday, and I couldn’t help my eyes moving to my watch once in a while to check. My fingers tapped on the table as I got impatient with one of the interns’ incessant speech and repeated the same things I had gotten reports on.“Stop,” I called to the intern, who looked like she was about to pee herself. I couldn’t blame her; I wanted an impromptu meeting with no early announcement. I stood up, and the directors
