“What in the hell are you doing in Rowan’s house?!” Amber screeched at me when I should have been asking her that instead. She had no right to be here.

She walked out of the elevator to look around and see that I had cooked and made this space mine in a way. “You came here uninvited, not me,” I replied coldly as she stared me down in disbelief. Her arms were crossed, and her face scrunched up in distaste.

With the way she was dressed fancy and sexy, wearing a mini black dress and blood-red lips, I knew she didn’t just come here on a whim; she had a plan.

If she planned to try to seduce Rowan without him knowing that I lived here, she was going to be very disappointed.

“As you can see, I was given a card when we were together,” she said, easing a card up to me to show her power. But I stepped forward and put my hands out.

. Her eyebrow raised in confusion about what I was doing, but I stood my ground even though her ice-blue eyes were judging. I started, “So you came to return i

    “You kissed Amber?” Emma asked with a crestfallen expression; her heart felt like it just dropped to her stomach from Amber's confession.He looked conflicted, but he wasn’t denying it. “She kissed me first? It was a mistake.”“And How did that happen?” She called trying control her annoyance but it was failing fast.“..That was before I saw you at the bar that day; like I said, it’s nothing,” he answered, picking up the bouquet he had thrown on the flower and the chocolate.The mood had gone sour almost immediately, and there was only a bigger silence left. Rowan felt Emma’s hot-holding stare like a drill to the head, but he decided not to speak.“That’s it?” She called, annoyed, as she folded her hands and came forward.“As I said, that is it, Emma.”Emma knew she was being paranoid, but she couldn’t help but feel inferior to Amber. Not only was she beautiful and rich, she was his ex!“Do you still have feelings for her?” She asked with her heart in her throat. She wouldn’t even know

    ROWAN•“This is so messed up,” I muttered to myself as I paced around my room. Emma had just shut the door in my face, and I didn’t know what to do right now.It was just my rotten luck that Amber had come and spoiled all the plans I had with Emma. And God, Emma... Something tells me that it’s not over. She looked hurt when I said those things to her—that it wasn’t her business—especially just after I told her I wanted her in my life. I feel like a fool.I turned and tossed around on my bed until sleep found me in the early hours of the morning. I barely got any sleep and stayed in bed for a few minutes more to rest. I had some much-needed extra shut-eye for thirty minutes before I stood up and walked to my bathroom to have my bath. After washing up, I walked to the kitchen to steam up a hot cup of coffee.I put on my suit jacket as the coffee boiled up. I couldn’t help but let my eyes move to Emma’s door occasionally, as I hoped she would come out soon. I instinctively filled two cup

    Emma couldn’t help the way her mouth gaped open in shock at the rumors. Was that what people thought of her? What would they say if someone found out she was pregnant?!“That’s not true; that’s not true. I did not sleep with him to get this position. Is that really what they think of me?” Emma called out as she fiddled with her nails, feeling anxious.She felt like the ground would open and close up now that she understood the reason why they all looked at her like that.“I don’t think of you like that! Of course not!” Jamie said as he held her hands with firm, sincere assurance and a look on his face. “Don’t mind them; they are just jealous that you are dating Mr. Rowan. They will get over it soon.”He assured Emma as they went back to their work. It didn’t take long before Emma's phone dinged and she got a message.She opened it to see that it was from Rowan. God, Rowan. She felt so dumb and stupid for avoiding him this morning, but right now she didn’t even know how to start the co

    EMMA*I just couldn’t believe my worst luck. Not only did Paxton try to force a kiss on me, but worse, I had never felt so trapped in my life until the doors of the passenger seat opened up, and I looked up to see the eyes of Rowan. He was seething with untamed rage."Rowan, I can explain," I started before he dragged me out of the car. He didn’t want to hear any of it, and I couldn’t blame him. From what had just happened, any sane person would think that I was having an affair with Paxton behind his back."Do not dare try to fucking explain sh*t, Emma. You lied to me, played me, and tricked me. Was it worth it, huh? To get a few quick bucks from fucking me and then playing the fucking victim? You planned this, didn’t you? Was it fun to watch me lose it, huh?" He fumed, shaking my shoulders with force. I felt dizzy and lost for words.This was not meant to happen! I tried to force myself to speak, to tell my part, and to at least show the letter that felt heavy in my hands. "Rowan, I

    "Honey, are you sure there isn't anything wrong?" Layla asks Emma, but Emma denies it, knowing it might cause problems."No, no, I'm good. I just wanted to check on mom, but I'm glad you picked her up since she is asleep.""No problem, dear. You can call her later in the day. I'm coming to New York in a few days. I have a meeting in Hong Kong, but I want to stop by. A few things, and maybe get a glimpse of the baby bump?" he asked with hope, and that made Emma smile sadly."Of course, ma'am. You know, I can't deny you a visit. I actually want to come to L.A. soon, and this is good timing. I will be graduating soon, and I want to come see my mom. If that's alright with you", she asked Lyla calmly, hoping she wouldn’t notice anything amiss."You don't need to ask me that, and of course, I'm sure your mom would be happy to see you. I know you talk often, but it's different seeing them and talking facee-to face, right?" Layla asked in a bashful tone."Of course, it's always a good day to

    •ROWAN•I have to get twisted and filthy drunk for hours just to forget Emma. She filled my mind like a dangerous drug I was trying so hard to get rid of.Thats what I get for trusting and giving yourself and your whole world to the one person who could not even be truthful with you.It felt like a large blow to see her and her boyfriend together. As I watched them kiss, they both knew they were playing me. I knew no matter how hard I tried to douse the feeling down with alcohol, it still hurt.I spent hours in the club before I called a chauffeur to come pick me up and take me home. Walking into the apartment felt wrong, but I tried to concentrate more on my intoxicated mind and shut everything out, including ignoring Emma’s door as I walked right past it and entered my room.Quickly taking off my tie and throwing my suit that had been long taken off my body at the bar, I removed my shoe and fell flat to the bed, hoping the alcohol would take away my misery. It didn’t.Instead, I was

    EMMAThe moment I told Amy about my plan I could see the shock and panic on her face as she grabbed my tighter.“What? What do you mean you’re leaving?” Amy asked me with a panicked look on her face. Even in a million years, I won’t forget how scared she looked as she took my hands, which warmed from her touch.“I want to leave, Amy. I want to take my mother and start a new life anywhere else than here.”“What about your job and school?” She asked in a panic, like she was looking for anything she could use to hold me back.“You know I’m done with my project, and I have applied to graduate early. My job was always an internship. I can find something better with what I’ve saved,” I explained to her. Most of it was true, though I haven’t found a job opening yet. I know that with what I have saved, I could get decent housing there. I would look for a job to pay Mrs. Layla back, and I would take care of my baby myself. I thought as I rubbed my belly.“You don’t mean that. I mean, you have a

    ROWANI felt like my world was spinning out of bounds I could barely hear anything the moment after Amy told me the news about Emma. "Emma has left. She is gone.""Gone? What do you mean, gone?" I asked her in anger, but Amy was having none of it. She neither cared nor worried about my frantic questions about Emma."I don’t have to answer that, Mr. King," Amy retorted as she reached for her door to close it and shut me out."Wait!" I raged as she paused and looked at me, her eyes filled with annoyance and hate."What?""T-Tell me where she is. I know you know where she is.""No, I don’t know anything about her location, and even if I knew, Rowan, I would not tell you. Goodbye," she called coldly as she shut the door and left me in the dimly lit hallway of her apartment.I was raging mad at this point as I stormed out and down the steps and into my car. Where the hell was she? How could Emma just leave like that? After playing with my feelings, is this what she truly wanted? To ruin me?

    It still felt surreal to Rowan.He didn’t want to let go of Emma as they kissed; he didn’t expect her to come back, and he wouldn’t have blamed her.Not that he was an asshole to her, but the moment she left with Eric was an eye-opening experience for him as he walked back to his house. His body was weak, his mind was exhausted, and all he wanted to do was drink.He opened a new bottle of wine, taking it straight from the bottle and sowing it into his system.But he couldn’t feel an ounce of it; he was still wide awake, and it felt like hell and torture for him. He was only left with his regrets and dark thoughts. He imagined Eric getting on one knee and proposing; he imagined his son calling Eric dad and them becoming a new family."I'm so sorry, Emma. I regret everything. I regret it all. I'm sorry,” he mutters as he stays in the dark cover of the room, leaning on a wall with his clothes closed. Who would have thought the billionaire extraordinaire had been torn to pieces? He had

    "You freaking live here?"Eric calls, his confusion slowly turning to anger as he looks at Emma, who knew she couldn’t lie, and there was no way out of this, he found out."Yeah, I do; that isn’t your problem either, so get lost.""She told you to let go of her, didn’t she? Now you use your money, wealth, and power to stalk her and make her feel uncomfortable?” He snarled, and Eric then rushed over to push Rowan away from Emma, pinning him against the wall. "Haven't you had enough? Haven’t you harassed her enough, you bastard? You’re making life hard enough for her, and now you move close to her to torment her?""Eric, leave him alone; it isn’t like that!”“From what I’m seeing, it’s very much like that, Emma,” he says before he turns back to Rowan. “Leave her alone." He warned."She hasn’t told me to do that, so why should I listen to you?" Rowan rages as he raises his hand, pulling it into a fist and ready to attack Eric, before Emma comes in between them both."I told you to stop!”

    "Eric," Rowan says as he looks to Keith, who was as surprised as him, especially since the client wanted everything to be discreet."Mr. Rowan,” Eric called, moving forward to offer a handshake, knowing Rowan couldn’t refuse, especially since the whole room was full of his employees and Eric’s associates.They had to be professional.And even as Rowan tried to concentrate on the meeting, his eyes were still on Eric, who looked smug. Most times he had seen Eric in casual wear, and when he said they had a chain of stores, he paid no mind to it.But even right now, Rowan King couldn’t help but feel intimidated; this man was also rich and ready to take Emma as his, and he even loved her kid too. He tapped on the table.He didn’t hear Keith call him until he was asked, “What do you think about this president?” Keith says with a raised brow and his eyes narrow at his friend, telling him to focus on this project right now.Rowan wanted so much to be leery and say no to this deal, but he knew

    Eric?”Emma calls, and Eric smiles at her before he walks forward. “Hey, Emma,” he whispers, putting her on a high, and Emma relishes in the relief that comes with it.He lets go momentarily as she bends down to where Ryan is shopping excitedly. "Hi, Uncle Eric!” He squeals, and Eric picks him up."Look at how you’ve grown in just a little over a month. Dang!” He says this, and Ryan laughs, hugging him."We missed you!"“I did; I missed you guys,” he says, looking deeply into Emma’s eyes. I could see his emotions and see he hadn’t forgotten about his promise or the kiss."Well, come on in!” She opens the door for Eric to take Ryan in as she looks back at Rowan’s house, especially at the fact that Eric had no clue about it. Hell, how was she going to bring it up?"Um, when did you arrive?" She was shut up with a peck on the cheek, or maybe she shouldn’t tell him. She thought.She watches him drop. Ryan, who quickly goes to drop his toys that Layla had given him, says, "Like an hour ago

    Emma's pleasure was immense; this time she wasn’t drunk and relived all the pleasure, and their skin merged as one.She let Rowan take her from the entrance of the house to the couch; their naked skins slapped against each other, and her sex ached for more from him.They changed positions until they ended up inside his room, giving each other the last climax of the night before Emma fell on him, her body limp and weak from rising. Rowan kissed her, watching her as her breath calmed and watching her until she slept."God, Emma, only you can be this crazy for you, and I want you so much. I love you, and I hope you can fully trust and forgive me soon,” he mutters, watching her chest rise and fall as she sleeps and until his eyes become drowsy and he falls asleep.They slept for many hours, and this time when Emma woke up, she didn't. She stretched up, quickly shooting up from the bed, but there was no one beside her.She wondered if she hallucinated last night, but this was her bed or he

    “What do you think, Emma?” Layla asked as she gazed at Ryan, who was pleading with puppy eyes, if he wanted to stay with Layla.“Can I go with grandma, please, mama?” He asked Emma, and she could see nothing wrong with the request, especially since it was just one day."I'll make sure to bring him in on Sunday,” Layla said, and Emma could see that she wanted bonding time with her grandson.“Don’t worry about it, Layla; I’ll come by on Sunday to visit and take him,” she said to Layla, and she could see the relief that she was safe and the happiness on Ryan’s face.“Alright, then since the event is pretty much done, we will be going. Ryan, we are going to have so much fun at our sleepover today.""I can’t wait for grandma; bye Mama, bye Papa!” Ryan waved as he and Layla went into the car. That made Emma aware of what she had done; she was not alone with the subject of her very much erotic dream."Well, that was surprising. Shall we go too?” He said this to Emma, who tried not to fiinch,f

    Before Emma knew it, she was taken to her room and pampered and powdered up by Raya, who was more than excited to help, even though she was nursing a hangover.Layla had chosen a casual yet soft look: a pastel purple gown reaching her mid-thigh, her hair left to curl around her shoulder, and white sandal heels that matched her bag. She couldn’t thank Raya and Amy enough.Especially when she saw how handsome her son was in a dark blue top and black pants. He looked at her and exclaimed, "Mama, you look so pretty." Ryan squealed excitedly."So do you, baby; you’re so handsome," she called to him. Her phone then buzzed, and it was Rowan telling her he would be there in a few minutes. Her belly churned with excitement but also with nerves.She was going out with the man who she had a sex dream about; yes, they had slept together before, but Emma couldn’t help but feel like she had committed a crime about it. “..Emma!” Amy called, breaking her thoughts and getting her attention back as she

    “Deeper,” Emma moaned as she felt Rowan’s tongue against her skin, lapping at her core, and it delved in, making her moan out loud.“Fuck, ugh!” She moaned in pleasure , as Rowan held her legs apart, she clutched on to his head and felt his hot breath against her aching sex.His hands then traveled up her waist, causing Emma to shudder as he pulled her closer, their lips meshing back together passionately, leaving her breathless.“Rowan,” Emma moaned as she felt his hand grab her ass, his lips tracing from her mouth to her cheeks, kissing the nape of her neck before biting down hard."You're so sexy for me and ready for me," Rowan moaned in her ear, and Emma’s body responded to him. “I want you to turn around for me and present your ass to me, love,” he whispered in her ear as Emma turned around.But as she lay there, waiting for his touch and his cock to penetrate her, she roused herself, feeling the anticipation build and her breath catch.She felt the warmth on her back and his hot
