•“What is the meaning of this?” Rowan raged as he looked between his mom and Emma, his mother had a calm exterior, as her hands reached out elegantly to take a sip out of her pristine white teacup, she seemed the least affected by her son’s rageHis eyes reached to the contract laid on the table and back to his mother “what is she doing here?” he fumed, pointing an accusatory hand toward Emma who looked like she was hoping for the ground to swallow her up, His mom let out a big sigh before she faces him, she had a feeling he would react like this, “she is carrying your child Rowan, and I wanted to talk with her” his mother urged Rowan who did not want to hear about it, he didn’t care, he was angry his mom reached out to Emma without him, he knew she was lying from the document that was laid on the table, “you do not know her mom, she is a mere stranger, she may be lying”“And what if she isn’t?” she asked that made him keep quiet, he glared coldly at Emma who looked like she would
EMMA*The car ride felt silent and heavy, and even though I knew he deeply opposed it, Rowan reluctantly drove me back to my apartment. Layla also told me that, as a bonus, she was going to pay for my tuition for the last year. And no matter how I tried to reject it, she insisted on it till I reluctantly agreed. I was eternally grateful, but I knew she was doing all this for a price, and that was the child in my belly. “I’m giving you not less than ten minutes to pack your bags,” he instructed. He didn’t even look at me; I didn’t say anything, but Rowan knew I understood. God, I wanted to slam that freaking car door right in his face. He was so arrogant. I walked up the steps, and that was when I realized I had kept my phone silent the whole day. I opened it to see text messages and calls from Amy. I rushed to check my bag, fishing out my keys in a hurry. I didn’t know if he was bluffing or if he was going to come to find me, so I was going to be fast. I opened the door, turned on t
Emma had tousled and turned in the bed all night because she was in a new environment and couldn’t sleep well. The first few seconds after she got up were almost humorous; her eyes bulged open when she didn’t recognize her surroundings, but she calmed down as soon as she did.She turned over to the clock on her bedside table to see that it was 6 a.m. in the morning; she had a class by eight, so she had some time to spare. She rolled out of bed with a tousled bedhead; then taking a rubber, to tie her hair up in a messy bun before she made her way out of the room. She gave a peek through her door to see if Rowan was already out; she would rather not meet him first in the morning, but her stomach was in desperate need of food. She trudged into the hallway and to the kitchen, which looked like it was hardly used. She was surprised with how spotless it looked, but thankfully there were fresh fruits in a basket and a coffee machine that seemed like it worked. Emma had turned to the cabinet
EMMA**“That bastard really has the nerves!” Amy huffed out as she paced around the pavement. Paxton had already walked away for his own safety the moment he say Amy approaching us, knowing how crazy defensive my friend was. She must have done something when I told her he cheated on me with a campus floozy. “He should thank his stars that he ran away! I should have done something worse than scratching his cars with my keys,” she muttered.“Oh my God, Amy, so that was what you did; no wonder you didn’t want to tell me!” I voiced out to her; she didn’t look fazed; she shrugged her shoulders instead, looking proud of what she did to Paxton as payback.“He deserved it, if that jerk comes by again you need to tell me, ok?” she warns me and I nod in agreement. “Should we go in?” She asked, pointing to the cafeteria, but I couldn’t take my chances. God knows I would puke if I got any whiff of fish or any other seafood smell that affected me.“Let’s go to the corner cafe instead,” I insisted
****They had both left the café and gone to visit Emma’s mother in the hospital after that, finally getting good news after so long. She was told that surgery had been set and would happen in the coming week. Emma was elated and grateful to hear that. She bid Amy goodbye before taking a cab back to Rowan’s penthouse apartments. She slipped the black card into the hidden port in the elevator that took her straight to the last floor. She entered inside expecting to be alone but got the shock of her life when someone rose from the counter and said, “Hello, ma'am.” “Oh my god!” Emma shrieked, with her hands quickly clutched to her chest to calm her frantic beating heart. “Oh, my, I didn’t mean to scare you, dear. I’m Rosita, the maid”. The older woman explained immediately. She was a middle-aged woman who looked like she was in her fifties, and she had a small, notable Latino accent, as she was small in stature with grey lined dark hair and kind brown eyes.“Hi, my name is Emma smith.
EMMA**I woke up in the morning with the sun filtering into my room, feeling a bit better today with no active morning sickness. I took a quick shower before I got dressed. I wore a pastel grey turtleneck sweater and a dark blue jean, paired it with Chelsea boots, and let my curls free, pushing them to rest sideways. I checked the time to see it was almost 8 am, I had classes, and thankfully the time I was told to report to the professor’s office was by noon, but I had to make a quick stop at the hospital to check on my mom, and to have a quick checkup on the baby’s health, it was Rowans mom that made it a rule and a requirement to have the baby’s health checked at least once every week.I rushed out of my room and was not expecting the sight before me. It was Rowan, wet, and dripping with water. My breath hitched as my eyes roved over his abs that water rolled down from. He hadn’t noticed me yet since the towel he was using to dry off his hair that covered his face.I let out a coug
*ROWAN**In just a week, I felt I had gone crazy. I tried so hard to avoid her, but she was persistent in trying to be friendly with me; it made me annoyed and, all the more, made something in me crave it. There were some times I would catch myself staring at her when she wasn’t looking, but I had to fight the urge not to give in, Not to care.Most times we hardly met in the morning after that encounter, and I like it that way; it would make me care less the moment she was gone from my life. A part of me wanted that child to be mine. Who would have thoughtI dressed up in one of my many suits and walked out the door to my underground parking lot. I rode out and into the morning traffic in New York. I was stressed enough as it is, and it was daunting at times.The realization dawned on me that she was really trouble one morning when I woke up with a hard cock, and the last face on my mind was Emma’s luscious lips around it. After that morning, I saw her licking up the juices from the a
*EMMA**I just knew something was out to get me. I mean, how could someone have such rotten luck?, and that unlucky someone is me? I was gobsmacked when I saw Rowan in the elevator. The words that his friend Keith was saying sounded like gibberish to me; I didn’t hear any of them as my mind went blank. His dark stare, which sized me up from head to toe was pretty intimidating. I felt like I couldn’t breathe, but I felt an inner heat inside me from his heated gaze, and a part of me became hot with a brewing want. Call me stupid, but as much as he irked me, I couldn’t stop the unwavering pull of desire towards him.I cut off eye contact with him, looking for any other way out. I saw a narrow escape when the elevator doors were about to close, and I took it, and I thank God that he didn’t pull or call me back for an explanation. I would explain it to him at home.But god, he must be thinking about so many things; I’m sure he's even making up a scenario in his head that I may have plann
