•EMMA•.…“ shit!” I hissed at my keys that fell to the ground after a second attempt to open the door,“ damn door” I muttered with frustration, cleaning my eyes were blurry with tears as I struggled to open the door to the apartment, Today was a very shitty day and I couldn’t think of anything that could top my share of bad luck, I finally got the door opened, I picked up my bag and trudged into the apartment and I only hoped my mom wouldn’t notice how miserable I looked, my mom knew everything at a glance and how I was feeling and didn’t want her to see me like this.I walked fast to the small fridge beside the small sink of our little kitchen, taking a glass cup of chill water to drink and cool my head, I then washed my face with water from the sink, pushing away my long brunette hair from my face, so it won’t stick, I looked at the small mirror In the living room, scanning my face to see the small red blotches under my green eyes from crying, I only hoped that my mom wouldn't n
EMMA•I stayed with my mom after she was moved to a room, Amy had gone to our house to get me some clothes knowing I would stay the night, I couldn’t sleep, and neither could I let go of my mother’s hands through the whole night as the silence that swallowed us whole was the loud beeping of the monitor that checked her vitals while she slept, she looked peaceful.“ Mom, don’t worry”, I whispered to her, my hands moved to push away her hair from her face soft pale face “ I will do what I can to get the money” that’s was a promised.After three days I returned to my house, the doctors had put her in a medically induced coma, and they said it would slow down the growth of the tumor, I just hoped I could pay up before then.I trudged into the apartment slumping down on the small old couch, it was quiet, too quiet, it made me feel hollow, how was I going to come up with the money? I brought out my phone to check my account balance, I had seven thousand dollars saved, it was supposed to
ROWAN•.“Another day another headache that I cope with it”, I huffed out as I got out of the shower, I was stressed enough as it was and this painful ache in my head won’t go away Or it might be the fact that I ran into my ex who was terrorizing a waitress in a restaurant, even though she was a beautiful woman, she had an awful attitude when pissed off. I looked at the sunrise soaking into my penthouse glass windows, I turned on the TV to see the stock claims on the King’s enterprises going up, That is right, I was the CEO of a billion-dollar company, King’s Enterprise, Rowan king, I walked to be empty kitchen to start myself a hot needed black coffee on the coffee machine to start my day, I needed to get rid of the knot I was feeling lately, Maybe it was the stress?My thoughts dwindled when I heard my phone buzz on the counter, I picked it up immediately as it was my little sister, “ Hello, Raya? Good Morning.” I called to her as I took a sip, my eye moved to the clock to see
EMMA•…“ don’t be nervous” Amy whispered as she entered the private dressing room at the back of the club, and in her hands were very revealing clothes, that I was supposed to wear.These were worn to serve drinks and were so scantily designed I had to hold a gasp from slipping out when I took a good glance at the dress, I couldn’t wonder what the sex workers would wear if servers were things like this!Amy had helped me out after my answer to her that would work there, and she got a spot for me the very next day, I left immediately after my shift in the restaurant, took shower, and headed to ‘Magenta Club’The lingerie and tight dress fit snugly on my body, the dress barely covered by girly bits, that was how scandalous it was, I had to admit, it hugged my curved I was always covered with clothes, and she was superb in makeup. I let her play around with my looks and curl my long hair for it to rest softly on my back.She let out a contented smile when she looked at my face“ you are
EMMA•…I woke up the next morning feeling cold, I shuffled around the bed to look for a blanket to cover my body even as my eyes were closed, Wait, I paused, this didn’t even feel like my bed. I opened my eyes instantly and sat up so fast I almost had a whiplash, to see I was in an unfamiliar room, I looked at my body to see that I was naked, and my lingerie was scattered across the bed and floor“ Oh my God, what have I done?!” I whispered in a panic, the memories of last night all came crashing back, and I felt hot shame cover me like a hot blanket,I slept with a stranger! “ You’re so stupid, Emma!” I called to myself as I hit my head several times with my palm, I felt so sore as I stood up from the bed,I peered in the mirror to see my body Littered with love bites, I was appalled, What made me behave that way with a stranger? Oh my God!I looked to the side to see a note and a small envelope, it read“ for your work”, what the hell? This person was very rude, or he didn’t eve
“ What?”Emma whispered, her eyes moving to her belly and back to the doctor, she also looked at Mr. Jonathan who took that as a signal to leave the room“ Doctor! I can’t be pregnant, how?”“ The baby is already three weeks old Miss smith, we checked your pulse and did some blood work on you, and it came out positive for pregnancy, you must be overwhelmed with the news,” the doctor told her before he left But Emma wasn’t listening,“ no, No! This is not happening to me!” she couldn’t believe it, she was pregnant with a stranger she knew absolutely nothing about, not even his name! Thoughts of him came to her mind from time to time, only when she passed his gray jacket she had hanged up in her houseBut this was something else beyond her power, the door opened again and this time it was Amy who rushed into the room,Her eyes met with Emma, she saw her w distraught Emma looked and ran to her, pulling her into a tight hug“ What happened?”“ How are you here, Amy?”“ Your boss called me
~~~ • Amy reached emmas apartment very quickly after Emma told her she wanted to meet the father of her child, barging straight for Emma’s door the moment she got to the house. “ Are you crazy?!?” Amy shouted the moment she unlocked the door of emmas home, walking in to see Emma pacing about in the living room, “I feel like it’s the best thing to do for the child, I’m going to contact him” she says quietly. “How are you even going to find him do you even know his name Emma,” Amy asked her frantically “I don’t know, but I will meet him, he can’t just vanish into thin air” “ But now Emma, why did you think of him, did something happen?” “..I got fired at work by Mr. Jonathan, he knows I’m pregnant and he does not see a pregnant woman as an asset to his business, saying u would slow him down..so I got laid off” “ How can he do that?! After you worked so hard! Oh my God he is an awful human being and will regret letting you go, I can’t believe him , he is such a bastard” Amy mutt
EMMA••I don’t know what to feel after that just happened, I never knew Rowan would be such a jerk, he tore through my dignity like it was nothing, making me look like a liarI should have expected this, but that didn’t make it hurt less, he made me feel like a gold digger which I wasn’tI just wanted to meet him, selfish part of me wanted to know who I gave myself to, I wanted to see the person I had sex with, and now I did, I walked out of the company in low spirits, calling a cab and heading straight to the hospital, even though my mom wasn’t awake, she was still my rock and I wanted to talk to her But as I went to the hospital I saw doctors rushing and out of the room with machines and injections, My heart started beating fast, “ excuse me what’s happening?” I shouted to a nurse that passed her, “ the patient had an attack, we’re doing everything we can miss, so you have to wait”I could only stand helpless as doctors tried to revive my mom, even the hundred thousand dollars I
EPILOGUERowan never knew happiness could be so beautiful; he made sure to shout to the world that Emma and Ryan were his.The moment his mom Layla found out about their rekindled relationship, she was happy for them, and she was all the more glad they settled their differences and finally chose happiness.But even more, she was happy for them to find each other. As the days passed, Rowan was relentless with his joy.Everyone in the park found out about them, and Rowan was more than proud to show that Emma was his.Even though Emma was shy from attention in the beginning, she got used to it because she knew Rowan wouldn’t stop; she had unleashed a beast who never wanted to stop showing love for her.But he also made sure her relationship didn’t affect how hard she worked; she wanted them to see that her being with the president of the King's Corps would not stop her from working.In no time, she was promoted to assistant manager of the planning division after a little over six months o
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
