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 awayOr 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 it was seven already, so I marched into my room to the walk-in closet to get my clothes ready for the day.“ Rowan, why haven’t you called mom? It looks like you are avoiding her, And she is giving me a headache for that, and now I have to give updates on you” she whispered, making me laugh.“ No, I’m not avoiding her Raya”..yes I was, but she didn’t need to know that, my mom always disturbed me when I would settle down. I was done getting different girls into my bed, and when she would get a grandchild, after that incident, I didn’t want to even think of it,The questions were a total pain in the ass and weren’t helping,“ then you wouldn’t mind talking to me now would you?” I heard another familiar voice ask over the phone,And before I could protest, I heard shuffling and whispering on the other line as the phone was passed,“ hello dear,” my mom said with a too eerily sweet voice, damn it, I hissed,“ …morning Mom,” I called as I let the phone lay on the cabinet I put on some clothes,In a fact, I knew she was pissed that I don’t listen to her, I left home as soon as I turned nineteen and got my place, working up the company chain, I proved myself to my father and wasn’t just given the role of overnightAnd I was 30 now, the youngest CEO in New York, and still a Bachelor, and my mother is hellbent on getting me a wealthy and influential bride,“ Honestly Rowan, why do you keep avoiding this, why do you keep avoiding me”“ I’m not mom, I have been busy, and we have the shareholder's meeting coming up and everything?”“ Then have dinner with me later?”“When I’m less busy, I have to go” I sighed before I cut the phone, ever since my father Got sick and passed away, I had distanced myself from her,she, too, had become cold and power-hungry at the point my father died, she was desperate to see only our family line continue the family business that my father had started,I felt sorry for her in a way, I didn’t believe in love, and nor did I have the time to waste on it.I dress up sharp in Italian tailored gray suit, pairing it with shoes before I stepped into the elevator of my penthouse apartment, that was the only way you could access this floorI got into my BMW and sped into the busy streets, driving to the tall skyscraper that read ‘King’s enterprise’ was just a few meters away,I entered my office not caring to talk to anyone, as I was still in a seething mood from this headache, I Got to work immediately, going to a meeting and signing files and budgets for the year's term,The door of my office opened up, and I looked up to see it was Keith Rogers, a long-time friend of mine and the current CFO of the company, he always had a playful beaming smile on his face, it irked me to wonder what he was smiling about“ I figured you would still be here” Keith called as he strolled into my office and casually sat down, he loosened his tie, which meant work hours were overI barely looked at the time that had passed, it was now eight o’clock and past closing time“ what do you want Kieth” I sighed, leaning into my swivel chair and turning it to look at my friend“ dude, you look like a wreck, you work too much, hell I’m saying that I’m the CFO, you don’t look too good”“ I don’t feel good too, but I’m very busy, but I’m sure it will go away”“ Let loose a little!” he voiced out as he stood up a waved his hands in the air,“ come out with me, you need to let out all that pent-up frustration!”He called to me, his offer was very tempting, I’ve had my share of fun and whenever it was time to work I put my whole mind into it, but he was right, I was pent-up with frustrationI let out a big smile before I turned to him, “a drink or two wouldn’t hurt, right?”“ Exactly! And I have the perfect place we can go, Rowan, it's going to be a crazy experience”!“ Lead the way”.Mark wasn’t joking about the crazy part, we made our way into a VIP elevator of the ‘Magenta club’ the exquisite designs containing minimal yet cool colors of black and white made me intriguedWe were led to an open space where drinks were poured occasionally, I took shot after shot, not minding the effect on me, I wanted to be drunkI stopped midway when I noticed that Keith was standing being let to another door,“ hey” I called to him, and he turned back to me with his eyebrow raised“ what aren’t we going to the same place”“ to give a better experience to their VIP customers we all have resting rooms, don’t worry a girl will come in soon please you too”He explained, and I’m sure the ‘pleasing’ part was fucking the girl, he held up two fingers to his head in a playful salute before he went to his room and I stood up and collected my key card to the room that was labeled ‘room 107’I walked into the room, taking in the ambiance that put me at ease, I drunkenly stumbled onto a chair, before I then unclamped my buttons and removed my tie, and lay down on it to rest,I heard a soft knock on the door, and before I told the person to come inThe person at the door was not quite the person or image that I expected, it was…. Amber? Her eyes met my gray ones, she was sexy, very sexy and my cock twitched in delight.I don’t know if I was dreaming of my ex or hallucinating her, but I was very surprised and horny to see her hereI took in her sexy frame, she was dressed in lingerie that held her curved tightly showing off and hugging her perky breast, her sinful lips were painted a red alluring color that only made me imagine biting them until her naturally pink lips showedand I wanted her lips to be around my cock, I wanted to have her under me, she was a dreamAnd God, I wanted her,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
ROWAN*From the moment I opened my eyes I knew that I was fucked, I saw myself laying on an unfamiliar bed with a woman at my side, she was asleep and last night’s memories all came back rushing to me, as I sat up from the bed.“fucking hell”, I uttered as I leaned on the headboard, my eye moved back to the woman’s small frame, her back was turned away from me, so I couldn’t get a good glimpse of her face, but I saw the bite marks and hickeys I left on her skin that made me appalled by what I did, I couldn’t believe I drank so much I fucked I woman who I hallucinated and thought was my fucking ex, I stood up took my things, drew a check from my jacket, and wrote check with a hefty sum of a hundred thousand dollars, hoping that she would see it as good compensation from last night, I was still hungover everything still felt disorientedI had work to do, but I didn’t waste time and left the private room of club magenta quickly, I made a quick note to myself not to listen to Keith so o
•“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
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
