After that altercation with Rowan, Emma practically barged into Eric’s room, knocking on the door profusely as she cried hard.

The door quickly opened to Eric, whose confused gaze immediately turned to a concerned one as he pulled Emma to his chest, hugging her.

She let herself cry until she could speak. “What about Ryan?"

"Asleep in the room,” he whispered to Emma. She looked up at him, wiping her eyes, but Eric's embrace comforted her.

"I did it. I talked to him," she confessed.

"He didn’t do or say anything harmful to you, because I swear I’ll go kill that bastard right now.”

"No, Eric, I told him what I wanted to, or what I thought I wanted to; I knew he wanted to apologize for what he did, but I didn’t want to give him the chance because I could have forgiven him right there,” she sniffled.

"God, I’m so stupid, aren’t I?"

"No, you are brave and strong, carrying everything on your shoulders, from your mother to Ryan; hell, you even helped my mom and me; you are a beautifu

    After brunch, the adults met up; while the older guests and elders who couldn’t participate , more like Layla , were excluded, ruling out the brides themselves.Amy and Raya made it their mission to keep Emma by their side through everything, with the first thing on the list of activities being beach volleyball."Guys? I don’t think I have any bathing suits left, and I don’t think I can play.""Nonsense, you must play Emma!" Amy called."Besides, we have the perfect thing for you to wear; let’s go!” Layla called as she dragged Emma to get changed. While the boys went to get changed for the game too,.With no one objecting to what the brides wanted,Rowan, on the other hand, was already on the beach. He had been looking for a way to talk to Emma, but his sister and her fiancé, Amy, wouldn’t stop with their nitpicking and constant hovering over Emma.He couldn’t help feeling annoyed and helpless, wondering if he could have a chance to talk to Emma. His thoughts were interrupted by Eric,

    After Rowan stormed out of the room, with Emma’s gaze filling his figure, she didn’t know what possessed her to follow as she stepped out of the room. She catches a blur of Rowan going outside. He then lit up a cigarette and let out a puff of air into the cold evening. Emma could see the sunset illuminating the sea's water. Rowan went out to cool off, but he stopped the moment he heard the sound of footsteps gaining closer as he saw Emma."Hey… I didn’t know you smoked.""You don’t care about that. What are you doing here, Emma?" He called, throwing his cigarette into the bin. She walked over to lean against the wall next to him as they both watched the sunset. "Everything feels messed up, doesn’t it? It seems more complicated than the first time we met," she said to Rowan, who scoffed as he turned to face her."Are you doing this to get back at me and prove a point, Emma? Because you’ve won, I feel miserable enough knowing that you hate me and now you’re with him."Emma stared at Ro

    "Will you be mine?” Eric asked Emma, his eyes welled with so much emotion as he anticipated her answer, but he could see the confusion and how conflicted she was in her gaze.Emma had then let go of his arm, confused and not knowing what to say to Eric. "I'm sorry, but I don’t think this is the right time; a lot is happening right now, and I’m just stuck. I’m sorry, Eric,” Emma said to Eric.He stands up, nodding in understanding as he holds her face in his palm. "I understand; I won’t rush you to accept me, but I won’t stop courting you either; you've been the only one I've been looking at for years now, so what a little while longer?” He says this to Emma.Emma felt guilty for dragging this on; she didn’t know what her heart wanted, especially with weird things happening lately and Rowan coming back into their lives. It was complicated, and her heart too was being swayed."I'm sorry, I am,” she called, cleaning her tears, but Eric had decided to hug and comfort her instead."You have

    The moment Emma opened her eyes in the morning and everything came rushing back, shock was an understatement to find herself where she was.She was in Rowan’s bed, naked; she only discovered that when she rolled aside and noticed they were both naked, his bare muscles back by her side.That was when she began to recall what happened yesterday.From her initiating the kiss and then coming back to Rowan’s room, they had mind-blowing sex that Emma couldn’t just forget against the multiple orgasms Rowan gave her in just one night.Now she was awake, recalling how dirty she sounded last night and the fact that she had slept over. The nanny was supposed to leave, and now her son Ryan is here. "Oh my god,” she mouthed out as she rolled out of bed.They were supposed to be leaving in a few hours, and she had to hurry, picking up her things. She couldn’t find her dress, so she opted for a huge hoodie she found, and she quickly slipped out the door, praying she wouldn’t give herself away and wak

    Emma couldn’t help but wonder about Rowan’s words; even as they boarded the plane back home, she couldn’t sleep a wink. Layla, on the other hand, was elated to be a grandmother, and just the first day of landing home, she had sent gifts for Ryan, and Ryan was so happy with them. Emma thanked her. Emma’s mom had rekindled her friendship with Layla, knowing she had always been grateful for the day that Layla took care of her in the hospital. And though Emma had tried many times to get the thought of a certain man out of her head, his hoodie was always hung by her closet; the hoodie that belonged to Rowan reminded her of the passion they shared that night. But it made Emma annoyed, annoyed by the fact that Rowan, who had gotten her stupid hopes up and not texted even once, hated that she thought of him when his words were empty. "Ugh, you should have known better, Emma,” she scolds herself as she stands up, stretching. She gets ready for the day, showering and dressing up as she goes

    I want you to come to the city, Emma,” Rowan says, his gaze serious, and Emma couldn’t help thinking he was mental for his suggestion, especially after their history.“Are you going crazy or something?" she asked.“I’m not forcing you, but I do want you to think about it,” he says, handing her the paper. “Your job is still there; the position is open even after years pass; you are very talented and overqualified for your talents to be wasted here."“Rowan.:”"Look, you applied to my company without knowing I worked there; you wanted to be there; don’t ruin your dreams and make them wait any longer, Emma.""Rowan, I can’t just leave everything and go? I have a life here."“Do you? Or you are just living like this because this was the only option after you got away from me after what I did, and just the thought of me making life difficult for you is killing me, Emma, It’s messing with my head because I know fully well that this is all my fault and that you are passionate about working fo

    Emma wakes up the next day, knowing that in a few hours soon, Layla and Rowan will arrive to take Ryan out for a playdate.And even though she slept in a weird mood yesterday after the conversation she had with Eric, she wasn’t going to let that distract her today.“Honey?” Her mom calls Emma, who quickly breaks out of her thoughts. She looks to see that the bowl she kept in the sink was overfilled. And the fruits her mom told her to wash were drowning in the sink."Oh my god!” she called out, turning off the tap as quickly as she could. Of course, she was still too deep in her thoughts."Is something on your mind, dear?”“This all feels weird; why do I feel like I’d wake up, and it will be a dream, and Rowan was never here, and this weird feeling I just keep having, I want to go pursue my dreams, you know?"“As I said, I’m with you every step of the way, honey,” she mutters, hugging Emma, who squeezes back tightly.“Thanks, Mom,” she says before she points at the bowl.

    "What do you mean, go to New York alone?” Emma asked her mom, annoyed, as she questioned Julianna. Ryan was already asleep, so she took him to her room and dropped him there before she came back out.“Mom, I don’t understand why.”"Working for such a big company has always been your dream, and baking has always been mine. I found my passion back, and I still want to work here, but I know you don’t belong here. This isn’t your passion."“Mom, why? I thought you wanted us to be together...," but Julianna had crossed the room to hold her daughter, hugging her tightly and pouring all the love she could in it. ."I do, but you're here. Because of me, you did things and accepted a lot of things for my sake; now I want you to live for you; I want you to be happy,” she says to Emma, who begins to cry.“Mum.”"Don't cry, baby; I will come anytime. Anytime you need me to be there, I will be, and for sure, I’ll send you and Ryan your favorite cakes and pastries," her mom promised.She knew that t

    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
