Emily’s Pov

“Where are we going?” I ask Blake, who drives into a forest with no toads with only trees, flowers and birds chirping. The scene is beautiful and so relaxing. Blake doesn’t answer me and only focuses on the bumpy road in front of him.

“Are you going to kill me?” I joke and smirk.

“You will see.” we drove for about another mile until he stopped.

A beautiful lake is in front of us. The water is so clean that you can actually see the fish swimming in the Lake.

“What are we doing here?” I asked with curiosity.

“Training.” he opened my door and took my hand like a proper gentleman. I smiled while following him to the lake.

He removed his close and jumped into the water.

“Are you crazy? It’s like 15degrees.” I fold m arms and raise my brow.

“Get in, you have to face the unbearable moments of defeat the unknown.” He lectures. Really? This is how he wants me to face the unbearable. I think I’v

    I picked up Em from the ground and carry her to the apartment. Her face holds the most adorable smile and I can’t keep my eyes off her, until I almost drop her when I saw my mother lying in front of my door in her own puke, having a seizure.“Blake!” Emily yells when I put her down and run up to my mother.“What a fuck mom, what did you take?” I yelled when Emily pulled me away from her and turned to get on her side so as not to choke on her own puke.I grab my hair in frustration, and my entire childhood is having a feast inside my mind.“We need to get her to a hospital,” Emily announced, frightened.“No, I can’t have this all over the media,”“Blake, now is not the time for you to be ruthless. This is your mother.” Emily yells when the neighbour opened his door.“Get the fuck back int

    “Emily, Blake is here to see you,” Linda announced when she opened the doctor’s room where I was sitting and drowning in my sorrows.“I don’t want to see him.”“I told him that, but he said he’s not leaving till you come out.” I sigh in frustration, anger, or sadness. Either of them is making me feel sick.I stood up and walked to the front desk, where he was waiting. His eyes were bloodshot and looked like a total mess.“What do you want?” he stood up straight when he saw me, dragging his hands through his messy hair.“Thank you for taking care of my mother,” he said without apologising.“How is she?” I asked, folding my arms.“In rehab. I booked her in this morning.”“Good.” I turned around and walked back to the Ed.“So that’s it?” he yells afterwards. I stop dead in my tracks trying to b

  • Tough Love   A Chance for Reconciliation

    Blake's POV"I know, I'm fucking sorry. What do you want me to say? I panicked. I didn't ask for this Em," I yelled outside the bar, my voice filled with frustration and regret."You panicked? I had your mother in a bathtub with foam coming out of her mouth, your mother Blake," she said, folding her arms tightly across her chest. I could see the anger and frustration in her eyes, growing with every apology I uttered. The weight of my mistake was sinking in, causing my intoxicated body, bloody knuckles, and pounding headache to fade into the background. I could throw a punch, and make my enemies kneel, but I couldn't handle the overwhelming disappointment and frustration that radiated from this beautiful, angry woman standing before me.I was supposed to be her saviour, her protector. I was supposed to help her confront her demons and move forward with her life. Yet, here she stood, her emotions in turmoil, fighting with every fibre of her being to face my own demons and help me heal.

    Blake's POVThe sound of Emily's voice echoed through the office door of the gym, reaching my ears as I went about my business. Lizzy, always one to stir up trouble, seemed to enjoy taunting her, making it clear that I had no interest in seeing her. And truth be told, she wasn't entirely wrong. I had grown tired of people walking out on me, only to expect a warm welcome back once things settled down in their twisted minds."Can I please see Blake?" Emily's voice pleaded, but Lizzy stood her ground, keeping her on the other side of the door."It's okay, Lizzy," I finally intervened, opening the door to face Emily."Blake, you need to train, you can't..." she began to say, but I raised my hand, signalling for her to back off. I wasn't in the mood for her to tell me what I should or shouldn't do."Hey," Emily said softly, her voice carrying a mix of hope and uncertainty as Lizzy finally took the hint and retreated to the other side of the gym."Hey," I greeted her, my tone guarded.

    Blake's POV"Blake?" Lizzy called out my name, I could feel the intensity of the moment building. Behind the ally of the gym, Emily's eyes widened as I continued to pleasure her with my fingers. "Shh," I whispered, a mischievous smile dancing on my lips as I noticed the conflicting emotions of pleasure and shame on her face. "Blake, she..." Emily began to say, but I quickly silenced her with a passionate kiss before unzipping my pants and entering her. A moan escaped her lips, and I covered her mouth with my hand to muffle the sound. "Let go, Emily. I'm so close," I murmured, my eyes squeezed shut as I felt the rush of desire consume me."I'm. BLAKE!" she whispered as she finished along with me. "That was fun," I gasped, trying to catch my breath as I gently lowered her back down onto the hard concrete floor. Her eyes met mine, filled with a mix of confusion and desire. It was clear that this spontaneous act of passion was far beyond her usual comfort zone.But oh, the thrill of i

    “Please, you’re hurting her. She’s only 8 years old.” my mother pleaded for her drunken boyfriend to stop hitting me, just because I didn’t wash the dishes properly. “Joe, she can’t survive another hit, please stop!” she yells again, but he kept hitting me, telling me how useless I am. “You will never be able to stand up for yourself. Just like your father, you are useless. You will never find a man that will love you, only abuse you,” he shouts. I can’t even lift my head with blood surging out of my mouth. My ribs were full of bruises and my mother was crying for her useless abusive boyfriend to stop hurting me. “You want more? I can go all-new night, little girl,” he yells while he gulps a bottle of whiskey. My mother is sitting at the table, crying, but she’s not stopping him. I guess she&rsqu

    “Where am I?” the unfamiliar man is busy doing push-ups and God knows what. How did I end up here, but mostly, who is this handsome, gorgeous guy, shirtless, muscular man in front of me? “I brought you here. I actually wanted to take you to the hospital, but you were quite adamant not to go. What are you, some criminal that got a beat down?” he asked, his eyes dark and his veins visible from the workout he just did right in front of me. My face feels swollen and my ribs feel like they are crushing my insides. “If I was a criminal, don’t you think I would’ve been able to defend myself? And if you thought I was one, why did you bring me here? I can kill you.” he smiled while pulling his T-shirt over his head. My eyes moved to his boxers, staring at him like a pervert.&n
