Ashton's POV
' Emelia Carter huh....or should I call her Emelia Walker now. It would be suitable since she was now married into the Walker family, a multi-billionaire family that owned one if the greatest entertainment business in the world ' And to think someone like her had once been married to the likes of my brother, it was still hard for me to believe. Damien had not only abused the woman, but he had shattered her heart to pieces when he had taken her sister as a lover, then went on to illegally harvest her organ to save his mistress. This was indeed a tragic villain story. I understand why Emelia had decided to marry someone else just to have enough power to get revenge. It was the one explanation why she was back here and demanding to do business with my company, a company I had taken from Damien. I sighed as I read through Emelia's files. As amusing as I found all this, I can't dismiss the fact that my brother's Ex was now a threat to me. If I wasn't careful she might be able to discover my secret, afterall she had spent three years married to Damien, surely she must not know him enough to be able to decipher him from a lookalike. And to make matters worse, I had been ignorant of her when she first approached me, because I hadn't known who she was then. It was a mistake that might come to bite me in the back later. This was all so frustrating. I had managed to get rid of Damien and take over the family business with only a few people knowing the truth, if others found out about it then it would no doubt spell trouble for me and what I was trying to achieve. " Alpha, What do you plan to do with her?" Deric asked, he hadn't left after delivering the files to men " There's not much I can do to her. This isn't the Lycan Empire, my actions won't go without repercussions here. Also, she isn't just an ordinary woman now, her involvement with the Walker family makes her hard to simply dispose of " " She is familiar with Damien, and unlike Sasha who is terrified of you, Emelia has all the protection she needs from her husband. If she discovers the truth then she can easily expose you. She won't be threatened into silence " " You are stating the obvious " I scoffed in displeasure. Deric knew to no longer say anything when I was in such a sour mood. To say I wasn't pleased with this development would be an underestimation. It was already hard having to deal with Sasha and Damien's mother ( I would never admit she was my mother as well ), if Emelia found out it would only complicate matters. And I couldn't simply hope to avoid her, not while she was insisting we work together. And knowing how much my company would need this business deal, it would be wise to turn it down unless I wanted to make the media suspicious. " Fuck!" I slammed my fist hard on the table, the coffee mug I had left by the edge of the table tipped over and smashed into pieces. Deric didn't comment. I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed deeply. " There's no point stressing over this. I'll simply do my best to stay in character whenever I am around her. Do well to wake me up for tomorrow's meeting " " Of course " " You may retire for the night " " Yes Alpha " Deric left the office. I stayed behind and read more on Emelia, what stood out to me the most was her rocky relationship with Damien in the earlier years before their marriage. They had been together briefly, but my brother had dumped her and gotten together with Sasha. So why then did she agree to marry him after his betrayal, surely she mustn't have been stupid enough to think he would give Sasha up. In a way whatever happened had also been due to her own stupidity. But again love was hard to overcome, I feel bad for her. But not enough to let her ruin my plans. I retired for the night, choosing to get enough rest before I would have to encounter Emelia tomorrow. However, a thought occurred to me. If my brother's ex wife was back, then it would only be a matter of time before she contacted her sister, and Sasha was one of the two people who knew about me. But she knows better than to open her big mouth, she would regret it if she does. Still, I would have to speak to her soon * * * I was awakened to the sound of my phone ringing. I reached for it groggily " Yes Deric " " Alpha! Don't tell me you are still sleeping, did you forget about the meeting?" I glanced at the time, I hadn't realised that it was this late. I must have been more tired than I realised. " Right, I'll be right there " " Emelia would be pissed. Please don't forget that she is the sole heir to the Walker Corp, if she doesn't sign this deal then your company would be at risk of going bankrupt. Your entire plan would be jeopardised " " Enough stating the obvious Deric. Send the team there first, I'll be with them shortly " I cut the call and got out of bed, getting ready however was another matter entirely. I cleaned my teeth and did my best to tame my hair, but before I could think of taking a shower, my phone was being blown up by calls from my directors. With a sigh I went to my car and set off for the Walker CorpEmelia wasn't impressed by my tardiness, the glare she sent my way was enough to give away, yet for some reason she didn't bother bringing it up. She was the boss here, she held all the cards, yet she was being understanding enough to take my excuse. I knew immediately that she had something up her sleeve. This woman hated me ( or my brother ) with all her being and she would never do anything without purpose. " Shall we begin, Mr West? " She gave me a mocking smirk as her assistant presented me with some documents. I only read through the first half of the contract before I felt anger burning inside me. " She wants me to sign away half my stock shares to you?" " It is for your own good. Your Company is already going under, and it might not survive the few months that would come. I can not invest in a Company I have no assurance would last long enough to produce any profits. So giving me half the Company entails that I will take better care of it than you ever could with your res
I hated Damien more than ever. He had not only reminded me of how badly he had treated me in the past, but he had done it in front of my employees, those people who already hated me and wanted to see me fall. I was sure the gossip would spread by tomorrow morning, I couldn't imagine being in the office with people who talked badly behind my back." Are you sure you wish to keep him here?" I was brought out of my thoughts by Winter's nurse. I had brought the woman from the hospital along with my husband to properly take care of him. Now that I was in charge of Walker Corp, I hardly had time to look after Winter, he needed professional aid, and I trusted Emily enough to bring him home." I trust you would be able to provide him any medical assistance he would need " I told her while taking a seat beside Winter. I ran my hands through his soft black hair " I feel safer having him here with me than at the hospital "" I understand Mrs Walker. I will do my best "She gave me a smile before
Emmett doesn't seem convinced. He rises from his seat slowly and closes the distance between us with a few steps. He was standing too close for my comfort, but I didn't want to think he intimidated me by stepping back " You know, Valet has an awful resemblance to you. If you really want me to do this, you might as well take her place and perform the kissing scene with me "I was frozen at Emmett's words. He used the opportunity to run his hand across my arm in an intimate manner that had me flinching back. I was almost tempted to ask him why he was acting like this, but knowing him, he was probably doing it to rile me up or to create a scene. We were already getting looks from some of the crew members that lounged around the area. " That won't be possible " I told him simplyHis gaze narrowed at me in displeasure. " You don't want to do it?"" In case you've forgotten, I am not only your boss, but your brother's wife. "" But my brother isn't here, how would he know?"I was running ou
Damien's approach had drawn the attention of almost every person in the room. Well, I wouldn't blame them for looking, after knowing the nasty nature of our past relationship, they must have all expected that we would avoid each other, especially after those pictures of us were leaked to the media. The only saving grace about this whole thing was that the paparazzi hadn't been allowed inside the event hall or it would have been messier than this." Mr West " Emmett was the first to break the awkward silence. " It seems you have some interest in my sister in-law "" Whatever interest I have, it's of no concern of yours " Damien said without looking at him, his gaze still remained fixed on me, he was taking in my appearance shamelessly, I was sure everyone had noticed as well.Emmett sure noticed and he wasn't very pleased with Damien ogling me. His arm tightened around me almost possessively. I was a bit confused at both of their behaviours, why were they giving me so much attention?"
My thoughts were cut short when someone cleared their voice. As I turned to look at Sasha who had walked up to us, I found myself yanking my hand away. A feeling of self disgust threatening to overwhelm me. What the fuck is wrong with me? Had I just been tempted to make out with Damien? My Ex husband Damien? The man who had made my life a complete misery five years ago? Damien didn't seem very pleased by the interruption either. He was probably not happy at having his manipulation being cut short." I heard you were back in town " Sasha said, she glanced warily at Damien, I could swear I saw fear in her eyes as she quickly turned them to me. " I didn't dare believe you would wish to speak to me, but mom and dad have been very worried about you. They asked me to come here in hopes of meeting you "" How very kind of them " The memory of my parents only further soured my mood. I remembered my dad blaming me for my failed marriage and my mother begging me to forgive Sasha. " Send them my
A kissDamien West was kissing me. It was something I had dreamt about when I was younger, to feel his lips against mine. But I had no hope of it ever happening because Damien had made it clear on the day of our wedding that he had no interest in getting intimate with me. And yet here we were, pressed together and making out so passionately. His tongue had slipped into my mouth and was sucking against my tongue sweetly, I could taste the wine we had shared half an hour prior.His arm found the curve of my waist and pulled me closer to him, if that was even possible. At this point I wasn't even sure I could ever get over what a damn good kisser Damien was, he made my entire body go weak and only the pleasure of his touch registered to me.' Of course he is good at kissing ' The dark part of my mind which wasn't high on Damien's touch said ' He must have kissed a lot of women 'And that was the reality wasn't it? Damien was nothing more than a playboy, he had happily kept that reputatio
I didn't feel like facing the paparazzi again, so I asked one of the staff to show me a back exit. I waited briefly outside before my driver arrived and took me home. The moment I arrived at the mansion, I rushed upstairs to Winter's room. My arrival had startled the nurse." Mrs Walker?" Agatha rose from her seat, she watched me warily " Are you alright dear?"" I'm fine, don't worry about me " I gave her a smile which seemed forced even to me. I gestured over Winter's restful form on the bed " I just got back, I wanted to check on Winter first "" Do you wish to clean up first?"" No...I...this won't take long "Agatha must have sensed my emotional stress. It seemed like she wanted to say something more but decided against it. " I'll give you some privacy " She said as she took the book she had been reading and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.I walked slowly to Winter's bed and slid to my knees beside him. I laid my face on the soft bedding and felt the tears ru
Ashton's POV" Oh fuck...yes!!"Panting, moans, the sound of skin slapping against skin echoed in the dim bedroom. I couldn't hold back a low groan of pleasure as the woman riding me rolled her hips in a way that made my cock slid deeper inside her. She was so fucking good at this that I could simply lay back and enjoy her efforts. Well, I did hear she used to be in the porn industry in her younger years before she came into acting, she must have had a lot of practice." Take my Cock! take it!"" Yes yes yes! Oh mhm, I can feel you hitting my walls..." Valet slurred as she rode me faster. Her short blond hair was messy, her face was flushed and her black eyes were glassy from the pleasure. Looking at her, a picture of someone else came to mind. Despite how much I had tried to deny it, the reason I had taken Valet as my lover the night prior was because of the resemblance she had to...that woman.I could have had the real thing in my bed, I would have ensured to give her the pleasure D
