Chapter 3 - A Different Emerald

Emerald emerged onto the runway and rocked a silver strappy plunge long gown with a slit at center of the gown. Emerald exuded an otherworldly beauty as she did her catwalk on the runway. From top to bottom she looked fantastic and stunning. Clayton's irises darkened as he scanned Emerald from her beautiful face, down to her fair and slender neck. His eyes moved to her sexy collarbones and shoulders. The valley between her bosoms was not missed out by his scrutiny as they went down to her tiny waist and further down to her sexy slender thighs and legs. The Emerald in front of him was the exact opposite of the docile and dull wife who waited for him at home. This Emerald before him emanates wildness. Clayton's throat bobbed up and down as he swallowed while his eyes were transfixed at Emerald's bare back showing her fair, flawless and glowing skin. Lizzy who sat next to Clayton was green with envy. She snorted and mumbled, "A country bumpkin will always be a bumpkin no matter wha

Chapter 4 - Regret and Nostalgia

Simultaneously, admiration and amusement colored his eyes at how she quickly managed to fabricate a story without stammering. He underestimated Emerald. He had seen Emerald twice at his father's mansion before they got married. The imprinted impression in his mind that this woman was timid, boring and dimwit "Alright, let's go now.

Chapter 5 - Bad Tastes in Men

Emerald recognized that voice. It belongs to Red, one of her male friends. With a wide and bright smile she turned towards Red, but quickly her smile faded away as soon as she caught sight of the man beside Red. "You did great!" Red raised his hands with thumbs up and he walked near Emerald. "How long have you been here?" Emerald asked, ignoring the man standing next to Red. Clayton wanted to engulf her into his embrace. But held back as he didn't want to make another mistake that would cause her to run away again. Unconcealed adoration and longing danced in Clayton's eyes as he stared at the woman he had been searching for a long time. Last time, he saw her in an evening gown which stunned him. Today, she had the same effect on him even when clad in a race suit. "An hour?" Red said as he looked at his watch. Emerald nodded and acted normal as if she was unbothered with Clayton's presence. "By the way, I would like to treat you for lunch together with my cousin here," Red poin

Chapter 6 - Undying Love

Emerald didn't slap him when he forcefully kissed her a year ago but what she said was worse than a physical slap.Clayton couldn't say anything to refute her. He had it coming. If he treated her differently. Respected her even though their marriage was an arranged marriage it wouldn't arrive at this point that Emerald would treat him as a scumbag. It was all his fault. "I agree with Shannon, you have a great taste. I remember when we were abroad when I got sick and you took care of me. The food you cooked or bought was superb!" Red had shining eyes as he reminisced about those time he had with Emerald. Bile of jealousy was surging into Clayton's throat from the pit of his stomach when he heard Emerald took care of his cousin. Clayton wanted to shut Red's mouth to stop him from blabbering."Fine, fine, I'm going to order food for you," Emerald chuckled.Red really wanted to gain Clayton's approval and he was confident that Emerald wouldn't fail to leave a good impression on Clayt

Chapter 7 - Held Responsible

Up close, Red could see Emerald's nervous fidget while seated on the bench outside the emergency room.Self absorbed, Emerald wasn't aware that Red was closely observing her. Unable to hold back, Red opened his mouth to speak out his observation. "It seems that you and my cousin have known each other." Emerald snapped back from her musing, abruptly turned her head so that it hurt her neck a little. "Nonsense, I don't know him," Emerald just hoped Red would believe her and ask no more questions. "The way you called his name felt like he's someone close to you and why did you cry?" Red couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something between Clayton and Emerald. "I was the one who ordered the food. And if he died, who would be held responsible? The time his life ends, so does my career. Do you understand it?" Emerald stood up, feigning anger so as not being interrogated again.Comparing the two cousins, Red and Clayton both are good looking men but Red was inferior when it co

Chapter 8 - It Wasn't Her Role

Without making a noise she closed the door. She's no longer Clayton's wife so she has no right to make a ruckus. It's Lizzy's role anyway. Speaking of Lizzy, she came as soon as Emerald turned her back. Lizzy didn't notice her as she was busy answering a call while making her way to Clayton's room. Lizzy stood rooted on the floor upon seeing Clayton being hugged by a woman while he slept. "What are you doing here?" Her loud voice woke up Clayton. The antihistamine Clayton took made him sleep soundly and wasn't aware that Shannon came in the middle of the night. Clayton was so shocked that he froze and was unable to push the woman hugging him. Lizzy pulled Shannon's hair making Shannon fall from the bed. Lizzy took advantage of it and sat on Shannon's body while slapping her. "You whore!" Fully awake, Shannon fought back. As a woman who was used to manual work, Shannon was strong and agile, hence she overpowered Lizzy. She flipped Lizzy around and was now on top, reversing the s

Chapter 9 - A Likable Person

Emerald parked her car and alighted from the vehicle. And then, strolled towards her apartment building. As she was entering the lobby she heard someone calling her. She turned towards the source of voice and saw Red. He was standing beside the guard. "What are you doing here?" Emerald asked as she approached Red. "It's been a while since the last time I saw you," Red said, looking at her with pleading eyes. Considering that Clayton was not with him, Emerald had no reason to refuse him. She only avoided Red because she didn't want to cross paths with Clayon again. What she witnessed in the hospital altered her decision. Initially, she accepted the fact that she and Clayton will eventually meet again because of Red. But seeing how Lizzy went berserk when she saw Shannon lying on the hospital bed with Clayton, she feared that she would be misunderstood by Lizzy and create a scene. She knew Lizzy was not afraid to hurt her as she tried to do it multiple times. She was fortunate

Chapter 10 - Walked Out of His Life

It was really Clayton and not a product of her imagination. Emerald, however, kept her mouth tightly shut and refused to talk to the man. A glum settled on Clayton's chest as Emerald regarded him as some stranger in the street. As though a large rock was pressed against his chest making him difficult to breathe. Emerald wondered who he was going to see at this time of the day. It was nearly midnight. With a chiming sound, the elevator stopped on the 20th floor and opened. Placing a hand on the elevator, Clayton gestured for Emerald to step out first before him. Raised and taught by her parents to be polite and grateful, Emerald said, "Thank you." Though she said it in a polite tone, it was tinged with distance and alienation. Wistfully, Clayton watched Emerald walk away as in reliving the day she walked away from his life. Why didn't he realize sooner that he fell in love with Emerald? Didn't they say that regret always comes at the end not in the beginning? But Clayton was
