Emerald looked at Clayton like she was a deer caught in the headlights.  LIke an angry lion Clayton stalked near them.   Emerald was expecting to be yanked away from Ian but the opposite happened.  Clayton took her gently from Ian and pushed Ian away from them.  “Are you hurt?” He saw Emerald backed away from Ian when Ian grabbed her hand.  He froze where he stood when she nearly toppled down and was angry by this. Emerald won’t be caught in the situation if Ian didn’t grab her hand in the first place.  “I’m fine, babe,” E

Freya’s heart sank into the depths of her stomach while her chest tightened.  Lowering her head in dejection, Freya hung up the phone.  Here she was happily telling Emerald that Red was finally accepting her and all of the sudden they were back to square one.  When will he finally let go of Emerald? This love triangle was really complicated. It would be easier for her if Emerald wasn’t her friend.  Emerald didn’t know what to tell at the moment. She silently consoled Freya as she took her hand and stroked it.  Not long after Freya hung up the phone, she looked up at Emerald, smiling faintly. “I have to go. Th

Unable to stomach what was going, Clayton stood.  “Let’s go,” Constantine stood as well, following his boss.  “Claiming the moral high ground,” Mr. Sealy sardonically said in the hearing of everyone.  Being accused as a self - righteous person should have riled up Clayton but he checked his emotion and didn’t give in to what Mr. Sealey intended.  “What do you want to do with him?” Constantine asked as they strode away.  “All actions have consequences, we don’t have to do anything to him,” Clayton didn’t want to use his time exacting vengeance. So long as they ke

Clayton turned his attention away from his phone and looked up to Emerald. Entrance by the dazzling smile plastered on the man’s face, Emerald, for a moment held back her breath. Clayton lifted his hand with his phone and said, “Take a look.” “No need.” Ashamed of her attitude, Emerald turned back. ‘You’re shameless!’ she said, reprimanding herself. Her body became taut upon sensing the man stood behind her. Heat emanating from his body. He placed his hands over her shoulders and slowly turned her to him. “I am giving you the right to look at my phone. You are my wife and there should be no secrets between us. We are one, so I don’t think you are invading my privacy.” To begin with, Clayton had nothing to be afraid of as he didn’t do anything to betray her. As a married couple they have to practice accountability so there would be no gray area in their lives. It’s easy for him to fall into a trap when he isn't accountable to his wife. He lightly pinched her chin and li

Clayton frowned that his heart leaped in excitement that the beautiful woman wasn’t his father's lover.  “She’s an orphan and has no family in Kraftgren. I have always liked to have a daughter,” Leonardo said and went to open the door upon hearing someone softly knocking on the door.  Opening the door, he saw Emerald, “Yes, Emerald?”  ‘Oh, her name is Emerald, just like the color of her beautiful eyes,’ Clayton said in his mind.  Emerald blushed meeting Clayton’s eyes and lowered her gaze, with a quivering lips, she said, “Dinner is ready, Mr. Strong.”  “By the
