Chapter 62

It was well past midnight when Will got home. Emma laid in her bed, trying to sleep but her eyes would not close. It was clear that he was trying to sneak around so as not to announce his arrival. She felt too drained to deal with him, and hoped he would just go to sleep. But to her surprise, Will crept into her room and into her bed. She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.​ Will snuggled up behind her, and hugged her. Had Emma not known about him being with another woman all day, she would have found the gesture to be sweet. But she was just irritated with him. He pulled her closer to him, and kissed her neck. She yelped in surprise when he kissed a sensitive spot at the base of her ear. She felt him smile against her skin now that he knew she was awake.​ “I’m home,” he breathed, and continued to kiss along her neck. He started to undo her pajamas, and that was too much for Emma. He had the audacity to try and be intimate with her when he was out all day with someone else

Chapter 63

Will’s eyes shot daggers in Spencer’s direction while his arms tightened around Emma. She tried to wiggle free, but Will’s held her in a vice grip. ​ “Again, I’m sorry about him,” she apologized, but her tone was angry. “Drive back safely.”​ Spencer didn’t say anything, his eyes shocked as he looked back and forth between Will and Emma. After a few moments a knowing smile stretched across his face. He chuckled, but the sound was awkward and forced.​ “Be good to her,” he said to Will. His voice was light and conversational, but will could detect the veiled threat beneath it.​ “You can go now,” Will glared at him.​ “Bye, Emma. I’ll see you later,” Spencer said, ignoring Will. He got in his car and drove away. Emma wedged her arms in between her and Will and shoved him away from her.​ “What the hell was that about?” she shouted at him.​ “Why were you there all day?”​ “You have got to be kidding me!” Emma yelled, but realized they were still outside. “Insid

Chapter 64

Will and his mother walked in. Julia Stewart wore the same sour look she had at the wedding. She glared at Emma.​ “Well, well, well. If it isn’t the little gold-digger herself. Ava, wasn’t it?”​ “Her name is Emma,” Will answered, his fists clenched at his sides. “And will not speak to my wife in that manner!”​ “Don’t raise your voice at me, I am your mother!”​ “You haven’t been my mother in a long time,” Will’s voice was dark. He was angry, but Emma detected a heavy sadness as well. Julia crossed her arms and scoffed, but had no rebuttal for him. Will ignored her presence and took his place at his grandfather’s side again. ​ “Pop, I spoke with the doctor. She said that you’ve not been well for a while. Why didn’t you say anything?” Will went from an enraged, wounded man to a scared, and caring grandson. Will hated to show any weakness, but Emma knew there was one weakness he could never hide. And it was how much he loved his grandfather.​ “What good would that

Chapter 65

Conrad’s funeral was massive. Emma and Will were wiped out physically from moving. Conrad had given them his home, and Will made arrangements for them to move in as soon as possible. Every important person the city attended, as well as the press. Will had closed all offices of Stewart Industries for the occasion so that the employees would be able to attend. ​ Emma stood at his side, greeting guests as they walked inside the funeral home.​ “Thank you for coming,” Will said robotically as people walked past him. Even as Alex and Sabrina walked in, he didn’t seem to notice them. Emma did her best to be the dutiful, supportive wife. She was worried about him. All he did was work. Meals went untouched, and he wasn’t sleeping. He looked worn and thin, like he could fall over at any moment. When her mother died, she was young. But losing someone you love hurts at any age. ​ There was nothing she could do for him. He refused to cry, or talk about it. He was drowning in his grief

Chapter 66

Of course. Of course, he was with Grace. He told her he needed to be alone. But it was so he could be with Grace. Why did she let this continue to happen to her?​ “Emma, you just say the word and I will end him,” Sabrina continued. “Girl, I swear to God, I will end him so hard that no one will even know he existed.”​ “I may take you up on that. Let me call you back.”​ “I’ll be here,” Sabrina promised and hung up. Emma sank into the couch and let her head fall into her hands. She grabbed one of the cushions and screamed into it. ​ “I am such an idiot!” she yelled into it. Rage, betrayal, and jealousy churned within the pit of her stomach making her feel sick. He could have told her that he wanted to see Grace. Why did he have to lie? Now she looked like to stupid pathetic wife of a rich playboy who was getting cheated on. If he had just told her the truth, she wouldn’t feel so bad.​ “Oh, stop lying to yourself,” she yelled at her herself, and hurled the pillow acros

Chapter 67

Emma was processing the fact that she had won a prize in the contest. It was more than she could have hoped for. Her phone rang, and she answered.​ “Congratulations!” Spencer cheered. “I just saw the contest results, and I saw you placed! Everyone in the industry is going to want you now.”​ “Thanks,” Emma smiled despite herself. “I think I’m still in shock. Getting to the final was great enough. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would place.”​ “I told you! I’m going to try even harder to get you to work with me. You’re the hottest new architect around. Let me take you to lunch to celebrate, and hopefully sell you on the idea of working here.”​ “Sure, that sounds lovely.”​ “Great! I’ll take you to this amazing place downtown. Dress nice. It’s on the fancier side.”​ “Spencer, that’s too much!”​ “Nonsense! You deserve it! Besides, you shared your homemade cake with me. I could never repay that.”​ “Okay,” Emma laughed. Send me the address, and I’ll

Chapter 68

Spencer and Emma went to a different restaurant. Emma was embarrassed by when Spencer had witnessed. Her and Will were married for such a short time. They should be in love, but now Spencer saw for himself.​ “I’m sorry you had to see that,” she said after they were seated. “I owe you an explanation. Will and I are married, but it’s complicated. Grace is like, the love of his life. She left him a while back, but now she wants him again. So, of course he is falling all over himself for her. I can’t tell you much more than that, but I can tell you that we aren’t in love. But we also aren’t in an open relationship either. It’s… convoluted,” she finished, looking down from him.​ “That’s a lot,” Spencer said. “We don’t have to talk about that. Just know that I’m here for you.”​ “Thank you. I appreciate that. Honestly, I don’t know why you’ve continued to put with this.”“Emma, please. You are more than your problems. And don’t worry. We really don’t have to talk about anything t

Chapter 69

There was always something to ruin the moment. The message made her stomach turn. Her blood turned to ice, and she wanted to throw up. She sat up in bed and furiously replied. ​ *What do you want? How did you get my number?*​ A response came quickly. ​ *We need to talk. Meet me on Saturday. The Hotel Belmont, Room 719. 3pm.*​ *No,* Emma typed back. Grace was crazy. Why was she doing this? *I won’t go.*​ *You better come. It’s about Will and his family.*​ Emma didn’t reply. *This is stupid,* she thought. Grace was not in her corner and nothing good could possibly come from meeting up with her. But her curiosity was getting the better of her. Nobody knew about Will and his family better than Grace.​ “Fuck,” she groaned. “Why is this my life?” Whenever she let herself believe things might work out between them, she’d get another sign. “Listen to the universe, Emma,” she said to herself. “It’s obviously trying to talk to you.”​ The water stopped running. Em

Chapter 70

Emma left her father in the morning, and arrived home. Will was waiting for her.​ “Come with me,” he said. “We’re going somewhere.”​ “Ugh,” Emma protested. “Why?” ​ “Come,” he insisted. Emma rolled her eyes, and remembered what she said to herself last night. *Just play the part, Emma.* ​ “Fine,” she acquiesced. “Whatever.”​ She followed him out to his car, and hopped in. Will drove in silence, and Emma’s head leaned against the window. There were many things she’d rather be doing. Hunting for a job topped her list. While Spencer’s offer was tempting, it still didn’t feel right. Winning opportunities through favoritism might be okay for the wealthy elite. Emma was determined to earn her place, to work for it. She zoned out during the drive, the hum of the car settling her frazzled mind.​ “We’re here,” Will’s voice pulled her from her trance. ​ “Where?” she said, but looked out and was surprised. Will had brought them to the hotel they went to when they fir

Chapter 71

The decision not to go see Grace was easy to make in the moment. As she lay cuddled in Will’s arms, there was no need for anything else. If she left, the spell would be broken. But, part of her wanted to go and see what she had to say. Moreover, Emma wanted to confront Grace herself.​ *If you love him at all, you’ll come*, was Grace’s message the morning of their meeting. The sunlight streamed in on both of them, framing them in golden light. She looked at Will, and realized she’d never really seen him asleep before. Every trace of pain, and egotism was gone. He didn’t have to pretend to be the master of the universe. She leaned back down and faced him. ​ *If you love him at all, you’ll come.* The message flashed in her mind over and over. It was easy to love him when he was like this. When he was sweet and sexy, it was impossible to resist him. When he was kind and vulnerable, it made her heart ache. She did love him despite every alarm bell going off in her mind telling her
