Chapter 82

It had a few weeks since Emma and father had moved to Lyncrest, and she started her new job at Spencer’s firm. She fell into an easy routine of walking home during lunch to check on her father and take a walk with him. His speech had greatly improved, and Emma was excited about how much better he seemed. There was still a long way to go, but recovery was in sight. However, Spencer and Emmett were concerned as her morning sickness was getting worse. She was pushing herself to do too much and soon, she wouldn’t be able to take care of herself and her father.“You don’t need to come… every day, you know,” Emmett commented during one of their afternoon walks. He held onto his walker as they meandered around the park.“I want to,” she smiled up at him. “I love that you do… but you need to think about… yourself. And the baby.”“We’re fine.” Emmett frowned. He was beginning to feel like a burden to his daughter. All she did was work and care for him. She was young, and beautiful. He wante

Chapter 83

“Is everything okay?” Spencer asked as Emma got back into the car. He noticed that she seemed distracted. “Oh, yeah. Saying bye to my dad was harder than I thought. Thank you for this,” she said. “Please, Emma. I’m glad to help you in any way I can.” And he meant it. The next few weeks had gone better than before. Emma was loving her team, and they were doing amazing work together. Emma had started to show, and her coworkers loved to dote on her. Her father was flourishing at The Ivy Gardens. He loved it there and she visited every weekend as promised. She brought him a copy of the ultrasound of the baby. He showed it off to all of the other residents. Her fears about her relationship with Spencer remained unfounded. They stayed friendly, and he kept everything professional and light between them. Help from him never came with any conditions. He was in the office every few days to check on things, and always made sure to check in on Emma. He was truly concerned with her and her

Chapter 84

“Good morning, William,” his father barged into the office.“If you need money,” Will sighed. “Call the accountant.” He said without looking up. He was growing of his parents walking in and out of his office like they had a right to be there.“That’s not why I’m here.”“Then what do you want?”“Your uncle Robert is coming back from Singapore.” That got Will’s attention. Robert coming back was not a good thing. Stewart Industries was founded by Conrad and his younger brother, Warren. They were successful partners at first, but it was discovered that Warren was embezzling funds from the company, bribing competitors and government officials, extorting and blackmailing employees, as well as selling company secrets. Warren was removed from the company by the board and arrested for his crimes. It was a dark blot on the family history. Conrad had always been ashamed of his brother and strived to restore the image of his company. Warren’s son, Robert, took his place. Robert was always resent

Chapter 85

“That piece of shit, good-for-nothing…” “What’s going on?” Will was about to walk out of his office when Sabrina burst in. Alex followed behind her. She threw a newspaper at his face. Will was stunned by the attack. He gathered up the flying pages and saw why Sabrina was so angry. Blazoned on the newspaper, was the headline: William Stewart to Marry Childhood Sweetheart, Grace Cunning. A short story followed. After a whirlwind marriage and surprising divorce, William Stewart surprises again. Following the tragic passing of his beloved grandfather, William Stewart called his first marriage quits. Sources say that he has finally found true love and hopes to start a family soon. The wedding is scheduled for next month at… Will stopped reading. His blood boiled in his veins. “How could you?” Sabrina screamed. “Was this your plan all along? To marry my friend and then dump her so she could be the laughingstock of your high society bullshit?” “Babe, please calm down. This isn’t good fo

Chapter 86

Grace was perched on the couch waiting for Will to walk in. By now, he would have seen the news. His father worked a lot faster than she thought he would. She’d have to pretend to be surprised when he arrived. She knew he’d be pissed if he found out she had planned this with his father. This was a well-orchestrated scheme, and she would have to play her part well. Will found her still sitting there when he got home. Before he could speak, Grace began the conversation. “You saw the papers, I take it?” “Yeah,” he sighed. He sat beside her, and Grace couldn’t help but notice how despondent he seemed. But she didn’t care. The life she wanted was in her grasp, and she didn’t intend to let it go this time. “Listen, I…” “I didn’t realize that’s what you wanted,” she interrupted him. “You’ve been so cold lately, so I thought you didn’t want me. I thought that maybe you had me here out of pity. It’s such a creative proposal,” she gushed. “Grace, I didn’t…” “Yes, I’ll marry you,” she sque

Chapter 87

“Breath, Emma,” Spencer tried to soothe her. “I… can’t…,” Emma was hyperventilating. Spencer sat her down on the couch and got her a cup of water. “Take a sip,” Spencer put the glass to her lips and coaxed her to drink. After a few sips of water, Emma was able to get her breathing under control. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think it would affect me so much. My emotions are everywhere. It’s the hormones,” Emma tried to explain away her reaction. The vice grip the William Stewart held around her heart had been all but gone. But now it was like it never left. “You don’t have explain anything to me. You can just talk.” “I’ll be okay,” Emma said through her crying. “We were only supposed to be married for a year anyway. Our relationship wasn’t real. Our marriage was technically arranged. We met under… some really strange circumstances. And life kept throwing us back at each other. We got married because it was convenient to the both of us and his grandfather wanted us to. But after Conrad pa

Chapter 88

A month had gone by. Will’s life was a blur of wedding plans, important meetings, caking tastings, work presentations, suit fittings, and he felt empty throughout the entire time. He lived his life on autopilot. Grace had planned a stunning and elaborate affair. However, Will insisted it be a private ceremony, with only friends and family in attendance. It would take place in a small chapel just outside the city. The reception was set to take place at Grace’s family’s home. He wanted as little fuss as possible. Grace had tipped off a few reporters, so they were waiting outside of the chapel when they arrived. She wanted to the world to know she was going to be Mrs. Stewart. Will stared at himself in the mirror, a fog taking over his mind. Jason had ensured that he looked amazing but couldn’t commit a single detail of his suit to memory.“Hello, Earth to William,” Jason tried snapping Will back to attention. “You are very far away.”“Um, just nerves, I guess,” Will lied. Memories of

Chapter 89

All of the lights in the house were dimmed when Will arrived. The hazy glow of amber candlelight flickered from the dining room. Will followed and was greeted by a gorgeous scene. A sumptuous and decadent dinner was laid out on the table. A bottle of his favorite wine was chilling in an ice bucket. Two glasses had already been poured. Soft violin music was playing in the background. Everything was bathed in the gentle golden shine of the candles. In the center, was Grace. She wore a flowing blush colored wrap dress. Her hair cascaded down in soft waves, just the way he had always loved. She was vision, and for a moment he was transported to a simpler time. “This is really nice,” Will said, some of the ice inside him melting. “You look beautiful,” he commented. “Thank you. Have dinner with me,” she gestured toward the table. Will pulled out a chair for Grace, and she floated down into it. He sat across from her. “Have some wine,” she said drinking from her own glass. Will sipped on t

Chapter 90

The next morning, the tension was thick between them. But not the kind Grace wanted. If will had been cold before, he was glacial now. There was ice in his eyes when he looked at her, and she should freeze whenever he looked at her. She had expected anger, but this was worse. Anger was an emotion. That would have been better than the chilly nothingness he looked at her with. “Um…” Grace squeaked. “I’m sorry about last night.” Will stared at her. “I was just so desperate to reawaken what we had.” He continued to stare at her. “Please say something.” “Did you mean any of it?” his voice was frost. “Any of what?” Grace played dumb. “I don’t have time for games. Did you mean any of the words you said last night? You know, before you drugged me.” “Will please… you have to know how sorry I am about that. It was stupid and I…” “How am I supposed to trust you again after that? If you’re capable of that, what else are you capable of?” Will asked.“I really am sorry. I’ll earn your trust

Chapter 91

Along with Grace’s regular visits to the office, Will’s parents started visiting his home. Grace was the happy, courteous, and elegant daughter-in-law society dictated she should be. Will wanted nothing to do with them, but Grace continued to welcome them over and attend to them. She would do anything that it took to solidify her position in the Stewart family. Will felt it was strange that his parents were coming together. Since they’d been separated, they had lived their lives apart. They used Will as a weapon against each other, claiming that the other one was abusing him. He was in and out of the tabloids as a child. They were so busy fighting each other that they never bothered to love him. They had a deep, and passionate hatred for each other. So, them coming to see him together was suspicious. “Hello, darling,” Julia gushed as she walked in. She greeted Grace with exaggerated double air kisses. “You are such a lovely new bride.” “Hello, Mrs. Stewart.” “Oh, honey no. Please
