Emily's POV.I stirred gently in my sleep and slowly pulled my eyes open as the early morning sun rays penetrated into the room through the window. It was the first time I was waking up in the morning with so much happiness and peace of the heart. I had almost forgotten what it felt like to be so free and happy.I laid still in the bed for a few more minutes taking in the fresh breath of serenity before standing up and headed into the bathroom. I ran a quick bath and fixed myself together before making my way to the living room."Woah!" A light gasp escaped my lips as I felt a delightful aroma whisk through my nostrils. Someone was in the kitchen and whatever they were preparing scented so incredible. In a bid to satisfy my curiosity, I traced my step towards the kitchen and peeped through the door, my eyes widened in shock as my gaze landed on Adrian with his back against me as he diligently added different recipes into the pot on fire while humming to himself.I couldn't hold bac

Emily's POV. Adrian swiftly turned around to face me with a remorseful look on his face. "Emily, that was totally not supposed to happen, I'm really sorry," "It's... Uhm... It's fine, trust me, no offense taken," I stuttered, struggling to put myself together. That was a really weird incident, I mean, whoever that lady was, she truly was scary. "Don't take her words to heart, those were empty threats," he reached out to grab my hands, stroking them soothingly. I nodded slowly, trying so hard to hide my discomfort under a fake grin. I could tell she meant every word she said. "C'mon, let's eat now," he led me back to the dining. I desperately wanted an explanation for what happened, I wanted to know who she was to him and what could be the cause of their fallout, but he looked like he wasn't ready to talk about it yet. As much as I was desperate for a total disclosure, I also didn't want to say anything that would infuriate him more. No one said a word to anyon

Emily's POV.I looked through the window, tears clouding my eyes as Adrian drove us to the airport. He's had the company sorted and we were finally leaving the country. I couldn't believe I was about to flee the country with a total stranger. But instead of remorse or guilt, there was a pinch of happiness simmering at the tip of my stomach. I was leaving behind the horrible memories that I endured for four years, it was finally time to move on.Adrian was far from being a stranger to me right now. He was a good Samaritan, showing up when I needed help the most, and hasn't given up on me yet. I was glad someone with such a good heart like him existed, if he hadn't shown up when he did, I'd still be in the cold street right now.I was beyond happy he found his way to me just when I needed him the most and I was super excited to be relocating to London with him. It was obvious beyond every doubt that I was in good hands. But despite how happy I was, I couldn't deny that a part of my

Emily's POV. I couldn't help the cold jitters that ran through my entire system as we drove into the large mansion. Peeping through the window, I admired the elegant building and its beautiful environment. I was wowed but not really surprised. I was quite aware that Adrian came from a wealthy home, the above mansion was a testament to it. "Remain seated," he whispered to me, before getting down from the car. I watched in total confusion as he sprinted towards my side of the car, wondering what he was up to. He walked up to the passenger side where I was seated and pulled the door open. "At your service, mademoiselle," he said, stretching forth his hand towards me with a wide smile on his face. I couldn't help the laughter that bubbled through my mouth. "Well, thank you, kind monsieur," I placed my hand on his and he helped me climb down gently. Almost immediately, the front door flung open, and a few middle-aged men and women whom I assumed to be the house workers walked towa

Emily's POV. I was certain who the voice belonged to but to satisfy my curiosity, I turned around slightly and I wasn't wrong in my assumption. It was truly her. Elisha, Adrian's scary ex fiancee.I couldn't help but wonder why she was this persistent in getting him back despite being the one who cheated.I couldn't place my head around a tangible reason that could have pushed her to cheat on a man like Adrian. Liam was extremely horrible to me but never had I thought once of cheating on him. Elisha doesn't in any way deserve Adrian and I'm glad she was caught before she was able to lure him into marriage. This isn't in any way coming from a place of jealousy but care for the man who did everything to help me when I had given up on life. I do not have any romantic feelings for him and never will. I was more focused now on my wellbeing and that of my child. I do not have any plans of developing some sort of romantic feelings for any man. Not with everything Liam did to me."Elis

Emily's POV."This is ridiculous," Mrs Gonzalez breathed out, her gaze fixed intently on me."Alright, that's enough for now, we just arrived, and I'm sure Emily is jet lagged," Adrian quickly grabbed my hands."I'll meet you later for the report Dad," And with that, he led the way toward the stairs. "I hope this suits your taste?" He said as he led me to a large room, beautifully designed. "It's just for tonight, we leave for my house tomorrow,""It's perfect, thank you," I mumbled, my gaze fixed on the floor, unable to look him in the eyes. "You can settle in then, and get a good rest, you must be tired, I'll be in my room, if you need anything don't hesitate to have the house workers direct you to my room," he added and I nodded frantically.Without saying any more word to me, he turned around and headed out but I was quick enough to grab his hands before he walked out of the door."Uhm... Do you need anything?" His gaze was everywhere but my face, it was obvious that he was avo

Emily's POV.I stirred tiredly, my eyes weakly snapping open to a brand new day. I have never looked forward to a new day the way I desperately craved for it last night. It felt like everything kept going wrong with each passing second and the only solution was to magically jump into a new dawn.Well, here it was and I couldn't be more happy. It was finally time to leave the Gonzalez mansion for Adrian's home. I could tell it will be a lot of fresh air, and finally I could be somewhere safe from Elisha. After our encounter last night, she had left with heavy anger, not without mentioning that this was far from being over. I couldn't deny the fact that I was fed up already, this wasn't how I envisioned my life after the divorce to turn out. I wanted peace, which Liam never offered and I was determined to offer it to myself and my unborn child the best I could, but right now, it seemed impossible. Elisha was out to eliminate me from Adrian's life and Mr and Mrs Gonzalez doesn't see

Emily's POV.I refused to let Mrs Gonzalez's attempt to pay me off get to me. If I wanted such an easy way out, I would have taken the credit cards that Liam offered to me in a platter of gold, but that was far from being my problem. I needed a safe environment for my child and I, and that I must surely get.My bags were already packed, I couldn't wait to leave for Adrian's house. Maybe I could get some peace and quiet that I craved. I was determined to quickly find a way to sort myself out so I don't have to depend on Adrian throughout my stay here, despite the hand of help he has extended to me. I wasn't prepared to take advantage of that. Maybe I could get a job, that way I could provide for myself and my child, and then I could afford an apartment. I wasn't intending to live with him forever. He's done enough already. After getting my things ready, I laid back on the bed and awaited Adrian's arrival. Slowly I drifted off into a deep.A soft knock on the door jerked me up from

Emily's POV."It was nice having you here, Emily," Mrs Gonzalez blurted with a smile that anyone could easily detect was fake.She was walking us towards the car, together with Mr Gonzalez and Emma. "Same here, Mrs Gonzalez," I replied. "Do I look forward to you reaching out about our little discussion? I'm sure once you've given it a good thought, you'll come around," she winked secretly in a way, only I could see it. "I don't think that would be happening ma'am, but if anything changes, I know where to find you," I flashed her a knowing smile. I could see the tiny glint of anger flashing through her eyes but she tried so hard to hide it away. "You both are speaking in parables, is there something going on?" Adrian asked, dragging his gaze from me to his mother."Don't be nosy, it's strictly ladies' business, right Emily?" She turned towards me with a raised brow and I nodded slowly. The little walk from the front porch to the car seemed to be taking forever. I wanted to be as

Emily's POV.A soft knock on the door woke me from my deep sleep.Dragging my gaze to the wall clock, my eyes flew wide open in shock, it was mid morning. I quickly climbed down from the bed and headed towards the door. Pulling it open, a middle aged woman stood at the doorstep with a covered tray on her hands."Good morning ma'am," she greeted with a bow."Hello?" I replied curtly. "I brought your breakfast ma'am, you didn't come down to the dining room so I decided to bring it up here," she said."Uhm... Who are you?" I furrowed my brows at her. "My name is Helen, I'm the chief cook, the rest of the house workers are back too," she replied."Oh, uhm... Come in then," I mumbled, stepping away from the door and she walked in.My gaze followed her every move as she walked towards the center table and dropped the tray, then bowed and left.I couldn't help but wonder why she kept bowing to me? And referring to me as "ma'am" Walking back to the bed, my eyes suddenly landed on a littl
