Emily's POV."Mom called a few minutes after you left for the meeting," he said, his voice heavy with emotion. "She told me about the information a detective revealed about Elisha, and you knew about it all along."I suddenly felt my knees go weak. This was my biggest fear, and it was beginning to manifest."I was going to tell you," I protested, my mind racing. "I just..."You what, Emily?" He cut in roughly, his voice stern. "I'm not sure I understand your hesitation, keeping this from me was a betrayal of my trust, and I can't believe that you would keep something so important from me," I felt tears welling up in my eyes, but I managed forced them back. "I was trying to protect you," I said, my voice breaking. "You were already under so much stress. I didn't want to make things worse."Adrian shook his head, his expression unchanged.I continued regardless, my voice growing more desperate as I tried to explain myself"I know that keeping this from you was wrong, but I was trying

Emily's POV.It's been a few weeks since the meeting brouhaha.I had been so scared when we didn't get a response from them for two days, I was beginning to think that they found a more eligible company for the contract. But my worries were wiped when they finally came through with the contract a few days later. Adrian had been so happy signing the contract that he took me out on a dinner date, and gave the house workers the day off. It was all merriment for the Gonzalez and I couldn't be more glad that it was all happening because of my efforts.I couldn't help but kept wondering what would be Mr and Mrs Gonzalez's reaction once they found out about my involvement in their fortune.Adrian had insisted on telling them about it but I advised him against it, I didn't want to get them to like me by such means. If they aren't going to like me naturally, then they do not deserve to like me at all.A soft knock on the door snapped me out of my trance."Yes?"The door creaked open and Ad

Chapter forty three.

Emily's POV. I placed a soft knock on Adrian's door and waited for his response. I had his drugs with me, as it was time for him to take them before going to bed. It's been few hours since he returned from work. Adrian has recovered fully over the past few days, and he has resumed fully resumed work as well, but he needed to still continue taking his drug for a few more days. "Is that my favorite pregnant lady?" I heard his voice from the room.I couldn't hold back my laughter.Adrian was effortlessly free spirited and loved to joke around.It was one of the many things I like about me."Adrian, come get your door please, it's time to take your drug before you go to bed," I said, my voice loud enough for him to hear me from inside. "Come right in, the door is open," he replied.Balancing the tray on one hand, I pushed the door open with the other. "There she is," he smiled as I walked into the room."Hi." I inched towards him on the bed. "Do I still have to take those?" He groa

Chapter forty four.

Emily's POV."Emily for goodness sake, we are going to be late for the appointment with the doctor, hurry up already!" Adrian groaned for the umpteenth time as he knocked on my door.It was weekend and we had a checkup appointment with the midwife. Adrian had gotten ready a long time ago, and here I was, changing from each dress to the other. My tummy was beginning to protrude making most of the dresses look ridiculous in my eyes.Finally, I was able to pick one which safely covered my baby bump. "Alright, I'm just going to wait for you in the car," he spat, and his footsteps retracing followed. I could tell he was pissed but what do I do? The dresses are to be blamed, and my protruding belly as well. Quickly grabbing my bag, I ran out of the room, all the way downstairs. There was no trace of him anywhere as I got downstairs. "Hi Emily," Helen greeted, she was watching a tv show. Adrian allowed them do whatever they wanted, if they were done with their work. More reason they

Chapter forty five.

Emily's POV.My eyes flew wide open in shock as his words streamed into my ears. He flashed me the most flirtatious smile I have ever seen on him, stroking my hands gently. "I know you do pumpkin, I've tried hard to ignore it but I can't anymore." Suddenly, the spark I felt was replaced with a strong wave of fear sweeping over me.No!This can't be happening.I can't be feeling this way for someone I met barely few months ago.It was more heart shattering knowing that I actually wanted it.I felt disgusted. I shouldn't feel this way for another man who isn't Liam, despite the divorce.Why does faith enjoy punishing me so brutally? Why does it bless me with something good and then make it impossible to truly call mine? Why does it feel like life generally doesn't want to see me stable and happy? I quickly withdrew my hand from his and recoiled back in the bed."Adrian, please, I can't do this now," I breathed out in a low voice, I could barely hear myself. I was overcome by the ext

Chapter forty six.

Emily's POV.Adrian and I walked side by side as we walked into the building, my heart racing with excitement and anticipation. It had been a few weeks since I started working at Adrian's company, but I still felt the same rush of pride every time I stepped foot inside the building.The air today seemed to hum with energy and possibility, the smell of coffee wafted through the air, mingling with the faint voices from nearby offices. I had a meeting scheduled in few minutes time, making it my second business since I started working here. Thankfully, I was beginning to get used to it and the nervousness has flown out of the room."You're going to be great as usual, Emily," Adrian said as we approached the elevator, giving my arm a gentle squeeze. "Thanks Adrian," I flashed him a warm smile. "You don't know how glad I am that I'm finally doing this,""Well, enjoy it while it lasts my lady, you have barely two months before you wrap it up for the baby," he teased. "Don't be such a spo

Chapter forty seven.

Emily's POV.My gaze on him intensified as the words left his mouth.I was taken aback by his invitation, my thoughts racing. It was inappropriate and unprofessional to leave the conference room without finalizing the business. But on the other hand, he seemed harmless, and judging off the fact that he was coming from the connners of Mrs Marilyn, what could possibly go wrong?"That doesn't entirely sound bad," I said, my voice hesitant. "But I'm not sure if that's appropriate, given that we're still in the middle of a business meeting."Tyson waved his hands in the air, indicating that it wasn't a problem."We are only going to continue the discussion, Miss Emily, you have nothing to worry about," his voice was quite persuasive. "Besides, it's important for colleagues to get to know each other outside of the boardroom, don't you think?"I hesitated for a moment, but then nodded afterwards "I guess you aren't wrong," A warm smile spread out on his face "Great," he said, standing up.

Tyson looked up at him, a look of confusion on his face. "Is there a problem?" he asked, his voice friendly but questioning.Adrian stepped forward, his eyes narrowed. "Yes, there's a problem," he said. "You can't just take my employee out for lunch without my permission. What kind of game are you playing here?"I quickly stepped between them, my hands raised in a calming gesture.I was taken aback by Adrian's anger. "Adrian, I'm sorry if this seems inappropriate," I began, trying so hard to sound convincing. "But I assure you, it's purely business, Mr Tyson has expressed interest in my marketing campaign, and thought it would be a good opportunity to discuss it in a more informal setting."Adrian looked skeptical, his eyes darting between me and Tyson. "And what's your interest in this, Mr Tyson?" he asked, his tone still suspicious.Tyson's expression was calm, his eyes narrowed slightly. "My interest is solely in Emily's work, and nothing else," he said, his voice level and clear.

Emily's POV. "Please hold on, we will soon be there," Helen tried to console me as we drove to the clinic.Eric drove into the clinic building with a loud screeching noise.He pulled the door to my side of the car open and yet again, scooped me into his arms, hurrying into the building. As soon as we were closer, the midwives who had sighted us from afar quickly ran towards us, and helped us in."Hold still please, this is going to be a lot easier if you hold on strong," the chief midwife said, helping me to lay on the bed.The rest of the midwives gathered around us with different equipment which I assumed was for childbirth.Helen was allowed in as well. My heart skipped as the midwife began to stretch my thighs wide apart.This is really happening. I'm about to become a mother."Emily listen, you have to be strong for this, don't be scared, okay?" I nodded slowly. "You are tensed, you don't have to be, relax your body so it would be easier for us," she continued. "Helen, I'm
