Chapter 121 Meals and reveals

Logan's POV As I drove into my courtyard, I couldn't shake off the feeling about what transpired between me and Emily a while ago. I could recall how she was so concerned about me. The way she pulled me to safety. Everything happened too quickly but it was so intense and suspicious.I parked my car and sat in for a while, the thoughts replaying in my head. Her wide eyes, face filled with worry and how she had touched me left me curious.I took my gaze to my wrist where she had touched me. I wouldn't deny that I felt some electrifying spark run through me where she had touched me..“Emily. Are you sure you're alright?” I asked, as though she was right here with me in the car.Her face still flashed in my thoughts, her cologne and warmth still lingers like permanent stains. I knew her response to my question was rehearsed. Her eyes hold something – fear.I turned off the ignition of my car and extracted my car key from the ignition before alighting from the car.I strolled into the hou

Chapter 122. Feeling nauseous.

Logan's POV “What are you trying to say, Logan? What makes you think Martha made them?”“Because I can tell… she does all the cooking in the house.” I countered.“Well. You're wrong today. I was the one who prepared your meal today.”Vivian liedI scoffed, and took a glass of water to drinkDropping it on the table, I said, “Well. I walked in on Martha preparing the meal, so that settles it – she's definitely the one who made it.”Vivian gasped, and shook her head. “I only told her to watch the meal while I went inside to receive a call.”I could sense that she was lying so I called Martha.“Yes, sir.” She replied “Who made the meal?” Martha paused, fearing to stare at Vivian.“You don't have to be scared.” “I made the meal but missed it. Vivian was also with me while I was preparing it. We diced some ingredients together.” She replied, trying to cover up for Vivian.I let it slide and brought up a new topic.“I thought I gave Martha a day off, Vivian. Why did you threaten her no

Chapter 123. A text from Lorenzo

Emily's POV The morning light illuminated the room, rays from the sun seeping through the blinds. The blaring sound of the alarm pierced the silence, and I stretched my hand to smack it.I yawned as I got up from the bed with my arms wide apart. It was a Saturday morning, and the sun was up already, casting its warm glow on the city. “Eight thirty,” I mumbled after stealing a glance at my wristwatch. I stared at myself in the mirror, a warm smile tugged at my lips but when I recalled everything that happened yesterday. The threats, Colin's secrets and my conversation with Logan.I walked into the bathroom and sank into the bathtub, letting my head rest against the edge as I stared upwards. As I relaxed, the warm water came in contact with my skin and I felt a sense of calmness wash over me.“Collin…” I said and then sighed, the weight of betrayal hanging heavily on my shoulders“Each time I think about you, I feel I still don't know who you are.. .” I said, staring into the dista

Are you alright?” Carl asked, his brown orbs hovering over Emerald’s features, a hint of concern in themThe thunder rumbled and the clouds congregated, their dark masses ominous and foreboding.

Do you think it's going to rain?” Carl asked, clutching Emily’s hands tightly, a hint of fear in his eyes.“I think so…” Emily replied, her voice near a whisper.“Are we going home now?” Carl asked, and just then, Emily's phone buzzed, the sound cutting through the tranquility.

Chapter 126. Salvatore's Protection Services.

Emily's POV My chest constricted as the time ticked by.. That afternoon after picking Carl from school, I relaxed on the sofa and watched his favourite animation with him. I tried to engage in some activities with him so I could shove off those pressing thoughts in my mind. Minutes turned into hours and it was eventually in the evening. Carl shifted his gaze at me and asked, “Mom. I'm getting hungry. When will I eat dinner?” “I'll go prepare your favourite meal now,” I said, brushing his hair with my fingers. After planting a kiss on his head, I got on my feet and strolled to the kitchen. “Help me with the utensils. I'm about to make dinner,” I said to her as I grabbed a green apron and tied it around my waist.After styling my hair in a bun, I seasoned the salmon with salt, pepper and some herbs.“I need you to cut the asparagus into spears, Brenda,”“Okay, ma'am.” She replied politely and did as instructed. When she was done cutting it into spears, she gave it to me while I st

Chapter 128. Betrayal and deceit.

Collin’s POV I tried reaching Emerald for the umpteenth time, but all I got was the same robotic voice on her cell phone: “The number you’ve dialed is not reachable at the moment. Please try again later.”A deep sigh of exhaustion escaped my lips as I tossed the phone on my sofa. My stomach bubbles with frustration as I clench my fist. Gritting my teeth, I banged my fist on the wall and growled.“What have I done? What the fuck have I done?. I - I failed you, Emerald. I'm at fault for everything that happened between us,.now I see why you haven’t been picking my calls.”Those words rolled out of my tongue with tears stinging my eyeballs. Bringing my hand upward, I brushed my fingers into my hair and sighed once again.“I’m at fault for everything that happened.. I should have just told her the truth back then. I recalled when Colin had told me to make her aware of my involvement in the Mafia but I had refused. I should have told her since..” I walked into the kitchen and placed my h

I walked towards him and planted a kiss on his forehead, brushing his spiky brown hair with my fingers.“Goodbye, Carl. Enjoy your day at school!” I whispered to him, watching him scurry off to meet the other kids in the school bus.

Your phone is ringing,” She mumbled, stretching her hand to give it to me.I took it from her, my eyes hovering over the screen to check the caller ID.“Kate…” I whispered, a smile on my face. After picking the call, I brought the phone to my ear.“Good morning, Kate.” I greeted, walking back into the mansion with Brenda trailing behind me“Morning, Emerald.
