CHAPTER 11

BACK TO WORKIt's been 2 days since James got that gut wrenching from an unknown caller. James and Emily obviously knew who had called but that didn't stop Emily's heart from quivering everytime she remembered. **two days ago. 8:56pm**“Well, hello there, Mr. Knight.” James looked at Emily, putting the phone down on the table and switching to speaker phone. “Who's this?” James asked and Emily gave a nod of head, agreeing to the question. “Oh, you know who this is, let's skip the part where you play dump. I'm coming for you. For all of you.” The voice at the end sounded augmented, but they knew who it was.“Why don't you come out from the shadows huh?” Emily said, voice sharp. “If you're so confident, stop hiding behind a mask.” A very sinister laugh followed after an awkward moment of silence. “Oh with time, Mrs Knight. And bother tracing this call, it's a burner phone.” The line went dead, James quickly texted the number to his head of security asking for a follow-up trace on

CHAPTER 12

MEMORIES, OH MEMORIES Emily turned on her bed. Sighing, she stood up, headed to her phone, then dropped it back on the table it was. She had talked to Cassie like an hour ago, it would be too weird if she called back right?.It was a Saturday morning, James had gone to only God knows where, she was bored out of her mind and couldn't find anything to entertain herself with. She would've gone outside for a little shopping or something but that annoying tall man was always following her everywhere and he was damn good at it.Emily had decided to go downstairs that morning, to watch the TV, or maybe interrogate the house workers a little bit. She agreed the first one would be better, she didn't want to impose. As she decided down the stairs, heading to the kitchen to get something to eat whilst she watched the TV. A voice interrupted her.“Good morning, dear.” Emily turned to see an older woman, descending from the staircase like a literal goddess. Everything about her screamed eleganc

CHAPTER 13

FALL INTO THE ROUTINE The morning was a lazy one, James had already gotten up from bed, and he prepared for his day in the office. Emily was still asleep, and the staff in charge of her well-being said so. He decided to leave behind a note on her bed stand. Emily stretched from her bed, she could smell the cologne James usually wore and wondered if he had been in her room while she was asleep, the thought alone excited her.Her guess was right when she turned to see a piece of paper, sitting alone on her bed stand. She took the note, reading its contents.“There's a charity gala we're meant to attend later this evening. A dress for the event is being provided. Just make sure you get there on time. I'll be waiting.” –James. He even signed the note, knowing fully well that she knew it was him. Typical James. She smiled at the letter. He always had a way of making his demands sound like invitations, and Emily wasn't complaining. It was almost eleven, and Emily was already late for

CHAPTER 14

SURPRISE VISIT The next day, Emily woke up finding no cryptic note by her bed, but a small box, inside the box, was a delicate and beautiful bracelet. Emily stared at it for a while, not knowing how to feel. But warmth filled her chest, and she took the bracelet, putting it on her left wrist. She wasn't sure what was changing between them. It wasn't perfect or anything, but maybe, just maybe they were finding themselves. Emily decided that morning that she was going to visit James in his office, partly out of curiosity, and because her father wanted her to at least learn the way things were in the Knights Empire. She could also use the opportunity to thank James for the gift.After preparing, she headed outside, but James's head of security beat her to it. He held the door open for her. She got in without any argument because, frankly, she did not have the strength. Walking into the Knights building, Emily couldn't help but feel overwhelmed as she looked around, it was definitely b

CHAPTER 15

SHARED SPACESOver the next few weeks, Emily and James fell into a rhythm. Emily worked in her father's office and accompanied James to a series of events as his loving wife. Meanwhile, James settled into a rhythm of working relentlessly, juggling his growing relationship with Emily in public. One random evening, Emily stood in front of the kitchen counter. Experimenting some recipes she found while scrolling through the Internet. James walked in and found her wiping flour off her face. He stood for a moment, clearly surprised by what he was seeing.“What are you doing?” He said inna mocking tone. “What does it look like I'm doing?” Emily shot back, using one hand to force close the microwave and the other to wipe flour off the counter. “Well, it seems like you're trying to cook.” James looked round the whole kitchen. “But failing, miserably.” Emily gave him the stink eye.“Need help?” “You cook?” She eyed him skeptically. “I think I'm better than what you're currently doing.” H

CHAPTER 16

FRIEND OR FOE?The man who had barged into James's office like he owned the place, stood in front of them. He was tall, a few inches shorter than James, he was dressed in a very well tailored dark suit that oozed luxury, he had sharp features and piercing eyes that stared into your soul. James stood his ground, he clenched and unclenched his fist, giving the strange man a menacing look. James could not recognise him from anywhere and that thought alone unsettled him because he was right here in his office, his territory. “Who are you?” James repeated the question, more demanding. The man laughed, he wasn't at all bothered by James's reaction towards him. He stretched his hand to him in a form of handshake but James ignored him. He withdrew, sliding it in his pocket. “I sincerely apologise for my imperative entrance. My name is Isaiah Langwood.” The man said, his voice as sharp as he looked. “I am part of a team of International investors and we're looking into partnerships with y

CHAPTER 17

MISUNDERSTANDING The ride back to the house was very quiet and the atmosphere felt tense. Emily kept staring outside the window, letting her thoughts drift back to what Isaiah had whispered to her. What did he mean by what he said?James noticed Emily's mood, she wasn't one to keep quiet during a ride. She always complimented at least one thing on the streets. He decided to question her.“Is everything alright?” He started cautiously. “Did he say anything to you?” Emily snapped out of her thoughts, turning to him. “You heard?” Emily asked, shocked. “Well no, your expression is saying a lot.” James answered. Right. He was very observant.“He just said something very odd to me. Emily paused for a moment. “It's probably nothing.” James adjusted himself on his seat. “Emily, if it's something that has you thinking like this, then it's not nothing. I don't trust that man and if he said something to you, tell me.” It was a command that Emily could not disobey. “He just whispered some

CHAPTER 18

FEELINGS?The next day, James sat at his desk, reviewing documents sent by Isaiah regarding Jacob. There wasn't really much to look at, it didn't say what kind of criminal Jacob was and what sorts of things he'd done, it was just a bunch of documents James didn't understand and instead of cracking his head further, he dropped them into a drawer. He believed Emily would tell him all about Jacob when she's comfortable enough. Emily walked in with two cups of coffee and one packed sandwich. “You didn't go out for lunch so I'd figured you'd need these.” She dropped the cup on his table, holding out the sandwich to him.James collected the sandwich, placing it on his desk and going back to what he was doing. “Thank you.” He said curtly. Emily took the seat across from him, she took little sips from her coffee. The silence made her uncomfortable so she decided to break it.“I think you're spending way too much time on this stuff. I believe Isaiah so you should take a break.” She said sof

CHAPTER 19

THE PITCH The quiet hum of the car engine filled the atmosphere, Emily stared out the window as the drove through the city test beautiful morning. She kept thinking about Isaiah and what ways he'd affect the company since he just joined them officially days ago. His pitch and whole demeanor had won over the board of directors. They didn't know Isaiah worked as a secret agent because he said telling her and James alone had put him in so much trouble with his superiors.James sat next to her and noticed how she had been quiet and they're halfway through their destination. “You've been awfully quiet. Are you okay?” James asked, breaking the silence. Emily smiled. “I'm fine, just thinking.” “Is it about Isaiah?” James asked, Emily looked at him in shock.“How'd you know?” She asked him, the surprise still evident on her face.“I've had the same thoughts too. But it's alright, I'm sure everything will work out well.” James said, offering her a reassuring smile.Emily felt taken aback b

CHAPTER 20

OVERSEAS Emily sat across from James in the plane, he was going over the details of their first deal before they landed. Brad and Cassie seemed to be having the time of their lives as they chatted away together. Meanwhile, the other person in the plane sat alone by the end. With a glass of wine in hand, quietly sipping as he did something on his phone.When Isaiah announced he was coming with them, eight confused eyes stared back at him. But James's look was mixed with a little irritation, he didn't want Isaiah to go with them. To be honest, he felt really uncomfortable around the guy but he agreed for Emily's sake and because Isaiah said it was important for him to be there too as a joint partner. Isaiah hadn't said a word since they got into the plane and it was two hours before they landed in London. Emily looked over at the rest of the people and everyone seemed occupied with one thing or the other so she decided to get a shut eye before they landed. **********“Emily.” She f
