Chapter 11: Mr Kingsley, Why?Emily CarterShe walked all around the house, admiring every interior and touching everything she can touch and she couldn't even believe it at first that she was hereShe walked all around until she found herself in the kitchen once again and the her mind just clicked 'maybe I should cook something to show how much I am thankful?' she said more to herself then she took out the ingredients to make some spaghetti and meatballs, which was something she was good at and was hoping he would like itSomehow she felt uncomfortable, Adrian Kingsley was her boss and being in the same roof as him? That was a different story, she even stopped herself midway making the dinner when her thoughts ran wild ' am I doing too much?' that was the loudest voice but she brushed it off and continued to cook until she was done__An hour later Adrian walked into the house to Emily dishing upHe froze for a second at the door as the aroma filled in the house,he spotted her immedi

Chapter 10: I'm a good person Emily EmilyThe first thing that I felt was nothing, just nothing. It felt like I wasn't even alive, I didn't feel any pain, any hurt... just nothing. And then, as if I was being pulled by an invisible force, I heard a faint beeping sound from a distance.Slowly, I started feeling all my limbs, and soon enough I felt my eyes flutter open. I almost closed them with how bright the room looked, and then I smelt it... I was in the hospital. I should know very well the smell of hospitals, I was up and down for many years before my parents died...Hospital?Then my mind started replaying the moment in slow motion, Willard... Mr Willard. My eyes went huge and my heart started pumping hard as I felt my breath getting shallow, as the scene replayed in my mind faster now, and I started to whimper."No, no!" My voice wavered as I felt the hot tears in my eyes."Emily, Emily," a voice calls out to me, and I turn my head to see Adrian... Mr Kingsley walking in, more

Chapter 9: How can I help you Mr Willard?EmilyI am seated in my apartment, staring at nothing and everything all at once, my mind refusing to rest as it keeps replaying the moment in the elevator over and over again like a cruel reminder that I cannot escape, the way his voice dropped low without warning, the way his eyes lingered on me like he was seeing something he should not, something that made my skin crawl even now as I sit here alone, trying to convince myself that it meant nothing, that I am overthinking it, that I am safe, but the feeling refuses to leave me and instead settles deeper into my chest like a quiet warning I cannot ignoreI sigh again, the sound heavier this time, slipping past my lips without permission as I lose count of how many times I have done that in the last hour alone, it feels like I am trying to breathe out something lodged too deep inside me, something that refuses to move no matter how much I try to push it away, and eventually I force myself to s

Chapter 8: Will you pick that up?EmilyPRESENTI breathe in and out slowly as the knock sounds again, louder this time, heavier, like it carries intention, like it carries him. I already know it’s him. Seth is at school and the house is quiet, too quiet, the kind of silence that presses against your chest until breathing feels like work. I should have left, should have gone out to run some errands, but I didn’t. I stayed, because I knew he would show up and I wanted to be here when he did. My feet move before my mind can catch up, each step toward the door heavier than the last, my heart pounding so hard it feels like it might give me away before I even open it.When I open the door, I am met with those cold grey eyes once again, and my heart betrays me instantly, skipping, stuttering like it remembers him before I can stop it. “Adrian…” I say softly, his name slipping out like it still belongs to him. He slides his hands into his pockets and tilts his head to the left, that same til

Chapter 7: You smell nice too CynthiaGwen Fucken Blackwood… What is she doing here!? My heart skips another beat as she smiles at me, her hair a little messy and I notice a faint trace of lipstick on her lips, My heartbeat quickens… Please, don’t tell me…My eyes wander further, and they land on Adrian. He’s in his shirt and sweatpants, the casualness of him somehow making my chest tighten even more, "Don't worry, he just ate, love… You can just go home," Gwen whispers as she walks past me, her heels clicking against the floor with that infuriating confidence. I can’t look away as she disappears, leaving a trail of perfume and unease behindGwen Blackwood… Adrian's first love, the only woman he was ever capable of loving, and as far as I know, she is engaged to his father… I only know this because I’ve spent hours researching him, piecing together the women in his life like some obsessive puzzle… I turn back to him and sigh, feeling the weight of it pressing down on me"What was she

Chapter 6: Adrian and I are friends EmilyI walked through the corridors of my apartment with bags and bags of new clothes and shoes, my arms slightly sore from the weight of them my mind was not here though, it was somewhere else entirely, tangled up in thoughts of Cynthia and Adrian, should I even call him Adrian or my boss? The question lingered longer than it should have, I shook my head as if that would clear it, but it did nothing.What did Miss Veronica mean when she said she was after Adrian? Are they dating? No, she said she was after him, and that means Cynthia is actively going after Adrian, why did I not know about this? the thought sat heavily in my chestI was confused because I thought we were best friends, and best friends were supposed to know everything about each other, yet here I was, finding out today that there was a man she liked, and now that man was my boss, and not just any boss.I am Adrian Kingsley’s secretaryNot just any secretaryI will be beside this m
