Author's POVThe atmosphere in Smith International has been heavy since midnight when Nova Brandon got missing. All the major meetings and conferences are put on hold when David has been trying his best to locate Nova. At a moment, Olivia insists on taking the case to the high department of the police commission when Nova finally shows up in the office. Relief gets back to the surroundings, not because all the employees like Nova, but Oliva had forced everyone to worry about her and stopped all the major work.As soon as Nova steps into the office, everyone gets back to work."My goodness, Nova. Where have you been the entire night?" Olivia snaps at Nova, seated in her cabin with her head hanging down."I'm talking to you, Nova. Do you have some sense left? We had been worrying about you the entire night and I don't know where you were messing up with"Nova heaves her head up towards Oliva with her burning gaze."It was all because of you", a groan escapes her mouth, leaving Olivia s
Emily's POVI step into the building with a pounding heart. I don't know how Kane is gonna react if he finds me here. But I couldn't stay back at the cottage when tension was crumbling inside me, knowing Kane might be the last person Nova was with. Nova has been missing and Kane isn't answering my calls since the morning.I badly need to talk to him about Nova's disappearance. When Mr Smith asked me about her, I didn't tell him anything about Kane. God knows why I'm even trying to hide it. I believe Kane isn't straight behind all this but there will be some connection. I walk towards the elevator faster. Kane's cabin is on the next floor."Miss Benson!" Hearing a familiar voice, I turn around, finding one of our clients, Mr Standford standing over there. "Hello, Mr Stanford", I force a smile. After the last incident, I'm still not out of embarrassment. Nonetheless, I'll have to work with these people. There's no point in hiding around."You're late", he folds his lips. "We were ab
EmilyMy legs wobble to the response of my pounding heart as Mr Stanford surges towards us. Kane tilts his head backwards, my anxiety rising.I wonder what Mr Stanford is gonna do or say in front of him. I'm not ready to take more hurtful words from Kane. He had no mercy left for me when he leaked our pictures. How can I even expect from him he'll not blame it all on me?He's not the same Kane I knew once. "Mr Gabriel, glad that I got you here", Mr Stanford maintains his gaze on me with that creepy smile on his face. I hate to be looked at by him now when I know how disgusting his thoughts are for me. I wish I could escape.But I can't. Reason!I'm a woman!And I'm not rich!Gulping down, I downward my eyes and wait for the storm to come. My eyes start welling up. "Miss Benson was telling me about her plans. And I must say, I'm impressed"With my eyes flinging up at them, I gasp in shock. Mr Stanford keeps the smirk on when his eyes land on me. By that gaze I can say things are goi
Kane"You're not gonna beat me. Are you?" Her eyes shiver, anguish filling in them. Her rosebud lips slightly part and seal within nanoseconds. It brings an unexpected laugh across my face as I touch her cheek, tucking a few strands of hair behind her ear. She squirms away nervously, her eyes still darting at me. "You're not so innocent. Are you? I can't believe it" I chuckle at her confusion-filled eyes. She literally didn't understand what I meant. "But I think you are- in a few things. Don't worry. I'm gonna make you experience everything"I see her gulping down slowly. "When did you start having such kinks?"Her face curls up into a frown as she finally comes out of her frightening shell."From the moment, you walked into me again and kissed me," I say straight, watching her ebony black eyes enlarging at me. It's so fucking true that all my desires of four years were bottled up when she walked into me. She has to fill the voids she made in my life for the last four years. It'
Kane I can feel her body shivering. "Kane, please," she pleads and I freaking enjoy that. The next second, I nudge her around and bend her over the centre table, sticking her ass out. I rub her ass cheeks with my palm, delivering shivers all over her as she groans."Kane! Ahh!" She whimpers as I spank across her ass. "Fuck, baby. I didn't even spank your bare ass. If this takes your breath away, I can't believe what will happen when I'll print your beautiful bare ass," I rasp, fisting her hair and yanking her head back to look at her face. Her eyes are wet. And I suddenly feel a bit weird. That wasn't even so hard that she would get hurt. She was supposed to have pleasure. But— maybe, the pleasure is overwhelming her. And why am I even caring if it's torture for her? I hold the edge of the towel and gradually pull it down. "Kane!" Her whines go painful. "Please, don't!"I stop. I shouldn't stop.No! Just continue, Kane. You're not supposed to listen to her. She's bound to you.
KaneI literally shuddered on the spot. My head went numb— completely numb for a whole second. I pushed my brain to work. I already believed it must be mine. It had to be mine. Maybe, the birth control didn't work and she got pregnant. "Pregnant?" Still, I tried to make sure I heard it right."Yes. She's three months pregnant," she said.That was it.My hands slipped down from Emily's shoulders. My brain stopped functioning completely.Three months?"Three— three months?" My voice shook and I looked over at Emily in disbelief. "Three months?" I repeated.How could she be three months pregnant when we literally had sex seven months ago? That was so fucking impossible. Was I really doubting her? The love of my life?How could I think like this? How could I have such a thought? Maybe, something was wrong. Something went wrong.If she was actually pregnant, that must be my baby.I knew her. I trusted her. But she chose to be silent, lowering her eyes like a culprit. It only increased
Emily I literally forgot about it and I don't know if he said something to Kane. Gulping down nervously, I mutter. "He said he just wanted a briefing. That's it""Just a briefing? But why you?" His voice becomes a bit harsh. We're still in the same position, my hand still working and I'm glad that he's not looking at me. His eyes are closed when he's asking all this."I don't know. May— maybe, because— my presentation got interrupted," my heart started beating thousands of times faster. "Is that so?""Yeah""You mean that's it. Nothing else happened?" His way of talking scares me. But I know he keeps doubting me all the time now. I can't tell him anything. He's not gonna believe it anyway. Besides, I don't want any mess in this project. "Yeah," I mumble with a pounding heart.Kane slowly wraps his hand around my waist, sliding his hand into my top. He touches my flat belly and caresses it with his knuckles. I suck the air and gasp softly. "I hope you're not lying to me, little
EMILY"Yeah", Kane utters as I immediately put my gaze down. "But I'll be back in a while""Oh! Are you leaving, Miss Benson?"I just nod, looking down and holding my bag as tight as possible. There's an enormous storm blowing inside me. "But I requested you to continue the discussion today, right? You kept cutting my calls"Damn! Why is he doing all this? Undoubtedly, Kane is gonna doubt me again and I don't know what's waiting for me. His actions are unpredictable. "Discussion about what?" Kane asks. "I guess the presentation had it all""It's just random", Stanford laughs.Both of them go silent again and I hope they stay like this. But my anticipation isn't gonna wipe away so easily. I feel Stanford brushing against my torso, taking the advantage of the crowd. His elbow is so close to my body that I fear getting touched. However, I squirm against Kane and make sure he doesn't notice anything. Leaving me in surprise, Kane comes in front of me and rests his both palms on the elev
