THE END NOTE
The journey of Kane & Emily ends here. You may find the epilogue a bit incomplete because Samuel hasn't accepted Kane wholeheartedly but there was indeed a step toward him. Such kinds of relationships are hard to form. and I hope this loose ending of their relationship doesn't look too negative at all. I tried to make it bitter-sweet as it certainly is in the real world.Let me know how you found the book overall. What you loved, what you hated.This book was a spin-off of my other book MR CEO, MARRY ME ON CONDITIONS. Many of you might not know. Kane and Emily were the side characters in that book. And I hope you could read it as a standalone.I'm plotting another book in this series. you might have guessed until now. Chrisanna and Samuel.I'm not sure when I'm gonna start writing that book. I'm too busy this month. even the next month can be hectic. I'll most likely write Samuel and Chrisanna's book in September. You may follow me on Instg with my pen name already written in my goodnovel profile. you'll get the info about the new book over there.This book definitely does not end with a cliffhanger. I hope you found it bittersweet.Thank you so much for patiently waiting for the updates and helping me to finish it. I had so many messes in my personal and study life but your encouraging comments made me want to write more and more. I wouldn't be able to finish it without your lovely support. Hugs!"You may kiss the bride" With the echoing sound of heavy claps, Stanley Smith gets hitched to the son of her brother's business partner. The entire venue has been decorated for the most awaited wedding. Almost every person wears a smile on their face whether out of joy for the newly married couple or not. Among all the happy faces, the twenty-six years old woman in a red sleeveless shirt, paired with black pencil skirt is standing like a statue, her eyes darting on the newly married couple. It's not like she is unhappy with the marriage. She shares no relationship with any of the bride or groom. Letting out a deep sigh, she claps along with others. Emily Benson is a young woman with attractive features any woman wishes for. Still, there's not a single streak of pride in her actions. She is a social worker and owns the most reputable agency in Austin. H
Emily's POV"What did you think? You'll escape so easily after messing with me again?" Hatred is visible in his ruthless voice as he adds another finger.His other hands come to wrap my jaw in a tight grip."Not anymore, little dove. You have messed up with me enough and escaped easily. Not anymore"I know what I have gotten myself into. He's not the same person I loved once. Not anymore. He has turned completely the opposite, filled with hatred and anger, each word from his mouth reveals his burning hatred for me.He pulls out of me, leaving me breathless.I'm not done yet. It's so painful, so frustrating."Kane", I suck my breath. "Ple
Emily's POVSuzzane has been trying to reach Mr Smith since the moment we got to know about his sudden decision. I'm still in a shock— too stunned to get my brain to work. Why will Mr Smith do that with me at the final moment? Is Olivia behind this?I remember after disappearing for the dare, I didn't show up. Kane didn't let me. Did she think I ditched her and left the venue?Lord! She can't do this just because of a dare. "Emily, are you alright?"I hear Suzzane, laying my head on my desk, my eyes closed. Nodding slowly, I let out a deep sigh and get on my feet. "Are you going somewhere?" She asks."I'm around. Keep trying to reach Mr Smith" I walk out of my small cabin, striding through the corridor. With the cold breeze hitting my skin, I look around at my tiny sector, surrounded by greens, and birds chirping through the nes
Kane She has changed so much— so freaking much that I had to function my brain when I landed here and scanned her from head to toe. This woman aged like fine wine and turned into a drug for me after the last night. I thought I would never be able to get attracted to her anymore. But the hell! She has become even sexier than before. The only difference is I can't find the woman I love anymore. Whenever I look at her, only two things cram inside my chest. Hatred and lust. As she keeps gaping at me in disbelief with her ebony black eyes flaring up in shock, I trace my thumb seductively across her jaw. The nervousness and terror in her eyes and the building tension in her body make her look even more appealing. "It's— that's not possible," she sucks in her breath, struggling to get freed from my grip as I clasp her delicate arms more tightly. "Why so?" "You won't under
EmilyWhen the sun rays enter my room through the window, my eyes are opened wide. I couldn't sleep the entire night, sensing that Kane had been in the living room. I'm so glad that he didn't bang into my room. I literally don't believe him on that. Climbing down from the bed, I slid my feet into the slippers and walk towards the door nervously. It's still the dawn and I believe he's fast asleep. Twisting the knob, I come out of the room, discovering him fast asleep on the couch. The couch is too small to take him all in. His leg is almost on the ground. For a second, I feel bad for not letting him in. It's too cold at night and the living room doesn't even have a furnace. However, I was scared that he would end up taking my leg over again.My legs automatically move towards him with my eyes darting toward his face. Despite trying not to drift my attention to him, I can't help staring at him with my hollow eyes
Kane's POVHer body stiffens with my abrupt question, her gaze darting down. I can see the lines of stress forming on her face as she clutches the clothes tightly in her hands. Stepping inside, I kick back the door, slamming it shut and stride closer to her, leaning toward the closet."Did he leave you?" I shrug, my eyes capturing every small change in her reaction. Her jaw is clenching harder as if she's trying to hold something back. "We got separated," her voice comes out as a groan."And what about the child?""He took him," her voice cracks as she tilts her head aside, slowly wiping her tears off. I keep gazing at her intensely. Why on this damn earth did I fall in love with this woman so much? If I hate her from the core, it's only because she was the one I loved the most. "You didn't try to get your son back?"She remains silent for a whole minute before looking back at me, her eyes simmering. "My past life shouldn't matter to you anymore. I believe there was nothing in the
EmilyWith humiliation, anger boils through my veins. I drop my gaze, swallowing the simmering gossip behind me. I have never thought Kane can stoop so low to do this just to hurt me. He gave me the pen drive with all my paperwork. There's no way such pictures can be in this. When I lift my gaze, I find his eyes on me— steady and intense."Oh! I think there has been some malfunctioning with the projector," Mr Smith speaks out of nowhere. "The wedding pictures got messed up. I'm sorry, gentlemen"He bows and smiles in front of the clients as the lights turn on. Mr Smith is definitely trying to cover up the mess created by us. I can still find the weird gazes sparkling at me. That's so fucking humiliating. "Nova!" Mr Smith calls out. "Until we get the entire presentation fixed, why don't you show us the rough details about the costing""Yeah. Yeah, sure," Nova forces a smile and rushes out of the conference room."Gentlemen, should we check out the rough details of the costs first? My
KaneWho the hell did this to the tire? I kick against it in frustration. There's no way it can get punctured while staying in the same position. That means someone messed up with the last two tires."Isn't there a single-vehicle available?" Nova curls up her face. "No""You have a spare car, right? Where's that?""I asked my driver to drop Miss Benson", I tell her. Nova's reactions stiffen as she pulls on a dirty look."Oh. I should have known that. Anyway, we can cancel the plan then. I'll have dinner with Olivia in the office""No. Wait", I scoff, scratching my head as Nova passes me a wide smile. "We can hire a cab though it's gonna take some time""I can't believe that you really want to go on a dinner date with me""Of course", I smirk. "It's been a long time, right?""Yeah. It's been so long. In fact, it's the first time I can see your interest in having some time with me", she decreases the gap between us. Keeping the smile on, I take a step back. "Let me book a cab"I calle
