An Heir for the CEO Chapter 17
The last two days have been a real rush for Emeraude. Leaving home in the morning and returning at night, running from one place to another, chasing the final details for her store. Exhaustion was evident, and doing all this with two children in her belly certainly tired anyone.Her mother had called, announcing that she would come with her father. Emeraude was happy and sad at the same time. Sad because of the lie they believed to be true, a charade that had been suffocating her for the past few months. Not that she didn't like Cassian; she did, but not with a passionate love. Over this time together, they got to know each other better, discovering things that neither knew, and that was interesting. Cassian was becoming a friend, caring, helping, and sometimes reprimanding, like now."Emeraude, you're not going," he said, and she huffed, crossing her arms, sitting on the sofa."I need to," she repeated for the tenth time, but he seemed indifferent."Tonight is the opening. I'm sure B

FLASHBACK...Emeraude's father approached Cassian while he leaned against the car, waiting with him. A conversation was necessary, and Cassian was sure her father wasn't thrilled about the birthday party."Cassian, what are you doing here?" her father said as he stood in front of him. "Did Emeraude invite you?""I wanted to talk to you first," Cassian said, and the father nodded, giving him a stern look. "But not here.""There's a café nearby," the father suggested, and Cassian nodded, opening the car door. They both got in, and Cassian started the car, heading to the mentioned café.The journey unfolded in silence. Cassian tried to think of things that would make him appear like a great son-in-law, but his mind was blank. So many qualities, and none seemed to fit. He parked the car in front of the café, and they got out. The father chose a table in the corner, and a waitress came to take their orders, but neither of them ordered anything."What do you want to talk about?" the father

Emeraude awoke, eager to share breakfast with her parents, whom she deeply missed. After freshening up in the bathroom, her cellphone signaled a response from her mother, bringing a smile to her face. A quick shower, followed by the choice of shorts and a loose tank top that revealed her pregnant belly, preceded slipping on comfortable ballet flats.Heading towards Cassian's room, she noticed his absence, deducing he had already left. She grabbed the car keys, locked the apartment, and smoothly made her way to the hotel where her parents were staying. At the reception, they awaited her with packed bags."Daughter," her mother said, embracing her. Emeraude expressed the desire for them to stay longer, but they promised to return after their trip. Her father, changing the tone of the conversation, speculated about the baby's gender. The discussion shifted to her father's wish to teach his future grandchild to hunt.After loading the suitcases into the car, she suggested taking them to t

The next day..."Come on, Emeraude," Cassian called from the living room.Emeraude grabbed her sunglasses and her bag, slipped on flat sandals, and left the room to join him in the living room."Let's go," he said as soon as he saw her in the living room."Are you nervous?" she asked, and he shook his head.They left the apartment heading to the elevator, and soon Cassian was by her side wearing his sunglasses. Today, they were going to look for an apartment for her."I've selected three that I thought were good, close to the store and here. If you don't like any, I can find some more later," Cassian explained.Emeraude nodded eagerly. Her belly was already enormous, and she needed to sort everything out as quickly as possible.Once they exited the elevator, they went straight to Cassian's car. Throughout the journey, they talked about various things. Before long, they were in front of a very beautiful building."The building is beautiful," Emeraude said, smiling weakly."It really is

The interior of the car was enveloped in a tense silence as Emeraude and her mother made their way to the hospital. In Emeraude's mind, a torrent of worries haunted her. Her heart throbbed with uncertainty about what awaited them at the final destination. Her mother remained silent, refusing to share details that could alter the course of their lives.The familiar journey to the hospital became agonizing, with Emeraude's anxiety increasing every second. The scenery outside went unnoticed, eclipsed by the worry that had settled in her mind. The final destination revealed itself as the hospital, and the parking lot became the starting point for a journey of bewildering emotions.As they exited the car, Emeraude felt a sense of dread. Her mother's words were scarce, and the plea for calm sounded empty in the face of the looming turmoil. Recognizing the path to the hospital entrance, Emeraude, with trembling hands, entered the building that would become the stage for a devastating turn of

Emeraude was already settled in her hospital room, the anxiety of being with her daughters growing with each passing moment. Cassian, her partner, was by her side, awaiting the moment of introductions. They hadn't received visitors yet, but the doctor assured them it would be allowed soon.Curious, Cassian asked gently as he approached the bed, "What are you thinking about?"Emeraude, with a tired smile, replied, "So many things. There was a time when I thought I was making a big mistake, but seeing our girls today, it felt like the best decision of my life."Cassian smiled back, understanding her.At that moment, the doctor entered, accompanied by a nurse carrying a mobile crib. "Here are your daughters," he said with a warm smile."Can we hold them?" Emeraude asked, barely able to contain her excitement."Of course," the doctor replied, "enjoy this moment together." He left the room after these words, leaving them alone with the newcomers.The nurse handed one of the babies to Emera

FOUR YEARS LATEREmeraude gently woke up Amora, while Aurora was already standing beside the bed. When asked if her sister had 'died,' Emeraude laughed and suggested a 'tickle attack' to wake Amora, who quickly sat up, proclaiming to be awake."Let's have breakfast then," said Emeraude, and the two followed her to the kitchen. Emeraude sat Amora and Aurora at the counter and began preparing their breakfast, reflecting on the numerous changes that had occurred in her life.Over these four years, many changes had taken place. Emeraude carried on with her life, while Cassian pursued his own path. The success of the store allowed the opening of two more branches, and despite the increased workload, the venture was worth it. Unfortunately, her father passed away when the daughters were 1 year and 6 months old. Emeraude, though deeply saddened, made the most of the time she spent with him.Cassian, now engaged, strengthened his bond with Emeraude even more after the month she spent at his h

Emeraude observed the arrival of Cassian's guests with anticipation for the long-awaited dinner. She found a table and sat next to the girls, who were in a peculiar robotic state."Can we eat real food when we get home, Mom?" Amora asked, eliciting a slight smile from Emeraude."You don't even know what dishes will be served, and you're already complaining about hunger?" she retorted, containing her laughter."I don't want to stay here," Aurora said, expressing sadness. Emeraude disliked seeing them like this."It's important for your dad, girls," explained Emeraude, feeling her heart tighten. "He cares. He loves you a lot; he's just a bit busy."However, the girls didn't seem convinced. Cassian approached the table, wearing an elegant gray suit, a white shirt, and a dark blue tie, his long hair slicked back. He remained attractive."Amora and Aurora, I want you to come with me now," Cassian announced, and the girls promptly headed toward him."Yes, sir," they responded in unison, fol
