Emma: The Forgotten Luna

The blaring of my alarm broke my peaceful slumber. Punching it off, I stretched my limbs before standing groggily on my legs.“Good morning, Jasper,” I said with a soft smile and kissed my locket. It’s the only memory I have of my true love. Wearing my slippers, I headed straight to the restroom to perform my daily routine.So, let’s start with the introduction. I am Emmaline Richard Dawson aka Emma. I am seventeen years old, an average teen blessed with a golden mind. Though I hail from a small town in Texas, I relocated to New York to pursue my career as a software engineer.Being a prodigy, I cleared the entrance exam of Wellington Institute of Technology which is the top university in New York in one attempt. As I am on my own so I didn’t have a problem with shifting. I grabbed all my belongings which were just a few pairs of clothes, my laptop, and a bunch of books, and shifted to New York without any hassle. I live in a small apartment which constituted of a single bedroom with

A black Mercedes Benz that was followed by a fleet of Range Rovers was pulled in front of the Knight Corporation. A group of men dressed in black suits and wearing Bluetooth earpieces and black shades immediately stepped out of their cars and covered the Mercedes Benz. One of the men opened the door and a shining black shoe came into view. The clicking of cameras and flashes increased rapidly as a man of 6’3” donning a dapper Armani Suit climbed out of the car in all his glory.The people gasped in shock as they were awestruck by the Greek God. His jet-black hair was coiffed perfectly. Their hearts twitched as they couldn’t see his beautiful eyes that were hidden behind the ray-ban but the billionaire was successful in stealing hearts with his mesmerizing features. His straight nose, perfect jawline, knife-shaped pink lips, high cheekbones, and his five o’clock shadow had all the girls drooling. Buttoning up his suit, the handsome hunk acknowledged the paparazzi with a stiff nod that

EmmaI was in a quandary from the moment I returned home. Claire canceled my night shifts for today as the employees had thrown a small welcome party for the CEO. I couldn’t be more grateful to her as I was in desperate need to sort out my mind. My remedy was my books so I engrossed myself in them and started working on my assignments but my mind kept shifting back to Him.‘The girl who always avoided men couldn't help but think about her CEO again and again.’ Such an irony. "How can he read my mind?"I was still trying to figure it out ‘cause that was something shocking yet terrifying. No one knows my secret and I had no intention of revealing it shortly. For the first time in my life, I was intimidated that too by a human. Resting my back on the chair, I leaned my head back and stared at the ceiling, still drowned in thoughts."To think of it, maybe he was just flirting with me. It’s a natural thing among rich buffoons," I tried to convince myself but then again, how come he was

"Yeah sure. I would do that."Ending the call, Claire put the receiver back when suddenly the door burst open revealing a raging Emma. Claire was startled as Emma had always been respectful and courteous but today, she just barged into her office without knocking. What shocked her more was the unadulterated rage shining in her blue hues which looked like an ominous innuendo. She was giving her dangerous vibes.But somehow, Claire maintained her composure and shot Emma a stern look."What's this Emmaline?"She opened her mouth to berate her for her misbehavior but Emma beat her to it. She slammed the door shut and approached her with predatory steps.“I should be the one asking this, Ms. Williams", she retorted making Claire gulp.“Secretary for the CEO? Are you kidding me? I signed the contract to work as a tech expert not as someone’s assistant. You know I am a college student and I can’t work in the morning. On top of that, I know nothing about business. I never disrespected you and

Thirty minutes passed in a blur. Emma was slowly losing her patience as Damien was purposely exceeding the time limit decided for her interview. He was asking her unnecessary and repetitive questions. And Emma had no choice but to answer him.Like right now, he asked her to give a brief introduction about her current work, again.Emma inhaled sharply before speaking, "As I told you, Sir, I analyze the details of the company’s projects and am also in charge of cyber security which includes securing the company's site to protect it from any malware." She kept explaining to him but Damien was least interested in that information. His sole focus was on her plush lips that were moving nonstop tempting him to suck them. Damien took a deep breath and skimmed his eyes all over her face. Her coruscating blue hues and the pink glint on her cheeks had him enchanted. Her balmy scent flowing in the room delighted him as well as Scar who was jumping in his head making him grin."Sir?"Her voice bro
