[ Damien ]
"Hey Dustin is asking for you and Caleb.Please come to see him if possible in the evening.The Knights won't be there."~ Emerald.
I read her text messege and threw my phone on the couch of my private room.The faint disco music coming from the club on the ground floor of increased the pain in my head.
Who parties in bright day.Of coarse this new generation and some old drunkards.
I should meet Dustin.The man helped me a lot to win her back and his lover Caleb too is dying to see him but Dustin stopped him.
"May I come in?"I heard the most annoying female voice.
"Won't you come if I say no."I threw my head to other side avoiding the dirty smirk on her face.
"Well I am standing inside."Like she said,she was standing at the front me.
"Courtney I apologized a thousands time to Emerald and no
[ Damien ]Mr. David Knight's eyes landed on me and I could feel he stiffened finding me in the most unexpected place but then his gaze fell on my hand which wrapped securely around Emerald."How it happened?"He asked her, vulnerability in his voice reflected his pain."Olivia Grayson shot him."Emerald replied,her own eyes zeroed on the ICU door."And Davian?"His voice cracked a bit."I..do..don't know."She looked away hiding her tears.I felt suffocated in the presence of the man who fathered me.It was the first time I actually let him come too close to me so I decided to leave before anything could change between us.I still hate the man who ran away from his responsibility and somewhere he is the reason my own mother loathed me."Emerald I'll see you later."I squeezed her shoulder.She raised her head a
[ Emerald ]A week passed and Davian's condition was stable then.We lost all hopes but it wasn't less than a miracle when doctor told us that they saw improvement in him though he still didn't wake up.After visiting Davian in the hospital I went to office.I couldn't miss my work.It was already very hard for me to keep both ends meet though a few days back Damien offered his financial support for my companyBut it offended my self reliance.I brought up my son without anyone's aid and I was able to provide him the best I could within my capabilities.I played with the pen in my hand processing my next decision.My mind again diverged to last evening when Damien came face to face with David.And today I made my mind to put an end to this instability in our lives.Damien needs his father and David deserves some love,which I am not sure Damien would give him and his sons are his last hope.
[ Emerald ]I laid the little fairy in her crib which was made up of fine mahogany wood with beautiful hamd carving on it."My girl..ohh God how much I love you.."I kissed her little grown black hairs while she was staring me with her black doe blue eyes that filled my heart with warmth of having her so close to me.I slide my hand into my jeans' pocket and took out the same rectangular box which was keeping with me since my childhood.I opened the lid of the box and took out a thin gold chain with a heart shaped locket .It was a token of love and blessings from my father which I have been saving as the reminder of his immense love for me."Baby this is from your Grandpa."I said sliding it in her neck which she grabbed in her tiny hand.Suddenly the door crwaked open and Damien stepped inside with his ver charming smile which had been stuck on his lips sin
[ Emerald ]It was a bright Sunday morning in the Mansion.The sun was glistening. Finally,I was with my grandparents after two weeks yeah hell two weeks I finally able to crack the deal with the Collins,THE COLLINS I mean,who rules the business world in Mennasotta.I landed in the city of New York in the dawn after three weeks.It was quite early in the morning ,they were fast asleep so I went out for jogging as I wasn't feeling like to sleep.After forty five minutes sweating and panting hard I entered inside the house with Crazy,my golden retriever buddy.He was swaying his tail not effected after running along with me he is more energetic."Good morning Em."Martha,our housekeeper hugged me as soon as she found me in the kitchen when I was drinking water."Hey Martha how were you?"I asked her putting the empty glass on
[ Emerald ]"Perfect I can bet Em,The bachelor billionaire is going to take you to his bed directly."Zade ,my designer friend shrieked scanning my body like x-rays.I again saw myself in the giant mirror.She wasn't wrong at all.The rusty red dress stuck to my curves revealing my worked out body."Zade your imaginations are too good to be decent."I rolled my eyes but her bold statement ignited heat on my cheeks."How I am gonna pull it off from my body."I said unsurely because the dress was like a fit rubber glove ."All you have to do is just pull down the zipper and these straps unless the hotpant billionaire rip it off himself."Zade pointed at the dress,"Oh my Jesus! Look at yourself."She exclaimed clapping her hands.I rolled my eyes on her comment.As if she knew in which circumstances this marriage was happening.I examined myself in t
[ Emerald ] I reached at the restaurant quite earlier.For my luck the arrogant jerk wasn't around so I decided to scroll through my business calls as there was not even a single fly to entertain my company. It didn't took me when someone coughed.The husky merely audible voice erupted a current in my spine.I turned my head only to find a tall intimidating manly figure standing a few strands away from me. Ohh freak he is dead handsome! It wasn't lie,honestly he had a supermodel like body not less than Adonis himself.His perfectly sculptured face with a pair of thunderstorm like eyes.The way his thin lips were pressed together. Despite not wanting to,I couldn't help myself ogling him.His feasty body was visible through his tightly fitted business suit.Now I realized why women were ready to throw themselves on him.His presence was electrifying.
[ Emerald ]As rays of morning sunlight rested on my face,I slowly opened my eyes feeling a sharp headache.I blinked few times to adjust my vision and realized I dozed off in my home office after a dramatic last night incident.I could hear chirping of birds from a close distance.The cold evening breeze soothed my pain but the ache in my heart could not be healed.I kept thinking about Papa's decision.Its true,we were going through a financial crisis as few of our investors pulled their shares but I was trying my best to persue more investors in our company.Whatever decision had been taken last day,would effect my life greatly.Better or worse.Well I expect the latter option.Living with Davian Knight will be the greatest challenge.My phone went off grabbing my attention.I looked for my phone and found it on the edge of my study table.It was already 10:00 AM,I won
Emerald"Tell me what is bugging you Marshmallow?"Ethan gave me a curt look sipping his shot of vodka.My heart churned listening to the endearment he gave me once he discovered my obsession for marshmallows.I averted my gaze on the dancing bodies unable to form a proper excuse.How do I gather the courage to break his heart.He has been there for me in my toughest phase,he was there when I had gone through depression,he helped me to overcome my fears and nightmares I used to have since my parents died.He gave me a new life.And what am I repaying to his sacrifices?A betrayal to save my coward ass."Em now you're scaring me."He stroked my cheeks.I melted into his warm touch and prevent the lone tear falling from my eyes."I am fine-it just work load and my Papa's sickness taking a toll over me."I pressed
