His secretary

She was silently seated at her favorite coffee shop across the street, sipping in the last drop of her expresso.This was the only time she could really get away from everything including her grouchy boss, Cain Powers.For two years, she'd worked for him in Power corp as his personal secretary, managing every call, any document that needed signing, his coffee, his flower orders to every woman he'd date, heck she even handled all the birthday cards that needed to be sent.She sat there as she remembered the good old days when Cain's old man was still around. He always motivated her and saw the potential in her, he had been like the father she wished to have.A week earlier before his demise, Emma had visited him in the Powers' mansion and it was the

Emma's POV "Sir? Sir? Is something wrong?" I asked looking at him , his V-shaped lines clearly showing beneath those fine abs. I was scared , he stood there not even uttering a word. But something was off with him,his black hair was messy and had covered his eyes. He looked like the Grim Reaper, only thing missing was his lethal weapon. "Sir, are you okay.. you starting to freak me out here, "I said nervously but he stood there, mute! Was he dead? Don't be stupid, of course not! If he's dead he would not have walked all the way here, he wouldn't be standing , unless he's a ghost! So I decided to do what horrified people do on horror movies, check his eyes. If he's possessed by demons or anything, his eyes maybe black or white, or anything beyond normal for that matter. It was worth a try , so I reached for part of his hair that covered his eyes. "Please don't

Emma's POV I ran frantically out of the hotel , as the same memory kept coming back . Cole's face grinning wickedly, a machete in hand , nearer and nearer cussing at me. His insults a constant reminder of the wrong decisions I made in my life. His painful insults like a dagger constantly stabbing my frail heart. That's why I ran, because I saw another Cole inform of Cain Powers infront of me. One that would beat me up every night he came home. Lock me up in chains , burn my skin with a curling iron, I was scared to death. My heart nudging me to run further and further even though I knew nothing of my surroundings. People constantly watching me, made me scared, scared that at any time Cole would jump out and hurt me. My heart which thumped so loud wouldn't lemme think for a minute and that's when I looked up only to see a black SUV coming my way at an excruciating speed and I knew I was a goner!

Emma's POV The nurse drew the curtains allowing beams of light to strike my sleepy face. I turned slightly to the side table near the beeping machines coming face to face with a huge pink teddy bear, a satin bow onto it. Next to it were some bouquet of yellow roses the same ones from yesterday but these ones smelled fresh adding fragrance to the dull room I was admitted in. Ooh Marlon,he's such a sweetheart! I said deep within my thoughts, I am sure they cost him a lot. The nurse dressed all in white, examined my vitals before leaving, probably to get me breakfast because I was seriously starving. As soon as she left, a man walked in clad in a slate-grey suit, pulling a silver tray in front of him. I could have swore that dark brown hair was familiar. After carefully placing the silver tray beside my bed he then faced me. Oh no, what's he doing here?&

Cain's POV "How incompetent are you really? It was one simple thing, I mean even a ten year old could do this right!" I said looking at the nerdy woman standing in front of me. Her dress so odd, her hair black but messy,her hands constantly fidgeting at my remarks, her thin lips shuddering out of fear and her glasses were almost ready to break. What she did next totally caught me off guard.. "No...no...no. Don't cry!!" I said grabbing the telephone and calling David.. Within minutes, David was in my office escorting the woman out. "I want her gone, David! Find me another." I lashed out on him. "Sir, she's the fifth one this week. I'm afraid I can't find anyone else. You know better than I, that only Emma Millers is capable of this job," he said his eyebrows raised waiting for me to say something. One month! One month till I fired Millers
