Emma's POV
"I thought he was coming over" John whined.
"Yeah, honey. I thought you invited him" And again mom added.
"Well he had better things to do"
Yeah better things to do like kissing that blonde in front of the damn paparazzi.
"Ooooh that's too bad. I wanted a ride in his awesome car" John said disappointedly looking at his peas.
"Why is everybody sulking? More food for us!"
Ace being the usual jester he is, kept more tatter tots on his plate. We were currently seated in the dining room of our new home. I still can't believe that the house mom won was newly refurbished. That was some great luck!
Even as dinner continued, my phone buzzed but I dared not look at the messages. I knew it was him, and if I read those messages god knows I would fall for his antics. After clearing the dishes, tucking John to bed, takin
Cain's POV"I'm certain she's the one" I told Uncle Ben as I glanced over to Emma who casually laughed with mom and Nicky at the end of the pool."You know that this a big step you are taking. Son, marriage is not just a walk in the park it goes through ups and downs and only the toughest survive. Get to know each other first, understand your feelings for her better"Uncle Ben always sounded like Yoda, but right now I couldn't wait to have Em a part of my world. Sure we had not established what we had going on, not after her smaller brother found us kissing passionately on the couch. I loved her and I know she did too.Following Uncle Ben's words would be the best idea at the time, I needed to have time to spend with Em. Already I had to fire her as my secretary as professional codes dictate that romantic relationships between employees and employers were unexpected. Uncle Ben on the other hand being
Emma's POV"Em. Who's Cole?"I was surprised."He is my ex husband"I spat out abit scared of bringing up all those memories of my marriage to Cole."If this is about yesterday, Cain...""You think this is about yesterday?" He lashed out on me punching the punching bag so hard that I'm sure his knuckles would split any minute."What is it then, Cain? Tell me. I very well want to know what this is about. I know you don't take rejection well and I'm sorry for not being the best woman for you"This made him catch his breath wiping away the beads of sweat on his forehead. I for once tried so hard not to let the tears that stung my eyes fall."So you think I'm with you because of sex, huh?"His words came as a shock to me, I could see these impenetrable walls trying to come between
Ace's POVThe soothing breeze that slapped my face brought a smile on my face. Even as I sped down the road with my bike, today had totally gone fine. The job at Diego's mechanics earned me a whole fifty bucks and car washing for Mr Juan actually wasn't that bad but the geezer was stingy I give you that.Three more years and i would totally finish college upon my sister's persuasion. I would do anything for her I've seen her sacrifice alot for our sake. The minor setback of her being fired by her boss upon her return from Australia meant nothing. She would easily get back up and find another job. That's why she was such an inspiration.I knew John must be already pissed for not picking him up at school early. This was the little kid that wouldn't lemme sleep at night thinking that monsters were underneath his bed. How he has grown, just a few years and he would leave middle school and join highschool.
Emma's POV"Mmmh... Not here, Cain" I moaned.He parted from me then asked the hardest question I could answer at the moment."Are you sure?"If I said yes then my whole body would be lying and if I said no then well we would end up making love in some washroom in a fancy restaurant.He was naughty so naughty. He hung on to my left leg that was clung to his hip, thanks God my back faced the wall otherwise I would have ended up on the floor. The slit on my dress gave him more access to my inner thigh as he seductively grazed his fingers. Every touch every kiss did wonders to my body, so many tingling sensations running through my body.When his right hand landed on my neck then later his mouth replaced it I felt like I was in another dimension where it was just me and him versus the world. He sucked the little spot behind my ear then went down to raining kisse
Emma's POV"Hey beautiful"He sounded weird."Are you alright, Cain?""You know you've got the prettiest eyes, baby. You know I love you like crazy, don't you?"Something must have happened his tone of voice sounded like he had been drinking. I was concerned this was not Cain. To think I had called to tell him how much I wanted him to be with me, how much I wanted him to leave whatever he was doing and come to me. I had fallen hard! The kind that you fall in love and every minute every second you see him, everything you do you ultimately think about him and smile.Now here was my guy, my life sounding as if the worst had happened."Cain...""Shh...Em, I love you but this...this is over. We can't happen. Baby, forgive me"And he hung up. Wait did he? No? He wouldn't! He promised, he promised he wou
Cain's POVI left her at my penthouse sleeping so soundly. Hell I could have gone on all day watching her sleep had it not been for the mysterious call that had me rush all the way to Power Corp.I know your secret and in no time Emma will find about it too.It was a man's voice, no doubt someone out to milk money from me. I was drunk yesterday but I still remember what happened last night. I was determined to hide everything from Emma despite how much she trusted me. If I told her the truth I would lose her forever so right now no matter how selfish I was, I didn't want her to find out."Sir there's a man claiming he has an appointment with you" David interrupted."Send him in" I said as I tried to be more comfortable on my seat.Minutes later, the man entered my office. He didn't look familiar. I assessed him right from his worn out sneakers to the faded je
Emma's POV"I don't get it""Em, look it's all in here. Your dad refused to sell Power Corp his designs, weeks later he dies of cardiac arrest, it's no coincidence""What are you trying to say?" The words struggled to come out of my mouth."Em, Xavier Powers orchestrated your dad's death. His whole family knows your true identify and that's why they pretend to love you. It's all because of guilt""No it can't be. Mr Benson...Nicole...her mother and and...Cain, he...he loves me" A single drop of tear fell on the damn documents."Does he, Em? I'm only looking out for you like I always do. He's just as bad as his family, maybe worse" Preston said putting emphasis on the last words.I was in shock. I vividly remember how mom was after hearing news of dad's death she couldn't eat for weeks and Ace he was the most affected by all this so to spe
Emma's POVDarkness. Muffles. What happened?Suddenly the light hit my eyes and I blinked repeatedly trying to figure out where I was and how I got here. Images of two men rushing towards me came to mind.I tried moving but my wrists and limbs were cuffed to the rusty wooden chair. I looked around the dilapidated warehouse that seemed to be abandoned for eons."The bitch is awake!" A woman with long black hair wearing leather pants and a black jacket paired with black killer heels creeped up from the darkness. She was beautiful but at the same time badass. Something about her icy cold eyes made me tremble, I was scared to death."You ruined everything!" she shouted pointing her gun on my forehead."Miss I don't even know who you are" I mumbled frightfully.She eyed me unbelievably then realising that I had no clue of who she was, she back
