Chapter 27
Cain's POV
Julia? That was her! The same voice that drove me nuts a few years ago.
When she mentioned that she had Emma in her custody and that she wouldn't hesitate to kill her, I freaked out.
Now listen love if you want her, come for her yourself. I'll give you my location and please don't even think of calling the cops!
And she hung up.
"Was it them? Did they ask for anything?" Karen, Em's mom asked.
"No, it wasn't them. It was just David. If these cops are not gonna help then I'll look for assistance elsewhere" I bluffed hoping for a chance that none of them would figure it out that i knew who was behind this.
"I'll come with you" Ace said but I wouldn't want to put him in danger.
"No. Stay here. Your mother and brother need you right now" I patted his shoulder getting out of there so fast that none of them would

Emma's POV"Lord don't let him die on me" I cried as Cain lay down in front of me covered with his own blood.Julia after realising that the bullet missed me and hit Cain she dropped the weapon and the cops leaped on her like a dirty criminal as she cried."Cain! I didn't mean to. I love you" she cried as the cops carried her away.The tears that clouded my eyes didn't make me see, I felt faint seeing Cain's abdomen spew blood profusely. I was mad at him but I loved him so much that seeing him die would also make me die. His shaky hands held mine and he tried to speak."I'm sorry Em... I...love you" and he passed out as the sirens of the ambulance kindled my hope that Cain would live. He wouldn't die because I was still here. If he died so would I.Cain's POVThey say when life flashes in front of your eyes, you see Jesus but that's not w

Four years laterEmma's POVI wiped the drool off my face as I tried reaching for the phone buzzing against the counter. Stupid phone won't stop ringing this early in the morning! It was the weekend and I had no intentions of going to work or any plans for that matter.I picked it up."What took you so long?" Her pitchy voice complained from the end of the line."Crystal just say what you want to say and lemme sleep." I huffed.Crystal was my best friend since we moved here four years ago. Now that she was on her honeymoon I thought that I would take a rest from her. She was a real pain in the neck."I need a favor" Here it goes, probably wanting to set me up with another man.Last time Josh Taylor was my date and I have never been embarrassed all my life. At first he looked appealing, the suit, the smile, the lean bo

Emma's POVThis dress was killing me. I opted for something not too fancy but at the end Crystal ordered this lilac gown that almost ripped when I walked in the heels."I could take it off you, if you want" Drew whispered as he held to my arm tightly handing the man our invitation cards to the engagement party.I was impressed with him. The fact that he went out of his way to bring me here in Nebraska and today well he looked like the type of man you'd want to marry in church. The tux, his rugged brown hair and that cologne that wafted through the air and caught my attention. He was my escort at the last minute after I realized I couldn't go to Nebraska all alone without someone close to back me up from the men who would try to flirt with me and also he had a certain party to attend here as a token of appreciation to one of our investors.It was only an engagement party but it seemed more than that.

Cain's POV"You look beautiful, you know" I teased looking at her yellow gown."Baby look at me. I'm getting fat" she laughed and I held her hand tight as we entered our party.We both had chosen the theme of it. Discovery of love. I tried not thinking about what happened in the past. Leila was there, she was there especially when I thought that Uncle Ben's death was my fault. If it wasn't for Emma leaving me, I wouldn't have resorted to drinking! Uncle Ben wouldn't have gotten stabbed, if I hadn't gotten into a bar fight.I blamed myself for his death. I shut everyone out but mostly I wanted to die. Die because I was hurting and now I was doing the same to my loved ones. While I was at my worst, I thought Emma would think of me and come back to me. I loved her so much and I was willing to do everything to have her back.Two years passed still Emma never came back. That's when I

Emma's POVI needed coffee. We talked all night with Drew and had a little bit of too much wine. I got drunk yesterday, I ended up crying like never before. Drew was quick to pull me in for a hug and I teared up. I was miserable and wasted and hurt, lost so many different emotions played in my body. Cain Powers was getting married. I told him to move on and he did yet here I was, still not over him."An expresso please" I said, placing some dollars on the counter.The old woman was quick to smile back asking my for my name and writing it on the cup."Thanks"My head was still hurting a bit as I walked to the exit of the little coffee shop. I was probably too busy not to notice the crack on the floor onto which my heel got stuck and I ended up tripping."Aah!" I screamed before I felt huge hands grip my waist."Miss you need to be more car

Emma's POVWhat was happening? How could they do this? I was beyond mad! What kind of thieves were they? Of all rooms, they stole mine and Drew's stuff only. And the dang police, they were doing nothing just telling us to relax. What was there to relax about? I awaited Drew's call on whether or not he had gotten us new passports but still after hours of waiting ... nothing.I sighed, grabbing a towel and going to take a relaxing shower. After dressing up, assessing everything in my laptop and stalking some celebrities on Instagram including Leila Urquillo, I dozzed off. The beeping sound coming from the corner of the room awoke me. The room was dark which was odd since I left the lights on.Suddenly the lights flickered on and off, the window closed itself shut and I jolted my head from the laptop I was leaning on. My heart pounded, my throat became dry, my eyes widened and most of all my knees shook. I knew someone was

Wasn't he the one with Leila Urquillo?"And leaving you was the best choice. You moved on that too with a wonderful woman like Leila Urquillo" at this time getting those words to come out of my mouth almost choked me."What about you? You moved on too. What's his name? Drew Roode? What does he have that I don't?"I really wished that what he thought was true. That Drew and I were happily married and so in love."Everything. He's kind, honest, loyal and he smells nice"Drew was none of those but he smelled nice I give him that."He smells nice?" He questioned getting on the bed crawling towards me that my lungs almost collapsed. Don't be a fool, Emma. Don't you dare

Cain's POV"Em, the baby she's carrying is not mine" I repeated myself as Em jumped from bed as if I had some sort of plague.She almost fell down when the white sheet she had covered herself with, tripped her. I watched her pick my pants, shirt and the jacket that were lying in different corners of her room. Opening her door, she threw them out her eyes fiery when she looked at me."Leave!" Her finger did more of the talking pointing to the outside.She didn't even hear a thing I said?"You can't possibly be throwing me out of your room, Em? Em, I love you""Cain, I can't do this. Saying you love me is one thing but denying your fatherly obligations to an unborn child is another. For heaven's sake just leave" her voice rose and I could tell she meant every word.Slowly covering myself with the remaining sheets on the bed I left but I loo
