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
Nicole's POVThey applauded. The spotlight was on me and I curtsied. The show was a success and Maria Nicole Powers always delivers as promised.The after party was a little too much for my taste. Though I tried so hard not to think about him,my mind slowly drifted to that scumbag. My blood boiled but my heart fluttered. It didn't get any better when he appeared arm in arm with his girlfriend, Cassie Norman."Nicky, I love the gowns. I promise I'll buy all of them," Mrs Batolomè squealed."Thanks. Don't forget to check out our winter collection too," I said. My gaze slowly drifted from her to the man across the room. Did he have to show his face here?After Mrs Batolomè left me alone, I took a glass of champagne and gulped down the entire drink. Ace Millers wasn't supposed to win my heart. Ace Millers wasn't supposed to make me feel this
Emma's POVI cocked my head towards his direction. Well I'll be dammed! Drew wasn't kidding when he said that Cain was coming in this direction.His figure towered before us, Drew rolled his eyes and I really pretended to be engrossed in the novel in my hands."Emma?"His voice sent little sparks down my spine but I didn't want to seem like I was still affected by him."Cain, what what are you doing here?""I came to get you. Em, are you trying to run away from me again? It's surprising you didn't leave a note this time. Come on, let's go," Cain said and I furrowed my brow."Cain, can we not do this? Your fiancé...""Ex- fiance," he corrected and somehow that lightened my spirits.Ok I'm not an evil woman so ofcourse I was still concerned about Leila and 'their baby'."
Emma's POV"Cain! I swear if you are not there in five minutes. I'll kill you!"I shouted as my mother-in-law Victoria Powers fanned my face with a magazine. Today was supposed to be mother-daughter bonding at Zhang's spa but my water broke and I think I was going to labor."Breath just breath. We are almost at the hospital," she rubbed circles in my palm and I stiffled a cry.Cain and I got married three years ago in Paris. It was the most wonderful moment in my life in that I never thought that I would get to spend the rest of my life with the man I love. Sure we've been through a lot, a bucket load of drama, a whole lot of lies but still together we were team Emmain. The mother and father of a beautiful daughter named Brooke and soon our son who we'd name Jaxon.My family on the other hand also got their happily ever after. My brother Ace got married to Nicole and they have tw
Lydia's POVHatred. A word that never existed in my vocabulary until I met Cornelius Powers.You probably must be wondering how a woman such as myself, a classy and successful reporter would loathe a billionaire such as him. I've always gone to church, gave tithes and helped the needy but what did I get in return? A knuckle sandwich aimed right in my face. Now imagine this cause it's real! It's a beautiful Monday morning, your boss who has seen you work your ass for years gives you a promotion and a brand-new car. What could go wrong right?Getting home, you call your boyfriend but all you get to hear is funny noises coming from the bedroom. Your stupid head tells you that it is your boyfriend jerking off but when you check it out, what you see makes your jaw drop and I mean it quite literally. On your bed is your boyfriend sucking another man's cock and behind him is a whore pulling a dildo in and out his ass. Now this
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
You must do the things you think you can't do" Emma's POV " Sir,do I have to go?"I asked, my heart palpitating as I awaited his answer anxiously. Turns out,this time he'd drag me across the world to get Mr Yakama's signature on the damn papers.Not even once did he go with me to any of his business ventures out of town,so why now? Mr Yakama had put up a fight on not selling his ranch in Austin to us.So the, eligible most feared bachelor and businessman,my boss,Cain Powers, thought it wise to stalk him inorder to get his hands on that ranch. Sneering insolently he asked,"I'm the one who calls the shots, right?So when I say you're going, you're going,no questions asked!" He said, walking his way in the boardroom,his face shining brilliantly. I understood everything crystal clear,I was only a mere employee.
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 POVMomma's got brains! I watched him as he tried on the shirt , his bulging muscles threatening to tear it up.Serves him right! How dare he ? After all the hustle I went through yesterday to get him up to my bed? So when he asked for a shirt ,I remembered a shirt that Ace had given me to make men notice me. Yeah that's right!Finally he was out of my room , phew! This was so weird , he really thought I'd take advantage of him... Eew no way as I said he's the last person I'd do it with , the man probably has STDs or something.After taking a long relaxing shower and putting on something comfortable, I went to the balcony admiring the view. A beautiful sunrise of yet another morning that was dominated by flights of birds that flashed between the trees outside, seemed to bring back sanity and serenity to me."Speaking of sanity ,look who's calling ,dang it!" I exclaimed as
