Chapter 5

Emma's POV

Momma'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 my phone buzzed in my hand. Does he ever take a break ? How I wish one day he'll lemme have a day off, one day is all I ask for ? Is that too much to ask ?

"Hello sir ,"

"Why did you take too long to answer the call? Aah forget it ! I need you right now at the lobby make sure you bring the Yakama files with you ASP ,"he said.

" Yes ..." Wait he hung up ? What a darling. Scratch that , killjoy!!

I needed shoes and heels wouldn't do, so I went for flat shoes instead. Taking my bag and ensuring that I had the Yakama files with me , I rushed out slightly limping that grouch had kicked me hard in the morning.

The elevator was almost closing when someone shoved a hand in between and managed to get in.

"Hi , Emma Millers right?" She reached for my hand and I gladly shook it.

"Yeah , nice to meet you Mrs Velazquez ," I said saying in the kindest way possible.

It felt a bit weird, I mean I was standing next to a famous model, a classy model infact!! Even the way she dressed , her bronzed face her full lips wouldn't compare to mine.

"Just call me, Kendalla. And I gotta ask, have you seen Cain by any chance ,I've been looking for him everywhere," she asked like a hare bearing an urgent message.

"Um..Mrs..I mean Kendalla I don't think I can tell you..." Because if I tell you where he is there might be trouble and I might get fired.

"Come on ,Emma. We are friends right ? Just tell me where he is ,we have issues to resolve. Help me just this once ," she said putting up puppy dog eyes.

Whatever it's not as if he won't be happy to see her or anything, what's the harm? Perhaps maybe she'll be able to tame that attitude and ego of his.

"Okay just follow me," the elevator doors opened and I rushed to the lobby bumping into Marlon.

"Where is he?" I asked Marlon.

"He's there at the lobby with some old dude and he does not seem happy at all ," he blurted out.

" Wish me luck then ,see you later."I said moving towards the lobby with Kendalla following behind.

My boss stood next to someone, wearing a pair of jeans and a blue denim shirt on as for the latter he'd worn some beach shorts, a white tank top and a wide brimmed hat with shades of grey hair coming out from it.

"Cainy, I missed you ," Kendalla passed by me reaching for my boss with her outstretched arms. Both men looked our way utterly surprised by Kendalla who clearly intruded on their conversation.

Holy shit! Is that Mr Yakama?

"Emma, nice to see you again. You're also here ? What a surprise!" He said wrapping me in a firm hug.

" Yes , Mr Yakama. Nice to see you too,"

I asked noticing my boss's face seething with anger.

"We were talking with Cain here but I can see he's busy with....Anyway I better leave them to be, wanna join me for lunch," he asked walking away from us he's eyes still waiting for a reply.

"Later , Mr Yakama ,later." I said as he walked away from us.

"Millers ,let's talk now! Kendalla stay!!" He thundered angrily pulling me by the arm.

Once we were away from people ,he moved back and forth pacing angrily.

Then back to me , holding both my upper arms tightly.

"What is wrong with you? Do you know what you've done? Why the heck did you bring Kendalla along with you ? Mr Yakama won't sign the papers after this ,were you even thinking? It's pointless talking to you , you don't think damnit ! You very well know Mr Yakama is a family man ,then you bring Kendalla along ,for what ? To make him doubt his decision on selling the ranch to me? Foolish woman.' he said still pushing his fingers on my skin.

Then it hit me? He's hurting me !!Memories rushed in , tears welling my eyes and I blinked repeatedly to hold them back . My heart concorting into painful lumps ,Cole standing in front of me shouting at me scaring me half to death.

"Cole please stop this...please " I said ,my voice cracking, tears choking me.

" Who the fuck is Cole ,woman?" he asked his fingers still hurting my arms.

"Cole pleaseee..you are hurting me." And he let go, finally when he did I stormed out tears blinding me.
