This is the reaction I wanted from her. “Max is his name, right?” I grinned, giving her the confirmation she wanted. I walked closely to her face , “right?” At this point, she was already shivering in shock. She least expected this from me, and I think I hit her pinpoint. “H…how did you find out?” Her lips quivered, her muscles tensed up. I can’t possibly tell her how I overheard her conversation with Max. “I know more than you think,” I poked her chest, my mind reeling with satisfaction. Her face turned red and swollen. “How dare you threaten me?” She suddenly raised her voice. I only did what she was best at doing to people…especially Lucas. “I’m stating facts…not threatening you,” I muttered, trying to calm her down. “You think you’ve won, Emery?” her jaw clenched as she gritted her teeth. “You
Emery’s pov. I ran into my room, about to shut the door , but my mum came in. She asked the nurse to leave us. As the nurse left, and I closed the door. I immediately embraced my mum tightly, sobbing, “Mum, I don’t understand myself anymore or my feelings.” She rubbed soothing circles on my back, shushing me, “I understand the way you feel.” Even though I don’t tell my mum some things, she still understands. And right now, there’s no better person than her to pour out my feelings to. “Mum, I don’t know why my heart still longs for Lucas when I’m married to Austin,” I break from the hug, tears streaming down from my eyes. I hold my mum’s hands, “mum. This…this child I’m carrying, Austin isn’t even the father. I’m scared.” “What do you mean by that?” She scrunched up her face. “Lucas is the father, mum. Lucas is…,” I bent and planted my face on her laps. “Mum I wish I could turn the hands of the clock and make things right. I’m overwhelmed,” she patted my head in a stroking man
Chapter fifty one. Emery’s POV. Oh! I forget to mention that the clothes Austin got for me to change into was specifically a white dress. It’s a short elegant white dress with a deep V-neckline, and straps that appear to tie at the shoulders with tiny bows. The skirt side is short and flared with the hem having ruffled layers. The fabric which looks smooth and slightly thick gave my body the fitting it needed. I would give him an applause for the taste in dress. He wore a black suit, with a Rolex watch to go with his outfit.We got to the marriage bureau in Manhattan, Austin opened the door gracefully for me to come down, offered his hands which I accepted, and we entwined, walking together like the perfect couples. We walked into the building which had a large open waiting hall with rows of seating. There were several other couples who wanted to get married so we went to the service counter to submit a few documents, and waited for our turn. “We should take some pictures. Shal
Emery’s pov. I know this is what I’ve always wanted from the start…a complete family where my child will have to grow up with love from both his mom and Dad, and not to end up the way my mum did, the heartbreak she went through and how she had to undergo parenthood by herself. But now, why do I feel like this isn’t right? Maybe, because it’s not with the man of my dreams or maybe, because my child will have to grow up calling another man his father, and I’ll have to accept that fate forever. My gaze was fixed to his face, which had an optimistic expression and clearly indicated that he wasn’t ready to give up. His lips quivered as he waited for me to accept. However, accepting this proposal seems like the best option for me at the moment. “Okay,” I nodded, my lips shaped slightly into a grin. “Okay?” He asked, holding my meek hands. “Yes,” I answered. “Thank you,” he embraced in the most emotional way possible. I felt his breath at my back as he heaved out a sigh. I was alrea
Emery’s pov. We lay side by side, staring up at the ceiling, silence humming between us. Our hands intertwined together as a connection between us. I wonder if somehow things have changed for him like they have for me. My mind ran with imagination of how things could have been if we were to turn
Lucas’s pov. “Oh! Fuck!” I exclaimed as I felt her warm hands around my hard dick. She didn’t break free from the kiss as her hands wrapped around my still hard dick. Thrusting gently, she rubbed me up and down. My head falls backwards in pleasure. I moan. She gives me a fascinating look as she
Emery’s pov. How could he be so reckless ? What if Austin finds out or Mr Enzo discovers that he was being lied to? “What the fuck was that?” My eyes widened at him. “How could you tell him that we’re engaged?” “There was nothing I could do,” he stated blatantly at me. “There was nothing you co
Lucas’s pov. Our bodies nearly touching each other with the tiniest gap between us, yet I swear I felt the heat of her skin and how tensed she was when I asked her for the truth.
