She rushed back home and met Gracie standing outside of her building.
"We found him, it happens that he lives at the hotel where you guys met. he's also looking for a job, everything you should know about him are in these papers. He's an ordinary guy, it would be so easy to shut him up" Gracie said smiling as she pace around the sitting room.Emily couldn't contain her Joy, she hugged Gracie tightly and pecked her on her cheek "I don't know what I could have done without you" She said to her.She arrived at the hotel the next day hoping to see him around because she couldn't remember his room number as she was in a hurry to leave that day. She was looking around the hotel and also looking at the people entering and leaving trying to spot him, it was a miracle that she could still remember what he looks like.She was so busy straining and stretching her neck that she slipped and was about falling down when someone caught her and she fell into his muscular arms, His hands were on her waist and her hands were on his chest, his face was so close to hers and she found herself staring into his blue dreamy eyes."Were you looking for me?" He asked smiling and she immediately freed herself from his arms."We need to talk" She said avoiding his gaze."Okay, I hope I'm safe?" He asked smiling revealing his perfect white teeth."We need to go to a place more private, I can't risk being seen with you" Emily uttered, she was tensed but she tried her best not to show it, she's so good at controlling how she feels."Okay, let's go to my room" He said holding her hand and she was shocked. "Why is he acting like we have known each other for a long time?, He's so free with me" she thought in her head."I don't think that's a good idea, a cafe will be nice"."Okay, if you say so" Tyler said and they both headed to the cafe nearby.Ahem... Emily cleared her throat before she began. "What transpired between us was not meant to happen, I'm someone who has an image to protect so how about I offer you something so that you can keep this between us"."Do you think that I will go about spreading rumors about you?" He queried, he stares were enough to rip into her soul."I'm launching my new clothing line next week and it's gonna be a lot, I need a personal bodyguard" Her gazed shifted from his face to his body as she tries so hard to ignore the voice in her head screaming and telling her how handsome and tempting he is.Tyler finds Her so interesting, he was so excited that she came back for him, he made sure he maintained an eye contact with her, he has fallen so hard for her after setting his eyes on her at the hotel. Her Beauty and demeanor were the first thing that attracted him to her. He could still remember what her lips tasted like that night they met, he loves how she carries herself and how confident she is. She offered him something he can't reject, he needs a job and working for someone he loves would be a dream come true but he decided to turn her down, he doesn't want to look so easy."I'm not interested, you can ask someone" He stood up and wanted to leave but She grabbed his hand. " I will pay you any amount you want, I just need you to be my bodyguard." She declared to him. She knows she was sounding so desperate but, she would do anything to keep him beside her, she wants to know more about him, she wants to know if he was sent by someone to ruin her.Tyler couldn't resist her, he has been job hunting for months and hasn't found one, he also wants to be beside her."Okay. I also need a place to stay, I can't stay in the hotel anymore, I can stay in your place". He smirked.Emily's face creased, she can't afford to live with someone, her house helps lives outside her house. She has no other option that to accept, she needs to keep her eyes on him before he says anything."I accept" She said and Tyler smiled, he knows what he is doing, he wants to be close to her and make her fall in love with him. It was so strange because he hasn't loved anyone the way he loves Emily. You could tell how badly he wants her for himself by looking into his eyes, he looks at her with so much affection.He carried his bag from the hotel room and both of them headed to her car. They arrived at Emily's mansion and he was flabbergasted by what was in front of him, he has always heard people talking about heaven on earth and he has just seen one. They got inside and Emily removed her jacket and dropped it on the sofa before facing him."I will show you your room but I want to make some rules which you must abide to", she paused and looked at him before she continues...."Firstly, You must take your job so serious. Secondly, Don't try to act friendly with me and thirdly, Don't ask me questions about my personal life" She said staring at him, she noticed that the way he stares at her was different, it was as if he was staring into her soul.She was giving an Alpha female vibes and Tyler loves it so much, he's used to ladies drooling over him and forcing their selves on him. He is so excited to find a lady who is different, he finds her domineering attitude so attractive. He knows that making her open her heart to him won't be easy and he isn't backing down.The night after the wedding was quiet and still, as if the world was holding its breath, watching the newlyweds as they began their journey together. Emily and Tyler returned to their private suite, hand in hand, wrapped in the soft afterglow of their wedding celebration. The air between them was filled with an intimate anticipation, their love radiating in every glance and touch.The room had been decorated with rose petals scattered across the bed and the scent of lavender drifting through the air, calming and inviting. A gentle light filled the room, illuminating the space just enough to cast a warm glow around them.As they entered, Tyler let out a soft laugh, turning to look at Emily. "I still can’t believe you’re mine," he murmured, reaching up to tuck a stray hair behind her ear.Emily smiled, her eyes shining as she looked at him. "And I can’t believe I get to love you every day."Tyler reached for her hand, drawing her close until there was no space between them. His gaze was
The sun shone brightly on the day of Emily and Tyler’s wedding, casting a warm glow over the carefully decorated garden. Flowers bloomed in vibrant colors, and the sweet scent of jasmine filled the air. Guests began to gather, a mix of family and friends, each one eager to witness the union of two people who had overcome so much to be together.Emily stood in her bridal suite, surrounded by her closest friends. The dress clung to her in all the right places, and the delicate lace veil framed her face perfectly. She could feel the excitement bubbling within her, a blend of nerves and sheer joy. Glancing in the mirror, she took a deep breath, allowing herself to soak in the moment.“Are you ready to become Mrs. Tyler Hudson?” Gracie, her maid of honor, asked with a grin.Emily nodded, her heart racing. “More than ready.”After the final touches were made, Emily made her way to the entrance of the garden, her heart pounding with anticipation. She could hear the gentle murmur of guests an
Emily sat on the edge of her bed, the weight of the past few weeks pressing down on her shoulders. After Celine's death, the dynamics within her family had shifted. She had always been distant from her mother, Mrs. Hudson, whose harsh words and criticism had left deep scars. But now, Emily found herself longing for connection, for the chance to mend the rift that had widened between them.Taking a deep breath, she reached for her phone and dialed her mother’s number. The phone rang twice before her mother picked up.“Emily,” Mrs. Hudson answered, her tone guarded yet curious.“Mom, can we talk? I really want to see you,” Emily said, her voice steady but filled with a hint of vulnerability.“I suppose so,” her mother replied reluctantly. “Where do you want to meet?”“Let’s just have dinner at home. I’ll cook,” Emily suggested, a nervous flutter in her stomach.There was a brief pause, then Mrs. Hudson replied, “Alright, I’ll be there.”Emily hung up, feeling a mix of anxiety and hope.
As days turned into weeks after Celine’s funeral, Emily found herself struggling to navigate her grief while trying to reconnect with Tyler. Their relationship, once vibrant and full of promise, now felt strained and distant, like a threadbare tapestry fraying at the edges. Emily knew that Tyler was hurting, and she wanted to be there for him, but every time she tried to bridge the gap, she was met with an unyielding wall of silence.One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in shades of pink and gold, Emily decided to reach out. She texted Tyler, her fingers hovering over the keyboard for a moment before she hit send: "Can we talk? I miss you."Moments later, her phone buzzed. "Meet me at our spot?"Her heart lifted at the invitation. Their spot—an intimate little café tucked away on a quiet street—had been their go-to place for late-night conversations, laughter, and stolen kisses. She quickly got ready, feeling a flutter of anticipation and anxiety in her s
The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm golden hue over the cemetery as mourners gathered around Celine’s grave. The atmosphere was heavy with sorrow, a palpable grief that wrapped around each person like a shroud. Emily stood near the front, her heart aching as she watched the small casket being lowered into the earth, a bittersweet finality settling over her.She remembered Celine’s laughter, the way her eyes sparkled with mischief, and the countless moments they had shared together. Now, it felt like a piece of her own heart had been buried along with Celine. Tears streamed down Emily’s cheeks, the loss cutting deeper than she could have ever anticipated. She clenched her fists at her sides, fighting the urge to scream at the unfairness of it all.“Why did it have to be you?” she whispered to herself, the question echoing in her mind like a haunting refrain.As the ceremony progressed, Emily felt a soft touch on her shoulder. Turning, she saw Tyler standing beside her, his eyes
Celine stared at herself in the mirror, the reflection staring back at her revealing a ghost of the woman she once was. The dark circles under her eyes were deep, and her complexion was pallid, a stark reminder of her declining health. But today, she wanted to feel alive, to cherish one last evening with the people she loved most. She wanted to create memories that would linger, bittersweet yet precious, in the hearts of her family.As she moved about her bedroom, she carefully chose an outfit: a flowing emerald dress that accentuated her figure and a delicate necklace that sparkled under the light. It was her mother’s, a piece she’d treasured for years, and wearing it made her feel connected to the woman who had once been a formidable force in her life. Celine hoped that tonight would not only be a farewell but a reconciliation, a moment to mend the rifts that had formed over the years.Once dressed, she walked downstairs, the familiar scent of her mother’s cooking wafting through th
