Chapter 10: Too Little, Too Late
“Granny, I’m home!” Emilia called out as she strolled into the house through the kitchen.
“I’m in the den!” Granny responded.
Emilia dropped her handbag on the kitchen table and went in search of her grandmother. When she entered the den and saw who was sitting with her grandma, the smile on her face melted.
“What are you doing here?”
“Hi, Emilia,” said Kane, rising to his feet.
“I’ll excuse you two,” Granny said, rising too.
“Stay right there, Granny!”
Her grandmother promptly obeyed and lowered her bum on the soft couch. She already knew that there’d be hell to pay for allowing Kane into the house.
“What the hell are you doing here, Kane Beaumont?”
“I came to apologize to you.”
“Save it! Now, get out of here before I call the police to report a disturbance.”
“Your anger

“Thank you for seeing me,” said Lillian with a warm smile.“Of course,” Emilia replied.“Everything was a huge misunderstanding. Mother would have come with me to see you but she’s down with a cold.”“It’s ok. I understand. What shall I offer you?”Lillian chuckled. “You don’t have to be so formal with me. Reserve that for Mother.”Emilia laughed. Lillian was her first visitor after she returned to the city. Kane had asked to see her a couple of times but she’d turned down his requests. She wasn’t ready to face him again just yet.“It would be easy to just throw Kendra under the bus and pile all the blame on her, but we too failed you, Emilia. We allowed ourselves to be swayed by a few sensationalized photos. We didn’t even give you a chance to prove your innocence.”“Well, as my grandmother said, everyone makes mistakes.

“Please, stay. You can go back home tomorrow.”Emilia smiled and snuggled deeper into Kane’s arms. “I didn’t tell my parents that I’d be sleeping over here.”“I’m sure they’ll understand if you don’t show up tonight. It’s not like you’re a teenager with a curfew.”She giggled. “Still…”He held her tighter as if to let her know that he wasn’t ready to let her go. They were in his bed, recovering from the hottest makeup sex in the history of mankind.“I think you should move back here,” he said wistfully.“As what?”“As a part of my family. You were a Beaumont once, remember?”“That was then.”“Meaning?”“You know what I mean.”“Can we start over? And this time, we’ll have a proper relationship. We’ll go on dates

When she woke up, her eyelids felt heavy as if she’d been sleeping all day. She lifted herself to a sitting position and groaned with the effort because her back was sore.“You’re awake,” a man whispered.She turned to her right and saw a deliciously handsome man sitting on the chair beside her bed. He was staring at her as if she was an angel descending from heaven.He was dressed in a sky-blue polo shirt and blue jeans. His black wavy hair was badly in need of a trim and his hazel eyes glowed with awe.“What are you doing here?” She asked him.“I’ve been waiting for you to wake up,” he replied in a deep baritone voice.He reached for her hand, but she shrank away from him. What a creep! It wasn’t enough that he’d sat there and watched her sleep, now he wanted to touch her too.“Are you ok?” He asked.“I should be asking you that question. Why

“What the hell just happened?”“Emilia, calm down. There’s a perfectly sensible explanation for why Kane did that.”“I’m listening.”Lillian sighed. “Look, it’s deeper than you think, but let’s just say Kane did what he had to do to save everybody’s asses.”“I don’t think I’m part of the ‘everybody’ you’re talking about. I just got thrown under the bus on national TV and you’re telling me my ass got saved. How?”“Kendra’s family was blackmailing us.”“Us?”“Yes. The entire Beaumont family. She knows things about us that will ruin our reputation if the public ever got wind of them.”“Hold on. You mean you guys used me as the sacrificial lamb to save yourselves?”“Stop being dramatic, Emilia. This will blow over quickly. There’s a new

“If anyone finds out that I’m here, I’ll make sure you lose your job immediately. Is that clear?” “Yes, Mrs Beaumont,” the hotel manager said with a quavering voice. “Another thing: while I’m here, I prefer to be referred to as Ms Emilia. Calling me Mrs Beaumont is like announcing my presence to the entire staff and I don’t want that.” “Duly noted, ma’am.” “Good. Now, excuse me. I’ll ring down for dinner at 7 p.m. What’s the special on the menu today?” “Seared scallops and baby spinach with pomegranate glaze,” the hotel manager said proudly. “That’s a special?” She scoffed. “Just send me the full menu and I’ll choose something else.” “Right away, ma’am.” “Thank you, Maurice,” she said dryly and closed the door. As she walked back into the suite, she smiled at herself. Elsie and Lillian would be proud of her aristocratic manner if they saw her now. She was becoming a true Beaumont. “Aw, shucks! I don’t want to be a true Beaumont,” she said aloud to herself. “They’re a bunch of

“It’s so good to hear from you again, Emilia. How are you?”“Annoyed most times, but I’m fine. What about you?”“I miss you,” he blurted out. “I know I shouldn’t say that but it’s true. I miss you a lot.”Crap! Maybe this phone call was a mistake.“I shouldn’t have called you, Matt,” she said softly.“Please, don’t say that. I didn’t mean to offend you. I know you and Kane are married again, I was just saying…”“It’s fine. I’m not offended. I just don’t want you to think that I was trying to get back with you again. I just felt like talking to someone who isn’t heavily invested in my current situation.”“I understand. I wasn’t expecting to leave your husband for me either. I know that’s impossible.”She chuckled. “I still love him but I’m
