Emma smiled as she entered the elevator. That afternoon, when she came back from her meeting, she had a proper sleep for the first time in weeks. She held onto the man’s words—he would find the person threatening her. She had waited when she woke up from her nap, but there were no calls or messages from the man.

The elevator chimed. When she stepped inside the penthouse, the room was quiet. She thought Ezra wasn’t home, but she had seen the car he normally took to work parked in the garage.

“Hello,” Emma called as she walked farther into the room. “Hello?”

She finally heard footsteps coming from the stairs. Zoe came running down.

“Emma!”

She ran so fast that Emma feared she would tumble. Ezra followed behind her. Zoe’s arms wrapped around Emma, and Emma knelt to hug her properly.

“I missed you. Daddy said you were busy.”

Emma glanced up at Ezra, who mouthed, “But it’s true.”

“How have you been?” she asked Zoe, who was visibly excited. “Have you eaten?”

Zoe nodded. “Natie was a little

    Emma cleared her throat. “I’ll make sure you get your dream fulfilled.”“You already made the first one come true,” Jade saidThat brought tears to Emma's eyes. What was a big sister for? After Jade was done, they got ready to head out. Emma had booked a ride to take them to the market. From there, they would stroll through the big city until their hearts were content.The sun was as bright as she’d predicted, so she wore her big straw hat and sunglasses. She lent one of her own sunglasses to Jade and took her to a shop to buy her a hat. As they stepped outside, Jade linked her arm through Emma’s.“So, how do we start the day?” Emma asked.“I’ve always wanted to go into those expensive shops and shop with friends,” Jade said with a small laugh. “I never got to do that in high school because I didn’t have many friends. Do you know how jealous I felt when I saw those girls come back with latest bags, shoes, lip gloss, and clothes? It was painful not to experience that.”Emma felt a pan

  • One Night Stand With Her Billionaire CEO   If They Became Better

    Seeing Heather at her front door startled her. How the fuck did she even know she lived there? How did she get in freely, as if she were a resident?“What are you—”Heather brushed past her into the house before Emma could finish. She glanced around, taking in the view before turning to her. “You have a nice place. You have no idea what I had to do to get your address. No one knew you’d moved to the Upper East Side.”Emma froze. Heather couldn’t get over what she had done to find the address. She had slept with Scott again. It was becoming a ritual—whenever she needed something, he made her pay for it in the same way. She didn’t enjoy it, but Scott always gave her what she wanted afterward. She hadn’t gotten the child’s hair the last time, but this time, she definitely would.“Why are you here?” Emma asked, voice flat.“You’ve been ignoring my messages and calls. It was important that I see you.”“I really don’t think—”“Are you expecting someone?” Heather interrupted, stepping into t

    The man was dressed in a suit, and he had on sunglasses. He was tall, fit, and had a buzz-cut of black hair. He looked like he was in his late thirties. He led the path for Emma, and she followed behind as he opened the door.A little boy waited by the door, clutching a small nylon bag.The butcher’s shop smelled of salt and fresh blood. Thick meat hung from iron hooks along the wall; their surfaces were glossy under the dim yellow bulbs. Behind the counter, rows of wooden boards were lined with smaller cuts — ribs stacked neatly, minced meat pressed into trays, and a bowl of bones pushed to one side.A fan hummed lazily above, too slow to chase away the smell.The butcher, a broad man with a stained apron, looked up from his loud chopping. He wore a cap, and he had a strong gaze on his face — the kind that looked like he had never smiled a day in his life. It did look like it was meant to be scary because little kids were afraid of him, and even adults couldn’t mess up when he was ne

  • One Night Stand With Her Billionaire CEO   Miss A

    Emma couldn’t go back to the company because she was scared the man would come back. What would he do next? she wondered as she sat in the corridor, her hands trembling slightly. The doctor had told her that afternoon that her mother would be discharged tomorrow. The thought terrified her. How was she supposed to protect her family now? That man would target them again.“You should go home. It’s getting late,” Alice said the moment Emma stepped into the room. Luke hadn’t been back since he left that afternoon, and she had given him his space.“No. I should stay here.”“You have a job, Emma. I’m fine. Go back home. I’ll call you if anything happens.”Emma raised a brow. “You promise?”“Yes. I’ll call you. And hey, don’t put too much mind on Luke. He’ll come around.”Emma shook her head, her lips tightening. “I deserve this hatred. I should have told them before I left. If I were in his position, I’d feel the same way. I just hope one day he finds it in his heart to forgive me.”That ni

  • One Night Stand With Her Billionaire CEO   Do You Like My Gift?

    The words made Emma freeze. She knew he would want this, but she didn’t think it would be this early.“What do you think?” he asked again.“That is a good idea,” She said instantly.“Really?” He was taken aback.She nodded. She had no idea what she was doing, but something came to her. If she got closer to the Queens, it meant protection. It meant Ezra would protect her and Zoe. “Yes.”He heaved a sigh of relief. “I was scared you wouldn’t approve, since you want Zoe to stay away from the spotlight.”“I still want that.” She held his hand tightly. “But I also want her to be known by your family.”“Well, you know if my family gets to know, it means my mother won’t shut up about it.”Emma chuckled softly. “I know that about Josie. You know what—” she took a deep breath, steadying her nerves. “How about we do this after Zoe’s fourth birthday?”His brow lifted. “You mean I can break the news then? Zoe will be happy.”She smiled faintly. “Yes.”He nodded slowly. “Okay, that will work. But
