EMILY’S POV.

(Hours Earlier)

*

It felt like boiling blood rushing through my veins, and I flew at John, holding his collars tightly, as angry tears formed in my eyes.

“Miss!” The maids called, as they ran towards us, after hearing me scream. They stumbled on the strange scene, and stopped in their tracks.

“You…” It felt like my chest was going to explode with all the emotions I felt in there. My lips tightened, and so did my fingers around his collar, as he grinned.

“What?”

I released a hand, and whacked him hard on the face. The maids gasped.

Before he could raise his head, I whacked him hard again. Still unsatisfied, I raised my hand to whack him a third time, but he held it.

“Spilt milk, cracked egg… what will you fix by hitting me?” He asked venomously.

“Do you think that petty thing would get me married to you?” My voice shook deeply with the rage coursing through my veins. It felt like a monster was going to rise within me. I wanted to keep on hitting and hitting him till he

    126LUCAS’ POV.“How many times are you going to watch that?” Tray asked, folding his clothes.“Till I memorize every look in her eyes, and draw them without watching the video.” I said, watching the video of Emily being made up, so she could take wedding photos with John.“You already watched that like a thousand times, yet you haven’t memorized every look in her eyes?”“Yes.”“When are you going to go back home?”“Till I can face her, and congratulate her with a smile on my face.” I replied dryly.“And when is that going to be?” He asked.“I don’t know.”“Just imagine. Your siblings would go crazy if they heard you lied about a trip just to camp out at my house, bribing me by taking on all my living expenses.” He said, fetching more clothes to fold.“Why would they go crazy?”“Because they’ll know something fishy is going on! They’ll know you like her.” He said, and I stared into Emily’s dark eyes, which looked exceptionally beautiful with mascara and eyeliner.She took pictures wit

    124LUCAS’ POV.I pulled on a sweatshirt after taking a warm shower, and looked at the lotion Emily gave me. I would have preferred not to use it, but Emily would think I didn’t like it, and that wasn’t the case.Keeping it safe and pretty for when I wanted to remember my most beautiful new year was my intention.Shortly, someone knocked.“Come in.” I said, applying the lotion onto the back of my palm.“Happy New Year.”I turned to look at John as I massaged the lotion onto my hands.“Smells nice.” He said, and I looked at my hands. “You don’t use this kind of stuff. Who gave it to you?” He asked, coming closer to me.“Someone.” I replied, sitting in the chair, trying to clear my desk.“Someone I know?” He asked, and I focused on clearing the desk. He took the lotion and studied it. “Seeing that you don’t want to reply, and also seeing that this is exactly the kind of thing Emily likes to receive as gifts, I’m guessing she gave it to you. Because there’s no way you’ll know exactly wha

    123JOHN’S POV.I couldn’t explain the happiness filling me as the thunder raged on. Thunder on the last day of the snowing year. People would think ‘wow, it is something unusual to welcome the new year.’, but I knew it was to strengthen my bond with Emily. It was the long forgotten Alpha Marriage.The papers alone weren’t ordinary papers. They were papers with strength in them, papers with binding powers, and Katie had gone through hell to get them for me. In return, I had given her the company card to do whatever she liked with it, and she had been grateful.“Emily, you don’t know how happy I am.” I said, arranging the documents. “This… we’re finally together. Nothing is tearing us apart. Gosh, I didn’t think it would be as easy as this. This is beautiful.” I said, getting up.I kept the documents in a safe folder, and returned to her.“Emily.” I called, and she raised her head weakly, looking at me with angry tears. She didn’t even have enough strength to look angry.I bent, and ga

    122EMILY’S POVCold…Ice…Freezing…My eyes flew open, and my elbow immediately rose to shield my face from the stunning light of the sun, flitting in through the open windows.“Gosh.” I said, curling into a ball, as chilly air blew in harshly from the window.Then I discovered the covers weren’t on me. I had kicked them aside. I was about to fetch them, and cover myself when I realized I wasn’t in my bedroom.“This…” my hands found their way to my mouth, and I checked my clothes immediately. Why was I in John’s bedroom?I was still dressed in my T-shirt and jeans, and my coat was hanging on his chair.“Nothing happened yesterday, right? Gosh, what happened?” I asked myself, as I ran a hand through my hair. It was a complete blank.“Emily!” I scolded myself. “I had chicken, and roasted potatoes. John and I talked a lot… and… and… we drank cocktails. Did his friends come or not? Gosh, did I blank out from just two cocktails?” I asked myself, and bit my lip hard.I got up from the bed,

    121JOHN’S POV.Panic seemed to light up on her face, as she realized I had drugged her. She closed her eyes tight, and opened them wide.“Damn you. You drugged me. Why? John, you…” She managed to say, and blinked rapidly, trying to clear her vision, which was probably blurry, and a little dark.I twirled my drink in my glass. “Relax. Nothing’s going to come out of you fighting anyway.” I said, with a smile.Her eyes filled with angry tears, and she held her head, trying to breathe calmly.“It was so hard to get this drug, you know?” I said, and looked at her glass.It had actually been easier than I expected. Emily had been so easy to fool. First, she had sweetly waited for friends that would never come, and had easily fallen for my trick when I asked to see the fastest drinker.I needed something quite effective, and her drinking it all had been the best way to get it to work quickly.My friends had tried so hard to get the drug for me because the next time she peed, even doctors wo

    120LucAS’ POV.“Hey.” I said, nudging Tray with my foot. “You’re going to have a party, right?”“Nope. This new year, I’m staying alone.” He replied, scrolling through social media.“Why?” That was quite odd. “You have parties every year for Christmas and New year.”“I feel dull.”“You can’t feel dull. You’ll be holding a party.” I said. Not after I told Emily he was holding a party.“Says who?”“Says me.”“Why?”“I will give you the money you need for everything. You don’t have enough money, that’s why you’re not throwing a party, right?” I asked, and he turned to me slowly, and just as slowly, his straight face broke into a smile.“You got me. Now why do you need a party?”“Because I told Emily you were having one. So, do you have people to invite?”“So many! About thirteen people have asked if I was having a party or not.”“Great. You’ll create the order of events, right? I told her the party is overnight, but the real deal starts in the morning by ten. Just invite twenty to twent

    119EmiLY’S POV.I looked at myself in the mirror. I had dressed in a white satin shirt, and a long, pleated, black silk skirt. It was the last day of the year, and I wanted to look simple because John wasn’t worth looking impressive for.I definitely didn’t want him thinking I had dressed up prettily for him because dressing up prettily for him was the last thing on my mind.“Pretty casual, right?” I asked, throwing out my arms, showing myself to Sadie who sat on my bed, eating hot potatoes, which she juggled between her palms.“You look pretty.” She said, and blew hot steam from her mouth.“I do? Do you think I should change into a casual T-shirt and pants?” I asked, going to my wardrobe.“You shouldn’t go.”“Oh, come on.” I said, taking out a white T-shirt, and a pair of blue boyfriend jeans.“John is acting really weird. He’s not usually this sweet. He wants something.” She said.“He wants to be friends.” I said, hopping around, as I tried to put on the jeans, while standing.“Fri

    118JOHN’S POV.I looked out the window, and saw it was snowing heavily. The snowflakes seemed to turn and fall like confetti. The morning would definitely be dull and gloomy.Katie couldn’t have left, so I dialed her number.She picked on the third ring.“Yes?” She asked.“Where are you?” I asked.“In the living room.”“Lucas and Emily?”“In the kitchen.”“Damn them. Well, I need you.”“For what exactly?” She asked, with her tone sounding hard.“I’m not telling you to sleep with me. I want information. Come up to my room.” I said, rolling my eyes.“I’ll be there.” She replied, and ended the call.“You are mine, Emily. Mine and no one else’s.” I said, pouring myself wine. “We’re going to end up marrying, and I’ll find a way to convince you that I’m the best for you.” I picked up my glass, looking at it like it were Emily.“You enjoyed singing with me at the arcade. We shared popcorn at the cinema, and you blush each time you look at me. You want me. You love me. You just don’t know it
