EMILY’S POV.I left John’s house after he said all he wanted to, and stopped at a café, to drink a little coffee. I didn’t know what next to do.Maybe I really had to move in because I couldn’t see myself begging John. My pride would never allow it. What made matters worse was that we were going to move to the family house. Had it been it were at his house, then I didn’t have to see anyone.The only time I’d see him would be when I was working. After that, I’d stay in other places he didn’t frequent, but at the main building, it was going to be really… not chaotic, like a real chaotic house was, but chaotic to me, who was used to living alone.After sipping coffee, and envying the people, who were having the fun of their lives without any worries, I decided to leave, and stop assuming things.Their lives may not be as perfect as I thought it was.Everyone had problems, and there was always someone with a bigger problem. I decided to be positive. There was someone dying in the hospital

14JOHN’S POV.Since Emily had left my house early that morning, my heart had been light. Emily was going to move in, and I was going to carry out my payback. It was petty of me, but Emily had gone too far. It was just too much.My pride had been stung. I was not one who was used to getting shouted on or insulted. Never had any girl, or anyone spoke to me with such disrespect. I was going to put her back where she belonged.How could she dare to behave coy or hard to get? Emily had broken the engagement, but one thing she didn’t know was that she could never stop loving me. I was the man she’d loved since elementary school.All through middle school, she’d only had eyes for me, and had been transformed into a smiling sausage when I asked her out. Emily didn’t know it, but staying in the same house with me would make it hard for her to forget about me, or hate me.In about two days, she’d be crying and wishing she could hold, and talk to me like she used to; in four days, we’d be makin

15EMILY’S POV.The dresses I saw were all beautiful, and I saw for the first time how truly wealthy John was. Katie picked out dresses, suits, blazers, and heels without looking at the price tags. I saw the price of a red blazer dress she bought, and almost choked.Anything she felt would suit me, she threw into the cart, regardless of the price. It was actually crazy. I could see why a lot of girls had envied me back in school. I had never really sat down to think of how wealthy John was because I was determined on getting wealthy myself, and promoting my designs.“You’d look beautiful in this. I’d be blinded.” I heard John say to Katie. I didn’t hear her reply, but knew she gave one.It made me uncomfortable knowing I was the one who used to hear all those cringey catchphrases, but I pretended to be immersed in a dress in front of me.John kept on flattering Katie, and I couldn’t tell if he wanted me to hear, or was really taken by Katie.When I had fought him, he had told me he’d

16LUCAS’ POVTray and I had been shocked when Mrs. Mayer decided to give us a second chance. We had forgotten all about signing a contract with her.So, as for her not to change her mind, I decided to leave for New Zealand that same day, since the flight was going to be a long one. Tray had told me to do whatever it took to secure the contract, but I knew in me that if they wanted something more than me signing the contract, I’d still leave.I’d seen far more persistent, and stubborn women. It’ll be shameless to be held down by someone like Stephanie.I went back home immediately, but didn’t see John at home. Instead, I saw Katie.“Katie.” I called, and she turned around.“Good morning, Alpha Lucas.” She greeted, with a little smile.“Have you seen John? Where is he?” I asked.“I’m afraid he left to make preparations for the broken sculpture. He might be back soon. Would you like to wait?” She asked.“I don’t think I can.”“Is there a problem?”“I have to leave.”“Um, are you aware o

17EMILY’S POV.The dinner was an intense one for me, with the family not wasting time to hint at me not being good enough, especially the children.In fact, the adults hinted at Katie being the better option, by complimenting her beauty, smooth skills, eloquence, and calmness, although they never said it out loud that they were comparing her to me.It was what I ought to know since I wasn’t a fool.“Katie’s so sweet with the knife.” Derel said, staring at her in awe, as she cut up a strong piece of meat for him, and she smiled, giving him a little bow.“I like how she’s mysterious. I’ll totally want her for a… uh, what’s John to me?” Sadie asked, and everyone laughed.“He’s your cousin, darling.” Her father replied.“And what’s my cousin’s wife to me?” She asked.“I think the answer is your cousin’s wife.” Derel replied, looking like he doubted his own words.“It’s Cousin-in-law.” Jude corrected quietly.“My smart beauty.” Lady Genevieve said calmly, and for the first time that night

18LUCAS’ POV.“No, I don’t know her.” I replied, and was technically saying the truth, or maybe it was a half-lie and a half-truth. He asked if I knew Emily, but I didn’t. She was still a stranger to me. I knew her identity, which made me a liar, but apart from that, I knew nothing about her. Her personality, where she lived, where she worked. I didn’t know anything about her, so that passed as the truth.“Why did you ask?” I asked, and he sighed.“It was just something about the way she stared at you when she first saw you. It was like she was seeing a ghost. She couldn’t hold your hand properly. Like you guys knew each other, and she was shocked to find out you were my Uncle. When I told her you were my Uncle, that was when she stepped backwards, and succeeded in pushing the heirloom off the table.” He said.“Hmm. Maybe I was too handsome?” I asked, teasing, and he laughed.“I know you’re teasing, but how can you sound so serious when you’re joking?” He asked, and I burst into laug

19EMILY’S POV.The next time I opened my eyes, the suns rays were playing on my face through the open window.“Good morning, ma’am.” I heard a maid say, and tilted my head upwards, slightly to look at her.“What happened?” I asked, and she came to my bedside.“You fainted, and we had to rush you to the hosoital. The doctor said you had outdone yourself, and were being stressed physically, mentally, and emotionally.” She said, and I groaned.“Who said I was struggling mentally and emotionally? Did he open up the walls of my mind to see? Is he a psychologist? I was completely fine yesterday morning, until I began to work like I had twenty maids imbued in me.” I snapped, and she smiled.I didn’t want John thinking in the least that he managed to get a reaction from me, or that anything he was doing was getting to me. He had decided to torture me, and proclaim us as enemies. There was no way I could show my weakness no matter how hurt, sad, depressed, and defeated I felt.“The doctor sai

LUCAS’ POV.I was taken aback by the question. I hadn’t expected it at all. Was she trying to impose it on me to say something nice, or was she really asking for my honest opinion?I sighed, ready to speak. Being honest was always the way to go. I parted my lips to begin, but she was faster.“Let me make it easier. What do you think of her, as a person, business partner, and as a marriage partner? You know if we join forces through marriage, we’ll be formidable. We’ll conquer both the home, and international market easily. We won’t have any competitors.” She said.I was well aware of that fact. Marrying Stephanie and taking over her companies, and adding them to mine was definitely going to skyrocket me to immeasurable success, but…I wasn’t that greedy.“As a person, Stephanie is beautiful, she’s smart, graceful, and eloquent. As a business partner, I think I’ll admire her wits and confidence. She can make potential business partners feel like they’re on the losing side if they don’t

96EMILY’S POV.“I… don’t know.” I said and she raised a brow. I couldn’t recall if I ever asked myself that question, but at the moment, I was. Did I like Lucas as more than a friend? Or did I just feel too free around him?One thing I knew was that I liked him than I ever liked all my friends, and at the moment, I liked him more than I liked John.“I don’t know if I like him that way, but if I do, and do not know about it yet, then I’ll try my best to stop it. I know it’s not right.” I said, fiddling with my fingers, hoping that saving her life accidentally would be enough to make her take my side.“You know, it was a big shame when you broke off the engagement with John. I thought of all the marriages we declined, and all the people who knew about it, but it was even a bigger shame seeing John’s unfaithful and disgusting chat exposed in such a manner. John does not worth you. Any man who stoops so low to cheat, does not deserve his woman, not if she’s cheating too.“But, as of this

95LUCAS’ POV.I wondered what Lady Genevieve had to say to Emily, but it couldn’t have been anything bad. After all, she had been the one to discover her, and call for help.Raymond had insisted it wasn’t thanks to her, but instead, it was thanks to him who had told Emily to find her. Had it been someone like Mandy, she could have left Lady Genevieve there. Emily had a choice to open the door after knocking, and she also had a choice to leave, and search elsewhere.“Did you come with Emily?” John asked me, as I made to leave.“Why do you ask?” I asked, and he gave a scoff.“Mere curiosity.”“No.”“You didn’t come with her?” He asked.He continued, “Why do you always stay close to her? I mean, you guys are always together most of the time. What’s going on between you both?” He asked me.“I thought we were over this.” I said, pressing the button of the elevator.“No, we aren’t. Emily is my—We’re not married at the moment, or dating, but I believe she will come back to me. But if she ke

94EMILY’S POV.I dashed to her immediately I saw her sprawled in that unnatural angle. Her eyeglasses seemed to have broken, and I wondered how hard she fell.“Lady Genevieve, Lady Genevieve!” I called to check for any signs of consciousness. It seemed she had passed out completely. I placed my head on her chest gently to see if her heart was still beating. It was.I got up, and ran out the door.“Help! Lady Genevieve fainted!” I called out, and the maids stationed around her room, ran to me. Together, we all lifted her. It turned out she had a lot of weight, and we struggled to lift her out.We decided to go through the back exit, as it was closer to us.More maids who saw us, joined us in lifting her, and we managed to get to the driver, who immediately jumped into the driver’s seat, and began to drive us.As for the family, they would be informed once we were sure she was fine. There was no time to waste. At the nearest hospital, we took her out of the car, and the ER doctors assi

93LUCAS’ POV.I looked at the ladies, trying to pick out who among them was making me feel that way. It was a really uneasy feeling. I leaned back in my sofa, and studied the ladies, who began to introduce themselves.“I’m Keith.” The first one, who looked smart said.“I’m Sandra.” The girl in all pink said, with her smile growing wider.“I’m Mina.” The quiet girl dressed in all black said, in a calm voice.“I’m Judy!” The girl who had been rocking back and forth on her feet said, with excitement.“I’m Paris.” The girl who I had perceived as not confident said in a low voice.“I’m Tenor.” Said the one in flashy clothes, with a bold smiled.“I’m Jenny.” The last girl, who looked really shy said.It turned out there was really no way of judging which of them gave me the awful feeling. I looked into their faces carefully, and some smiled back, while some looked like they were suddenly unsure if they had zipped their zippers.Who among the beautiful girls could make me feel so uneasy?

92EMILY’S POV.I looked at her, and there was a desperateness in her eyes, as if she could make me say I didn’t like him. It angered me. She had been rude to me, but wanted me to answer her petty question.By her side, a hand was folded into a tight fist, and it made me give a smile.“I believe it’s not my duty to keep whatever I feel for Lucas in check. Right? It’s also not my duty to explain our relationship, and what goes on between us, so I’m sorry, but I do not owe you an answer to your question.” I said, and made to walk past her, but she held my elbow.I looked at it, and jerked it out of her hand.She didn’t deserve to hold me like that.I walked away from her, and sat at the dining table.“What would you like to eat?” Kaye asked me.“Maybe some cereal. I don’t really have much appetite. I ate a lot yesterday.” I said to her, rubbing my eyes.“Cornflakes?”“Is there Cinnamon crunch? I thought I saw it the other day.” I said, leaning backwards on my chair.“Yes, there is. Wait

91LUCAS’ POV.As I drove to work, I couldn’t help a smile from forming on my face. Emily being jealous was just the cutest thing ever. So all because she saw Katie kissing me, she decided to be curt and distant with everyone?And what was that she said about being possessive with her male friends?I laughed; I had acquired a possessive female friend.I got to work, and met Tray scolding two female employees who had accidentally managed to smear lipstick on an important piece of paper.“This is really crazy. How in the world did you manage to do this!?” He asked, throwing the paper on them. “Look at that paper. Does it look like it was typed out? No, idiots! It was handwritten! And you smeared lipstick all over it like that? Tell me why you were putting on lipstick at work. Did you come to work to flirt or to look pretty? How do I apologize for this?” He asked, and I waited in front of the elevator, while he raged on.“We’re so sorry, Mr. Turner.”“Don’t you worry. Maybe if I tell the

90EMILY’S POV.Katie looked like she’d been hit by a ball flying through the air.She stared at Derella speechlessly, unable to say a word. She had probably never expected to hear something like that.“I know it’s weird, and you never expected this, but I’m sorry. This is who I am, and you’re who I like. Actually, I…. I don’t want to cause you some inconvenience because I know you don’t like me, but I just thought I had to say it out. If I want to be at peace with myself, then you should know I’ve always been soft for you.” Derella said, staring into Katie’s face, searching out the unspoken words.“You. Not Derel?”“I’m gay. Remember?”“Oh.”“I know you’re flustered, but this is just to get it off my chest. It’s been bothering me for a while now, and I really needed to say something.” Derella said, placing her hands behind her back, and dealing harshly with her fingers.“Thanks. I don’t know what to say. Am… am I saying the wrong thing? I’m… I’m really sorry. I had no idea, and… I gu

89EMILY’S POV.I wanted to hit myself if I could, but of course, I couldn’t. Maybe a written apology the next morning would do. I didn’t want him thinking I was taking his friendship for granted.I got to my room lazily, and opened the door feeling like shit, only to scream, as I saw Lucas sitting on my bed, with his legs crossed.I looked behind me, like I would be able to see him sitting at the dining. What was he doing there? Who was the person I left at dinner?“Lucas?”“Do you think it’s a ghost?”“I… I left you at dinner.”“Oh, I took the other way, and raced you to your room.” He said, and my cheeks flushed. I could feel the mean, nasty girls in me ready to resume the fight.Gosh, why won’t they rest? They should just stop! I didn’t want to fight, I only wanted answers because my brain wouldn’t stop coming up with nasty answers of its own.“Oh.”“Are you jealous?” He asked, and my eyes opened wide.“J…jealous? Why would you say that? Why would I be jealous? There’s no way I ca

88EMILY’S POV.I turned away quickly, staring at the wall closest to me. Did I see well? Were my suspicions of the previous day right? Did Lucas like her? Were they dating? Since when?I began to walk away, not wanting to be caught in such an uncomfortable situation. Blindly, I walked away from them, and winded up in the garden. I plopped onto the grass, and tried to erase the image I had just seen from my head.I felt so wronged, angry and jealous at the same time. They were probably having the best of time with each other.Why would Lucas flirt with me all night, and kiss another woman the next morning? Okay, we were just plain friends, but…“Damn! Friends.” I spat. Why was I mad? I myself had said it so many times that we were just friends, and nothing more.Just friends. Friends alone.It stung to think that he might decide to reciprocate Katie’s feelings. But did he really see me as just a friend and nothing else?It felt really weird. I had never felt that way before. Not knowi
