25EMILY’S POV.I sprang to my feet, staring at the smashed laptop in disbelief. What had just happened? Was it really John’s laptop that had been smashed to the floor?Why would she do that!?“Why would you do that?” I asked hotly, turning to her, but the only thing she did was glare at me, like I was the one who had done something wrong.I was confused.“If you answer my question, then I’ll answer yours.” She replied haughtily, “Why would you do such a thing?” She asked, leaving me in more confusion than I had been.“Why would I do what?” I asked, my brows knitting together.“How could you even think in all your lowliness to raise your voice on John? I mean… each time I hear how it all played out, I get mad. I boil with so much rage that it feels like I’ll go crazy if I don’t do something drastic.” She spat out, using her hand gestures to show how she felt.“And what is so bad about that? People raise their voices when they get mad, they…”“Not you! Not to John. He’s a freaking Alph

26LUCAS’ POV.I decided to wait, and listen to whatever it was that Stephanie had to say. She finally got to me, and laid her hands on her knees, panting.She looked as if she had chased after me immediately I left. She was in an apricot satin shirt, and shorts. The design made me aware it was her nightclothes. Then, she wore a long red coat over it.Finally, she raised her head, and looked at me, still breathing hard. Her eyes shone with tears.“I’m sorry. Okay?” She swallowed. “I’m truly sorry. I admit I was cheap, brazen, and… disgusting, but… I don’t know. I just… I’m really sorry.” She said, still breathing hard, and her tears became larger bubbles in her eyes.I had to admit I was taken aback. Was she really apologizing?“I took some time to reflect on myself, and discovered the reason for my short-term relationships. Maybe I needed someone like you to tell me the harsh truth. No…nobody bothered to tell me, you know. It hurts to hear it from someone I really like, but perhaps i

27EMILY’S POV.I stared at Katie for a while, who looked like she had a thousand things on her mind. Could she be feeling guilty about sleeping with John? Thinking about it, she had been really shocked when I caught her sleeping with John.She looked at me with fear afterward. Had she been masking her remorse and guilt? Because she was nothing like Mandy. She was more laid back, and calm, and didn’t look like she liked much trouble.Had John forced her to sleep with him? Did he prey on her, and threaten her with something else? No, she seemed quite close with John. She and Mandy called him by his name, and John said he trusted his secretary more than he trusted me.She looked away from the window, and accidentally spotted me staring. She blinked once, and got to her feet.Her head lowered in a little bow, and she gracefully walked away in her black shirt, and fitted white skirt.“What are you thinking? It doesn’t change the fact that John cheated on you with her, and she sounded like

EMILY’S POVSeeing how I broke into uncontrollable tears over something that ought to have caused me to simply bite my lip, and grunt in anger; I finally realized how much I was hurting.I had been telling myself I was fine, and had pushed down my hurt by trying to encourage myself.I wasn’t fine. No, not at all. I was hurt, and broken in the worst way. John had gotten to me after all. Everything about my life sucked. I just wanted to wake up, and realize it had all just been a horrible nightmare.My tears streamed down my face hotly, and it seemed like they emitted steam that heated my whole face.The maids looked puzzled, as they tried to console me.They were probably wondering why I was crying so hard over papers.I want to go home, I wish to leave. Damn, I hate John! I hate everything! Aaaah! Why’s my life so messed up? Three years is a long hell of a time. Three good years living with such an idiot, I couldn’t keep the words blasting from all corners of my mind.Would I ever be

29EMILY’S POV.I took a step back, but he covered the distance between us in mere seconds. He towered over me, and I tried to push him away, but he held my arm strongly.“I want us to talk in my room.” He said, and I jerked my arm out of his, hard.“Why can’t we talk here? Is there anyone stopping you? Why does a secretary have to go into your bedroom to talk?” I shot at him, and his eyes continued to have that dangerous glint in them.Then he successfully backed me into the wall. He moved so fast that I couldn’t even think. All I did was reverse, trying to get out of his way, and I hit the wall hard. I gave a little pained gasp, and my hand went to the back of my head.“Why do we have to go into my room to talk? Do you have any cause to question me?” He asked, giving me a condescending look.“You’re despicable, John. What are you implying?” I asked, trying to push him away, but he only came closer, suffocating me.“That I want you. Do you want to do it here, or in my room?”I would

30LUCAS’ POVImmediately the call ended, I sprang to my feet, and left the hotel room. I needed to know if Tray was fine. What could have happened? What could have made him sound so scared?I took a cab, and made the long journey to Tray. All the way to his house, my heart thrummed in fear. What exactly could have happened? I dialed his number several times, but it was switched off.“Can you please go faster?” I asked, and the driver nodded, increasing his speed.When I got to Tray’s house, I ran in, pushing the door, which was open, and burst into his living room which was dark.“Tray!” I called, and suddenly, the light came on, and I was doused in cold liquid.Screams and applause rose, and more champagne bottles popped in my direction.Tray came to me, and wrapped me in his arms, laughing. I was still dumbstruck. What was happening? What were they doing?My employees were everywhere, bringing dishes of food, and cups for drinks.“It’s a party for getting the contract that every bu

31EMILY’S POV.When we had been told of Lucas’ arrival, I was surprised at how quickly John’s expression changed. He closed his eyes, and exhaled softly.If I was right, it seemed like he was finally realizing what he was doing. It felt like maybe Lucas was someone who corrected him a lot. Because the look on his face was like he had been unable to stop himself from doing something he had been cautioned against.He left me, and walked out of the study, and I followed after him immediately. It was my chance to escape.I saw Lucas standing there, and it shook me how handsome he was. He looked tired, but it didn’t kill the glow in his green eyes. His brown hair was perfectly styled atop his head, with the sides shaved in a low cut, and he was fashionable with his white T-shirt styled in a french tuck, into green pants—the color of his eyes.On his arm was a white coat, and his sneakers were a design I had not seen anywhere else. They were definitely limited edition sneakers.Our eyes me

32EMILY’S POV.I stood in front of Lucas who looked every bit as handsome as he was that night. Why did he keep looking more handsome the more I saw him?His brown hair looked tousled, and hung low on his beautiful face. He was intent on looking at me, as he talked about our night, and I was shocked at myself when I blurted out that I didn’t know him.Why did I do that? The letter was right in my skirt pocket, so why did I lie that I didn’t know him?My heart fought to tear out of my chest, and my face burned hot. He knew I was lying, and that was the reason he kept staring at me intently.“Really? You’re not the drunk woman who claimed she was drugged?” He asked, in a voice as smooth as butter, and my eyes looked everywhere, but his face.“I… I have a common face. People always tell me my face is really common. Almost a lot of girls have dark blonde hair, and dark eyes like mine, and… and since it was… at night, you must have been mistaken because I and… I and the drunken lady have

98JOHN’S POV.(The previous evening)I poured myself fruit wine after finishing my work for the day. It had been so long since I finished my daily work. Most of the time, I carried over work to the next day, so the wine was more of a celebration thing.“Didn’t know wine still tastes good in an office setting.” I murmured to myself, and looked out the window. “It’s snowing.”‘It’s snowing, John! Aliens!’ I heard Emily scream in my head. Her giggles followed. ‘I know they’re not aliens. What do I say? Childhood stories stick!’That was our first Christmas together. The snow had come really late, making everyone wonder if it was ever going to snow that Christmas. Alas, it had.“We didn’t imagine a Christmas without her, John.” I said, swirling my drink in my glass.Just then, my door was pushed open.“Gosh.” I exclaimed, softly, as I was caught off guard.Katie stormed in, and stood in front of me.“Sweet to drink wine alone on a snowy night when your woman is out there having coffee, a

97LUCAS’ POV.(The previous evening)I watched Derel and Tenor, trying to understand the situation. Where did they meet? Why were they so casual with each other? She didn’t look like an high school student, so I couldn’t imagine where they could have met long enough to have such relationship with each other.“Don’t touch me.” Derel said, jerking his arm out of her hand. She took off her jacket completely, and hit him with it.“What is the matter with you? Must you be so headstrong?” She asked, heatedly.“I believe you have no business judging whether I’m headstrong or not.” Derel said. “We don’t know each other, do we?” He asked coldly, and walked away, but she followed him. I wanted to go with them, but my phone rang.It was Emily. I picked it, and we talked a little after I suggested having coffee, which was weird, judging that the sky had darkened, but she didn’t mind.I doubted I was the only one offering to drink coffee at night.I left Derel, since I was sure he was perfectly c

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
