EMMA POV

I walked into the private lounge, my phone held tightly in my palm.

I paused when I saw Cole. He stood by the window, staring outside, and sipping from a glass of wine.

I cleared my throat as he lifted the glass to his lips, “hey…”

He paused and turned, our eyes locked across the room.

“You asked to see me," I fidgeted with my fingers, weirdly nervous around him.

“You seem close to Daniel for a woman who's already married…" he said calmly, a smirk curling the corner of his

    Chapter 52EMMA POV “You said you had something to take care of. Is this it?" Cole asked, and I blinked.My eyes lingered on him for a moment, part of me wanted to tell him yes, but what if he asked me questions? Maybe asking how I knew that was going to happen? How would I explain it to him?“Let me know when you want me to move in," I said, reaching for the napkin to wipe my mouth.That should answer his question.“It's up to you. You can move in tonight if you want," he shrugged casually."Are you going to tell everyone about us?” I asked, and he nodded."Yeah, sure. We should at least tell my dad. He's been on my neck about it,”I nodded in agreement. "You should,”"Tonight it is, then,” I tapped the table gently, then stood and turned to leave, but paused and sighed, turning back to him."I would have to go and get my stuff from the house tomorrow or the day after,”He nodded. "Let me know when you're ready. I'll send Marcus with you,”I smiled. "Good night,” then I turned to l

    Chapter 51EMMA POV ‘I’ll come pick you up’Cole pulled over in front of me a few minutes after his text came in.I didn't want to ask him for help, but I didn't have a choice, so I had to reach out to him.“I'm so sorry for bothering you. I guess I owe you for this again," I sighed as I hopped in beside him."Hmm,” he just hummed."You should fasten your seatbelt,” he said, not looking at me."Oh, right…” I quickly reached for the seatbelt, but struggled to touch it as my body was already aching all over.“Let me help with that…” he said, and before I could say anything, he suddenly leaned in, his body brushing against mine.I leaned back into the seat, my heart pounding, fingers tightening on my thighs, and as his finger brushed against my skin, I felt a spark inside me.My heart continued racing even long after he pulled away. Shit! What's wrong with me?The drive was in total awkward silence, and after twenty minutes, we were already in his apartment."I'm sorry once again for b

    Chapter 50EMMA POV Reporters were already swarming outside the villa by the time I stepped outside, waiting to interview me.This wasn't part of the plan, but thankfully, Cole was there to sneak me into his car, and Marcus left to drop Chloe at home.I sat beside Cole in the car, staring outside the window as the city blurred past us. A smile crept up my face as memories of earlier clawed back into my mind. The look on their faces. I hadn't been that satisfied in my entire life like I was at that moment.The car came to a halt, snapping me back to reality.I looked out through the window. Cole was already parked in front of our gate.“Thanks for the ride… I owe you for tonight,” I said, then stepped out of the car.He just nodded and drove off, my eyes lingered on his car until he was out of my sight.I sighed. He didn't say a word to me all through the ride. Not even about what happened earlier. Did he have nothing to ask?With a heavy sigh, I turned on my heel and headed inside.

    Chapter 49EMMA POV “Mr Cole? What's he doing here?" Chloe's faint voice echoed in my ear as my eyes fixed on Cole.He stood across the room in a perfectly tailored black tuxedo, a pale grey waistcoat that hugged his broad chest. The light caught the gold pin hanging on his tie, and somehow, that small detail made him look dangerously elegant.For a moment, I forgot how to breathe.Fucking hell! What's his business with being so damn hot?His gaze caught mine, before he started walking over to me.Chloe's nails dug into my dress as she hyperventilated. "He's staring at you… Oh, my God, Emma! He's coming to you,”I couldn't move. Couldn't look away.He paused in front of me, hands in his pockets, and eyes locked on me.My throat tightened. I opened my mouth, but no words came out."I hope I'm not late…” he looked around briefly, then back to me. He didn't smile, but a small smirk played at the corner of his lips.“I… I thought you… I mean, you said you were busy. How come you're here?

    Chapter 48EMMA POV The day I've been waiting for was finally here. I stood before the mirror in my room, staring at my reflection. A black stoned fitted gown, black heels, black purse, and a black lipstick to compliment the dress.Yes… I am officially severing my ties with the Whitcomb today, so it's only normal that I mourn it, right?Mom and dad already left for the party with Eleanor, leaving me behind… Just like that did back then. They told me to find my way there. They needed to take Eleanor to look around first before the party began.The truth is, I didn't want to go with them either.Jeffery’s call came in.“Hey, Jeff?" I pressed the phone to my ear.“I've sent the paintings to them now," his voice echoed through the phone, and a smile crept up my face.“Thank you, Jeff," “You know you've been acting really weird lately, right, Emma? Why did you move the paintings when it's being launched and probably auctioned today?" “I just had them delivered to their new owner," I wa

    Chapter 47EMMA POV “Are you really planning to marry Cole?" He asked for the second time, his eyes didn't leave mine.I stared at him quietly, then a smirk curled my lips. “What do you think?" He blinked, then huffed, running his fingers through his hair.“Chloe… You can't do this, alright? You can't do this to me. Think about everything we've been through—”"Oh, please, Daniel… We've been through nothing," I rolled my eyes angrily.“This is unfair, Emma. You've been treating me like a piece of shit when I don't even deserve this from you—”"For a man who wants to marry to inherit a share of his grandfather's property, I think you should tell me the kind of treatment you really deserve,”Colors drained from his face. "Huh?”I chuckled softly. "What? Did you think I'm dumb and wouldn't catch on?" His lips parted and trembled, but no words came out.I sighed and stood up. “Eleanor is still a Whitcomb… and fortunately for you, she would give anything to be married to you. Why not mak

    Emma Whitcomb “You're crying,” My hand flew to my face, and I quickly wiped my tears with a light chuckle, “oh… sorry about that…” I paused, my eyes flicking back to the painting briefly, and as I turned back to face him, a small smile stretched round my lips, “the painting was too beautiful
