Emerald bit her lips. As memories of the past came flooding in."I only learned cooking when I was at your father's house," she said but left out the reason why she persevered in learning how to cook. She learned that Clayton loved home cooked food. Being a believer of the saying, "The nearest way to a man's heart is through his stomach." She had high hopes that cooking what he liked would eventually lead to capturing his heart. Perhaps, to some other men food was effective to get to their hearts but not Clayton. "Did you do that for rne?"The pain of being unscrupulously rejected by him was still too acute for her. It was territory he couldn’t yet traverse but Clayton couldn't hold back and asked anyway. "No, I did that for your father. I was grateful to him," Emerald tried to sound calm and composed but within the depths of her heart she was far from it.

Blood trickled down, staining the tiled floor. His executives exclaimed simultaneously in shock. "Mr Strong!" They were having meals celebrating after signing a billion dollar contract with the largest company in Norkle City. The jovial mood inside the room became bleak and gloomy. A doctor came a few minutes later. And immediately, tended his injury. His face was impassive, but something volatile was contained in the stillness. The executives dared not to make noises. "We're going back to Westfield tonight, get the plane ready," Clayton barked to his assistant after his hand was wrapped in a bandage. "But, we still have to meet the Hastings Inc. representative, tomorrow," Constantine said. "Let Maxwell do it," Clayton stood up, Constantine shook his head. Meanwhile, back at Westfield in Emerald's apartment. "Red, if you do that next time, I will throw you out of my apartment," Emerald was exasperated. What if Clayton misunderstood and thought that she and Red were doing some

Headache hammered Clayton's head as he woke up in the morning. He cradled his head while trying to remember why he ended up in his apartment. Last night he remembered that he came knocking on Emerald's door and hugged her when she opened the door. That was all he remembered as for the other things he did after that he had no memory of it. "I hope I didn't force myself on her," he murmured and realized he was still clad in his suit. This suggested that he didn't do anything to her. He sighed in relief. He had his shower and drove to his office after getting dressed."Helps with the hangover." Constantine placed a glass of water and a tablet on his table. "Thanks," Clayton murmured and took the tablet, put it in his mouth and grabbed the glass of water to drink. Constantine waited for him to finish before asking, "Did you apologize to the madam?" "How did you know I came to her apartment?" His brows lifted and furrowed, creating a crease on his forehead. "Madam, phoned me, usin

Shortly, Lizzy excused herself and went to the powder room. She found Emerald looking at her reflection in the mirror seemed lost and glum. Letting out a maniacal laugh made Emerald know she wasn't alone in the powder room. "Poor Emerald, whatever you do. You can't capture Clayton's attention, let alone his heart. You were given a chance to snatch his heart away from me but you failed. Stop dreaming!" With a faint smile Emerald fired back. "If you really had his heart, why aren't you married yet?" "Oh! I'm practically his wife and I don't care if the wedding comes later. As long as he satisfies me in bed, I wouldn't mind waiting." Wearing a triumphant look, Lizzy turned and went out of the powder room. ''Clayton is sleeping with Lizzy?'' Emerald blanched and her knees weakened, thankfully she managed to hold the sink and that stopped her from falling. ***"Sweetheart, are you alright?" Jim had looked for her in the powder room but she wasn't there and found her in the balcony. "

Now that she had disclosed everything that happened to her when she was missing, the heaviness in her heart was lifted. "I have promised mom that I will take care of you," Jim said while he stroked Emerald's hair. "You are the only cousin I have on mom's side. So, if that man bothers you again, don't hesitate to tell me." Jim's mother was the twin sister of Emerald's mom. His mom died five years after Emerald's mom died. "Don't worry, I won't allow him to hurt me again." Emerald peered outside the car pensively. "That's my girl," Jim ruffled her hair like a kid. Emerald held his arm and pushed it away. "Don't treat me like a girl!" "You'll always be my girl, sweetie!" He chuckled. "Anyway, we'll be flying tomorrow night to Frendelle, are you going with me?" Her team was going to fly for the race event in Frendelle."But of course, how will I miss this milestone in your life?" Jim was always by her side. Except for the two years she went missing as she didn't want him to find he

"So, what's your plan?" Emerald stared at Jim's face beaming with joy. "I'll go and see her and I'll come back in the weekend to watch you race," he had waited years for this moment to come and was afraid to miss the chance of meeting Caroline again.Totally understanding Jim's situation, Emerald had no reluctance on her part and gave her blessings. "No problem, you've waited for this to come and I don't want you to miss it. If you can't come back for the weekend because you needed more time with her, don't feel obligated to go to Frendelle." They parted ways in the airport. Emerald flew to Frendelle while Jim flew to Amerinia. ***"Ready?" Sean asked Emerald they've come to Frendelle for the scheduled practice. She nodded and put on her helmet. There were other 3 female F1 drivers aside from her and that elated Emerald. After the practice her team went to have lunch. Following lunch they went back to the hotel.Just as Emerald was about to take a nap, someone knocked on her doo

"Emerald!" Red called from behind but Emerald kept on walking with long and speedy steps. Honestly, it was all enough to make a woman want to scream and pull her hair out. Surely, most women did not have such issues with men. To her, men brought nothing but headache. Well, she was done with that, Emerald reminded herself grimly. Turning, Red looked for Clayton to confront him but he was nowhere to be found. "That sly fox might follow her to the hotel, I have to stop whatever his plans are," Red said under his breath. Just as he was going towards the car, someone grabbed his arm. He grimly looked at the person who held his arm. "Is there going on between Clayton and Emmy?" She couldn't believe that even Clayton fell in Emerald's trap. "Get lost!" He yelled, yanking his arm away. That question was rubbing salt in his wound. Betrayed. It's what he felt right now. How foolish he was for not seeing the signs. It was there all along. Clayton made a complete fool of him. At the sam

In quietness they ate their meals. But their hearts were far from quiet. Finished with his meal, Clayton stared at Emerald not averting his gaze from her even for a millisecond as though she would vanish any second if he did. Under his constant gaze, Emerald was absurdly aware of the sound of her breathing. Thinking all those days that Clayton humiliated her by taking Lizzy into their house and serving her and Clayton like she was a maid, Emerald steadied her pounding heart. "I am not a person who would look back," Emerald's words were like a cold water poured out on his head, shuddering as he listened to them. However, that didn't deter him from his purpose. Nothing can discourage him. Emerald for one year, actually two years, did all she could do to have his heart. It's now his turn to pursue her. And no matter how long it will take and whatever price he has to pay to have her heart back he was willing to do it. "Then, just forget the past and think that we have only met now,
