“W-who’s there?” I stuttered , wondering who was at the door.

My heart skipped a beat with every passing second. My anxiety heightened with every thought of being caught. The consequences of my actions came sooner than expected.

My mind was swamped with worst-case scenarios. What if it’s my father? Or my mother? Or Ethan? Or even Emilia? My heart panged with curiosity.

“You have to go hide in the bathroom”. I whispered to Ashley, my face stern.

“You want to make me a secret?” Her eyes narrowed as she asked.

“What? Are you insane? Is this the time for this” I queried with a firm whisper.

“Yes, I’m insanely in love with you Lucas”. She uttered, her voice trembling as she confessed.

“Love who? How? Listen to me this minute. Go into the bathroom, now”. I commanded, my voice sharp.

Ashley’s face contorted with a mix of sadness and anger. She picked up her lingerie hanging on the head of the bed and her panties from the top of the bed side drawer.

She stared back a

  • Entangled With My Soon-to-be Brother-in-law    Chapter 50: Emilia's POV

    Just as one would expect when getting to a bar to have some drinks at mid-day. The bar was quiet, with a few people having midday drinks. Solemn and calm instrumental music drifted softly from the speakers. I looked for an empty seat close to windows, just so I can be able to stare at the view whilst having some drinks. Just before I ordered a drink, I thought to send a text message to Jennifer, so she could at least know the latest updates with my stay at the Brooks’ franchise whenever she picks up my phone. A few seconds after I sent the text, her call came in. It felt like she had her phone close, longing to get a call or a text from me.“Emilia, are you okay? I just got your text”.“Where are you?”“I’m at the bar two streets away from the office. I answered, my voice low and calm”. “I’m so sorry Emilia”. “You know I…”“Yeah I know you warned me about my decision”. “I know”, I interrupted, cutting her words short.“Even at that, who would have thought I woul

    “I need to round off with this proposal”. “It’s been dragging for too long”. Back at my office, I sat at my desk, drafting a proposal for the Brooks franchise’s latest pitch. There was this contract I and a few other companies where competing for.So I was trying to take my time, ensuring every detail was perfect, with no error in sight as I was determined to impress. My fingers flying across the keyboard, my eyes scrolling through some samples. Just as I was done drafting, my phone vibrated. I made a quick glance at the screen, only to see a text message pop up.On my way to our usual spot. Brenda“Shiiitttt!” I exclaimed, my eyes lit up with shock. I had almost forgotten about my meeting with her.I’m sure Brenda will chew me out if I stood her up. I will get back to this. With a swift movement, I pushed my chair backwards, stood up and then closed my laptop. I grabbed my trench coat from the jacket hold

    “Never have I met any man so vile and full of himself”. I blurted out, my feet stomped the ground as I walked back to my office. I know Lucas to only skim at getting in between my pants, without stopping to think if I wanted it or not, even if he’s my husband-to-be. But Ethan? He frustrates me in ways unthinkable. My eyes were blinded with rage, as my legs quickened to my office, paying no attention to colleagues that peeped through their office doors, their eyes searching for gossip. My mind still in disbelief that Ethan laid me off just like that without flinching. Maybe working under Lucas would have been a better option, at least I won’t be laid off so soon. Because all I have been faced with since I started working as Ethan’s personal assistant as been nothing short of heart wrenching episodes of his meanness. I didn’t ask for so much. Did I?Just a day. One day! I didn’t mind working into the weekend just to cover up for my absence. He didn’t even giv

    “You came in so late last night, Ethan”.“What’s going on?” My mother asked, her brows narrowed in concern. “We barely see you around here”.“I’m a busy man, Mom”. “I have the Brook’s franchise and my company to manage at the same time”. “I can’t be found frolicking around”. I replied, adjusting my tie in front of the 7ft mirror hung on the wall in the waiting room. “Even at that, you need to take it easy”. “If I wasn’t seated here this early, I would probably not set my eyes on you until God knows when”. She uttered, her voice laced with concern. “Neither do you even wait to have breakfast before leaving”. “I usually have breakfast, Mom”. I defended, my expression blank as I adjusted my cufflinks. “But you are leaving now without having breakfast”. “Well, today’s a busy day at work” . “Emilia has been fired, so I have to double as the CEO and personal assistant, until I find a replacement”. I snapped, my anger settling in. My mother’s expression turned cu

    I met Emilia’s door slightly open, just as I strolled down the corridor, back at my father’s residence. As I peeped through, I saw her zipping down her strapless emerald green dress, that hugged her skin. I sneaked in quietly and shut the door behind me. Emilia jumped at the sound of the door slamming against the door frame, fear gripping her soul. “What do you want Lucas?” She asked, her eyebrows blinking rapidly with anxiety. I walked towards her slowly, my footsteps clicking the ground. “Where have you been the whole day?” I questioned, my voice deep and menacing. “Somewhere that’s none of your business?” She replied, her voice quivery, taking steps backwards as I moved closer. “Wowww, you have some guts you know”. I muttered, beating my palms together, my brows furrowed. “Don’t you think it’s about time we start planning our wedding?”Emilia bent slightly, her hands reaching for her bed side drawer. “Your health is better, what’s stopping us now, wifey?

    “Benjamin has been caught sir”. Martel informed, his voice stern. “How? Didn’t you just say he escaped?” I asked, my face etched with confusion. “After we caught his boy, I sent some of my men to go after him”. “I just got a text from them that they caught up with him, and your goods have been recovered”. “Yes!” I exclaimed, excitement twisting my intestines. “This is great news”. My worries faded away. It felt like a burden was lifted off my shoulders. I knew if this goods weren’t recovered, that would be my doom. The buyers already paid fifty percent and with Ethan being in charge of the company, I won’t be able to make a refund. “Untie him”. I ordered, a snarling smile worn on my face. “You’re very lucky my goods were recovered”. I said, pointing a finger at his face. “If not, you would have been gone next minute”. I hissed.Now let’s move on to taking Ethan down and claiming what’s rightfully mine. I muttered inwardly, a wicked smile spread across my face.
