Emily's POV;When I opened my eyes, I was in Mr Hamilton's room. My head felt heavy. Wasn't I in college? How did I get here? As I looked around the room, I saw Mr. Hamilton sitting on the desk looking at his laptop. "Mr. Hamilton?" He got up from the table and walked over to me and asked, "Would you like some water?" I shook my head and asked, "What time is it?" "It's three o'clock." So it's still Friday. I tried to remember what happened in university. The Jacko lantern stage play with Luke. After that… C-Colton? How is he still alive? Is that even possible? Or was I imagining him since I was drunk? No, I bumped into him in the cafeteria that morning. Not an imagination. But how is he alive? Didn't he die?"Why are you sweating all of a sudden?" "I-I…"He held my cheek and asked, "Are you okay?" Who brought me here? Either Keith or… "How did I get here?" I asked. "Sarah called me and said you were drunk, so I picked you up at the university." At the University? Has Mr.
Emily's POV;I laid on the bed and covered the sheets over my head to go to sleep. I felt the bed shake a little when Mr Hamilton laid beside me. I heard his breathing slow down as well, signalling he was asleep. I lay there in silence for awhile before getting up. I walked over to the window, where I leaned against it looking out at nothing. The night sky was black as pitch but bright moonlight illuminated everything around me. A slight breeze blew past me and my hair moved slightly with it. I closed my eyes, feeling myself start to drift off. Mr Hamilton was being nice to me even though we didn't talked that much. But i was rude to him today by reminding the contract and blabbering about a job. He didn't talk to me after i said that. Did i make him upset? Why does this bother me so much? It doesn't matter. Mr Hamilton is just a guy with whom i have to be with another two years. After two years, we'll go in our seperate ways. Maybe i can meet people who will like me more than h
Emily's POV;I was woken up by the alarm sound from my phone. After turning it off, I looked beside me, Mr Hamilton wasn't there like always. I don't know why but i wanted to see Mr Hamilton by my side when i woke up someday. Waking up to the empty bed kinda feels kinda lonely. After tying up my hair high, I got up from the bed to take a shower. When I came out, Mary kept the milk on the table. (Mary - one of the maids who work in Mr Hamilton's house during the weekends)I asked Mary, "Did Mr Hamilton leave for work?" "No, mam.""Where is he then?""I saw him working in his office when I went to give him coffee.""Did he eat breakfast?" I asked while drying my hair."No, mam.""Thank you. You can leave now."After she left, I walked to the window and saw the garden where the workers were clearing up the dried leaves. Some were removing the weeds and some were planting new plants. Among the workers, I spotted Henry. He was saying something to the workers. After drinking my milk, I
Emily's POV; "Why do you like ice cream that much?" Mr Hamilton asked while I was eating the ice cream in the car while we're on the way to the house after spending time on the beach. "Because it tastes so good." And continued licking the ice cream in my hand. "It makes you fat." "I don't mind getting fat if it's because of ice cream. Because I love it." "I wonder what you don't like. You eat almost everything and say you love it and it's your favourite." "To be honest, I started eating when I got in a bad mood but later I got used to it and couldn't get out of it." He patted my head and said, "I was just teasing you. I didn't know."I stopped functioning for a while and thought, 'Did he just pat my head? Why did he do that?' After that, I remained silent till we reached the house. I got out of the car and walked to the house. It looked like every maid and butler left the house. I went straight to the room because my clothes were a little bit wet and had sand in it. I got a s
Emily's POV; I came to Mr Hamilton's house and rushed to the room. I dropped on the bed and started crying. I thought everything was over when I stepped out of the orphanage but it turned out just worse when Colton came back alive. I don't want Mr Hamilton to know about my past. I don't want to ruin the life I'm having now. even if it's for two years. Why does my life is so fucked up? I stuffed my face into the pillow and cried like a baby. When I heard someone knocking on the door, I wiped away the tears and got up. I didn't know who it could be but I hoped it wasn't Mr Hamilton. But I was wrong. It was Mr Hamilton who was standing in front of me. What is he doing here? He's supposed to be in his office, right?"Mr Hamilton?"He touched my skin under the eye and asked while caressing it, "Did you cry?" His voice sounded concerned."No." I lied. I hated lying to him. It felt disgusting. He took the tissue in front of him and dabbed it around while saying, "What happened? Did you fi
Emily's POV;Henry, "Mr Hamilton will get mad at me, please eat, mam.""he said he'll come for lunch. I'm going to wait for him.""mam...""Sorry for being late." I saw Mr Hamilton entering the house and walked to the dining table. He sat across from me and asked, "Henry, what's for lunch?" I started eating after the food was served. While I was eating, I noticed blood on Mr Hamilton's knuckles. "What happened to your hand, Mr Hamilton?" "what?" he looked at his hand and said, "It's... it was nothing." he picked up a spoon and ate some of the soup that came with the sandwich.I watched as he continued to eat without any more hesitation or care about the blood.As soon as we finished eating, I told him to sit down, I would help clean the blood off his hands. I cleaned the blood off his hands and handed him a bandage to wrap around it.Mr Hamilton looked at it with an inquisitive gaze before putting it in his pocket. He then looked back at me and smiled softly. He stood from his
Emily's POV;George Hamilton's POV;"I'm sorry, it was a mistake. Please let me go." The man cried out while getting beaten by my guys in front of me. He looks so young, no older than 20, maybe 19 years old, and I don't feel good about letting him just go like that. I turn around to look at the people who were also behind me. I signalled them to let him go. "Sir?" One of them asked me with a frown on his face. "You heard what I said, asshole." I replied back. They nodded their heads.One of them walks up to the guy, grabs him by the collar, and lifts him off the ground, and takes him away. Asher took a seat beside me and asked, "Who's that guy?" as he looked at the guy who was being dragged away. "I don't know.""Then why is he getting beaten like that?" "He bumped into my car.""What? I don't believe this. I know you don't care about your car that much. Tell me, what really happened?""Emily got hit in the head because of it."Asher raised an eyebrow at my reply and asked, "Are
Emily's POV;After college ended,Madison asked me while we're walking to the exit together, "Did you finally get the person you're looking for these days?""What?""Lately, you've been looking for someone on campus but you didn't do it today. Did you find that person now?" I let out a sigh and asked, "Have you packed for the study trip?" "Why are you changing the topic? Who were you looking for?""I didn't look for anyone."She gave a nod and said, "I thought we didn't have any secrets between us.""Yes, there wasn't any. Moreover, you know how I'm bad at keeping secrets." "Keith's here. See ya tomorrow." I walked to the car, got in and waved at Madison. 'I'm sorry but I can't tell you about Colton.'While we're in the car, I asked Keith, "Keith, Have you started looking for kids?" "We're still preparing a room for a kid so till that we put that on hold for now.""Glad to hear about that." "Can I ask something?" "Yeah.""Why did you marry Mr Hamilton?""Why are you asking me li
