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
Emily's POV;I came to Mr Hamilton's house after my classes got over. I saw Mr Hamilton talking with that guy who came looking for him days ago. While I was standing and thinking whether I should greet or ignore and head upstairs, That guy noticed me and called out my name."Emily!" I still stood thinking about what I should do now. Mr Hamilton nodded his head asking me to walk to them. After greeting them, I took a seat across from them. That guy said, "Looks like you forgot me already." I said, "You're the guy who came looking for Mr Hamilton.""Didn't he say my name?" "He did. But I forgot." "I'm Asher. You're husband's cousin."Mr Hamilton said to Asher, "Didn't I ask you to leave already? Why are you still here?" "Why are you chasing me away? I came to remind you about the gathering." He asked Mr Hamilton. I said, "Gathering…" "I said I'm not going." Mr Hamilton said. Did I interrupt them?"Sorry." I apologised and remained silent. Asher asked me, "Did he say about th
Emily's POV;"Vegetable salad is actually good for health and it'll taste good too. If you take one bite, you'll start liking it." Mr Hamilton said while sitting beside me at the dining table. "It's fine. I'll just stick with my pasta. And, I hate salad." And continued eating my pasta on my plate."Have you tried it before?""No.""How can you hate something which you didn't try?" When he tried to put some vegetable salad on my plate, I stood up from the table along with my plate and said, "I'm moving to another seat if you put it on my plate." He pulled my hand to make me sit and said, "I won't do it. Sit here."I placed my plate on the table and took a seat beside Mr Hamilton again and looked at him. He turned my face towards the food and said, "Aren't you in a hurry to your college? Eat."While I was eating, I noticed Mr Hamilton taking glances at my face."Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked while eating my pasta. "You look good today." I coughed up on my food whic
Emily's POV;While I was waiting at the entrance for Mr Hamilton's arrival, Sarah asked, "Why is he late today?"I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I don't know." And continued looking at the road."Did he tell you when he will be here?" "Yeah, he sent a message. He'll be here in Ten minutes." "Okay, then. I'll get going. Take care. See ya tomorrow." "Tomorrow's leave, baby.""Yeah, I forgot.

His class was the only class I'm interested in.""What about Mr Johnson?""Don't start with me.""What about Ms Louisa, Mr brown, Mr Garry…"Before she finished, I asked, "Didn't you say you were leaving? Why are you still here?"She pinched my ears while asking, "When did you start talking back to me? Is this because you got married? Do you think you're some matured woman?" "Ouch! Ouch! It hurts.""Say what you say when you beha
Emily's POV;I awoke in the middle of the night, not from a nightmare, but from my phone buzzing incessantly at my side on the bedside table. I groaned and took it away from the charger, only to see Asher's name on the screen. Asher? I realised it wasn't my phone that was vibrating, but Mr Hamilton's. Why is he calling now? is something wrong?When I tried to wake Mr Hamilton, who was sleeping soundly next to me with his arm protectively thrown over me, he only grunted softly in response, so I decided not to wake him up for this. Instead, I picked up the phone and answered the call. Before I could say hello, Asher began speaking quickly, not giving me time to respond. The urgency of the situation was heightened by the tone and volume of his voice. "I don't have time to explain it over the phone, so please come to my house immediately." Asher hung up without waiting for my response.Should I go ahead and tell Mr Hamilton? No, Mr Hamilton didn't sleep well last week due to a work issue,
