CHAPTER 56

Emily

We stopped in front of a large building with a green flashy light showcasing "VERDANT." in block letters.

"Why are we stopping?" I frowned. "I thought the meeting was at Coral?"

"You said you were starving."

"You should have taken that as a hint to cook chicken pasta for me then," I sulked.

His mouth tipped in a proud smirk, his eyes twinkling with pride.

"So you liked it?"

"I never said I hated it."

He shook his head and turned to Sam.

"Drive around, Sam. We'll be out in thirty minutes."

"Okay, Sir."

We got out of the car, and Sam drove off.

"If you keep staring around like that, your eyes will fall off."

"Sebastian, I want to eat at home where there aren't people and pricey food. Let's just go to the meeting before we'll be late."

After our call Sebastian stopped by the boutique, surprising me by asking me out to dinner, then spoiling it by adding that we were going to meet with a client. Celine noticed my disappointment and said I should go anyway when I sta

  • Something In Between Love    A Fair Game

    CHAPTER 70Michael I came out of the bathroom; Vanessa was sprawled on the bed, her black locks barely covering her bare breasts, and only the sheets bunched around her porcelain torso covered her nakedness. She gracefully sipped her wine and scrolled through her phone. "What did I say about phones?" I snatched the phone from her and threw it on the floor. "Michael, what the heck?!" she sprinted towards the phone and picked it up. "Do you know how much this cost?" "A thousand men?" I scoffed. "With you included, you bastard," she retorts.She sat back on the bed. I laid beside her in my briefs, my hand behind my head as I lay in wait for the fall of the great Sebastian Crest. The whole city will be in uproar at the news. How did I find out about their marriage? Oh, I simply beat it out of Mr. Kudi, the indignant old man had no choice but to spill his guts to me. How dare Uncle Robert do this to me? All he gave me was the branch in Canada and San Francisco–when it was mine, to

    CHAPTER 69Sebastian "Sebastian you have to see this," Theo said with a somber expression as he handed me his tablet."She's truly back in the country," I mumbled; as I stared at the picture of Vanessa driving into the mansion. "How did she get in? How is it even possible she still has access to the mansion? We've changed the security since Father died," I replied with a frown. "Who else do you think will give her access?" Theo raised a knowing brow. Then he handed me some documents. "These are some of the call logs we tracked from who she could have been in contact with since she got into the country," Theo explained, "and the first was…” "Michael," I mutter. Dread spread in my gut. "Bingo." Theo snapped his fingers.I shut my eyes and rubbed my temples in frustration."What are those two up to?" "You think they're still together?” Theo asked. I scoffed, "Absolutely, they might want to catch up in their old ways.” I sat behind my desk. "There's something else,” Theo said

    CHAPTER 68Emily My heart stopped at his words, I reached for the covers and clutched them to my naked chest. A chill suddenly ran down my spine. Was he sure? How do I know he's telling the truth and won't later clam up on me? Did we move too fast?"Hey, listen to me,” he held me by the cheek, holding my gaze. “Stop thinking too much about this, you have absolutely every reason to doubt what I just said, but I promise to spend every waking day proving my love to you. After all, I've wasted too much time," he said with an assuring smile, his eyes brighter than the customary gloom they seem to always hold. He kissed my palm while holding my gaze with affection I had never seen before. “Sebastian…” I tried to speak but tears clogged my throat. "You don't have to speak; I’m sure that I'm irrevocably in love with you, and everything about you endears me." "But, I… we married because…" "This is it, Emily; I want you with me for as long as I can have you as my wife. This is a decision.

  • Something In Between Love    To Love

    CHAPTER 67EmilyWe said nothing, only our harsh breathing filled the room. His touch on my skin could be likened to hot steam escaping from a boiling pot and burning your fingers. That kind of pain is a slow burn that sears to your skin and travels to your brain. I shivered when his surprisingly soft fingers ventured into my shirt and rested on my bare stomach. There was no doubt that everywhere in our body moved in sync, our hands knew the right places to touch. I had never experienced such blissfulness. But when his hand tried to undo my belt, reality hit me, I quickly came back to my senses. I instinctively shoved him away."Emily," he groaned in frustration, "You better have a good explanation for this," his eyes hazed with love. "Since when did you start to have feelings for me?" I asked, I had to know to set things straight before we share our bodies. There's nothing as sacred as intimacy between husband and wife in a marriage, I had to know where he stands. “Does it matter

  • Something In Between Love    To Feel

    CHAPTER 66Emily When I opened my eyes, the only sound in the room was the steady beep, beep, beep of the machine, and the sound of my own breathing.My head was pounding as though a bullfight was going on inside it; my throat was dry like sandpaper, and I felt extremely thirsty. I could chug a whole gallon of water. “Em… Emily, are you awake? Can you see me… do you remember who I am?” a blurry face asked.I turned to look at Emma, who stood beside Beth and Richie, all of them wearing somber expressions.“Where’s Sebastian? I could swear he was just together,” I mumbled.Emma rolled her eyes. “Well, this is offensive; the first thing you do is ask for your arrogant husband when your sister and best friends are right in front of you.” Emma bit out harshly. It was her language of how much she cared, so I ignored her. “How could you get yourself into an accident, Emily Asher? Do you plan on giving me a heart attack?” Beth scolds. “Stop yelling at a sick patient,” I groaned “and I'm

    CHAPTER 65Sebastian It wasn’t until a soft breeze blew around me that I woke up. I tried to move, but a sharp pain shot through my shoulder and neck. It was like someone was using a knife to tear through my skin. I shut my eyes, trying to swallow the pain, pushing away the flash of memories that rushed through my mind of the crash. I was terrified to open my eyes and face reality.I couldn’t bear the thought of having killed someone again.I reached my hand toward Emily’s seat, but the pain in my shoulder was unbearable, I couldn’t get any closer."Em—Emily," I called out in a shaky voice. Then I felt her finger, I quickly reached for it. But It was wet. I drew my hand back and raised it to my face to examine it. It was Blood.My heart rate sped up. No, no, no this can't be happening, not again! "Emily come on!" I fumbled to remove my seatbelt and tried to move closer. Everything around us was dark and quiet. The car was upside down and smoky. I was alone with an unconscious wife
