Chapter eight

Seth

A week to the marriage.

Days passed like a slow drumbeat, each one bringing me closer to the court wedding with Emily.

One week remained before the legally binding union, and the hospitals were set to merge shortly after.

 We had agreed—just a court marriage, no pomp, no ceremony—and everyone had reluctantly accepted it.

The elders were appeased, the board was placated, but yet, something about the situation gnawed at

    Chapter TenEmilyAs soon as he walked out of my office, Xena entered, staring questionably at me.“What?” I asked while at the same time trying to hide the smile that was threatening to escape my lips.“Tell me…how did it go?” Anyone who walked into my office would think Xena was nothing more than my secretary.They'd be wrong.Outside these walls, she was my best friend, my favorite gossip partner, and the only person who knew exactly how my mind worked.She also knew when to joke... and when to work.We are literally gossip partners, gist partners, best of friends. Name them all.She also knows when it's work and play moments.“He came asking if we could be together again and he said he was sorry. Can you imagine that?” I said finally letting out that sneaky smile.For like ten seconds, no words were being passed between us, we were just smiling at each other and then suddenly burst out laughing. “What! No way!” Xena said amidst laughter. Holding her stomach. “Well, yes way” I s

    Chapter Nine Emily Never in my life have I thought that I'll be needing help from Seth. Being someone that has carried responsibilities bigger than her right from a young age, to be the one constantly reminded that she has a whole lot of work to do as the pride of her parents. So having someone care for me apart from my grandma is a new thing to me. Don't get me wrong, of course I still don't feel good about that man. Just sometimes he makes me feel like I'm not alone…something I never got to experience all the years I was with Tristan. F^ck!! Why the h*ll will you be comparing them Emily!. Just the way Seth stares at me scares me but at the same time makes me jittery. His eyes are commanding yet so soft. He looks and behaves calm but carries this huge aura together with the way he walks. He is handsome, that I can't deny. Wait..Emily what has gotten over you?? Maybe it's the womanly hormones acting, that I'm very sure. It's been two days since the meeting with Seth at

If she doesn’t follow instructions, she’ll regret it. Watch closely.”The sender was unk

    Chapter sevenEmily“Yes. I’m enjoying this. A whole lot” those were the words I kept remembering after he had left.He is so unfair. With his hands in his suit pockets, I had watched him walk out of the hall leaving me behind.I relaxed on my chair and cried. My tears flowed freely. ‘Why dad? Why him? Why didn't you inform me first? Who still does this in this 21 century?’ Still in the conference hall. I had already stopped crying and just sat there still deep in thoughts.Xena came in after five minutes. “Boss, are you okay?” She asked with her soft small voice.“Hmmm” I gave a single nod“How did the meeting go?” “Don't wanna talk about it” “Okay,” she nodded repeatedly to herself.I stood up and walked out of the hall. Xena gathered my belongings and trailed after me.“Take me home. I'm not mentally stable to be here right now. And I really

    Chapter sixSethThe room didn't settle after the announcement.It erupted. Conversations erupted in hushed voices. Chairs scraped against the polished floor as directors exchanged uneasy glances, some whispering among themselves, others pretending not to.I remained where I was.Still.Across the table, Emily couldn't say the same.She hadn't moved, yet the file in front of her trembled ever so slightly beneath her fingertips. She lowered her gaze for a brief moment before looking back at the lawyer."...I would advise that you end your relationship," the lawyer said carefully.Advice?Interesting.Emily's brows drew together."This doesn't seem right."Her voice was calm, but there was a tightness beneath it.The kind people carried when they were trying very hard not to lose control.She swallowed once before asking,"Is there anything else I should know?"The lawyer shook his head."Nothing else."Silence stretched between them.Emily slowly rose from her chair."I'll take my lea

    CHAPTER FIVESethPacking had never felt this unnecessary.I moved around the hotel room in silence, folding clothes with mechanical precision. My mind wasn’t here.It hadn’t been for a while.The outreach was supposed to end in four days.Now I was leaving early.I didn’t like unfinished things.Especially not when I wasn’t given a reason.I slipped on a brown hoodie, grabbed my phone and wallet, and stepped out.The team was already waiting in the lobby.Seven of them.Tired.Focused.Disciplined.Good.The faint mix of coffee and antiseptic hung in the air.Familiar.Reliable.“You all know the work doesn’t stop because I’m leaving,” I said, my voice steady.Their eyes locked onto mine immediately.“No slacking. If I hear otherwise, there will be consequences.”“Yes, sir,” they responded in unison.I held their gaze a second longer.Then nodded once and walked out.The drive to the airport was quiet.Too quiet.My thoughts filled the space instead.The outreach.The sudden meeting.
