He was the embodiment of her desires, a dream man who had captured her heart at first glance. From the moment Trevor entered her life, Emma knew he was the one for her. For five years, she had been exclusively committed to him, never once questioning his love until her entire world came crumbling before her eyes. Emma realized that his love for her had all been an elaborate deception. His words, his actions, his smiles, his compliments, they were all carefully constructed web of lies. "I can't continue like this," Trevor's words resounded in the room, causing Emma's stomach to twist in knots of tension. Fear gripped her heart, crawling up her throat and threatening to escape in a scream of despair. "I never loved you." With one sentence, Trevor shattered Emma's heart into a million pieces without remorse. Her cries and pleas for a chance for them to salvage their five-year relationship and fairy tale ending fell upon deaf ears. As she realized she had been cheated on for five years, Emma became the outcast in her own story. Determined to make Trevor pay for his betrayal and beg for her mercy, Emma went after the most important person in Trevor's life. The moment her eyes locked with Mr. Ethan Maddox, Trevor's billionaire father, at a get-together party, Emma knew her revenge would be both delicious and swift. Not only would she bring down Trevor, but she would also topple his powerful father from his pedestal.
View MoreEmma Callum found herself in her expansive bedroom, fully aware that the time had come for her most significant era. It was a moment she had always dreaded, as it held the power to mold her future and dreams of a future with her fiancée seemingly crumbling before her eyes.
Never in her twenty-five years on earth had she faced this intense fear and trepidation. The sense of unease while awaiting the final outcome of Trevor Maddox decision caused her heart to race, her blood to run cold as she locked eyes with her partner of five years.From the instant, she laid eyes on Trevor half a decade ago at a dinner party, Emma had plunged headlong into love. What made it extraordinary was that the affection was mutual from the onset. It seemed like destiny had orchestrated their fateful encounter, both experiencing love at first sight. A love she thought they had both nature and cherish together and ready to fight for.As the saying goes, "When you meet the right person, you just know." Emma could confidently proclaim five years ago that she had found her soulmate. Right now, in this now unfamiliar and chilling atmosphere surrounding her beloved bedroom, doubts started to creep in. Had she truly made the right choice? or was it all a result of champagne, passion, and their initial intimate liaison that had clouded her judgment?Their first meeting which took place at a social event where Emma had captivated attention, most especially his attention throughout the night, dressed in a stunning red silk gown with a high slit, exposing her perfect straight, slim legs, the dress hugged and accentuated her figure, paired with silver heels, her graceful walking, aura and smiles, caught the attention of majority of the male guests, ogling at her with hunger and lust.Her bouncy curl hair was elegantly styled, and she felt radiant, confident in herself as she mingled with the guests. Trevor's arrival caused an instant surge of vitality within her the moment she saw him walk into the hall with two men. His charming smile, showcasing his immaculate teeth and luscious full lips, sent a thrill through Emma. As he approached, casually sipping his champagne, his alluring cologne enveloped her in a sensory embrace even before he reached her side.His scent, a blend of citrus and sandalwood, was refreshing like a breeze, exuding masculinity that Emma found irresistible. Close to him, she knew that his touch would set her ablaze, igniting a fiery passion within her."Hello, beautiful lady. How do you find the atmosphere at the gathering? Trevor's expression softened as he admired Emma's graceful form, the snug crimson dress enhancing her contours flawlessly. Giving her his signature smile, he was sure he would have her panties wet, Trevor's captivating, dark, and dangerous eyes with a mischievous glint in it rake over her deliciously with no atom of shame, clearly letting her know he appreciated and admire what he's seeing.Emma, sensing Trevor's gaze upon her, cleared her throat gently, aware of the attention she had gotten from one of the most attractive men in the room. She could not help but notice the subtle sneer and hush whispers from other women as they watched trevor looking at her with absolute admiration and adoration.Being noticed by Trevor Maddox himself was one thing, but being approached by him and engaging in conversation was a different scenario altogether. "I am indeed. What about you?" She responded, mirroring his smile with a blend of allure and sophistication, as she sip her champagne elegantly, not breaking eye contact either him.During their conversations, Emma felt a surge of confidence washing over her. Was it the influence of alcohol or simply her growing comfort in Trevor's presence, as his words caressed her like honey and his hearty laughter stirred a swarm of butterflies in her stomach or was it the fact that she just realized that he was the only son and heir to the Maddox empire? that he's the country's most eligible billionaire bachelor?She chuckled at his remarks, purposely making contact as she spoke, exchanging a glance with subtle nuances only discernible to Trevor. "Would you fancy a dance?" Trevor inquired, placing his glass on a server's tray passing by and extending his hand towards her.Emma accepted, letting him guide her to the dance floor. Moving in synchrony, Trevor closed his eyes momentarily, breathing in her alluring scent - a fusion of vanilla and floral musk that enraptured him. Bringing her closer, he savored the tender sensation of her body against his own, the softness of her skin. It felt like satin, like butter being smeared onto a smooth surface.The moment he had stood at the far end corner of the hall, his eyes were glued to Emma, there was something about her that caught his attention, he chuckle at her slight uneasiness, suggesting to himself that it was her first time being in a sophisticated party as this, as the evening progress, the urge to talk to her, dance with her, overwhelmed Trevor, he could see other men at the party ogling at her, Trevor knew if he didn't make the first move, someone else would beat him to it.The night seemed enchanted, as if their togetherness was predestined, a perfect match. For half a decade, Trevor had showered Emma with a love she had never imagined receiving from anyone else. He treated her like royalty, cherished and adored. He stood by her as a steadfast support, her rock. However, now, Emma felt cracks emerging in their foundation, fracturing at an alarming pace. A chill ran down her spine, her blood turning cold.She had observed the warnings some months earlier but opted to overlook them. She understood the burden Trevor had to carry on his shoulder, being the only son of the richest man in the country was no joke, she had met his father once and never had the chance again, but from the way his father speaks on the phone, Emma knew that Trevor's father was a ' No nonsense man' and he had to prove to his billionaire father that he has what it takes to inherit the empire.Their demanding professional lives had engulfed them. On the other hand, Emma strived to meet her boss's expectations while her relationship slowly deteriorated. Her partner became distant, seemingly indifferent to her feelings and worries.He no longer comforted her during her breakdowns, failing to send encouraging messages, leaving her feeling isolated and hollow.The house felt desolate and chilly whenever he messaged her about returning home late, advising her not to wait up for him.Emma knew something was wrong, she could feel it in the deepest part of her heart, she wholeheartedly love Trevor, he has been the only man who had swept her off her feet, the best man she had ever dated.Pushing aside the thought of her ex, her mind wandered back to Trevor, Emma felt bad she had allowed her job to take over her attention from Trevor, and finally realized that their relationship was sinking fast.Emma clenched her hands in her lap, her knuckles white. She glanced at Lucas, who gave her a reassuring nod. "You can do this," he mouthed.After what felt like an eternity, it was time for the verdict. The judge's voice was firm, unyielding. "Mario Rodriguez, you are sentenced to a total of fifty years in prison for the rape of Kathy Callum, for human trafficking, drug trafficking, money laundering, and aiding murders. You will be eligible for parole after twenty five years."The courtroom buzzed with murmurs, but Emma barely heard them. She was focused on the look of shock and fury on Mr. Mario's face as he was led away in handcuffs. It was over. Truly over.Tears welled in her eyes, but this time they were tears of relief. Lucas squeezed her hand, and she turned to him, a tentative smile breaking through. "It's finally over," she whispered, her voice thick with emotion.He nodded, pulling her into a hug. "You were amazing," he said softly. "So strong."Emma leaned into him, feeling
Emma felt the warm trickle of blood running down the side of her face where the gun had struck her. The metallic scent filled her nostrils as she looked up at Mr. Mario. His grip on her face was ironclad, his face mere inches from hers. His breath was hot and reeked of cigarettes as he hissed, “Don’t make me kill you, Emma. Don’t tempt me.”His voice was low and menacing, and Emma could feel the vibration of his words against her skin. She knew she was probably making the worst decision of her life, but it was the only thing she could think of. With a sudden, desperate resolve, she lunged forward and sank her teeth into his nose. She bit down hard, the taste of blood flooding her mouth, and pulled with all her might until she felt the flesh tear awayMr. Mario’s scream pierced the air, raw and filled with agony. Emma could see the shock and pain in his eyes as he clutched his nose, blood streaming through his fingers. Seizing the moment, Emma summoned every ounce of strength and let o
Emma slowly sat back down in a chair. She took a deep breath and opened the file. Inside, she found a set of documents. As she scanned the pages, her eyes landed on the title: "Dissolution of Betrothal Contract." Her heart pounded as she saw Morgan’s signature at the bottom.Her mind reeled. Why had Morgan changed her mind? What had prompted this sudden shift? Emma leaned back, staring at the papers, her thoughts a whirlwind of confusion and curiosity. But her relief was unmistakable."What had changed her mind?" Emma whispered to herself, the question lingering as she stepped out of the courtroom.**One month later**Emma stepped out of the hospital with Tina, who had just finished her antenatal check-up. The setting evening sun glinted off the hospital’s glass facade, casting long shadows on the pavement.Emma got into the driver’s seat and started the engine. “Feeling okay?” she asked as she navigated the car through the parking lot.Tina chuckled, resting a hand on her baby bump.
His lips curled into a sneer. "I'm going to win my case tomorrow. And when I get out, Emma, I'll make sure you pay. I'll kill you, and before that, I'll have my way with you. Brutally. You'll regret everything. You should have stopped when you had the chance."Emma's smile didn't waver, but inside, a shiver ran down her spine. She steadied herself, refusing to let him see any weakness. She knew the case was too good for him to win it. "We'll see about that, Ethan Maddox. How pitiful it is, the once powerful Maddox, stuck in a jail cell." She stood up, adjusting her coat with deliberate grace.As the guards moved to take him away, Ethan's expression shifted, a malicious glint in his eye. "Watch your back, Emma. Mario is still out there, and he's planning something big."Emma paused, her heart skipping a beat, but she didn't turn around. She walked out of the room, the echo of Ethan's words trailing after her.With Mario still roaming out there, she knew everything was truly far from ov
"Cookies or a sandwich?" Emma asked.Tina picked cookies without hesitation. Emma retrieved a pack from the pantry and placed a few on a plate, setting it on the counter next to where they would soon sit with their hot drinks.The kettle began to whistle, steam escaping from its spout as Emma poured the hot water into two waiting mugs filled with cocoa mix. The rich aroma of chocolate filled the air.They sat down at the kitchen table, the silence heavy between them as they sipped their drinks. The warmth of the hot chocolate seeped through Emma's fingers, temporarily soothing her senses.After they finished their drinks and Tina left, Emma returned to the living room. The fatigue of the day washed over her, and she settled onto the couch, her thoughts wandering to Lucas.Hours later, the sound of the front door opening roused Emma from her doze. She blinked sleepily, glancing at the clock—it was a little past seven. Lucas entered the room.He settled beside her on the couch, leaning o
The lady sighed deeply, her shoulders slumping as she collapsed onto the edge of the bed. "Maybe you weren't convincing enough," she suggested. "You should have worn the other more revealing red dress. And maybe you sounded pushy..."Her words faded into the background as Morgan's anger reached a boiling point. With a sudden, ferocious movement, she stood up and crossed the room in two quick strides. Grabbing the lady by the front of her shirt, she lifted her off the bed and slammed her against the nearby wall. The impact sent a dull thud through the room."If you want to pass blame on me for your stupid plans not working," Morgan hissed through gritted teeth, her face inches from the lady's, "you're not going to like how it ends for you."The lady's eyes widened in shock and fear. Her breath came in shallow, rapid bursts. As Morgan's grip tightened momentarily before letting go, the lady slid down the wall, her legs weak beneath her. She straightened herself slowly, smoothing out her
