Chapter 4

Emily turned and tossed on the bed uncomfortably. No doubt, this bed is huge and soft, way better than the one she normally sleeps in, but she couldn't sleep.

This is her wedding night for heaven's sake, and she couldn't sleep a wink, definitely because she is in a foreign place.

Emily stood up from the bed and walked out of her room. She decided to get a glass of water. Maybe it would help her sleep.

As she made her way downstairs, she looked around for anyone. She didn't want to get scared when she saw someone but she saw no one and made her way to the kitchen.

Emily took the glass of water and gulped the content, her eyes roamed through the neatly arranged and organized kitchen.

She is sure as hell Caden doesn't have a hand in this amazing design. He doesn't look like the type.

Emily dropped the glass neatly and turned to leave, but she bumped into someone, and she screamed. Caden, who was taken by surprise, quickly covers her mouth to stop the noise.

"Are you out of your mind?" He asked with a frown, slowly removing his hand from her mouth since she was humming inaudibly.

"You scared the shît out of me, and you expect me not to scream?" Emily retorted angrily. "How did you walk without making a noise?" Emily added, her hand on her chest as she tried to calm her rapidly racing heart.

"Why are you here by this time? It's 2am?" Caden ignored her question.

"I didn't know I was supposed to tell you about everything I do," Emily rolled her eyes.

"Just because you can't sleep doesn't mean you'll roam around in the middle of the night, if you need a tour, tell Luis to show you around in the daytime," Caden said and walked past Emily to get something from the freezer.

"Can you be any less of an àsshole?" Emily scoffed before walking to her room while Caden took a bottle of coke, gulping the content.

This is his normal routine every night since he couldn't sleep.

{NEXT DAY~CADEN'S OFFICE, 8AM}

Caden walked into his office and sat down on the chair tiredly, unlike other days he didn't sleep at all throughout the night.

Normally he would sleep for at least an hour or two but last night was especially dreadful, he didn't even see Emily this morning, she didn't have breakfast before leaving because Luis told him she left very early and she seemed like she was in a hurry.

Not like he cared, Luis decided to feed him the information without him asking.

George entered Caden's office with a smile. "Everything is in place, and arrangements have been made. Your father is gonna be so mad!" George chuckled. "You look tired, didn't you sleep?" George asked worriedly.

"Nah... I'm fine. Heard from Anna?" Caden asked.

"Nope, she has been busy," George replied. "Why are you suddenly asking about Anna? You're not adding my girlfriend to your whóre list. You are married now, and that reminds me, it's just a day after your wedding and you're at work, no honeymoon?" George asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Emily would rather stàb herself in the throat than go on a honeymoon with me," Caden scoffed, and George smirked

"Really? So there's a girl in New York who isn't interested in getting Caden Kingston's dick?" George asked, and Caden glared at him.

"Aren't you supposed to be working?" Caden asked with a frown.

"I can't wait to see your new wife Cade." George concluded before leaving Caden's office, and Caden rolled his eyes.

{HALTER'S MEDIA}

Madison and Emily walked out of their boss's office and made their way to Emily's work space.

Emily sat on her chair while Madison sat on Emily's desk. "Zoey is in for a lot this evening, and her movie premiere is coming out tomorrow," Madison sighed.

"She knew what she was getting into when she decided to become a stripper in a nightclub," Emily replied.

"Makes me wonder how much actresses get paid, I guess it's not that much," Madison replied.

"I don't really know. Why are you on my desk? Don't you have other things to do, we still have Nathan Pierce to dig into, " Emily said, and Madison grumbled.

"I hate Nathan, he is so annoying, we haven't gotten anything interesting out of him for the past 3 months now," Madison frowned.

"You can go grumble about Nathan on your desk, now get away from me, I really miss Felicia," Emily said.

"Well... Felicia isn't here, and you're stuck with me, so deal with it, Mrs. Stone!" Madison retorted and came down from Emily's desk.

[5PM]

Emily was already getting ready to leave, she is done for the day and can't wait to get back home but her excitement flushed down the toilet when she realized she was going to Caden's house because she is unfortunately a married woman now.

"Damnit," she groaned as she packed her things into her purse.

"Emily!" Madison called as she walked up to her. "You know you're my favorite colleague here, right?" Madison smiled.

"What do you want?" Emily asked immediately, and Madison sighed.

"Can you drop me off?" Madison asked.

"We aren't even friends Madison, you're only clinging to me because Felicia isn't here," Emily replied.

"Well... Yeah... Obviously, but we aren't enemies either, so can you help me? " Madison asked with a sweet smile.

"Alright, let's go," Emily replied, and Madison leaped for joy.

They got to the parking lot with Madison talking about Felicia vacation and all. She wouldn't stop talking as Emily drove to her place.

"We are here" Emily cut through Madison's talk about how much she dislikes a colleague of theirs, Madison is a gossip queen, she knows everything about everyone in the company and that's precisely the reason why Emily never got close to her.

"Thank you, Ems, you're the best!" Madison exclaimed before getting down from the car.

"You're welcome," Emily replied and drove off.

When Emily got back, she was welcomed by Luis. "Would you like me to give you a tour around the house?" He asked her, and she stopped in her tracks.

"I would love that but not today, thank you, Luis," Emily replied with a smile before going to her room.

She took a shower and changed into something comfortable. Emily walked downstairs to cook something to eat. She didn't know if Caden had any maids because she had never seen any of them, just Luis, his butler.

She won't be surprised if his parents stop him from having maids because she is sure he would stick his diçk in all of them.

When Emily got to the kitchen, she searched for groceries so she would make something when Luis appeared before her.

"What can I help you with?" He asked, and Emily blinked.

"I'm just hungry, and I want to make something to eat," Emily replied with an awkward smile.

"Ohh, then let me handle that," Luis offered.

"No, don't worry, I can do it myself," Emily dismissed. "I would call you when I need you," she added.

"Alright," Luis stepped back and left the kitchen.

Emily only knows how to make pasta. She isn't the cooking type, she hardly enters the kitchen in her parent's house, their maid, Loretta does everything.

So Emily made pasta, since it was fast and easy to cook, she thought about leaving some for Caden but she had a feeling he wouldn't want to eat her food but she kept it anyway because she was a nice person.

Emily ate her food and cleared the table. She washed the dirty dishes and walked into the living room.

She sat on the couch and took her phone. The news on Zoey Sanders has already made its way all over New York, and her new movie premiere has been postponed till further notice.

It wasn't surprising because the lead actress in that movie has been uncovered as a stripper for a night club, quite the big scandal for an actress.

Emily felt bad for Zoey in a way, but that's her job. If Zoey didn't want things to go like this, then she shouldn't have done what she did.

Emily was still on her phone when Caden walked in. She looked up at him, and he stared back at her.

Emily's hair was in a messy bun, and she was wearing slacks and a huge shirt.

Emily noticed Caden's stare, and she looked down at her clothes. She wondered what was wrong. He didn't expect her to dress over the moon when she's at home.

"Is something on my face?" Emily asked.

"I'm just surprised you're here, I expect you to lock yourself up in your room," Caden replied.

"I won't leave like a prisoner in my husband's house, I am also surprised you came back by this time, I expect you to be in a hotel somewhere" Emily retorted and Caden frowned.

He felt offended by Emily's statement.

"I am a lot of things Emily but not a cheater," Caden said before walking to his room.

The statement gave Emily some kind of warmth. At least her husband won't cheat on her, but she noticed the anger in his voice.

Was what she said offensive? He couldn't blame her, though. Everyone knows Caden's reputation.

_

Emily stood in front of the door with a confused face. She didn't know whether to knock on the door or just walk away.

She raised her hand to knock but retreated and sighed.

She had no idea what possessed her to walk to Caden's room by this time, but here she is in front of the door.

She noticed he hadn't eaten yet, and she was going to apologize for what she said even though what she said was completely justified.

Emily gathered enough strength to knock again but before her hand could reach the door, it flew open and she flinched in fright, losing her footing, she fell backwards but Caden held her by the waist, pulling her close to himself.
