Emily’s pov I stormed into the house with rage. Today was a disaster. Alex doesn't have any flipping right to tell me who I can be with or not. I came to a cross point and I stood there looking confused. Did Alex remodel the house or did my rage make me lose my way? Why should anyone live in such a big house by the way???My phone pinged.When I opened it I saw two messages on it. Jace and Wesley.“Ahhh, they should but suck dick.” I proceeded to dial Ava’s number. It rang and she immediately picked up. “Hey, hey…” Ava’s voice blasted through the speaker. I was confused on why she sounded out of breath, but I pushed it aside. She is probably stressed about the cooking. “Hey, I'm here.” I said to her,“ohh, that's…I’m in the kitchen. Come in” I stood for a second, confused before whispering “Ava, I think I’ve forgotten the way to the kitch
Emilly’s pov “Emily!” I turned and my mouth almost hit the floor. Oh my god, how do I get out of this mess? “Sir, sorry, Alex, hmmm, what are you doing here?” I asked as my words slipped all over the place. Shit, this is messed up. “What are you doing here? And most importantly with him?” Alex glared at Jace who held my hands. I tried pulling back but Jace held on tighter. I wanted the round to open up and swallow me. This was not happening. “Hmmm, I was just on my way out. Ava…..” “Do not bring my sister into this.” Alex snapped at me, making me flinch. “Is this how hasting publishing talks to their employees? Or don't employees have the right to their own personal life?” Jace asked, his face as calm as the water in a lake. “I wasn't talking to you. This is between me and my employee. ” Alex countered. “Work hours are over. She is not your ‘employee’ anymore.” Jace gave Alex a crooked smile and I almost shrunk in fright. How am I going to quench this fire? Just

Emily was shocked. She knew Wesley had no shame but she never thought he would stoop so low. She refused to believe what she was seeing, it might be photoshop but it looked too real to be. She blinked, trying not to show her relief that the person there wasn’t her. She could recognise her sister's voice anywhere and at any time."How…what is this?Why?" the words stumbled out of her mouth in astonishment. “What does it look like?”he retorted with a smirk.Emily scoffed. "You're so shameless Wesley. What kind of man secretly records intimate moments?. And why are you showing it to me?”He adjusted himself. "Emily, let's go back to the deal. You write for me and I will delete this video of your sister. If you don't trust me.. my dear, I will make sure this video is on every social media platform. Don't forget darling, I don’t make empty threats" he finished off with a wicked grin. He was sure she would write the book for him, No matter what had happened, he was certain she still
Alex had a lot of things going through his head.He kept trying to focus on the new Magazine for the white House but couldn’t.He should be happy. His company had just added magazine publication to their services, and their first client would be the White House.It was a deal to die for but all he could think of was those full lips and pretty eyes. "Fuck!!! What is wrong with me" he cursed, still lost in thoughts till the ringing of his phone snapped him out, He sighed at the ID. It was Aunt Clarrisa, his mother's younger sister and the closest thing he had to a parental figure. He loved her but she’s sorta….Whatever you’d call someone in their mid fifties who doesn’t act like it. Dramatic and demanding should sum her up. "Alex Hastings, it has gotten to the point that you avoid your aunt? Clarrisa said immediately Alex answered the call.He sighed, that’s his aunt. If she is not talking about him getting married, she is suggesting she comes for a vacation so s
Ava's Pov I slapped myself hard, just to be certain I wasn't daydreaming. It stung. But yup, it pretty much confirmed the fact that it was real. I was in Ezra's bed….and naked. I picked up the pillow, buried my face in it and let out a muffled scream as bits and pieces of last night flashed through my mind. When I rose again, my face was redder than an over ripe tomato. I felt like a silly high school girl blushing because her crush glanced at her. Whatever joy I felt vanished as I remembered the image of him bolting out of the room while rumbling out apologizes. A sigh escaped my lips. Even after all these years, he still saw me as nothing other than his best friend's little sister. The sound of my buzzing phone snapped me out of my thoughts. I scrambled through the bed towards my purse - then dug out my phone. It was Alex. I peeked at the time at the top of my screen and let out a small curse. I was late! Ignoring his call, I immediately scrambl
