Ace's POV The soothing breeze that slapped my face brought a smile on my face. Even as I sped down the road with my bike, today had totally gone fine. The job at Diego's mechanics earned me a whole fifty bucks and car washing for Mr Juan actually wasn't that bad but the geezer was stingy I give you that. Three more years and i would totally finish college upon my sister's persuasion. I would do anything for her I've seen her sacrifice alot for our sake. The minor setback of her being fired by her boss upon her return from Australia meant nothing. She would easily get back up and find another job. That's why she was such an inspiration. I knew John must be already pissed for not picking him up at school early. This was the little kid that wouldn't lemme sleep at night thinking that monsters were underneath his bed. How he has grown, just a few years and he would leave middle school and join highschool. 

Emma's POV "Hey beautiful" He sounded weird. "Are you alright, Cain?" "You know you've got the prettiest eyes, baby. You know I love you like crazy, don't you?" Something must have happened his tone of voice sounded like he had been drinking. I was concerned this was not Cain. To think I had called to tell him how much I wanted him to be with me, how much I wanted him to leave whatever he was doing and come to me. I had fallen hard! The kind that you fall in love and every minute every second you see him, everything you do you ultimately think about him and smile. Now here was my guy, my life sounding as if the worst had happened. "Cain..." "Shh...Em, I love you but this...this is over. We can't happen. Baby, forgive me" And he hung up. Wait did he? No? He wouldn't! He promised, he promised he wou

Emma's POV "I don't get it" "Em, look it's all in here. Your dad refused to sell Power Corp his designs, weeks later he dies of cardiac arrest, it's no coincidence" "What are you trying to say?" The words struggled to come out of my mouth. "Em, Xavier Powers orchestrated your dad's death. His whole family knows your true identify and that's why they pretend to love you. It's all because of guilt" "No it can't be. Mr Benson...Nicole...her mother and and...Cain, he...he loves me" A single drop of tear fell on the damn documents. "Does he, Em? I'm only looking out for you like I always do. He's just as bad as his family, maybe worse" Preston said putting emphasis on the last words. I was in shock. I vividly remember how mom was after hearing news of dad's death she couldn't eat for weeks and Ace he was the most affected by all this so to spe

Cain's POV Julia? That was her! The same voice that drove me nuts a few years ago. When she mentioned that she had Emma in her custody and that she wouldn't hesitate to kill her, I freaked out. Now listen love if you want her, come for her yourself. I'll give you my location and please don't even think of calling the cops! And she hung up. "Was it them? Did they ask for anything?" Karen, Em's mom asked. "No, it wasn't them. It was just David. If these cops are not gonna help then I'll look for assistance elsewhere" I bluffed hoping for a chance that none of them would figure it out that i knew who was behind this. "I'll come with you" Ace said but I wouldn't want to put him in danger. "No. Stay here. Your mother and brother need you right now" I patted his shoulder getting out of there so fast that none of them would

Four years later Emma's POV I wiped the drool off my face as I tried reaching for the phone buzzing against the counter. Stupid phone won't stop ringing this early in the morning! It was the weekend and I had no intentions of going to work or any plans for that matter. I picked it up. "What took you so long?" Her pitchy voice complained from the end of the line. "Crystal just say what you want to say and lemme sleep." I huffed. Crystal was my best friend since we moved here four years ago. Now that she was on her honeymoon I thought that I would take a rest from her. She was a real pain in the neck. "I need a favor" Here it goes, probably wanting to set me up with another man. Last time Josh Taylor was my date and I have never been embarrassed all my life. At first he looked appealing, the suit, the smile, the lean bo
