“What is going on there, sugar?” Abigail tried to hold her phone in the crook of her neck lifting up one shoulder.“I don’t know what is going on outside. I am just here to keep an eye on Sophie.” Abigail was wiping the mess Sophie just made by dropping her chocolate cookies.“Your voice is strained. I hope the little one is not giving you a tough time.” She could hear the amusement in his voice.A beautiful smile glittered on her lips, “If I can spend time with my three naughty kids and a wicked husband then I guess I can do anything in this world.” There was a challenge in her tone that Hunter could not miss.“Hey. Whom are you calling wicked?” He tried to protest.“You! You are wicked. Our kids also got those wicked genes from you.” Abigail was enjoying teasing him.“Come back home, sugar.” She heard his husky voice, “Let me prove to you who is more wicked among us.” Abigail could feel herself blushing, “Last time we were in bed you were the one who became wicked…”“Hunter! Shut up

“These are the corner sights we should take up, Sir. Usually, big brands or popular food chains prefer these places for the instant boom. All of them are prime locations and will give immense profit to our firm.” Maya put off the laser beam and turned towards Rafael. There were four men in the room including Rafael and Daniel. And only Maya and Emerald were the females present there. There was not even a single person in the room who did not have praise in his eyes for Maya. “Good job Maya!” Rafael clapped nodding his head, “I think you will do even better if I put you on our research team.” Maya’s eyes were glinting with pride. “Thank you, Sir. Though I do enjoy my work as a salesperson, I would like to try new fields.” Maya seemed happy due to the offer. Impressing Rafael Wyatt was a big achievement for everyone. “I think Emerald should be put on Maya’s team. She will get loads of experience from her.” They all were still discussing the ideal locations when Daniel gave the unso

They had been having their lunch regularly at Levisays. Rafael was having daily meetings with his executives whereas Hunter also used to be there in those meetings.Both of them had started handling their work from home.It also proved beneficial for Emerald where she could have daily wedding discussions and plans along with Abigail and Selina by her side.Sophia was enjoying Merissa and Maria’s company these days. It seemed like someone had switched on the party mode of both families.The emergency was because Rafael decided to marry this quickly. Everyone at home used to tell the other not to panic as everything would be under control very soon.“Send me a copy of these Excel sheets, Rafael. I need to have a look at these records.” Hunter pointed towards Rafael’s laptop screen.Both of them were working non-stop sitting in their recliners on the vast lawn where kids were busy playing with each other.“Is Emerald’s family attending the wedding?” Hunter asked the question nonchalantly

Past:She was one year old when her mom conceived Cassandra. Her father Anthony Aaron used to take care of her because her mom was having a difficult pregnancy.When Cassandra was born she was happier than her parents. The feeling of that little sibling and the need to protect it under the wing was intense.While growing up she started having this uncanny feeling that her mom used to get tired too quickly. Maybe because she was taking care of two toddlers. Later it turned out that the irritation was there in her presence. Not in Cassandra’s presence.She tried to shrug it off but with each passing day, it got obvious to her.Guess what? She was not the only one who felt it.Cassandra Aaron. Her younger sister, when she realized it she started taking advantage of it from a young age.In their teen years, Cassandra used to sneak through their room’s window to meet her boyfriends and for partying.“Em. You need to unwind a little. Why don’t you join us tonight?” It was a Saturday night.

When her flight landed in San Francisco, Patricia looked out of the window while stretching herself. Her favorite, warm and sunny San Francisco. The same one which she left last time in rage. And in pain. In that annual dinner, Rafael Wyatt did not even try to steal a glance her way. He seemed so uptight sitting there with Hunter and Abigail at the party. No matter how many times Abi tried to introduce them or tried to talk to him about their common interests he did not even budge. But he was a changed man on the screen when Emerald went to him at his movie celebration party and talked to him. He had this se*xy smile on his lips when he pulled her on the stage. Emerald must be hardly one year younger than her but her parents never treated her well. There was some old siblings’ rivalry with Cassandra but her parents always supported Cassie. Patricia loved her energy. After collecting her luggage, Patricia was pushing the trolley to the exit, observing different people at the airpo
