Edmund tapped his feet furiously on the floor as he waited. Initially, he'd been Tallington them in slow rhythmical patterns but he'd soon gotten tired of waiting and his frustration was transformed into anger that he let out by punishing the poor Italian shoes that he wore.Being a man of authority himself, Edmund was not used to waiting for anyone. But this was important. So important that it was probably worth the wait.He'd been waiting at his attorney's office for almost an hour and a half to have a conversation with him, a conversation that he intended to use to determine what direction his future was going to take.Out of respect for him, his secretary had let me into his office where he waited for his return. She'd made it a point of duty to check on him every half hour to make sure that he was fine and to also inform him that her boss was aware that he was around and would be with him shortly.When the door finally opened and Mr. Bob Russell stepped into his office, Edmund ex

Detective Adams halted at once. A thrill went through her. She recognized the tone of his voice at once. It was the tone of someone who had fought so hard to stay strong but could no longer hold on.It was the voice of a man that had finally broken and was ready to tell the truth. But there were doubts. What if he was telling her one convincing lie or the other to distract her from finding out the truth?It seemed very unlikely. His tone was unmistakable. She knew she'd come dangerously close to the truth and she wasn't going to miss the one chance at grabbing hold of the truth.She twirled around, stepped forward and unstrapped the metal frame that held his face in place for the ice cold water to drop on it. She set his face properly. She needed to see his face while he told the truth."I see you're ready to talk. So by all means, go ahead." She took a seat.Max Walker chewed on the corners of his mouth for a few long seconds. He seemed to still be having trouble telling her the trut

Emily sat still, taking her breathing slowly. Edmund's announcement had somehow pinned her to the seat. She did many wild guesses in her mind but could not exactly pinpoint what the problem was.She could not remember the last time she'd seen Edmund looking so broken and serious at the same time. Had someone died? What did that have to do with Charlotte being pregnant? Was there some sort of connection that she'd missed in all these?"Only my mother knows about the pregnancy right now and I'd like it to remain that way. If my father finds out about it, there are chances that he could find out that what we have together is a lie too. I don't want that to happen."Emily still could not see where she fit in his story. She didn't keep her thoughts to herself."First of all, congratulations on your baby."She wasn't at all prepared for the outburst that followed from Edmund."Do I look happy to you?" He barked. "Do I look like I want this baby right now? But what choice do I have? He's bei

Emily had always hated to be at Dally Villa. Other than the first time she'd been there, she'd never really enjoyed her visits there since then because of the fact that her therapy sessions with Jason and the shrink were held there.Every time she came to Dally Villa, she was one step closer to being caught and that was something she did not even want to imagine.But today, however, Dally Villa seemed like an escape route for her from all the chaos that had been going on in her life. First, she'd found out that Charlotte was pregnant for Edmund. Next, the news of SkyNet continuing to drown despite all her attempts to keep it afloat ruined her day.She needed some time away from her life and from reality. Jason had been more than elated when he received the call from her, informing him of her visit. He'd told her that he would close from work soon just to come be with her but Emily was not sure she wanted that. She wanted to be alone with her thoughts by the poolside. And that's exact

After being dull and lackadaisical with work for the past couple of days, Emily was surprised when Edmund suddenly came back to himself one day at the close of work and told her that she was going home with him to fix some things that he'd noticed were off-course.Apparently, he'd taken a look at some of the account books and the proposals that were sent from where deals were supposed to be signed and had noticed major discrepancies in them.That had pushed me back into his senses. The next thing she knew, he was yelling at everyone and asking that everything be made right.They'd set out for his mansion at about 7 pm. Emily reckoned that she'd be working overtime for two hours maximum. She hadn't mentioned to Edmund that she had other things to take care of but she hoped that two hours was more than enough time for them to patch things up and rest for the night.When they got to his mansion, Edmund set her up at his home office while he went away for some minutes. Emily got to work a
