Chapter 20:

Vivienne Hart: “These days I have been getting too weak.” My elder brother who is most commonly referred to as Old Master Hart says, resting on the bed. I am facing the counter, eyes twinkling at the bottle of medications. “What did you say?” I pretend not to hear, my eyes running through the counter. Old Master Hart stares at me with what I assume is not suspicion. “I am just weak, that’s all.” He says. “Pass me the meds please.” His voice is hoarse and tired, the effect of the meds that I had Victor switch out. Smiling internally, I walk towards his bed with the bottle of meds and swipe a glass of water from his bedside table. I pass two pills to him and he drinks it weakly. “Are you taking the meds regularly?” “Yes, I am. Every single day,” he wheezes and I pat his shoulder gently, gesturing to him to drink more water. “It has just been hard these days, maybe it’s work.” “Maybe you should take a break from work? Being the chairman of Hart Group can surely be exhausting, maybe

Chapter 21:

Emma: If anything, Nicole does not certainly look pleased after I narrated everything that happened in the event in which Jeremy and I played a game across a room and that car scenario! Whew. The only person that has dreamy eyes is Emily and that is totally expected considering she’s a total romantic and won’t pass up any opportunity for a good love story so she probably sees this as a good thing. Like always, we are in Imperial Restaurant having lunch. “There’s nothing for you to panic about.” Arya informs me, flashing her eyes. “I know my cousin, he’s charming.” Nicole’s voice drips with accusation. “He’s trying to lure you back with his charm. Don’t fall for it.” She jabs her knife into the chicken. The displeasure is written all over her face, in all her thirty years of life, Nicole has never fallen in love. Hell, I don’t think she gets attracted to anyone so this is easy for her to say. Because how do I stay away from him when we literally live under the same roof and I need

Chapter 22:

Jeremy: A text lights up my phone when I am in the meeting room but I ignore it. I always encourage my employees to turn off their phones or vibrate their phones. We can’t have any distractions whenever we want to brainstorm. Right now, I am having a meeting with the editing team; we are discussing prospects of changing the logos of one of our games. Kade, my assistant, takes notes as the team leader explains the whole process. In between the meeting, my mind drifts to yesterday. I am glad that Emma didn’t fight it, when she walked through that door; I felt every single emotion all over again. I am trying my best to do this well. I don’t want to fuck it up which is why I am going to do my absolute best. My phone lights up again and I catch the text before the screen goes off. It’s from an unknown number. Somehow, this makes me sit up straight. Unknown number: Want to play a game? Whoever is doing this seems to be fucking with me. Did someone think it’s such a great idea trying

Chapter 23:

Emma: Two very weird things happen when I wake up. Firstly, my head hurts. Like crazy hurt, it’s banging so hard I have to wince in pain and secondly, there’s something wrong with my pillow. It’s not soft like it’s meant to be, it’s rock-hard. I look. I realize that I am resting on Jeremy’s chest, his hand draped lazily over me. I almost let out a scream. It feels so intimate and warm and strangely familiar. Goodness, all of this, it is too much. Jeremy stirs in his sleep and I forget how cute he is whenever he’s asleep, pouty lips, amazing collarbone that’s peeking out of his night shirt, did he seriously change then slip into my bed? I try my best to think about what happened yesterday. First of all, the guy that hit me with a baseball, I remember being in this empty, stinking warehouse. The only memory that’s solid is when I sagged in Jeremy’s hands, he carried me to the car, brought me home and asked if he could say. And I said yes. Well scratch that. I can’t imagine ho

Chapter 24:

Jeremy: Luckily even after rescheduling the meeting, Lira Kane, one of New York’s most sought after freelancer and editor finally agreed to a meeting which is shocking because she rarely agrees to meetings. Another weird thing is that she wants us to meet in a coffee shop instead of the meeting room in my company. My assistant, Kade, and I are in front of the coffee shop where she’s already waiting for me. I turn to Kade who’s behind the wheels. “Thanks for the drive. After this, I am going to head home so there’s no need to wait.” He nods, jaw tight. “I’ll probably drive home after I am done testing the demo of this new game. It’s surprising that she agreed to do a meeting with you, maybe she fell in love with you when she searched you up.” “Not funny.” I glare at him, opening the car; I step out and walk inside. I have no intention of wasting time here because I asked Emma to have dinner with me tonight, and I need to get everything set up. I spot Lira Kane immediately, a woman

Chapter 25:

Tristan: There is one thing everyone should know about me: I always get what I want. I don’t care about the price; I don’t care if that’s the only piece available in the whole world. When I set my mind to something, I always end up getting it, no matter what. I can’t deal with the fact that Charlotte Hilton is deliberately avoiding me, treating me like I don’t matter. I am a Hart for Pete’s sake, women are literally throwing themselves at me yet Charlotte won’t even spare me a glance. I am feeling all anxious, sitting in this cubicle while pretending to stare at my computer screen. My eyes sneakily glance at the glass doors once in a while. It’s Tuesday, which means she’s coming in today. It’s like all my nerves have been waiting to see her. I see her talking to the head of my department from behind the doors and something inside me lights up, she’s dressed in a black knit trouser, black short sleeved sweater with a scoop neck and three inch heels. I see her walking away and alarm

Chapter 26:

Samantha: For the past few days now, Andrew and I have fallen into some sort of easy agreement. Oh, we still can’t stand the sight of each other but at least, the normal bickering between us both is now replaced with mutual agreement. I can’t believe I am saying this. Andrew and I can last an hour in a room without throwing jabs at each other. In fact, our relationship seems to be progressing because he invited me over to his house tonight so we can try and figure out what’s wrong with Jeremy’s allergy reactions. As I bade the nurse in their station goodbye, Jessica from radiology drapes a hand over my neck, pulling me towards her, letting me inhale her perfume. “If I recall perfectly, you and I are off work tomorrow so how about we hit the bar and get stupidly drunk?” I shrug her away. “Tempting offer, but no. I will have to pass on that one.” I tell her as we exit the hospital. “Whatever!” she yells playfully, rushing towards her sedan. “More beer for me then!” I laugh as I loc

Chapter 27:

Emma: One thing I know is that Mr. Hilton and his wife sure don't seem to be buying our whole fake dating plan. Considering the fact that they’ve been married for many years, I am sure they can recognize a felony dating when they see one. Dining with the Hiltons sure is harder than I thought, how does Clara and her sisters cope? Though, I did hear that Mr. Hilton is a completely different person when it comes to his daughters. We are in a Michelin starred restaurant and still, I feel uncomfortable maybe because of the fact that Jeremy is sitting next to me, radiating heat. “So why did you two start dating?” Mrs. Hilton fixes us with a gentle smile, she’s a warrior in the cosmetic industry, going for meetings, having dinner with potential CEOs, honestly I have no idea why she’s eating dinner with Jeremy and I. I breathe in about to lunge into an episode on how Jeremy and I met when he beats me to it. “We used to date when we were younger. We were just immature teenagers, you know?

Chapter 28:

Jeremy: Last night was a disaster. The moment I saw the text, I did what I always do best. I disappeared, walking under the heavy rain, replaying her accidental text message over and over again until my brain couldn’t over think it anymore. I know what the rumours say, that my smile, words and charm can snag any woman into my bed but for Emma to actually think that, it just broke something in me and— “What do you think, Mr. Hart?” Kade is showing me his iPad with some of the recent illustrations that Lira Kane sent over; however I have been too busy thinking about something else. “What?” I ask, blinking as I stare hard at the screen. Kade stares at me, his face unreadable. “Well, I have been droning on for the past fifteen minutes. You are never distracted, what is going on, Jeremy?” Oh, I am glad to know that we are on the first name basis now. “Nothing.” I say gruffly, massaging my temples. Honestly, I am tired, weak and wrecked. Also it seems I caught a cold because I have be

Chapter 29:

Charlotte: It has been a few days and Tristan hasn’t sent a text, nor have I seen him since I haven’t been to Titan Games, Jeremy’s company for the past few days. Honestly I wasn’t surprised that he just gave up that easily, but a tiny part of me is still disappointed. Here I thought a guy was finally getting serious about me, what a joke. So today, after much pleading from Chloe and Clara, my sisters, I finally decided to go on a date with one of our family’s long-time lawyer’s sons, Gabriel Hawthorne. We grew up seeing each other in charity galas and private Christmas dinners but aside from small talk, that’s it. Now we’re seated across from each other in Imperial Restaurant. “How’s work?” I ask, trying to defuse the silence. I have no idea what he does since he has family money but still I should ask right? Gabriel is good on the eyes, with wicked brown eyes, clean jaw and chocolate brown hair, he’s probably every woman’s dream but something just doesn’t click here. “Good.” He
