Chapter 11
Looking at the smirking Christopher and a slightly bewildered Richard, Emma almost groaned out loud in annoyance but held it in at the last moment.“What can I help you with, Sir?”“Sir?”Christopher bit out in laughter but his eyes held a different story altogether.“It hasn’t been a fortnight since your divorce and this is your condition? What kind of man did you choose over me?”“Chris, drop it. I apologize, Miss. Wright, my friend here is a little tipsy…”“I’m very much sober, Richie. Emma, VVIP room 3, I stored a bottle of whiskey a few months back, bring it along with a couple of shots.”Saying this Christopher left the place without looking back, his tone biting cold as if the very thought of breathing the same air as her was intolerable to him.Richard who wa

“Don’t scare the poor girl, Ry.”Another foreign voice though light and playful, held a slight edge to it, immediately ringing alarm bells in Emma’s mind, despite which she held her composure and maintained her head low.“Mr. Lee, we asked for a bartender not… entertainment.”“N-No, Miss Stark. Emma here is the bartender who completed your previous orders, and since you were very satisfied with her, I assigned her here for the night.”Saying this the manager quickly nudged Emma, who was surprised by his statement and looked at the manager in questioning.Satisfied?Then the manager lied to her because he was afraid she would refuse to become their private bartender.Understanding his thoughts, Emma calmly looked at the manager before taking a glance around the room. “What? Are you not willing to be our bartender here?”The playful voice from before spoke again but this time it had lost its playfulness and was instead full of disdain.Mr. Lee whose forehead was once again covered in

“Have you lost your common sense completely?”“What?”“Remove your contacts.”Christopher gruffly said as he quickly released her as if she was on fire.He sat back down in his place, casually ignoring the surprised looks everyone else was giving him.He picked up his glass and brought it near his lips to sip to find it empty, making Richard clear his throat in amusement and he picked up the bottle to help him fill it up.“Here let me help.”Richard said as calmly as possible, but the slight smirk on his lips earned him a hard glare from Christopher, making him mock salute the latter.“You’re wearing contacts?”Royce asked in surprise as Emma nodded slightly, before placing the torch down reluctantly.Emma has always been insecure about her eye colour, it was mainly because of her getting bullied for it in the orphanage, she started wearing contacts when given a choice by her parents to make her feel comfortable.Since high school she regularly wore contacts throughout university till

“Mr. Monroe, I might be just a bartender but such balant disrespect of boundaries won’t be tolerated by me.”Emma stated sharply, her voice same as before, but the coldness in her purple orbs which seemed like a flowing butterfly moments ago now looked like a jade as old as time.Mysterious and cold.“Ry…”Alfred looked at Ryan with a frown, clearly disapproving his actions, but he understood the latter’s anxiousness as well, so he could only turn to the other person.“Miss. Wright, I apologise to you on behalf of my friend. He isn’t himself, please forgive him, he meant no disrespect.”“Mr. Grayson, your apology isn’t required here…”Emma stated calmly, as she glanced at Ryan coldly, who was looking at her like a predator looking at its prey, while still holding onto the strand of h

After asking the car to follow them, Ryan followed Emma to the café she mentioned, all the while shielding her from the snow, even if it meant he was getting snowed and his right shoulder forming a wet patch due to snow falling continuously on it.Slowly guiding her wherever he felt the snow was deeper, making sure she did not slip on the slippery snow-laden ground.All these actions did soften Emma’s heart but there was a nagging feeling in her heart about all of this simply being an act to achieve something greater but what it was a question her subconscious couldn’t answer.Entering the café, they heard a grumble before a voice greeted them.“We’re closed for the… Emma?”Steven Sloan, Brittany’s son was the owner of this cozy café, when she visited Brittany a few days back near the old school, the old woman had suggested she work here rather than somewhere else.Though Emma already declined the kind offer, she still remembered the place and decided to come here since it was the clo

Ryan was in disbelief at Emma’s answer.People would kill to be the Monroe heiress and here she is denying it like a simple candy.“Since you did my background check you must know, I just got divorced…”“You could be a felon for all I care, Emma. Your status as the Monroe heiress is your birthright, it is not an option or accessory you could deny.”“Aren’t I dead for everyone? Let it stay that way.”Emma steeled her gaze as she looked at her supposed brother, her intentions clear.Looking at her resolute tone, Ryan leaned back in his chair, calming down and gouging her reaction.“Reason for your denial?”“I’m not entering that suffocating high society again. I barely escaped unscathed this time, I might not be so lucky the next.”“Is that all?”“I already have a family whom I love a lot. They’re enough for me. I want to spend the remainder of my life peacefully with them.” “Family? The one with whom you’ve cut contact for the last 5 years?”“Mr. Monroe, I have neither the time for an

“It is not that severe, don’t worry I can take care of it.”Emma reassured Steven as she completed wiping the counter sparkly clean.“Emma… We just got you back after 5 years, don’t disappear on us again, alright?”“I won’t, don’t worry. I’ll let you and Elea in on the matter when the time is right.”“Just don’t land yourself in a situation like last time okay? Let us help you out.”“I know, don’t worry. It is getting late wrap up and we’ll head home.”“On it.”Steven beamed her a smile as he quickly went around the kitchen and turning off the appliances which won’t be necessary for the night, as Emma made her way out into the front side.“Mumma was telling me you found a full-time job in a café near the university, how is it going?”“It is great. I somehow love being the barista, especially with the creative orders the students come up with for themselves.”“Oh, tell me about it! They want a low calorie cappuchino which tastes exactly like the one made with whole milk and sugar.”Ste

“Willingly? Does that mean I will have to accept it anyhow?”“It is for the best, leaving you out anymore will be foolishness.”“I was doing great till now.”“I found you Eve, others will also find you, and by then it will be a threat to your life. I can’t allow that.”“That will be my trouble Mr. Monroe, not yours. With me out of the picture don’t you have one less competitor for the inheritance?”Emma stated as she looked outside the window, not ready to see his expression.She did not know what she was expecting by saying something like that, but she was not ready to trust another man ever again.“Why are you so against the idea of being a heiress? Isn’t that lifestyle better than the one you’re living now?”Ryan countered in an eerily calm tone, his eyes trained on the road but the increasing speed of the car rang alarm bel

Emma was shocked by the revelation would be an understatement, why build an orphanage over the land that took away their daughter?Won’t visiting the place again and again simply refresh the healing wounds?And her birthday... she knew the birthday she was celebrating all these years wasn’t her original birthdate because the orphanage considered the day they found the child as their birthdate.So, according to the calculation, she reached the orphanage 4 days before the celebration, i.e. her birthday which was 3 days back was the day she was kidnapped 25 years ago.As if understanding Emma’s conflict, Ryan sighed softly and drove silently toward their next destination.Stopping in front of a country house surrounded by lush greenery, Ryan brought her inside the house.They were greeted by a well-groomed man in his late 40s who was dressed in a butler’s uniform.“Ruford is the supper ready?”“Yes, Mr. Ryan.”“Very well, show Miss. Wright the guest room.”“Yes. Please follow me, Miss. W

Emma licked her lips in an attempt to soothe her parched throat, lifting her head to look at the man, the last remnants of her voice vanished as well.Standing in front of her was Rudolf Monroe, the man who ruled many corporate sectors in the country, a leading businessman and philanthropist who funded various large-scale NGOs around the world, also her newly found biological father.“If you’re here to steal the grapes, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed, this is not the fruiting season and if you’re here for something else, then…”The unfinished sentence scared Emma more than the thought of what could happen to her if she refused to get acknowledged as the Monroe heiress.The subtle shift in the temperature caused her to shiver unconsciously, making Rudolf take a step back, clearly aware of his intimidating presence.“You’ve misunderstood… Sir…”Emma awkwardly addressed him, unsure of how to address him and how to explain how she was there without going much into detail.“Oh? I’m list
