EMILY’S POVSuddenly, I asked. "And what if I'm having an affair with him?" My eyes locked onto both of them.A heavy silence followed.Victoria's expression remained stoic, but her voice was steady and calm, cutting through the silence like a blade."Are you aware that it's a poisonous fruit you're eating? And poisonous fruits kill faster than you think," She said, smiling at me."Poisonous fruit?" I repeated.She leaned forward. "This is reminding of Adam from the bible. The one who ate the forbidden fruit and doomed us all but at least Adam was a man. You? You're a woman and yet here you're committing the same sin...... deliberately,"I blinked. Her words were sharp, hitting me as a slap on my face. I had planned to press on to learn her reaction but instead, I ended up getting slicedI was about to flinch but mask it up with laughter."Oh come on. I thought we were joking. You take things way too seriously. I was just pulling your legs, so lighten up," I said amidst the laughs.I

EMILY POVI shook my head, my hands trembling as I looked at Ethan, then back at Olivia. "Something worse than that," I said, my voice barely above a whisper."Where's the something else?" Olivia asked, her eyes darting towards the door as she strode out and I went after her."That red car over there. Camille," I said, pointing at the car."How did you know that she is the one?" She asked, raising her eyebrow. Her expression changing from confusion to suspicion."She came over earlier with Victoria and when I opened the door, I saw the car parked right there. I remembered the license plate. Her name was boldly written on it," I explained, letting out a shaky breath.Without another word, Olivia strode towards the car. I followed her. I knocked on the car window and the window slid down revealing Camille sitting behind the wheel.Her eyes flickered over to Olivia then slowly to me, her eyes widened like one that has seen a ghost."Oh it's you," Olivia said, with a smile though it was o

EMILY POVOlivia entered the kitchen and I stood at the doorway, folding my arms. "I forgot to tell you that Camille said she came over with the aim to apologize," I said, heading towards the counter, resting on it as I folded my arms across my chest. The memories of the meeting still lingered in my head like a bittersweet taste.Olivia scoffed. "The Camille bitch I know doesn't look like someone that knows how to admit to her stupidity not to talk of apologizing," She replied, rolling her eyes. "But why did Victoria tag along? Have you meet her personally before?""I haven't meet her personally before. I don't even know her, I only got to know all thanks to the introduction you did at the gala. I think they are getting suspicious about me and Ethan relationship. Camille caught us talking in a terrace at his family's gala event so she's probably piecing it together but Victoria..... she's hard to read," I expressed, spearing Olivia a glance as she began eating the breakfast I had prep

EMILY'S POVIn the past few days, things moved faster than I had expected. Olivia's idea, that I had doubted and feared that it might be in a dream forever has blossomed into something real.With her help, and her networking, her small circle of socialites who were happy and eager to try out a fresh designer approached me and I found myself designing again.Sketches turned into consultations. Consultation turned into paid request and I found myself doing something I enjoyed, doing something I can do at my comfort zone.I wasn't serving anyone again.Now a self made boss. I was a building.In the afternoon, I sat on the dynamite titles, adjusting the glasses on my eyes..I was in the middle of a wedding concept for a bride that had approached me on Epitok..She wanted her gown modern, minimal and breathtaking. It's very challenging. She pointed out the way she wants her gown to sew but the process is hell of a kind, challenging but it's something I wanted because it's challenging.I was

EMILY'S POVThe hotel hallway suddenly became quiet after the knock. My soul has frozen, my heart slamming against my ribs when I heard Chloe's voice from outside.I was resting on the door, unsure of my next line of action,my thoughts racing faster than a cheetahMy entire body tensed at the idea of her walking in and discovering me here, in Ethan’s suite. The last thing I wanted was for her to put two and two together.I held my breath for a few more moments, counting the seconds in my head as I waited for her footsteps to fade down the hallway. When the silence was absolute, I dared to open the door slightly, just enough to peek out. My heart still raced, but thankfully, the hallway was empty.That was too close.I closed the door quietly behind me, taking a deep, steadying breath. I needed to leave. I needed to get out of here before anything else happened, before Chloe came back or someone else discovered me. Ethan had given me access to his suite, but that didn’t mean I was supp
