All Chapters of Seducing My Ex's Brother : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

EMILY’S POV I felt relieved when Mara introduced herself. Her presence felt like a gift to me. After she had introduced herself as one of the designers for Vera label, her contagious smile and bubble attitude made me realize that she's not a nervous newcomer. With her around, my time at Vera label won't be boring. An hour later, the designers were ushered into a meeting room. There were mannequins in the room and I gaze at it as I looked at the fabrics worn on it Liana, Vera label's brand lead stepped into the room and everyone stared at her, curiosity shining in the eyes. "Thank you all for coming tonight," Liana began, her eyes darting at each of us. "We have seen your portfolio and I would say we are very impressed. Now we are ready to move onto the next agenda," She paused, taking her lower lips in, and we waited patiently for her to spill the full

EMILY’S POV I stood in front of the room in my bedroom, adjusting the sleeve of blue blouse. I paired it with a baggy jeans and minimal makeup.  I dressed well because I didn't want to give Victoria any reason to say any cryptic word at me. Victoria had texted me last night, asking me to come to her office to go over my ideas for the new design project. I wasn't expecting a project nor Vera label to collaborate with high profile fashion figures. I didn't even know that Victoria was a fashion designer, I never imagined her to be one. I stepped inside her office, and the interiors were screaming, class, elegance and power. Clean white walls, Glass shelves filled with awards, neatly arranged sketches on corkboard. A large window over looked the street below. Victoria stood from her desk when I entered. She wore a black silk blouse tucked into a fitted pencil skirt, her ha

EMILY'S POV I couldn't help but let my eyes fall on the huge picture frame once again as I strode inside the living room. It was impossible for me to get my eyes off it, to ignore it. The photo was huge and placed perfectly at the right place, where people entering the house could see clearly. I forced myself to look away, swallowing down the lump that had formed in my throat. I shouldn't let it get to me, not here, I shouldn't give Victoria the satisfaction she's craving for. I took a deep breath, as I halt after entering the sitting room fully. I heard the sound of footsteps approaching which caught my attention. I turned towards the stairs to see Victoria descending elegantly. She dressed casually, looking at ease as if she hasn't destroyed my confidence yesterday. She was on a phone, giggling loudly. Her voice were sharp but my heart sank as I heard the words she spoke.

EMILY POV The sound of pages flipping woke me up as I sat upright on the couch, flipping my hair backward. I saw Olivia closing the book that was in her hand as she took a seat on the side stool in the sitting room. "Are you awake fully?" She asked, gazing at me with concern etched on her face and I nodded. "Yesz I'm awake fully," I responded, smiling faintly at her. I watched as she stood, carrying the stool over to my side before settling on it. "Emily," She called, gently holding my hand as she stroked it. "Are you fine? Do you want to talk about it?" I have her small tired smile, resting my body on the couch, adjusting the blanket on my thigh. My eyes felt heavy, like they were carrying the problems of the world like a Messiah. "Liv, I'll be fine," I whispered, even when I knew it was a big lie. My voice cracked, betraying me. "Emily,

Everything felt calm, and quiet. I yawned, stretching my arms out and shifted slightly,bulgeding to the left side of the bed where Ethan had been lying beside me last night. But it was empty. My eyes bulge almost immediately, shaking off the last traces of sleep in my eyes as my heart skipped a beat. "Ethan?"
