All Chapters of Something In Between Love : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

CHAPTER 11Emily's POV I felt foolish for resigning when I had a whole lot of debt to pay, tuition to pay, and a sister to feed. What was I thinking? Maybe I should swallow my pride, crawl, and kiss his feet to take me back. But I shook the thoughts away and walked to my car. Why should I go back to Egypt when I was freed from it? This is what I've always wanted for four years, though I wouldn't have gotten around to quitting but now I had a valid reason to run away.I parked my car outside Richie's Cafe. I needed sugar to wake me up from this nightmare. My life is suddenly transforming from bad to worse. I walked into the artfully designed Cafe. Brown settees are arranged opposite each other with a table in between. The sweet scent of freshly baked cupcakes invaded my nostrils as I neared the counter. The chime hanging on the doorpost jiggled as I shut the glass door. Richie was standing behind the wooden counter, the tiny light bulbs shone above the wall behind him where a lar

CHAPTER 13 Emily "What did you want to talk about?" I asked when we sat opposite each other at Richie's. "Marry me." He said with a straight face, nonchalantly as if he was talking about the weather. "Is this some kind of a prank?" "Don't ever ask me that kind of question again." "Because you sound ridiculous." I bit out harshly. "You're well aware I don't play pranks, Asher." He suddenly leaned close. Too close, I had to lean back to get away from his incredibly distracting features. "I'm doing you a favor…" "Don't make me laugh," I scoffed. "You're allowed to laugh if you want." His fierce gaze acknowledged the fact that he wasn't fooling around. "Who put you up to this? Robert?" "My Father is dead now and he ordered that if we don't marry you in three months he would put forward Crest Publishing to my cousin Michael Crest, and we can't have that can we?" "Why?" I inhaled a shaky breath. "You don't get to ask questions." he clenched his ja

CHAPTER 15 Emily"What do you mean she's repeating not one but two semesters? And forgery?" I chuckled humorously, "That's impossible, I have all her information, her results, her attendance records, and all""Things like this happen to Miss Asher. You weren't meant to know." I froze. Then I leaned closer to Miss Ava's desk. "Please Miss Ava, please tell me there's a way out. We can work something out can't we?" "She would have to take summer classes or else she's going to have to start from scratch or simply be expelled. Aside from her grades being incredibly low, she committed a serious crime, Miss Asher. Am running it by you because as her teacher I can testify that Emma is a good student and I want her to do well. Believe it or not, It came as a shock to me when I found out she was capable of forgery. It's so unlike her." I felt as if I couldn't breathe, my hand shook on my lap and my jaw clenched. How could this be happening? Surely this was all a nightmare and I was going

CHAPTER 17Emily"Asher!" I tried to run away from Sebastian as he hurried behind me, but my stilettos won't let me."Arghh, These cursed shoes are driving me insane!" I wailed as my feet dove into the grass carpet. It was dark now and the mansion was lit with bright lights illuminating everywhere. I walked towards the fountain, soon his firm grip grabbed me by the wrist, turning me to him. I tried to yank my wrist out of his tight grip, but my actions were futile."Where are you going?" "Let. Go!" I breathed heavily, my body was plagued with exhaustion. I was tired of fighting him. "Behave yourself, Asher!" he scolded. " I hate you, how could you do this to me?!" My chest rose and fell with heavy breaths. my lips quivered as I faintly struggled with him. "What are you talking about, woman!" He released me, his fierce gaze meeting mine."I held it in, I held it in when you humiliated me and my family, or when you did things without my consent, choose dresses that I could b

CHAPTER 19 EmilyI woke up to a strange noise beside me. Earlier, after I had entered the bathroom to wash, I discarded my wedding gown on the marble floor, I repeatedly twisted the stunning wedding band on my finger I wasn't sure if it was okay to still be wearing something I didn't deserve. After deliberately buying time in the bathroom, so that when I came out Sebastian would have been fast asleep. But he wasn't, he was sitting on the bed with his laptop on his lap, perfectly pretending I wasn't in the room. I didn't know what to wear, so I awkwardly stood in the middle of the room in a bathroom. My eyes caught a pair of pajama pants and a brown T-shirt lying on a brown couch situated at the far side of the room. I grabbed it and headed back inside the bathroom to change into the seemingly large clothes –I had to fold the waist for it to fit me, I felt nervous to my nipples. I tried to subtly cover my chest with my hand when I emerged from the closet. He still didn't ackno
