CHAPTER 22 EmilyHis face was blank, his emotionless gray eyes sent chills down my back. He walked closer to us, stopped beside me, held me by the shoulders, and pinned me to his side. His fingertips dug into my arm. "Exploit you say?" She scoffed. "I wouldn't dare do such a thing. She's my daughter.""She's never said a word about you before," he shrugged."Sebastian…" I warned. "I know how private my daughter can be, so she might have wanted to keep–""She's my wife. She tells me everything. Except for her mother, and now I know why." She laughs dramatically."Mother, please go home, we'll talk tomorrow," I tried to go to her but his hand tightened around me. "You two sure are two peas in a pod, but you'll soon see. My daughter never disappoints." She laughs softly. "See you another time Mrs, Asher, or should I say Mrs. Travis?" He ground out and her eyes widened for a minute until she managed to compose herself. "Fine," she walks closer to us and suddenly pulls me in for a

CHAPTER 24 Emily I barely escaped the flashing cameras, and vultures in the form of pesky reporters camping outside the company. My legs trembled as set of eyes followed my every move the moment I walked into the office. I tried my utmost to appear undisturbed with my head held high, but my facade threatened to falter with every whisper of harsh words and deadly stare. I deserved it. "She's a hurricane!" Celine's voice thundered. I stopped short by the door, the blinds were drawn down so I had no clue she was in his office. I wouldn't have made an appearance, but I am stuck between a rock and a hard place to even attempt to salvage the situation. "Stop being reckless, she's going to drag you down with her. Look what happened with Vanessa." Celine raged, when I entered the room. There goes the name again–the name that stirs up unwanted curiosity within me again."This isn't about Vanessa, why do you consistently assume it's about her?" "Because it is Son, everything about yo

CHAPTER 26Emily I helplessly trailed behind Sebastian as he stormed out of the office, after punching his cousin in the face, he stormed out muttering, "You women are all the same!" Anger surged through when I got the hint that he was once again referring to Vanessa. "Stop comparing me to her!" I snapped angrily. He turned to me, his gaze vacant. "I don't need to, you've exceeded my expectations." He started walking away again. "Wait. Wait. It's not what it looks like- listen…listen to me damn it!" I hissed out in frustration. I caught him by the arm. He turned to me, his eyes bloodshot from exhaustion and jet lag, his white shirt rumbled and necktie crooked. I unconsciously adjusted his tie while he looked down at me with contempt, he caught my hand and put it down. "You have no right to do this Emilia, no matter what, you always seek out for yourself," he spat out with venom. "It's all a misunderstanding, I am a victim!" I shouted back, tears of frustration threatening

CHAPTER 28Emily"Enough. Then I'll never bother you again."I scoffed at her words. Liar. All lies. But I'll take whatever faux hope I need. "I'll do whatever you want, but I beg you don't call my husband." I pleaded. "Depends on how you behave, Emilia." She threw a measly wave at me and slipped out the door. I released a breath I didn't know I was holding. "Is she gone again?" Came Emma's voice. I shut my eyes, pained at the disappointment in her voice. It breaks my heart every time our Mother breaks her heart. But this is how our life had been, this is how we had unconsciously slipped into misery without realizing it. And now pending divorce is added to the mix. My whole body freezes up when I think about the confrontation that awaits me back home. "For good this time. Hopefully." "What do you mean?" "I'll call you later." I pulled her into a hug and left. When I pulled the brakes to a stop outside of Richie's Café, my eye caught Felix lurking around the entrance. I ign

CHAPTER 30 Emily I was suffocating. The good kind of suffocation. The kiss was pure bliss. Unless I wasn’t even sure if I was doing it right or if I was being as clumsy as Nancy. Nonetheless, this kiss was like a million unspoken words between us. Tears welled up in my eyes, I knew I would never be the same again. I moaned when he pulled me closer to him, as though that was even possible– but It caused him to suddenly pull away as if my touch had burned him. I reached for him, but he backed away from my reach, I probably looked like a clingy wife. We were both breathing heavily, he hissed in frustration, running a hand through his hair."What was that for?" He demanded. "You kissed me!" "Why'd you let me!" I scoffed with a laugh of disbelief, "So, what, you suddenly have amnesia or what? One minute you're nice to me the next you're acting like a beast. I’m getting fed up with this game of yo-yo Sebastian.""I was merely satiating the thirst I saw in your eyes," he retorted."Si
