Chapter 61EMMA POV Mom and dad stiffened, their eyes on me.I wanted to stand up and leave, but my knees were aching badly. They are going to support Eleanor even without asking what happened. I know that.“Mom…” Eleanor cried out, going to stand beside mom. "Emma came to sneak her things out of the house. I was trying to beg her when she…" Mom yanked her hand off before she could finish speaking, and colors drained from Eleanor’s face.The next thing that happened made me freeze on the spot. Both mom and dad rushed to me, crouching down beside me.“Are you okay? Did she hurt you?" Mom asked, her eyes sweeping over my body.I blinked. What's going on? She was always on Eleanor’s side no matter what happened. Why is she suddenly doing this?"I'm so sorry about this, darling. We should take you to the hospital,” Dad said, and before I could say anything, he scooped me off the floor and into his arms.I stiffened and blinked. What's going on?"Put me down, please… I'm fine," I tapped

Chapter 62EMMA POV “The fracture has become worse than it was days ago. You need to be admitted into the hospital for a few days," the doctor said after he was done treating me, and I sighed.“Thank you, doc," Cole said.“Make sure you get enough rest. Don't walk around for now," the doctor faced me and said before walking out of the ward.Cole turned to me, his jaw tightening. He was angry. I could see it in his eyes."What were you thinking by going there alone after causing that much trouble? Did you have a death wish? Did you think they were going to embrace you?” He said in a single breath."I clearly told you to let me know when you were going to get your things. I could've gone with you or sent Marcus with you," he added.My eyes were glued to him the whole time as he spoke angrily.Is it that I've lost my mind or something? Why do I find him hot even though he's so damn angry right now?“What's with that stare? Why are you smiling like that?" His brows knitted together.“You

Chapter 63ELEANOR POV ‘That was the only chance we had, but you messed it up knowing the shit we all are in!’Mom's voice echoed in my head as I walked into the ward Emma is in.I managed to get the name of the hospital she went to.I paused, the moment I walked in and saw her. She was lying on the bed, her knees bandaged.My eyes lingered on her for a moment. Seeing her like this was satisfying.“What's this bitch doing here?” My attention was drawn to Chloe. I didn't know she was here.I locked eyes with her for a moment, then scoffed and rolled my eyes.APOLOGIZE TO EMMA. SHE MIGHT CHANGE HER MIND IF YOU DO. DON'T MESS THINGS UP THIS TIME.Mom's voice echoed in my head, and I sighed softly.I can't believe I got slapped because of this bitch, and here I am, standing before her to apologize.Chloe stood and approached me, her eyes burning with rage.“Did you do this to her?" She gritted angrily, and before I could say anything, she grabbed my shirt and shoved me up.“How dare you

Chapter 64Next dayEMMA POV I sat on the wheelchair close to the window, staring out through the glass wall of the hospital, feeding my eyes with whatever was worth it.Footsteps echoed behind me, and I looked back over my shoulder, but couldn't see who just walked in, so I turned the wheelchair around.Cole. “Hey…” He said without looking at me as he set a basket of fruits on the nightstand."How're you feeling now?” He finally looked at me, a soft faint smile lingering on his face.I nodded. "Much better…”"You didn't have to buy that much, you know?” I said, referring to the fruits.He glanced at the basket, then walked over to stand behind me."Dad sent that…” he said, holding the wheelchair handle and pushing it forward."Your dad?” I looked up at him, my brows furrowed in shock."Hmm. I told him you're in the hospital. He insisted he wanted to come over to see how you were healing, but I said he didn't have to…” he paused and groaned."My old man is stubborn. He doesn't take

Chapter 65 EMMA POV “The doctor said we could go back home today," Cole finally said what I've been waiting to hear. It's been five days since I've been here, and I really want to go home already. A smile spread across my face excitedly. “I'll go process the discharge papers," he said before stepping out of the ward, and I sighed softly. I picked up my phone and texted Chloe that I would be discharged today, and in less than ten minutes, she walked into the ward. I gasped. “How are you here this early? Were you already on your way?" He smiled, dropping her handbag on the bed before sitting beside me. “Take a guess," “You were on your way already, right?" She nodded. “Where's your husband?" She smirked, and I rolled my eyes. “Must you call him that?" “Of course…” she paused, then leaned close and whispered. "When are you going to tell the whole world that you and Mr. Cole is married?” I smiled and rolled my eyes. "It's a contract marriage, Chloe," I wanted to t

Chapter 66 EMMA POV I picked up my phone for the umpteenth time to check the time. Cole is still not back yet. Chloe got a call from the hospital that she needed to be there to sort something out, so she had to leave a few minutes ago, and here I am, all alone and bored. For a moment, I thought of calling Cole, but held back. He clearly told me it was an important appointment. I can't afford to distract him. I sighed before going downstairs to wait for him in the living room. My phone chimed. Cole; ‘Hey! Are you good? I'll be home in a few minutes. Want me to get you something on my way?’ My cheeks flushed hot with excitement as I read the text. Me; ‘Hmm. I'm fine. Anything’ I held my phone tightly and smiled after I sent the text. He'll be home in a few minutes. I should make dinner for us. I quickly stood and dashed into the kitchen, but paused and winded as a sharp pain shot through my knee. I need to be cautious of my knee. It has gotten better but not completely

Chapter 67 EMMA POV “How are you feeling now, dear?" Grandpa Hart held my hands worriedly, his eyes sweeping over me. I smiled. “I'm fine, grandpa—" “You can call me dad now. I mean, you and Cole are going to get married," he chuckled softly, and I smiled. He turned to his chauffeur and asked him to bring everything in. The young man left and came back almost immediately with a basket of fruits and a bouquet of flowers. "These are all for you,” he said as the chauffeur carefully dropped them before me. I gasped. "You didn't have to do this, grand… I mean, dad. You sent fruits to me just days ago," He touched my hair and smiled. “You deserve even more," I blushed. He carefully picked up the flowers and handed them to me. “My son has never had a proper girlfriend, so he might not be used to gifting flowers to his woman… Please, be patient with him,” Now I know where Cole got his sweetness from. It's from his dad. “Aww… Thank you so much, Dad… this is beautiful,” I car

Chapter 68 EMMA POV ‘We should move into the same room for now. That's the only way we can convince him’ I sighed, throwing my head back. This idea was already looking bad. My mind drifted off to Cole, and my breath caught in my throat. What's he thinking? Why was it so easy for him to say we should move into the same room? Can I trust him? ‘Do you trust yourself, Emma. That is the question you should be asking yourself’ I sighed. Right… Do I trust myself not to act crazy later? It's already almost unbearable being under the same roof with him, and now I have to share a room with him? I just pray I don't end up jumping on him later. Footsteps echoed in the hallway, and I peeped out to check. I spotted grandpa pressing his ear against Cole's door. I sighed, retreating back into the room. Cole was right. He wants to confirm if we're really together. I stepped out of the room, and he flinched, turning to me swiftly. “Dad?" “Oh… You're there?" He smiled awkwardly like someone

Chapter 69 EMMA POV Cole groaned in frustration, touching his temple. “Why is he here?" I whispered. "Why do you think? My dad is dramatic. He's probably here to be sure we're doing it,” I blinked, confused. "Doing what?” "Having sex,” I should be surprised, be angry that the old man was invading my privacy, but all I could think about was Cole's dick. What sex with him would feel like. The thought of it made my breath quicken. I scoffed, not saying a word. Actually, I had nothing good to say. “What should we do?" I asked after a long silence, and Cole ran his fingers through his hair. My fucking goodness! He's so hot when he does that. My mind drifted to my past life. I gave my virginity to Daniel back then after our engagement. Am I a virgin now that I was reborn? I suddenly wanted to confirm it, and seeing Cole now, being so hot, made me want to jump on him. Heat pooled below my stomach, and I gripped the bed tightly, trying to control myself. He sighed. "I don't kno

Chapter 70 EMMA POV I laid rigid beside Cole on the bed, my ears tracking his movement. He wasn't awake yet, but I couldn't leave the bed either. His arm was resting on my waist, and removing it would mean waking him up, and that was the last thing I wanted. My mind drifted off to last night, and I sighed silently. Fuck! That was the craziest thing I've ever done in my life. I shouldn't have suggested that. Now, I can't even bring myself to face him. Cole's phone rang, and he groaned tiredly before rolling off me. I squeezed my eyes shut and held my breath as I heard him roll out of bed with another groan. “Emma?" His sleepy voice echoed, and my throat tightened. He sounded so hot. Fucking hell! Is that what I'm supposed to be thinking about right now? I pretended to be sleeping. Seconds later, the call stopped ringing, and his voice followed. "Hey, Marcus?” "8AM?” "Ugh! Fuck! It completely slipped off my mind,” he groaned. "Alright. I'll be there before 8AM,” the so
