All Chapters of Tempting The Billioanire : Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

I woke up to the beeping of the IV as the drip passes through my hands.I did not understand where I was or what I was doing here, but one thing I did know was that I was in a hospital. How I had gotten there was what I could not remember. The nagging headache discouraging me from trying to think deeper.A man came in, putting on scrubs and one look at him, I knew he was a doctor.I tried to speak, but my throat felt numb, scratching the surface of my tongue, the hurt causing me to keep quiet. He looked at me with a small smile before saying" You have been asleep for too long so it's normal that your throat might feel a bit uncomfortable than normal. I would pour you a glass of water and then I have some questions I would love to ask you" he said.Because of the mortification I felt with my voice sounding horrible, I decided to keep silent, nodding instead to show that I understood him.He grabbed a glass of water from the table I had not noticed before and handed it over to me.It w

Emily's POVHe seemed to stutter to find the right word, seemed to be waiting for a miracle that could free him out of the trap he had walked right into." It's for a friend, I was just helping him hold it" he finally managed to wheez out.I shook my head again his pathetic attempt to lie." Liar! You think I don't see it? You think I don't see the blog posts? You are getting married to Karen? You are getting married to my own sister!" I yelled at him and he seemed to relax, as though he knew it was not worth lying about anyways." I did not want you to find out this way, we were going to talk about it with you over dinner tonight. I already talked to your parents and..." He was beginning to say but I did not want to hear it." You talked to my parents and what? They allowed you to do the little switch between their daughters? Do you even think I'm a joke to you!" I yelled at him.The tears were beginning to prick my eyes now and I felt like a weakling, trying to hold them from droppi

Emily's POVThe garden was my favourite place especially at night. Growing up, I knew I had a thing for gardening. I took my time to sniff the flowers enjoying the pleasant scent they enamated, enjoying the joy that filled me as I watched them bloom.This was my childhood, sitting on the old swing and watching nature unfold before me.I sat there now, shaking in my thin dress and a part of me began to wish I had brought a little shawl.It would have gone a long way in protecting my frail arms from the biting cold.I could feel a cold coming up but I did not mind. I would sit out here for a while, at least until I garnered enough courage to step back inside that party.My thoughts were interrupted as a warm jacket was placed over my shoulder, nearly making me jump out of my skin.The man that stood in front of me was regal to say the least.He was tall and finely built, his hair styled in a way that I could not comprehend and his fine chiseled jaw looking like he had stepped right out

Emily's POV"Who was that?" Tasha whispered again, nudging me with her elbow."I told you, I have no idea," I said, still staring at the spot where the mysterious man had been standing.There was something about him. Something in the way he looked at me, like he could see right through all the pain and hurt I was trying so hard to hide. It made me feel exposed and seen at the same time."Well, he was definitely checking you out," Tasha said with a grin. "See? I told you that dress was a good choice."Before I could respond, the balcony door opened and Karen stepped out. Of course. I couldn't even have five minutes of peace."There you are," she said, her voice dripping with false sweetness. "I've been looking for you.""What do you want, Karen?" I asked, not bothering to hide the irritation in my voice.She walked closer, and I noticed she was holding a glass of champagne. Her third one, from the looks of it. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes had that glassy look people get when th
