Semua Bab His Enemy’s Heir: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Chapter TwoThe distinct and compelling rays of the sun coming from the window were what woke Emily up from her sleep.She exhaled and put her face deep in the pillow. It was at that point that the fact hit her. She started recalling everything that happened last night.That was when she realizedShe was in a very large suite of a penthouse all by herself.The other end of the bed was cold because the stranger had disappeared.Her anniversary dress was neatly folded on the edge of an armchair with a small white paper also folded nicely beside it,Emily opened the paper, and the handwriting was neat and deliberate. "You deserved better" boldly written below it, was only two initials.—D.K. Emily glanced hard.Who could he be? Why do the initials look strangely familiar?A quick knock at the suite door made her jump. "Your car is waiting, Ma'am" a woman's voice said quickly.Emily jumped out of bed. What car? She asked, but fear had already gripped her.She put

Chapter FourAfter Damian said those words, there was absolute silence. The words made Ryan's face go pale immediately. Emily could hardly breathe because Damian's words made her heart beat fast. Everyone around them in the ballroom kept quiet and watched what was happening. Waiting. Ryan tore his gaze from Damian and looked at her in disbelief and confusion.“Emily,” he called her calmly, “Tell me what he meant by that” She wanted to say something but she did not know what she couldn't find the right words, she opened her mouth to reply but no words came out. She kept thinking what her answer would be. After catching my spouse red-handed in bed with my best friend, I went downstairs and had sex with his worst enemy. She felt ashamed.Damian rose smoothly to his feet beside her, one hand still steady at her waist. That touch caught the attention of everyone in the room including Olivia. Emily saw it immediately. The slow rolling of her eyeballs, the ruthless as

Damian glanced at the message for a long while, with a tense expression.Emily observed it and asked what was wrong, why he seemed so uneasy. He hesitated before responding. Just then, his phone rang again—he answered it. "What's going on?" he asked. It was a man’s voice on the line: “Mr. Knight, the penthouse has been locked down. All cameras are disabled, and security operatives are on their way.” Damian was still worried. “Please make sure you check for any unauthorized entry” he said, and he ended the call. Emily was so frightened. “Wait! Who invaded your house?” “Don't be dramatic, Emily. Someone just breached my security system. They were around while you were there.” A cold sweat rushed through her body. She now recalled the picture that was sent to her. So could have monitored and followed her to Damian's penthouse? “Who did you tell when you were coming to my house last night?” “ Not a single soul.” Emily said almost immediately. “Are you sure?” “What about Ryan and Vanessa”?

Chapter 8Emily was immobile.She looked at the image of her parents, still alive, standing close to Victor Knight on Damian's phone. Three days before their death.She could no longer compose herself.She said inaudibly, "That can't be real."Damian didn't say anything.She held her cell phone. "I want to look at it again."He gave it to them.She cross checked the image. Her Dad's face was clear and sharp. It was just a normal picture which had no sigh of what was going to befall them.Emily's hands were now shaking.Where did you get this?"I'm not sure.""Who gave it to you?""It was from an anonymous number."She gave Damian a look. "Can this picture be doctored?""It is likely."A ray of hope."But I don't think so," he continued. She was interrupted by the crackling sound of the microphone before she could speak."Our esteemed guests, do not be afraid."The chairman took the stage. "Tonight's event's formal portion is now over. We kindly request that everyone leave the ballroom

Emily did not want to let anybody in, so she refused to open the door. She just stood still and stared at the door instead. Ryan was also standing on the other side but it was evident that he wasn't standing alone. Someone else was there with him. But Emily could not recall whose voice it was. Ryan called out Emily's name again, demanding that she should open the door, there was something urgent he needed to tell her. She got yet another message that said “Do not let anyone in.” Emily was confused at this point because she was stuck between the text message and Ryan who was standing at the other side of the door. “Is anyone else with you?” She said, but Ryan didn't answer. After one minute he said “ I am here with someone who is going to help.” Emily squeezed her face and said, “ I never told you I needed help.”The other voice finally spoke and said, “Your Mom and Dad.” Things are beginning to take an interesting turn for Emily. “Who are you and what do you know about my Mom and Dad?
