Emily David Novels & Stories

A contract with a signature and nothing more. Then the chapel doors open, and my carefully constructed certainty starts to crack. Her father steps in first, tall, proud, his hand curled protectively around her arm. Then I see her. Isabella Hart. My bride. For a moment, I forget to breathe. The dress should have looked ridiculous, heavy with lace and sequins, the kind of gown that makes a woman look like a doll. But on her, it doesn’t. The fabric hugs her waist, the neckline bares her shoulders, and the faint shimmer of beads catches the light. Her hair is braided into a knot, a few strands loose around her face. She looks untouched. Fragile, even.

Emily glanced at her and gave her a wide-eyed look as if to say not to start an unpleasant remark that would only make things awkward. However, Ruby Montreal only chuckled and said, "I know what you're thinking, my lovely daughter, and I don't blame you for having such thoughts. I know David and I have been rough on Emily. She doesn't deserve that." Emily gasped, turning to face her mother-in-law. She didn't know why she had to look her straight in the eye. Probably she wanted to see if the old woman was being sincere, yet she couldn't find any lie behind them. Swallowing hard, she forced a smile to hide the sudden emotion that surged through her - relief and joy.

she tried to laugh but it died in her throat. She was looking out the window longingly, then she looked at me and met my eyes, “David is an incredibly good actor, Emma. Don’t fall for his lines.” God, this woman is poetic and I don’t think she’s even trying. “Does everyone know that David is a…” “A lying sleazeball?” She raised her brow in amusement, “Some people know, I feel bad for those who don’t.” Which would be me, until now. “So both men live up to their reputations then?”

Yet Mr Lewis is now cold, and seems to have gone off me? "Miss Pierce." I look up and see Dwayne standing with a woman behind him. She is beautiful, I smile and nod letting him know it is okay. I watch as she walks in and sits to face me. "I'm Jessie. I need a job, I have tried everywhere in this city and most won't recruit me, so I thought if there is one person who can make it happen it is you Miss Pierce." She smiles at me and I realise this is Jessie. Diesel's Jessie, and it makes me smile, maybe I can allur him in with her?

He and Jordan exchanged greetings. "You still call me by that name?" David chuckled. "That's what the Carolyn called you, or should I refresh your memory? Alex doesn't have to hear those stories." He said. Jordan chuckled. "Who's Carolyn?" Alex asked, curiously. "No one important. Both of you had better not mention those stories in my house." Said Emily, in a sharp tone. "What stories?" Alex wondered. "Stories of another day. Emily hates them." David said. "Both of you smell fish, you should go and bath. I don't want you to bother our guest with your odor."

Jeremy looked at Xyla and said. “Okay…” Xyla snapped her fingers decisively. “Sister, is your designer friend famous?” Emily asked. “Yes,” Xyla said. “Alright.” Emily nodded. “President Quest, both of your daughters have a bright future. Look at Emily. Despite being new to the field, she is actually brave enough to challenge an established designer. Not many normal people have this kind of courage,” Matt Leopold complimented. Jeremy agreed with him too. He didn’t expect Emily to be this ambitious.

"Investigating a noble house directly, without proof already in hand, invites exactly the kind of retaliation we're trying to prevent." "More dangerous than letting them burn another dormitory next time, and succeed?" Sera met his eyes steadily. "I won't wait for them to finish what they started tonight. I'd rather move first." A tense silence settled over the group, broken finally by Mira's quiet, steady voice. "I know Elyse's younger cousin. She's in my level, quiet, keeps to herself mostly. If anyone at this academy might know something about family business they shouldn't, it's probably her."

she began, her voice low, "there are things you need to know about Alexander and his family. Things he might not be telling you." Emily's heart hammered against her ribs. Was this a confession, or another attempt at manipulation? "What… what do you mean?" she stammered. Isabella took a deep breath. "There's… there's a reason why David isn't around anymore," she said, her voice filled with a hidden emotion. "He's not just a doctor, Emily. He's Alexander's brother."

"How long have you been there behind me?" "Long since I saw you rip the bag open." David could feel his eyes trying to bulge out at Lucius' shirtless view. He leaned closer to Emily to see the swimsuit she has on her lap. He ran his fingers down his wet, unruly, jet black hair and grinned. He only wore a plain black shorts that ended on his knees. "Who's this weirdo? He's been gaping at me." Lucius pressed his finger at Emily's head and forcefully turned her sight towards David.

The student body went into applause. “Any question?” Chloe asked “What was behind the name Empire?” Cami was the person to ask the question. Yes Cami was still in school, she was still a grade away from graduating high school. “That is a great question. Empire was the name of my late Godmother; I owe her a lot so I named everything I own after her.” Chloe replied with a smile
