Chapter Twenty One
————————————————
Emma’s POV.
I don’t know what just happened and I couldn’t seem to function. I was so lost in that kiss…
Edan had taken me by surprise and now he was kissing me. It was nothing like the kisses with Den. It was d–n different. It was a whole different feeling, a whole new experience. I feel like I was on cloud nine…
But I’ve to stop it…
I tried to push him away but he held me closer, his hand on my waist. I applied some force on his chest but he didn’t move a bit.
My legs become jellylike and I was pretty sure if Edan hadn’t been holding me I wouldn’t be standing right now.
He bit my lower lip and I tried my best not to moan. He asked me for the entry but I kept my mouth shut.
This is so wrong…
But why it felt so right?
“D–n it, Emma! Kiss me.” He whispered while parting away for milliseconds before his lips were on mine again.
He squeezed my butt and this made me gasped. He took this as an opportunity and gain entry into my mouth and there I couldn’t control it. I kissed him back with the same passion. I could feel his smile against my lips. My hands moved towards his black hairs and I pulled them. I had never been kissed like this before…it was so amazing.
It felt so amazing…
He drew back and started kissing my jawline, my ear while his one hand on my thigh and other on my waist.
“Moan my name,” Edan said before his lips were on mine again.
I tried my best not to but I couldn’t control it.
“E-Edan…” I moaned while kissing back.
I had never felt this way before, even not during my first kiss.
D–n it! What the hell! It’s so d–n wrong .
Edan drew back and rest his forehead on mine. We both panting heavily. My eyes staring into his ocean eyes.
God! Why do I love them…
“E-Edan…” I whispered trying to talk but he put his finger on my lips shushing me.
He held my cheek gently and looked into my eyes. There was something different in his eyes which I couldn’t comprehend. It was a new feeling, some mysterious thing.
“That was the best kiss I ever had… You don’t know how long I wanted to do this… For how long I wanted to kiss those red lips…” He said kissing my lips again as I inhaled a deep breath.
“Emma… You’re mine and only mine. No one could have you… No one.” He said. His grip getting stronger around me. I love this thing. I love that kiss. I love how Edan makes me feel.
Emma … You can’t do this. You have
to let it go. This is a mistake. A Big Mistake… He’s a player and no way
in hell he will ever fall in love with
you… You’re nobody and he’s
somebody… You’re nothing
Emma … nothing… keep that in mind.. . My conscience reminded me.
I pushed Edan away and he looked at me with shocked eyes.
“E-Emma?” He started.
“That was a mistake…”I cut his sentence holding back my tears.
His expression changed from surprised one to an angry one.
“That was a mistake?A mistake?” He scoffed in anger.
“Ha! A mistake? D–n!” He balled his hand into a fist and bang it on the table making me flinch.
“How can you say that Emma? How? That was the best kiss I ever had… And now you’re saying that it was a mistake… A D–N Mistake! D–n it, Emma… D–n it.” He yelled his eyes getting angrier.
I know I had hurt him but I have to stop this before its too late before I’m deeply in love with him. Before I fall for him hard… which is starting…
“Look Edan. I- I’m sorry. I just can’t…I can’t.” I tried to explain him.
He stepped closer and shook me.”Why Emma? Why you just can’t? Why? Can’t you see I have feelings for you. These d–n feelings… and they are getting stronger each day. Stronger!” His voice getting lower and lower. My heart skipped a beat at his words and I wanted to stay with him. I wanted to tell him that I feel the same in a kinda way but I can’t. I’m a coward. I’m not strong. I can’t even express my feelings.
His help, his care for me and how he rescued me from Den, made my heart grow soft for him. I started to like him deep down but I will never show him. I don’t want to make his life a hell as well.
“Please! Forgive me… You deserve better.” With a last glance towards him, I went out of the office. I placed my hand over my mouth to muffle my cries. I didn’t miss the hurt that was showing clearly in his eyes.
I’m sorry Edan, but I can’t fall in love again… You don’t know what I had been through Edan. You can’t find what you’re looking for, in me. I cannot make you happy.
I went straight to the washroom and cried like hell.
“I’m so sorry Edan… So sorry. I just can’t… I can’t.”
Edan’s POV.
A mistake? A d–n mistake? How could she say that? I had never felt this way before. Never…
Emma why are you doing this to me? Why? From the first day, I want to kiss her. I want to make her mine but she rejected me… she rejected me.
D–n it…D–n it.
How could she do that? No one has ever rejected me before. No one… She’s the only girl who got the nerve to reject me…I am falling hard for her and I have to stop it. I thought by kissing her, everything will be over but no d–n! I was wrong these feelings got even stronger and now I want more.
I want her… She is mine and only mine. Emma! I’m going to get you…I’m gonna make you fall for me. I’ll get you and then you’re going to be mine. Only mine. I know there is something stopping you from falling for me and I’m gonna find it and crush it.

And I may know the right person to talk about it.
I pulled out my phone and dial the number. After three rings the person finally picked up.
“Hello… Mr. James?”
“Yes?”
“It’s me Edan,” I replied.
“Oh yes. Edan! What can I do for you?” He sounded pleased.
“There is something I want to ask you about.”
“What you want to ask?” He inquired politely.
“Not on the phone. I’ll meet you in 2 hours. It’s very important.”
“Okay. I hope everything’s fine.” He said worriedly.
“I’ll see you then.” With that, I hung up.
I went to my car and started the engine. I drove for one hour and there I was in front of Emma’s house.
I knocked the door and Mrs. James opened the door.
“Edan… What a surprise?” She hugged me.
“Well, Mrs. James sorry for the disturbance.” I started.
“Oh call me Rebecca.” She said.
“Okay…Rebecca. I came here to meet Mr. James.” I replied seriously.
“Everything okay?” She said worriedly.
“Edan you have arrived.” I heard Mr. James voice from behind her.
I looked behind Rebecca to see him.
“Come in dear.” He said and I went in.
He led me to a small door that leads to his office. I sat on the sofa while Mr. James and Rebecca sat in front of me.
“You said there was something important?” He asked.
“I want to know about Emma’s past.” I came straight to the point.
They looked at each other surprised then looked at me.
“What happened?” Rebecca said horrified.
“The thing is I have. I-I have strong feelings for Emma and…and I have told her. But she rejected me saying she’s not good for me… And she can’t do that. I don’t know what’s her problem?” I paused.
“So, I came here. You’re her parents and you know her. I thought that you could help me to win her heart.” I told them the reason for me being here.
Her mother put her hand on her mouth trying to control her sobs.
” My poor baby… She still thinks that it’s all her fault, James.” She said sobbing while Mr. James comforted her.
“What’s her fault?” I questioned.
“Look Edan… We appreciate your feelings and we want Emma to be happy. We believe in you and we will support you. But… believe me, it’s not our place to tell you that.” He paused.
“It’s her.” He said referring to Emma and I sighed.
“She won’t tell me. Maybe you can give me some hint or something?” I pleaded.
I need to know. Even a little!
He thought for a minute and nodded.
“I’m going to tell you something but promise me you won’t tell Emma about it.”
“I promise…” I told him, ready to hear about her troubles.

Chapter Twenty Three
Emma’s POV.
I was feeling a hell of a nervous and confused right now. I hadn’t told anyone about that mind-blowing kiss, not even Kate nor mom or dad. I don’t want anyone to start thinking or at least start hoping for my future relationship…It was a mistake… A big mistake…and that’s all.
I hope today Edan just don’t mention it at all. I can’t face him. I decided to take a leave but I need money for my college and I need to save it. I am planning on telling Edan about my admission and that I may stop working here but I can’t find the right time.
I entered my office to see Edan standing there.
As I entered, our eyes met.
“Hello, Sir,” I whispered breaking our stare.
“Hello Miss James,” he replied and I looked up at the use of my surname.
Miss James? Did I hear him right ?
“Miss James. I understand that you’re not ready for any relationship and nor I am…And it was a mistake. So I thought we should just keep our professional relationship. It will be best for both of us.” He said a bit coldly and there my heart shattered into tiny million pieces.
I felt like someone had hit me like my world had come to an end but why I feel that way. I feel heartbroken it felt like an important part of my life has been taken away from me…
But why I felt like this?
Emma, you want this and now it’s done. You want to end this whatever thing you both had between and now its ended. You should thank him for that…
I lowered my head and nodded controlling the tears.
“Check these files and sent them to my office.” With that, he left.
I went to my desk still controlling my tears.
You idiot Emma… You wanted that…
Didn’t you? You wanted to never ever
fall in love. You wanted to end those
strange feeling…you wanted to forget
about that kiss and thank God Edan
is helping you with that.
He now understands that…that d–n
kiss was a just foolish mistake.
Believe it, Emma , he had kissed
thousands of women and not just
any ordinary women.. . women better
than you.
Look at yourself you’re nothing
compared to them….so just shut your d–n tears and act like a brave
woman….you had your whole life
ahead of you…you should fulfill your
dream….so stop crying over a man..
My conscience reminded me.
I wiped away my tears and started looking the files. After finishing them I went into Edan’s office and put the files on his table.
“Sir. These are the files you said.” I told him
“Fine. Take this one and check it.” He ordered not even looking at me.
I took it and went into my office I was too disappointed that he didn’t even take a glance at me. I guess he hates me…that confession was just a big ugly drama and I was just being fooled…
I’m such a big fool…!
“Huh…Edan I know you were just playing with me.” I scoffed. My eyes getting teary. A part of me still not believing this. But I guess I was hell wrong…
I need to get a hold of my self. I can’t let him get me.
Come on Emma! Be brave… It’s not the end of a world.
But… Why it still hurts…?
I opened the file and took a look at the documents. Below the documents, there was a paper more like an invitation. I read it.
Charity Event
A charity event is going to be held at 16th of November to raise the funds
for children suffering from cancer. All
of the money will be given to the cancer hospitals. All well-established
CEOs are invited. Moreover, actors
and models are invited too. There will
be a dinner arranged for all. There will
be a dance ball and an auction to
raise the charity. So please help us to
save our children.
P.S. It’s compulsory for the PA’s and
secretaries to participate.
Thanks for your cooperation.
I read it again and again. Well, it’s good to raise charity for poor children but what do mean by it’s compulsory for PA’s and secretaries to participate and participate in what? I hadn’t been to these events before.
Oh well! I guess it is probably nothing important to wonder. It is going to be held after a week.
I finished my work and went to Edan’s office.
“Sir?” I called out.
“Yes?” He questioned still not looking at me. His eyes on the laptop.
Why is he doing this to me?
“I have finished my work,” I told him
“Fine. You can go now.” He ordered still not looking at me.
I nodded and left his office. As I left the building, Lious came to me.
“Madam?” He questioned.
“Oh, Lious..! I’ve told you to call me Emma” I smiled.
“Are you alright? You’ve been frowning since you have left that building,” he spoke as we walked towards the bus station.
“Ah… Nothing.” I sighed.
I wish it was nothing…
“So, Edan told you to look after me. Right?” I turned my attention to him and he nodded.
“Well… I want you to just leave me alone. I can take care of myself and moreover I don’t want his mercy or pity.” I told him.
“But madam-” he started.
“Edan and I had worked out and we had talked about this and he did agree as well. So, you’re free to leave.” I lied with a warm smile on my lips.
It’s not that I hate Lious, he’s nice and polite and I love his company, but I’m not that type of girl who can’t take care of herself and moreover I don’t want Edan’s mercy or something. I don’t want his care, I don’t want his help.
“But Emm-”
“That’s an order. Edan told you to do as I say and I don’t need any bodyguard so please.” I cut his sentence.
I like privacy.
“OK. But if you ever need me just call me. You are still a friend to me.” He said and hugged me. I hugged him back.
“Bye…” I told him and he gave me a last hug and went away. I entered my apartment to see Kate rushing here and there.
“Kate? What are you doing?” I looked at her confused while throwing my tired self on the couch.
“Aah…Emma welcome back.” She smiled and went to her room.
“Get ready…!”
“For what?” I toss my shoes and placed my feet on the table in front.
“Aah…I’ll tell you later just get ready.” She answered.
“Nah! I am too tired.”
I ain’t gonna go anywhere. My stamina is zero right now.
“Em! Just get ready. We have to go somewhere.” She rushed to the kitchen and gulp a glass of water to ease her drying throat due to running all over the place.
“Kate? What’s going on? Just tell me.” I demanded and this time glared at her.
“Actually…..I’ve got a date and that guy is bringing another guy and he told me to bring a friend of mine…so”
My eyes widen as I stood straight.
Oh no! Please god, don’t let it be
what I am thinking. Please don’t let it
be… Please…
“Sooo… I said I’ll bring you.” She smiled sheepishly and closed her eyes.
And there! It’s exactly what I was thinking. D–n it!
“WHAT….! You did what?” I yelled at her.
Now I was sure what exactly she had done… How could she?
“Sorry….but please Emma…please. It means a lot to me.” She pleaded.
“Kate….no, a big NO! I’m not doing this kind of shits. I’m not going on a date. No way in hell…” I yelled at her.
How could she do that? I am not going…
Never ever…
“Emma…Please for me.” She pleaded giving me her puppy eyes and I death glare at her.
Not this time Miss Kate. I’m not
falling for your tricks. I’m not going
and that’s final…
“Uh… No.” I replied.
“Emma, I’ll do whole house chores for a week. No! I’ll do it for a month. Please…” She pleaded.
“Are you trying to bribe me? Well, it’s not working…” I retorted.
“Fine. Don’t go! I’ll just call Jim and told him I’m not coming.” She sniffed and bow her head down. She took out her phone to cancel her date and there, I felt a bit bad deep inside.
“You can go. I’m not stopping you.” I said feeling a little bad for her. She really wants to go.
“If you’re not going then I’m also not going.” She rebutted and folded her arms, frowning.
What? For God Sake! Crap! I am stuck.
“Fine. I’ll go.” I sighed in defeat and her face brightened.
“But believe me… If he tried to make a move on me; I’m going to kick his pretty d–n a-s.” I threatened giving a stern look.
“Thanks, Em… I love you…” She cheered and enveloped me in a hug.
***********
We were standing in front of a restaurant and by the look of it, it wasn’t a fancy, high five restaurant. It was a normal place. We entered and sat at a table close to a big window, slow music was playing and some of the people were dancing on the small dance floor.
“Hey, Jim!” Kate greeted him with excitement and I turned my head to see a guy with brown hairs and tan skin. His eyes were black. Beside him was…
Kevin?
“Kevin?” I said and this made Kate turned her attention to him.
“Emma? So you’re my blind date?” he smiled and hugged me.
“Hey, Kev!” Kate greeted him and he gave a warm smile.
“You know each other?” Jim asked confused looking at us and we nodded.
“Yeah… We are friends…great friends.” Kate replied.
“So that means no introductions. Well, great for me.” Jim chuckled and looked at me as Kate let out a small laugh and I smiled a little.
“I’m starving Jim,” Kate said while grabbing his arm and we all sat in our seats.
“I’m so glad that you’re my date…” Kevin smiled, staring at me. He was sitting in front of me and I returned his smile.
“Me too.”
“Really? That means you don’t hate me or something. Right?” Kevin raised his eyebrows and smiled.
“Yeah. You can say that… Believe me, I don’t do these shits…it was Kate who brought me into this.” I looked at him and chuckled.
“Me too. Jim forced me. He would always rant that I don’t have a girlfriend and all. So, here he is, trying to set me up on a blind date.” he laughed making me smile.
“So what will you order?” We turned our attention to Jim who had asked us. I took my menu and read it. After deciding I gave my order. The others did the same.
I looked at Kevin and he was looking at me.
“What?” I questioned confused.
“You look beautiful,” he commented.
“Thanks…” I don’t know what else to say. I hadn’t spent too much time in getting ready because I wasn’t ready for this date. Why? Because I was technically forced to come here. I was wearing a blue frock like dress with long sleeves. It reached my knees as I don’t like too revealing clothes so I decided to wear that dress. I just love it for its design.
“So do you like Violet?” I took him by surprise as he chocked on his own breath making me laugh. His eyes got wide and he was looking at me blankly.
“Hm?” I raised my eyebrows demanding an answer.
“Uuh… Um… No?” His answer came out much like a question and I could see he was lying.
“Liarr….” I teased him making his cheeks turn into a slight red color.
“Aww! You blushing…” I continued to tease him, enjoying how he was reacting.
He looks kinda cute…
“No I’m not.” he retorted.
“Yeah. Yeah. I know.” I smirked.
“So, you like her?” I asked again.
“I know you like her… Just admit that.” I convinced him, grinning.
“Uuhh…” he was speechless now.
Poor deer caught in red light!
“Kevin stop lying…I know the look in your eyes when you look at her.” I told him the truth. I have been noticing him since I met him. The way he looks at her, it’s written all over his face.
“Is it that obvious?” he spoke up, his eyes looking down.
“A little. You should ask her out. I’m pretty sure she would say a yes.” By then our order was there but I didn’t let this change our topic. I took a spoon and started eating the soup that I ordered.
“You think so. I-I don’t know if she likes me or not.” Kevin said while taking a piece of his chicken.
“Believe me, she would say yes and I’m sure she likes you too.” I took one more spoon of my soup, slurping it.
Kate and Jim were talking about there future plans and about the things they like and dislike. I’m pretty sure they were planning to have a serious relationship. However, they do look cute together.
“OK, I’ll try.” Kevin finally said after thinking for a while.
I smiled at him and finished my soup. We all had finished our meals and now we had ordered some ice cream as a sweet dish.
“Wanna dance?” Jim asked Kate and she nodded grinning.
Jim took her hand and went to the dance floor. They sway together on the low beat music.
“I am not going to say you to have a dance with me because I’m pretty sure your answer will be no…” Kevin said to me and I agreed with him.
I look out the window, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere, the dim lights on the streets as few people were passing by. I was enjoying the time when my eyes caught something.
Dark black hair, broad shoulders, long strides and the way his presence screams of power… I know who that was.
Edan.. .
And…And he was not alone, a woman was with him. They both talking and laughing and I could tell Edan was enjoying himself. His hand on her waist and they were coming towards this restaurant.
Crap!
to be continued…

Chapter Twenty Four
Emma’s POV.
I looked at them coming towards this restaurant. As they entered I took a look at the girl with him. She was beautiful, her hair black and eyes chocolate brown, her skin fair. She was wearing a black tight dress which reached just above her knees. Edan was holding her and she was smiling. She kissed him on the cheek and he smiled whispering something to her.She giggled. I felt a strange feeling by looking at them, I rolled my eyes.They sat at a distance of two tables in front of us. I quickly hide my face behind my hair.
“Why are you hiding?” Kevin asked me noticing my action.
“No, I’m not…” I lied looking downwards.
“Now you’re the one lying… One just not look somewhere and hide her face. There is definitely something fishy. Tell me.” Kevin smiled looking at me.
“Uuh…It’s Edan.” I whispered
“Who?” he questioned raising his eyebrows.
“Mr. Wilton…” I told him still hiding my face. I’m sure he could see me because his face was faced towards me. And if he stands up he will surely recognize me.
Darn it! Why he has to come here out of all restaurants!
S–t!
“Where?” Kevin started looking here and there to look for him.
“Kevin! Stop it…” I immediately stopped him from searching.
“What happened?” By then Kate and Jim had returned and they both were panting. Kate asked me looking at the Kevin who was looking around the restaurant.
“Oh… I’m looking for-”
“The waiter.” I cut Kevin’s sentence motioning him, to remain silent. He understood that and nodded.
Thank God….!
“Oh! Yes…I was looking for him.” Kevin agreed with a smile
“Why?” Jim asked sitting beside him as Kate took her place too.
“Uuh…”
“For ice cream. It’s getting late you know.” I answered him cutting Kevin’s stuttering. A playful smile on his lips.
“Yeah…Exactly for ice cream.” Kevin laughed.
“Okay,” Jim replied believing our little lie. The waiter arrived with our order after 5 minutes. As I was eating my ice cream, I couldn’t help but glance at them after a short while. They were laughing, talking and it seems like they had known each other for years.
I wonder…
Who is she? A close friend? Or someone to just pass the time? Or a girl from one of his nightstands? Or some wh*re?
Seriously Emma… Shut up! Who gave
you the right to think about someone
like that? You don’t even know her.
What has gotten into you? You were
not like that… You just cannot judge
a person without knowing him.
Right?
I totally agree…
I am not like this usually… I don’t judge a person by just looking at her/him. I believe that a person even the most arrogant one has kindness and love in his heart.
Love? Does it exist in reality?
Well, still I can’t seem to ignore this… Is she his girlfriend? But… he told Sofie that he was single. Was he lying? I should have known he is a liar… A big fat Liar!
So that’s why he was behaving coldly with me earlier this day. He had found a new girl to play with, he was a player and will remain a player. His feelings for me was a part of his play. I thought for once that he may be telling the truth and I feel guilty for rejecting him but I guess it doesn’t affect him at all…
I looked at them and felt something, which I haven’t felt before… I want to punch him to show him how much I hate him. I feel jealous? No, it can’t be. But why I felt this way… It’s not like we were something but still, I felt hurt… What is wrong with me? Why I’m behaving this way?
“Emma? Hey…where have you gone? You’re ice cream…it had melted.” Kevin snapped me out.
“Uuh…I’m done. I’ll be waiting outside for all of you…” I stood up from my chair leaving my ice cream. I really didn’t want to finish it.
“I’ll come with you…” Kevin said standing up.
“No…I want some time alone.” I said politely.
He understood and nodded. I like Kevin for this, he always understands you.
I walk past Edan’s table glancing at the girl sitting there but Edan was nowhere to be seen.
Where is he?
I was so lost in my mind that I didn’t see someone was coming and bumped into him. I quickly regain my balance and composed myself from falling on the floor.
“Are you okay?” The girl stood up from the table and hurried towards me. I nodded still looking downward, hiding my face from her.
I couldn’t let him see me.
“Edan! You should see where you’re going?” She scolded at the guy who bumped into me and upon hearing his name I froze.
Edan? Oh no! I bumped into the one from whom I was hiding.
Seriously… Why me? Why I have to
be the one to bump into him?
Crap!
“Why? She should see where she’s going?” Edan retorted.
“Edan… Apologize to her.” She ordered. Wow… She must really get the nerve to order him. No one had got the guts to order him. She must really be close to him.
“No,” he said and walked past me to sit on his table.
“Sorry for his behavior and I would say sorry on his behalf.” I looked up a little to see her face. She was pretty and nice too.
Now I’m feeling guilty for assuming all those things about her… It looks like Edan had found someone better than me.
I smiled. “It’s Okay. Some people… just don’t know how to apologize.” I replied taking a glance at Edan. I was looking at him when our eyes met and I quickly turned my head to the other side.
“Well… Thanks by the way. He is one lucky man to have you.” She looked at me confused and I hurriedly strode out of the restaurant.
I went to a small park beside the restaurant and sat on the bench controlling my tears. I was happy for Edan, although a bit hurt too but it’s best for him. Finally, he got the love of his life… And she is caring, nice, polite and loving. Unlike me…
I had only met her for a few minutes and I already liked her, so I’m pretty sure Edan liked her too. A one or two tears escape my eyes this time.
Emma! You idiot! Don’t you dare cry!
I swallow up my tears and forced a broken smile on my lips.
It’s for his best…
“Are you planning on staying here and crying for the whole night?” I jolted at the voice.
I exactly know whose voice is that. I put my head down to hide my face behind my hair.
“Still trying to hide from me?” His voice sending shivers down my spine. His lips brushing my earlobe.
I quickly stand up, wipe down my tears and started walking towards the dark, trying my hard to hide in the dark.
I don’t want him to see me hurt, I
want him to be happy.
When I didn’t hear any footsteps behind me. I slowed down a little and stood right in front of the lake… The lake was looking beautiful with moonlight.
I was enjoying myself alone. This site brings back the memories of my family when we used to go to our little beach house. The sea would shine and reflect the moonlight. I smiled at the thought.
I was lost in my track of thoughts when I felt a pair of warm hands on my waist from behind. I was going to shriek but a hand was being put on my mouth.
“It’s me.” He whispered in my ear and my heart skipped a beat.
I thought I had lost him but I was wrong. After a minute he removed his hand from my mouth and placed it on my waist. He held me tighter, so my back was facing his muscular chest. He nuzzled in my neck. His warm breath against my neck and I placed my hands on his arms and closed my eyes enjoying the moment but then I remembered…
I rejected him yesterday and now I
am enjoying it? S–t! This is wrong.
And he also has a girlfriend. A girl
better than me.
This is wrong…
“Let me go…” I found the courage and spoke up.
“No.” He replied firmly drawing me closer.
“Edan…Let me go.” I said a little firmly. My heart constricting. It does not want that, it wants to remain with him. Shut up Stupid Heart… Shut up!
“No Emma… You don’t know how long I want to hold you. It was so hard to resist you. I thought I could resist you by acting coldly but no I was hell wrong…” He whispered calmly.
I smiled at his words… Emma come
on push him away….he has a
girlfriend now..!
I tried to free myself from this back hug but he didn’t let me go. I turned myself and now I was looking straight into his eyes. I pushed him and this time he let me go.
“Leave…me… a-alone…” My own voice betraying. I turned my face downwards avoiding the stare.
“What happened?” His voice a little soft.
“What are you doing here? You-You should be in there with your g-girlfriend.” I whispered.
“What?” he said coming closer while I stepped backward.
I want to show him my confidence. I want to show him that I’m happy for him so that he could get the hint that we can never be together. I gulp down my tears and put a broad smile on my face. I looked up but not in his eyes instead I was staring at the tree behind him.
“Emma? What are you saying?” Edan said lookin’ towards me.
“I’m happy that you have found the girl of your dreams…I’m sure she likes you the way you like her… ” I whispered still not looking at him.
I could notice a smirk plastered on his face from my peripheral vision.
“No she’s not…” he said and I looked at him wide eyes. She is not his girlfriend?
“I mean… she does not like me. I like her very much. I had never seen any woman like her. Yes…she may be the girl of my dreams but she rejected me. I have told her about my feelings, strong feelings but she won’t accept them… I know deep down she likes me too but she is so darn stubborn and won’t admit… I even tried to play a little cold with her but she wasn’t affected at all by my behavior. You tell me what should I do to win her heart? Her trust?”
Oh…! For once I thought that he’s going to say that she’s not his girlfriend but I was wrong. I was shocked at his words.I can’t believe that he did all this, he confessed his feelings for her. Yesterday he had done all these things for me and today for her… He had given up on me? I guess he had understood my words… he had understood that I’m not good for him, well that girl will surely make him happy.
I controlled my tears and look at the tree avoiding his eyes. I’m pretty sure if I’ll look at him I won’t be able to control my tears. I felt heart broken…and it’s all because of me.
It’s my fault…
“Aah… You should not give up on her, tell her you like her. Take her to places she loved… Show her that she could trust you. Show her how much you like her.” I found my voice and despite I don’t want to say these things but I said them for the sake of that lucky girl.
“You know Emma? What’s her problem? She doesn’t believe in herself, she thinks that she is nothing, she blames herself for all the troubles.” Edan said, his voice a bit amused? And why did I hint that he’s going to laugh?
“Well… You should tell her, she’s beautiful, it’s not her fault whatever happened in her past.” I replied feeling a little bad about her.
She sounds like me but she is so pretty and looks bold. I know she is
way braver than me and now she has Edan. She’ll be fine now.
“But Edan…if you love her then love her till the eternity, never let her go, never break her heart, solve the problems together and never ditch her and always have trust on each other,” I whispered my voice getting heavier with my tears.
I faced my back towards him to hide the tears which could not be controlled now. I was wrong about my feelings. I had fallen for Edan and now when I had lost him I had come to know how much I like him. Saying those words worsened it…
“Emma? You okay?” Edan said from behind me and I nodded.
“So what should I do to gain her trust?” he asked me for advice.
“Well….Take her on a d-date in a romantic restaurant,” I whispered hiding my hoarse voice.
“Okay…I’ll do that,” he replied calmly.
I heard my phone ring to see Kate. I pick it up.
“Emma we are waiting for you. Where are you?” I heard her voice.
“I’m coming.” With that, I hunged my phone and wipe my tears. I turned myself towards the restaurant.
“You should go to her now. She’ll be waiting for you.” I said to Edan as I walk past him but he grabbed me by my hand. I looked at him.
“Are you crying?” he said.
“No…it’s just flu.” I lied trying my best to smile.
“You are a terrible liar…Miss James,” he said drawing me closer again.
“What are you doing Edan? Let me go… You should not be doing this.” I said trying to free myself.
“Why?” His eyes sparkling with amusement.
I wonder why
“You cannot flirt or kiss me
That will technically be called cheating on your sweet girlfriend…” I reminded him but he didn’t let me go instead he pulled me into a tight hug.
“Like this.” He whispered seductively in my ear and kissed on my cheek.
“Edan… Stop… Remember the girl you like.” I stopped him trying my best to remind him of that girl. My heart hurt
at that.
“Oh yes…I remember.” He said seductively kissing my jawline.
I bit back a moan. I love the way Edan turn me on, he made me lose my mind… S–t! But I need to stop him.
“Edan… Stop…p-please…” And this time he stopped.
“She will be waiting for you…”I said referring to that girl in the restaurant.
“Don’t worry she said me to go and apologize to you for bumping into you.” His voice tickling my ear.
“Apology accepted now go,” I ordered him this time a little firmly.
But my heart doesn’t want that….it
wants to remain with him. STOP IT
EMMA…!
“But I haven’t apologized yet,” he said playfully. “And she said not to return until I apologize to you.” He said seductively in my ear and I felt a shiver ran through my spine.
“W-Well t-then a…apolo..gize,” I said feeling nervous.
“Not now.”
“W-Why…?”
“Because… I don’t want to…leave you.” He kissed my forehead.
I was going to protest when I heard my phone rang again and this time Edan pick it up.
“She’s coming with me… You should go now. No! I’m her boss and there is something that needs to be sorted.” With that, he hung up.
“Edan? What did you do?” I yelled at him glaring at him. How could he do that? I’m not going with him and his girlfriend.
“I told them what was needed.” He held me tighter but I was pissed at him. I pushed him and this time harder. I succeeded in freeing myself but couldn’t control my balance.
I was going to fall in the cold water of the lake when Edan hold me.
And now I was back in his arms looking into his blue eyes. He pulled me up.
Crap! D–n!
“Thanks,” I mumbled.
“That’s why you should never push too hard.” He chuckled and warm crept onto my cheeks.
“Let’s go.” He held my hand but I didn’t move. I’m not going with him.
“No… I’ll find a taxi. Go to her.”
“To whom?” He questioned.
“To the girl you liked, to the one whose heart you want to win, whose trust you want to gain.” I reminded him.
“Well then…” He paused and held my face in her hands.
“I’m already with that girl.” He said and the next thing was, his lips on mine.

Chapter Twenty Five
Emma’s POV.
I have been taken by shock again by Edan, although I had so missed those warm lips. Yes… I missed his lips, his warmth.
Still, I couldn’t seem to comprehend why is he doing this? Why is he kissing me? And who was he with? And who is that mystery girl whose heart he wants to win? There were a ton of questions in my mind.
How am I gonna find their answers?
Despite the fact that I want to kiss him and never let him go I need to find the answers to these questions. I gain my courage and pushed him away but he didn’t flinch at all.
His kisses getting intense and if I didn’t stop him now I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to control myself.
I pushed him again and drew my face back. I looked in his eyes but this time they weren’t as furious as the last time. Instead, there was some satisfaction in them.
Satisfaction? But why?
“Come on. Let’s go…” He took my hand and started walking towards the parking area.
“Edan… Stop…where are you taking me? And why did you kiss me? And who was that girl with you?” I asked him trying my best to stop him.
He stopped and looked towards me. I thought he was going to give me the answers to my questions but Oh boy!!! I was wrong.
“That’s lots of questions Miss James,” he smirked.
“Ed-” I was cut off by his lips on mine. He kissed my lips although it was a short kiss, it was amazing.
“Hush…!” he said while parting away and continued to take me towards his car. And that was enough for me to shut my d–n mouth.
After we sat in, he started the car and now we were on the road. After about 20 minutes I decided to break the silence. I couldn’t take these questions anymore.
“Edan where are you taking me?” His eyes on the road, he didn’t reply. Now I was getting a little afraid. We were driving in the middle of nowhere and in this time of the night.
Where were we heading to?
He stopped the car in the middle of the road and faced towards me. “So what were you saying?” he said with a smirk.
“Why are we here?” I was now starting to panic a little.
Is he really Edan? Or some murderer who has brought me here in the middle of the might.
God! What am I even thinking!
“I just want to have some time alone with you.” With that, he moved out from the car and walked towards my side. He opened the door and motioned me to get out. I hesitated, still a bit afraid of this. Early today he was playing coldly with me and now all these kissing and loving. What is this?
I’m not afraid of him. It’s just a little awkward for me.
“Come on,” Edan said forwarding his hand. But I didn’t respond. He looked into my eyes.
“Don’t be afraid. I’m not going to eat you.” he chuckled and I smiled at his words.
“Emma come on… Do you trust me?” he said his eyes staring into mine. Do I trust him?…Do I?… I looked at those blue eyes. Those eyes filled with hope, filled with something different that I haven’t seen when I first met him.
“Do you trust me?” He said his voice firm.
I focused on his words. Emma! Do
you trust him? Do I? I think yes… Yes, I do trust him. I nodded and took his hand. I don’t know why I trust him. After seeing him with that girl, after he kissed me and then he teased me, after he acted harshly with me… But still, I trust him… I believe in him.
Call me a mad woman, call me insane, call me whatever you want, but now I can’t help it. I had fallen for this man standing in front of me. The more I forced myself to make me believe that I am not attracted to him, the more I try my best to stay away from him, the more I came closer to him. That man who I hate the most, that man who forced me to work for him…the man who comforted me, who saved me… I don’t know if I’ve gone crazy or something but I think I had fallen for this man and I like him.
He locked the car and we started to walk on the road. He was holding my hand. Butterflies invading my stomach by this mere contact. We turned towards a small path having trees on both sides. A cool breeze was blowing and I shivered. Edan noticed that and put his coat on my shoulders. Instantly my cheeks warmed up. I smelled his intoxicating scent. He held my hand. That path led us to a small park. The park was beautiful. My mouth hung open in aw. The trees shining in the moonlight.
There was a bench in front of a beautiful lake, and a small cabin beside the lake. The water of the lake reflecting the moonlight. It was beautiful. He took me to the bench and we both sit there. I looked at the view admiring it.
“I used to came here when I was a kid with my family,” Edan said looking towards the lake breaking the awkward silence between us.
“It’s beautiful,” I replied admiring the view. I loved it…
“Why did you bring me here?” I asked the question which was intriguing me.
“I wanted to show this to you. It’s my favorite spot, this place is full of my childhood memories. I thought maybe you’ll like it too.” His blue eyes staring into mine.
“I love it,” I replied staring back into his eyes, the rustling of leaves by the cold wind and the peaceful environment… I loved every bit of this place. But the best part is that I’m
with Edan.

“Edan?” I said slightly
“Hm?” He said while taking my hand and walking towards the other side of the lake.
On the other side, there was a boat. I don’t know where he’s taking me. My question was answered when he took my hand and led me on the boat. As I step on it, It starts shaking and I shrieked grabbing Edan’s arm tightly.
“Calm down…” he chuckled and grabbed me.
“Are you planning on drowning me?” I said a little furious.
“Not at all. I’ll never do that.” he chuckled and pecked on my cheek. My eyes got wide open and I turned into all shades of red. I have to stop
myself from reacting this way… I had
never reacted this way. What is he
doing to me
He led me to the boat. He sat in front of me and started rowing the boat. I was surprised at him, shocked. I haven’t seen his this side before, his muscles contracting and relaxing when he paddles the boat and I couldn’t seem to avert my eyes from him. I looked at him, his eyes locked in mine…
I don’t know what is the plan of him by bringing me here but I’m glad he did. This place is great.
After about half an hour I asked Edan to drop me at my place. I really enjoyed this peaceful environment, it feels like you’re in a completely different world, no tensions, no worries only quite and peace and the best part was that I was with Edan. I really enjoyed his company… We laughed and he shared his childhood memories with his family in that place, and today I also came to know that he has 1 older brother and one younger sister.
The car stopped in front of my apartment and I know it’s not maybe the best time but I need to ask that question that’s been disturbing me all this time.
“Who was the girl you were with, in the restaurant?” I asked not even recognizing my own voice. It came out a little rudely and it seems like I was hurt or something.
“Why?… Are you jealous..?”I noticed a smirk on his lips.
“No…” I retorted.
“I was just wondering.”
“I’ll tell you on one condition,” he said in a playful tune his eyes showing that.
“And what’s that?” I said trying to act like a strong woman. I thought maybe he would say something like you have to do an overtime work or something but I was wrong again.
He looked into my eyes and leaned closer, my stomach doing summersaults, seeing that I leaned back and my back hits the car.
“Are you afraid of me?” He said leaning closer.
“Afraid of you? Huh…” I huffed. Why will I be afraid of him?
“Then why all the time when I came closer to you, you seem to move back.” And this sentence caught my tongue. He leaned closer and I don’t know how to react.
“Well… If you’re not gonna tell me who w-was that girl than I be should be g-going.” I opened the door hoping to escape his questions but he stopped me and pulled me back to my seat.
“Edan let me go…” I felt thousands of electric sparks in my body by his touch.
“Not until.”
“Until what-” I was getting irritated now. What does he want from me? Why can’t he just let me leave…
“Kiss Me.” He smirked.
to be continued..

Chapter Twenty Six
Emma’s POV.
“Kiss Me.” He said with a serious look.
Kiss him… No way… Not at all.
“No!” I said breathing heavily, I don’t know what is going on, my heart had accelerated and I felt thousands of butterflies in my stomach.
“Then I’m not gonna tell you who that beautiful woman was,” he smirked straightening up.
“Fine don’t tell me…” With that, I stepped out of the car before he could stop me.
I hurriedly moved towards the door, I heard his footsteps behind me and that could mean only one thing Edan is behind me.
I entered the elevator and hit the 5th-floor button, as it was going to just close Edan step in. I started to feel nervous by having Edan and me alone in the elevator. The door opened and I stepped out and so did Edan.
Seriously… Why can’t he quit? Quit it
Edan…
“Are you planning on coming in?” I asked turning around glaring him.
“Yes,” he remarked with a smirk.
What is with that smirking? Hasn’t he
been smirking more lately? Or is it
just my imagination.
“What do you want?” I asked getting annoyed by his following.
“I want a kiss,” he said showing his thousand dollar smile.
“Yeah… Dream on… Dream boy!” With that, I opened the apartment door and step in. I was ready to close it but Edan stopped me.
“I’m tired and I want to sleep, so with due respect just go,” I said threatening him a little while opening the door.
“Okay…I’m going but you forgot something…” Seriously he’s going..? I won..? I was expecting a no from him.
“And what is the thing I had forgotten?” I said putting my hands on my hip.
He took me by my arm and pull me outside of the door frame. I looked at him confused.
What the hell he’s doing?
He held me tighter in his arms so that I couldn’t escape.
“You forgot this.” He said seductively and clashed his lips on mine kissing me with passion.
I was surprised, this kiss I love it… Every time whenever he kissed me I’m like as if I’m on a roller coaster ride. Every kiss is like an exciting adventure. I was going to kiss him back but he drew back and stroked my cheek.
“Be ready at 12:00 pm tomorrow.” he pecked on my lips and with that, he left leaving me hanging in my thoughts.
What just happened? Be ready for what?
“Emma?” I heard Kate voice and went in.
“Yes. It’s me.” I went to her room.
“What took you so long?” She said in half sleep.
“Uuh… Nothing. Just B-Busy.” Yeah
so busy… I lied. Memories of the night starting playing in my head… That mystery girl…then that Kiss…Then Edan.And then his goodbye kiss. A smile crept across my lips thinking about it.
“Hey… ” I came back to reality by Kate’s voice.
“Huh? You were saying?” I asked Kate.
“You just completely zoned out.I have called your name thousand times.” she did? How come I haven’t heard it.
“Sorry. Just little tired, Bye.” With that, I head towards my room still smiling about this amazing night.
Edan’s POV.
I smiled at the thought of her… She was so confused back then. I acted a little coldly with her to test my feelings for her…I want to make sure that they are just not temporary that I would not hurt her. I talk about it with my sister and she said I am in love with her…which I’m not. I believe that I just like her.
I don’t believe in love…I think that love exists only in stories although there is that family love but it’s quite opposite of this love.
I don’t know why I took her to my favorite spot but deep down I felt that maybe by this action she may start to trust me. I loved the time we spent together.
It’s all like a dream, an amazing dream which I’m afraid is going to end but I’ll never lose hope for us. I like her more than anything. She’s my everything, my air, my life…I’m never ever gonna give up on us. Never.
Emma’s POV.
I groaned when I heard someone banging on the door. I don’t want to get up. I want to sleep.There came another bang.
“WHAT..!” I yelled
“Emma. Get up… Your boss is here…” I heard Kate voice.
What my boss? Edan? Why would he be here? I’m probably dreaming.
“Emma…! Get up. He’s waiting in the living room!” She yelled back.
I don’t care if he’s waiting in the living room. I’m not getting up, I want to sleep. He can go back. For God sake it’s Sunday. That means my rest time.
“Emma..!” She yelled again still banging my door.
I had enough. How dare he disturbed my sleep…
“I’m not coming… Tell him to leave.” I yelled back and went back to my peaceful sleep.
I haven’t slept for half an hour when someone knocked at the door. Now I had enough… Can’t she understood a simple thing…a d–n thing that I want to sleep.
I was fuming with anger. There came another knock and I had enough, I get off my bed and went to the door. I pulled open my door.
“Can’t you just understand one d–n thing… Tell that jerk to just buzz of-” I was cut off by the person standing in front of me. I looked at him wide eyes.
“Well…Good Morning. I’m surprised Miss James you look amazing.” Edan said with a chuckle.
My face got red, my cheeks warm up… I was in my shorts and a loose shirt. My hair tied in a low pony which was a mess right now.
I tried to shut the door but he stopped it.
“What the hell!” I yelled and he chuckled which made me more furious.
He pushed the door opened and entered my room.
“What are you planning to do? Go away.” I yelled at him pushing him to get out of my room.
“You look cute when you’re pissed.” He stroked my cheek gently.
“Now get ready… We’re going.”
“But where?” I asked him.
Seriously to where he’s going to take me now?
“Just get ready,” he ordered and left my room.
Such a Mr. Do as I say… Well, I don’t
give a d–n.
Should I? No… I will not. Not until he tells me where he’s taking me. I am stubborn after all.
I went to my bed and laid there refusing to get up.
After about 20 minutes the door knocked again and I pretended to be asleep. Yeah… I was a little embarrassed by my appearance but I don’t really give a d–n about it. It was his fault after all… I just don’t care what people think about it. I’m just Miss Carefree…
The door pushed open and the next thing was I’m flying in the air. I shrieked to see Edan carrying me on his shoulder.
“Put me down…” I yelled while hitting him on the back.
“Put me down, you idiot,” I yelled again this time hitting him harder but he wasn’t affected at all.
What he’s made of
“Oh my God..!” Kate said surprised looking at me on Edan’s shoulder.
“Help me, Kate.” I pleaded to her. She rushed towards me to help me but Edan stopped her.
“I am taking my sweet lazy PA. So don’t worry, she is in good hands.” He said to Kate with a stern look. “And she’s going to be late tonight.” With that, he left my apartment and carried me to his car.
He put me gently on the seat and fasten the seatbelt, there was no use of my protest. I really hate him.
He went to his side and started the car. I was so pissed off right now that I didn’t even say a single word. I don’t know where he’s taking me.
The car stopped in front of his penthouse.
“Why are we here?” I couldn’t keep it this time. I have to ask him why he had brought me here.
“Look who’s out of her shell?” He grinned.
I glared at him.
“It wasn’t in my plan but as you were being stubborn so I had to use my plan B.” he left the car and I did the same.
“Plan B? What plan B?” I said following him.
We went in the private elevator that leads us to his penthouse.
As the door opened an older woman of 45 was standing there. Her hair colored red, she had brown skin and green eyes.
“Hello. Rose…This is Miss Emma.” Edan introduced me to her. She looked at me and smiled.
“Well, hello dear,” she said in a motherly tone.
I replied her with a hello still confused what is the hell going on here? Will someone enlight me?
“Well… Rose I wasn’t planning to do this but she’s all yours for now.” With that, Edan went to his small office after giving a peck on my cheek. “Don’t be too long,” he said.
“What is going on?” I asked Rose. She took my hand and led me towards Edan’s room. I went straight to the washroom because that jerk handsome idiot didn’t give me the time back in my place. I did my business and brush my teeth with the spare toothbrush placed there. I washed my face and still yawning, stepped out. Rose held my arm and made me sit on a chair in front of a dressing table and started brushing my hair.
“What’s going on? And what are you doing to my hair?” I said as she started to curl my hair.
“Mr. Wilton called me and said me to come here as fast as possible. He said me that he wants me to do a little styling and makeup for someone…I’m an expert in these kinds of things.” She said proudly.
Why did Edan ask her for this? And why is he doing this?
“Excuse me, Rose. For how long you have been working for him…and how many girls y-you had been styled?” I asked the question feeling a little jealous. Did he do this for every girl he brought here?
“I have been working for his family for past 20 years…and relax my dear…you are the only girl whom he cares about…he must really be in love with you.” she smiled while giving light curls to my hair.
Love? Does he love me? No. That’s not true. It just…can’t be true. Who would fall in love with me? Me? I’m not that worthy and I’m not that lucky to have someone like him… He deserves better. Although I have started to like him but I won’t tell him that… I still hope that he will find someone better… like that girl, but who was she?
“Here done.” She said while finishing my hair. I really loved my hair. They pretty look like natural curls.
“Now time for makeup.” She said picking some foundation bottle from her bag.
“No… Please, I don’t do makeup. Just put on some liner and a mascara.” I said stopping her.
“Only that?” She asked confused.
“Yes…” I replied politely. She nodded and took out an eyeliner and mascara.
“You are so different from other girls, no doubt Edan loves you.” She said applying eyeliner and mascara.
“I like simplicity… I think it has its own beauty in it.” I replied smiling.
“Indeed… My dear.” She replied applying red lipstick on my lips.
It’s the first time I had worn lipstick… I mostly like lip gloss.
“There done… You look beautiful…absolutely gorgeous. Now here is your dress.” She handed me a red dress, it was beautiful with a red belt at the waist.
I changed into it and looked at the mirror. The dress hugging my body but it was so comfortable. With it was red heels and a small shoulder bag. I looked at the mirror and I looked like some hot model yet so decent… The person staring back at me was not me. It was someone better than me. These curls and the little makeup really changed my appearance.
“You look smoking hot and cute.” Rose hugged me.
“Hey…is my girl ready? I’m dying on waiting here.” Edan said knocking the door.
My girl? I rolled my eyes at that. An idea came into my mind and I grinned at it. I told it to Rose and she agreed in helping me.
“Hey, Rose? Is Emma ready?” He knocked again and this time a little harder.
to be continued….

Chapter Twenty Seven
Edan’s POV.
I don’t know what was taking her this long, she should be ready by now. I couldn’t wait more as my patience was getting the best of me. Its enough already!
I knocked again and this time harder.
“Hey, Rose… Open the door.” I banged on the door.
The door opened and finally, I would be able to see Emma. I went in and looked around the room but there was no sign of her.
Where is she?
“Where is she?” I asked Rose glaring at her. I was so worried right now. Where could she be possibly gone?
“Aah… Sir. She…”
“She… What?” I yelled at her.
D–n! Edan calm down.
“She is so darn stubborn Sir. She won’t listen to me. I tried to do her makeup but she refuses and–” She stopped while talking.
“And… WHAT? Tell me.”
Did Emma run away? Did she go back to her house? But how could that be possible I was sitting in the living room and I didn’t saw her leaving the penthouse. So where could she be gone?
“Sir… She refused to dress up and went to your bed… She said that she just wants to sleep, nothing more than that. And she also said that you are a jerk for bringing her here.” She said smiling at her words and a small smile threatened to escape on my lips but I resisted it.
“You can go now,” I ordered her and she nodded. After that, she left the room. My anger seems to fade away as a smile played on my lips.
So sweet Emma! Where are you?
I looked towards my bed and there was someone behind the blankets which I’m sure is Emma. I went towards the bed.
“Emma wake up…” I said in a playful tone while going closer to the bed.
“I know you’re stubborn but I also get what I want so I’m not gonna give up… And if your not gonna get up then I’m gonna punish you…” I smirked thinking about the ways of punishing her. But she didn’t move a bit, so I get closer and pulled away from the blanket from the bed. My smile faded. This was not Emma, where was she? I saw the pillows arranged on my bed.
S–t!
I heard the door being locked and turned my attention to the sound. It was my bedroom’s door. Someone was laughing on the other side, I went to it and tried to open it but it was locked.
“What the hell…?” I cursed at the stupid door. Someone had locked me inside my own room.
D–n it… And where’s Emma? S–t…!
“Open the f—–g door…!” I yelled banging on the door. That person is so going to regret this. I clenched my fists.
“First be nice… Mr. Wilton. You should really control yourself.” I heard a chuckle from the other side and my anger faded away as it had evaporated out of me by hearing that voice. My furious expression was replaced by a surprised one and a wide grin spread on my lips.
“And what if I don’t wanna be nice?” I smirked.
“Well, then you aren’t getting out…” I heard her chuckle and I could tell it wasn’t a fake one.
“My dear sweet sweet Emma. Let me out. Or else…. you’re gonna be in a deep trouble.” I hold in my laugh and trying my best to act seriously.
“Well, Mr. Wilton… I’m ready for that… But how are you gonna do that? You are locked in my little game and now you’re not getting out.” She said playfully and started laughing. I had never heard her laugh before, she must be enjoying this but I’m not going to get defeated.
“Well… I guess you’re right I’m locked up indeed. You won…” I said trying my best to find another key around the room. I am sure I have seen one key around here somewhere. I looked through my wardrobe and drawers.
“I win? Seriously? I thought you were… well whatever.” She said with disbelief.
“Well… Now open up.” I said calmly still looking around for the key.
“Nope.” She said popping the ‘p’ sound.
Aah… Bingo..! Found it…
I took the key from my drawer and now I need a solid plan for getting out of here.
“Edan? You still there?Are you okay?” Emma said with a tone filled with care. Does she care for me? But why?
“Edan?” She said knocking on the door.
And then I got a plan… I didn’t reply and stay quiet.
“Edan?Edan?” She kept on calling my name.
“Edan just say something…” She shouted from the other side.
“I know these games of yours… Your fine, I know it. Well now, I’m not going to open it till night…and I’m going home.” With that, I heard the clicking of her heels going down the stairs.
I opened the door and went outside locking it from outside. I went downstairs with light steps. So that she couldn’t hear them. I heard the shuffling of pans in my kitchen and glanced at it to see Emma looking for something in the fridge… She must be hungry for I’m sure she hadn’t taken her breakfast because I didn’t give her the chance for that.
She put a frying pan on the stove and started mixing all the ingredients she had taken out. As she did that she sang a song, she had a really nice voice. She looked so perfect, so stunning in that dress. Her hair getting on her face. She looked in peace, so relax like not a care in the world but I know deep down there is something disturbing her… After making pancakes she put them on two plates. I saw her coming to my direction and I hide in the room beside my room. It’s a small room where I do most of my exercise She went in front of my room.
“Edan? I have brought some breakfast. Are you in there? Of course, you are! Edan! If you want it then say something nice like Pretty Please…” she put the tray on the table outside my room.
Pretty Please? Why would I even say
that? Such a naive girl, did she really thought that I will be trapped in her
this game?
I smiled at her actions, she doesn’t know at all that I’m not in there.
“If your not gonna reply to me then I’m not going to talk to you ever.” With that, she stood there waiting for my reply. Her temper rises up and her eyes glaring at the door. Why can’t she just open it? She is so darn stubborn.
“F–k you…!” She yelled. I was surprised on hearing those words from her mouth. I never knew that she would say that… I should really stop now.
“I hate u…” She turned towards the stairs as she walked past the gym room I grabbed her arm and pulled her in. She let out a shriek surprised by this action. I held her in my arms and covered her eyes with my hand. Her back on my chest.
“Let me go!” She shouted at me.
“Do you really want that?” I said in a husky tone in her ear, kissing her on the cheek.
“Edan? B-But h-how? You-You were in…” She didn’t understand at all that, how I had escaped from her little game. I smiled inwardly.
“Surprised? I told you I always get what I want.” I said seductively in her ear. Her cheeks became all shades of red and I liked the effect I had on her.
“Well… Miss James. Let me tell you. Two can play this game.” I whispered in her ear. I really love the way that Emma is in my arms. I don’t want to let her go. One day she’s gonna be the death of mine.

I removed my hand from her eyes and she turned her face towards me… She looked breathtaking, sexy. No one had ever affected me this way, she just turns me on. Ignite the fire in me. And I love the way she made me feel, I had never felt like this before.
“How? How y-you… uuh… You are an idiot, I hate you.” Her eyes glaring at me, she pushed me to free herself but I made my grip stronger around him.
“It’s time for your punishment sweetheart.” Her eyes shot up looking at me wide eyes… I told her that I’m gonna punish her and now it’s time for that.
“You won’t dare…”
“Wanna bet?”
“You-”
I cut her sentence and drew her closer not leaving a space between us and my lips crashed on hers like a hungry wolf…
I love this kiss, I’m sure I will never get bored with her… Every day is an adventure with Emma. I had never met someone like her, she’s unique, she’s different, she doesn’t give a d–n about what other people think about her… She’s special and moreover, she’s MINE…
Emma’s POV.
Thousands of butterflies started dancing in my stomach as soon as his lips met mine. I want to kiss him with the same emotions, with the same passion but I have to take control of myself… I’m not ready for another relationship and I never will be. Although the fact I like him, still I have to end this before it goes way out of hand. I need to stop this but why Edan is making it difficult for me? Why?
I pulled my face away and escaped from his hug.
“Are you done?” I said putting my hands on my hips. I was still confused how he had managed to escape from that room. I am pretty sure I had locked it.
“No, I’m not…” A smirk plastered on his lips.
“Shut the hell up.”I rolled my eyes leaving the room, I’m still not in the mood to talk to him. Although my mood had lightened up a bit…
Because of that kiss.
But I’m still going to give him the silent treatment.
Why he hadn’t replied to me, I was so worried sick I thought something might have happened to him… I hate him.
No, you don’t…You like him…
Uuh… Shut up.
I went to the kitchen and started eating the pancakes I had made. Because of that jerk yet so handsome
and sexy and– wait! what I’m
saying?
Geez! Let’s start again.
Because of that jerk Edan I hadn’t taken my breakfast.
Now that’s right…
I saw Edan with his plate, he sat right in front of me. A mischievous smile on his face, I stick my eyes to everything except him.
“So aren’t you going to talk?”
I didn’t reply to him, I was definitely going for a silent treatment.
“Well. I should be the one doing that.” he took his last bite and I did the same, I put the plates in the dishwasher.
Now, what to do? I even don’t know why I had been dressed this way?
“Come on,” with that he took my hand and went to his car.
Where were we going now? I wanted to ask but I remained silent.
I ain’t talking to him!
He started the engine and after 30 minutes we were standing in the front of a huge mall and I had only one question inside my head. Why had he brought me here?
This time I couldn’t stop myself from asking.
“Why are we here?”
“Looks like someone is out of its shell.” he mocked and smiled looking at me. I rolled my eyes. He had worn a cap and sunglasses which I don’t know why?
What is he planning to do?

Chapter Twenty Eight
Emma’s POV.
It’s been an hour since we were in this mall. We had gone to almost 10 shops and I had tried almost 8 dresses. I walked out of the trial room wearing a knee-length navy blue dress having spaghetti straps. It’s a little too tight. I walked out of the trial room to see Edan sitting on the coach, busy on his phone.
I cleared my throat to gain attention from him.
He looked at me eyeing me up and down and then a smirk appeared on his lips.
“You look hot Emma,” he commented with a wide grin.
“Oh… Just shut up. You know I don’t do this s–t… You had forced me to do so…” I rolled my eyes at him.
“And I’m glad I did…” he winked at me and I stuck my tongue out at him.
I walked back in and changed into my previous dress. As we had entered into the mall I asked him the reason for bringing me here.
All he had to say was that I should at least have 5 signature outfits of the most famous designers of whole America.
I protested but to no use… I asked the reason and he just smiled not answering. On pursuing he just replied saying as his PA I should look presentable and in order to not make a fool out of him. So, I was stuck with my dumbass boss now.
Jerk! Guess what! You already are a
fool and you don’t need me to make
you one.
I smiled proudly at me.
I came out and went to the cashier as he paid for my 2nd dress.
“Edan… Stop it. I can buy it. I don’t want you to pay for it. You had already bought me one.” Although the dress was expensive. Of course, it
would be… Duh..! It’s a signature
outfit after all. But still, I don’t want others to pay for me. I’m a kind of independent girl and I clearly don’t like the idea of other people paying for my things.
“Emma… We are not going over this again. I’m paying.” He stated firmly and took out his debit card.
“But-”
“Now, are you shushing or I should kiss those lips to silent you down.” He smirked cutting my protest as the cashier smiled.
These lines were enough to shut my mouth down but I did give him my rolling eyes.
Why he have to say that all the time
to shut me down??
We went to another high-class shop and there too I tried four dresses and Edan picked the purple one which was quite tight, hugging my body and showing my curves. I love it though it felt a little too revealing but Edan bought it despite my all protest.
“Come on, you look hot in it,” Edan said smiling at me.
We went to a small cafe in the mall and I ordered a cup of coffee to ease me up. Edan went to the washroom and I was seated alone at the table, sipping my coffee enjoying its flavor and aroma.
“Hey, Beautiful… Are you alone?” I turned my attention to a young man who had seated in front of me. He had blonde hairs and hazel eyes, a smirk plastered on his face.
Not with this crap…!
“I don’t have time for your shits…so buzz off,” I said ignoring his stare and sipping my coffee.
“So, Feisty? I like it… So what’s your name beautiful.” he said with a chuckle and getting a little closer.
Grabbing the shopping bags, I stood up and walked towards the exit to avoid any scene. I turned around to see the same stranger following me.
Seriously… What’s his problem?
“Hey, beautiful… At least give me your number,” he said with a chuckle and there I had enough. I spun around and death glared in his eyes.
“Can’t you understand a simple word, you a**whole. I said to buzz off or you will be sorry!” I yelled at him.
“Huh… I will be sorry?” He chuckled coming closer. He took me by my waist, holding me closer looking into my eyes. Now I had enough… I kicked him where the sun doesn’t shine and he groaned in pain releasing me.
“Suits you right,” I smirked at him.
“You f**cking w—e…” He groaned in pain.
I smirked and turned around. I walked towards a small gift shop that was just beside the cafe.
I looked through it and found a beautiful necklace. It was a heart-shaped necklace with a small diamond in the center. I looked at the price and it was way too expensive. I still have to save money for my university.
As I left the shop, someone pinned me in the wall. I looked up to see the same stranger whom I have kicked.
“LET ME GO!!” I yelled at him trying my best to free myself from his grip.
“You’re going to pay for what you did,” he smirked getting closer.
I aimed for the same spot where I had kicked before.
“Aah… Not this time beautiful.”
“Let me go… You son of a b**ch.” I spat on his face which made him more furious.
“Shut the f**ck up. You’re coming with me.”
Where is the heck Edan?
“Let her go.” I turned my head to see Edan. His fist clenched and jaw tightened.
“Mind your own business Man… I can handle my little girlfriend.”
“Edan-”
I was mid-sentence when Edan punched him in the face causing him to fall on the floor.
Edan took my hand and we went towards the exit of the mall. As we entered his car, he started the engine. His hands gripping the stirring wheel tightly.
“Aah… Edan?” I whispered seeing him this way. It’s the second time I had seen him this furious.
“Aah… By the way. Thank You.” I whispered.
He nodded and the rest of the drive went silently. I was getting annoyed by this silence.
As we stopped in front of my apartment. I decided to break the silence.
“Edan? Are you okay?” I whispered looking in his direction.
He nodded, still not saying a single word.
What is his problem?
“Aah… Do you want to come in, maybe grab a cup of coffee or juice?” I said getting out of the car.
“Edan… Come on. Ease up a little.” I decided to cheer him up.
“I’m fine… I’m just tired.” With that, he drove away leaving me in complete confusion.
to be continued…….

Chapter Twenty Nine
Emma’s POV.
It’s been four days since Edan took me for shopping. I don’t know what just happened to him but he was acting a little weird that day. During these four days, we haven’t talked a lot beside our professional talk. I tried to talk to him but he was always too busy in his work. I was feeling a little worried about his behavior.
Is he mad at me? Or angry? But why? I hadn’t done anything. I need to know what’s bothering him.
I heard the door open and looked up to see Edan. My heart skipped a beat by looking at him.
Why does my heart do that every time
I see him?
Stupid heart!
“The charity event will start at 4 pm. Be ready by that.” He said in a calm but ordering tune and left my office.
Charity Event? Oh…! I totally forgot.
A charity event was to be held at 16th of November. That means it’s today. I looked at my watch to see the time. I had three hours before the event starts. I hurriedly finish my work and went to my apartment after informing Edan.
Kate was still at work. Her relationship with Jim was getting better and I was happy for her.
At least, someone had found her
happiness.
I looked at my wardrobe to see what to wear for the event.
It should be decent, not too revealing
and comfortable.
I took out three dresses. One was black with a neckline, the other was red which was strapless and the last one was purple which Edan bought me, it had a deep V shape from above and was sleeveless. After looking at them for like half an hour I decided to go for the purple dress. It was simple and I liked it.
I took a shower and shaved my legs and arms. I put on my bathrobe and wrapped my hair in a towel.
I looked at the clock.
“Only half an hour left before the event starts,” I whispered and went into the kitchen to eat something. I drank a glass of juice and ate an apple. I hurriedly changed into my attire and looked myself in the mirror. It showed a little of my cleavage but not too much and it was comfortable. I decided to let my hair fall straight and put on some liner and mascara. I put on my silver and purple 5″ inch heels, put on a thin layer of my strawberry lip gloss and there I was ready.
I dropped my Samsung phone and lip gloss along with some tissue papers
in case of some emergency in my silver clutch. I heard a horn and took a glance at my watch to see exactly 4 pm.
Edan and his punctuality…
To say that I was not nervous would be an understatement. Because I was way too nervous, first because of the event, I had never been to such events. And second, because of Edan. He always makes me nervous, whenever I’m around him, and whenever I’m alone with him.
But you won’t be alone with him in
Charity event… There will be
hundreds of people
I heard another horn and went out of my apartment after locking the door. I was excited to see Edan. But to my dismay… It was not Edan, it was his driver.
Uuh… Why? Poor me!
“Madam, Sir had sent me to pick you up.” He replied and I nodded, getting in.
We stopped in front of Edan’s building. After sometime Edan came out and my silly heart again flipped at the sight of him.
Seriously! Stupid heart! Stop it! I
order you to stop it!
He was looking way too handsome in a black suit. His one hand in his pocket and in another hand he was holding his phone. He was wearing black shades.
He sat beside me and the car started. Hundreds of butterflies started dancing in my stomach and I couldn’t bear to look at him because it seems like he was in a bad mood. I could tell there was something disturbing him.
We stopped in front of a five-star restaurant and the driver opened the door for me. I came out followed by Edan. As soon as we came out of the car, hundreds and thousands of flashes and clicking of cameras started.
It was difficult for me to open my eyes in this much brightness.
Hundreds and thousands of questions were thrown at Edan.
“Mr. Wilton. Who is this girl? Is she your girlfriend?” One of the reporters asked and I instantly looked towards Edan.
However, he didn’t reply and just smirked looking towards me. I could not see his blue eyes because of that black shades he was wearing.
Everyone shouting. “Mr. Wilton. Is she your fiancé.?”
“Mr. Wilton. What is your relationship status now?” And Blah… Blah…
Seriously! What’s their problem? Why
are they involving them in his private
matters? And moreover why they are
suspecting me as his girlfriend or
fiancé?
I was being pushed by the crowds when suddenly a warm hand caught mine and made me escape from that crowd.
I looked up to see Edan. We entered into the hall, Edan still holding my hand. The hall was fully decorated and it looked beautiful. He let go of my hand and I felt a little disappointed.
Emma… Why are you acting this
way? Are you falling in love with him?
Why are you not staying away from
him? Why does your heart want to be
with him? Why are you behaving this
strange? Why?
“This is my PA. Miss James.” I came out of my trance and looked up to see a man who was around 30 looking towards me with a creepy smile.
“Hello. Miss James. I’m Mr. Turner but you can call me Daniel.” He said with that creepy smile and shook hand with me.
When I felt that he was not having any intention to let go of my hand I pulled it away.
“Maybe we can hang out sometime. Miss. James.”
“I-”
“No. Miss. James is not free. We had a really tight schedule.” He said in a rude tune and I looked at him to see his jaw tightened.
“Well. Too bad, but still here’s my card.” He handed me his card and after winking towards me. He went away.
Edan snatched the car from my hand and tore it into two pieces.
“You are no going out with him.” He said in an orderly manner and went towards the table.
What has happened to Edan? Why is
he acting strangely? Why is he
behaving so demanding? Where is
the nice and sweet Edan that made
me laugh , that made me smile? I
want that Edan back…
I swallowed a lump in my throat and went towards the table. I sat beside him. He was talking to a man sitting in front of him.
“I would thank you all for coming to this event. Your presence means a lot to us.” Everyone turned their attention to the person speaking.
“The money which you will donate will be used to diagnose cancer patients. Your money will help those people who think that they cannot survive and they cannot live. The children which are suffering from cancer are our children and it is our duty to help them.” Everyone was listening to him. His speech was really motivating and emotional.
“In the end, I will again personally thank you all for helping our poor children. These children are the shining stars of our country and we are the light of hope for them. Thanks again.”
Everyone clapped and welcomed. After that dinner was served. I was not in the mood to eat, there was only one thing disturbing me.
What the heck is wrong with Edan?
Why is he not talking to me?
I just drank a glass of juice and didn’t eat much.
“Excuse me.” I turned my attention to a young girl.
“Yes?” I inquired politely.
“Are you a PA?”
“Uuh… Yes, I am.” I replied still confused.
“Please follow me.” With that, she turned around and I followed her. She led me to a room which looked like more of a dressing room. There were many women standing. Everyone was looking beautiful. Some of them were wearing too short dresses and some were wearing too revealing. I, on the other hand, looked different from all, for I wasn’t wearing a too revealing dress nor it was too short. My dress reached mid thighs.
“Your number is 20.” The girl said.
Wait… 20? What number?
“What number 20?” I replied with full confusion.
“Your turn is the 20th and last turn.”
“What turn?”
“Haven’t you read the invitation Miss? There is going to be an auction. So be ready.” With that, she rolled her eyes and sashayed out of the room.
I recalled what I read on the invitation.
It is compulsory for all PA’s and
secretaries to participate.
S–t…! So, it was to participate in this d–n auction.
What the hell?
“No. 1” I heard the speaker and the lady which I guess was around 22 went out.
I could hear them saying.
“2000 dollars? 3000 dollars?…. Okay, this beautiful woman is sold to that man for 35,000 dollars for a dance.” For a dance? Oh, thank God. It’s only a dance and I don’t know how to dance so it will not be a biggie.
“And for one night.”
WHAT A Night? A F—–g NIGHT?
No… No… I can’t just spend one
night, one whole f—–g night with a
total stranger. I must get out of
here… But how?
I looked around to see if I could escape from this room. But there was no way out, people were everywhere. And moreover, I don’t know anything about this place. I may get lost in here. Aah… Where I had trapped myself
“No. 10.” By and by the room started to empty and now only two of the girls were left.
What if nobody wants to buy me. Well… That will surely be a relief.
Because I’m not as beautiful and
sexy as other girls. So, I may escape
from this. Luckily… I hope… Oh,
God… Help me.
“No. 20.” Well… Here goes everything.
With shaking legs I went out on the stage.
“So for Miss. James. Shall we start from 1500 dollars.? Anyone?”
Oh… Please. Just don’t buy me. I’m
hideous. You won’t get anything from
me.
“I’ll buy it.” Mr. Turner said grinning.
S–t
Oh, No…! Not him… Anyone but him.
“I’ll give 2500” came another voice and I turned my head to see no other than Mr. Brown.
Double s–t!
“4000 dollars.” Came another voice.
And this thing went like forever.
“6000 dollars.” Mr. Turner said smirking, looking at me.
I just hate him…
“8000 dollars.” This time Mr. Brown said.
Come on old man. Look at your age.
“10,000 dollars.”
S–t!
“30,000 dollars.”
“WOW… 30,000 dollars? Is there anyone who can give more?” The person standing beside me said into the microphone.
“70,000 dollars.” Mr. Brown said and Mr. Turner raised his hand in defeat.
F–k you!
No! No…! I’m going to be sold to Mr.
Brown. I was on the verge of crying.
Please, not that bastard…
“Okay. This young lady is being sold to-”
“100,000 dollars.” A voice interrupted the announcement and everyone looked in that direction.
There I saw Edan standing, his hands in his pockets and he was leaning against the wall.
“120,000 dollars.”
Seriously old man… Quit it.
“200,000 dollars,” Edan stated, still in a calm posture.
Thank god. There didn’t come a big amount than this.
“Okay. This young Lady is sold to Mr. Wilton. Now you may have your dance partners and enjoy.” With that light become dim and a slow music started to play.
Still, on the verge of crying, I headed towards Edan. I was so scared, my heart beating faster and it felt like it will stop any minute now. What would have happened to me if I was being sold to that old Brown or to that Turner? This mere thought makes me shiver with fear.
I came closer to Edan. He was standing, looking at me. He was not wearing his black shades anymore.
I went closer and there I could not control anymore. I hugged him, my hands encircled around his waist and my head on his chest and some tears managed to escape from my eyes. I sobbed slightly, not looking at him. I was afraid of the situation which could possibly happen. They both give me negative vibes.
I felt Edan’s arm encircled around me and he kissed on my head.
“Emma… Stop crying. You are safe now. I will never ever let that happen. You are only MINE.” Edan said kissing on my head and I sniffled.
“Let’s go home.” He said and took my hand. We escaped from the back door. His driver was waiting there for us.
I was so glad that I was with Edan and not that bastards. But one thing was sure, I am never ever going to such charity events again.
to be continued……

chapter thirty
Emma’s POV.
We escaped from the back door of the hall, where that charity event was being held. I was embarrassed by how vulnerable I looked in front of him. He must be thinking that I’m such a crybaby but I can’t help it.
I was far more scared, after that scene with Den. I saw lust in their eyes and I believed, it was not a good sign. So, I am glad that I was with Edan now. For the first time, I was this much relieved. At least he gave me that sense of security…
I looked outside the car while Edan was sitting beside me, still holding my hand. His mere touch was so healing and it always seems to ease me a little.
I looked towards my surroundings.
This place… It’s not the way to my
apartment. Where are we going?
“Edan? We are not going in the right direction.” I said still looking outside.
Where are we heading?
“Yes, We are.” He stated in a calm tune.
“No, we are not. This is not the way to my apartment.” I retorted.
“Your apartment? Who said we’re going to yours.”
“What? What do you mean by that? But you—”
“Well, let me remind you, my sweet Emma. You are mine for the whole night.” My head turned towards him in an instant.
Is he kidding? He got to be kidding
me…
“You are kidding. Right?” I said with a little fear. It’s not like I haven’t spend a night with him. It’s just I don’t want to spend another night with him. What if I get attached to him? I’m afraid that one day what if I fall for him? What if I fall in love? Love… No!
“No. You are taking me to my apartment.” I said, pleading him with my eyes.
Please, Edan! Don’t make this hard
for me. I don’t want to put your life in
misery. Please.
“No. You’re coming with me.” He stated in a final order.
“But—”
“Ssh…” He said while lifting my chin, so my eyes meet with him.
Ooh! Those eyes… There my
weakness. Why Edan? Why are you
doing this to me? Why your eyes has to be that affected!
“Understood?” His eyes still looking into mine. I want to say, I want to tell him No. But my stupid head nodded in a Yes. Uuuh…
After some time, we reached his building. I followed him towards the elevator that opened in his penthouse. Still, the same as I
remember…
He went to the couch and threw his jacket and necktie on it. I stood there still, not knowing what to do.
“Are you hungry?” I looked at Edan to see he was asking that question.
Yes, I was way too hungry. I haven’t eaten anything in the event too.
“A little,” I replied, looking down.
“As I thought. Maria! set the table for two.” He said to an elderly woman standing in the kitchen and she nodded.
After refreshing a bit, we went to the table. Edan sitting in front of me. I looked at my food and started eating along with Edan.
We both not uttering a single word. Only the noise of clattering of spoon with the plate could be heard.
Tell him about your admission in
university… My conscience reminded me.
I looked at him, his eyes fixed on mine. As soon as my eyes met with him, I instantly looked away.
No. I couldn’t tell him now. He
seemed to be in a bad mood. But you
have to tell him, but maybe not today.
After finishing our meals, we went in the living room.
“Maria, you can go for now,” Edan ordered her and she nodded. After giving a smile to me, she left. That means Edan and me are alone.
Alone… My heart skipped a beat at this.
I sat on the couch. What now? What
should I do?
I looked around to see there were some pictures hanging on the wall. I haven’t seen them before. You
haven’t noticed them before. Well, of course, I haven’t. I hadn’t paid much attention to his penthouse.
Suddenly a slow music started playing in the background. I turned my attention to the source and looked around to see Edan standing in his white shirt. His above three buttons opened showing his muscular chest. I couldn’t help but gulp at the sight of him. His muscles bulging from his shirt.
How could someone be that sexy
Is it even possible? Of course… There
is a live example in front of you.
“Are you going to remain there and admire me?” I came out of my trance by his husky voice and looked at him. He was smirking. I instantly blushed after realizing that I had been caught red-handed while I was checking on him.
What is wrong with me? Snap out,
Emma…
He moved towards me and I stood up from the couch. He stopped just a few inches from me. We both looking in each other eyes. Instantly the lights were dimmed and the volume of the low romantic music was increased. And in the next moment, I was in Edan’s arms. My cheeks got all shades of red.
“You owe me a dance. You know that. Right?” He whispered in a seductive tone in my ear.
Dance? No, I can’t…
“I can’t dance,” I stated the truth.
“Not a problem. Let’s have some dance lessons then.” He again whispered seductively and lead me to follow his steps. His one hand on my waist while other on my thigh and my both hands automatically moved around his neck. Our gaze locked on each other. During this time I stepped on his shoes two times but thankfully he didn’t complain.
And in no time, I was swaying my body according to the music. Our bodies following a beautiful rhythm. This was the most romantic moment of my life and for the first time, I don’t want to end this. Our gaze interlocked, there was something strange in his eyes, something I haven’t seen before.
I placed my head on his muscular bare chest, whilst his hold got stronger around my waist bringing me closer his body if that’s even possible. I could hear his heart beat fast as mine. I had forgotten the joy and happiness hidden in dancing, and Edan has helped me to finally realize it. I don’t want to part away from him right now.
My eyes started to drop heavily and I don’t know when I fall asleep on his chest.
Edan’s POV.
I looked down when I heard the soft breathing of Emma. I guess she had slept on my chest, I looked at her, I haven’t seen anyone like her. She was looking so beautiful and sexy in that dress, and the thing which I liked the most was that she was wearing the dress, I had bought for her.
She just drives me insane. She had become my addiction and a strong addiction. I’m addicted to her. I know this is not good but I can’t help it, I’m not gonna give up on her.
I’m going to make her MINE… Only mine.

.
I gently lifted her up and went towards my bedroom. I placed her gently on the bed and she stirred. Her eyes opened up gently, looking into mine. I kissed her forehead. I could tell she wasn’t comfortable in that dress. I walked to my closet and took out a black button up shirt and handed to her.
“Wear this. You will feel comfortable.” With that, I headed towards the washroom.
After doing my business, I came out and headed towards the bed. As I laid on the bed, I couldn’t help but think about the beautiful woman lying beside me.
I turned my head to see Emma’s face towards mine. She wasn’t asleep but looking towards me.
“Thanks.”
“For giving you a shirt?” I asked.
“No. I mean… Yes… I mean… Not for this… I mean…” She stuttered and I chuckled.
“I mean thanks for everything, for saving me, for that amazing dance and for—”
“Hush…” I cut her sentence and drew her closer.
“Edan. Thanks for everything…” She whispered and rested her head on my shoulder. She nuzzled deeper and my heart accelerated. It was like I had won something great, something beautiful. There I know, my feelings for her. I exactly know what I really felt for her, and now I want to tell her.
“Emma?” I whispered.
“Hmm?”
“You-You’re my everything… And I-I-I know you may not be ready for this… But… I couldn’t hold it in. The more I keep it in… The more it hurts me. I want to get it out now. I’m tired of hiding it.” I started in a calm and slow voice.
It’s quite difficult… I haven’t done this
before to anyone.
“Uhm…” She said while nuzzling more.
I decided to continue. I’m going to get this out…
“Emma.”
“I-I L-Love you.” There I said it. It was hard.

Chapter Thirty One
Emma’s POV.
I opened my eyes and adjusted them to the light in the room. Where am I? I looked at my surroundings. Oh! It’s
Edan’s room. Speaking of Edan, I had the craziest and weirdest dream of my life. But you like it somehow…
Yes, I kinda like it. The thought of that words from Edan’s mouth made my heart flip. My cheeks got red by only thinking about them.
Oh boy! What a dream!
I turned my head to see Edan sleeping peacefully, his arm wrapped around my small waist and his head rested on my chest, using it as a pillow. He looked so adorable and cute just like a small child. A smile crept across my lips by looking at him.
I gently removed his arm from my waist and placed his head gently on the soft pillow. I stepped down the bed and after giving him a kiss on his forehead, I went to the washroom.
After doing my business and washing my hands, I headed towards the bed. I looked at the clock and it was 7:00 am.
7:00 am? O h!! We’re gonna be late for
work…
I quickly headed towards Edan and shook him to wake him up.
“Edan! Come on, wake up! We’re gonna be late… Edan! Come on…” I shook him harder.
Oh, God! He is a heavy sleeper…
I shook him even harder this time.
Come on! Get up…
He stirred a little but still didn’t get up.
Now what? What should I do?
Aaha! I’ve got a brilliant plan…
I smiled at my stupid, childish plan.
Edan! Now you’re in a deep trouble…
I got on top of him, my knees on both sides of his stomach.
Shall we start??
I started tickling on his stomach, and he stirred at first then start laughing. I tickled harder this time, smiling at him.
“Okay… Okay… I’m up…” He said between laughs and raised his hands in surrender. I started laughing along with him. After catching my breath I looked into his eyes. His eyes roaming on my body.
S–t! I forgot what I’m wearing… Oh
Crap!
I was wearing only a black button up shirt, whose upper two buttons were open showing my lacy purple bra and below the shirt, I was only wearing panties. And the most awkward thing, I was sitting on his stomach with my both legs on his each side and my hair were falling on my face.
My cheeks warm up and I hurriedly get down from him, hoping to hide from the embarrassment.
Oh! It’s so embarrassing…
As I was going to move to somewhere to hide, my hand got pulled and in the second blink of an eye I found myself again on the bed but this time, Edan was on top of me. My breath got hitched up by the intimate close distance of ours.
Edan was only wearing his boxers. I could see his hard muscular chest, his well-built figure, his muscles and his six packs.
Oh my God! Pull it together Emma…
I gulped my own saliva and met his eyes.
“Care to tell me why you had woken me up so early.” He said in a morning sexy voice.
I couldn’t speak, it was like my lips had been zipped or something. I could just stare into his beautiful blue eyes.
“Aren’t you going to tell me.”
I found my voice and tried to reply it but it didn’t come out much like a proper sentence.
“Late you work for.”
Oh Crap! Why my tongue just got
twisted? Why does he make me
nervous? Why am I not myself when
I’m around him?
I heard him chuckle. “Well, let me remind you, my sweet Emma. Today is Saturday. That means no work.”
S–t! How could I forget that.? D–n
Emma… You had just made a fool
out of your own self.
I bite my lower lip, and in an instant, Edan lips crashed on mine. He kissed me first gently and then possessively. He asked for entrance which I gladly gave him. Our tounges moving in a rhythm, both trying to take the upper hand but Edan won it.
He started kissing me on my jawline. I tried my best to suppress the moan but I wasn’t able to do so when he kissed on my sensitive spot behind my ear. His hands went under my shirt, trailing on my stomach in a circular motion. Whilst he trailed kisses on my neck and then on the top of my cleavage. I moaned louder this time.
“You are so f—–g beautiful Emma.” He said between the kisses and I grabbed his soft hair. His hand moving up from my stomach and rested in between my cleavage.
“You have just tempted me up. You had ignited the fire in me, Emma.”
What? Ignite the fire? Tempted him?
He moved back to my lips, while his one hand playing with the strap of my bra which had become visible because the shirt had slid down from my shoulder.
“Emma. Make me stop. I can’t control it.” Edan whispered huskily still kissing my collarbone.
I moaned louder and I wanted to tell him not to stop. But I am not ready for this. I have to stop him, to stop me. But how?
Suddenly the ring of my phone disturbed our hot make-out session. I hurriedly accepted it, not even bothering to see who is the one calling.
“Hello,” I said heavily panting.
“Emma? Are you okay dear?”
Oh S–t! It’s mom.
“Yeah. I’m fine mum. How come you called this early.” I was still breathing heavily due to that hot kiss. It felt like I could still feel Edan’s lips on mine. I touched my swollen lips.

“You don’t sound like okay… Are you having a fever? A cold? A bad headache?”
“Mom! I’m fine.” I need to get away from Edan. His mere presence is making me nervous and I can’t help but blush when I thought about our hot make-out session.
Oh, My God….! That was hot. Wait…
What did I just said? Ooh God, I’m
not in my right mind right now…
“Emma? Hello! Are you still there?”
S–t! I zoned out again.
“Yes, Mum. I’m listening.” I said while standing up from the bed to escape from Edan. As I stood up, my hand was being pulled and I let out a shriek. My back hitting the soft mattress of the bed.
“Emma? What happened?” My mom asked worriedly.
I looked at Edan who was on top of me again. He was grinning showing his perfect white teeth.
Uuuh… This Jerk.
“Mom. I’m fine. J-Just f-flipped a little on the floor. N-No need to worry.” I panted heavily.
A mischievous glint passed through his eyes.
Oh, No. What he’s planning to do.?
Edan gave the answer to my unspoken question when he drew closer and started kissing lightly on my jawline.
What he’s doing? He’s gonna put me
in deep trouble…
I pushed him away but he was so strong. Oh Gosh! What he’s made
of
“So Emma. I wanted to just ask you about your university and about Edan. Well, you know…” My mom started.
“Yes?” I couldn’t get my mind to what she was saying because I was so getting distracted by this sexy beast.
I bit back a moan when his lips moved to my neck.
Edan… Please stop.
“So have you told Edan, about your admission.?”
My admission? No, I haven’t.
“Mom. I-I really—” I can’t even speak the full sentence because of this jerk who was kissing me and distracting me.
“I really need to go. I-I’ll talk to you later. Bye… Love Ya!” With that, I hung up. Now, to deal with him.
I pushed him again and thankfully he let me go but he laid beside me and pulled me closer by my waist. My back facing his chest.
“I really enjoyed that.” He said referring to the game he had played with me.
“Oh, shut up. You jerk. You could have put me in a deep trouble.” I pouted.
“Well. I loved it.” He chuckled and I rolled my eyes at his cockiness.
We spent our all day cuddling and teasing each other. I couldn’t deny this fact that I actually liked it.
Who are you kidding Emma? You
loved it. Right?
Aah… I still don’t know about that…
Well, I could say it was a day worth remembering.
At the end of the day, Edan dropped me at my place and after sharing our last amazing, mind-blowing kiss. He said the weirdest thing.
“See you on Monday. Love.” And after giving me one last kiss, he headed towards his car.
I couldn’t move an inch. Did he just call me love? Was it not a dream? Did Edan seriously say I love you to me? Or it was my dream? Or it was real? Oh No! This is getting all messed up.
What’s going on? I’m totally
confused.
Had Edan fallen for me? For me? But why? It’s kinda impossible. I’m nothing… My life is a bad luck. I couldn’t find happiness. How someone that handsome, that sexy can fall for me? I need to find there answers.

Chapter Thirty Three
Emma’s POV.
I love you, Emma.
I love you.
I cannot come to ease without
having you around.
I cannot get you out of mind.
These words…
These words said by Edan keep on ringing in my mind. During that night when I stayed there when he said those words. I thought it was a dream. A beautiful dream though…
But with that dream, it also became my greatest fear. I was afraid; what if it became the reality? What if Edan confessed to me? What will I do? And that fear did become true. It became reality.
A reality that no one could deny now. Not even me. No matter how hard I try to forget him, how hard I try to not think about him but in the end, I fail. Always end up by remembering his heart twisting words, His breath-taking blue eyes. His smile, the way his one look makes me go weak in my knees. The way his every word made my heart beats faster.
I am getting confused. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what to even say, Hell! I don’t even know how
to react…
I don’t know how to face Edan after that. What if he asked me about my feelings for him? I don’t think I can answer it. My feelings for him are all messed up. It is a mess!
Oh God! Where I have gotten myself
into
Right now, I don’t know what type of emotions I am entrapped with…
I don’t know; should I cry? Should I cry on my luck? Should I cry about my feelings? Should I be angry?
Angry on Edan… Angry on him to make my heart ache again because of these feelings. After four years… After those heartbreaking years, I finally was able to move on with my life.
I vowed to myself, made a promise to myself not to fall for a guy again. Not to get entrapped in the game of love. But here I’m; again falling for a guy, again feeling those overwhelmed feelings which I once experienced four years ago. Now, I’m getting tired of all these. I’m getting tired of these shitty feelings. I want to have a break from these feelings.
I don’t know what to do… I just want
to cry.
******
Edan’s POV.
When I woke up at noon, I found my bed empty. Looks like Emma left when I was still asleep. A wave of disappointment hit me. I was disappointed to see the side of the bed beside me empty. Today in the morning I again confessed my feelings to her. For the first time I confessed to her that night, it was an amazing night. We danced and for the first time I saw a hint of calmness and mixed emotions on her face.
I still remember her expression when we danced. At first, she was shocked but as soon as she was enveloped in my embrace, her muscles relaxed. She became calm and a wave of relief flooded through her face.
When she placed her head on my chest; I felt my muscles getting tense, my body becoming warm, my heart accelerated and when I saw her in that charity gala. I had to keep back the urge to kiss her senselessly.
My blood boiled at the thought of her with another man. At the stage during the auction, she was pretty nervous. She was caught off guard. I had never felt this strange feeling, never ever felt such thing in my entire life which I felt at that time. The time at which that old bastard Charles Brown tried to take Emma. At that time I knew that my feelings cannot be suppressed anymore.
No one has ever affected me like this. I don’t give a f–k about the women’s whom I f—-d and here I was caring for a woman, a woman who had taken my breath away. A woman whom I’m afraid to let go, a woman whose mere presence makes my heart go wild. I tried to suppress my feelings, tried to hide them but I failed and in the end, I surrender myself in front of my feelings.
Love?
Love! A strange word. A small but a strong word. A word with only four
letters but its meaning greater than
everything.
Love! I had never thought in my wildest dreams that one day I’ll be saying those words to a woman. To me, word love never existed. To me, to love someone looked really impossible. I thought I wouldn’t find love. I never thought that I would say I love you to anyone. I used to laugh at my friends when they would talk about their love life. To me, it was only a game. To f–k a girl and then leave her. In my dictionary, the word care and love never existed.
But then she came. She changed my life entirely. It is true that at first I just wanted to f–k her and nothing more but then my feelings got stronger. In a month she got me wrapped up in her fingers. Which I would have never imagined happening.
She just got me so out of my control with at least no effort. I’m still confused that how come I fall in love with a woman, how come I fall for a woman.
I love the way she makes me feel, I love the way she acts strong. No women in my entire life had challenged me like Emma. She is so confident, even though she may be nervous from inside but from outside, she always proved herself as a challenger, a challenger ready to take any challenge.
She is an interesting person. She has different sides. At one time she is all feisty, and another time, a totally sweet and loving person, a kind and caring person. I’m going to explore her every side slowly and slowly.
She hasn’t said anything since I confessed to her. I don’t even know if she feels the same way or not. It’s okay if she doesn’t feel that way because I’m not going to surrender. I’m going to fight for her, for us. I’m going to try my best to make her feel the same thing.
I’m going to teach her how to love. Even if, I have to start it from the scratch. Maybe she had a bad experience in love, maybe she is afraid to fall for it again. But me being the stubborn a-s as I am, I will make Emma experience such love which she’ll never forget. I’ll take her pain away, I’ll take her heartache away, I’ll make it sure that the only heartache she experiences is of happiness.
I’ll make her mine, even if I have to take it slowly. I’ll make her believe in love, I’ll make her believe in herself, in us. I’ll take slow and steady steps and in the end, she will be my Emma.
The ring of my phone broke my trance. Without lookin’ the ID, I picked up.
“Hello!”
“Mr. Wilton?”
“Yes. It’s me.” I replied curtly.
“I’m Lious.” A serious manly voice replied.
“Lious who?”
“Miss James’s bodyguard. You hired me.” Aah… Lious. I remember.
“Any problem?” I asked seriously.
“Miss James had refused to take any security. She said she needs her own privacy and told me that she had talked to you about this. So, boss now I’m free. Where is my next duty?”
What the hell?? She said that? She is
so darn stubborn… Why can’t she
understand that it’s for her own
safety? That woman.
“I’ll tell you later.” With that, I hunged up and groan in frustration.
I need to talk to Emma.
****
Emma’s POV.
I groaned when I heard my phone ring. Without even glancing at the screen, I answered the call. Look like while crying, I went in a deep sleep.
Still remembering those blue eyes…
“Hello…” I said with a yawn.
“EMMA!” An angry voice startled me and I sat up straight on my bed. Am I
dreaming? Is it a dream? Or I’m
dreaming of him?
“Emma! What had you done?” His voice still angry.
“What?” My sleep just vanished and now I was fully awake.
“What did you say to Lious?”
Oh no, he knows…
D–n!!!
“I-I…” I started but then stop, don’t know what to say.
“Emma! You know that it’s for your own safety.” Edan argued.
I know it’s for my own safety. But still…
“I’m hiring Lious again.”
“But Edan! I don’t need one. I-”
“That’s final Emma!” He snapped and not even listened to me.
My temper started to rise. How could he? It’s my life. Who is he to do that?
“I hate you Edan. Hate you. You’re so…so…so…”
I don’t know what to say. I huffed in anger.
How could he?
“So handsome? So sexy? So hot?” Edan replied with a chuckle and my cheeks warmed up.
How his words affect me…
“Yay! Dream on. But I still hate you. How could you?”
“Don’t worry Love. You will love me sooner or later till then remember it, I
Love You. And it’s for your own safety.” Again those three words…
Those words, they make my heart beat faster with mixed emotions, with something I can’t define.
Edan’s making it difficult for me…
Without saying anything further, I disconnected the call.
I need to get rid of these stupid
feelings. In the end, they will just hurt
me. I don’t believe in these feelings.
Den also used to say those words every day. He also used to show me his love. I believed in him, I believed in love then but I ended up being a broken mess. I wasn’t able to get over it. But after 1 year, with the help of my parents, I was able to get up. I vowed to myself to never fall for this love games.
But… Emma! You know Edan is not
like him. He cares for you in real.
Accept it.
An inner voice of mine argued with me. Maybe he’s not like Den. Maybe he cares for me. Maybe he really loves me.
But still… It’s hard to believe. I have only known him for a month. I need more time to think about this. I need a break from this. I need more time.
Time… That’s all I’m asking.
Right now, I don’t know what to do. I just don’t know.
******
I heard a knock on my door.
“Come in,” I replied. After thinking about him for a whole day, thinking about these stupid feelings of mine for a day. I decided in the end that I need time. I cannot give him any response yet…
“Emma? Are you okay? You haven’t eaten anything since morning. Are you ill?” Kate said as she sat on my bed.
“No, not at all. I’m alright. I’m feeling great. I kind of overslept and wasn’t in a mood to eat something. But now I’m starving. So what you have made today?” I said trying to cheer up our mood little. I had just taken a shower, it really helped me to get a little relax and calm.
“I had made pot roast. But since Violet is coming for a sleepover, I’m going to order some pizza.”
Yeah! Today, Violet was coming. We had decided it last week.
“That’s great.” I smiled.
I heard our doorbell and looked like she was here.
“I think she’s here,” Kate said and went to open our door and I followed her. I was already in my PJ’s.
Violet hugged me. “How are you?”
“I’m great. You tell me. Everything’s okay with Kev?” I said while winking.
Did I tell Violet and Kevin were together? Its been a week.
Violet’s cheek warmed up and a deep red color crept on her cheeks.
“Well, I think there is something you haven’t told uussss….” Kate grinned.
“Definitely something… Hm?” I smiled and elbowed Violet gently.
“Okay. Okay. I’ll tell but first, can we eat something? I’m starvin’.” We laughed and went to the couch.
Kate ordered a large pizza with extra topping and after half an hour we got our pizza. We laughed, teased each other and cracked some jokes. I really enjoyed our girls time.
We decided to watch movies. After watching at least 3 movies. We decided to play a game. We all settled in playing truth and dare.
The first turn was mine. Great…
“So Emma, truth or dare?” They asked in unison.
“Truth. I’m not going to do any crazy dare of yours.”
It’s true. I know very well that what type of crazy dare they could give me. After all, they are my crazy girlfriends, the continuous chatterboxes and I love them as they are.
“Uuuh… Truth? We had planned a really good dare for you. Emma, choose dare.” Kate said and Violet nodded with a glint of mischieve in her eyes.
I nodded a big No. I’m not going to go for a dare.
“Fine. Now answer this question truthfully.” Violet said with a smirk.
Oh , No. Emma! Looks like you are
trapped.
“Do you” she paused for a minute looking straight into my eyes.
“Do you like Mr. Wilton?” My heart sped up as my cheeks started radiating heat out of them.
“I don’t know. I haven’t met him. He’s Edan’s father, right?” I tried to play innocent but deep down I was drowning in nervousness.
Oh god! Help me!
“No. Silly! I didn’t mean that. I mean do you like Edan?” Violet said while cocking an eyebrow.
“I’m pretty sure, the answer is no. A big NO. She hates him. She really hates his guts.” Kate replied for me and my muscles relaxed.
Thank God! You are a life saver Kate.
I sighed in relief but this relief didn’t last for more than 1 minute.
“I’m not asking you, Kai. Emma! tell me. I want a clear answer.” Violet smirked and looked at me waiting for my answer.
Hell!!! I don’t even know what to say.
D–n it. Why I always end up being
entrapped.
When I took more time to reply. Kate looked at me suspiciously.
“Emma? Answer? Oh my! I’m starting to think otherwise.” Kate said. Her eyes looking at me wide open as she drew closer and her mouth hung open.
“Exactly.” Violet crossed her arms and smiled showing her teeth.
“Emma? Answer the question truthfully.” Kate said.
“I-I….”
My heart beating faster. My cheeks warming up. My hands started shaking.
What should I say? Should I tell them
I hate him? But then that would be a
lie. I don’t wanna lie but… What
should I do?
Crap!
to be continue

Chapter Thirty Four
Emma’s POV.
“Emma? Answer that question.” Kate demanded.
“I-I-I… ” I don’t know how to say that.
D–n it! I’m not even sure about my
own feelings. How can I answer that?
I’m not able to answer my own
question. How can I answer their
question.?
Why in the hell, I even agreed to play
this stupid game
“You-You?” Violet said with a smirk.
I seriously want to wipe that smirk off her face. How could she do that? She gave this question.
“Emma? For God Sake… Just answer that d–n question. We are dying here with curiosity.” Kate was definitely losing her control, but for Violet, she was calm as if she knew already about this.
Does she?
“Okay. Fine.” I inhaled deeply.
Here goes nothing. I’m going to
answer this question. Relax. Don’t
need to get fed up. Relax Emma.
For God sake Emma! Why are you
even acting this way? It’s a simple
question idiot. Just answer that.
Okay. I’m going to answer it.
“Y-e-s?” I said merely a whisper. It came out much like a question.
“Oh my god! How it just happen? When you even start liking him? How far have you gone? Did he kiss you? Did you kiss him? Did you go on a date? Well, of course, you haven’t. I would have known if you had gone with him. Seriously, don’t tell me, you did go on a date with your sexy, hot boss and didn’t tell me. Oh my God! Emma! Don’t tell me you! Did you both make out?”
“NO!” I instantly answered. She just won’t stop asking those questions. Kate had gone out of control now and She was constantly blabbing about this thing.
“I knew it. I had a hunch that something was going on between you. Well, look like I just proved my point.” Violet smiled.
How did she even had a hunch about
it? I didn’t tell anyone. Hell!! I didn’t
know it myself. I had myself just
known these strange feelings
recently.
“You knew? Why didn’t you tell me?” Kate pouted looking at Violet and I was all confused.
“Kai! Just think about it. Would you have believed me, if I had told you about it earlier? D–n! I wasn’t even sure about it myself. So, I thought Emma should tell us by herself.” She smiled and Kate nodded.
“So, tell us, Emma. How did you even start liking him? I know he is every women’s dream. Every woman wants him. Even little girls have a crush on him. Oh! I remember something. Did I tell you about a girl who was having Edan’s picture in her hands?” Kate shook a no.
Well, I wasn’t interested, the only thing that I was thinking was how to give them their answers? I knew there is going to be a lot of questions.
“It’s kind of funny. Okay. Once I was in a supermarket buying some grocery. I saw a girl, crying to her mommy. She was demanding for something, I came closer to her to see she was demanding not for just
something but someone. And you know who that someone was? Well, take a good guess. It was our very own sexy boss. That girl was holding Edan’s pic. And her words were
Mommy! I want him. I love him, I
want to marry him. Mommy! He’s my
Prince. Mommy! I want him, I want
him. Pleasseeee Mommmyyy
Pleaaassseee. ” Violet mimicked the little girl’s voice, trying to act like a girl. And for Kate, well, she was laughing her a-s off.
“And her Mommy was like No, dear!
You’re so young now. He is not your
Prince charming. You will get your
Prince when you’ll grow up. But that stubborn little brat, keep on demanding for him as if he was a toy to get. She started crying.” Violet told us about that little girl and Kate was really enjoying that story. But for me, I was lost in my tracks of thought.
After laughing and chatting for some time. Their attention again drew towards me.
“So, Emma. You were telling us?”
“So, you like him. How far have you gone in your this secret relationship? Huh?” Violet wriggled her eyebrows.
“We haven’t gone any far. I-I don’t know much about us. I’m full on confused. I-I don’t know, I-I am not sure of these s-strange feelings that I’m feeling. I just don’t have any idea, what to do. I… I… I just want to get away from these shitty feelings. I-I don’t wanna feel. I want a break. Please, just help me get rid of these feelings. They hurt me from inside. I don’t wanna feel these feelings.” I didn’t notice when I started crying, tears escape my eyes one by one, wetting my cheeks.
“Oh, Emma! Don’t push yourself so hard. It’s okay. Its okay for you to feel. Everyone falls in love. You should give it a try.” Kate hugged me, saying those words to make me feel better.
“Kai is definitely right. Emma don’t push yourself so hard. Let it happen. You like Edan, right! So, why don’t you just give it a try? Everyone needs someone to be her prince charming. Everyone needs someone to love her, cherish her and treasure her. What if you two are meant to be together? What if it was written in your fate to find each other, to be one another’s side?”
Violet really think that I could find love, but she didn’t know the reality. The reality that I could never find love. For me, the word Love don’t exist.
“Thanks for all of this, but for me love don’t exist.” I simply replied.
“Emma! Are you an idiot or something? What the hell do you mean that love doesn’t exist for you? What are we to you? What the hell is your family to you? Don’t we love you? Don’t you love us?” Violet snapped at me.
She is right. I do love my family, I do
love my friends. So, that means I’m
capable of being in love.
I nodded towards her. ” I love you all. You all mean everything to me. I love you all from the bottom of my heart. I don’t even know, how I would have lived without you all.” I hugged them and they hugged me in return.
“But you know, this love isn’t the same thing for Edan. Love is of different kinds. The love for family and friends is totally different from the kind of love you experience in a relationship.” I replied.
“But the basis of this all kinds of love is one. You know that, right?” I agreed with them both. They both are right. I wiped my tears and gave them a heartwarming smile.
“So, what about you and Kevin?” I sniffed and smile. Violet instantly turn red.
“Come on. Tell us.” Kate smiled nudging her with her elbow.
She smiled and told us about her and Kevin. She was glowing and the love she felt for Kevin was evident in her eyes. She looked so calm and cheerful. She looked happy.
“He kissed me. That kiss, Oh my God! Was the best kiss I ever had. It felt like a dream. I love the kiss.” Violet sighed dreamily.
We both chuckled at her sigh.
“So, Emma. Tell us about you and Edan.”
My eyes got wide open.
“Well. There is nothing much.” I started playing with my fingers. A habit of nervousness.
“From the start. Don’t you dare leave, any juicy details.” Violet winked.
“Okay,” I told them, everything from the start. The day I entered in his office to that day when he said me I
Love You. I can’t help to refrain myself from heating up. My cheeks warm up as a smile makes its way to my lips whenever I would say his name.
“So much happened between you two and you didn’t tell us? How could you be that cruel? I thought we were best friends.” There they go again, trying to blackmail me emotionally.
“I told you. I wasn’t even sure about my own feelings. How could I tell you?” I tried to reason with them.
“It’s okay. We were just teasing you.”
I let out a chuckle and we again enveloped in a big hug.
“So, are you going to give it a try? Are you ready to let your feelings lead you?” I don’t know if I was ready or not.
“The truth is; I don’t know. I’m afraid to again fall for anyone. What if I ended up being a broken mess again? What if it is a game? What if I’m the pawn in his little love game? I’m afraid of all this. I cannot afford another heartbreak.” I lowered my head.
“What do you mean again?” Oops! My
tongue slipped.

Chapter Thirty Five
—
Emma’s POV.
With a heart filled with emotions that I couldn’t describe. I stepped into the building. I don’t know how to face him.
Let your feelings lead you…
It’s okay for you to fall in love…
Everyone needs someone to be her
prince charming, a knight in a
shining armor.
Maybe you both were destined to
meet…
These words from our last night conversation kept on playing in my mind. Maybe they both are right…
I should give it a try… Should I??
Yes! I’m not going to step back. I’m
going to teach my heart to love
again.
But what if I ended up being hurt?
What if I ended up broken? I should
step back. It’s not late now.
I’m not ready yet. I made up my mind and entered his office.
He was sitting in his usual seat, wearing a black suit. His head creased in a frown while he was going through a file. He looked so sexy like that, so hot.
Wait! Snap out! You are falling for his
tricks…
Falling? Haven’t you already fallen?
Uuh! Shut up!
I was internally arguing when his eyes met mine. My heart did a flip and my stomach twisted.
Stop that. Stupid heart!
He stood up and with long strides, he was standing right in front of me. And in a flash, I was crashed into his warm body. My cheeks warmed up along with my own body. My heart skipped a beat and butterflies invaded my stomach.
Why I’m feeling this way? It’s getting
difficult.
“I missed you.” His breath tickling my ear, his voice husky.
“Why did you leave?” His arm pulling me more to his body until no more space was left between us.
“I-I had t-to…” I found my voice and replied.
“Why can’t you just stay with me? I want to be with you every time… I want you. I want you to be the first thing when I rise up and the last thing when I fall asleep.”
I want you…
His words. Oh my God! How can I describe? They affect me in the most different way. And my heart welled up with some unique, different emotions.
“I need to do work,” I whispered whilst releasing me from the hug.
I need to get out of here before I surrender myself in front of my feelings.
I headed towards my office without even glancing at him. I’m not ready yet.
I sat on my seat and placed my head in my hands.
Different emotions invading me.
“Edan! Why are you hurting me? Why are you making my heart feel again? Why are you making it difficult for me? Why me? I’m no more special… I’m just an ordinary girl with a horrible experience. I’m pure bad luck…” I cried. I cried remembering the past, remembering the hatred.
I didn’t notice anyone’s presence, I was busy in crying my heart out. I felt a firm grip on my arm and in a swift I was pulled up from my seat and into a hard muscular chest.
There was no need for me to see that person’s face because from that cologne, from the feeling that I was experiencing. I know right there who he was. It was the guy who is responsible for all of this, he was behind all my feelings.
“Hush!” He soothed my pain. His hands gently brushing my hair.
I hate him! I hate him for making me
feel again. I hate these feelings. I
don’t want to feel.
“Why Edan? Why me? Why had you chosen me to be a part of your love game? W-Why? W-What have I done? Why I’m the one suffering from this? Edan! Please make these feelings go away. Please… I’m begging you. I want to get rid of these feelings… Please leave me. There are probably a number of girls out there, even beautiful than me.” I cried in his shirt. My hands clenching his shirt tightly.
His breath fastens.
“E-Edan! They hurt me. I’m no good to you.” He didn’t reply, and my mouth; it won’t just stop now. My tongue rolling those words on its own accord. I can’t control my sentences, my words that were rolling on my tongue.
“Emma I can’t. I just can’t leave you. It hurts me to leave you. I can’t imagine myself without you now.” He kissed me gently on my head.
Why are you saying this? Why all
those heart clenching words, when
all you have to do is leave me in a
broken mess. Maybe not now, but I
know. I know you will start getting
irritated and annoyed gradually. And
then… And then you’ll leave me
hanging there in my own thoughts. I
know it.
“Edan! What am I to you? Am I just a pawn in your little love games? Am I just a time pass? Why? Why are you doing this to me? I know that love doesn’t exist for me. You will never get what you want from me. I’m just a broken mess. I may never be able to love you back… A-And I-I don’t deserve you. Back away Edan, before you regret this decision. I know there are thousands of girls out there and maybe…. maybe a girl of your dreams too. Who will love you in the same way as you will love her.”
These words were really hard for me to say. Especially the last ones. My heart constricted at the thought of him with other girls. But I know… I know it’s best for him. I want to see him happy, and that happiness… I just can’t give it to him.
I know he will regret this. And I need to stop it before its too late.
“So, please…..please just leave me….” His arms loosened around me and my heart shouted with anger, it started crying and shouting those words don’t leave me… Don’t leave
me Edan!
But I kept my mouth shut, it’s best
for him… It’s best for him…
Repeating those words again a and again in my mind like a spell as if I was afraid that I might surrender myself in front of my heart.
I was in an internal battle, a battle… No! A war. A war between my mind and heart. A war for Edan. A war between my inner true feelings and my forced feelings, that I had developed inside me, to protect me from falling again.
I waited for him to leave me, waited for him to tell me that I am right. I waited for him to take his decision. I waited for him to release me from his embrace and I waited… I don’t want to push myself from this embrace, this last embrace. I may never be able to see him again. So, I waited for him to take the first step.
But to my surprise, he didn’t leave me. His hands caressing my back. His touch feather-like, gentle, as if I was something fragile, something precious and he was afraid to break it. His lips touched on my head. My eyes got wide, shocked with the feeling that I was feeling.
His fingers gently held my chin and now I was looking straight into those blue eyes. I won’t be able to see them again. I won’t be able to see Edan again.
His next words shocked me. They twisted my heart in a totally different way.
“You want me to leave you? OK! I will leave you.” Oh No! Yes, I want that.
No! Emma! No! You want him. Don’t
let him leave you. Stop him… No. I want him to leave. It’s best for him…
“I’ll leave you…” Yes!
NOOOO!!!!!
“But-” But?
“But first look straight into my eyes and then tell me to leave. Tell me you hate me.” I can’t say it… My eyes locked in his. Grey against Blue.
“Say it. Say it that you don’t have even little feelings for me. Say that you are not affected by my each and every word. Say to my face that you don’t like me… Say it that you don’t feel the same way.” His eyes demanding the answers. I averted my eyes from his face.
I don’t know. I don’t know how to say
it.
“No! Look straight into my eyes, don’t avert them and tell me all of this and then… Then I’ll promise you that I won’t ever come near you. I’ll leave you for good.”
Leave you for Good Won’t come
near you. I need to say those words, I don’t know how but I know I have to say them.
I looked straight into his eyes. I started saying those words.
Yes! I don’t feel the same way. Just
leave me and don’t ever come back. I
don’t like you.
Although these words were a complete lie but I need to say them.
I was saying those words but I couldn’t hear them and nor Edan. My tongue wasn’t allowing me to say those words. They were in my mind and I wasn’t able to say them. No matter, how hard I tried to say that lie but I wasn’t able to.
“Tell me, Emma!” His voice firm and demanding.
His eyes looking straight into my eyes. I could see anger, rage, hurt and some other thing which I couldn’t describe. I opened my mouth but no words came out.
I can’t say them. I just can’t… Tears streamed down my eyes. I can’t even stop these tears. I bit my lower lip to stop these stupid tears, to stop myself from crying but was of no use. I felt his warm hand on my right cheek and he wiped my tears with his thumb. His thumb drawing smooth circles on my skin.
I closed my eyes, my breath hinged up when I felt his lips on my eyes, first on right one and then on left one. His kisses gentle and light. I sighed. His hand still holding my cheek while his other hand around my waist.
“I have got my answer.” He said merely a whisper.
“I’m not leaving you. No matter how hard you try to get rid of me. I’m going to fight for you. You are not just a pawn of my game, nor a time pass. You are my everything. My life and my death. There is no one in this world compare to you. No one can compare with my Emma.” I didn’t open my eyes. It felt like a beautiful dream. And if it is then I don’t want to wake up.
“It’s you who don’t deserve me. I’m a bad a-s. A complete bastard. I have done many sins and you. You are like an Angel. Pure and clear as an angel. I’m like a devil and you are like an Angel. We are complete opposite but I’m not going to allow this to ruin the thing that we had. I’m going to fight for you. For us… ” My heart dancing with joy, with happiness, and with
love…
Then I felt his lips on mine. It was short and a gentle kiss. It was different from previous kisses. None of us pushed for more. Only a slight touch of his lips and there I melted.
“Emma! I Love you. Don’t you dare assume anything about yourself. You are most valuable to me. You are my everything. My heartbeat, my breath, my air, my light, my life, my death.” I buried my head in his chest, my hands tightly gripping his shirt.
“You believe me. Right?” He questioned, whilst his arms tightened around my waist.
I believe you. I believe you Edan!
I simply nodded and buried my head deeper. My cheeks heating up at the little confession.
It’s true. I do believe him. I could sense sincerity in his every word.
Emma! Just for God Sake. Give it a
try. Let your feelings lead you.
Now. I’m going to surrender myself in front of my feelings.
I might end up happy or shattered
into pieces. But, I won’t regret
anything. I will be glad that I was
able to spend some time with him…
to be continued……

Chapter Thirty Six
Emma’s POV.
1 week later.
“Emma! You are going to be late.” I heard Kate from the other side of the door.
“I’m just coming…” I rinsed my hair.
“Hurry up! Only half an hour is left.”
“Okay! Just coming.” I yelled back.
Come on! Can’t you wait for a sec…
I turned off the tap and put on my robe, wrap my hair in a towel and stepped out.
“Sit down. I’m going to do your make up.” Kate pushed me in front of the mirror and made me sit there.
“Makeup? No! I’m not gonna wear any makeup.” I argued. No! I’m not
gonna wear any makeup. No way…
Not at all!!!
“Oh for crying out loud! Stop arguing and let the makeup queen do her work. I bet he’s gonna blow up his control once he gets his eyes on you.” Kate smirked and I might say, that smirk was a scary one.
“No Kate! Please. I shouldn’t have told you about that.” I huffed.
Why I even told her about this? Well,
you needed an advice idiot…
Right…
“You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for this moment. And after a year, it’s finally becoming true. Yay! I finally get to do a makeover of you.” She grinned while drying my hair and then rolling them.
“You had really been very stubborn. Making him wait for this long. I can’t imagine how he would have kept himself in control…” Kate chuckled.
“After 2 months, you finally agreed. You finally let your feelings lead you. I’m glad you.” She smiled and finished my curls.
Two months have been passed since that day when he first bumped into me, since our first encounter and then there is the day when I started working for him, I must add
forcefully . But the little scenario that we had last week, in which I kind of blurted out those words. I finally decided to follow my feelings. I decided to put this whatever thing we had to test. To test whether it’s gonna be a success or a complete breakdown. But now I’m not gonna step back, I’m ready to go for it.
“Let me look.” I tried to look in the mirror but before I could see, Kate placed a curtain on it.
“Ah… No. Not now.” She giggled and started applying a little base on my face.
“You aren’t making me a monster. Are you?” I chuckled.
“Oh yes! A delicious, sexy monster. And believe me, he won’t be able to hold himself back tonight.” Kate looked proud but I shivered at this thought.
“Calm down! It will be fun.”
“Shut up Kate! Or else I’m not going.” I tried to give him a glare but failed miserably.
Kate laughed. “Do you really think he would let you go that easily? After making him wait for this much. Do you think you can back away now?” There it is again, that smirk of her.
My cheeks warmed up. I knew now, I can’t back away and I don’t wanna… I’m ready. I’m going to teach my heart to love again. I’m not stepping back now.
“Here, I’m done with your base. Now a little eyeshade and a pink lipstick.” She took out the things from her drawer. “Uh! No, a red lipstick will do.” Kate took it out.
I was sitting right now in front of the mirror in Kate’s room. I didn’t have anything for a makeover. So, Kate insisted me that she would take care of my make up. And here I am stuck and having a makeover.
“They’re done!” Finally after half an hour… She had let me go.
“Now, go get dressed.” She pushed me into my room.
I put on my white and blue dress. It had a beautiful design on it. It was made of glittering net, giving the dress a little sparkle. It fits me perfectly, showing my curves. My shoulders bare and the dress reached till my knees.
It was a bit revealing, to which I wasn’t used to but Kate insisted me to buy it. I argued but in the end, she won the battle. So, I ended up buying it and now I’m wearing it.
“Are you ready?” Kate knocked and I replied with a yes.
I put on my blue heels. My legs bare. I grabbed my clutch and put the lipstick, some tissues and my phone in it.
“Oh my God!” I looked at Kate. Her mouth open and eyes wide.
“What? Is something wrong?” I asked concerned.
“You look breathtaking. I’m sure he won’t be able to take his hands off you.” My cheeks heat up. Thousands of butterflies invaded my stomach.
“Shut up!” I averted my eyes from her grinning face.
The doorbell rang.
“Oh! Looks like lover boy is here….” Kate giggled. I grab my coat and with a heart filled with different emotions, I headed towards the door.
Thousands of thoughts crossing my mind.
What will be his reaction? Will he like
me this way? What will he be
wearing? And many many more
questions, jumbling in my mind.
I opened the door and then my breath hitched at the sight of the very same person standing in front of me. He was standing there in full glory. Looking handsome and sexy. He was wearing a black suit as usual. The shirt white.
Our gaze met. His eyes shifted from my eyes to my body.
“You look beautiful,” Edan commented and I felt my cheeks warm up.
“You too.” Before I could shut my mouth the words escaped my big snotty mouth.
“Uuuh… I mean handsome. Y-You, look handsome.” I flushed. D–n it!!!!
Control it, Emma!
What is wrong with you? Snap out!
Edan chuckled and handed me a bouquet of white and red roses.
My heart filled with emotions, heavy emotions. My heart raced up. No one has ever affected me in this way. This mere gentle action from Edan just made my heart flutter.
“Thank you. They are beautiful. I love them.” I found my voice and replied.
“Don’t know which ones your favorite… So, I just kind of picked them up.” Edan smiled.
“I love them. Thank you.” I thanked him for the second time.
“Shall we?” He asked me just like a gentleman. So, unlike Edan!! I smiled at him and we went towards his car.
He started the car and the engine came alive. I remained silent for the whole time.
I wasn’t sure what to say. My heart was beating by his mere presence. His car smells of him. I love the smell of his cologne. I love his presence.
Emma! Snap out. What are you
thinking… Uhhh! I’m behaving like an
idiot.
The car came to a halt in front of a five-star restaurant.
“We’re here,” Edan spoke and I simply nodded.
I stepped outside the car and so did Edan.
“Names please?” A girl with blonde hair tied in a bun and wearing a black and white uniform like skirt inquired. Her eyes on the list.
“Edan Wilton,” Edan said in a firm tone.
In an instant, her head shot up and it seems like she was gonna faint. Her face got pale on meeting her eyes with Edan.
“I-I’m s-so s-sorr-rry s-sirr. I-I didn’t realize i-it w-was you-u…” Her lips quivered.
Edan only nodded and without giving her a second glance. He grabbed my hand and went inside.
I was still confused by that little scenario that just happened a while ago.
Why was that girl so scared? How did
she know him?
Idiot. He is a well-known billionaire…
Everyone knows about him. It was
you dumb, that had never heard of
him.
Well, that’s true. I wasn’t too much in gossips.
My eyes widen by the beauty that the restaurant holds. A big chandelier hanging in the center of the hall. The floor fully carpeted. Everyone busy in their own little world.
I felt his arm encircled around my waist. His touch warm and I could feel his warmth on my skin despite the presence of the fabric of my dress. I could feel my cheeks burning up.
Why is he affecting me this way
This feeling cannot be defined. It’s
indescribable…
“Mr. Wilton. This way please.” A waiter said and we followed him.
He led us to a seat near a big window. The window reflecting the peaceful night outside.
Edan let go of me and we sat down, facing each other.
“What will you order?” The same boy asked. After taking our order, he nodded and left us.
“Emma!” I looked into his eyes.
“Hmm?” I hummed.
“You… You had made me speechless.” I furrowed my eyebrows at his words.
“Speechless? For what?” I questioned.
His hand rested on mine, which was placed on the table. His fingers intertwined with mine. My hand looked small and delicate in his. I was surprised at how our hands fit perfectly. It feels like they were meant for each other. Strange…. Or crazy…
Right?
“You look really beautiful, gorgeous. I have never seen you in make up before.” I blushed at his remark.
“Well, Kate kind of forced me to put makeup. It was not my idea. It’s the first time I had wore it.” I replied softly. This is so unlike me… I’m
acting like a madly in love girl.
Blushing and talking softly. Trying to
impress him.
What? Seriously! Impress him. Idiot
Emma…
“Well, I’m really flattered to know that you had done it for me. To make me impressed.” He smirked.
What the hell!!! Did I say it aloud? Or
had he read my mind?
“Dream on. Why would I want to impress some jerk like you!” I rolled my eyes, trying to hide my smile.
I heard him chuckle.
“So, we are back to jerk? Well, let me tell you. This jerk is madly in love with a stubborn girl. A stubborn but a beautiful girl.” His eyes locked in mine. I could sense sincerity in his every word.
I couldn’t help but smile at his word. He really knows how to make me smile. He knows how to love someone. Maybe this time I’ll not end
up broken. Maybe I could find love…
Maybe we were destined to meet on
that day…
I smiled at the thought.
Edan! You are really something…
“Care to tell me, why are you smiling? It’s not that I didn’t like it… I just love your smile. Is it me you are thinking about?” He smirked again.
My cheeks warm up and couldn’t help but to grin like a silly little girl. I dug my head down into my hair.
“Looks like I was right.” He chuckled and I couldn’t meet his eyes. I was shy… For god sake… I don’t know
where this shyness came from
This is so unlike me…
“Emma! You are something special. I don’t know if it was the love at first sight or something else. The day I led my eyes on you. I knew right then that I want you.” He lifted my chin and my eyes met with his.
“Thank you for everything. For letting me love you. For believing in me. For this…” He kissed me on the bridge of my nose.
I could only smile in response.
The remaining evening was spent in a normal way. Edan made me smile, made me laugh. He cracked some jokes and I was really enjoying his company.
It was the best evening I ever had. It was the time that I never wanted to end.
I came to know that the restaurant was of Edan’s. No doubt the poor girl was scared to see her big boss…
With me, he is a totally changed person. He is a cold, ruthless, arrogant boss towards his employees but with me, he is the complete opposite person. Loving, caring, gentle and kind. He makes me feel like I’m special.

Thanks for the update Please update more

Chapter Thirty Seven
Edan’s POV.
The instant she kissed me on my cheek. I couldn’t help but keep back the urge to take her right now, right here but I’ve to calm myself down.
Calm down Edan!!! She’s only yours.
She isn’t going anywhere.
Yes. She is mine and only mine.
I crashed my lips on her’s. I kissed her first gently then possessively. My intention was to put all that love I felt for her in this kiss. To pour my love in this kiss.
Thankfully she didn’t protest and our tongues danced in unison. Both battling to get the upper hand.
In the end, I won. Her grip around my neck tighten and her one hand moves to my hair gripping it. I grabbed her waist and in a moment her legs were wrapped around my waist.
For milliseconds we parted to grasp for air and then I kissed her senselessly again. Trying to take her breath away.
Her back hit the door. I kissed her jawline and then her neck. I trailed kisses from her lips to her nose and then on her forehead.
She moaned and I felt proud of myself. I smiled inwardly, I captured her lips again, biting her lower lip.
Her grip tightened around my neck. I can’t seem to stop.
I don’t wanna stop…
I want her right now. I don’t know if I would be able to resist this urge.
Edan! D–n it… Control.
“Emma! I- I can’t stop. Stop me.” I kissed her jawline, her neck and trail kisses on her bare shoulders.
She only moaned in response.
D–n it , Emma!!!! Stop me or I won’t
be able to hold my inner beast back.
Our hot make out session was disturbed by the ring of a phone.
Emma’s POV.
“Emma! I- I can’t stop. Stop me.” Edan whispered while trailing hot kisses on my neck and my jawline. I moaned in response to his kisses.
I don’t want him to stop. I want him. I want to tell him that don’t stop.
But I know that I’m not ready to go that far.
I am not just ready…
I have to stop this or else I won’t be
able to stop my own self…
Fortunately or unfortunately which
I’m not sure…
My phone rang and I jumped at its ringtone. I unwrapped my legs and stood in front of Edan. His hand on my waist to keep me steady. My legs were all wobbly due to that hot session.
I picked up the call.
“Hello…” I said while panting heavily.
“D–n it, Emma!!! Keep it low. You wanna wake up the neighbors or something. Girl! You should get a bedroom. I know he may not be able to control himself but-” I disconnected the call to stop continuous blabbing of Kate.
My cheeks warmed up.
Were we that loud D–n it…
What if someone had seen us? Urgh…
I’m not that much a public showing
person but now with Edan… I just
lost my control.
What the hell had gotten me?
“So…” I heard Edan’s voice.
“Hmm.” I don’t know what to say after just getting a hot kiss from him.
“I want to ask something…” He held my hands and looked deep into my eyes. Our gaze locked on each other.
“Hmmm.”
“Will you be my girlfriend?” And there my heart stopped beating. Thousands of butterflies started dancing in my stomach. My mouth wasn’t being able to utter a single world. I stood there numb.
This all looked like a dream. A dream which I’m afraid will end soon. I’m afraid that it might vanish at the moment when I woke up. When I woke up in a bitter yet true reality.
“It’s fine. Take your time. No need to worry. I’ll be waiting for your answer.” Edan kissed my cheek.
My answer? I don’t know what to
answer.
I want to say yes but I can’t say it. I’m still a little afraid. I don’t know what to answer him. Should I say yes or a no? Am I ready to be his girlfriend?
Emma! You said that you’ll let your
feelings lead you. So let them lead
you…
My feelings… I have strong feelings for Edan. But, still, I’m not sure about my own self that am I ready for this next step.
Yes, I need time. I’ll give him his answer but after some time.
I simply nodded.
“Good Night, My Emma.” He gave a last peck on my lips and went towards his car.
I instantly started missing his warm. He looked at me and smiled, showing his billion dollars smile and drove away.
I unlocked my door and went straight to my room. I smiled on remembering our date. I looked at my pendant and my heart filled with overwhelmed emotions. My heart dancing, my inner self-dancing with joy. No one had ever made me so happy. I felt someone special. I felt loved.
I think I love Edan.
I have fallen for him.
I love him.
Unknown’s POV.
I looked at them kissing. That bastard was sucking her face. I have to keep my anger under control. I’m gonna kill that bastard.
He’s gonna regret it. How dare he came near my girl. How dare he kissed her. She’s only mine and mine.
F**k him!!!
He’s gonna pay for this. Yes, he’s gonna die and I’ll make sure of it.
I stood there watching them as their hot make-out session continued. I have to keep myself back from hitting that mother****.
Their s–t session was disturbed by some phone. I looked at her. She looked so beautiful in that dress. Oh, how I want to rip that dress off her. I’m gonna take her back. I’m gonna take her and this time she won’t be able to escape me. And if she does leave me, I’ll kill her.
Huh! Yes! I will kill her.
This time she won’t be able to escape me.
And this time her little boyfriend won’t be able to save her.
I looked at her as she unlocked her door and went in.
I smiled. This time you’re gonna be mine and only mine. You were mine and you are mine.
This time no one will save you from me. No one will save you from this monster now.
“My sweet Emmie. I’m coming to get you. And this time I’ll make you mine. Fully mine. Just wait for me.” I laughed and went into the darkness.
to be continued……

Chapter Thirty Eight
Emma’s POV.
I entered the building feeling a bit nervous. I passed through Taylor but couldn’t ignore the death glares she was giving me. She’s been giving me those glares since the first day I entered this building.
Seriously what’s her problem I
didn’t do anything…
I always tried to act nice with her but she always ends up being a b—h. She would normally won’t talk to me and if she would probably because
it’s something important, she’s always rude.
I ignored her death glares and made my way to Edan’s office.
I smiled on remembering our date. It was so magical, so romantic, so undefined. It was the best date. And that gift. It was the best. I loved everything. From the beginning to the last. I had fun with him. Not in ages I’ve enjoyed this much.
He made me feel loved…
I knocked and heard a come in. I stepped in and closed the door.
I looked around but no sign of him.
Where could he be?
“Looking for me sweetheart?” A sexy, raspy voice came from behind me. And the very next moment I was enclosed in a back hug. His hands on my waist and his breath on my neck.
“No. Not at all. I wasn’t looking for you. I was looking for uuuhhh… Kevin. Yp, Have you seen him.” I smiled. I knew he doesn’t like him much, probably because he thinks that he’s interested in me.
Ohhh! Poor Edan.
“Oh really? And why would he be here? It’s my office after all.” I could sense that smirk on his face.
OK. Now, what to say? D–n it ,
Emma! It’s Edan’s office after all.
Why would Kevin be here? Dumb
girl…
I decided to play along.
Let’s see how far I’ll make it.
“Oh! Sorry then. I might have mistakenly came here. I should probably leave. I have to find him. You know I haven’t seen him for a while.” I smirked.
I freed myself from his grip and headed towards the door.
Yes… I won… Mr. Wilton.
Haha! In your face.
I laughed inwardly.
“Don’t play with my temper miss James.” He grabbed my arm and swirled me back into his embrace. This time I was looking straight into his eyes.
“I don’t think I have that much time to play with your temper, Mr. Wilton.” Despite his intense gaze, I managed to play along.
After all , I won’t lose to him…
“You really love teasing me. Don’t you?” He whispered in a sexy tone and drew his face closer.
Yes! I love teasing you…
“Oh! Was I teasing you? I’m so sorry. Now, will you excuse me. I have work to do.” I smiled and tried to wriggle myself out of his embrace.
Luckily, I managed to escape him and run into my office and let out a laugh.
I just love teasing him and playing
with his games. I love the way he
makes me feel.
I love everything about him.
I noticed some files and after checking them and reading them, I sent them to Edan. Not by my own self but with the help of Violet.
Yp, I called her and asked for her help.
Now lunch time.
I walked into the cafeteria and saw Kevin and Violet sitting at the end. By the look on Violet’s face, I could tell she was blushing. And that Kevin I bet was making some remarks on her.
Violet saw me and waved at me.
“So?” I sat down and smirked.
“How far you both have gone? Huh?” I grinned.
Violet’s cheeks become a deep crimson red color.
“Awwww!!! Someone’s blushing!!!!” I said in a sing-song voice and Kevin chuckled.
“Am I proud to know that I’m the reason behind that blush of yours…” Kevin smirked and winked at her.
They are so adorable. They just suit
each other so much.
My idea about guys had started to change. First Edan and now Kevin. Maybe all guys are not the same.
There is indeed someone in the world who loves you, who cares for you. Who makes you believe that you are not alone.
Who makes you feel loved, makes you feel cherished. There is someone in this world only made for you. We have to only wait for the right one.
“So, how’s everything with Edan? And why did you send me to his office this morning?” Violet asked with a smile.
“About that. I wasn’t just in the mood to meet him. That’s all.” I said with a smile whilst remembering this morning.
“What do you mean by everything with Edan? And who Edan? Oh! Wait a sec… Is that Mr. Wilton you are talking about?” Kevin looked at us wide eyes trying to comprehend what we both were talking about.
“Yes, Kev! They are dating….” Violet giggled whilst Kevin stared as if he has seen a ghost. I blushed at the mention of us dating.
“Look who’s the one blushing now…” Violet started laughing and I joined her too.
“H-How How it all happened? And where was I?” Kevin asked confused.
I haven’t told anyone about us. Yeah except Kate and Violet. I haven’t even told my mom yet. I don’t know how to tell her. Or should I?
Of course! She’s your mom Emma.
You should tell her.
But I’m afraid. What is our relationship? And how far it’s gonna make it? Will Edan continue to love me with same emotions? Will he always remain by my side? Will he love me till the end?
Will I be able to give him back the love that he wants? Am I that much worthy? Am I worthy of him? Should I take a step forward?
Emma! It’s in your hands. It’s you
who’s gonna decide whether you
want this relationship or you want to
end it. Whether you should give him a
yes or a no. Whether you should tell
him about your true feelings or not.
It is you who has this right, who has
this opportunity, who has the second piece of this relationship. You are the
one who will choose. And this choice
will affect not only you but Edan too.
“Hey! You completely zoned out.” Violet snapped her fingers in front of my face.
“Oh sorry!” I replied sheepishly.
After a little chat with them. I bid them goodbye and headed towards my office.
Those thoughts still surrounding me.
Should I say yes?
What will happen if I say no? Will
everything end up between us? Or will
Edan try his best to continue our
relationship?
What will happen if I say yes? Will he
love me till eternity? Will we be
succeeded in our relationship? Will
we be married?
Will I be happy with him?
Of course! I feel like I’m the luckiest and happiest girl in this world when I’m with him.
I can’t imagine myself without Edan. He has captured my mind, my heart. I can’t leave him now nor ever.
But again. Am I taking things too fastly? Should I take more time? Should I be first sure about my own feelings?
Uuuuhhhhh!!!!
So many questions…
What should I do

Chapter Thirty Nine
Emma’s POV.
Right now I was sitting in my office while staring at my laptop. After thinking about my emotions for half an hour, I decided to just give in. What could the worse that could happen?
I may just end up heartbroken. Or I
may have the greatest time of my
life…
Well, one can’t know without trying. And if I don’t try it, I may regret it. And I don’t want to have any more regrets.
I had many regrets from my past.
Like why I even fall for Den. Why I fall
for his charming sights and why I
spent my past years over a stupid
heartbreak. Why wasn’t I able to
move on back then? And why I kept
mourning on that stupid thing?
I was silly, I was stupid to just think that my world had come to an end. I was stupid to spend my past years afraid from falling for a guy. I should have just moved on like every other girl. I shouldn’t have so much faith in our so-called relationship.
It was only a matter of a game for him. He had f**k many girls behind my back and I was just stupid back then to trust him.
At first, the mere thought of him made me cringe, gave me nightmares. He had destroyed me completely and had taken my happy life from me. But Edan… He came as my knight in shining armor. He became my Prince that I once dreamed when I was 8.
Yeah! I may sound silly, but I think I
liked him the very same moment
when we bumped.

I was mesmerized by him. Especially his eyes, I think his eyes are the first thing I fell for.
His blue eyes are so captivating and mesmerizing. I could bring myself to calm by only looking at them.
At first, he did prove a jerk by forcing me to work for him and I hated him for that but now I’m glad he did.
Without him I believed that I would have been the same lost girl, I would have hate guys and just maybe loathed the very sight of them. This thought just makes me chuckle. I was indeed a big stupid girl to think that all boys are dumbass and jerks but now I have a new perspective on them.
I knew I was wrong, my thoughts were wrong and Edan helped me to realize them and because of him, I’m starting to amend them.
I smiled at the thought of us.
I looked at the wallpaper on my laptop. It was a picture of my family when I was of age 10. I smiled whilst looking at the picture. I just love my family.
A thought came to my mind as I remember I haven’t search anything about Edan before. I instantly typed
Edan Wilton on Google and clicked the search button.
Instantly his pictures, his bio, his previous affairs and different articles about him showed up.
I read his bio and was astonished to see the achievements he has achieved
Edan Wilton.
Age:23
Status: Unmarried.
C.E.O. of one of the most successful
companies of whole America.
Edan Wilton is the son of Karl Wilton.
He had an older brother and a
younger sister. He became the C.E.O.
of the company at the age of 19
because of his father’s poor health
conditions.
Those years were a difficult time for
Wilton’s family but the new C.E.O. at
that time with intense hard work and
under the guidance of his father
stabilize his company.
He continued his studies along with
his work. He got the education in
business through an online college
and got passed by excellent grades.
He got his degree and strengthen his
position in the industrial world.
The Wilton’s co. is now counted
among the top 4 companies of whole
America, and Wilton’s family is
considered as one of the richest
families in the world.
I clicked on another article and it was based on his past and current affairs.
Edan Wilton.
A man of every girl’s dream. He is
handsome, charming and sexy with a
body that everyone admires. Some say he’s a player while some say he’s
a lover. But what’s true? Nobody
knows.
He had been seen with many models,
actors and different beautiful girls.
There have been many affairs and
flings about him. But nobody knows
if any of his relationships is serious
or not.
He’s the guy that every girl admires.
He’s cold, arrogant, serious but yet
sexy.
He had seen with many girls but they
don’t last more than one day.
Recently he’s seen with another girl
at one of his restaurants. But nobody
knows if she’s just one of his flings
or one of his one night stands.
Or is she the lucky girl that has
captured his eyes or is she just a
gold digger. Is she going to be
something important in his life?
I was shocked on reading about this a lot of a rubbish about that girl. Who are they to judge a person by not even knowing her? They are no one to tell who she is and what her aim is. It’s her problem and Edan’s not theirs.
But we all know these are the gossips that people just love to read
about celebrities.
These gossips, rumors are almost
always big lies. And these gossips
also affect a person status, his life,
and his character.
But one shouldn’t just judge a person by hearing all those bullshits about him unless one meet him in person. There are many different faces and different stories behind a person’s face.
A person just does not change oneself without any reason. There are a series of events in one’s life that caused one to change. I knew it because I had experienced it myself. I knew the reasons which caused a change in my behavior.
But one should be strong to face them. One shouldn’t give up that easily. They shouldn’t just surrender their selves in front of those problems and matters. They should face them. These are all part of our lives.
Every one has its own problems in life. Life isn’t perfect and is nor easy. Life is too short and is just a matter of only moments and we should live in that moment and enjoy it.
I realized all this after a long time. I know I did wrong and it was a foolish act that I wasted my time by being idle, I should have just moved on.
I guess… I wasn’t that strong back
then.
But am I strong now? Will I be able to
move on if Edan would leave me? Will
I be strong enough to face a
heartbreak?
I don’t think that I will be able to spend my life without him. I had just found a missing piece of me and now I don’t want to lose it.
I will tell Edan about my feelings as soon as I can. I don’t want to wait much longer.
We should just tell the ones we love as soon as we can. If we love someone, we shouldn’t waste time and just tell them while we can see them.
And this is what I’m going to do now. I’m tired of lying myself and doubting my feelings, and now I’m gonna take them out.
I surfed the net a little more. I saw many pictures of him with other girls. Those girls were way more beautiful than me. Then there was a picture of him sitting in a restaurant with a girl. He was smiling and I could tell he was enjoying his time. I felt a pang of jealousy inside me.
By looking him with all those girls I felt jealous. Yes! I admit I was
jealous.
I looked at the picture.
“Hmm. It looks familiar.”
I zoomed it and realization hit me. It was the picture of us during our first date in one of his restaurants. But thank God, my back was facing the camera.
That current girl with whom he is, and about whom I had read all those bullshits is no other but me.
I was taken aback by how those people thought of me.
“Hmm. Interesting picture. Isn’t it?” I shrieked a little when his voice came from behind me.
I instantly shut my laptop, stood up and turned towards him.
“What are you doing here?” I looked at him.
“It’s my building and I can go wherever I want. So how much have you searched about me? Huh?” He smirked.
For how long has he been standing
behind me? Had he seen that I was
doing a search about him? Darn it!
“Why would I be wasting my time in searching about you? My time is far more important than to search about something or someone like you.” I grinned a victorious smile.
“Oh really?” He came closer and I back away.
“Yes. I don’t waste my time on rubbish things. You know time is precious Mr. Wilton ”
I smirked and I could see a glint of amusement in his eyes.
He was stepping forward and I was stepping backward.
I felt something behind my legs and fell on the sofa with a thud.
D–n that sofa! I cursed under my breath.
He loomed over me and trapped me by his hands.
I looked for an escape but failed.
“So what were you saying? Rubbish thing? Huh? You have been playing with a beast, Miss James.” Edan smirked.
“And now this beast is gonna give you punishment.”
Uh-Oh!
He smirked and started kissing my neck. My breath just hitched up. I turned my head to a side to give him a better access.
He trailed kisses on my jawline and at the edge of my lips.
He was teasing me with his kisses.
“E-Edan!” I breathed out and could feel a smile on his lips.
He looked into my eyes. We both staring into each other eyes. Blue against grey. I was panting while he was calm.
“Emma!” He whispered and inch closer.
Our lips inched apart as we heard clearing of a throat.
“What’s going on here?” I heard a voice and Edan looked at the source of the voice.
“Mom!”
to be continued…….

Chapter Fourty
Emma’s POV.
“What’s going on here?” I heard a voice.
I couldn’t see the person who has just come because of Edan. He was on top of me. But by the voice, I could tell it was an elderly woman.
“Mom!” Edan looked in the direction of the voice.
Did he just say, mom? Is it Mrs.
Wilton. Oh my God! What she’ll think
of us? And she caught us in that
position.
Oh my God… I feel so embarrassed…
I pushed Edan of me and stood straight.
Edan looked at me with questioning looks. Whilst I dug my head downwards.
I feel so embarrassed…
“Mom! What are you doing here?” Edan said looking at his mom.
“I just came to remind you about our dinner tonight. You weren’t picking my phone. And you know you have to be there. Your grandparents are coming tonight.” His mom reminded him but I could sense a hint of anger or frustration in her voice.
Was it because of the thing she had
just seen?
“Mom, I knew that and I hadn’t forgotten,” Edan replied coolly.
“Edan! I came here also to inform you about a visit of my friend. She’s visiting us from London. And I must add she has a beautiful daughter. I thought you might li-”
“Mom! Stop it!!” Edan cut her mid-sentence and I looked in his direction.
I could tell what his mother was talking about. Of course! I’m not that dumb. She was arranging a date for him. For Edan. For my Edan.
I felt like crying knowing that Edan could be with someone else.
“Mom! I’m not gonna meet any of your friend’s daughter nor any other girl. I’ve told you a thousand times before to stop setting me up with one of your chosen girls.” Edan gritted. While I felt a little relieved.
I don’t want to lose him. I want him
to be only mine. I won’t be able to
survive without him.
“Edan! You’ve been giving me the same excuse every time. Son! I want your happiness. I want you to get serious, stop goofing here and there and stop playing with girls.” She shot me a glare and then started talking. I felt that someone had slapped me on my face. I couldn’t believe that she too think of me as some s–t.
“I want that you should just stop being a player. For once find a real girl for yourself.”
I looked down. I couldn’t bear to look at his mother. I was really ashamed of myself. I felt myself at low.
I heard Edan chuckled.
“Well, mom! Then this is probably a good news for you. I’ve found a girl for me.” I looked at Edan with shocked eyes. He was smiling and looking towards me.
“Really? Who?” His mother asked him with a demanding tone.
My heart started to beat faster by every second.
“Her name is Emma James. She is beautiful, talented, hardworking and above all, she is kind hearted well not with guys but with girls and I’m glad for that.” He chuckled.
I stood frozen on the ground and couldn’t believe my ears. I couldn’t believe that I was listening to this.
“She is my special girl and I knew it the day I met her. I knew deep down that I had fallen for her but took a little longer to realize.” He smiled and then looked towards his mom.
“Mom! I’ve found my girl. She’s mine and I’m only hers. She’s my first and gonna be the last love. I love her more than my own self and I’ll be always by her side. So, stop setting me up with one of your heiresses.” Edan replied and again looked at me showing me his satisfying smile.
“And who is she?” His mother asked.
Edan came closer to me and wiped the tears from my eyes which I didn’t know had fallen. He caressed my face and kissed me on my forehead. I closed my eyes and lost myself in treasuring this moment.
I placed a hand on his and wish that we could stay like this forever. Edan and me.
I knew that his mother had just got a clear answer.
“I see. I’m sure that you’re going to bring her to dinner tonight. We all want to meet her. And be there at 7 pm sharp.” With that, she turned around and left the office.
I stood frozen on the ground. I couldn’t take my eyes off Edan.
I felt something warm inside my heart. I felt new emotions. The way he said those words, I knew they were straight from his heart. There was not a single lie in them and his eyes say that all.
I could see love in them and not for some other girl but me. His love is only for me. I doubted him, I doubted his feelings for me. I doubted my own feelings but now I know I truly love him.
With him my every day is special. When I’m with him it seems like I’m in an entirely new world.
I felt tears on my cheeks that had escaped from my eyes.
“Why are you crying?” Edan wiped my tears with his thumb, drawing soothing circles on my skin.
“I’m happy,” I replied. My heart was filled with overwhelmed emotion, with feelings. The feeling of being loved.
“I’m glad you are. I’ve told you before I only love you.” He chuckled.
“Edan I-”
“I don’t care if you don’t love me back. I don’t care if you haven’t fallen for me but just always remember this I am never letting you go. I’m never gonna let you leave my side. I’ll protect you. I’ll keep you safe. I want you, Emma, only you.” He breathed heavily.
“I haven’t done this before.” He chuckled.
“So, it was kind of difficult for me to say it but I just couldn’t keep it in. I wanted to tell you how much I love you. And thank God. I’m feeling lighter now after telling you my feelings.” He smiled and it made me smile too.
“There’s my smile. Emma! Don’t you ever stop smiling. I love that smile on your face. I want you to let go of your past and always keep smiling. Just remember I am always there to protect you even if I have to kill my own self.”
“No. Don’t say that. Don’t say about killing your own self. I would die if something would happen to you. Promise me that you’ll never leave me. You’ll always be there for me.” The thought of Edan being hurt… I couldn’t stand it.
“I promise. But you have to promise you will always smile.”
I smiled and Edan grinned.
“I promise I will always smile because now I have a reason to smile.” With that, I drew closer and kissed him gently on his lips.
“I love you Edan.”
Chapter Fourth One
Edan’s POV.
“I love you.” She whispered and if she wouldn’t have been too close I could have missed it.
Or did I misheard? Did I hear her right? Or is my mind playing tricks on me?
Did she just say she loves me? Or am I dreaming?
“What?” I asked her, staring at her.
“I l-love y-you.” She stuttered and her cheeks got a crimson red color.
Okay… She- She j-just said that she
loves me…
D–n it Edan!!! She confessed.
Finally… I was waiting for this time. I
had started to think I’ll be never able
to get her love. I thought that this
thing we had will always be one-sided. I thought she will never fall for
me.
But now I have got her love. I have got her heart. Finally, I got her.
I claimed her lips in a gentle kiss filled with passion, love, and longing.
She responded and returned the kiss back.
My heart filled with all different emotions. I haven’t felt like this before. She is the only woman who had captured my heart. Who got me all wrapped up in her fingers.
Our lips molding together.
She was returning the kiss with the same passion. Showing me that now our feelings are mutual. We love each other.
I entered her mouth and kissed her gently. I pour all my love, all my feelings I feel towards her in that kiss.
I rested my forehead against him and looked into her eyes.
“You don’t know how much I’m happy. I finally got my girl.” I whispered and kissed on the bridge of her nose.
She smiled.
Seeing her smile was the best thing. I love her smile. I always tried my best to make her smile. I wanted to erase that horrible past of her. I may not know it all but I knew deep down that she was scared. Scared of getting hurt again. It was difficult for her to even trust a person.
I succeeded in gaining her trust and now I’m never gonna lose it.
“Edan?” She called out.
“Hmm.”
“What if your mother thought of me as some s–t or a gold digger? What if she hates me? I could sense her hatred towards me. What if-”
I shushed her by placing my finger on her trembling lips.
“Nothings gonna happen. And believe me, she will love you once she gets to know you.” I knew that my mom is a kind of a possessive one. She wants what’s the best for me and I know very well she wants my happiness and my happiness lies with my Emma.
My Emma…
It sounds so d–n right. I love that. I
love calling her mine…
“But still-”
“No buts. I know that and I just don’t care what happens or not I will never leave you. I have promised you that I’ll always be there for you.” I kissed her gently on her lips. Devouring every kiss, her lips and every moment.
“Now be ready at seven. I’ll pick you up.”
Without giving her any room to argue I headed towards my office.
I was grinning like a boy.
I love you.
I love you.
I kept on recalling her words. She confessed.
She told me she loves me back. I have entered into her heart.
The intercom beeped and I answered.
“Sir! There is someone name Lious Parker. He says its something important.”
Lious Parker.
“Send him in,” I said coldly.
I heard a knock and said a come in.
“Hello, Sir.” I nodded and shook his hand.
“So what’s the news?”
“Sir. I have been keeping an eye on Miss James as you have said me.” I nodded.
I hired him as Emma’s bodyguard. But she just refused to accept that. I know the girl she is. She wants to remain independent. She loves her privacy and doesn’t like the idea of someone invading her space.
But I too was a stubborn a-s after all. I wanted her to be safe.
After that incident in that bar, I want her to be safe. The thought of that bloody bastard just boils my blood. I don’t even want to imagine what would have happened to my Emma if I wouldn’t have been there.
The thought of his hands on my Emma makes me want to hit something. I’ll kill him once I lay my hands on him.
“Had she noticed you?”
“I don’t think so, sir. I have been taking every step with great measures. I’ve been keeping an eye on her from a safe distance.”
I nodded. When Lious told me that Emma had refused to take her service I ordered him to always keep an eye on her. I told him to stay at a distant place from her so that she wouldn’t suspect anything and thankfully she didn’t.
“What’s the matter then?” I looked at his face with a stern expression.
“Sir. There is someone stalking Miss James. We have suspected a movement like someone is keeping a close eye on her.”
What?
Who the hell that person is? And
what does he wants from her?
“Who is that person?” I gritted my teeth with anger.
“Sir. We have sensed his presence but we still don’t know who that person is.”
“What do you mean you don’t know who the hell he is? I want every single report about him. Why do you think I’ve hired you?? You have to keep an eye on her 24/7. I don’t want any kind of carelessness. Or you will pay for that.” I growled.
He nodded in understatement.
“You can leave now. Give me each and every f—–g report about that bastard.” I growled again.
He nodded and left my office. I had my mind wrapped around the information I have got.
A thought hit me like a blazing. thunder.
“Miss Seville.”I pressed the intercom.

Yes, Sir?
“Send Mr. Daniel to my office. Now.” My voice holding the firm authority.
I had a hunch that who that f—–g a—–e is but I need a proof to confirm my suspicions.
Emma’s POV.
I looked at my wristwatch showing it was almost 5 in evening.
It’s time for me to go home.
I stood up and headed towards the elevator but something inside me stopped.
I felt a little bit giddy. I wanna see
him and said him a goodbye.
I headed towards his office but stopped mid-track.
Emma! Come on you’ll see him in two
hours. Go to your home and get ready. You don’t have enough time. You are going to meet his family.
My heart started beating faster on thinking about meeting his family.
What if they don’t like me and tell Edan to leave me? What if they think me as some s–t or a gold digger whose after him for his money?
What if
I headed towards the bus stop. All these thoughts still in my mind.
I entered my apartment and headed towards my room.
I saw a letter there on my side table and pick it.
To Emma James.
Hmm. It was addressed to me. But I have never received any letter before.
“Hey Kai!”
“Yes, Em?” She shouted from the living room. She was watching one of her favorite movies. The Fault in Our
Stars.
She just loves it.
“Who gave this letter?” I shouted back. I flipped it around but no name was written like where had it came from or who send it.
“I don’t know. It was just lying in front of the front door. As your name was written on it, I placed it in your room.”
“OK. Thanks.”
I opened it. Wondering who is the one sending it.
I opened the letter and on reading the first word. I froze.
My hands and legs starting shaking. I held on the bed to steady myself. I felt a fear ran down my whole body. My body trembled with fear.
Dear My Sweet Emy!
He’s back. He’s back for me…

Well done OP

Who the heck is tormenting my Emma

Chapter Fourty Two
Emma’s POV.
“Are you fine?” Edan asked me for the fifth time and like all the other times I simply nodded.
“You don’t look fine. Emma! Is something wrong? Tell me.”
He placed his hand on mine.
What should I tell him?
I’m just so scared right now. After
reading that letter from Den. I just
can’t concentrate on a single thing.
My mind replaying those words in the letters.
Dear My sweet Emy!
Why? Why he had to come back? Why when all the things in my life started going back to normal?
Edan took my hand bringing it to his lips, he gently kissed.
His lips create an electronic sensation in my whole body.
“Are you nervous?” He asked still concerned.
“Yes.”
It was partly true. Yes, I was nervous. I was nervous to meet his family especially his mother after that incident. But above all I was scared, I was worried.
Those words just don’t leave my mind.
Those words…
My sweet Emy! Do you really think
that you could escape from me? Were
you that dumb to not know that I’ll
find you no matter where you go?
Huh! I’m back. I’m back for you. I
gave you a chance, a second chance.
You could have been with me right now. And not with that f—–g rich
a—–e. We could have been like
before. But you ruined that and now
you’re gonna pay for that Emy!
Your worst nightmare is back. And
this time you won’t be able to get rid
of it.
And don’t you dare say a word to
your that f—–g bastard or you’ll face the consequences. And believe
me, my sweet Emy, I’ll just love to
crush him.
From yours,
Den.
I nearly gagged while reading the word yours. I wanna scream on remembering those words. I am dying inside by reading that threat. I haven’t told anyone, not even Kate about it. I don’t even know how I just managed to make myself ready for this dinner.
“Emma! Stop frowning. Everything’s gonna be just fine. Don’t worry my mother will like you.” Edan assured, still thinking that I was nervous because of this family meeting but in reality, the reason is quite different.
He drew soothing circles on my palm with his thumb.
I felt myself a little bit at ease but a worry still inside my mind.
“We are here.” I looked through the window and looked a mansion. It was beautifully designed. The architecture of the house was absolutely breathless. A garden filled with all kinds of flowers and trees surrounded both sides of the mansion.
The gate opened automatically, Edan stopped the car in front of the main entrance of the house.
“Ready?” I looked towards him and simply nodded.
He came to my side and gave me his hand. I took it and stood beside him. His arm engulfed around my waist and he pulled me closer to his body.
“Don’t worry. Everything’s gonna be just fine.” His breath fanning on my neck and I shivered.
I should really get used to it.
But every time when I’m intimately close to him. It’s just a hell of a new thing and I just can’t control it.
A driver came and drove his car to the garage I guess.
Still holding me close to his body we entered his house.
The interior was 10 times more beautiful. The pictures hanging the walls. Their frames I could tell were made of gold and the pictures looked really expensive.
There were antique pieces placed at every corner. A chandelier hanging from the top.
The designing, the architecture, the whole house looked like it could take one’s breath away.
The whole house looked like it belongs to some royalty.
The size of the house looked 3 times enormous than mine.
He led me to a living room. A butler opened the door. My heart raced up.
Oh God! Help me! I hope I don’t make
any blunder and don’t make a fool out of myself. Oh, God! Please help
me.
I never even felt like this while giving an interview or an exam. As some people get a hell of a nervous while giving an interview or when appearing in exams.
But I wasn’t like this. I had a great self-confidence.
I was never afraid to face anything until Edan came.
I still remember how hell I was confused and nervous while meeting my new Boss.
My lips curled into a slight smile while remembering that day.
He squeezed my hand a little assuring that everything will be fine.
I gave him a small smile.
A person who looks like he was in his sixties was sitting on the couch, beside him was Edan’s mom.
“Hi, Dad!” Edan greeted the man.
He stood up and gave Edan a hug and smiled.
“Finally! My stubborn son is back.” He chuckled.
I looked at his father. His eyes blue like Edan’s. His masculine features also resembling Edan’s. He looked like as the old version of Edan. Only the difference was that his father had blonde hair. Most of his hair had turned grey.
“And who is this beautiful young lady?” His attention turned to me.

“Dad! Meet my girlfriend. Emma James.” My heart just did a flip by hearing the word girlfriend from his mouth. And especially knowing that it was me who he was referring to. I just can’t stop from feeling the happiness, the joy, the love.
“Wait! Sorry son. What you just said? Your girlfriend? This lady right here is your girlfriend?” His father questioned and my heart just dropped.
What if he hadn’t like the fact that I’m
his girlfriend…
I know I’m not that beautiful and I
just don’t suite with Edan. I may have
a status but not as much as higher
than Edan’s.
I did wrong. I made a mistake
coming here. I knew that they’ll just
never like the thought of Edan dating
me.

Chapter Fourty Three
Emma’s POV.
“Wait! Sorry son. What you just said? Your girlfriend? This lady right here is your girlfriend?”
My heart beating faster.
His father asked Edan with his eyebrows furrowed.
“Yes, Dad. She’s the one.” Edan smiled looking towards me.
His father looked at me for a moment. And then a smile cracked on his face.
“Well then. Welcome to our family dear!” He smiled and enveloped me in a tight hug.
My expressions changed to a shocked one.
What just happened?
One time he’s just like I’m not that girl for Edan and the very next moment I’m welcomed?
“I didn’t mean to startle you. I was just so d–n shocked to finally meet my stubborn son’s girl.”
Oh!
I smiled feeling a little embarrassed. I knew he got the idea of me being nervous or feared because of my facial expressions.
“Hey, hon! Finally, your prayers have been answered.” He chuckled looking towards his wife.
Edan’s mom simply nodded. Her eyes looking me like I’m a kind of some specimen or an object under observation by the science students.
She stood up and walked towards her husband.
Her eyes boring into mine like if she’s trying to search something?
“Hi! It’s really nice to meet you guys.” I said politely with a forced smile.
How could I just smile with his mother looking towards me like I’m some kind of alien? No offense but I like Edan’s father. He’s nice. But until now I can’t just say anything about his mother.
“Isn’t she beautiful hon!” His father commented and I replied with a thank you.
She simply nodded.
Now I was getting a hell of nervous and confused.
Her stares were giving me shivers. It makes me feel like I did a big d–n mistake by falling for Edan. And let alone come here with him…
“Mom!Dad! Where are others?” Edan took my hand.
“They must be in the lawn.” His mother replied.
“They are probably waiting for you.” With that, his mother went out of the living room while giving me a last look.
At least she didn’t glare at me.
Should I be thankful? Well, thanks. I
guess!
“Calm down. She’s not bad. She’s just kind of… You know…just concerned.” Edan whispered in my ear.
Well, tell me about that! Concern for
her son?
Hmm!
“Why? Can’t this little boy take care of himself?” I teased.
He chuckled and encircled an arm around my waist. He pulled me closer, so close that there wasn’t any space left between us.
Thank God his father had left with his
wife just now.
Or I would have been a nervous
wreck by now.
Especially having Edan this close to
me.
“Believe me, sweetheart! It isn’t little.” He smirked and my eyes shot wide on realizing what he was referring to.
A deep red color made its way to my cheeks. I bet I was looking like a ripe tomato by now.
D–n it! What the hell Edan! Eww.
He’s so Uhhh!
“Edan!” I complained.
“What? I just told you a fact.” He winked acting all innocent.
“Yeah right!” I rolled my eyes.
He chuckled and give a quick peck on my lips.
“Let’s go. They are all meeting to finally meet my girlfriend.” His arms still encircled around my waist.
“Girlfriend? Really? I don’t remember agreeing with you to be your girlfriend. Or I’m missing something?”
I know I wasn’t ready to be his girlfriend when he first asked me but now I’m ready to enter into this relationship.
Yes, I am. I’m not stepping back. I
love him and I want to remain by his
side. I want Edan with me. I want him
to be there for me when there’s no
one. I want him to be my light, my savior, my ray of hope at the end of
the tunnel of despair. I want him to
never leave me.
“Well, you can’t do anything now. Whether you agree or not. Whether you like it or not. You are mine. My girlfriend. My everything. I’m not leaving you ever.” He looked straight to my eyes. I could just tell that those words were straight from his heart.
His eyes held no regret, no confusion but pure confidence, pure care for me. Love for me.
“Well, my possessive boyfriend. Let me tell you. I’m really honored to be your girlfriend and above all, I don’t want you to leave me ever. I want you to hold me like this forever.”
Truth. That’s the truth. I don’t want
him to ever give up on us.
He had never done it and I hope he
never do it. Despite all my rejections,
all my No’s he kept on striving and
ended in making me fall for him, to
fall for him hard.
I satisfied smile made its way to his lips and he claimed my lips in a brief, lingering kiss.
“Let’s go.”
With me in his arms. We headed towards the lawn. As we entered, the beautiful odor of different flowers engulfed us. At least there were 40 rows of different types of flowers. There were 4 rows having 4 different colors of rose plants. Then there were at least 2 rows of Jasmine. At least 3 rows of tulips and poppy. Some other flowers of different species which I hadn’t seen before were also planted.
I bet they were imported from other
countries.
A fountain was lighted at the other corner. It was made of marble. A shape of an angel was sculptured.
There were some swings also present at the other corner.
At the center some furniture was present. A center table surrounded by chairs.
A couple which I could tell was around 80 was sitting. His parents were beside them.
Edan along with me headed towards where they were. My heart speeds up. My heart pumping against my rib cage.
And the nervousness is back. Great!
“Hey, Granny and Grandpa!” Edan left my hand and hugged the elderly couple.
“My favorite grandson is finally here.” His grandmother kissed him on his cheek.
“Hey, grandma!I thought that I was your favorite.” I heard a voice from behind me.
I turned around to come face to face with no other than the same girl.
The mystery girl.
Her eyes wide open and I’m pretty sure I had the same expression like hers.
“Everyone meet my girlfriend. Emma James. Emma! Meet my grandparents.” I turned to meet his grandparents.
“Hi!” I politely greeted.
“So we finally get to meet you. Come give this old woman a hug.” I first felt hesitated but then step forward. I bent down and she enveloped me in a tight hug.
“I’m glad to meet you finally. We all have been waiting to meet you.” His grandmother said softly and my lips curled into a smile.
I like her. She’s so nice and sweet. It reminds me of my own grandmother. She had always loved me. We had a strong bond. My other cousins used to say that I was her favorite. But she used to love every each of his grandchildren with same love.
I missed her.
“Ruby! You’re squeezing her.”
“Oh, Robert! Shut up! You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting to finally meet Ed’s girl.” She said to her husband.
Ed’s girl.
I felt my cheeks warm up. A slight blush formed on my face.
She let go of me and gave me a last kiss on my cheek.
Then his grandfather hugged me.
“Ed! Aren’t you gonna introduce us?” The same girl complained.
Edan chuckled.
“Emma! Meet my sister Lily and my brother Justin.”
Sister? D–n, he was with her sister
that night in the restaurant. And I
thought she was his…
Idiot! Emma, you’re an idiot.
“Hi, there! So my idiot brother had finally decided to show up with her girlfriend.” She said and hugged me tightly.
“Nice to meet you,” I said returning the hug.
“Again.” She winked and chuckled.
“I think I did a great job by sending Ed after you that night.” I know very well to what night she was referring to.
I smiled remembering that night. It was the night when I realized my feelings for her. I had realized then that I like Edan but I kept on denying.
“Hi!” I said to Justin and he replied with a hi and smiled. He had blonde hair like his mothers with blue eyes like his father’s. He was really handsome.
But not more than Edan.
Seriously! That’s not the time to think about it. I shake that silly thought away.
So, I finally had met Edan’s family. They all were nice.
I’m really glad that they had accepted me.
Apart from his mother. I think she hates me.
But why?
“Dinners ready.” A maid entered and informed us.
“Well, its time for dinner. Let’s go.” His father stood up and entered the house followed by other family members.
“Where’s Belle?” Edan questioned Justin.
Belle? Is there someone left whom I
hadn’t met.
“She said she’ll be here in 10 minutes. She and the kids were at her parents. Now they are on their way.” He replied.
Kids?
That means she’s Justin’s wife. I didn’t know that he was married and had kids.
Edan never told me about that.
Edan nodded.
We were all settled down on the table. Edan sitting beside me and Lily my other side. Beside Lily was her grandparents. Edan’s parents were sitting beside him.
At least three chairs were empty in front of us. Justin was sitting in front of Edan.
The maids entered with different dishes in their hands. By and by the table got filled with different dishes. There were bottles of wines and juices also placed on the table.
“Sorry. I got stuck in the traffic.” I heard a feminine voice.
I looked at her. She was pretty. She had green eyes and curly blonde hair. She had tan skin. She was wearing a knee length dress.
She kissed Edan’s mum’s cheek.
“It’s okay dear! We hadn’t started yet. Where are my troublemakers?” Edan’s mom smiled.
Woah! She smiled.
“Uncle Ed!!!” Before anyone could say a word. Two kids came running in.
They looked like they were twins. They both had blonde hair. The girl wearing a pink frock and a pink headband on her hair. She looked so adorable. The boy wearing a casual T-shirt and shorts.
Edan stood up from his chair and picked them up.
“We missed you.” They said in unison.
Aww! They’re so adorable.
“Really?” Edan grinned and kissed them on their cheeks.
They nodded, then their attention drew towards me.
“Uncle Ed! Is she’s the fairy you were talking about?” The boy said.
Fairy?
My stupid heart flipped. He called me a fairy? All these are simple words but when they came from the person that matters the most to you, that loves you. It made you feel special.
“She’s is the one.” Edan looked into my eyes and gave a heart drenching smile.
“She’s pretty.” They both say in unison and then giggled.
“That she is.”
Thousands of butterflies invaded my stomach.
“Dinners getting cold,” Robert said.
The new girl which I believe is Belle went to her husband and give him a quick peck on his lips.
After that she and her kids sat in the vacant seats. Edan returned to his own seat.
“Hi, there! I’m Isabelle.” She smiled.
“Hi! I’m Emma. Nice to meet you.” I return her smile.
“So-”
“Ladies! No talking on the dinner table.” Isabelle was cut off by Edan’s mum.
She chuckled. “As you say, mom.”
I smiled.
I felt great around Edan’s family. They give you the warmth and feeling of your own family.
I’m really glad that I get to meet them.
to be continued……

Chapter Forty four
Emma’s POV.
The dinner went quite well. I could tell there were strict rules of no talking while eating here.
Not a single person uttered a single word. Only the clattering of plates, our knives and forks can be heard. Only twice did Belle said her kids to behave who were playing with there food. They look so adorable. I wanna cuddle them and give them a tight hug.
Aww. I just love kids…
I smiled looking at them, they pouted when their mother scolded them for playing with food.
“Imagine our kids like that. You’ll be teaching them manners just like that and for me, I’ll be entertaining myself by the show.” Edan brushed his lips to my ears and whispered.
I could sense a smirk plastered there on his face.
Our kids?
I blushed. My whole body warmed up as my checks radiating heat. They were deep red by now, I am sure.
I could just think about it. Edan, me and our kids. Our little happy family.
Wait! Where did that thought just
dawned from? I hate Edan for this.
He could easily sweep me away by
just his d–n words.
No offense! But the thought is quite
wonderful.
Before I could resist, a smile made its way to my lips.
We finished the dinner and soon we were served with the sweet dish.
After we all were done with our dinner. We stood up. The maids came one after another to carry away the dishes.
“I guess you like that idea,” Edan whispered in my ear leaving a gentle kiss there.
I felt electric shocks throughout my body.
D–n it Edan! Stop it.
I glared at him but failed miserably.
He was having an amused smile on his face.
“Edan! Stop it.” I mouthed.
“So bad! I can’t resist you. But you have to admit that thought is quite awesome. You and me with our kids. Just us. And-”
“Edan!” I tried to hold a stern face but a d–n smile just cracked open on my lips.
“I know you are thinking it too.” He winked.
“Awww. We hate to interrupt you two lovebirds.” I turned around to see Lily and Belle.
“But that girl is ours for the rest of the night.”
What?
They both grinned.
Lily held my right arm and Belle handed her daughter to Edan.
“Hey! That’s not fair.” Edan complained.
“Oh! Don’t get lovesick, my brother! We’ll return her to you. But for now, she’s ours.” Lily teased and grinned.
“But-”
“We aren’t hearing anything from you. You take care of Ella.” Isabelle handed her to Edan.
“Bye.” Lily waved him giggling and took my arm.
We left a confused Edan and headed in the opposite direction. Isabelle and Lily laughing while my lips twitched in a slight smile.
Oh, poor Edan.
We went upstairs and into a room.
The room was colored in purple with mauve color curtains hung on the window. A middle-sized bed placed in the center. At the corner was a walk-in closet. Beside it was placed a dressing table.
“Make yourself comfortable.” Lily smiled.
I along with Isabelle moved towards the couch placed near the window.
Lily sat in front of us on her bed.
“So Emma! Finally. Like finally you had made my brother fall for you.” Lily grinned and a slight blush created on my cheeks.
Well, the feeling was mutual. We both fell for each other. I just took some
time to realize it.
“Do you even talk? I haven’t heard you say a single word so far.” I chuckled as Isabelle said that.
“I actually do.” I smiled.
“So how you both met?” Isabelle grinned.
“Oh! Lemme tell!” Lily cheered.
“Yeah, why not? Go ahead.” I smiled.
And then she went on telling about that night. The night when I went on a blind date with Kate and met his brother. But I know the truth was different.
“Oh! So you both met because of Lil?” Isabelle looked at me.
“Actually. Uh…”
Should I tell them about me being his
PA? Should I tell them that I had already known him before that night?
“Hmm?” They both questioned with a sparkle in their eyes.
OK, I’ll tell them. There’s no point to
hide it.
“Actually I was working as Edan’s PA. And I had known him already before that night.”
“Oh my God!” They said in a unison.
“He never told me about that.” Lily pouted.
“Nor me,” Isabelle complained.
And I laughed.
“How much time you had spend being his PA?”
“Uh! It’s almost 3 months.”
I smiled remembering our three
months. Our first encounter, my new
job, my new boss, our fights, my
rejection, his tries, his confession. A
lot of things just happened in these
three months. A lot of things. But
these are the best months of my life.
They both grinned looking towards me.
I couldn’t tell what they were thinking or what was going on in their minds. But I could tell by that sparkle in their eyes and that smile they were giving to me that it was related to us.
“What?” I raised my eyebrows questioning.
“Nothing.” They giggled.
OK! Something’s fishy is going here.
“So Isabelle!”
“Call me Belle.” I nodded.
“So, Belle! What were the names if those adorable troublemakers?” I asked smiling, remembering those two adorable, cute kids.
“Well, they are twin. Ella and Drake. And believe me, they are troublemakers. They are always up to something. And would you believe? Justin is with them too! He always helps them to succeed in their plans. He had spoiled them.” Belle complained.
“It sounds so cute.” I chuckled.
“Cute? Oh, you don’t know it, Emma!” She chuckled.
I laughed.
“Lily? So a college student?”
“Just got in NYU.” She smiled.
“Really? Wow! I just got in too.” I told her about my semester and my admission there.
“We will live together in an apartment. Yeah! That means we get to spend more time together.”
“Apartment? You won’t be residing in the dorms?” Mostly college girls reside in dorms. Some say that they want to get the full college experience. They love to party, going out and some just bunk their classes also.
Well, that’s college. No hard and fast discipline. No restrictions. A student has a free will. They could either go to college or not. Their choice. Then there are parties nearly every weekend.
One could just feel the sense of freedom there. But one can also be carried away with its charms.
College life is although a life of fun, adventure and exploring a hell of a new world but it is also the path to your future career. It could turn your life into a different one.
“No. I wanna live in a separate apartment. I am not into living in domes. I like my privacy and I like my own space. So no. I’m not much of a fan of them. And besides Edan is d–n possessive. He won’t like the idea of me living in one of the dorms. Would you believe he is super concerned about the type of friends I make.” She sighed.
Tell me about that. Edan is possessive? Well, I know that.
He was even so pissed when he gets to know about Kevin. And he was a friend only. I smiled remembering his reaction when he first got jealous of Kevin.
And how could I forget that time? It was the time when he first kissed me and I declared it a mistake. Well, that mistake leads me and ended me in falling in love with Edan.
It was the best mistake I had ever
made.
“Never mind. But I love my big brothers. They only want my safety.” Lily smiled wide showing her white teeth.
“Well, you are their little princess.” Belle smiled.
“That I am. But I’m not little now.” She pouted.
“But for them. You will always be their little princess.” Belle said chuckling. Lily groaned but then she cracked laughing “So Emma! Do you like our family?” Belle questioned.
I love them and there was no doubt
in that.
“Actually I love your family. You all had just made me feel like I’m in my own house with my own family. You had given me the warm, the comfort, the love, the care that my own family would give. Thank you all for that.” I stated the truth.
“Aww! That’s so sweet of you. Thanks and you are always welcome.” Lily and Belle enveloped me in a group hug.
Yup! Feels like home.
“But I guess your mother isn’t much thrilled about me,” I said disappointedly.
They looked me for a second then started laughing.
What did I say?
“Believe me, Emma!” Lily laughed.
“Belle, you remember when Justin brought you to meet us?” Lily said laughing.
“Yeah! How could I forget that.” Belle replied.
I looked at them confused.
“Hey! Hello! Could someone please solve this puzzle?” I asked trying to comprehend what they were saying.
“OK. We will tell you.” Belle said recovering from laughter.
I was thrilled to know about that time. Belle told me how his mother was cold with her and how heck she was nervous. She laughed while telling me about how she tripped while getting out of the car. But thankfully Justin was there to catch her.
I laughed and heard her story with amusement and curiosity.
“So you see she’s just testing you. You have to be bold and prove her that you are that girl for Ed. Believe me, she’s gonna love you.” Belle assured me and I nodded.
I felt my phone beep.
2 messages.
I opened them. They were from no other than Edan.
Missing you. Come on! Come back
already.
I smiled feeling my stomach flipped.
Emma! Are you coming or should I
come?
Another message.
Come on! At least reply. OK. I just
can’t hold on anymore. I’m coming.
What? Seriously Edan.
“Looks like our Ed is getting impatient. OK. Let’s go we don’t want the lover boy to wait any longer.” Belle said probably getting the hint.
I nodded and headed downstairs.
As we reached the bottom stair. I saw Edan coming towards us.
“Finally! They decided to pardon you.” Edan chuckled.
“Excuse me, Mister. We were having fun.” Belle slapped him playfully on his shoulder. I chuckled and Lilly laughed.
“Getting love sick already?” Lily teased.
“Oh, you don’t know how much.” Edan looked towards me. My heart skipped a beat.
“Yeah right!” They both chuckled.
“See you around Emma!” They bid me bye and went towards the living room, leaving us both.
Edan stepped forward and in a flash, his lips were on mine. I gasped at the sudden act. He took this as an opportunity and entered in my mouth, exploring it.
The kiss was not gentle, nor sweet but it was wild and demanding. I melted in his arms and clung to him by my arms around his neck.
He kissed me like he just can’t get enough of me.
After a wild session. We parted leaving me a hot mess. My breath heavy and I was panting.
He rested his forehead on mine.
“I just can’t get enough of you.” He whispered and kissed on the bridge of my nose.
Please don’t ever get enough of me.
I smiled warmly and looked into his eyes. The same blue eyes. The same eyes for whom I fell. The blue color of them like a deep peaceful ocean. Calm and peaceful. I could just never get bored of looking at them.
“What are you searching for?” He questioned.
“Your eyes,” I whispered.
“What?” He was confused.
I chuckled and averted my eyes from his.
“Nothing.” I suppressed a smile and bit my lower lip.
Edan chuckled and we headed towards the living room.
We sat on the vacant couch just across where his parents were sitting.
“So Emma! What does your father do?” Edan’s dad asked.
“Sir-”
“Call me Richard.”
I nodded.
“Actually Richard. My dad has his own company of architecture designing. His company deals with all kinds of the interior as well as exterior designs.” I replied.
“Dad! You know Mr. James. Right?”
“Yeah! I remember him. We were his clients. He’s a great businessman as well as a great friend of mine. The last time I met him was when I was the C.E.O. of Wilton’s co. But I’ll surely like to meet him again.”
“Well, Dad! Emma is the daughter of Mr. James.” Edan told him.
“What? Really? Is your father James? James Erikson?” He questioned me.
“Yes.” I smiled.
“Great! I’m really glad. I’ll surely like to meet him. How is he?”
“He’s fine. Thanks.”
He nodded and gave me a warm fatherly smile.
We talked, laughed and enjoyed our time for a while. I get to cuddle Ella and Drake. They giggled and told me stories. They both were 5 years old. I love the way they were telling the stories with their tiny, cute hands. They looked so adorable gesturing with their hands and telling the story with excitement. Their eyes sparkling.
Ella has blue eyes like his father and Drake has green eyes resembling his mum.
I enjoyed talking to Edan’s grandparents. His mother also laughed when Robert told us about how he was scared to even talk to Ruby when he first met her.
I enjoyed their company.
“We should be going now. It’s getting late.” Edan stood up.
“Hey, son! Why don’t you just stay here the night? Its really been a long time since you last stayed here.” Richard said to his son.
“Yes, Edan! Your father’s right. Come on! Give us some time too.” His Grandparents complained.
“I don’t know. Emma! Are you fine with it?” Everyone’s attention drew towards mine.
“I-I…”
What should I say? Yes? No?
I’ll love to stay. Maybe by staying I
may get to know his mother and
might get able to make her like me.
“Yes. I’ll love to stay.” I politely answered.
“OK. We’ll stay.” Edan declared and a smile cracked on everyone’s face.
They really love him. And I know he loves his family too.
I was nervous and afraid of meeting them, but now I’m comfortable around them.
I’m glad that I came and had finally met them all.
