"Left? Did she return back to L.A?" "No, her passport and everything are still inside, and... I can't... can't find her anywhere." Different thoughts race through my mind as I band my hand on my head. Without hesitation or even changing my clothes, I stormed out of the hotel room and went to the CCTV room to check the footage. The footage showed that she left the hotel and got into a cab, which headed to God knows where, but the good thing was that the cab driver works for this hotel, which means he must have returned back immediately after dropping her off. "Get the car immediately. I will find the driver," I ordered Kingsley as I headed out. On my way, I met with mom, who asked me what was going on, and I told her about Emelia going missing when she saw the message about her. I didn't have time to explain much so I begged her to help me sort out the messages that were going around and I left with May to search for the driver. Upon finding the driver, he told us that he droppe

EMELIA'S POV“Arrghh,” May flinched away from my side, almost rolling off the bed.“What are you doing?”“I don't know.”“What do you mean you don't know when you keep staring like that? Do you want to kill me?” She teased.“I'm sorry, just had a lot of things on my mind,” I explained.“Do you even get a single sleep? Is it because of the rumors?” May asked, and I turned my gaze away from the ceiling to face her.“No, it's something else,” I replied, but she gave me a mean look, expecting me to spill it out. “I had a little make-out with him yesterday.”“What! How could you do that? Have you forgiven him already, and what about Maverick?” May's tone was filled with disbelief.“Of course, I haven't forgiven him. It was just a mistake, which I later regretted and stopped.”“So now you can't stop imagining what happened between the two?” May asked, her arms crossed, waiting for my reply.I let out a soft chuckle as I turned away from her, facing the ceiling. “Why would I think about that?

“I'm very sorry for leaving you alone earlier,” “No, it's fine. See, I'm alright. Those little cockroaches aren't a match for me,” May reassured with a wide smile, which I mirrored.I checked the time again, and it’s now 2:30, but Edward hadn't arrived yet. Then May tapped me, and I raised my head only to see Edward skulking around, as if he’s evading something and if I guessed correctly, it must be his wife.May whispered his name and waved at him to let him know we were here, and he hurried toward us.“I'm sorry, I didn't want Camille to know that I'm going somewhere because she is already fuming with anger at Alberto,” Edward explained.“Really, what happened?” I asked.“I think the prosecutor might order a search and seizure of the A&R Department store that she oversees because they found something,”“That's quite bad,” May remarked.“It's not going to be a problem. It has happened so many times, and after she fumed and whined to Alberto, everything will be sorted out with power

With only the two of us on his private plane, I flashed him a wide smile as I slowly unzipped my dress at the back. As it slipped off my shoulders, falling to the ground, Cassius' gaze intensified as he looked at me lustfully. His hungry eyes trailed down every single movement of my hand as if he were undressing me with his eyes. I removed my bra, revealing my breasts. His hungry gaze and the way he licked his lips, his eyes totally glued to my chest, made me smirk as I knew he was growing impatient. "Your turn." "Sure." One by one, he unbuttoned his shirt and shrugged it off, revealing his well-built body with a chiseled six-pack. My eyes trailed down to the lower side of his stomach where I saw a tattoo, and I wondered when he got that. Moving closer to him, I gently traced it with my index finger and felt some roughness, as if there were some sort of scars under it. I raised my head and looked at him, wanting him to tell me what this was. "I had kidney failure. It was quit

*****A WEEK LATER******"So, you just arrived?""No, it's been a while now. I'm already at home.""And you can't call me to let me know you're back?""I have kids. Moreover, do you inform me before you bolted away to follow the woman you claimed you would never accept back? You left me alone there. Do you even know what I experienced at the hands of her so-called friends?""Why? Did something happened?""Don't even get me started. That lady is totally crazy." As he began to recount his bad day with May, the door opened and Mary walked in with the security following her in, carrying her boxes."How about I call you back later?" I ended the call as I walked down the stairs to hug her and welcome her back, but she just rolled her eyes at me and walked past me without a word.My eyes followed her as she climbed the stairs and headed to the bedroom, the security slightly giving me a slight bow before following her in.I heaved heavily as I also made my way after them and headed to the bedr
