Emily’s POV—
I kept staring at Adrian’s back blankly with my jaws dropped! What happened to him suddenly? After yesterday night, did he really feel bad? Did he really realise his feelings for me?? What was the meaning of the protectiveness at the police station and then again just now he proposed that I call Mrs Diana as Grams! He even wants to talk to me later?? Why? What does he want to talk about??
“Emily?? Emily??”
Would he again trick me just like he did last night??
“Ms Emily??”
“Emily??”
“Yes! I am sorry, I was just… yes Grams?” I was so lost that I didn’t even realise when Mrs Diana and Mrs Gomz were calling my name! I replied finally when Mrs Diana pressed my knee.
“Is something wrong Emily? Are you feeling well?” Mrs Diana asked.
I now realised that I might have been having some beads of sweat on my forehead. I wip
Narrator’s POV— “Hey Li!!” Emily wished Linda as she walked in. She was in a good mood. “Hey Em!! Wow! Someone seems very happy??” Linda wiggled her eyebrows and giggled. “Emily, are you back girl??” Sella came out of the kitchen. She was preparing dinner. “Hi Mom!! Can you please make some coffee?? I know you are preparing dinner and this is not a good time for coffee, but I am just feeling like to have some!” Emily said, keeping her purse on the centre table and sitting on the sofa beside Linda. “I will make dear, but don’t make it a habit!” Sella pointed her index finger to Emily and said. “No mom!! I don’t drink coffee at eight o’clock every day!” Emily rolled her eyes. “Did you notice aunty, your daughter is happy today??” Linda teased. “Yeah….she really is!! What can be the reason Linda??” Sella also started teasing Emily. “Maybe a good raise??” Linda shrugged her shoulders! “Or, may
Narrator’s POV—“Coach! Can you change it please?” Elise said brushing her nose with the back of her hand and holding her chin a bit higher as a show of ego!“Please excuse us!” Emily said in a soft unconfident mutter.“Not yet sweety! First I need to resolve the matter with Coach! How dare you enter Adrian’s name as your partner??” Elise sneered at Emily.“Hello?? Who do you think you are to speak to her like this??” Linda stepped forward covering Emily.“Me?? Hahaha!! You must be kidding me!!” Elise snarled and snickered and her two bitchy looking friends chuckled. “First of all I am Elise Walker? The one and only daughter of Walker family?? And secondly, I am Adrian’s girlfriend and I dance with him every year since I have joined the academy!” Elise put her hands across her chest while she spoke and then pointing and waving her one finge
Narrator’s POV—Few days have passed and Emily as promised has spent a few hours with Leona on the weekends. Adrian has been acting all clingy and possessive towards her and has been touching her with all sorts of strange excuses! Emily did feel good about it but she was afraid too! She doesn’t want to fall in Adrian’s trap till he remembered everything about their past! If she did so, then like Linda warned her and also like Elise threatened and mocked her, Adrian will use her, have sex with her and then throw her away like trash! She can’t let that happen at any cost! Thinking all this Emily decided to resist and tolerate the pain of staying away from Adrian because it shall be worth the pain at last!It was a Thursday and Emily had an off day from work at the Ford Mansion today! She had been busy from morning to night last couple of days! After the classes in the academy got over, Emily had to practice dance with Adrian an
Emily’s POV—Mom left me alone with this man who has been causing so much trouble for me from the day one and at least one day I wanted to be able to spend time without him around! Of course he brought Leona, to make way to my room, avoiding my mother’s wrath!! But how come, Mom allowed him??Though I love him and I really have this strange feeling with butterflies appearing and flying in my stomach and my heartbeat increasing rapidly, yet at the moment I was feeling quite annoyed for the invasion of my privacy! I simply want to turn him out of the house or at least show my annoyance, but I can’t since Leona is here too!I didn’t realise when Adrian has started playing Beauty and the beast! I only noticed when I felt his arm wrap around me under the duvet pulling me closer to him! I frowned! He has already slipped under the duvet beside me. The moment I realised I stiffened and then dragged myself away from him but his
Narrator’s POV—Linda couldn’t hide her feelings and her mouth opened wide as well as her eyes! Adrian was going to marry Emily? For real? She remembered how Adrian’s lawyer announced to the press that Adrian and Emily will be engaged soon! Also Adrian was already at the police station when she and Emily went! Does that mean Adrian really was ashamed of his earlier actions and have started to like Emily?Linda frowned in her thoughts but she was still not ready to believe Adrian, at least not yet!“Come let us set the table for dinner.” Sella said as she carried the noodles to the dining table!Linda carried the chicken and placed the bowl on the table too. Just then they heard footsteps and looked towards the source to find Adrian hurrying down the stairs while Leona sadly descending behind Adrian.Adrian walked to Sella and said in his usual powerful and almighty attitude, “Thanks for lettin
Narrator’s POV—In the Ford Mansion, Mr Jason Ford has returned early because he has received a call from his old friend and business associate Mr Harrison Walker! Though the Fords were the richest in the country but the Walkers were a very old and famous family of Odessa and they had a close relationship with the Fords! Millions of business transactions happen in between the Fords and the Walkers and also because of their popularity, Mr Harrison Walker was a very important person on whom Mr Jason was depending a lot! The Walkers support was almost indispensable for Jason to not only win the election and become the Mayor, but he needed their support to remain in the position!When Harrison Walker called Jason Ford and informed him that he was coming in the evening along with his daughter Elise, to meet Jason Ford, Jason left all his works and returned home early to receive the Walkers.“Harris! After such a long time!!” Jaso
Narrator’s POV—Adrian was feeling impatient and irritated! The girl he was trying so hard to make his girlfriend always had excuses to run away from him!! Now, she went to fetch Leona and kept him waiting in the car since more than twenty minutes!! Not only the wait was long and boring but somehow he had no clue what was going on with the girl inside the school! Does she even know where to look for Leona??The door of the car flung open and two long legs came out of it. It was of a 6 feet tall and muscular man with strong and broad shoulder blades. His green eyes gazed around the school premises as if scrutinising the area to locate his target. The look was dangerous and predatory! His chestnut short hair was blowing backward in the wind, and the fair skin wrinkled on his forehead! He stood with his fists clenched and jaws tight for a few second before striding towards the direction where his eyes stopped for a second and his wrinkled skin st
Emily’s POV—Time was running out! It was now two hours past the time the school got over and Leona was nowhere to be found! I ran towards the park as fast as my weak legs could go! I have looked for her everywhere in the classrooms, library and bathrooms!! Leona was not in the school building, at least not when I searched! When I reached the park, I found it empty! It was already getting dark and all the kids have left long back!I looked around for Leona as I screamed her name!“Leona!! Leona!!”I kept looking around and shouting until my voice cracked and no sound came out of my throat! Her name was now coming out in whispers and I was feeling so tired! Tears rolled down my eyes as I had no idea where my Leona was or how was I supposed to find her!!‘Could it be that someone kidnapped her??’ a chill ran down my spins at the thought and I started feeling dizzy!! I was on the point of fainting when
