As much as Jackson was worried, he was equally furious, his eyes flared "Why did you drink so much?" he looked at her, trying to place her comfortably in the back seat of the car, and then he quickly drove her to his house. He helped steady her, while he helped her into the house and placed her on the couch."Why did you drink so much?" he asked her again, she stirred in her drunkenness, her voice low and her speech slurred"Everything is so confusing" she said "And I'm so tired"He saw tears form at the corner of her eyes, threatening to fall and when they did he knew she had no strength left in her that moment to fight her sadness, so he let her, his hands finding hers to show her that she wasn't alone."Why's evervthing spinning?" she asked, her eyes closed."Because vou're drunk, you should get some sleep" he stood up to sleep, but she held him in place."Don't go" she pleaded, holding his hands tightly as the world spun around her, an unfamiliar feeling of drunkenness settling i
Emily woke up the next morning, her head heavy and her mouth sour. She winced as the bright lights streaming in from the window hit her eyes, she quickly covered her head with a blanket, unwilling to get up. She needed to sleep some more, the bed was so comfortable, yet so different, then she heard a familiar voice calling her name softly"Emily, wake up" she jolted upright and immediately regretted it as a sharp pain sliced through her head and she fell back on the bed immediately, she peeked through the blanket to find Jackson standing before her, with a tray in his hands. He sat next to her on the bed, filling nose with sweet smelling coffee that her mouth watered immediately. "It's way past noon" he said, sitting on the bed next to her"What!" she sat up again but more gently this time "I slept that long?" she asked and he nodded. Then he handed her a cup of coffee "This should wake you up properly" he said and she took it from him, her eyes casted down as she was unable to look
BREAKING NEWS: SECOND SON OF HATTON GROUP JACKSON HATTON GETS ENGAGED TO BILLIONAIREHEIRESS BLAIR LAWRENCEThe headlines were bold and glaring in Jackson's face as he stared at his phone which still kept buzzing constantly in his hands. He looked up at Emily who mirrored his expression, a shocked stare gazing back at him, her brows raised questioningly."What's going on?" she asked, confusion brewing in their midst "You're engaged? How are you engaged?""I don'tknow" he said back "I have no idea what's going on""How can you have no idea what's going on?" Emily sprang up from the bed, she had so many emotions brewing within her and she had no idea which one to address first but in everything she felt betrayed, and it was evident on her face when Jackson grabbed her suddenly."Emily listen to me, I have no idea what's going on you have to trust me""Trust you?" she repeated with a sordid expression "You have to tell me the bloody truth, how the hell are you engaged?"I don'tknow!!"

Emily stared at the guy who walked into the elevator with tears in her eyes but he seemed more amused than concerned but for some reason she didn't feel embarrassed, she felt too heartbroken to feel embarrassed or even care but the guy kept his eyes on her and she looked back at him because he wouldn't stop staring."What?" she said, getting annoyed that and hoping the elevator would move faster. He looked at her and offered a handkerchief "I mean you're crying""I'm fine" she said back to him "I don't need that""Just take it, I don't like seeing pretty girls cry especially when it’s over a guy" he said and Emily gave him a look"What makes you think it's over a guy?""It's not even twelve pm yet and it clearly looks like you're wearing yesterday's clothes" the guy said and it was then Emily began to feel embarrassed, she took the handkerchief from him and said nothing. The elevator pinged and Emily was more than happy to get off but the doors didn't slide open, it stayed stuck."Wha
Jackson stared at Blair dumbfounded, unable to speak or move as his eyes travelled down her belly that still seemed flat and she rolled her eyes"Of course, I'm not showing yet. I'm just a few weeks gone" she said to him, then she stood up from the table and roamed the large study aimlessly."My father is ruthless and if he finds out I’m pregnant, he's going to send me off far away with no money and probable kill Jesse""Jesse?" Jackson questioned."My boyfriend, the father of my baby and who by the way doesn't know anything yet so he probably hates me now because he moved all the way here for me and I can't even -" her voice broke halfway as tears gathered in a pool at the corner of her eyes and she turned away from him, with Jackson still staring dumbfounded ather."Uh -" he stretched his hands towards her in a bid to console her but he didn't know how to so he retreated until she turned back to face him, her eyes crystal clear."So please, just ride along till I figure what to do b
Jackson’s jaw dropped the moment the crowd parted to reveal Emily kissing the strange guy she came to the party with. His fist balled in anger beside him as he was unable to pull his eyes away when suddenly he heard Blair mutter beside him “That son of a bitch!”He watched her march towards them with confusion etched on his face but suddenly she stopped with a gasp and her hands over her mouth. Ethan was there, ripping Emily out of the guy’s hands and punching him square in the face and the party seemed to go silent for a second. No one moved or said a word, even the chandeliers seemed to stand perfectly still. Then the murmurings began.“Jesse!” he heard Blair scream running towards the strange guy and Jackson stood confused“Jesse?” he questioned himself, that’s Jesse? The strange guy Emily’s kissing is Blair’s Jesse? Jackson rubbed his temples in confusion walking but he stood with his legs unwilling to move, and Blair was holding Jesse and sending death glare in Ethan’s direction,
“Oh my God! Oh my God!” Emily panicked as she watched the blood flow and unsure of what to do while Blair grunted in pain on the floor grabbing her tummy. Emily rushed to her in an attempt to hold her but Blair pushed her away“Get away from me!” she yelled loudly “Call someone, Call 911”Emily looked at her, realizing she had to be the one to call 911, with shaky hands she fished out her phone the same moment Jackson breezed into the room, the spectacle before him suddenly dawning on him and his mouth fell open and like a reflex Jackson rushed towards Blair.“What happened? Are you okay?” he asked instinctively and not sparing Emily a glance. Immediately Blair pointed towards Emily with animosity festering in her eyes“She pushed me!” she said and Emily gasped in shock, she was about to defend herself when Blair cut through immediately.“Call 911, my baby” a protective hand unconsciously went over her stomach shutting Emily up and dividing Jackson’s attention between them.“Emily!”
The breeze was tender and gentle, carrying the scent of salt and the rhythmic melody of crashing waves as Amelia and Anita lounged by the edge of the private infinity pool overlooking the sparkling turquoise sea. The golden sun bathed their skin in warmth, enveloping them in a serene oasis at the exclusive beachfront resort in Cancun. Amelia discreetly glanced at Ethan where he laughed loudly with the bartender who waited on them, a few meters away, a glass of cocktail held firmly in his hands. Her eyes ran over his strong biceps and well sculpted face and her heart skipped a breath. Taking a deep breath, she turned to Anita who was helplessly drunk, her eyes buzzing with excitement but Amelia’s bore one of nervous anticipation.“Anita” she called, taking a large sip from the orange flavoured drink in her hands, she was drunk too and her head buzzed but in the perfect way that she liked it, that kept her steady and afloat.“I’ve been thinking--- tonight might be the night” she looked
