CHAPTER 39
LUCA’S POV
“Be careful, we don’t want you hurting yourself now, do we?” I step into the room as Emberlynn stops tearing her clothes off her body.
I see the tears in her eyes and thank God again for Aria, the truth was I hadn’t noticed she was acting off or worse that she had been watching us since Aria came down, as soon as William had tripped me or rather set the trap that tripped me I had decided that I didn’t care what his daughter thought, I had let a minute of shame shake the foundation of years of planning and working.
“Finally took your eyes of my friend”, she says turning away, she walks into what is obviously a closet, she comes back with a pink robe.
“I did it all on purpose”, she looks at me with wide eyes and then anger, I can see the rage in her eyes.
Sincerely, it was Aria who noticed the reason why she left and picked up her phone and quickly texted m
CHAPTER 40ARIA’S POV“And that is it”, he says looking into my eyes.I shake my head, “I don’t believe a single crap you just said”, I say.So this is Luca and I having a conversation I thought was sincere some minutes ago but now I'm not so sure, its past 2 in the morning and Luca was finally able to entangle himself from Emb, he took a quick shower and came over to my room by 2 to tell me he had been planning all this from little.A stupid story of how he craves power and how he would let nothing stop him, apparently that was why he left me or rather made me leave him.I sincerely didn’t believe this story, I know there is something driving him but all this story about him being this power hungry person is something I don’t believe in at all.“So let me understand it all, you are saying that you had been following up the Smiths just so you can get a p
CHAPTER 41EMBERLYNN’S POVI sit up wandering what woke me up, I stretch and feel for Luca, he isn’t here, did he go back home while I was asleep.The bathroom door opens and he comes out with a smile, “Morning”, he says coming towards me, “Wait did you hear the scream too”, he asks his face becoming more serious, losing all playfulness.“Scream?” I think, was that what woke me up? “I’m not sure but something woke me up, we should check it out”, I grab my robe from where it hung on the bathroom door.Together we walked out towards the stairs, I clap my hands as we pass the darkened hall way so the lights can come on.When we reach the stairs I see Aria, she looks disheveled, I start running towards her, whatever could have happened to her.All of a sudden I stop I feel the hairs on my body stand on end, goose bumps attack me, I feel my heart be
CHAPTER 42AUTHORESS’S POVEven on those rare rainy days where New York experience a heavy downpour, there have never been such gloom. Williams sat in an open coffin as the Rev sprinkled holy water and said some prayers that nobody seemed to be listening to.Everyone was shocked, it wasn’t a matter of grief this time, well Emberlynn of course and her father’s close staff were in grief but for the rest of the thousand plus it was shock.The great William Smith tripped over his feet in his mansion and fell to his instant death that was what the hospital staff said, there was no chance of survival, it was instant, he didn’t have a chance at life after that fall.Emberlynn had not said a word, she had just signed the cheque for the preparation of the burial, it was held a week after his death, she contemplated moving him to Scotland but New York had always been his home, so everyone who could make it had travelled down.And Luca
CHAPTER 43 EMBERLYNN’S POV “The deal with Maurice and Stephens will be terminated, the numbers are going down, in 2 weeks we have lost millions of dollars and I see no way they can bring it up in such a short while, I'm not just talking bringing it up, I'm saying give us numbers that will make the books stop looking like a damn playing ground”, I say dumping the folder on the table. It’s a meeting with the board and this particular project has been yielding loss, it was signed after dad’s death, the one week I had been away and for a month were I had been the acting CEO, there had been no change. “I am not saying you're wrong because the numbers are glaringly obvious but I think it’s not right to deal with a woman especially one who is still dealing with grief”, Mr. Sczender says, he has been the biggest thorn in my flesh. I had never cared much for the feminist community, it just wasn’t something I had passion to
CHAPTER 44LUCA’S POV“You did well and I will be leaving you for now, your wife doesn’t get to know all your gay fantasies are coming to pass when she thinks you’re busy in the office, but you know I might need you again so I won’t be deleting the files I have, do have a lovely day Mr. Sczender”, I say cutting the call.The fool was gay but for the life of me I have no idea why he was so scared of his wife knowing.After the burial of William I had needed someone on the board on myself if not I was sure that Emb would singlehandedly power the companies and I couldn’t have that, I had wanted to sabotage the company from the side and out shine her by bringing solutions but that was too risky so instead I found dirt on Mr. Sczender, which was pretty easy for the record.Everyone aside his wife knew that fact, I still doubted that fact, too many people knew for her to be in the dark but that wasn’t my business, it
CHAPTER 45EMBERLYNN’S POV“To a new era”, Luca says as he raises his glass, I smile and raise mine, Aria though takes her time, if she wasn’t in grief I will think she wasn’t happy with this whole wedding but that wasn’t possible, when she showed up suddenly I asked her what she thought about getting married to Luca again and though she took ages to reply it was the same reply.“I think you should marry him, he feels like a good man, to me”, she had said and rushed me to leave the house as she didn’t want to be there for long.I understood her but for me, I didn’t want to lose that last bond there.I look at her from my seat, I'm seated beside Luca while she is seated opposite us, I wish she will look at me so I can signal her with my eyes, it’s my wedding not my father’s funeral, finally she lifts her glasses with a smile and we clink our glasses together and drink.The waiter com
CHAPTER 46LUCA’S POVI put my phone down after putting the call across to Aria, I sit in my car waiting for her to emerge.Once she comes out I open the passenger’s door for her by leaning in, once she is in I take off.“Was that drama necessary?” she finally breaks the silence.“It’s been long that I was inside you princess”, I say, dropping my right hand on her laps, since the cloth is flay there’s no protection from my hand so I slip it in and fill her wetness through the lace panties she has on, I drag my hands down her sex and she whimpers clamping her legs together.“Tell me all this is mine, tell me you're wet for me”, I say digging my fingers into her thighs, she whimpers more and tries to rub herself against my hand for friction, “tell me” I insist.“All yours, it’s all yours”, she stammers out.I smile and
CHAPTER 47ARIA’S POVLuca is currently speeding down to the Smith’s mansion.As soon as the record ended, I was off Luca’s body setting my clothes so I look a little bit presentable, we already sprayed the car and let the windows down.“She should have listened when I said she should come to my house, now we are hurrying down town in a totally different area just because of her stubbornness, for all we know she may be dead already”, he complains hitting his hands on the steering.“Should I call 911?” I ask, I keep squeezing my clothes, I'm nervous as hell, it would be a new kind of low if my best friend died while I was fucking her husband in his car, not to mention on their wedding day, no that was a total low”.“Yes you should, it would do no good getting there with no help”, Luca says.I immediately pick my phone grateful to have something doing, at least I would stop thi
