"While you are busy figuring that all out, get me Riverstone," Travis said.It had been a month now since he saw him, the last time he had given him a resounding slap and had his men beat him up, he hoped he was still in good shape to talk because they had a lot to talk about. He could have even freed him a long time but genuinely he forgot about him and Stone never brought it up.They had to talk about Emily, like how Emily became his daughter and how he adopted her because if Emily was Thana, it meant that Riverstone wasn't her biological father. Now he understood why the man didn't care about his daughters, he wondered if Chloe was also adopted, if she was he wouldn't be surprised because she didn't look anything like her parents and she was the ugly version of her sister Emily, well-adopted sister.Travis knew he made a mistake taking Thana for granted, he hurt her beyond repair and before he realized his mistake he came back to meet his little flower blossoming with thorns. She

"I suppose she is Ivy," Leonard laid his opinion forward hoping he was correct."Em...""If she is uncomfortable on her own, she can move in," Leonard suggested. If Ivy was Chloe, it meant that the both of them had cooked up some story of who they were going to be and they strongly stood by their characters for years even convincing their adopted parents and the world of who they truly were.Why was she hiding? It was the question that bugged him the most."She can handle herself," Emily replied."I was thinking of resuming work next week, I feel much better," Emily added.She was truly feeling better, although she still had to support herself once in a while but by next week she was sure she would feel much better and her work didn't require much movement that could make her feel worse, just sitting down and handling a lot of paperwork.She thought doing nothing would be fun but it wasn't, she would have died of boredom if Chloe hadn't shown up today and since Leonard opened a small

"Excuse me?" Emily said not understanding the current situation, yes she admitted to eating in the office and maybe when she left that day the office was a bit disorganized but that didn't mean she was incompetent or not consistent and efficient in her work. It was her hard work that got her this position and if it not for the fact that she was still thinking about being Leonard's woman she would have gotten a promotion or worse be transferred to another branch immediately.The last thing she needed was a newcomer making her look like a fool."You heard me right," Ariel replied rolling her eyes as she threw a file at her. "That is for one of our top clients, she is having a wedding and she wants Klar to customize her wedding gown."Customize? Were Klar now into that? It seemed she missed a lot when she was away, she wondered who suggested that idea because it was a very brilliant idea. She didn't bother to ask Ariel as it seemed the lady was having a bad day."If you are worried that

"You haven't given me anything useful Riverstone," Travis said placing a nail on Riverstone's hand. They brought the piece of shit out of the dungeon and tied him up to a chair, he narrated the story of how his wife brought two teenagers to his house and said she was taking them in as her own.Riverstone was against it but his wife was already known to be barren, he thought she would adopt a small child, not full-grown children. He explained how hard it was for him to adapt to the children but eventually he did but his story was bland to Travis, Travis wanted something tangible that could get him involved in Emily's life."I..I... have told you all I know...they...they are not my biological children," Riverstone cried out. His face was swollen from the random slaps he had gotten from Stone for answering a question wrongly or not giving vital details.Travis stared at him as he brought out a hammer, he placed it on the nail on his hand and hit it right on the head Riverstone stared at

"It is nice Emily," Bella said winking her eyes secretly at Emily. So her brother was a romantic? She wasn't one to see Leonard kissing his love interest publicly not that he wouldn't do it as he was a shameless man but it was a rare sight or maybe it had just been a while since she last saw him in something serious but were they like official, she had forgotten to ask Emily probably after dinner she would."It reminds me of your mother's cooking," Cam said to Bella but Bella only nodded her head and smiled, she couldn't remember the last time her mother entered the kitchen and even if she did she couldn't quite remember how it tasted like to now compare it to Emily's."How was work today?" Bella asked Emily, she heard she resumed."It was alright, I am taking online classes as going to school and working doesn't sit well with Leonard," Emily confessed."Why? Is he worried some fine boy would sweep you off your feet," Cam teased. He was with Bella going back to school but because of h

Emily got to work a bit late as she had wasted time making sure Leonard took his medication and was resting. She also informed Bella to keep an eye on him if she wasn't leaving so soon, and Bella was shocked to hear that Leonard ate crayfish. If she had been observant, she could have warned Emily against giving Leonard crayfish, but she had spent the whole time talking about Cam."I apologize for being late," Emily said as she stepped into Mark's office. They just finished a meeting, and she missed it."Emily, I understand that you have found favor in Leonard's eye, but you need to understand that this is an organization people are watching.""I am so sorry," Emily said. She knew very well that punctuality was key, and every time Mark let her off, rumors were flying.Mark didn't mean to scold her, but it was important that Emily knew what it meant to do her job."Ariel's plan was selected as I was unable to get yours during the meeting," Mark announced."I totally understand." If she

"Mark said that the client will be here very soon," Emily said, taking her seat."Yeah, has he assigned you with what will you do?""You can tell me what to do," Emily suggested as Ariel twirled in her chair."Well, you don't need to do much, since you are not working under my project, you can follow me around and learn.""Of course." This was really going to be fun. Was she out of her mind to be placing orders here and there? Emily thought, shaking her head in disbelief.* * *In an orphanage, a lady walks in wearing a dark shade and a face cap, if one didn't look closely, they would have missed that it was Chloe Riverstone. She walked through the reception like she had been here more than once and was familiar with the environment as she entered an office without knocking. She stared at the two ladies, who seemed to be busy talking in a low voice about God knows what. One dressed as a nun, while the other a cleaner.She removed her glasses and face cap immediately and sat down in

"Well, I was just thinking about some ideas in my head, but I have not decided on the angle. I would love it to play out," Ariel said, collecting the sketch from the client to briefly go through it, but even if she did, she wasn't sure she would be able to get anything out of it."I think what she means is that the light colors would be some form of illusion on the dress, if you can see here," Emily said, drawing the client to one of the mannequins in the studio with a white under-done gown on it. "This is all white, but let's imagine it was black, and then in the dark it glows white. Just picture dancing with your husband in the reception and the lights goes out for a moment and your gown begins to glow.""Wow!" The client was stunned by the idea. "Is that possible?""It is very possible, ma, we just need to work with people who are into illusions to find out how to go about it, so you see, ma, your cloth will be the first ever illusion wedding dress in this part of town," Emily smil
