Adrian povShe begged me to help her as the waves launched themselves at her, sending her plummeting to the bottom of the sea, but I turned away from her and tightened my hands into fists.I want to save her and get her out of that damn water, but if I do, she won't ever be able to stand up for herself again. I don't want her to be a weak, helpless shell; instead, I want her to be strong enough to stand up for herself.One thing became evident when her brother Asher informed me of her illness and how her uncle, aunt, and other members used to abuse and torment her.She is so weak that she is incapable of standing up for herself.She must thus embrace her inner rebel, have the will to overcome obstacles and stand up for herself.And in order to learn, she must experience the threat to her life or soul damage that will awaken the spirit of retaliation within her. If I wanted to, I could jump in to save her in a matter of seconds, but I won't; she must do this in order to ensure that no
Adrian yelled into the phone, "Yes, do it right away; I want him in jail."We returned to New York yesterday night, and I had a great time there, especially with Nan. As I was unloading the baggage, I realised why Adrian's mother is so kind: she is Nan's daughter.I put my clothing in the closet and whispered, "Whom you want behind the bars, Adrian."Adrian gave me a sidelong glance and said, "Nothing extraordinary."He told me "Emberly, "Well, I've engaged a trainer for you.""Trainer," I scowled at him.Adrian looked at his watch and said, "Yes, a trainer, he will teach you self defence, and how to fight if someone physically abuses you."I asked, tapping my foot, "But why.""Every girl has to learn it," he explained, "so that no one can physically assault her."I furrowed my brows and said, "And, what makes you believe that I need it at this moment?"Did he know anything about me, particularly about my traumatic past?He shook his head in response to "how many inquiries you've aske
Adrian POVI gripped the steering wheel so hard in my car while going towards that place.Skylar told me that that fucker bastard uncle ran away from jail and he called Emberly to meet him. He even said something to her which made her furious too.Why the hell did Emberly go there? Yes, I want to make her fearless, but not this time. It's different than that bastard uncle and aunt of hers. I don't trust them.I drove my car in a rash as I wanted to be there as soon as possible. I won't be able to tolerate it if they hurt her. I can't afford to lose her.Not at any cost. I can't tolerate it if even a hair of her body hurts. I will kill them.Since when she became this special to me, I used to hate her when I had to know that she was in Sarah Winston's place as a bride at a wedding.I thought that she was a gold-digger, an opportunist, and a betrayer. That's why I hurt her when she came into my mansion.How wrong I was about her. She's an angel indeed. I will never be able to forgive my
Emberly POVWhen I opened my eyes, I saw Mom sitting next to my bed, Skylar pacing, and Dad looking extremely concerned. I felt someone's hand caressing my head in a caring manner."She'll be a good doctor, right?" Even from Mom's voice, it was clear that she was quite concerned.Dad asked the doctor, "How's the doctor? Is there something serious?"She'll be fine, and don't worry, Mr. Campbell, the internal bleeding in her body can be healed with medicines and light liquid food. Just make sure she doesn't eat hard food and always eat light liquid food for at least three months, as the chances of healing her internal bleeding are higher with it. Please make sure she eats light and green vegetables, as her internal injuries can be healed more quickly by medicines and green light food," the doctor told him, and he nodded."She's awake," Skylar chirped when she noticed me.Everyone was looking at me. Skylar quickly approached the bed where I was lying."Em, how're you feeling, my girl?" M
Before entering Adrian's Study, I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and gulped.I don't care what the consequences will be. All I know is that I'm in love with him and this is the truth.I entered his study while clutching the knob of the door so hard."A... Adrian," I murmured, and finally saw him.He was sitting on the large chair beside his table, looking absently at some papers in his hand.I went closer towards him. "Adrian," I said, and he quickly snapped his head in my direction."Emberly," he stands and turns to face me."What happened is that everything is fine?" I asked, fidgeting my fingers.He nodded, looking around. I don't know, but I felt that he was avoiding eye contact with me."Nothing, Em, do you need anything?" he inquired softly."A... I want to tell you something," I said while biting my lip."Sure, go ahead,""I... I love you," finally, I confessed. An unknown fear settled in my heart after saying this. I felt so cold around my chest."What?" he asked with wid
6 years later........I quickly ran towards Kitchin as I heard the sound of something breaking, more like the breaking of glass.I went there and my eyes widened. I found the bottle of Nutella shattered on the floor, and Elvin, my five-year-old son, standing beside it."El," I said, and he turned to face me, his black eyes widened like his father's.His eyes filled with tears. "Moma, I didn't do that intentionally."My heart melted looking at my son. He's the result of all the good deeds I did in my past."It's okay, baby, I'm not going to scold you. Are you alright? Did you get hurt?" My heart started pounding in my chest just with the thought of him getting hurt. I love him so much, I can't tolerate any kind of trouble for him.He shook his head and pouted. I hugged him, kissing his cheeks."Come, you must be hungry. Let me feed you." I took him towards the dining room and made him sit on his small baby chair.I walk towards the kitchen and make his favourite cheese sandwich with hi
This is Book 3 of Billionaire series, it's a short Billionaire romance, The love story ofAaron Knight and Eternity Granger.This is a standalone novel.**************Eternity povSlowly and reluctantly, I uncover my face. I blink, close my eyes, and blink again. Streaks of sunlight penetrate the window and blind me. I sit up, drag my feet off the bed, and rub my knuckles into my eyes. I stretch my arms above my head and yawn.I live in my apartment in New York. Of course, I am 21 years old and I didn't live with my parents.My bedroom is small compared to the living room of my apartment, but I can still fit everything I need into it. I have a bed right in the middle of my squarish room, which takes up quite a bit of space, but I like it that way. You may find me laying there reading a book in the natural light coming through my window, which is my main source of light. The storage is great because it is hidden away above my wardrobe, which is built into the wall, although most of my
Seconds passed and I didn't feel any pain again. I cleared my eyes and my muscles got stiff.I noticed I was hovering over a man.He had tousled dark black hair, which was thick and lustrous. His eyes were a hypnotic deep crystal blue.Flecks of silvery light performed ballets throughout. His face was strong and defined, his features moulded from granite. He had dark eyebrows, which sloped downwards in a serious expression. His lips had drawn into a hard line across his face. His perfect lips are ripe for kissing. When our eyes meet each other, I feel time stop. Everything pauses, just him and me.The crystal blue colour swirled into an Atlantic blue as he gazed at me. I could feel myself becoming hypnotised by the changing colors.I could see wind-stirred waves in his eyes. If one were brave enough to enter their depths, all else would blur, and you'd fall so deeply in love that you'd choose to stay there, no matter what. Of that, I'm completely sure."What the hell, girl, if you don'
