"It's fine, you should get some rest," June's lips curled into a smile as she stared at him but Hardin didn't seem satisfied by her answer. "June I.." Hardin groaned as his hand touched his stomach."You should rest," Emma interrupted him. "Let him rest," she said removing June's hand from Hardin and placing hers in his. Hardin stared at the both of them, he wanted to say something to June but he felt himself blacking out as he fell into an unconscious state. "We should all let him rest," Mrs. Scott suggested staring at her son. "Emma will you be able to stay here while I go home to sort out some things, the doctor said he might not be able to use his legs so I want him to be comfortable.""Of course Mum, you know I will without you asking me to," Emma smiled."Thank you," Mrs. Scott nodded. "Thank you all for coming to see him," she said to Keir, Octavia and June. "He is our friend, it's the least we can do," Keir replied. "June should also stay back since he requested to see her

Emma stared at Hardin taken aback by his reaction, "Is something the matter? We talked about this in your car remember, the wedding proposal and I said yes." "I was telling you what my mother suggested not asking you," Hardin pointed out with a puzzled look. His mother had informed him to get married as he wasn't getting younger, he knew what his mother was driving at was for him to have a child. He had mentioned it to Emma as a joke and even chipped in that his mother had mentioned her name in the conversation. Emma had joked about how they would make a lovely couple since they were childhood friends and how their wedding would be the talk of the town but it was just a conversation so why was she acting this way and in front of June? His eyes darted from Emma to June, "But we kissed afterward, and when I told you I love you, you said okay," Emma frowned touching his face and tilting it away from June to hers. "Did I do something wrong Hardin? If I did just tell me so I can apol

One week later,June opened the file in front of her as she scribbled some notes beside an error her secretary had made on the file, since the incident at the hospital she had not spoken to Hardin. She thought it best to keep her distance but she hoped he would call or send a message but neither happened over the week.News of the wedding was still online and more pictures of Hardin and Emma were popping up on all social media platforms, the news didn't anger her, it was the comment left by viewers that angered her.They were looking forward to the wedding and hashtag #HardinandEmma was trending online. She flipped the page trying hard to concentrate as a knock fell on the door followed by the landline phone on her desk ringing."Come in," she ordered before receiving the call on the landline. Yes, she said."Ma'am, I just wanted to inform you that Mr. Hardin Scott is heading to your office now, he insisted and in his condition…"The voice of her secretary slowly faded as the door ope

"We are having the date at your house?" June questioned as Hardin's bodyguard opened the door for her to step in. "Thought it did be better for us to have an alone time," Hardin said. "Plus you said you didn't want to go to the restaurant.""O-Okay!" June muttered as she stepped into the living room, her eyes widening in surprise as she took in the enchanting scene before her. Petals were scattered delicately across the floor, forming a lavish pathway that led to the center of the room. The air was heavy with the scent of candles, their warm flickering providing a soft, romantic glow.Unable to contain her astonishment, her hands flew to cover her mouth, She couldn't believe Hardin had decided to go through great incredible lengths to transform his ordinary living room into a space of enchantment. A smile tugged at the corners of her lips with each step she took, and her heart swelled, appreciating the thought and care that had been put into creating this intimate setting. The pet

Hardin turned to stare at June, she had her eyes closed but the moment they opened, he could see the reluctance in her to say it back, "You don't have to say it back, it's not a question.""You knew this was going to happen," June said diverting from the discussion, turning to face him she grabbed the duvet over her naked body."It was bound to, you are also on contraceptives, right? Just to get that out of the way," Hardin asked because he had been in too deep to get himself to pull out on time. "Not really," June replied. She wasn't really active sexually of late but she could just get the pills when-"I got some pills here," Hardin said getting out of bed as he walked to the fridge in his room, he took a bottle of water and handed it over to June before walking to the drawer to get the pills. "So, you just have this in your room or you fucked someone yesterday and-""No, I wasn't with anyone. It's just being safe like having a pack of condoms. Some ladies tend to forget theirs an

"Oh, my goodness!!!" June gasped hugging Octavia, she couldn't believe her eyes. "I am so happy for you.""I haven't told Keir yet, I plan to over dinner tonight," Octavia smiled."I am sure he is going to be excited about it," June grinned."I am so nervous and can't wait to see his reaction."* * *Octavia set the table for the third time, she was nervous about telling Keir and she didn't know why. She had planned to tell him over the phone but she thought it best to set up a dinner instead.She checked her wrist watch wondering why Keir was taking so long to come home tonight, she finally heard the maids greeting him as her lips curled up in a smile."Welcome," she smiled when he stepped into the dining giving her a hug and a peck on the cheek."Thank you, my love," Keir smiled."Come and sit down," Octavia said holding his hand and leading him to the seat, "I prepared dinner.""Really?" Keir smiled sitting down as Octavia sat next to him. She took his plate serving him quickly as

"They came around and I couldn't send them off, but since we are all here we can all get acquitted," Mrs. Scott said going to take her seat."I am sorry about this, I wasn't aware," Hardin whispered into June's ear placing his hand behind her back. "If you want us to leave just say the word and -""No, we shouldn't," June said. She wasn't happy Emma was here, especially after their last discussion, she and Hardin joined them on the dining sit next to each other. The maids walked in on cue serving everyone as were about to start eating, "We should pray or don't you?" Emma smiled breaking the silence but June could sense she was up to no good. "And when did you start praying Emma?" Hardin asked raising his brow. "Shall we all eat," Mrs. Scott said digging into her food. "Hardin you didn't introduce us," Mrs. Watts said staring at June. "June, this is Mrs. Watts, Emma's mother," Hardin introduced reluctantly as he dug into his food. "Nice to meet you Ma," June nodded staring at Mrs

June rinsed her face in the bathroom, the cool water soothing her heated cheeks. She stared at her reflection, a mixture of nervousness and anger coursing through her. She couldn't believe how Mrs. Scott had just spoken to her, she knew it was because of Emma and her desire to have Hardin pick Emma over her. If she wanted Emma to be with Hardin so much, why did she have to invite her to this darn breakfast, June thought.As she dried her hand with a towel, she heard Hardin's voice coming from outside the bathroom door. "June, are you alright?" he asked, genuine concern in his tone."Yeah," she replied briefly staring at her reflection again, she couldn't do this, his mum clearly didn't like her. Their relationship wasn't going to work out this way, she thought fighting over a woman for Hardin would be the problem but it seemed Mrs. Scott was going to be it and she couldn't dare come between a son and his mother.She took a deep breath and opened the door. Hardin was waiting there, hi
