View MoreEric's POV"Em, you do know you can't work while you're with me, right?"I felt a tug at my heart as she stared at me with a distraught face for a moment. Soon enough, her face contorted into one of disdain and rebellion."Excuse me?"I sighed, pressing my fingers to my temples to break the news to her in a light way."Everyone now knows that you're my wife. This would make almost everyone want to be associated with you, even if it is just to get to me. I want you to be cautious of those you talk to and those you work for. Not everyone is deserving of your attention, Em. You're my wife."She stared wide-eyed at me for a moment before erupting into scornful laughter, causing me to clench my palms into fists.What was so funny?"I find it funny how you think that the whole world revolves around you, Eric. I was your wife for the past five years, according to you, yet I've been going about my business fine—""Don't be silly, Em. We just announced it to the whole world a few days back. Ju
Emily's POVMy breath hitched in my throat at his lewd question.I shrugged away from his reach and was reaching for the pillows I had forgotten to place in between us when his grip pulled my back and held me in place.My heart raced as I stared into his eyes, which were dark and unreadable."W-What are you doing, Eric?"He shrugged."You did tell them downstairs that your duty was to be there for me, didn't you?" He whispered with a teasing breath, fanning my face.I shook my head slowly, taking charge of my raging hormones."W-we both know that I didn't mean any of that!"His face darkened, making my fears skyrocket, and I recalled that expression that I had seen in his eyes the last day I spent at the Wilson's mansion before I ran away."You did sound pretty convincing to me."His lips were inches away from mine as he spoke, leaving me unable to move mine in response to his silly accusation.I placed my hands against his muscular chest in a bid to shove him, but like a rock, he was
Emily's POV "How did you both reunite?"Her questions threw me off-guard for a moment, so I just stared blankly at her for a moment."I mean, when did you guys reunite? How was it? We are curious to know the details. You know, you were not in the picture when it had to do with Eric until recently. How was it?"I tried to calm my trembling self down, but I was visibly shaken. I stared at Eric, and his small reassuring smile set me back on my feet."Surprisingly, we met while I was planning his wedding."I did not wish to divulge more information than that, but the lady urged me on with a small smile, but I stopped speaking. "That's all?""Yeah."She frowned. "Okay. Well, I guess we'll be moving on..."*"You did great back there, Em.," Eric commented as we approached his mansion again. "Thanks," I replied absentmindedly, playing a game on my phone. I did not even want to speak to him at the moment. I blamed it on mood swings or just the fact that I was feeling queasy."Look, Em.,
Eric's POV."Where is that whore who wants to tear down my son's company?"Behind my mother trailed Alicia, who had an accusing stare.Emily's pulled out of my arms quickly, staring anywhere but at my mother stand sister, but I was pissed. When did they begin to barge into my room without my permission? What the hell was their problem?"You know, mum, it is rude to enter into one's room without knocking. What if I and my wife were busy?"Her face distorted into one of utter disgust as she stared down at Emily, who seemed to be in a different world completely."She is not your wife, Eric! She is the homewrecker who ruined your beautiful marriage before it even started. I wonder what she has done to you to make you so blind to her whoredom!"I raised my hand to silence her. "The last thing I would tolerate is you speaking rudely to my wife, mother. I'd advise you to watch the next words you sa
Eric's POVShe thought I did not get it, but I was very much sure of what was going on.She was stressed out by the news. It surprised me myself, but I knew how the media worked and how to suppress the negative information.She ran a frustrated hand through her hair, tugging lightly on a fistful, pacing to and fro in the room where she kept her belongings. Left to me, she should have just kept them in my room.It was funny how I would never allow her to step a toe into my room five years ago. I wondered what I was thinking back then. Now, I craved her desperately, but she was unavailable.I placed my hands on her shoulder to calm her down, but she pushed them away."Stay away from me," she snapped angrily.I sighed."It's the media, Em. It will die down very soon," I comforted her. "Also, I'm very sorry for my unruly act."She shook her head."Firstly, it won't die down, trust me. My
Emily's POVA frown settled on my facial features as her question took me unawares.I had actually not thought about it because I just did not see the possibility. "That won't happen, Anna," I quickly interjected, and she remained mute for a moment before sighing."But what if he does change? Just let go of your sentiments and grudge against him and think about it for a moment. From all you've told me, he seems like a man who is read to get his wife back despite all odds and not prove to her that he has changed. Would the Eric of five years ago ever stay on the same bed with you without ripping off your nightwear? Would he actually peck you on the forehead and call you his love?"My frown deepened as she made me think about things I had been unavoidably avoiding."Anna -""I'm not done. What if Mia becomes attached to him when he is introduced into her life? You don't plan to destroy a potential father and daughter bond
Emily's POV I awoke to my fingers being sweetly caressed by Eric, whose voice I heard faintly. I was just about drifting back into another round of slumber when I heard something that caught my attention. "All implicating materials should be taken down with immediate effect and make sure that her business is not affected as well," I heard, causing me to pay attention but he soon ended the call and continued to play with my fingers. Realising where I was and registering what I just heard him say, my eyes widened, and I snatched my fingers from his hands. "What's going on, Eric?" I asked in a rush. He stared at me speechlessly for a moment before clearing his throat in a hurry. "It's nothing that you should really bother your head about. You can go back to sleep," he urged softly, but I was not a fool. I knew something as wrong, and even his tone sounded off. "I hear
Eric's POVHer question caught me off-guard. What did she mean by that?Her face was calm, but behind it, I could see the walls she had built up around herself grow taller. I released her hand from my unconsciously tight grip."Em., I'm sorry for what I did to you all the time we lived together. I want to make it up, Em. I want to show you that I've changed. I want to give you a better life than I did while we were together."She shook her head."Why should I believe you? I already believed that once and all I got was heartbreaks, an abortion and eventually, a child who grew without a loving father," she painfully recounted with a cool expression on her face."It's in the past, Em. Please let's focus on the future and stop holding on to the past," I pleaded, but her eyes grew cold."You say it like -"She stopped when she saw Alicia and Jed walking up the stairs, having a conversation. "Oh. H
Eric's POV"What is she doing here?!"My aunt's voice caught me off-guard as she exclaimed. I was not expecting to see her in our house. Beside her sat my mother, sister, her son Jed, and his wife.She looked both confused and excited."My darling, you finally came back. Sister, is this the bride you were talking about? You should have told me you meant the long-lost wife instead of teasing me about your son getting married again to another woman. We are so happy to have you back," Aunt Derby gushed, rushing towards me and Emily and grabbing her in a brief hug.Aunt Derby had always been the most accommodating and pleasant aunt of all my mothers siblings. It was sometimes so hard to believe that she and my mother were related as she was more down-to-earth and warm. Alicia looked mortified to see Emily with me, and my mother had a look of utter displeasure and dusgust written all over her face."Derby!" She exclaimed, he
