Clayton’s face turned pale as his blood ran cold, seeing the blood on her hand.
Clayton stood up and took her hand, “Get the first aid kit,” Clayton ordered.
Clayton washed her cut with running water and made her seat on the chair. Soon the maid was back with a first aid kit.
“Tell me does it hurt like hell?” Clayton asked as Emerald was not whimpering just like the time she sprained her foot.
He thought she was just trying to contain the pain so as not to make him freak out.
“I’m fine, it hurts but I could stand the pain,” Emerald answered. She herself was wondering what had happ
Freya’s heart sank into the depths of her stomach while her chest tightened.Lowering her head in dejection, Freya hung up the phone.Here she was happily telling Emerald that Red was finally accepting her and all of the sudden they were back to square one.When will he finally let go of Emerald? This love triangle was really complicated. It would be easier for her if Emerald wasn’t her friend.Emerald didn’t know what to tell at the moment. She silently consoled Freya as she took her hand and stroked it.Not long after Freya hung up the phone, she looked up at Emerald, smiling faintly. “I have to go. Th
“Why did she leave so soon?” Clayton was curious that Freya didn’t stay long and saw the sadness in her eyes though she wore a smile on her lips.“Red is waiting for her in the lobby downstairs,” Emerald replied as she took her seat on her swivel chair.“Red should have come up to pick her up,” Clayton commented.“I think he didn’t want to come up,” Emerald shrugged her shoulders.Clayton chuckled. “Red is still struggling. He has yet to come to terms that it is impossible between you. He still has a lingering feeling for you.”“Are you jealous?” Emer
Unable to stomach what was going, Clayton stood.“Let’s go,” Constantine stood as well, following his boss.“Claiming the moral high ground,” Mr. Sealy sardonically said in the hearing of everyone.Being accused as a self - righteous person should have riled up Clayton but he checked his emotion and didn’t give in to what Mr. Sealey intended.“What do you want to do with him?” Constantine asked as they strode away.“All actions have consequences, we don’t have to do anything to him,” Clayton didn’t want to use his time exacting vengeance. So long as they ke
Though Clayton already explained everything to her the night before, she still felt uneasy seeing a woman sitting on her husband’s lap.Emerald hadn’t noticed that her hands around Clayton’s arm tightened.Clayton folded the newspaper and gave it back to Wallace and lovingly caressed Emerald’s hand to mollify her anxiety.“Explain!” Wallace spoke with a stern voice.“What happened?” Coming into the living room, Giovanni noticed the tension.Wallace handed him the newspaper, and he unfolded it right after he took it from him
Clayton turned his attention away from his phone and looked up to Emerald. Entrance by the dazzling smile plastered on the man’s face, Emerald, for a moment held back her breath. Clayton lifted his hand with his phone and said, “Take a look.” “No need.” Ashamed of her attitude, Emerald turned back. ‘You’re shameless!’ she said, reprimanding herself. Her body became taut upon sensing the man stood behind her. Heat emanating from his body. He placed his hands over her shoulders and slowly turned her to him. “I am giving you the right to look at my phone. You are my wife and there should be no secrets between us. We are one, so I don’t think you are invading my privacy.” To begin with, Clayton had nothing to be afraid of as he didn’t do anything to betray her. As a married couple they have to practice accountability so there would be no gray area in their lives. It’s easy for him to fall into a trap when he isn't accountable to his wife. He lightly pinched her chin and li
She didn’t notice it while they were in the car as her entire attention was at Clayton. “If you don’t like to eat here, we can go to another place to eat.” Clayton sensed her reaction and stroked her back. Emerald looked up to him. For a few moments there, Clayton was mesmerized and lost in her eyes. Pure love shimmering in her emerald green eyes. “I’m fine, let’s go, I’m hungry,” she tugged at his arms, taking him out of his enchantment. “O - kay,” he stuttered. “Stuttering, Mr. Strong?” Emerald rarely hears him stutter and it made her giggle. Clayton shook his head, surely it was only this woman that made him stutter. At this time the restaurant should be busy serving diners but Emerald was surprised to see an empty restaurant. She turned to look at the man standing beside her with his hand protectively situated at her waist. “You booked the whole place,” she was certain that he did it. This restaurant is very popular with wealthy people in Kregger. Walk-in diners
Clayton frowned that his heart leaped in excitement that the beautiful woman wasn’t his father's lover.“She’s an orphan and has no family in Kraftgren. I have always liked to have a daughter,” Leonardo said and went to open the door upon hearing someone softly knocking on the door.Opening the door, he saw Emerald, “Yes, Emerald?”‘Oh, her name is Emerald, just like the color of her beautiful eyes,’ Clayton said in his mind.Emerald blushed meeting Clayton’s eyes and lowered her gaze, with a quivering lips, she said, “Dinner is ready, Mr. Strong.”“By the
The din of hooves pawing, loud neighing and shouting confused Emerald and her mind seemed to freeze.“Is she hurt?”“Baby, talk to me, are you hurt somewhere?” Clayton was trembling as he looked up and down to check if she had been hurt, tears flowed from his eyes.“Take the horse back into the barn.”“Take the squirrel, Sky was frightened.”“What happened here?”“Emerald, please speak, baby,” Clayton couldn’t control his trembling hands as he cupped her face.
