Chapter 38 - Misgivings
Myriads of thoughts came rushing into her mind. Tears stung her eyes. Reason warred with fear.
'It's an old photo, he had long forgotten about it,' a part of her consoled Emerald.'What if this woman comes back?' another part of her contradicted.'She belongs to her past and you're Clayton's present and future''She's irreplaceable, that's what he said.'The war within her went on untilClayton lifted his eyes from the document he was reading and caught sight of Emerald frowning."Anything wrong, baby?" Clayton left his desk.In panic, Emerald abruptly closed the book and looked up."I'm sleepy," Emerald faked a yawn, strode approaching the bookshelf and put back the book."Let's get you to your room," Clayton said at the same time sweeping her to his arms.Startled, Emerald let out a squeal. "Can you please let me know when yRelated chapters

Emerald's mind went into overdrive. Who is the woman talking to Clayton? Is she Charlotte? Did she come back?Panicking, her hand trembled. "Ms Brown, please call me Mr Strong, it might bring misunderstanding between me and my fiancée." Clayton spoke coldly, he didn't care about the collaboration. He can withstand losing one business collaboration but losing Emerald, he doubted he could survive it. He looked away from the woman and talked to Emerald, this time he let the people in the private room hear him. "Baby, you have to eat in time. The therapist will be there at two in the afternoon." Clayton's once cold voice while speaking to Ms Brown had turned considerably gentle and warm as he spoke with Emerald. "Is Constantine with you?" Overwhelmed, Emerald couldn't hide her doubt. She just can't tolerate that there is a woman fancying her man. She's extremely selfi

Emerald's eyebrows furrowed, creating a crease between her brows."Why is he here?" Emerald muttered. Red was standing in the middle of the large lavish living room with a bouquet of tulips. "Red? What are you doing here?" Emerald was somehow nervous that Clayton would be infuriated upon knowing that Red came to see her. She knew that Clayton wouldn't doubt her but she was afraid of what he'd do to Red. "I came to see you, Emerald. I missed you." He gave the flower to Emerald and she took it from him. "Have a seat Red," Emerald said and Red sat on the couch but Emerald took the single couch chair. Her action saddened Red. Prior to knowing his feelings for her, Emerald and him would sit on a sofa next to each other. Sadly, now that she knew his intention, Emerald put a gap between them. "Red, I want you to be happy," Emerald started to e

"Ms Charlotte, I won't beat around the bush. I came to seek your help to get rid of that woman pestering Clayton." She had been going back and forth at Charlotte's office to see her but Charlotte always declined and refused to see Lizzy. However, the last time she came to Charlotte, she left a letter regarding her relationship with Clayton. And updated her regarding Clayton and she tucked Clayton's latest photo in the letter. Clayton shed his boyish appearance and became manly over the years. Charlotte could tell that Clayton was smoking hot. That sparked her interest and agreed to meet Charlotte. "Ms Frank, I am just wondering. How did you know about my past with Clayton Strong?" Charlotte asked. "I'm his brother's fiancée and his brother told me about Clayton's profound love for you." Lizzy let out a light chuckle. "His profound love?" Charlotte raised an eyebrow, she wasn't a naive person. "

"Babe, wake up," Emerald said as she pushed Clayton's arm that was snaked around her tiny waist. They had been sharing a bed for a month now but Clayton didn't make love to her. Since they were remarrying a month from now, Clayton kept his promise not to touch her until they remarry. "Let me hold you for a minute," Clayton said while he burrowed his face on her nape, feeling in his lungs with Emerald's fragrance. Emerald let him be and true to his words, Clayton got up from the bed after a minute of embracing her. "I'll be going down to prepare breakfast," Emerald said as Clayton walked into the bathroom. He hugged her from behind as she pat dry her face. "Okay!" She heard him say, Emerald left the bathroom, then stepped into the closet and changed her night gown. All of Emerald's clothes had been transferred into Clayton's walk- in - closet. While t

Believing that what was in the past will remain in the past, Emerald dismissed the idea of asking Clayton. Moreover, she was willing to take a chance with Clayton. The uneasiness in her heart let up when Clayton called late in the afternoon. "Babe, how are you?" Clayton asked."I'm doing good, are you having your rest?" Emerald asked. "I had just come back from a series of meetings," Clayton said as he looked at their picture on his desk. "Did you have lunch?" Emerald was worried that he skipped lunch. Clayton was silent and didn't dare to lie to her. "Babe, I told you not to skip lunch even how busy you are." "That's why I'm asking you to work here in my office so you can be here to remind me," Clayton replied. "No need for me to work there, I'll just send Mr Hodge to bring you lunch and he'll also be watching you finish your meals." Clayton chuckled as he felt he
Relentless Pursuit of His Lost Love Chapter 44 - Slapped with Reality
If she didn't barge into the room, what would have happened?Slapped with reality on the face, Emerald regretted coming into Clayton's office. All color from Clayton's face faded in an instant leaving his face as white as a sheet. Tongue - tied and aghast, Clayton couldn't make a sound to utter her name. Despite the difficulty in breathing brought by her stuffy chest, Emerald was able to steadily strode away from Clayton's office and went straight into the elevator. Despite that she was reeling from she had just seen, Emerald managed to strode away without staggering and entered the elevator. Charlotte seized Clayton's waist just as he was about to go after Emerald and locked him up in her arms. "Let go," Clayton snarled but Charlotte was adamant to have him stay, she tiptoed to kiss him. "Don't blame me for being rude," Clayton extricated himself and threw Charlotted away. She was like a paper that flew from across the room. Charlotte screamed painfully as she landed on the co

Dejectedly, Clayton drove back to his mansion. It was already midnight when he arrived. Clayton lay on the bed sniffing Emerald's lingering scent. "Baby, come back," he hugged her pillow and sniffed it. "I was wrong." Clayton lay on the bed wide awake until morning. He couldn't sleep a wink thinking how to track Emerald again.He was afraid that this time, their paths would never cross again. Again, first thing in the morning, he called Emerald but his call was unanswered. He decided to send her a message. [Babe, please come back. Please talk to me. I don't know how my life would look without you, baby.] Clayton was praying that Emerald would read it and agree to talk with him. A message from Constantine arrived after he sent his message. [Red was spotted rushing to the Westfield Medical Center with an unconscious woman in his arms the night before.] Constantine sent him the photo. Clayton bolted out of the mansion and drove off to the hospital. Just as Red came out of the

"Go back to your work. Remember that you are given a limited time to fix it. The president won't be lenient to you." Constantine said, dispersing them to stop the gossip. Inside Clayton's office, the man was holding his phone and smiling. Like a school boy reading his conversation with his crush, Clayton re- read his and Emerald's conversation, smiling.He thought he could use this to coax her to come back and forgive him. [Babe, I've been thinking about you. I was in a bad mood, scolding almost all department heads because I badly missed you. Baby, I love you] Clayton had no idea that Emerald had already blacklisted his number. And his messages will remain unread. Clayton set aside his phone and began working.***In Kregger at Strong's mansion. Wallace Strong and Giovanni Kingston were having tea. "Your grandson is a capable man.
