" Feeling better, baby?" Colton said, leaving a chaste kiss on Talia's forehead.The duo were cuddled up in bed after a long round of lovemaking. Talia felt significantly better than she did previously. After waiting for his arrival which took a lot more time than expected, when he finally arrived, there wasn't any time to speak as they immediately got into it.An act that came as a pleasant surprise to Colton. Of course, it was just his luck that he didn't have to play for it in order to get it. In their previous sexual encounters, he had learned the hard way of just how addictive she got when she was in a mood. Especially when angry.Talia was phenomenal in bed. She took it even farther when she was in such a state and everything was an added bonus to him. The only downside was the fact that when the euphoria wore off, a long conversation followed." What were you doing? Why did you take that long?" Talia asked, tucked underneath the cover, bare bodied and cuddled." I'm so sorry ba

" Asher Braxton loses control of Braxton International? "" Braxton International in Chaos! "" Braxton International - Who is the real heir?"" Asher Braxton impeachment process!"" Braxton International, leadership in ruins! "The next day, news splashes filled the headlines of both the national and international community. The business world was in an uproar regarding the publicized news of the happenings in the Braxton Empire." You have thirty minutes! Thirty minutes to clean out this ridiculous news! Make sure every mass medium is spotless and take care of as many that dared to make those publications!"Asher threw orders from his home office. He was having an emergency meeting with the PR team of Braxton's international regarding the sudden global news uproar about sensitive internal matters." Yes sir! We are currently working on it but there seems to be an outstanding issue. Some of the news mediums have requested an interview session with you regarding the internal matters a

" Our dearly beloved might still be alive." Talia didn't know what to make of the news and so did the only thing that seemed right at the moment.She laughed. Talia laughed so hard that one would think she might have lost her senses. On the other hand, her mother watched her without a word, waiting for her to get serious before they resumed their conversation." You're not serious. Come-on! If you don't feel like talking, it's fine. You honestly don't need to go through these lengths to keep me in check." She said with a forced chuckle, attempting to waive it off." I never met Emma. Neither did I lay hold on all the documents or information they had gathered about me." Mrs. Steele said and brought out a file from her drawer. " I was only able to get these." She threw it over to her daughter's end.Talia, now recognizing the seriousness of the conversation, kept her mouth sealed and opened the file before her. She read through the many personal and shady deals which involved her moth

" She's not dead silly! I wish she was. Maybe then, our relationship wouldn't be dead! "The moment the words escaped her lips, Talia made to leave but was stopped by Colton." I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Calm down." He said immediately, pinning her to the wall." Let me go this instant, Colton! My blood is literally boiling and unless you want to end up without balls, I suggest you let me go." She said, undeterred." Listen, it's not what you think. It's not what it seemed like. I promise! I don't know why you are so upset." He said, trying but failing to caress her to submission." Don't touch me! You should go search for your heartthrob, Emma. She's somewhere out there, probably waiting for you to come save her. Seeing we have no business together, you might as well go to her!" She screamed and while Colton tried to collect himself, she pushed him away and waltzed out of the office. On her way out, she sneered at the secretary who definitely heard everything and plotted the many ways

" It's him! It's actually him!" Emma's subconscious screamed. The same man she'd met on that day! How didn't she figure it out the whole time?" Mr. Braxton." Mrs. Adams said, drawing attention to herself.Asher maintained eye contact with an alarmed Emma. " Take care of her. You've been given guidelines. Adhere strictly to it. I don't want any mishaps." " Yes sir."Mrs. Adams' words brought a feeling of comfort to a panicked Emma. One thing she knew, the old lady was a sweetheart. From her first encounter with Mrs. Adams, she had grown to trust and feel comfortable with her. She got an absurd motherly feeling from her and oddly felt covered in her company.Being placed in her care only made her less fearful of what it meant for her to be in company of him.Asher leaves the room after an intense, wordless eye contact with Emma. Taking a bow to the elderly woman, he conveyed his requests before finally leaving.Emma felt dumbfounded. Above that, she felt in need of an explanation. F
