Chapter 22Emma had no idea what she had been expecting when she was summoned by her grandfather but surely it wasn't anything she was hearing. When she had first walked into the office, she took a pause because her grandfather was not the only person present. Godson stood at a close distance from her grandfather while Hugo sat with a frown and clenched hands. His suit was wet with what Emma suspected to be sweat and his unclenched hand tapped his thigh anxiously. Emma swallowed nervously. The last time she had visited the hospital, she found out she was hypertensive. She had been beyond shocked because no one in her family had a history of it. At least not that she knew of. So it was surprising.Although, it was later explained that due to stress and some other factors, some pregnant women become hypertensive during pregnancy and it most likely returned back to normal after childbirth. The one important thing she got from the doctor was that she should avoid any stressful situation

Chapter 24Emma stopped at the entrance of Zoey's home. It was nothing like she had expected. The house looked….normal? She had never been interested in the Silver family and never bothered to take note of their homes. She had pegged them as show offs but she wasn't so sure that was the case at the moment. "This is your home?" She asked Zoey."Well…yes. Is anything the matter?" Zoey asked her."No. It's just….it's not what I was expecting. Um, I hope you don't mind me intruding but…. is this your home or Kevin's?" Emma asked again just to be sure.There was no way Kevin would live in a modest house like this right? Although it was secluded a bit with less people around which was the case for every house in the area but this was too tame. She had been expecting a mansion with a butler or security or something like Godson's home.Zoey chuckled when she finally understood what Emma had meant by the questions. Emma could not believe that Kevin would own a house like this. Well, she wasn'

Chapter 26"Emma?" He asked as she wiped her tears."Why is there a plaster on your shoulder……and your hand?" He asked her once he saw the one on her hand. How had he missed it?"What?" She asked him as she wiped her tears."Were you injured? How?" Emma took a look at the cute plaster on her hand. She was sure the injury was from when the bullet had grazed her. There was no way she was going to tell Brandon that. She had no idea who was behind the attack. Who had wanted her killed so much that they sent people to actually do the job? "Emma?" "Let me down." She said to him,He held her tighter."Tell me what happened." He said to her,"It's none of your concern, Brandon. And let me go." She said to him as she struggled to get off his leg."Emma." "Get your hands off me, Brandon. You can't hold me like this just because….."Brandon moved his hands and touched the plaster on her shoulder. Emma flinched immediately but tried to cover it up. Although there was no need for that because

Chapter 28Brandon watched Emma with a small smile as she ate the doughnuts. She wasn't a messy eater but she was fast. It was as if she was inhaling every doughnut she picked up and she had instructed him to not say a word as she ate until she gave him the go ahead.Brandon's phone beeped on the table and he picked it up to see it was a message from Benji.Benji: Where did you get this?Attached to the question was a picture of the object they had collected at the hospital. Before moving to the cafe, Brandon had given it to one of his bodyguards who had taken it to Benji immediately. He had a bad feeling about it and he just wanted to be sure what it was.Brandon: Just tell me what it is.Benji: I really need to know how you got this. Are you hurt or injured? Do you need me to tighten your security? Increase the amount of guards?Brandon: Now you sound like Kevin. There's no need for that. Just tell me what it is.Benji: Dude! Are you trying to tell me you don't know? Where the fuck

Chapter 30Emma finally gathered the courage to step out of the car. There was no way Godson would be in her house. He hated coming to her house. He preferred sending her a message anytime their grandfather summoned her. And besides, there was no need for her to be scared Godson. It wasnt like he was the one who had sent the men who had attached her the previous night right?"Okay, let's do this." She said to herself as she exhaled but then, there was a sudden knovk in the window.Emma flinched in her seat but turned to look at the person who signaled she should let down the window. Emma swallowed. The man looked intimidating with tattoos up to his neck. But something about him seemed familiar although she couldn't quite place it. There was no need being scared, she thought to herself as she opened the door with all the courage she could muster.The man adjusted and gave her space as she came down from the car. He gave her a small smile as he scanned the dress she was wearing. Emma wr
