Rowan spent his time at work, and everyone could notice how tense he was as he immersed himself in work and during meetings, making everyone tense. Emma wasn’t supposed to come to work today since she had school, so he had no chance to see her. Rowan was hurt and frustrated. He knew staring at his phone wouldn’t call or bring Emma to him.She still hadn’t called or given him a clear explanation. Any other woman would grovel at his feet for a second chance or would have made up a lie on the spot, but Emma wasn’t like that. He knew that, but still wondered what she was really up to.His door opened, and Keith came into the office, immediately noticing that something was off with his friend. "What is going on?" Keith asked as he sat down, facing Rowan."You seem...""Angry? No shit, I am very frustrated and just lost..fuck" Rowan said as he sighed, pushing himself back on his chair in defeat. People would be surprised to see the Great Rowan King sighing in defeat because of a woman. "Wha

They both stood in silence as Rowan was still leaning up against Emma’s back, and his lips moved to her neck, dropping a slow, light kiss on it that made Emma shudder with relief.. Emma wiggled out of his grip to face him; her hands rose to hold up his face in her small hands as she looked at him. She really looked at him. She could see he was serious. "I am sorry," Emma muttered as she looked into his gray eyes, which had cleared up from drunkenness. "Ahh, don’t cry, darling," he said, caressing her waist as Emma pushed herself against him. "I’m sorry about the alcohol. I hope I’m sure the smell is not disturbing you and the baby," he added.. But Emma just hugged him tighter. "I don’t care; I just want to be here with you," she sniffled on his chest before she rose to give him a light peck. "I’m going to take a shower. Don’t leave again. I don’t want you to," he added quietly, releasing his grip on her, but Emma held on. "I won’t," she called as Rowan stepped up and kissed her foreh

Emma•“What in the hell are you doing in Rowan’s house?!” Amber screeched at me when I should have been asking her that instead. She had no right to be here.She walked out of the elevator to look around and see that I had cooked and made this space mine in a way. “You came here uninvited, not me,” I replied coldly as she stared me down in disbelief. Her arms were crossed, and her face scrunched up in distaste. With the way she was dressed fancy and sexy, wearing a mini black dress and blood-red lips, I knew she didn’t just come here on a whim; she had a plan.If she planned to try to seduce Rowan without him knowing that I lived here, she was going to be very disappointed. “As you can see, I was given a card when we were together,” she said, easing a card up to me to show her power. But I stepped forward and put my hands out.. Her eyebrow raised in confusion about what I was doing, but I stood my ground even though her ice-blue eyes were judging. I started, “So you came to return i

ROWAN•“This is so messed up,” I muttered to myself as I paced around my room. Emma had just shut the door in my face, and I didn’t know what to do right now.It was just my rotten luck that Amber had come and spoiled all the plans I had with Emma. And God, Emma... Something tells me that it’s not over. She looked hurt when I said those things to her—that it wasn’t her business—especially just after I told her I wanted her in my life. I feel like a fool.I turned and tossed around on my bed until sleep found me in the early hours of the morning. I barely got any sleep and stayed in bed for a few minutes more to rest. I had some much-needed extra shut-eye for thirty minutes before I stood up and walked to my bathroom to have my bath. After washing up, I walked to the kitchen to steam up a hot cup of coffee.I put on my suit jacket as the coffee boiled up. I couldn’t help but let my eyes move to Emma’s door occasionally, as I hoped she would come out soon. I instinctively filled two cup

EMMA*I just couldn’t believe my worst luck. Not only did Paxton try to force a kiss on me, but worse, I had never felt so trapped in my life until the doors of the passenger seat opened up, and I looked up to see the eyes of Rowan. He was seething with untamed rage."Rowan, I can explain," I started before he dragged me out of the car. He didn’t want to hear any of it, and I couldn’t blame him. From what had just happened, any sane person would think that I was having an affair with Paxton behind his back."Do not dare try to fucking explain sh*t, Emma. You lied to me, played me, and tricked me. Was it worth it, huh? To get a few quick bucks from fucking me and then playing the fucking victim? You planned this, didn’t you? Was it fun to watch me lose it, huh?" He fumed, shaking my shoulders with force. I felt dizzy and lost for words.This was not meant to happen! I tried to force myself to speak, to tell my part, and to at least show the letter that felt heavy in my hands. "Rowan, I
