He was the embodiment of her desires, a dream man who had captured her heart at first glance. From the moment Trevor entered her life, Emma knew he was the one for her. For five years, she had been exclusively committed to him, never once questioning his love until her entire world came crumbling before her eyes. Emma realized that his love for her had all been an elaborate deception. His words, his actions, his smiles, his compliments, they were all carefully constructed web of lies. "I can't continue like this," Trevor's words resounded in the room, causing Emma's stomach to twist in knots of tension. Fear gripped her heart, crawling up her throat and threatening to escape in a scream of despair. "I never loved you." With one sentence, Trevor shattered Emma's heart into a million pieces without remorse. Her cries and pleas for a chance for them to salvage their five-year relationship and fairy tale ending fell upon deaf ears. As she realized she had been cheated on for five years, Emma became the outcast in her own story. Determined to make Trevor pay for his betrayal and beg for her mercy, Emma went after the most important person in Trevor's life. The moment her eyes locked with Mr. Ethan Maddox, Trevor's billionaire father, at a get-together party, Emma knew her revenge would be both delicious and swift. Not only would she bring down Trevor, but she would also topple his powerful father from his pedestal.

Emma nodded, swiftly scribbling the alphabet onto the paper, which she then passed to the officer. She promptly jotted down her number on it."We'll ensure your safety by keeping a police officer close to you. You won't even notice their presence," the policewoman reassured as Emma got up to leave.Exiting the interrogation room, Emma spotted Lucas by the exit. He pulled her into a comforting hug, pestering kisses on her hair before guiding her to his car."Are you alright? What did they ask you?" Lucas inquired, his expression etched with concern."Just questions about Damien, nothing major," Emma replied, as she fasten her seat belt, grateful to be out of that room. Starting the car, Lucas pulled out of the parking space and onto the main road. Emma hesitated before asking the question she had been d
"We have spoken to Mr. Damien's wife," the officer continued, her tone unwavering but not accusatory. "She mentioned that Mr. Damien had discussed a situation with you, specifically the death of Sheryl Jones."Emma almost let out a sigh of relief, grateful that the real truth had not been revealed yet. But a question lingered in her mind. Why did Mr. Damien's wife lie to the authorities? Or was it Mr. Damien who had lied to his wife? She needed to find out. But first, she had to leave without getting herself into any trouble."That was not a situation," Emma blurted out, her voice shaking slightly. "Just two classmates reminiscing about what happened to Sheryl. The police never found the culprit. You never cared."The officer's expression softened, sensing Emma's frustration and bitterness. "We did our utmost, Emma. But now, we require your assistance. The passing of Sheryl, followed by your old time friend and classmate's, and now her own sister being shot – it all seemed to be conne
Lucas's head shook in disbelief as he and Emma were consumed with Tina's piercing cry of agony, oblivious to the quick exit made by Marco. "No, no, he's disappeared," he uttered, his voice barely audible."Can you put pressure on the wound? Or is someone already tending to it? Tap her cheeks gently to keep her conscious until the ambulance arrives."Tina was Lucas's top priority as his hands trembled while moving towards her. His thoughts raced with fear for her as well as her unborn child. "Emma, we have to apply pressure," he urged, both of them straining to hear the incoming ambulance sirens.Lucas's palms shook as he pressed them against Tina's wound, feeling the warmth of her blood oozing through his fingers, a stark reminder of the peril she was in. He tried to be tender, following the operator's instructions, but his mind was flooded with the events that had just transpired, still trying to wrap his head around so many things that just doesn't make sense.The operator's voice c
The sight of the firearm clutched in the man's hand sent shivers down Emma's spine."I had no idea you were bringing your friend," the man's words were laced with a threatening undertone as he stretched out the gun."Marco? What the hell, man?" Lucas's confusion quickly morphed into fear as the barrel of Marco's gun was aimed at him. Everything they had shared for the past six years, every memory of their friendship, was now clouded by this dangerous stranger.Emma's voice trembled as she pointed at Tina, who looked just as shocked as Lucas. "He's the one who called last night. He called her too."Lucas shook his head, trying to make sense of the chaos unfolding before him. "No, that can't be true. I know Marco."Emma's frustration boiled over. "It's the same Italian accent, Lucas! And he's not even denying it!"Marco's sly smile sent chills down Lucas' spine. "Your girlfriend is telling the truth, Lucas. You never mentioned she would be here today. That's not how friends treat each o
Emma's stomach twisted uneasily as she received the papers from Tina, her heart aching for her friend as she slipped the envelope into her bag.Tina's hand squeezed Emma's shoulder, her voice faltering. "There are also audio files inside," she revealed, her hold on Emma tightening. "Just hold onto them until we can review them tonight, and if we never see each other again, look through them."Emma furrowed her brows at Tina's restless demeanor. "What's going on, Tina? This isn't like you. Something has really rattled you.I'm sorry," Emma whispered, her breath catching. "If it's about your sister and the baby..."Tina's tears welled up as she shook her head. "I have a lot to confess, Emma. I didn't go through with the abortion. I'm leaving next week, disappearing completely. I couldn't go through with it, and I don't want Trevor to find out I'm keeping it."Emma enveloped her in a tight embrace, gently swaying back and forth. "It's the right decision. It's best if you get away from all
"Emma, you have to understand this, Ethan Maddox is dangerous, i have known him way before you and i can tell he's just putting a mask on infront of you, very soon, the mask will be off and you will see the real devil that he is. If he found out what you're doing, he could kill you without a second thought," Lucas held onto her hand, his eyes pleading with her to comprehend the seriousness of the situation. " I can't afford to lose you Emma" "If that is what must be, then let it be," she declared with determination, turning away to settle into the comfort of her bed, drawing the covers up to her chest. "I chose not to confide in you because I did not want to burden you, Lucas. I did not wish to keep you in the dark.""What was the caller's demand?" Lucas asked, his voice strained as he dismissed her earlier statement."He insisted that he could assist me, but only after I provided incriminating information about you," she responded, hearing Lucas take a sharp breath."And what was yo
The ache in Emma's legs caused her to groan as she shifted on the bed's soft sheets. The pain was a reminder of their passionate lovemaking, a memory she welcomed, even as she winced and adjusted her position.Lucas's voice broke through her thoughts, soft and comforting. "Come, let me ease your discomfort," he whispered, drawing her closer with his gentle touch on her waist. Shivers ran down her spine at his proximity, momentarily distracting her from the dull ache.Grinning playfully, Emma swatted his hand away as he moved to caress her back. "Let go of me, you jerk," she chided, though the darkness concealed her scowl. A hint of laughter escaped her lips, betraying her attempt at seriousness."I can feel the intensity of your death glare, you know," Lucas chuckled, his fingers tracing patterns on her back as she settled against him. She smiled, comforted by his warmth and familiar touch."I love you," Emma whispered, her lips brushing against his skin as she chuckled softly. Her fi
Emma's fingers gripped the bedsheet tightly, her back arching with every thrusts from Lucas, her lips emitting a pleasured gasp. She quivered at the touch of his skin against hers, his grip both firm and tender as he directed their movements."Please don't stop," she pleaded, her voice barely audible as Lucas's hand found her hip, urging her on, urging her to take his entire length deep inside her.He leaned in close, his lips brushing against her ear. " God! it feels so good being inside you. You are driving me crazy with the way you tighten around me" he murmured, his words sending a shiver of anticipation through her body as she tighten around him again, earning a groan from Lucas.She responded with a throaty moan, surrendering herself completely to him. "God you feel so big. Faster!," she whispered, her hips meeting his as the sound of their bodies meeting eachother echoed all over the room.Lucas felt the tension building within him, his body moving in perfect sync with hers as
The response that followed was a taunting one. "Let's just say, someone with a mutual interest," it said, causing Emma to furrow her brow in confusion. Her gaze remained fixed on the screen, displaying a private number with no clue to the caller's identity.Emma's voice trembled as she spoke with unease. "Why should I trust you?"The voice remained assertive, "You're desperate, at a dead end. You can lend me a hand with something I need, or you can choose not to and remain in the dark about your father." The voice said and emma's throat suddenly felt dry, what does she have to give the strange caller by the way?"What exactly do you need my help with?" Emma's voice wavered, her breath catching in her throat as the voice emitted a satisfied chuckle.The voice continued, "I need you to uncover some secrets about your boyfriend." A hint of amusement colored its tone, leaving Emma even more confused.Holding onto the phone tightly, Emma listened to the voice on the other end. "My boyfrien
