Chapter 31

Sebastian's POV

"It was no accident, father! Naomi pushed Emily over the stairs and I'm not going to rest until she pays for what she did. Emily could have been permanently injured or worse! What the hell was Naomi thinking? All of this because I'm not in love with her and wouldn't make her my wife!" I was livid as I explained to my father that Naomi was responsible for Emily's accident.

"Sebastian, I would take care of this and you should be focusing on asking for Emily's hand in marriage. Along with the surprise you plan on giving her."

"Thanks dad." I replied as I gave him a manly hug before leaving his office.

The following evening, I found Emily on her balcony, reading a book. She had her feet up and her silk dress hoisted up, revealing her smooth skin underneath. I cleared my throat loudly to get her attention.

"You know, if you look this good while reading a book, I just might want to make a few more 'chapters' with you." I teased her.

"Oh really? What kind of chapters?"
