Dangerous
Morning sunlight streamed into the room, but Alex had barely slept. He sat at the edge of his bed, his elbows on his knees and his face buried in his hands.
His mind churned with the events of the previous night and everything that had happened since he met Emma.
He thought about his discovery and the fact that Jake would betray him like this, and all for what? The CEO's position?
He thought about what Vanessa had done for probably love and how she would've slept with him if he hadn't done what he did.
He couldn't keep this from Emma. He thought, thinking about how Emma would feel if she were to find out what happened.
Deciding to tell her everything, he stood up to go about his morning routine. Since it was Saturday, he had enough time to talk to her and make plans.
By the time he walked downstairs, it was nearly 8 AM. Emma was in the kitchen, her hair pulled into a loose bun as she placed breakfast on the counter.
