Will she return to her once lover, or will she accept her growing feelings for her contract husband? Find out as we unravel Emma's story together! *****Excerpt******** “Why would you help when I was put in this mess by my own husband?” Emma cut in, now crying. “Because your husband is my nephew, and not only do I want to salvage the situation my nephew put you in, I want to escape his plot,” Alex said, and Emma’s heart stopped for a moment, a cold chill running down her spine as she replayed the words in her head. Nephew? His nephew? Jake was this man's... Alex's nephew? She mused, and then the realization of what that meant dawned on her like a crashing wave, knocking the breath from her lungs. Her eyes widened as she stared at him, the shock evident on her face. “Your nephew? You’re Alex Sterling, Jake's uncle?” she asked, unable to believe it herself. Alex nodded, his expression unchanged. “Yes. I'm his uncle,” Alex confirmed, and Emma shook her head.

Where Are You

Back at the house, Emma sat in her room, the faint ticking of the clock the only sound breaking the silence. It was past 9 PM, and Alex still wasn't home.

She had tried to dismiss her unease, telling herself that he had said he would be home late. But as the minutes ticked by, her worry grew and she couldn't help it.

Was he that busy?

Although she knew this kind of thing came with his job as the CEO, she still couldn't help it. For the past one month that he had taken the role, he had never been this late away. She mused as she headed to the living room to wait for him there.

Twenty minutes later, Emma paced back and forth in the dimly lit living room, her nerves fraying with every passing minute.

The clock on the mantle read 10:45 PM. Alex was never this late without checking in. She clutched her phone tightly in her hand, her thumb hovering over his number.
