" will you...or will you not let me see her?."
" You know I can never keep her away from her own mother, she will be very happy that you're still alive... just as I am thrilled to have my darling wife back."
Emma kept silent, ' darling wife ' she's heard that before. It's all so familiar.
" And with your permission, I would like to spend time with my son... and him to acknowledge me as his father. Not the doctor."
" I will think about it."
Emma stood walking out.
CAMPUS GROUNDS..
Winter sipped on her chocolate latte when Karol surprised her from behind.
" Guess who?."
Winter pretended to be clueless for a while trying to guess whom it could be.
" Let me see, it starts with a k and ends with an l."
Karol removed her hands from winter's eyes taking a sit beside her.
" How are you?."
" I'm doing good, sorry if I was such a bother yesterday."
" Don't be silly, I'm here for you." They hugged it out.
...
After Sonya's graduation ceremony, she and her friends went to party and later on travel and visit a couple of places with her friends. Which of course her Dad was covering for all the expenses. She hugged Emma and promised to spend more time together once she returns, kissing her baby brother and bidding fair well to everyone.
" Where is she?."
Emma approached Alec with a straight up face. Giving feminine aura, " is it just him or she has become more damn serious and no tolerance?."
" Let's go, my darling Emma." He smirks absolutely loving this side of her.
They walked to the parking lot where Eli ran out of the car as soon as she spotted Emma.
" Mommy?."!
A tear dropped from Emma's eyes running to her daughter, her sweet little giggles and calling her mommy was the sweetest sounds. Her blue eyes gleaming with a sparkle of tears forming in her innocent eyes, her two sided ponytails bouncing up and down...her bright smile so cute like nothing she's seen, this little girl was her image when she was younger herself. Flashes of images came rushing back when she held her baby girl at birth, her tiny cry and giggles when something excited her. Emma hugged Eli kissing her face multiple times.
" You're alive, you're really here mommy."
" I'm sorry, mommy is so sorry she took so long to return to you."
" Don't cry, Daddy explained everything... I'm just happy you're here with me again. Don't ever leave me again mommy."
" I won't sweetie, I promise...I love you so much."
" You're coming home with us right? Please come home mommy."
" Sweetie I -
" Princess, of course mommy will come back home with us, just not today... She needs to clear up some misunderstandings first. Isn't that right, mommy?."
Emma narrowed her sharp eyes at Alec, by ' misunderstandings ' he was clearly referring to Julian. Either way she has to return to her family. With a nod, Eli was excited and told them the exciting news.
" Mommy, Daddy. My school is holding a teacher, parents conference tomorrow morning. You two have to be there."
" Tomorrow?." Alec raised a brow.
" Yes, and don't say you're busy at the office Daddy, you never attend any of the school meetings... please come tomorrow."
" I'm not promising princess, Daddy has a big important meeting tomorrow morning."
" Aww, Dad." Eli gave a pouting face facing down.
" I will be there sweetie, but right now I have to go."
" Yes! Bye bye mommy, I love you."
" I love you too."
Emma walked back to her car driving off. Eli hugged Alec with a whisper.
" Thank you for bringing her back to me."
" We should thank the heavens for not taking her." He patts her soft hair.
Back home. Alec took off his jacket throwing it on the sofa and poured a glass of whiskey for himself, trying to figure out what he'll do next. He was like a kitten who is attached to it's favorite old toy but doesn't want to let go of his current new toy. In this scenario, he's referring to Emma and Winter.
Winter is like a soft feather blowing in summer air, a delicate flower that blooms alone in the mountains. She's a soft tender music that smoothen everyone or anything that listens, a lonely damsel that's waiting to be saved by a dark knight. She's hard to ignore, her green emerald eyes, her soft smooth delicate skin, her long brown straight hair that flows like a river, her pink thin lips that always bit the tip of her lower lip whenever she looks or talks to him, begging to be kissed...to be devoured without a single word, her long slim fingertips that redden whenever she's cold or blushing to hard, her slender figure, her thick lashes that move like butterfly wings whenever she looks at him. It's something he can't ignore. And when she calls his name from those lips of hers, it f*cking drives him crazy.
But Emma. His Darling Emma, is like a rose with thorns, a single prick from it's thorn is enough to knock him down. With her he's willing to submit, she's like a rare black rose that grows far away in the dark forest. One of a kind, a rare sight for any man to set eyes upon, those grey eyes that shines bright under the moon, her pink slightly thin lips that gets his mind in total chaos just by staring at them. Her brown long hair, sexy figure and enticing cat walk, so confident and proud. She's a woman who knows her worth and he absolutely loves it. She's his infinity, he would utterly, completely burn the world down for her. She's his first love... and hopefully his last, he would die for her, he would serve her for eternity as long as they're together.
Each one of these two women have their special characteristics. So different yet, have their beautiful flaws.
Emma. A courageous woman who's given him two beautiful children, an exact replica of herself, his beautiful daughter Eli. And an exact image of himself, their son Alex. The heir to the Qinn family.
And there's Winter, his second wife who stood in as Emma's replacement. Even though they got married by rules and regulations on a piece of paper they are still considered married, but since Emma is still alive he's marriage to Winter will be considered void and not recognized by the state. But he can't just throw her out, she's his responsibility, he's her family now she has no one else. Her good for nothing father abandoned her to those lowlifes of a family who abused her all her life. She simply can't go back there.
Alec lays back in his study room. All this was too overwhelming at this point.
....
Emma sat in the dark living room waiting for Julian to return, it's the first time he's been this late. The door creaked open and Emma jumped out of her seat.
" Julian."
" What are you still doing up?."
" I want us to talk."
" Couldn't it wait till tomorrow?."
" No, it's better we talk now."
" Ok. "
Julian sat down with Emma beside him. " I met my eldest daughter today, I asked her father to let me see her and I did."
" You... you met him?."
" I asked Trixie to tell me everything she knew, and soon I will return to them... for the sake of my kids, for my family."
" You're leaving me?."
" Julian, I will still be here for you...so will Alex."
She touched his face, her fingertips so cold but sent warmth to his body. The way she looks at him, her slight smile that makes everything okay even though they're not.
His fingers caresses her cheek, slowly moving to her soft cherry lips.
" I really, really like you. Emma Rose Anderson."
Emma hesitated for a while before colliding her warm soft lips with his. Emma moaned against his lips, her warm breath shivering with each moan. Her body moving to his enticing touch, his teeth grazing on her neck teasingly biting her.
" Should I?."
He whispered. He wasn't going to go through with it if she doesn't wish it, he would never force her into doing something she'll terribly regret afterwards. Emma nodded letting him in, she wanted this... she needed this, whether she regrets this later on its her choice to make. Julian unbuttoned the buttons on her shirt one by one, he laid her down on the couch, pressing on her stomach kissing her.
