Chapter 35
Emily Thompson
“Oh my God! Is that Bryan?!” Jessica exclaimed worriedly.
“Erm… I will talk to you girls later I said and hurriedly hung up the call.
“Hey, babe. You’re home earlier than I expected” I said, looking at him seductively as I walked slowly closer to him and hugged him.
He didn’t say anything instead, he pulled me more into his embrace and hugged me tightly. Even though my heart was beating really fast, I still tried to control myself.
He broke the hug and looked intensely into my eyes. “look at how hard you’re trying to breathe properly. Now tell me, Emily. What’s that thing you’re trying to hide from me?” He asked, looking serious and not giving a room for a joke.
Yes! There’s no escape in this now.
I locked my gaze with him whilst he raised one of his brows, indicating that I should speak
- up.
“Well, you caught me on this…” I trailed off, a sigh escaping my l*p yet, he didn’t say anything. He keeps waiting for me to say something.
“I went to the supermarket market today to get some groceries myself. It was supposed to be a surprise but you’ve ruined it all and now I have to spill it out. I hate you!” I hissed and then pouted as I gently hit him on his ch*st with my small hands yet, he stood there looking emotionless.
He’s waiting for me to complete my statement. Could he have known that there’s something big I’m trying to hide from him? It’s not just only about me going to the supermarket.
“You know, it has always been the maid’s job to go get the groceries but because I had wanted. to be the one who cooked your meal, I went out alone. I’m sorry I didn’t tell. I was planning on keeping this a secret because I know you’ll be upset but, you caught me already” I lied.
Well, it wasn’t a total lie. I went out alone but there’s no way I’m going to tell him about
Xavier
He stared at me for a few seconds before pulling me for a tight hug again. It’s fine. So, what did you cook for your handsome husband?” He asked, breaking the hug and smiling down at
Day, did he buy the lie?
– Your favorite. I said it earlier ”
I’m glad he didn’t notice anything though.
I was just about to shower before you came in. And, why did you come back so early? I expected you to be back in the next two hours or so ”
“Let’s say, I missed my wife so much that I want to be with her” he said, hugging me and k*ssing me on my l*p.
“And your work? You’re becoming negligent about your work these days, Bryan ‘ I reasoned
out.
No, I’m not. Besides, I’m the boss. I can leave whenever I want and go when I’m ready. No one is going to scold me he said arrogantly.
“There we go again” I hissed and rolled my eyes making him burst out laughing.
Come on, you said you wanted to take a shower, right? Allow me to bathe you, Your Highness” He said, a mischievous look on his face. I know this looks very well. He didn’t mean it when he said he was going to bathe me. He wanted to do it for his own benefit.
Pervert.
“No, I’m fine. I can do it myself. I have hands you know” I said, trying to get out of his grip as I was already wrapped in his arms but this man won’t let me go.
“Don’t be stubborn, my love. You and I know that you want this badly. Come on, let’s just take a bath together and enjoy the few hours together before having the taste of your delicious meal” he began to tickle me and after that, he scooped me up in his arms and sauntered to the bathroom to take a shower together which I know, it’s going to end in something else.
Bryan wouldn’t stop appreciating the food I prepared for him. It feels so great when your man knows your worth. I feel so happy and on top of the world. The sweet moment between us was going to be the best moment in history until the slut herself shows up.
Yes, Catherine.
Not only with her but with Aunt Capella.
These two women had become a thorn in my flesh recently – I thought, mentally Facepalming myself.
As for Catherine, Bryan already told me a while ago about her visit. He told me she would be
here for three nights and two days. Today is Friday and the prince wanted to see, the

the company but, I’m still glad they brought it here. It means I will be able to monitor that slut of a girl if she tries anything stupid with my man.
The boys will also be spending two days with us which is fine by me. I guess, this was what my sisters intended to tell me earlier before Bryan arrived.
Bryan was skeptical before telling me about the news. He had thought I was going to be upset but I surprised him instead. I wasn’t furious or reacted negatively to the news. I make sure to take everything under control. All I told him was ‘It’s fine. After all, this is nothing but business. You’re a businessman and you have to make money
He was shocked. He never expected that from me.
Yes, I know that this bitch would be staying with us but what I don’t understand is Aunt Capella’s presence.
Why is she here again?
For goodness sake, I thought Bryan warned her not to visit us again for the time being.
Immediately Bryan’s eye fixed on her, he jumped up from his seat with an uncomfortable stare on his face. “Aunt Capella, what are you doing here?”
“Hello to you too my dear handsome nephew‘ She said in a very sweet tone. She didn’t act like someone who had a misunderstanding with him days ago.
She looks so happy and vibrant.
She hugged him briefly and ordered the maids who were with their bags to take them up to
her room.
“Don’t tell me you came here to-”
“Yes, I have come here to stay for the next two days with this beautiful hard–working lady. here.” She announced happily.
“What?! You left your home, children, and husband to babysit a grown–up lady?! Who does that?!” Bryan asked in an unbelievable tone.
“Whichever way you wish to put it, is fine by me. As long as you don’t treat this beautiful lady standing right here beside me badly then, we will be cool with each other. Besides, your uncle traveled to Morocco to seal a deal. Bethany and Bianca went to Paris. No one is at home except me. You don’t expect this old lady to be all alone by herself in that huge mansion, do you?”
What are you even saying? How the F*** did you know that she will be staying in my house
the next few days!
Bryan. And don’t you dare think because you have threatened me the sn’t to us please! I’m like your mom and Fean do whanivet ub

my son’s house” She said in a commanding tone.
Her attention suddenly focused on Catherine as she turned to face her. The way she looks at her, the way she smiles and stares at her proudly, I wish she could just look at me that way
[00
“Good evening, Aunt Capella” I finally opened my mouth to greet her. I do not want her to say I disrespected her again for not greeting her.
“It’s almost 3 minutes since I arrived here and you didn’t bother to greet me so, why now? She asked, narrowing her eyes at me.
“Okay, that’s enough. You came here to babysit her right? Then be my guest” Bryan said and before I could understand what was happening, he already held my hand and dragged me away with him to our room.
“Bryan! Bryan come back here. This is not the right way to treat your guest!” She yelled but he turned into a deaf ear.
We were on our way and taking the last step before entering the room when we suddenly heard Aunt Capella scream. She sounds like someone who just encountered danger. Bryan. and I looked at each other’s faces before running back downstairs but guess what we saw?
There lay unconsciously on the floor,
Catherine!
