Emily's Pov: I cleaned our room for hours, though being a new house it was already clean. I had this habit of cleaning stuff when I was depressed. Yes, I am depressed. That's because my husband is having an ...Read MoreJust kidding. He is my fake husband if that term even exists. And he married me to have an affair! Can it get anymore dramatic? Oh yes. I am his best friend who has been in love with him for fifteen years when I should be using this time to get over him. I patted the sofa, dusted the shelves
Emily's POV: I felt horrible and disgusting. I closed my ears, trying to stuff a pillow but to no vain. Man, Edward really had some balls to sleep with Lara when I was in the next room. The walls ...Read Moremuch of a negative soundproof than I could ever comprehend. I closed my eyes, trying to sleep but Lara was literally screaming aloud for all ears to hear in the house.

Now I can die in peace," Mia said sarcastically, tears still evident in her eyes.
Emily's POV: Pretending to love him was never tough for me. With a genuine smile on my face, a slight flush of cheeks, the rigorous beating of heart, sweatiness of palm, butterflies in the stomach or the stuttering of ...Read Moretongue, I was familiar with all types of symptoms of love. Because I had experienced all of them. In mere twenty years. Edward's parents came to visit us, giving us the wedding gift for our honeymoon. Bam! What had they given us?

Emily's POV: I woke up early, my legs entangled with Edward's, his arms scooping me up till our cheeks were touching. I gasped, feeling something poking on my lower stomach. I put hands on my mouth from making any ...Read Moreof noise. I knew very well what it was, I was once a medical student for Merlin's sake!

Mia's Pov: I was getting tensed with the progress of time. He wasn't showing any progress in his health, his forehead still burning as hot as lava. I took a wet strip of cloth, dripping from the bowl, squeezed ...Read Moreand placed it on his forehead. His porridge was turning cold but he wasn't eating it, saying his throat hurt. "Jake, you gotta eat it otherwise I will be having trouble feeding you the medicines. They won't work on an empty stomach," I said, caressing his hair. He made no sound of approval, his nose was all red from sneezing,

I sipped the last drop before entering ...Read Morewashroom to take a shower, taking my clothes which Jake went to take from my house. He actually refused me smoothly not to even walk outside his house when I was without my bra! I couldn't even imagine what else he must have seen when ransacking my closet, my girl stuff mustn't have gone unnoticed by his view! I kicked
Mia's POV: I woke up to the sound of something crashing on the floor. I hurried to Jake's room, too afraid to check my own. "Are you okay? Did you fall?" I asked, worried about him. "I told you ...Read Moreto walk two steps out of that fucking bed of yours and you- AH!" I cried, instantly groaning in pain when my legs landed on something sharp. I sat on the floor with pain, water seeping into fibres of my jeans. "Don't come here, Mia! I think I broke-what the hell! You stepped on the broken glass vase!" Jake said,
Mia's Pov: I was devastated. No, that shit was not happening with me. His company was way more precious to me than my own feelings, which he had been crushing since the day I met him. I quickly told ...Read MoreI would call him later and cut the line. Ignoring my own pain, I ran towards Jake, grabbing his hands which were red from the hot coffee which was spilt over them just minutes ago. I blew air on his burning hand, making sure not to touch it when he pushed me not-so-gently. "Don't touch me! I don't want anyone's
Emily's POV: It had been a week since we last came to Mauritius.

My fingers were then entangled with something

Surprise, surprise, it was my birthday too! And I was ...Read Moresad because he had a gift already planned out for her. It was because he forgot my birthday over hers. I sighed.

This happens, it is life, it is love ...Read MoreIt's my fucking birthday as well, my inner voice shouted. I looked at my right and left, planning a route of escape. Because I ain't no fairy tale princess who thinks that when her prince would hear of her secret feelings for him, he would confess romantically in front of her, kissing her and then they live happily ever after!
Emily's Pov: "My birthday ended three hours ago. Its way past midnight, Mr Jones!" Edward's face fell comically. His smile turned into a frown. I was sad seeing Edward's face full of guilt upon hearing that my birthday ended ...Read Morehe didn't even get to wish me. I tried to convince him that it wasn't his fault and that I was happy spending time with him but he didn't look much convinced. He nodded meekly before rushing upstairs to change after we settled on the matter that he wouldn't cook, as we didn't want him to endanger our health. I
Emily's Pov: I was preparing myself lunch, with Miranda helping me to do it since Edward didn't want me to get into another trouble again. I switched on the TV, changed the channels and settled on watching 'Big Bang ...Read Moremy favourite show from my college days.

I glared at the spot in the corner of the greenhouse, a growing mould and horsetail above it, trying to distract myself from the fact that I was practically walking half naked in some attire that women dared to call a 'dress'. While
Emily's Pov: "Lily," I heard Edward whisper to me but his voice seemed so distant to my inner turmoil. I took one hesitant step back, followed by one or two more before I felt him grab my arm abruptly, ...Read Moreme slightly towards himself. But my mind was too hazed by the strange revelation of my true feelings in a not so impressive and romantic way. I had always recalculated every possibility of being exposed or disclosed about my feelings but none of them involved one certain beautiful Edward's girlfriend.

Emily's Pov: "Emi." I felt a slight tug at my fingers, which brought me out of my reverie. I realized the situation I was in, where I would be caught like a snare in a trap any minute I ...Read Moredown my guard. I looked up to see him staring at me, his eyes held a usual expression of concern. For a friend. Yes. That's what he would always feel for me! Concern. Friendship. As if I never deserved anything else. I smiled at him, my lips curling up longer than I had expected them to, considering nobody in their
Emily's Pov: Um, what? Did I hear him right? No. Wait! Maybe I was hallucinating! "What do you mean?" He looked at me, maybe contemplating his own words, or maybe preparing to rephrase his sentence. I expected him to ...Read MoreOr elaborate on it. Instead, he left my hands to pay for the dinner leaving me to dig holes into my ear to assure myself if I heard him right. We were walking silently on the road and Edward was keeping a slow pace behind me, talking something with Michael. I had this sudden enlightenment that maybe I had been

Edward was pressing me to his side, his large sculptured hands were encircled around my waist firmly and I couldn't help but feel how perfect his hands fit my generous figure. And then I started thinking about how his hands would feel against my chest. Would they be able to cover them up? Maybe his hands were bigger
Emily's POV: I was stunned for a while, standing intact and erect, not moving an inch to waver my gaze at him. When I blinked for once, I found my dream still going on. Only it wasn't some dream. ...Read Morereally said those words I imagined him saying so smoothly only in my dreams!

Emily's Pov: I stared meekly at Rose while she continued to point two guns at two men present on the room, one crawling on the corner and other still in confusion, standing at the door.

Emily's pov: I was preparing breakfast when Edward came down sleepily, his hairs all ruffled up like a bird nest and he muttered something about how I dragged him away from bed so early.

I slid bowl of hot vegetable soup in front of him and he nodded absent mindedly, still leaning to table sleepily and digging his spoon in table to eat, and not in the real bowl.
