Emily POV

Once I compose myself I look around apologizing. I could see the looks on people's faces and I was turning red due to embarrassment. Some lady with colors that staff at the hotel wore offers to call the clean up staff for me. "Do you need help getting to your room" is all I hear her soft voice say I look at the woman. She looks to be in her mid fifties but still looked young for her age. she had long gray hair with honey brown eyes that matched her skin. I smile softly "no thank you I don't know what came over me." Is all I say with a sweet smile then I walk to my room. Opening the door I see Jessica sitting on the bed looking up something on her computer. She looks up and says "It's about time you made it back, I'm starving!" I shut the door "well we will have to get something to eat after we move" she gives me a strange look "what did that lawyer say?" I walk to my suitcase to grab my toothbrush "nothing much except my grandmother was a rich woman like really rich and she left it all to me" is all I say somewhat in disbelief of the words that are coming from my mouth.

I walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth as I hear Jessica freaking out in the other room. She walks into the bathroom "are you fucking kidding me you walked out on millions to only get it anyways I wish I had your luck " is all she says and I give her the are you kidding me look my husband cheats on me and I do the right thing and walk away no matter how bad it hurts. I finish brushing my teeth and she sighs "sorry I mean when it comes to money, Ericson is a total prick... my love life is shit too" is all she says and I laugh softly the only reason her love life is crap is because she is way too picky. "You know you could have any guy you want" is all I say as I walk out of the bathroom. She follows me saying "and what you can't, I remember tons of guys that wanted you but you were too busy stuck on that asshole." She was right I had tons of guys who wanted to date me but I was in love with Ericson he was perfect to me back then, I wonder if he ever truly loved me.

I grab my bags "I have the address right here" I dig in my pocket pulling out the keys on it was a keyring and the address hanging from it. She looks at it handing it back to me she grabs her bags and we walk downstairs to check out. Once we are done we walk to the parking structure to get the car we drove here in. She gets in the drivers seat typing in the address "it says it's 35 minutes from here." Is all she says as she starts up the car driving off. It takes us some time to pull up to the secluded road we drove up. There were a few mansions along the way. The car stops at two large gates it says Dawson Estate in large golden letters I go to the gate typing in the code to open it I walk back to the car as the gate opens. I sit in the car and she begins to drive up to an all white mansion. Wow! Is all I think "this place is pretty big" is all I hear Jessica say as she parks the car. Getting out I look around the outside of the home.

I walk towards the door pulling out the key using it to unlock the door. Once I opened it looking around it was beautiful the furniture was little too old for my liking but that can be easily replaced. I decided to look around before I grabbed my things. When I walk into the living room I can already picture how I would change it. I would place the bar across from the large all stone fireplace. I would keep the TV where it's at but probably increase the size. I would change the couches from that creamy white color to all black. I walked towards the kitchen it was large with everything you needed to turn any meal into a masterpiece. I walked from the large staircase to the second floor. walked to the first room it was large. But I could tell it wasn't the master suite. It let out its own balcony with a nice walk in closet and its own bathroom.

I look through the rest of the rooms there is a library, theatre,even what looks like a game room. The last room was locked I cut my eyes. I'm going to have to call the lawyer and get the key to that room is all I think. I walk down to see Jessica pulling the bags out "I have already picked out my room" is all she says with excitement in her tone. I grab some of my bags and take them to the master bedroom. This room was huge it had its own private bar, a large fireplace made from marble. Two long white couches infront of a large glass table. Two walk in closets and its own private bathroom and a large balcony. I begin to unpack it takes a good hour. Jessica walks in on her phone and says "I'm ordering some groceries do you need anything?" I look at her "get me some juices you know the kind I like and get everything for tacos" is all I say then I grab everything to get in the shower. "I brought extra tampons since I already started you should be next." I grab my pajamas "i haven't started yet" is all I say she gives me a wtf look. "I'm on my second day you're never late" I grab my stuff telling her it should come soon then I go to the bathroom turning on the shower.

I wash my body as I think about what she said she is right I'm always on time like clockwork. It could be stress is all I think and I have been under a lot of stress lately going through what I have who wouldn't be. After a good 20 minute shower. I get out and moisturize my body then I put on some all black shorts with a white tank top. I walk out to see Jessica looking for something to watch "it still had the Internet connected so I could log into my Netflix account the food should be here in an hour" is all she says when she sees me. The food was delayed so two hours later I helped her unpack the grocery bags as I listened to music on my phone. I pull out a pregnancy test my eyes get wide oh shit is all I think as I look at her before handing it to her. I wonder why she didn't tell me that she might be pregnant I wouldn't judge her she is my best friend and would make a great mother is all I think before she hands it back to me.

I take out my ear pods "why did you hand this back to me?" Is all I ask with curiosity. She sits down as she puts some water in the fridge and says "you are late you have been sick do I have to spell it out for you." I cut my eyes "that's impossible you have to have s..e...x..." I don't even finish she sits down opening up a bottle of wine pouring herself a glass the other glass sits next to it empty. "I bet images of last month are flooding your mind right now, if it's negative I will pour you a glass " is all she says. I sigh as I think about her words then I walk to the bathroom taking the test and I walk out waiting for the results. As I wait I think back to that night me and Ericson were drunk out of our minds and it just happened and now I may be paying for that night. Jessica walks into the room sipping her drink "I'm here with you" is all she says to show me support. If I am I know I will love my child. No matter what but I don't know if I would tell Ericson. it was the longest two minutes of my life. Once the timer on my phone goes off I walk into the restroom looking down at the positive results. What am I going to do is all I think. Jessica walks into the bathroom hugging me "awe sweety it's going to be okay I'm right here with you and I'm not going anywhere!" Is all she says showing me comfort.

Ericson's POV

I woke up early seeing Alyssa lying next to me my mind drifted back to last night. I enjoyed her company but something was missing. Alyssa's eyes flutter open and she smiles as she sees me "hey you" is all she says I look in her blue eyes she is beautiful with a banging body but that's it. I get up and say good morning to her I grab my clothes and put them on as I say"I need to get home I have work this morning." She sits up as she does the covers fall to her waist revealing her lovely chest. She pouts "but I want to spend the day with you!" I roll my eyes as I grab my shoes "I'm busy today finding something else to do." She groans "you know if I lived with you we could spend more time together." I scoff there is no way I'm moving her into my villa what does she add to my life to make it easier. "I don't think that's a good idea I don't want to live with you." Is all I say calmly she should already know that my answer would be no.

She stands up "so I have to still be your secret even though you got rid of that bitch of a wi..." Before she could finish my hands were wrapped around her neck my eyes went from grey to pitch black "don't you ever mention my ex wife you just keep those pretty little lips wrapped around my cock before it gets you in trouble" is all I growl out as I squeeze slightly harder her eyes widen as she nods her head quickly. When I let her go she falls to the ground coughing and gasping for air. I grab my keys "I will be back in two days" I say as I walk out going to my car. I don't know why I got so angry when she mentioned Emily in that way I just did. I start my car speeding off as I call Thomson when he answers I ask "have you been able to find Emily?" He tells me it's like she just disappeared from New York but he is going to do a wider search because she might have left town. But she has no family out of town at least none that I know of.

I let out a growl in frustration "find me some answers it's not like her to just disappear" is all I say as I finally get to my gates when they open I drive up the long driveway and park my car then I get out walking to my door walking inside. I walk to my room getting into the shower. After a good 30 minute shower I get out putting some moisturizer on my skin before I get dressed then I brush my teeth . I pull out the suit I will be wearing Into the office then I walk downstairs to cook breakfast as my phone rings I look down at the name and it says Derick me and him have been friends since middle school. We went to the college together except he studied to become a doctor and even went pre-med. The dude is smart and gifted but he decided he didn't really want to heal people he enjoyed inflecting pain more. I answer the phone "what's up" he tells me how he got ahold of leo his contact in Egypt wants more of the guns we shipped to him two months ago.

I pull out the ingredients I need I remember when I first started college I didn't know how to survive on my own I couldn't cook or wash my own clothes I always had people for that . It wasn't until I met Emily she taught me how it felt to take care of yourself. "Okay we'll get a hold of Tomas so they can get on that" i say as I begin to cook. We continue to talk about a club he wants to open in Louisiana. I'm all for expanding he wants to expand our business out there and he wants us to get into the party scene. "You get us some connections for the drugs and see which ones are hot out there, come to me with the numbers and we will talk." Is all I say before I hang up the phone. After I finish making my omelette I grab a bottle of orange juice sitting at the table eating some food. I need to stop by my parents house before my lunch meeting is all I think. As I continue to eat once I'm done I clean my dishes and finish getting ready for work.

I walk downstairs grabbing my keys checking my Rolex on my wrist for the time. Then I walk to my all red Corvette getting in speeding off. It takes me a good 40 minutes to get to the office Alyssa text me about a dozen times wondering when I will be coming to see her again I pull into the parking lot parking my car as I text the word soon. I walk into the main office and the security officer Julius says "good morning Mr.King" is all I hear in his southern accent. He is an older man from Texas he is about 5ft 7 in with long gray hair his eyes are blue he was kind of chubby but still was very good at his job. "Good morning Julius" is all I say as I walk towards the elevator pushing the button waiting for it to open. As I wait for the elevator door I think back to my morning with Alyssa she is fun in bed but is she what I need long term. There is only one way to find out is all I think and that means I have to give her a chance.

Once the elevator opens I walk in seeing my head of marketing. He was a younger male he was in his mid 20's he was short and skinny with glasses. He always looked nervous but he was the best in his field and I pride myself on having the best in all my businesses. "I was just about to call you, I need those papers on my desk in one hour" is all I say when I walk into the elevator. He looks at me and says "right away sir." I push the button for the top floor. Once the door opens I walk into my office sitting my briefcase down on the black couch there is all glass table sits in front of it. I walk to the large all mahogany desk with my computer sitting on it with papers spread all around it. I sit down looking through some of the paperwork once I find what I need I compare it to last month's growth. It takes me a few moments to go through the information it's not adding up is all I think. I push a button calling in our accountant "I need you in my office now!" I lean back waiting for him.
