AUTHORESS P. O. V
“Yeah, she’s” Leo replied with a frown. “Your face is scaring me, hope all is well?” Maxwell asked.
“Relax honey, I believe Miss Maxwell is fine,” Mr. Maxwell said.
“Leo talk, what happened?” Mr. Maxwell said. “Emma has moved out of Paris and I can’t trance her new location!” Leo replied.
“I knew it, my daughter is very smart, but I’ll get Miss Maxwell no matter what,” Mr. Maxwell said.
“I told you we should be fast about it, Emma has outsmarted us now,” Mrs. Maxwell said.
“Relax honey we will get her, she can’t be smarter than me, never,” Mr. Maxwell said.
“I don’t know why, Emma wanna give me hypertension,” Mrs. Maxwell said.
“Common honey, Emma loves us, so she can’t give you hypertension, I’ll get her before the engagement, trust me,” Mr. Maxwell said.
“How did you expect me to trust you when Emma have run away, how did she even know that we have gotten her location?” Mrs. Maxwell asked.
“That’s to show you that my daughter is very wise and smart,” Mr. Maxwell said.
“Can I take my leave?” Leo asked.
“No, make sure you track her new location, or else, you’ll stop working for me and you know what that means,” Mr. Maxwell said and Leo bow his head.
“Alright Mr. Maxwell, give me one week” Leo replied.
“A week is too much, she needs to prepare for her engagement” Mrs. Maxwell yelled.
“Relax honey,” Mr Maxwell said and face Leo. “Alright take your time,” Mr. Maxwell said.
“Goodnight sir” Leo replied and walked out.
He entered his car and hit his car staring angrily.
“Why did I even tell her that I know his location in the first place, I don’t want her to get married to her mother friend’s son, I want her!” Leo said angrily.
“She’s mine, I’ll make sure I find her and this time I’m not gonna tell anyone her location,” Leo said and brought out his phone.
He dialed Emma’s number and wait for her to pick up.
“Gosh!, She’s not picking my calls,” Be said hitting his staring hard.
“Come to think of it, did I even love this girl?” Leo asked himself.
EMMA P. O. V
“What are you talking about?” Emma asked. “I love you, I can’t take it if you fall in love with someone else,” he said close to tears.
Did he truly love me? I don’t wanna even think about that.
“Look here Rowen, love isn’t my thing, I can’t risk it,” I said holding his hand and he look at me with tears in his eyes.
“I love you Emma, I’ve never felt like this before, I can die of I see with you someone else, I don’t wanna share you with someone else,” Rowen said.
“Look at me, you don’t need to cry, why don’t you just give the love to someone that worth it, I love you as a friend and fûck buddy, I can’t allow myself to fall in love, that shît is very risky I don’t wanna stress my heart, you can try Someone else please” I replied.
“Babe you don’t know what you’re doing to me, I don’t understand myself since I met you, I can kîll myself if you fall in love with someone else, I want you to please!” He said.
“I’m very sure I’m not your first love, what happened to her? Why did you break up with her?” I said standing up because I’m very sure he will also tell his first love then that If she leaves him he will dîe.
“You don’t know me, Emma!” Rowen said.
“I don’t wanna know you though, I just wanna know what happened to your first love,” I said.
“She left me!” Rowen replied.
“For no reason?” I replied with a frown.
“It’s a long story!” Rowen said.
“Can you make it short?” I asked him and he nod his head.
He cleaned his face with the back of his hand. “I caught her with my brother when I came back from catering school” he replied.
“Was she the only person you’ll ever dated?” I asked again.
“No I dated Dora, but she did the same thing” he replied.
“Huh, are you sure you aren’t lieing, anyway that’s none of my business, Rowen, you’re a handsome guy, yes I must admit it, if not for the fact that I don’t wanna get married, I don’t wanna fall in love, yeah! Gone are those days, I will have dated you, but now I’m not ready to stress my heart, I came to Paris because my parents are bugging me to get married” I said to him.
“Why don’t you believe in love?” He asked me and I smile out.
“Like every other person, I had always wished to know the feelings of love, to give and to get it in return,” I said and he nod his head.
“but the relationship never seemed to be my thing, that shît has never worked for me, as I always ended up being the victim of one-sided love.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
After trying a series of relationships, without any, working out for me, I decided to give up on love and started sleeping around with men, after all, I have the money and beauty to get any man I want, I’ve discovered it’s not about the man that dumb me, my relationship isn’t just for me, it’s not for me, I just wanna get laid, and nothing more, I don’t need a man in my life, I’m a successful lady, I can adopt a child anytime I need one” I said and he sigh.
“It’s okay to get tired or take a break from relationship, but it’s not okay to give up, I think our story is similar, I also ran away from home, because my parents wanna dictate my life, they want me to take over there companies, which I did and I have made a lot of money for them, they’re the top two of the richest men, just because of me but they don’t want me to pursue my dream of becoming a chef, my father said being a chef is a dîrty job, he thinks I wanna tarnish his image,” he said.
“Oh my goodness! You’re Rowan Hunt?” I asked surprised because I don’t believe my ear right now, I think my ear is misbehaving.
“Yeah, I’m!” He replied and look away.
“Goodness! Why did you even decide to be a chef in the first place?” I asked surprised.
“I love it!” Rowen replied.
“Why don’t you just open your restaurant then?” Emma asked.
“I’ve countless restaurants, I just wanna keep a low life to find someone that loves me dearly, and I love keeping a low profile, it gives me joy,” Rowen said.
“Yeah, because we’ve never seen Mr. Hunt son picture before, we just know he has a son called Rowen” Emma replied.
“Yeah, I begged my mother to keep me off social media” he replied.
“Oh, nice meeting you Mr. Rowen Hunt” I said with a smile.
“Common!” He replied with a smile.
“So back to our discussion, I can kill myself if you fall in love with Stanley, I won’t stop you to partner with him since it’s your dream,” he said.
“I can’t fall in love with him, my heart is strong like rock and I can’t love you either, love isn’t my thing,” I said.
“I’ll make you love me, I don’t just want you to fall in love with someone else, because my feelings get no remedy, I just have to endure for the main time,” He said.
“Let me see you try,” I said and he slams his lips on mine.
“Hey let’s eat first,” I said stopping him with my hand.
“No, I’ll eat later!” He replied.
“Our efforts will go in vain,” I said and he frown his face.
He grumpily sat down and shift the food to himself.
Looking at him closely he’s very handsome, that is what moves me to him.
“Sincerely speaking, you’re a good cook!” I said.
“Yeah, I’m doing my dream work,” he said with a proud smirk.
“Did your parents know that you’re in Paris?” I asked.
“They don’t know and they can never find out” he replied.
“The lady I beat up at my restaurant, she’s your ex-girlfriend right?” I asked and he nod his head.
“Did she know you’re from a rich family?” I asked because she said he should come and work in his restaurant.
“She doesn’t, she cheated on me because she felt I’m poor and I always tried my possible best to satisfy her and take care of her needs, even when I don’t want her to know that I’m rich, I make sure I spent all my salary on her.” He replied.
“Oh you’re so good at keeping secrets,” I said. “I did that to find true love,” he said.
“You’ll soon find one you’re a good guy” I replied.
“Yeah, I’ve already found one and that’s you!” He replied with a smile.
“Keep dreaming my dear” I replied and he stood up immediately and moved closer to me. “What are you trying to do?” I asked.
“Watch me!” He replied with a smile.
“Brittany someone is here to see you?” Nadia said. “Who’s that?” Brittle asked.
“I don’t know the person covered herself with a hoodie and I figure out she’s a lady,” Nadia said.
“By this time of the day,” Brittany said yawing loudly. “You should go check the person, and I brought this for you,” Nadia said and gave her a bag.
“Thanks to your boyfriend, because I won’t thank you,” Brittany said.
“Really? Don’t expect anything from me ever again” Nadia said with a frown. “Don’t tell me you’re jèàlóûs of your boyfriend?” Brittany asked. “Whatever!’ Nadia replied.
“Let me go and check the person,” Brittany said with a smile and drop the bad carefully on her bed before walking out of the room. “Alright I’ll be in my room” Nadia said.
