Emily’s Dilemma: Seduced by Billionaire Brothers

Emily stared in shock at the woman seated before her after they had found their way to an empty looking Cafe around the corner.

Alyssa looked almost unbothered, taking bites out of her cheesecake while she waited for Emily to process her shock, nervous hands and earth eyes.

“I told you I was going to tell you the truth and nothing but the truth and I apologize for the theatrics I displayed while trying to talk to you, I was nervous and I wasn’t sure if you wanted to talk to me”

“Also I have a bit of flair for the dramatics” she added.

Emily nodded even though this woman looked like someone that had never been nervous in her life. She stayed silent waiting for her to speak more even though she wasn’t sure she might be able to handle the whole truth, but she stayed still, rigid even and unable to move.

“Your father, Darren was the love of my life and the only man I have ever loved and hated equally. He was everything to me. Do you remember him?” She asked and Emily shook her head

“Not so much”

Alyssa chuckled.

“As expected” she nodded ” I don’t expect you to”

“What happened?” Emily asked

“He changed, he wasn’t the same person anymore. He dealt with things and demons I couldn’t understand and he wouldn’t let me in, he would get angry at the slightest provocation. Then he started drinking and it only got worse from there” Alyssa faltered now but she managed to keep her composure, her eyes now staring straight ahead instead of Emily’s face. She closed her eyes and opened them again.

“He hurt me” she said “Countless times but how could I know any better especially when I had you. I wanted him to change, to seek therapy and deal with his problems so that you could grow and see him for the good man he actually is but Emily dear, each day was worse than the last”

Emily stayed silent

“Some days were good, he was kind and he loved you so much but it wasn’t enough when he tried to hurt me every other day”

“Do you know the reason why you can’t remember anything from your childhood” Alyssa asked and Emily shook her head in response.

“We got in a fight one night and you unknowingly walked in the room just the same time he was throwing thermos water can and it hit you in the head”

“So was that why you killed him?”

*********************************

Ethan Hatton sat in his large office that overlooked the city’s view engrossed in his work when his mind slowly drifted to Emily. The disappointment on her face when he walked in drunk into the room. Somehow it caused him to ache, he had gone to the bar for a few drinks to release the building tension that was building up in him. The meeting had went well and the investors had already started pulling their funds but Jackson, Jackson had successfully sowed seeds of doubt in the minds of the investors and it bothered him to ends. Apart from his younger brother having the most shares in the company, it was too much power for him and knowing Jackson he was going to abuse it.

But somehow, at the back of his mind he wanted to make Emily happy, to be a good husband to her but how could he do that with the threat of his past mistakes hovering over his head in the shape and form of Anita James. Maybe he was unconsciously doing everything possible to make Emily hate him and leave him, but it was difficult when her innocent eyes penetrated his, forcing and bringing out the goodness he did not convey within him.

His thoughts were brutally interrupted when his assistant Jeremy walked in, peaking his head through the large ornate door.

“Anita’s here” he announced and Ethan let out a sigh, rubbing his temples in tiredness. It was barely 12 yet but he was already exhausted and most definitely needed a drink.

Anita walked in into his office, one leg in front of the other and her feminine perfume filling the room as she approached. She didn’t seat on the chair opposite him but rather walked to where his sat, placing herself comfortable atop the table in front and exposing her bare legs in her black leather mini skirt.

“You’ve been avoiding me” she said simply,

“I’ve been busy as you can see” he gestured to the files and paper littered over the table

“Or with your new wife” she said instead, her voice laced with venom, then she tipped his chin up with a finger looking straight into his eyes.

“I can’t let you go Ethan, I’m not throwing three years away just like that”

“Then what would you have me do?” He asked her

“I can’t leave Emily, it’ll be a scandal. I can’t ruin my company like that. You should’ve said yes when I proposed to you”

Anita sighed, getting up from the table and walking to the chair place opposite side of Ethan, she sat with her legs crossed, her siren eyes seductive and evil.

“I figured” she said “Your company, your so called company, that’s all you ever care about”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Ethan stayed silent, watching her.

“Well I won’t bother you anymore Ethan” Anita said and Ethan’s ears perked up, his eyes gleeful but she wasn’t done.

“But on one condition” she continued, she stared the air thick with anticipation as she made her anticipation.

“Spend one more night with me” she said “Spend one night with me and I won’t bother you anymore”
