EMMA AND DRAKEN'S HOME
"Play with me..."
"Do whatever you want with me..."
Emma abruptly woke up from her sleep....like she'd had a nightmare. The moment she got the flashbacks of what had happened the previous night, her face flashed red due to embarrassment.
It was no nightmare, it was reality.
She seduced her husband while drunk...
Her body was still number and naked under those sheets.
"You're finally awake.....my wife"Draken was already out of bed.... wearing nothing but a bathrobe.
"Take this, it'll help with the hangover"He gave her the hangover medicine to take.
"What happened last night?"Emma pretended not to remember.
"Oh! You don't remember, should I give you a short reminder?"Draken asked, more like teasing her.
Unlike Emma who was playful when drunk, Draken was the opposite....he was playful when in normal state.
He pinned her on the bed and went shamelessly went on top of her.
"What are you trying to do Draken?"Emma asked, shivering beneath him.
"Giving you a reminder, what else"Draken replied leaning in to kiss her.
"I remember, I remember....don't do it please!"Emma covered her face with her hands.
What a horrible liar!
Draken laughed at her naivety.
"This isn't funny, I was drunk!"Emma snapped at him.
"That's why you're not allowed to drink unless it's with me, you get crazy when you're drunk"Draken replied.
Emma stared at the man before her, when was the last time they ever spent a morning like this....
If he didn't get up early to leave for work...he was always busy with something else.
Draken Hunt, the business man.....always busy.
Now that they were both leading their own companies....they'd both be busy before their honeymoon.
Just this once, she would enjoy her husband's morning presence like before.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him close.
"I missed this" she whispered.
"Can we stay like this for a little while longer, I miss my husband's warmth"Emma's voice was soft.
She wanted him to hold her like before....sleep in his arms like she used to.
"I'll do what you want, I'll stay a bit longer with you"Draken kissed her forehead and lay down beside her.... pulling her small delicate body close to his.
Holding her like she wanted.... running his fingers through her hair.... taking in her scent.
This belonged only to him, only and only him.
He had a tight schedule....but nothing came before his wife's simple request. She was his top priority.
Everything else could wait but not his wife.
"Draken, do you think that the news reporters found out about the fire?"Emma softly asked.
"It must have, we burnt the whole place"Draken replied.
"Will they come after us.....that woman and her husband?"Emma continued to ask.
"Those two shouldn't scare you....they can't do anything to you"Draken tightened his grip around her waist.
"I'm not afraid of them, I'm afraid that you might get dragged into this mess..... I don't want that to happen, only I should suffer the consequences"Emma said.
Even at a time like that, she worried more about him than herself.
"Emma, you weren't the only one who started that fire, I was involved too. I'd rather it be me, than you"Draken replied.
"No, I don't want you to take the blame for me...you should be safe from all this"Emma sadly said.
Her eyes became teary. Her emotions betrayed her, even when she didn't want to cry.....she found herself crying uncontrollably.
"Emma, just trust your husband..... we'll both get out of this together" Draken wiped his wife's tears.
"Just think about where you want to go on our honeymoon..... wherever it is, we'll go together"
He wasn't afraid of anything.....after all, someone else could take the blame.
His wife's name wasn't going to be involved anywhere in this issue.
EMMA...
After that morning conversation with Draken, we had breakfast together....before he had to leave for his urgent work.
"I'll be home early so we can have dinner together"
I still remember what he told me while I helped him dress up.
Dinner together.....that's a promise.
He told me not to worry about him, I chose to trust my husband.....he'd get us out of this.
All I have to focus on now is Dave Corp, and my honeymoon which is after two weeks.
Where would I like to go? I've never travelled before....this would be my first time experiencing new things.
I won't mind, as long as it's with Draken...I'll be just fine, I'll be happy.
That's all it needs to be....how it's meant to be.
My head still hurts a bit from the hangover...then I remembered, I wasn't drinking alone last evening.
"Shaun, did you drop off Joyce safely last night?"
Shaun...my excellent bodyguard. He's so good at his duty and loyal to Draken, I wonder sometimes.....how these three men are so close and loyal to each other.
What's their secret to such a strong bond?
"You don't have to worry, she got home safe..."Shaun's cold voice.
Come to think of it, Draken's voice was like that when we first talked at the hospital.
They're alike, but my husband is way better ofcourse.
"Shaun tell me, how did you become so close and loyal to my husband? What's the story behind it?"I asked from the back seat of my car as he drove me to work.
I needed to know.
"The boss and I met abroad when we were abandoned Mrs Emma. He saved my life and we went through so much together....because of that, I made a promise to myself, that I'd always protect him and the people he loves dearly"Shaun replied.
Draken must be good at saving people's lives.....no wonder Shaun values him very much.
He's thankful, Draken is a saint in his eyes.
How adorable!
Meanwhile....
A secluded area...
"All the CCTV footage within and outside the residence has been erased boss....no one will trace this back to you and the boss lady"Erick reported to his boss.
"Good work Erick.....did you do what I asked you to do?"Draken asked.
The secluded area he was in.....he was practicing his shooting at a distance skills.
"Boss, you were right, the DNA test between the samples you gave me wasn't a match... Samantha Dave is not Martin Dave's biological daughter" Erick replied.
Draken couldn't help but laugh.
"That darn woman, how many secrets is she hiding from us?"
His anticipation about Sam was right, she wasn't related to the Daves by blood....no wonder there wasn't any close resemblance with the Dave's bloodline.
On the long line of Dave descendants, they all had pretty brown hair and same color of eyes...just like Emma's and her father's but Sam was a pure black haired girl with a other color of her eyes.
Was Martin Dave just a fool blinded by love that he couldn't see the truth? Or was it he did and still chose to act that way....
There he was treasuring the daughter of another man while making his own suffer...
What a pathetic joke that was!
"Boss, what should we do with this news, it will surely end that family" Erick said.
"Erick, let's not rush things..... with that woman's list of bad deeds I have, she'll have nowhere to escape to, she'll do whatever I want" Draken aimed at his target and shot.
Sera Dave was on her way to meet him secretly again.
What was he going to ask her to do this time?
"Sir, your guest has arrived"his security personnel informed him.
"Let her in"Draken replied.
"Why did you call me this time, I already did what you wanted"Sera said, as soon as she reached him.
"Mrs Dave, easy on the words....and treat me with respect....I'm not your servant"Draken coldly replied.
"Yes, I apologize President Hunt"Sera said.
"Mrs Dave, who is Sam's biological father?"Draken asked, still aiming at his target and shooting.
"B... biological father?"Sera was almost speechless.
What nonsense!
"Yes, did you think I'll never find out"Draken said.
"President Hunt, you really are capable...you even found out that secret!"Sera replied.
"My my, I'm very capable Mrs Dave.....and it you're hiding more, I'll find out every damn single thing"Draken turned to face her.
"Please, what do you want me to do so you won't tell anyone"Sera pleaded.
"On your knees"Draken ordered.
"Don't make me say it again"He added.
The helpless woman before him had no choice but to kneel.
"I burnt down the Dave Mansion....but my wife worries so much about me and thinks I'll get into trouble, so Mrs Dave.....why don't you take the blame?"Draken coldly said.
"President Hunt....please"Sera begged.
"You won't go to jail for it, it's not like I'm asking you to turn yourself in for gambling!"Draken said.
She was a hopeless case.
"Think of it like we're playing the good cop and bad cop, you'll be the bad cop I'll be the good cop, will you agree or will you just die here today!"Draken pointed the gun he was holding at her.... without even flinching.
Ready to pull the trigger at any moment.
"I'm not a very patient man so do it quickly!"Draken didn't give her any other choice.
More armed men were surrounding the place....
She messed with the wrong person.
"I'll do it, I'll take the blame.....I'll do whatever you want"Sera replied.
And Draken smirked....this woman really was pathetic.
