The car ride to Nicolas's apartment was awkward and short lived, neither person could get out of the car fast enough. "thank you Nico, for picking us up and allowing us to stay at your apartment" Emily said as Cristina jumped out the car and headed to the front door.

Before she could see where he was, she felt him behind her. He smelled like musk and earth, this scent was like a drug and she was intoxicated by it - his breath warmed her neck and earlobe as he spoke "anytime, Mi amor" he whispered. Nicolas Scott was one of the most gorgeous men she's ever seen. He was tall and muscler, he perfectly cut jaw and his green eyes were tantalizing, he's chestnut hair was cut short but he looked handsome either way. He stole her breath away each time he walked by. She didn't realize she was lagging behind until she saw his broad shoulders walking in front of her...

Morning came and the night before was a blur, unpacking bags and getting Cristina ready for her first day was hard, by the time Nicolas came back from dropping Cristina, Emily had only started on her first cup of coffee. "she was not excited with going to school, she practically beg me to bring her back. She even threatened to call the police". Emily busted into fits of laughter, "she didn't..." Nicolas shooed his head as he said "oh, she did. She's as dramatic as you were when I first brought you home to my hotel in London. Except for the fact that you threw me with a vase, and hit me with a poker", Emily couldn't contain her laughter then. She was so young when she met him and she was Seven months pregnant with another man's baby. Sixteen and pregnant in a foreign country with a seventeen year old self-made billionaire who wouldn't feel out of place. "- as I was saying, I ran into Lukas Grayson this morning dropping off his ten year old, can you believe strikes up a conversation with me? He wants to do some business together if only he knew I am the chair person of the board and his only the CEO. I own 55% of his company and he doesn't even know it - sorry Ems, I forgot you don't know who Lukas gr-" before he could finish she bursted into tears, he hasn't seen her cry like this since the day she gave birth. His seen her cry for romance movies and sick animals but never out of the blue, just as he was about to ask her what's wrong she said the words broke him into a million pieces. "of course I know him Nicolas, he's Christina's father. I was fourteen when I met him at a boarding school here in Seattle, and I instantly fell in love. He was my everything until one day his sister dies and he just leaves. I didn't know I was pregnant until Andrew fell sick - oh my gosh, did he see crissy? Please tell me he didn't see her, please-" the information was to much and he did something he never thought he'd do, he handed her phone an said "call him Emily, it's the right thing to do. He deserves to know he has a beautiful daughter." all she did was stare at the phone in his hand, "aren't you going to something?aren't you going to yell at me for withholding this information?". Nicolas shook he's head "I know you well enough to know that you had your reasons even though I've complained about this guy for years, he gave you crissy and in a strange way he gave me both you. You're my family and family they stick together despite the odds" he said and placed her phone in her hands. "call him, he's number is on my desk in my office. I got a meeting to get too. I'll see you tonight, mi amor." and with that he left.

Here goes nothing.

°°°°Amelia's point of view°°°°

The smell of my husband is the best thing to wake up to, well after the night we had, my body still heats up at the thought. You'd think being married to this man for 10 years would have calmed my inner goddess but, NO. She's still filled with lust, love and sexual energy. About a year and a half ago we'd lost Sam my little peanut thanks to the assassination attempt on my life. I hope James is rotting in hell but the death of my little peanut had brought Lukas and I closer together. I looked a upon the sleeping Gray eyed warrior beside me 'oh, how gorgeous he was made God had taken his time perfecting him' I thought to myself, while I smirk. "Baby, it's creepy when you stare at me like that", he says with a grin forming on his porcelain face.

He leaned in giving me a sweet, yet, passion kiss. His hands slipping between my thighs. My inner goddess jumping for joy. Then the phone broke our magical moment, Lukas's smirk started fading as well. And now he looked pissed, the phone rang again and again until he picked up. "Grayson...Who the fuck -? Oh! sorry. It's been a while - No I'm at home - No I'll be in the office in the next thirty minutes... Yeah sure - Yeah see you then." he had a confused look on his face however it went from confused to sadness, to pain and finally back to confused. He hangs up. He jumps out of bed and starts rushing to the bathroom.

" Who was that?" I called from the bedroom." just someone" he responded. Irritated, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

I woke up to him fully dressed in a navy blue suit, the one he wore when we first met. "Lukas, who was that?" I asked again. He looks at me shakes his head and responds "someone from my past" he says more to himself than me.
