Unable to take it anymore, I grabbed my phone and dialed Emily’s number.
We had a one night stand and she doesn’t give a damn about it. It’s not like I’m being emotional or sentimental over that. I had flings and girls before but Emily’s different. Maybe it was her eyes. Maybe I wanna see how those eyes can smile and show tenderness instead of hatred. I’m curious about how those eyes would look like if it’s full of life, not dull and empty.
“Tss!” I hissed when the first call ended without her answering. Annoyed, I tried it again and again…and again until I heard her annoyed voice.
[If a person didn’t answer your call twice, don’t call for the third time. That’s rude!]
I clenched my jaws. “You’re the one who’s rude. Are you avoiding me?”
She laughed sarcastically, making me even more irritated. [Yes]
“Why?!” I growled.
[Jesus! If it isn’t obvious, I’m avoiding cause I don’t like you.]
I
“You don’t like me? Then the hell did you sleep with me?”
[I sleep with every hot man who is interested, Matt. Don’t feel special.]
I balled my fists as my eyes sharpened. “No, Emily. Not after you tasted me. I’ll make sure you can no

longer kiss another man. I will make sure of that!”
I feel so angry. Our conversation continued and I feel like she’s intently making me angry. I don’t know but with her, I feel like I’m losing control.
I went back beside Mason after Emily dropped the call. He’s now sitting on the bar, drinking whiskey.
“You seem pretty angry. Woman? Who is it?” Mason asked without lifting his face to look at me.
I gritted my teeth and pouted whiskey on an empty glass. I have no intention of answering him.
Mason chuckled. “I hope it’s not a serious case. Women will only ruin you.”
I shook my head and pressed my lips together. I understand him but I don’t want my experiences or any circumstances to ruin me.
“Mason…”
“If you want any advice, I won’t talk to you, brother.”
I hissed. “I just wanna know if you’re interested in managing the family business once dad won against Kelly.”
Mason looked at me and smirked. “Brother, I have no idea about managing a business. Between the two of us, you’re the prodigy. So if there’s someone who deserves the position aside from dad, it’s you.”
Shaking my head, I chuckled. “I’m not into business, Mason.”
He smirked. “I don’t understand why you studied psychology when you’re so good at business.”
I just grinned and gulped my drinks
ant to tell Mason, but I couldn’t bring myself to even mention al
thing about it. Maybe soon and I hope he’ll understand,
***Kelly’s POV
“Daddy!” Snow screamed when a wild wave ruined the sand castle they’re making.
Pierce laughed hard and carried our little Snow, frowning so bad.
“Daddy, the waves are mean!”
Pierce chuckled and put her down, away from the shore. “Let’s build the castle here instead.”
“But we already started!”
“Let’s just do it again. Bigger this time.”
“Really?” Snow seemed so excited as she sat on the sand.
My smile couldn’t be wiped off while watching them. I was sitting on the sun lounger when someone sat beside me.
“Hey!” I smiled at Emily.
She sighed and lay on the sun lounger, looking so annoyed.
I chuckled. “He called again?”
She lifted her sunglasses only to show me how she rolled her eyes, making me laugh again.
“God, Kelly! Your cousin is so persistent. He called five times today. I’m so annoyed! How come he couldn’t forget the night we spent together? Was he a virgin when we fcked?”
