Simon had stepped out of the corner diner to take a call and he would step right back in after a cigarette.
He was obviously stunned when he saw her and those alluring eyes of his narrowed as he looked slightly dazed.
Knowing the enmity between them, Emily had no choice. She rushed towards him, crying for help, "Bad people are chasing after me! HELP!"
"HELP ME, YOU SCU—" She began to realized "Scumbag..." After she blurted out, there was something wrong with her consciousness and she quickly changed her words. "Well, I mean, handsome guy, do you have any place for me to hide? We are all from Ice city, and we help out when we go out! I just went undercover and was caught by someone accidentally. Now they are chasing after me to rob the camera. If I am caught by them, they will definitely tear me into pieces..."
Simon casually exhaled a mouthful of fumes and coldly say, "No can do."
"You-"
It was all Emily could do to prevent herself from spitting a mouthful of saliva at him in disgust.
She thrust a finger angrily and stomped her feet. But it was understandable; the last time, she had mounted a police sting operation that saw him arrested by the Anti Vice unit. He must really hate him so much and she must have been a fool too to ask!
Eager to not waste any more time, she was about to continue running.
As soon as she began bolting, a hand grabbed at her and she lashed out, livid, "Hey! What are you doing!"
His hand wrapped around her wrist, Simon has a faint smile curling on his face and a dark look in those charming eyes of his, "Perhaps it's time to settle our debt."
Emily opened her eyes wide.
"You son of a b*tch!"
She knew that he would not be so kind as to let her go! He was pleased to just go with the flow and allow her to be caught and get torn into pieces!
Emily struggled to break free, but his big hand held her in a vice-like grip. No matter how she tried, she just couldn't get free and the men would be rounding the corner to catch up to her any moment!
"She's right up ahead! QUICK! She cannot run! We must teach her a lesson!"
"Well see how I deal with her when I catch her!"
Beads of sweat rolled down the side of her face and she could hear them; those men are coming near.
Emily was so anxious that she felt a knot in her throat. But there she was in a dead-end; the scum is restraining her while waiting for her pursuers to catch up. He would cause enough ruckus to attract them this way...
"Ah ah ah, what should I do?"
Biting hard, she hung the strap of her camera over her neck and stuffed it into her jacket to hide it, then she pressed herself into him.
Then she raised an arm and coiled it around his neck and stood on her toes and mashed her lips into his.
The smell of fresh cigarettes permeated her lips and teeth as Emily did her best to nestle herself into his arms and use his wide and thick back to provide cover for herself, trying to create the image of a couple kissing each other so that she could evade the notice of her pursuers.
There was no other way; or she would have kissed a pig before kissing this scum!
She could not dare relax and Emily could not let go in fear of being spotted by the footsteps that were coming near.
Suddenly, her eyes shot wide.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
