18 | SCARED EMILY
EDWARD'S POV:
Both Emily and Jason left the room leaving me and Amelia alone. Amelia was gripping her head tightly groaning with pain.
I placed my hand on her forehead and massaged and she relaxed a bit.
"Why didn't you tell me that you had a migraine?" I asked her.
"It's not that big. Nevermind." She said.
"But still, if you had told me I'd have not asked you to stay up the whole night." I said but got no reply.
"Amelia" I called her but she didn't reply.
I looked at her only to see her sleeping. Her nose scrunched up. She might have been stressed a lot from yesterday, part of the reason would be me.
I felt so guilty, I do mistakes again and again and feel guilty over them. I really feel like I don't deserve her but I love her too much to leave her. I know I'm selfish but I can't help it.
I slowly lifted her and placed her on the couch. Even I was tired after yesterday, but we still had a lot of work. The idea was decided but we had to call a model and record it again, so I stepped out of the room.
As I was about to enter my room, I saw a man entering the building. He was nearly 25, tall and blonde. He was arguing with an employee. I approached them.
"Even after denying so many times, he barged inside the building sir." The employee said.
"What do you want?" I asked him.
"Hello sir, I'm John, a friend of Emily and I want to meet her. Please sir, its important." He said.
"Fine but you have to wait for a while, she is having a rest currently." I said and he sat on one of the chairs.
Who was that man? He seemed a little creepy. Should I ask Emily? I went to Jason's room as I knew she would be there, she opened the door and was a little surprised to see me.
"We need to talk Emily?" I said.
"Yes sir, now what happened, did something else happen because of me?" She said sarcastically.
"I'm really very sorry for that Emily, I was just a little stressed out, I know that might not be a good reason but I always lose it when things don't go according to my plan, I hope you forgive me and you can call me Edward from now." I said sincerely.
"Okay, I guess but I hope you don't repeat this in future." She said nonchalantly.
"Yes ma'am." I bowed dramatically for which she chuckled.
"So, I wanted to ask you one thing. Who's that man sitting there?" I asked pointing at that man.
She looked at me and surprisingly dragged me to one corner.
"Shit, h-how did h-he find this place? Oh my god." She stuttered and I could see tears threatening to fall from her eyes.
"What's wrong Emily?" I asked but she didn't answer.
"You have to tell me Emily, so that I can help you." I said shaking her shoulders.
"He is John, he was one of my employees. He was a very funny, jolly and caring person. But all of a sudden, one day, he came to me and asked me to be his girlfriend and I accepted thinking that I like him. But after a while, he started getting toxic and one time, he even slapped me for talking to other guy. I couldn't take all that and I asked him to break up with me but he didn't listen. Then, one day he suddenly accepted and we both broke up.
I thought it was all over, but it was just the start, he left my company and started stalking me everywhere I went. Once, he crashed into my house too and started forcing himself on me. Because of him, I changed my house address." She said shivering in fear.
"From when did it all start?" Suddenly Jason popped out of nowhere. He was listening this whole time.
"It has been a year I guess." She said slightly sobbing.
"Amelia dosen't know about it?" Jason asked.
"No, I didn't tell her. You know how sensitive she is, she will freak out if she gets to know all this. I just didn't wanna burden her by telling all this." She said.
"Then how did you go through this alone? You told no one about it?" Jason asked her.
"I don't know, I didn't want to trouble people by telling all this. At that time, I was so under stress that I couldn't even bring myself to file a complaint and thought that changing my address would be better. But now he got to know about your company also, oh God, h-he is v-very bad Jason, h-he is so sc-scary Jason." She said shivering with fear, washing the tears off her face.
Jason hugged her very tightly. "It's okay Em, I'll take care of that asshole, it'll be fine, I'm there for you, okay? I will help you out so don't worry." He said rubbing his hand on her back calming her down.
"Thank you so much, Jason but we don't have time, our product launch is tomorrow and-" She said and I cut her off by saying
"Don't worry, me and Amelia will take care of it."
I could see Jason filled with rage, he gets angry very rarely but once he gets then his lawyer mode . The most serious Jason you could ever see.
JASON'S POV:
I was so damn angry on that asshole. How dare he make my girl cry? I'm going to make him regret his own existence. Edward looked at us and slowly left the room.
"Come with me." I said pulling her hand slightly.
"No Jason, I don't want to see his creepy face, it gives me nightmares." She said not moving from her place.
"You should face your fears Em, you can't be scared of him forever right? Now come on." I said pulling her again.
"Please Jason." She said.
I held both her hands with mine
"Em, do you trust me?" I asked her looking into her eyes. Everything became silent. I looked into her eyes and she looked into mine.
"Yes Jason I do but I don't trust him. What if you get hurt in this process? I can't afford that." She said and I pulled her face closer to mine.
I placed my lips against forehead. Finally. I felt a sense of relief. Now I know how much I want to protect her and cherish her.
"I promise you I won't get hurt Em, there, I sealed the promise with a kiss" I said with a smile for which she chuckled.
I loved the way she smiled. Damn, I could see it all day.
But now, we had to teach a lesson to that asshead.
