A Chance Emily's

POV

"So you're investigating your own family?" I asked, pretending that I didn't know. I'm lying on the bed, naked under the sheets. Matt Foster is beside me, playing with my hair.

"Yes," he breathed out. "I had no choice. You said I should investigate to prove Kelly that she's wrong, but I'm proving myself wrong, Em. My father was involved in her mom's death. I'm sure of that."

I shot an eyebrow up. "You don't even have a proof."

"No concrete evidence, but I heard him twice talking to someone about certain documents that could be used as evidence against him."

"So you believe, your father, a perfect man in your eyes, was a murderer?"

"I don't know."

I can see it in his eyes. He's having a hard time accepting what happened. It breaks his heart discovering how evil his father could be. It was the same heartbreak I felt when I realized my father was involved in some syndicate. I can't accept it. I can't accept that the money he used to raise me and give me education was from illegal doings.

"What are you planning? You'll report him?"

"I have to, Emily. That's the right thing to do."

"What about your twin? Will he do the same?"

"He will do the opposite, Emily. He believed in our father so much."

He insisted on having a relationship. I don't have feelings for him. Yes, he satisfies me in bed. I like his kisses. I like his touch. I like how he makes me excited whenever we get physical. But is that enough to enter into a relationship with him? I admit I'm afraid to trust again. I admit, I've developed a trauma because of what happened to me in the past. I don't wanna trust him.

I felt his hand caressing my bare shoulders and suddenly, I didn't like it. So to avoid his touch, I got off the bed, completely naked and wore my robe. I even grabbed a stick of cigarette and lit it. "Do you smoke all the time?"

Slowly, I faced him and smirked. "Why? You don't like women who smoke? It's okay. Let's break up." His brow shot up as he looked at me. "You think I'll Let you go because of that stupid reason?

I scoffed. "Why do you even want to have me as your girlfriend?"

"I already answered your question, Emily. I told you I like you."

""That's not enough."

"That's enough because I know it will grow more." "What?"

He got off the bed and walked around naked. My gaze landed on his buttocks and my brow shot up. "If you don't want to believe me, then it's alright. I just want you to stay with me and try this relationship. You're bored, anyway. So if you want to ease your boredom, just call me
