His secretary

Chapter 2

Cain's POV

After dropping my secretary off at her place, I went to my penthouse. The whole ride, she sat there clinging to her seatbelt, I get it, she was scared out of her wits! And that's because I had given her every reason to be.

The very sight of her enraged me. Let's just say her continued stay in Power corp was unwelcome and detested.

Why didn't I fire her, you ask? My uncle, Benson Flores Powers had arranged for her to become my secretary all of a sudden after dad's death. He explained it to me that she was the famous, Emma Millers that saved my dad, Xavier Powers, from a bullet aimed right for his chest.

From the way uncle Ben talked about her, I could tell he liked her alot like his own daughter. Dad too had also fallen for the woman's charms, he never stopped telling us all about her strategic plans for the company and that one day he'd make her his legal advisor to help him in running the business.

That made me hurt, to think I had pursued Business and Commerce in Yale just to follow in his footsteps and he never acknowledged it, all for what?

A woman?! A woman who had just charged him bravely from an incoming bullet, I'd gladly take bullets for him if that's what it took for him to be proud of me.

Even in his last moment , he only permitted her to see him,no one else ,not even my mom, Victoria Powers.The rest seemed fine with it, they all acknowledged Emma Millers as an angel who had given dad a second chance in life.

When he finally departed we all grieved for him for months and life went on.

That's until Emma Millers came back into my life this time as my secretary and this was my chance to study her,see what she had that absolutely everyone I knew you, liked and admired her much.

It's been two years and my opinion about her hasn't changed, just a woman like any other!

Even as she sits there,staring out of the car's window, I feel no remorse for anything i had said or done to her for the last two years cause she was a gold digger who took advantage of my dad's kindness to her advantage.

One year ago I had told Franco, my private investigator to dig in on her past.

"Sir, this woman has got alot in her past just like you suspected. Turns out she was married to a Mr Cole Jones, due to some marital conflicts she left him and years later her husband mysteriously dies and her best friend Preston Collins , is put behind bars for 10 years for Cole's murder . She has two brothers, Ace Millers and John Millers and her mom, Karen Millers ,her father died when she was fifteen years old after suffering from a mild stroke.

Here it turns out that your dad gave her one of your mansions in Los Angeles and used to pay her a lot of money every month!

See as I said she was a conniving b***h, I wouldn't be surprised if she killed her husband herself and was behind dad's ambush in California.

Emma's POV

A tall white figure in a hood appeared in front of me. A ghost? No ,it couldn't be.I thought , trying to keep myself composed. I forgot all about my aching body and gaped with my mouth open as well as my eyes. The figure began to glide slowly towards me and in spite of all my efforts , I couldn't move.

I was rooted to the spot, my body trembling,and a cold sweat was running down my face. My mouth was so dry that I couldn't utter a single sound.

Nearer and nearer it came, and suddenly I was running to the door. Alas!It was locked. I tried to kick it open with my bleeding feet and banged on it with my swollen fists but it was too strong for me to break through.

At last, after what seemed an eternity , I felt cold, hard fingers clenching my neck and I let out a scream of desperation,"Cole...please don't do this...please...

I woke up suddenly to see my mother at my bedside trying to soothe me,"Come down,Em...it's just a dream."as she stroked my hair.

Not just any dream, it was the same nightmare I kept having for the last six years. Minutes later, Ace ,my younger brother , brought a glass of water.

They all knew my situation and had supported me without me a doubt. Cole, had made my life a living hell, the very thought of him made me shiver and tremble, he was my past that I wanted to forget and move on.

But how could I, when he kept haunting me in my dreams, I can't recall the last time I had proper sleep.
