Hi all, I must warn you that this gets a bit M- rated.
"Uh-Oh! Mr. Bond is not going to like it" said Nolan looking at the bunch of flowers.
"We know that Daniel is interested and our plan is on track. Also, this means Daniel knows where I live, he could drop by anytime" Emily said throwing the bunch of roses into a trash can.
Emily rings Aiden. "Hey, are you on your way? Daniel has sent me flowers and that means he knows where I live. So, you may need to use the back entrance when coming in says Emily.
"Sure, baby and I am on my way from the city" said Aiden. When Aiden heard Daniel has sent flowers to the love of his life, he felt a sensation of enviousness. However, he reminded himself that Emily is doing all this as part of their plan to get their daughter back. Thus, he kept quiet.
It was getting dark and Nolan bid fair well to his best friend. He was glad she was back in her life regardless of the current circumstances.
Emily made something to eat and sat on the porch reminiscing about the days when she played with her father on the beach. She wondered if Aiden will ever get to play with his daughter. A sensation of apprehension just rushed through her. She brushed off the feeling and went upstairs to change.
When she opened her suitcase, baby Colleen's teddy bear fell off her suitcase. She picked it and sat on the bed hugging the toy close to her heart, dreaming about their daughter.
An hour or more later, Aiden arrived in his Porche and parked it in the back as Emily instructed. He enters the house and finds Emily fallen a sleep craddling their baby's teddy bear. He could see that her eyes were swollen. A combination of immense sadness and frustration, due to him being powerless to get their daughter back, surges through him.
He removes his cloths then crashes on the bed, nestling Emily tightly.
Next morning, the sunlight was bouncing on their bodies. Aiden wakes up to a sound of a text message. The text is sent via a blocked number. Message reads "Here's some motivation for you, until next time" and there is a video clip on the text.
Immediately, he wakes Emily up. They watched the clip with trepidation. It's a clip of their little "Dot" in a crib, laughing and playing with some soft toys. Instantly, Emily breaks into a river of tears. Aiden enfolds Emily tightly. They watch the clip numerous times, longing for their baby girl. They want to hold her and kiss her desperately. Only consolation is that she is still alive. Emily and Aiden are even more motivated to get the mission completed sooner and get their baby back. "Aiden I missed her so much. I would give anything to have her back in our arms" says Emily with despair. "I know, baby I know, I miss her like crazy too. I promise I will hunt down the person who did this to our child" says Aiden wiping her tears away.
It was evening and Aiden was downstairs already dressed up in his black tux for the Gala, reading profiles on each Board member of Grayson Global.
Just then Emily walks down wearing the figure-hugging long red Dior dress she purchased with Nolan. Aiden's jaw drops at the magnificent sight. Emily is a vision.
Aiden moves closer to Emily. "Amanda, you look divine, but I am sad it's all for another man" Aiden says while wrapping his hands around her waist possessively.
Emily touches his cheek. "No! it's for our daughter" You will get to enjoy all this when we get home tonight" Emily whispers to Aiden's ear. Aiden kisses Emily just knowing what she is implying.
"Ah, I forgot to tell you that Daniel wants to introduce me to Conrad's Executive Assistant Ashley tonight. She is British too. I guess it won't hurt to have another link to the Grayson's" says Aiden trying to read the expression on Emily's face.
"Ashley ha? Really? Do we need another link to the Grayson's? Emily says trying to hide the feeling of jealousy she is experiencing.
"Like you said, it's for our daughter. I would say someone is a tad bit jealous" says Aiden smirking.
Just then, they can hear someone clearing his throat behind them.
"Mr. & Mrs. Smith! Hope I am not interrupting anything! I am here for my plus one" says Nolan cheekily.
"Hey Nolan, you look dapper as always buddy" Aiden compliments Nolan.
"Right at you Mr. Bond. I could be your Q tonight. Here! you two wear these ear pieces, so we can communicate with each other" says Nolan handing them the gadgets.
Nolan drives Emily to the Gala while Aiden goes on his own.
The Grayson manor was specially spectacular tonight. As soon as Emily and Nolan enters the Manor, Daniel spots them and immediately rushes towards the guest he has been waiting for impatiently. Daniel is blown away by her sight. She is breathtaking. Daniel places a kiss on Emily cheek. This doesn't go amiss by Aiden who has arrived to the Gala earlier.
"Emily, I am glad you made it and you look beautiful" Daniel compliments her.
"Thanks for having us here and thanks for the flowers"
"Come, let's go get a drink" Daniel says now escorting Emily on his arm.
Daniel and Emily chats while Nolan mingles with the other guest. In the periphery, Emily could see Ashely touching Aiden's arm flirtatiously. She felt a sensation of envy surge through her, but she controlled it by focusing her attention back on Daniel. She reminded herself they are on a mission together.
After awhile, a man approached them. It's no other than Aiden.
"Hey Mathis, I would like to introduce you to Ms. Emily Thorn" said Daniel. "It's a pleasure to meet you Emily, I am Aiden" aiden extended his hand. "Pleasure is all mine. "What brings to the Hampton's? Ms Thorn?" Emily and Aiden both smirked at each other knowing they are anything but strangers.
Before Emily could answer, Daniel interrupted. "Excuse us Mathis, I would like to introduce Emily to a very special person to me. Please enjoy" Daniel dragged Emily towards a young girl.
"Emily, meet my little sis Charlotte" Daniel introduced.
The two girl exchanged pleasantries then they were interrupted by a man no other than Conrad Grayson.
Emily was shaken by this encounter. The man who sent her beloved father to prison for twenty years is in her presence, in the flesh.
"Is this Emily, who captured my son's attention lately? I am Conrad, it's nice to meet you Emily" Conrad extends a hand. A feeling of animosity trickles through her, but she manages to hide her feelings and focuses her attention on her mission.
"Enough of the introductions, I am going to steal Emily. Let's go dance Emily" Daniel whisks Emily to the dance floor.
All eyes are on Daniel and Emily now. Specially, a stare of one particular man, her man Aiden. Emily knew that Aiden was a hugely jealous type. His stare could burn a hole on her back. When the song finished Daniel offered to give her a tour of the Manor.
Daniel takes Emily to Conrad's office and gets a security card from his wallet, then slides it to open the door.
"Emily, I brought you here to talk to you in private. Since I met you, I haven't been able to stop thinking about you" says Daniel getting awfully close to Emily. Just then, Emily spots a box which reads "197". Instincts tells Emily this is link to flight 197 somehow. Suddenly, Emily is startled by a kiss on her lips. Daniel kisses Emily passionately. She felt a bit guilty as she enjoyed the kiss.
"Will you go on a date with me tomorrow? Daniel asked. Emily nodded as she is motived to get that security key from Daniel's wallet.
All the while, aiden was listening to the whole conversation and heavy breathing. He prompts Emily, via the ear piece, to join him in the powder room.
"Daniel, please excuse me, I need to use the powder room" Emily leaves the office.
Emily opens the door to the Powder Room to find a frantically spacing Aiden. He seems agitated.
"What's up? Emily asks locking the door behind, approaching Aiden.
"What's up? Aiden snaps. "I didn't know you are going to physically get close to the enemy. I thought you would fascinate him with your charms just enough to get the mission completed" aiden yelled.
What's wrong with you? I told you once that I would do anything to get our daughter back, even it means sleeping with the enemy" Emily snapped back.
Aiden is now looming over her, holding her waist dominantly. They shouted at each other for a few more minutes. Emily knew Aiden was a heavily jealousy man, which ironically turned Emily on. All this screaming turned both of them on. Instantly, aiden held Emily's face and kissed her roughly. She reciprocated.
"I can't wait until we go home to enjoy you. Amanda, I want to be inside you now" Aiden whispered into her ear, breathing heavily.
"I am all yours, take me now Aiden" Emily whispered.
