Chapter 19 - Crisis between the Hunts and the Daves

"How would you feel if the woman you loved confessed that she loved another close relative of yours, like a little brother for example.

~~~~~

David stood in shock after Samantha rejected him in front of the entire city.

"No no! Why Samantha, we'd planned this already..." David tried to say but she cut him off.

"We?? You planned this all by yourself, how many times did I tell you I didn't want to marry you and don't love you..but you kept on persisting" Sam replied almost crying.

Their moms tried to fix the situation, but it was now out of hand, the news had already reached the media, it was too late.

"I love Draken...and he's the one I want to marry, you're so pathetic." Samantha didn't care anymore.

She threw away the bouquet of flowers she held in her hands and ran away from there, leaving behind a broken David.

He'd got rid of his brother to get her, but that didn't work either....what did he have to do to win over her?

A crisis between the Hunts and the Daves had begun because of one person, Samantha.

~~~~~~

Meanwhile, Emma woke up with a hangover, her head hurt like crazy luckily....Draken was around.

"Take this and you'll feel better!" He handed her hangover pills to take with a glass of water.

"Thank you!" She replied before taking them.

Draken was in extremely a good mood after she'd called him husband for the first time last night.

"What... happened?" Emma asked, noticing how happy he was staring at her.

"I suppose....you don't remember what happened last night?" He asked....

What happened last night?

"Should I refresh your memory?" Draken asked moving his face closer to her.... implying he should kiss her to make her remember.

In an instant.... Emma recalled what she'd said last night to him.

She called him husband.

" I remember... ." She replied, turning her face away from his.

"Can you call me what you called me last night?" Draken hopefully asked.

"Husband" she whispered on her first try.

"What did you say, I didn't catch that" Draken teased her so she could say it louder.

"Husband!!" She finally said it louder, turning to face him and their eyes locked.

His icy blue eyes were shining like a bright star, whenever he looked at Emma...

"Emma, I want to tell you something...." Draken softly said.

He planned to tell her, he loved her.

"What is it?" She asked, her voice matching his.

"I...." Before he could complete his sentence, his phone rang.

Erick was calling...

It could be important

He'd asked them to keep an eye on the wedding.... something wrong must have happened.

"I have to take this" he told her before he stood up and headed out of the room.

"Talk...."

"Boss, we have a problem. Sam called off the wedding and this news is viral... Ouracle is in a crisis right now ..boss, you need to come back , Ouracle needs you" Erick reported.

Returning to Ouracle would mean he had to leave Emma for sometime and he didn't want to do that. ..but Ouracle was also important to him...what was he going to do?

He hung up the phone without replying to him. If he was going to leave, he needed to spend more time with Emma and confess his feelings before it was too late.

Emma took a shower after her hangover wore off and she was able to walk normally.

She vowed never to touch a bottle of alcohol again in this life.

"You don't have to go to work today ..I asked your boss to let you have a day off" Draken said entering the room again.

After what happened yesterday, Draken knew she'd be traumatized.

"Thank you" she softly replied.

"Don't you think I deserve something better in return than a thank you" Draken playfully said, hugging her from behind.

This man

"Ok....ask anything you want from me" Emma replied,

If he asked her to go back with him as Draken Hunt's wife, would she accept?

The words always failed to come out from his mouth.

"Is there something you're hiding from me?" Emma asked.. she could feel there was something he wasn't telling her.

"I'm not hiding anything from you wife...I just want to hold you like this"

It could be the last time

He wanted to take in her scent..

"You've failed to tell me what you want" Emma said.

"Fine, let's make breakfast together." He replied before they set out for the kitchen.

He helped her put on her apron and she helped him put on his too. The whole house with filled with things that belonged to only the two of them...with their names engraved on them.

They made their breakfast together, helping each other out..they were happy. They had the whole day to themselves.

Emma set up the breakfast table while Draken cleaned the dishes.

Emma's phone rang and the caller ID left her dumbstruck.

"You brat! This was your doing wasn't it?" Her step mother's sounded from the other side of the line.

"What are you talking about?" She asked.

"Sam called off her wedding, did you influence her to do it?" She yelled.

Called off?

"I didn't even know anything about it, she didn't invite me to her wedding" Emma tried to say but the woman was clearly blaming her.

Draken heard her conversation and knew what it was all about.

"Aunt, it doesn't concern me if she never got married, blame yourself and your upbringing" Emma said before she hung up and blocked her contact immediately.

"What happened?" Draken pretended to ask

"It's my stepmom, Sam called off her wedding and she's blaming me for it!" Emma replied clearly pissed.

"Don't let her stress you out, forget that she ever even called" Draken said... holding her face with his hands.

"I wouldn't know what to do without you... don't ever leave me ok?" Emma replied..resting her head on him.

As if she knew he was going to leave her soon.

" Emma, even if I'm not around... always remember that I'll always come to you when you need me"

"What do you mean when you're not around?...Are you planning on leaving me!!" Emma suddenly pointed out... leaving Draken speechless.
