The Broken Angel & Her Overprotective Brothers

As Emily left her office and headed towards the elevator, the clicks of her high heels were the only sound that could be heard in the empty hallway. She was wearing peach-colored pants along with a matching coat over a simple white blouse. Her waist-length dark brown hair was tied in a low ponytail.

She headed downstairs and as soon as she stepped out of the elevator and headed towards the lobby, she noticed the commotion taking place around her. After looking around the area, she finally realized that her employees were excited about something.

Her eyes landed on her assistant who was walking towards her and as soon as the girl approached her, Emily asked her about what was happening by arching both her eyebrows in question.

"Miss Alessandro, someone's waiting for you at the front desk." Her assistant informed her, making Emily curious about the person who had decided to visit her.

As she moved towards the sitting area, she picked up on the familiar presence and immediately knew who it was even before she saw him. No doubt her employees were in a frenzy. 

"You are finally here," Kaiden said as he stood up from his seat and turned to face her as she approached him. The bright smile on his lips and the bouquet of red roses in his hands made him appear like the perfect boyfriend that he was.

"You didn't tell me that you are coming here. How would I have known that you are waiting here? Did you wait long?" Emily asked as she stepped closer but still maintained some distance considering almost all her employees were peeking at them.

"Only for ten minutes or something. Not really a big thing but I think you can make up for it if you are feeling bad. I won't ask you to kiss me in front of your employees but a hug won't hurt, right?" Kaiden whispered the last part as he looked at her with hopeful eyes.

Emily let out a small breath as she accepted the bouquet before placing a quick peck on his cheeks as she whispered, "Thank you for the flowers." 

Before Kaiden's brain could even register what was happening, his Angel had already pulled away at the squeals and claps of her staff who got to witness such a sweet moment.

"That... Can-can I say that it was cheating? Can you do it again?" He couldn't help but hope, knowing fully well that it was just his wish that won't be coming true.

"Don't be greedy," Emily whispered in return before she inhaled the sweet scent of the fresh roses. It's very rare for someone to give her flowers. In her entire life, she had only received flowers a couple of times, and it was the first time she got red roses.

Her attention was pulled back at her mate when she heard him softly clearing his throat before he spoke, "Attention everyone! Thank you very much for your hard work and for taking care of my Angel. To show my gratitude, I'll buy you guys dinner this coming Friday. Hope to spend a fun night with all of you." 

The lobby erupted with cheers and the sound of clapping as everyone become happy at the news. Emily watched as her staff thanked Kaiden and her while smiling as if they had just received bonuses. 

"Let's go," Kaiden said as he finally turned back to face her and offered her one of his hands. 

She turned to bid her goodbye to her staff and reminded them to leave on time before she handed one of her hands into Kaiden's waiting palm and the two of them headed towards the company's gate.

"You are not mad that I promised them a dinner, are you?" Kaiden asked as they headed towards his car that was parked in front of the company building.

"Why would I? It's something that you should do as my boyfriend." Emily replied with a shrug of her shoulders.

Kaiden's lips twitched hearing her response. He quickly moved forward to hold the car door open as she settled down in the passenger seat. After closing the door, he hurried around to get behind the wheel.

"Where are we going?" Emily asked as she looked outside the window and noticed the clouds that had started forming. It was already half-past six in the evening and the day was about to come to an end within an hour or so but due to the dark clouds that were hurriedly taking over the sky, the sun disappeared early.

"To my apartment. I want to cook something nice for you and also to spend some alone time with you. I have informed Shadow and Domenic that I'll drop you home around eleven." Kaiden answered as he drove the car out of the busy street and headed towards the highway.

"That sounds nice," Emily said as she kept her eyes trained on the scenery outside the car that was passing by speedily in a blur.

"What? Me cooking for you or the two of us spending some time alone?" The teasing tone in Kaiden's voice made her chuckle as she shook her head but refused to reply to his absurd question or even look at him.

"Come on, love. Don't hurt my self-confidence like that. Is the outside world more beautiful than this boyfriend of yours?" Kaiden wasn't in the mood of giving up so easily. He stopped the car as they reached a red signal and as he turned his face to look at his woman, he found her looking back at him with a soft smile playing on her lips.

She was too tempting for her own good and he had a limit to which he could resist such a beautiful temptation. Therefore, deciding to not waste such a perfect opportunity, he hurriedly took off his seat belt and pulled the girl into a sweet soft kiss that melted both of them.

It ended just as quickly as it started. Considering that they were still on the road with hundreds of vehicles waiting behind them, it wasn't a good thing to make trouble for everyone. Just as he put back the seat belt, the red signal turned green.

While Kaiden seemed completely normal, Emily was feeling anything but normal. Her lips still tingled with the memory of his lips pressed against them and her heart was still beating rapidly. She turned her face to look at Kaiden and noticed the twitch on his lips. Even though he was looking ahead, she knew that he was aware of her stare.

"Don't feel bad. I promise to finish what I started once we will be at home." He promised when she kept looking at him silently.

Emily opened her mouth but didn't know what to say to his shameless behavior. She just closed her mouth and returned her attention to the outside world as they drove past other vehicles. At this point, the sky was completely filled with dark clouds and a light breeze had started blowing.

"It's going to rain." She said as she relaxed in her seat and tightened her hold on the bouquet that she had been holding in her lap all this while. 

It took them around fifteen minutes or so before they reached the apartment complex that was owned by Sullivan Enterprise. A few minutes later, they were walking inside Kaiden's apartment, and Emily immediately there herself on the big couch as soon as they entered the living room.

It was not until she felt some movements beside her that she opened her eyes only to find Kaiden standing next to her while looking straight into her eyes. He had taken off his coat and his muscular upper body was attracting her attention as she noticed how perfectly that white shirt was folded against his muscles' curves.

"Go and get freshen up. Don't be lazy." He said as he took a seat beside her and while wrapping his hands around her upper arms, easily pulled her into the sitting position.

Emily groaned as she let her body fall into his arms, feeling better as soon as her body registered his warmth and strong presence next to her. "Can't I take a break first?" She asked while resting her face against his shoulder. Soon she felt his fingers playing with her tied hair as he tightened his other arm around her waist.

"Be a good girl, Angel. Freshen up first and then you can ret as much as you want." He said while placing a soft kiss on the crown of her head.

Emily pulled her face away from his shoulder to look into his eyes as she scrunched her nose in unhappiness. "You seriously remind me of Domenic sometimes. You both are hard nuts to crack. Fine! I'm going." 

Not giving him any chance to speak, she hurriedly pulled out of his arms and headed towards the guest bedroom where she had stayed previously. The last time she stayed here, she left some of her clothes just in case she would need them in an emergency for situations like the current one.. Looked like it was a great idea.
