Bound by a billionaires vow

Emma Anderson rolled in bed and struggled in her sleep state to find the switch to the alarm blaring unforgivable in her ears. Cool breeze seeped into her room from the half opened window and she wished she could just lay in bed all day. As she smiled at this tempting thought, images of Hardcase her boss flashed through her mind and she jerked herself out of bed waking up with full force.

Now wide-eyed, she knew she couldn't waste a minute more if she didn't want the wrath of hardcase willy.

She was out of bed in a flash to prepare for work, she got gloomy just thinking of the day ahead with her boss.

Doing a last minute check around her apartment, Emma locked her doors and kept the keys under the flower pot just by the door as she smiled. She didn't know of other places but Hamilton a small city in the outskirts of New York is as peaceful as anywhere can be, with it friendly neighbors, good social services and good security system. They hardly had a fight, except a few brawls from kids here and there and the gangs knew more than to cause a scene on the street. She waved at Duffy the neighbors dog who came wagging her tails as soon as she saw emma expecting a bite. Emma knelt on a knee and rubbed Duffy crooning, " Sorry Duff, Next time I promise you a treat.

She went straight to her RV parked on the front porch and took a minute to admire it as usual, a morning ritual she never missed. Her six(6) Months old baby still looked fairly new and shown in the morning light. She Unlocked the doors with care , entered and zoomed off to work.

As she swerved the car into the lot, she saw the security guy waving at her and she smiled right back. She was in high spirits, probably because she had a smooth ride to Willy and Associates where she worked as a Lawyer.

She stepped into the office and immediately felt the tension everywhere and wished she had tiptoed, her instinct told her something was amiss and today was not going to be friendly.

"Hi" She mouthed to May who's eye was glued to her laptop screen typing frantically away.

May mouthed her response back and Emma confirmed something is really wrong, she checked her wristwatch and noted with relief that she was few minutes early.

She went into her office and barely laid her butt down when May's head came through the door in a low voice

"Williams calls for you in his office now!"

She was about to ask May what it was about but she was gone as fast as she came in.

Shaking her head, she slowly made her way to Hardcase office. Her boss Williams Lawson who every one gave an evil nickname or the other was an Handsome devil's mix of a man. He's sharp cut masculine features drew both gender to him while he's devilish like attitude drove them back.

He's a pro at what he does and he owns Willy & Associates, One of the most successful and popular Law firm in Hamilton. He is also a successful businessman who inherited the family's business and has since expanded it into other cities and countries alike. The sound of the Lawson's name brought smiles to the ladies face and intimidated fellow men. Emma at few times almost asked him why he was running Willy and Associates at all, given how rich he is, without working his generation would have a free walk throughout their life.

Emma was about to knock on his door when she heard angry male voices from the closed door in an heated argument, she wanted to leave and come back but she dreaded Willy's wrath, now that she knew that something was definitely amiss. She stood there contemplating whether to leave or to knock when the door was flung open at her face. Her mouth went "Oh oh" but the man responsible for her expression didn't even look her way and he just stormed off. She caught a glimpse of Hardcase Looking grim just as she concluded she wasn't ready to face Williams just yet, she turned and she was about to Tip-toe off, when Williams barked

"Yes Emma, what do you want"
