You Belong To Me

Chapter 1

Emily Fields always wanted to be everything, everything that people aspired of her. Everyone knows that the perfect woman has to have a perfect life, that's how it should be.

In high school things always were easy for her, she was the captain of the Swimming team and had a boyfriend who was also captain of the football team. Everybody wanted to be her or her friend for that matter. She was happy, or so she thought. She always thought that from now on, her life could only gets better. And maybe it was like that.

Emily was smart, always with the best grades. So when the time came, she applied for the best colleges. She was still surprised when she found out that was accepted in all of the colleges though. NYU, Yale, Columbia. But Emily Catherine Fields can only go to one. The best university.

That's why she went to Yale. However, Emily had the option of entering the college of her dreams in the city of her dreams to study what she really wanted. She had the chance to study art in NYU, but of course that was not what her parents and all the world expected of her, so she went to Yale to study law. That would be the right choice, her parents would be proud and happy.

Emily lives only to please others and not herself, so going to Yale was the right choice for her.

Nothing was impossible for Emily. Beautiful and smart, ice and fire. If she wanted something, she needed to have it. She used to have what she wanted at any time. Is how life works for her. She had it all.

Except perhaps, maybe for something, or someone.

It happened on her first year in Yale, she met her. The love of her life. But in her second year in Yale all collapsed.

She leave Emily. And she was left with a broken heart, without any explanation.

In her third year of Yale she met a handsome and highly intelligent man who conquered her slowly.

The hole in her heart who left a certain person was still there though, but somehow this man made her forget occasionally about it. So when they were already in a relationship, she wasn't surprised. And when she found herself a couple of years later saying "yes" to that big question, she wasn't surprised either.

She accepted to be the wife of this man, because a marriage and children after college was what comes next, right?

Toby Cavanaugh was the man dreamed for every women, a man who would be loved by her parents and friends. Future heir of a large company in New York. She couldn't ask for more, it was what it needed to be done.

So now, Emily Fields has 24 years old. She has a good job that would give her a lot of money in the future, she is going to marry a handsome and intelligent man and be the envy of her friends about her perfect life. It was perfect.

Everybody would think that she is the luckiest woman alive, the happiest.

Except though, she isn't.

-Hey baby, I'll pick you up in an hour, my cousins came suddenly and they want to finally meet you-

Emily readed the message and got out of bed. An hour wasn't enough to be presentable. Hang out with the Cavanaugh family wasn't just anything, it was all appearances for them, and Emily knew how to handle that very well.

I guess there is no time for breakfast, Emily sighed.

She should be at last excited to meet the other half of the family of her future husband, right? But the truth was that it was far from that, but that didn't matter anyway, Emily was always far away from happiness.

She knew how happiness feels like at some point in her life though, she knew happiness very well. But only one person could give that to her, and it wasn't Toby Cavanaugh. A person that she didn't even dare to think about.
