100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 30
NEW YORK CITY:To say Emma was furious would be an understatement, she was beyond furious, maddening even. What business did Gideon have dropping Judy home? Had he been with her most of the night? Why was he even with her at the first place? Emma didn’t know what to think of the pictures that were currently resting on her palms. She really didn’t want to think too much into it, Judy was her friend after all. But the picture were saying otherwise, the first one looked as though her husband and Judith were going to share a kiss, the second was of him pulling away. When Judith has gushed about how much she admired Gideon, Emma had only seen it as a compliment, she didn’t think she would actually think of trying to have something with him. She shuddered at the thought. Gideon could never do such a thing to her. But deep down inside her, she was having doubts. The door to the shower room flung opened and Gideon steeped out with only a white towel wrapped around his waist. On a different d

"Are you sure all the red ones I picked are exactly the ones you've stuck up there? " Judy asked the attendant of Prada’s lingering store who stood in front of the counter.

" the plump attendant added handing over the package to Judy who smiled and left the store. 'I can't wait to put it on for Gideon. ' she thought. 'He loves red, I'll give him red. ' she muttered to herself. "Come in. The door is open. " Judy replied after her door bell rang. It was few minutes past 10pm. She had just taken a bath and had a robe around her. "I've been expecting you. " she told her guest who crashed into her sofa. "I had a long day. At last I am here. " he replied after giving out a loud groan.

'He will make it up to her. ' he told himself. He had some business partners to meet that morning and he needed to get to the office that morning as soon as possible and get his papers ready. He even forgot to kiss Emma hat morning. Not even a peck on her cheek, forehead or neck. He always tells her she is his good luck charm and every morning kiss from her brightens his day especially when he had business meetings or deals to strike.

" Emma’s mother said as if she read her daughter's mind. "Hope it doesn't interfere with his responsibilities and your personal life. " her mother said. "We are fine. " Emma lied. They weren't fine. In fact that morning, they had an argument before Emma left to her parent's place. Her mother had invited them earlier for a house warming party.

Will stared at Emma’s phone screen in absolute shock, he couldn’t believe what he was seeing at the moment. His eyes darted back and forth from the screen to Emma’s face, once, twice, till he couldn’t take it anymore. “I’m going to kill that bastard” Will screamed, if not that everyone was in the backyard, he could have gained their attention. Will did want to kill Gideon but as he stared at Emma who had been in that same position since she saw the picture, he knew he had to be with her. She was in the pain all because of fucked up Gideon. Quite frankly, Will never liked him or his guts. There was something always off about him. Emma was still shaking from the shock. How could Gideon do such a thing to her? “Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God” Emma screamed, her hands reaching to her hair trying to pull it off from her scalp but Will’s hands shot to hers stopping her before she could do any damage and pulled her into a comforting hug.

He brought her Ryans school uniform, a bag of Ryan's clothes and some stuffs she needed. The shock she got last night was unbearable and she was sure she could pass for a traumatized victim. She wouldn't pick Gideon's calls neither did she reply his text messages. She now hated him for all she knew.

All he wanted was his Dada which up till now was nowhere in sight. Ten minutes passed and still no sign, the playground was becoming vacant. Mrs Shaw came out from the school building and was more than surprised to find the little kid whose mother took nothing less than two minutes to pick him up from school standing close the park with tears in his eyes. She decided to walk over to him. “Hey little one, where is your mother?” the little kid looked up at her with sad eyes and said “dada”.

She had vowed to be strong even though the last two weeks had been the most difficult stage of her life. Her days became darker and she blamed fate for being unfair.

She was seated on a the bare floor and both her hands were tied behind her. She slowly opened her eyes but everywhere seemed to be covered with fog. Emma then spotted a man sitting at a desk looking right at her. She tried to see his face from where he was but she couldn’t. She forced her eyes open and felt that her kidnapper looked familiar.

In her room, Judy held her phone, staring at the photo of Emma and Gideon taken at the museum that night by the strange man who walked in. Tears were streaming down Judy's cheeks and dripping on her phone which she was managing to hold still. Her hands were shaking and she was boiling with rage. She felt her heart aching and her head felt as if it was on fire. She began to shake violently. She tightened her fists, hit it against the wall and she began to bleed. "No. " Judy screamed in agony and broke into a torrential overflow kneeling on her bed. She hit the phone on the wall and the screen came off. She tore the book beside her on the bed into tiny bits and scattered it across her room. She placed her back against the wall and cried her heart out. How could Gidoen do this to me? She thought and the the image of them dancing together f

Emma turned to Gideon with her perfectly sculpted eyebrow raised. She walked closer to him. "Why did you do that for? " she aksed him. Gideon immediately grinned at Emma and looked left. She began to smile and Gideon didn't notice her. "I just saved your life ma'am. " Gideon said. "What? " blurted Emma and she giggled. Then she bursted out laughing and Gideon smiled. He loved the way she was laughing. He missed the sound of her laughter. "I miss this. " Gideon told her staring directly into her eyes. "I miss our usual fun filled banter. " he said and Emma nodded.

After ordering Martin to get the wine from LIA'S, Gideon went back to his office and sat. Judy followed him. "We got the deal Judy. " he told her with a smile. Judy gave a false smile. "Get the necessary things in order. Ensure the best bar tendants are sent there. I'll be present at the event. " Gideon hinted. "Yes sir. " Judy replied and walked out of his office. Judy wanted to ask Gideon what transpired between him and Emma, how he convinced her to sell the wine to him and how he was able to make the transaction quick but she didn't wanted to make it obvious to him that she was anxious. She went back to her office and continued doing the work he assigned to her. Immediately Gideon left Emma's office, she got a phone call from the museum management. "Of course I'll be there sir.

"You mean you are going to Emma for a transaction? " Judy asked. Gidoen nodded. "Oh come on Gideon. That woman is after you. " argued Judy. "She will kick you out I bet. " she added. "I might as well try. " maintained Gideon. Judy left his office angrily. What on earth could she do at the moment to stop them from meeting? she thought. Back in his office, Gideon was pondering. If he goes to Emma's office, she might shut him out? he thought. Since she was after his downfall lately, he was sure she wouldn't assist him yet he still felt the need to try. He got up quickly from his chair, alerted his driver and they were soon on their way to her office. As he sat parallel the car, he kept dismissing the thought that was seducing him to go back. If he doesn't prove to the museum management that he could handle the deal, he might never be contacted again and after all the loses he was making lately, he needed this deal to click. "We are here sir. " his driver announced parking the car
