“Are you going to talk to me or what?” Emily asked, almost at the verge of getting infuriated.

Richard had received a strange phone call that saw him heading out of the venue, shortly after the proposal.

He uttered no word to Emily, neither did he give her a glimpse of what the problem was.

“I’m your wife to be! You can’t just toss me around like a die”, Emily insisted as she glared at him as he sat on the driver's seat.

Richard took in a deep breath and narrowed his gaze to Emily, who was showing him the ring he had placed on her fingers earlier.

“The moment you decided to do this, you made me the woman who you can tell anything. No matter how difficult it might be”, Emily added, still swaying her palms across his face.

“Now, tell me, what is going on?”

Everywhere turned dead silent as they exchanged glances with each other. Their eyes were filled with different emotions, none of which their mouth uttered.

“I would be back as soon as I can. I just need you to take care of yourself an

    Richard walked into the large room that had the presence of curious journalists and reporters who were eager to hear his side of the story.He gulped down hard as he took slow and steady steps towards the podium that was made specially for him.“Remember, give them the smile that speaks sincerity”, Mike nudged Richard, who nodded his head in understanding.Richard took in a deep breath and waved his hands at the people present. They cheered up in excitement while trying to stretch out their microphones towards him.“Relax everyone! I would give a reply to each of your questions”, Richard said and flashed a small smile.They adhered to his words and retreated to their different seats.He glanced around and met Mike’s assuring gaze and after what seemed like ages, he returned his face to the journalists.“I know. There are many questions about me and what my life has become ever since that video went all over the internet”, Richard said slowly while they listened with rapt attention.He

    “You call that fabricated? That video carried every bit of reality in it”, the reporter pushed further with her question that made Richard uncomfortable.Richard darted his eyes to Mike, who gestured for him to remain calm and reply.“There is nothing that can’t be achieved in this age. With the advent of technology, images and videos can easily be manipulated”, Richard interjected, hoping that the reporter would give up and leave him alone.“Are you trying to say that there was no scene as such with your maid?” She asked again.“No, there was none like that”.The reporter finally nodded her head, even if she had a great chunk of doubt laying in her eyes.“I have a question, sir”, a man suddenly said from the group of reporters.Richard forced a smile to his face and gestured for him to proceed.“How does your wife feel about this? She must be in a situation of doubt and insecurity, especially with the news about your infidelity”, the man asked, and Richard clenched his fists.They h

    Emily got off the cab and glanced at the massive hotel that stood just at her front. A smile curved aside her lips as she rolled her luggage into it.She might be feeling empty and desolated, but she was rich to some extent.Just after she watched the press conference Richard organized, she made up her mind to push forward with life, without him. It was a difficult decision, but one that was made in a split second.Once she was done with that, she placed a call across to a house agency; one of the places she once went to searching for a job.She had a meeting with them and after explaining how urgent she needed to leave, they helped her with some amount of money which would be refunded once her house gets sold. That prompted her to take the next available flight out of the city and now, she was at a hotel in Madison; far from the city that broke her heart.“Are you lost?” She heard a man’s voice just behind where she stood.Emily quickly swirled around to meet a pair of dark brown ey

    Richard gulped down another glass of whiskey, with a large scowl on his face. His eyes were bloodshot and misty, while his body shivered every minute.The day he discovered that Emily had left the city was the greatest shocker of his life. Even in his dreams or imaginations, he never thought that Emily could summon up courage and leave, without leaving a word for him.“The girl made the right choice. For the first time, I’m proud of her”, Barbara commented from the door of the kitchen, gazing at Richard who sat in the dining hall.“Drink all you can, but she would never come back to you”, Barbara sneered with great excitement dancing in her eyes.Richard nodded his head in affirmation and cast a dead glare towards her.“She’s not coming back because you threatened her”, Richard said as blood started running through his vein.Barbara smirked silently as she studied her husband, who looked extremely helpless and sad.“You chose me, not her, Barbara raised her shoulder in pride, taking s

    Emily forced the last piece of pizza she ordered into her mouth and down her throat. She gulped down hard and stayed still, trying to prevent it from finding way out of the mouth again.She had been throwing up incessantly for some days now. First, she concluded that it was as a result of stress, and then, she said it was because of the baby in her stomach. However, Richard’s absence was the cause of everything and despite how hard she tried to clean off thoughts of him, they remained still.A knock on her door jolted her out of her thoughts and with a wobbly foot, she sauntered towards the door.She turned the door knob and staggered slightly when she met the same pair of eyes she met the day she arrived at the hotel.“Good day, ma’am”, the man greeted politely, flashing a smile that made Emily’s stomach churn in discomfort.“I brought your order”, the man continued, while Emily’s eyes narrowed down to the food tray.There were cookies and cream flavored ice cream, chicken wings and

    Emily stood at the massive gate of the hotel, staring at the roadside and getting lost in the number of cars that passed by every minute. She looked up to the sky. The sky was tar black and large clouds were moving towards her in rapid succession. She heard the loud sound of that came from the sky and almost immediately, the rains descended. Puddles began plinking as the rains became heavier.Emily remained still, not willing to move or take shelter. Droplets of water that soon changed to a heavy rain dropped on her, drenching her until she shivered.It blurred her vision, drenched her head and hid the tears that trickled out of her eyes. All she wanted to do was cry, together with the rain.As she stood under the rain, she thought of the last message she had received from Richard a day ago. She couldn’t understand why she was always in situations where she was unable to decide. Already, she decided to start a new life here in Madison, but that decision shattered the moment Richard t

    She couldn’t protest, neither did she have the nerves to turn down the offer that was set across her.“I can’t stay at his house!” Emily sighed deeply, rolling her eyes at Brian, who stood at the corner and smirked at her. Again, the receptionist ignored her and returned her gaze to the computer at her front. Left with no other choice, Emily turned her head to meet Brian, who was patiently waiting to hear her talk.“Don’t tell me you own this hotel”, Emily suddenly said with a look of bewilderment.Brian chuckled and leaned towards her until he was a few inches away from her ears.“You’re smart. You got it figured out”, he said in a voice that sounded like a whisper while she clenched her fists in fury. “So, can we be on our way?” Brian asked with a meaningful smile on his lips while Emily scoffed and folded her hands to her chest. She took some steps away from him until she was at the front of the door. Emily quickly placed a call across the house agents whom she handed her house

    The sound of the alarm jolted her off the sweet sleep she was having. She groaned lightly and grumpily made her way out of the bed. She was having a weird dream that appeared sweet and, at the same time, confusing.In the dream, she saw Richard and Barbara at the opposite end of where she stood. However, moving her head to the side, she realized that she was not alone; Brian was standing there with her.With a confused gaze, she wondered why he was there and what they were doing there as though it were a contest. Almost immediately, Richard trudged forward to profess his love for her. She was quite excited that smiles filled her eyes, until a fight erupted between Richard and Brian. Again, she caught the dead glare on Barbara’s face and that was when the sound of the alarm sprung up.“What the hell was that?” Emily asked herself as she groaned and held her head that ached terribly.With a bleary eye, she made her way into the bathroom, where she had her normal morning sickness and

    It was a perfect day for a wedding. The sun peeked brightly as though it were also excited for what was about to happen.Emily walked down the aisle, with the bouquet in her hands and a wide smile on her lips. Her hair was arranged in an elaborate style on top of her head, and her white glittery ball room dress swished almost silently on the carpet aisle. A song rang through her mind relating to love and the aisle. If you go down the aisle when you’re in love, you would be happy forever!She caught sight of Mike’s daughter who was the little bride of the day. The little girl sprinkled pink petals on the aisle just as she walked on it. It was a big wedding and since Richard had influence in the country, it wasn’t surprising that many reporters had come to cover the event. The aisle suddenly looked long and Emily only prayed that her feet would not give her away. Her legs were shaking fervently and her eyes were lowered to the ground.She was nervous, anxious and excited. She looked u

    Emily could smell her wedding in the air. Everywhere buzzed with activities and each day, she had different planners who came to fill her in on how her day was going to look like.She was now back at Richard’s apartment and she was going to be living with him until they got done with everything.“Today, you would be going to test your gown and choose your preference”, a lady who was in charge of the dress for the wedding said to Emily who clearly looked tired and exhausted. She was yet to really believe that she was getting married to Richard after everything. Somehow, it felt like a dream and she thought she would only wake up and see it’s not reality.However, as the days went by, she kept on realizing that this was happening and she would soon become his life and partner for life.The public on their part detested Barbara after what happened and Barbara disappeared into thin air. Probably with her lover who she claimed to be in love with. Now, Emily could feel that there wasn’t go

    - Months later- The air was stale with the smell of a new sunny day. Gentle droplets caressed the outsides of Richard's window pan. He took no notice of the fineness of the weather or the aesthetics a sunny day provided. All he got his attention fixed on was the ads the newspaper on his hands provided. He was that kind of guy. The one who would focus his attention while on something and damned everything else, and because of this little personality trait, he was capable of loving immensely. He loved Emily so much, and his attention was something always focused on her welfare. Even the ads on the newspaper had something that reminded him of Emily. As Richard sat with his legs crossed and hidden underneath his dinning table and his reading glasses gracing his beautiful beads of eyes, lady in an Apron walked into the dinning room with a tray in her hand and a pretty smile on her face. Immediately Richard's eyes fell on her, he smiled brightly, folded the newspaper and sat upright. He t

    Emily was clad in a tight fitted red gown, with her hair packed to a ponytail, and a red lipstick on her lips. She walked into the location where the meeting was scheduled to hold, with her baby in her arms and a little bag on the other hand.She met Richard, already sitting comfortably and deep down, she couldn’t help but wonder why he had come so early.“I’m here!” Emily announced as she finally took her seat, smiling widely at the lawyer who was already sitting.He was a young fine man and for some reasons, Richard felt jealous.“We are waiting for Barbara and her lawyer!” Emily said and smiled at her lawyer.“You look dashing, I know it’s not ethical to compliment my client, but I couldn’t remain mute!” The young man said and Emily blushed again.Richard suddenly slammed his fist on the table, pulling the attention of both the young lawyer and Emily.“Hello Mr Richard!” Emily said in an official manner, as though she had no idea of who he was.Richard wore a quick frown “Can we s

    “I would miss you baby boy!” The nanny said as she played with the baby who giggled in excitement. Emily thanked her for being there after which she appreciated her with some money.She had just reached the living room when she heard another footstep behind her. She decided to keep her face front, since she was not ready to meet Richard.“Would you leave without saying a word to me?” Richard asked, but Emily ignored him and walked towards the door instead. Richard was shocked that he ran across to her and grabbed her wrist.“Emily!” He called out and reluctantly, she turned her head, with a stone cold expression.“I have no business with you, Richard! I came for my son”, Emily said as she gritted her teeth in rage. She recalled how Richard had yelled at her and how he never believed that she was not the one at fault. This caused her heart to break to a thousand pieces.“Why? You want to go ahead and live with Brian? Are you that worthless and…”, Richard was saying when a deafening s

    Emily picked out her phone and took pictures of Barbara and Brian. She couldn’t help her feelings and in a split second, she broke into a loud laughter. Brian glared at her furiously, but she quickly apologized and asked him to proceed with the act. Emily could not just believe that Barbara was the one laying on the bed, lifeless and unable to react or stand against what was being done against her.“Ride her! Create that illusion that you are riding her. I want the world to see this and believe every bit of it”, she said aloud and Brian continued the fake ride on Barbara.When Emily was satisfied with the number of pictures she had taken, she gestured for Brian to get down and put on his clothes.Together, they watched the pictures and videos and somehow, Brian felt glad that his facial features was not in view. It was only that of Barbara that was clear and bright.“She would beg me to throw this aside and I would remind her of how she took my child away from me and went out to tell

    Richard was staring into his phone and gazing at a picture he took with Emily and the baby the day they visited the park.Just then, Barbara walked into the living room and caught sight of it. She felt a wave of jealousy flush through her, but she shrugged and started laughing instead.“This is so pathetic! You lost your goddess!” She said and continued with the laughter.Richard only gazed at her and kept mute. Barbara was clad in a very short gown, which almost revealed the type of pant she had under. That disgusted Richard, but he decided to keep mute about it since she was no more his wife.“When are you going to sign those papers?” Richard asked Barbara who was walking out of the house.“Right after I have some fun time with my lover!” She said and licked her lips seductively.“Do you know who my lover is?” She asked Richard who didn’t appear bothered at all.“You would get mad if you know him! Have a nice lonely day!” Barbara said and dashed out of the house.Richard sighed deep

    Barbara laid on her bed as she thought of how she had warned Emily to stay out of her paths. She felt fulfilled because she could swear that she destroyed Emily.Just then, her mind went to Richard and somehow, her heart skipped a beat. She knew that the marriage would eventually come to an end, but she didn’t expect it to be so fast.She wasn’t ready to sign the divorce papers, at least, not yet…The loud sound of her phone distracted her from her thoughts and immediately, she picked it up with hopes that it would be from a company. Ever since her marital scandal erupted, Barbara had lost countless jobs and contracts.Most of them told her that they weren’t willing to work with someone who had a history of some sensitive situation like marriage issues since it won’t speak well for their brand.“This is Barbara, do you have a job for me?” She asked with a wide smile on her lips, hoping that she would get a positive answer from the other end.“This is Brian!” His voice boomed from the

    “You would have to help me if you want me to believe all what you have just said”, Emily announced, while Brian stared at her with keen interest. Of course, he wanted her to believe him because he wasn’t ready to throw their friendship down the drain.“I’m willing to do anything, as long as it makes you to believe me!” Brian said defiantly, while Emily kissed her teeth and walked around the room thoughtfully.“Well! It’s not as easy as it sounds. But then, I’m glad that you are ready to do this”, Emily responded and finally sat down on the bed.“I’m ready to do this as long as it helps you, and also, if it’s going to go a long way in punishing Barbara!” Brian said defiantly while Emily gestured for him to sit down on a couch which was directly opposite her.“If it works well, I would have my son back! And her secret would be out in the public, too. I mean, that is just all what I want. Barbara caused me so much pain already, and I’m not going to let it slide!” Emily said defiantly.Br
