Emily sat down in the living room as she looked around with pure astonishment present in her eyes.

She had been ushered in by the security guard after showing them the message she had gotten earlier.

After what seemed like ages, she stood up and trudged towards the portrait that hung on the wall.

Lifting her finger, she trailed every angle of the portrait with a wide smile on her lips.

For some reasons she couldn’t decipher, it felt nice to be there.

A slight cough distracted her, causing her to swiftly swirl around towards the direction it came from.

“I presume you are the maid”, she heard a voice that caused her to feel belittled immediately.

Abruptly, she took her hands away from the portrait and bowed in respect.

“Good day ma”, Emily greeted, wondering who the person was.

“You are the maid, aren’t you?” Barbara asked fiercely, glaring at Emily from her head down to her feet.

“Yes, yea, I am…”, Emily stuttered, trying so hard to feel aplomb.

“And what were you doing touching that p

    Emily stared at the both of them, wondering what was going on.“You’re welcome. I would show you to your quarters”, Richard said as he started walking out.Emily nodded her head in understanding and turned her head to watch Barbara, who shot Richard a dead glare.She bowed her head respectfully and hurriedly sauntered behind Richard. “Could they be siblings ?” She asked herself inwardly, but couldn’t come up with an answer.“We are here!” Richard said and turned to stare at Emily, whose head was lowered to the floor.He couldn’t decipher why she found it difficult to meet his eyes whenever they were together.“Thank you very much”, Emily said as she made to walk into the room.Richard held her wrist calmly, causing her to peer into his warm eyes.“You shouldn’t get frightened by me. I won’t hurt you, neither would I bite you”, Richard said as Emily finally let out a smile.It was a genuine one that got Richard lost for a moment. “Thank you, sir”, Emily said again as she bowed and wa

    Just then, the telephone in the room started ringing aloud. Emily was taken aback for a moment as she wondered what a telephone was doing there in the room.“Come to the living room”, she heard Barbara’s voice, that caused her to shudder in fright.“Right away, ma’am”, she replied and dropped the call.From all indications, they had placed the telephone there to make communication much easier.She hurriedly stood to her feet and walked towards the living room, which was about three minutes walk away from her quarters.Entering into the living room, she met Barbara, who was sitting on a couch, with her legs crossed and a glass of wine in her hands.Emily wondered if the rich always had a glass of wine in their hands every hour of the day.“Perhaps, it’s their lifestyle”, she thought silently, wondering if she would ever be like that when she eventually becomes rich.“I’m here, ma’am”, Emily said calmly as she bowed her head in respect.“Sit”, Barbara commanded, without taking her head

    Richard watched Barbara intently from where he stood, still trying so hard to decipher what she was up to currently. His eyes darted to Emily who was quite frightened but tried so hard to remain calm and bold. “She appears to be fine”, Richard mumbled and made to head back to his room when he heard the third rule.“Rule no 3: keep your distance away from my husband”, Barbara said and immediately, the atmosphere turned dead silent.Richard’s eyes widened in shock, and so did that of Emily.Emily squinted her eyes, trying to think of a reason why she would go after another woman’s husband.“Do you understand?” Barbara questioned, peering piercingly into Emily’s soft eyes.“Yes, I do”, she replied as she lowered her head to the ground.“Good!” Barbara said as she stood to her feet and made her way towards the staircase.Richard quickly headed back to his room and shut the door behind him, panting heavily with an expression that showcased utmost confusion.Just then, Barbara barged into

    Emily recovered from the shock of the day quite earlier than she thought she would. After Barbara had left, she stayed rooted to the spot for a few more minutes before finally headed over to her quarters.She felt goosebumps all over her body as different thoughts made way to her head.“Her husband?” She said to herself again as cold shivers ran down her spine.She seemed to be getting a chunk of surprises ever since she stepped her foot into the mansion.Firstly, she had met Barbara, who she had no idea of her existence. She had thought that the house belonged to Richard, since he was the one who handled the interview.Secondly, the woman was sassy and arrogant, indirectly throwing insults at her as though she were a dumb lady who had no idea of how things worked.Just when she had thought that was all, Barbara had come up with rules pertaining to how she was meant to live in the house. She didn’t have a problem with that. However, she had a huge problem with the way Barbara glared

    “This is reality”, Richard muttered under his breath as he took slow steps towards where she stood.She was so lost in the peaceful scent that emanated from the flower and as such, had no idea that Richard stood behind her.Richard stared at her intently as his heart suddenly raced. He felt his feet becoming wobbly and almost immediately, he was out of air.He braced up and took in a deep breath, not wanting to fall for the lady at his front because she looked like the one in his dreams.“Rule no 4: no loitering around my garden!” Richard said defiantly, causing Emily to swirl around in fright.“I’m so sorry, sir”, Emily said as the flower she held flew out of her hands and landed on the floor.Richard’s eyes trailed to the flower that laid on the floor, after which he shifted his gaze back to Emily, who was shaking in fright.He chuckled inwardly when he caught sight of how naive and innocent she looked. “I’m deeply sorry, sir”, Emily mumbled under her breath, silently wishing that

    Emily walked into the large kitchen and looked around in amazement as her jaws dropped in awe.Her hands trailed on the countertops as she tried to wonder how a kitchen could be so large and beautiful.The kitchen had light-brown cabinets, with two massive doors. These cabinets had different plates of various sizes and designs, large bowls, different types of teas and cereals at another end.The large white refrigerator stood at the far end of the kitchen, close to the dining section that was made with marbles and fine stones.She gulped down hard as she tried to think of how excited she would be if she eventually owns a home as this.She settled to prepare dinner of mashed potatoes and meat loaf. Somehow, she was grounded in cooking as she always stayed with her mother in the kitchen whenever she was back home from school.A wide smile spread across her lips when she saw the refrigerator, which was stocked up with anything one might need in the kitchen.She sliced the tomatoes as sh

    “You get frightened so easily, why is that?” Richard asked as he walked closer to her and picked an apple, which he munched on.“I’m sorry, sir”, Emily muttered as she tried to move her wrist, which seemed to have gotten frozen.“Once again, I won’t bite you, and you should do away with your incessant and unnecessary apologies”, he said while she nodded her head and picked up the chopping board.“You were singing, can you continue?” Richard asked calmly, causing Emily to throw a sharp gaze at him.“What?” She asked and broke into nervous laughter.“I can’t sing”, she said nervously, and chuckled when she saw the look of disbelief on Richard’s face.“And you are cooking”, Richard murmured as he inhaled deeply and exhaled with a wide smile on his face.Emily squinted her eyes and chuckled again, wondering why he was acting in such a weird manner.“You sing and you cook. Tell me, what else do you have in you?” He asked as he stared at her in a way that made her uncomfortable.“Nothing”,

    “Please, sit with me”, Richard repeated when he saw that Emily wasn’t attempting to do what he had said.“No, I rather stand as it’s against my role”, Emily stuttered and trembled.“Let’s eat together, or I may not eat at all”, he said and without uttering any more words, she drew out a seat and sat down.Emily stared at him calmly as she picked up her plate to dish out some meal for herself.At intervals, she gazed at the entrance of the door in a bid to check out for signs of Barbara.“She won’t be back today or anytime soon”, Richard said with a scoff and almost immediately, Emily caught a glimpse of pain in his eyes.She gulped down hard and nodded her head in understanding, after which she placed a spoonful of the mashed potatoes into her mouth.She chewed on it calmly, hoping that she doesn’t choke on it because of Richard’s stares.Richard took in a deep breath and placed some meat loaf into his mouth. He chewed on it as he closed his eyes and moaned slightly.Emily chuckled in

    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

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.

    - 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
