“Oh my God! I’m so sorry”, Emily apologized for the hundredth time after bumping into a stranger. She was rushing and each minute that passed made her chance of meeting her child tinier.“Are you blind? Don’t you watch where you go to?” An elderly woman asked, almost at the verge of slapping Emily.Emily wore a massive scowl on her face as she apologized and, finally, entered the boutique that stood before her. If she needed to be at the party, then she had to look like it. “How much would this cost?” She asked the receptionist, who had a bright smile on her face.“A thousand dollars”, she replied and made to pull out the dress.Emily drifted off in thoughts for a minute. The party would definitely be one of extreme class and people. If she would rather not be an object of suspicion, she needed to dress like one of them.The money Brian had given to her was remaining about two thousand dollars and if she failed to get into the mansion today, she would be left stranded on the street.
“I would drop here. I would rather not get too close”, Emily said to the cab driver, who stepped on the brakes immediately.He nodded his head in understanding and parked aside the road. It was some distance away from Richard’s mansion, but everyone around would observe that a great part was currently ongoing some houses away.“You must be a wealthy woman. Won’t you help me out with some tips?” The cab driver teased while Emily struggled with her heart.She held a two hundred dollar note in her hands and if she didn’t make it into the mansion, it only meant that she would be starving in no distant time.“Here you go!” She said with a smile that didn’t get to her lips.The man excitedly collected it and drove off. If only he knew that he had ripped her off her last funds…“Let’s do this”, she said to herself as she changed her walk steps.She had practiced this new work steps since last night. If she wanted to avoid getting discovered, she had to change everything that related to Emil
Mike looked around immediately he got to the rooftop where the connections were made to the down floor. All he wanted to do was to make sure the event is disrupted by the sudden secret reveal he would be making right at the heat of the event.Just as he thought, everywhere was tight with the security that lurked around.“Barbara!” Mike muttered under his breath as he clenched his fist.He couldn’t ascertain why Barbara never failed to be many steps ahead in her numerous plans. He walked away from the rooftop to devise another means to infiltrate the connection room.Just then, he bumped into the nanny, who had the baby in her arms. A wide smile spread across his lips as he made to take the child away from her.“Nobody is permitted to lay hands on him, except me”, the nanny politely said, with her eyes lowered to the ground.Mike nodded his head in understanding. Barbara was going to do everything possible to protect the little child.“Can I get some glasses of wine for the men at th
Back at the rooftop, Mike was tied in such a manner that movement wasn’t made possible. He resisted, but the more he did, the more punches he got.He kept mute, whimpering in pain and hoping that Barbara wouldn’t kill him. She knew that it was very possible, and the worst was that nothing would be done if she decided to make such a decision.“Would you kill me?” Mike asked the heavily built guard who had caught him and rather than getting a response, he got a punch.“Your offense deserves nothing other than death”, the man replied in his husky voice that sent cold chills down his spine.“When the Boss gets here, she would decide your fate”, the man replied and landed another punch across to his face.Mike was in extreme agony and the more he remained there; the worse the pain he got was.“Please, call Richard!” Mike pleaded again as he wished that Richard would come to his aid.“Fine! I would do just that”, he replied and for a minute, Mike’s eyes widened in surprise.He was shocked t
The nanny came out again. This time, without the baby. Emily followed her this time, trying so hard to avoid losing her in the midst of the crowd.“Hello! Are you the nanny?” Emily asked with a wide smile on her face.Even though she wasn’t known as the real mother of the baby, she felt that she had every means to have a glance at the young lady who took care of the child.“Yes, I am. Is there a problem?” The young lady replied sharply, and Emily needed no one to tell her that Barbara must have warned her severely.“No! Don’t worry. I’m of no harm of any such. I just wanted to commend your ability to take care of a child. Furthermore, I love it when I see young ladies who take care of children”, Emily commented and pulled her into a warm hug.She preferred her baby being in the hands of this stranger, than in the hands of Barbara.“I guess that the baby is asleep”, Emily said, trying so hard to avoid sounding suspicious.The young nanny looked at her keenly, trying so hard to ascertai
“Thank you all for coming. This would be the end of todays celebration”, Barbara announced via the microphone after which she threw it to the floor and walked away.Most of the guests questioned her actions, but rather than disturbing themselves with thoughts of what might have happened, they resolved to leaving the arena. Barbara was raged that she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Richard followed behind her, feeling indifferent and hoping that whoever it was with his child was Emily.His strong instincts told him that it was Emily and that was why he remained relaxed and cool.“This must be your plan too, right?” Barbara asked Richard the moment she observed that he wasn’t as concerned as she was.“I have no idea of what is going on”, he replied sincerely after which a smile curved on his lips.“However, whatever it is that has happened is really amusing and interesting!” Richard commented and Barbara stopped right in her tracks.She made to grab him on the collar, but she
Emily woke up to loud snores that was coming from somewhere not so far from where was. She thought it was just mere hallucinations but after listening to it for a while, she was convinced that it was just some distance away from where she was.“It can’t be Richard, would it?” She asked herself as she stood to her feet and strolled towards the door.She had been asleep after locking up the room door. Just as she had thought, they made no efforts towards bringing the door down because they wanted to avoid scandal.Now it was midnight and inasmuch as she was hungry, she wasn’t ready to open the door up for anyone. “Who is there?” She asked the moment she got to the door.She knew who it was because from where she stood, his scent was striking and very familiar.“It’s me, goddess”, Richard mumbled under his breath and immediately, her stomach churned in excitement.She scolded herself immediately she felt that way. She wasn’t supposed to feel such way for Richard because of the series of
Barbara stared at Richard before staring back at Emily, she couldn’t believe this, what did Emily think? That after she had fought so hard to get her thrown out of her house, fought so hard to get the child, she would suddenly let her back in the house because she requested it? An idea suddenly came to mind, she would humiliate Emily. Emily thought since Richard was present when she was making the request, she’d get a positive feedback and Barbara had planned to rub it in her face when Richard refused.“Sorry Emily, I’m a mother now and I have left most of my work to take care of my child” Barbara said, making sure to emphasize on the fact that she had a child, Emily’s child! “I could take care of my child alone, I don’t need help “ she said“It’s not necessary you need help. You’re a model, you could want pedicure, full tissue massage, facial treatment and all those stuff to make yourself glow and all that. As a mother you do know that these things aren’t good for children don’t you?
