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?
He pushed her to the bed as he climbed on top of an already undressed Emily.Before he could move further on her, the door was suddenly thrown open and Barbara walked in and stared at them in shock.“Richard please leave, two women have something to discuss… urgently “ she said as she stared at Emily who immediately got off the bed and got dressed. Richard gave her a suspicious look and she shook her head, one that assured him that she won’t do anything stupid to Emily. Immediately he left, she shut the door behind her and walked to Emily.“I….” Before Emily could even say a thing, she raised her hand and gave her a slap across the face before dragging her hair.“Aren’t you ashamed of yourself ? Don’t you feel any shame when you do these things?” She asked and Emily struggled to free herself from Barbara’s merciless torture.“Let me go!” She yelled as she pushed her away from herself with so much force and Barbara fell to the ground, humiliated. She immediately got off the floo
“She’ll leave this house, I am your wife and I say she leaves “ Barbara said as she pulled Emily away from Richard and made to take her out of the house by herself when Richard held on to Emily’s hand which caused Barbara to stare in shock at them holding hands.“Didn’t I already tell you ? Emily would be staying here and that’s final” he said “Give me one reason why she should stay here. Is it because she performs better in bed than I do?” She asked and immediately those nasty words had escaped her mouth, Emily closed her eyes. She felt so heartbroken but what did she think?Did she think Richard and Barbara would be married for so long without touching each other?“Please excuse me” she said and made to leave, she could not take the thought of imagining the both of them on the same bed, making love to each other.“And why do you want to leave? Does the thought of a husband and wife making love irk you?” Barbara asked and Emily shook her head“I have got better things to do than to a
The meeting atmosphere was tensed. Barbara shot quick dead glares at Emily who huffed and lowered her gaze to the floor. She carried the little baby in her arms as though everyone around her were a threat against him. Richard stayed still, gazing at the young lady who held a couple of documents in her hands and then, back at Barbara who was ready to pounce on them with the sharp glares of her eyes.“I’m glad we were able to come together this time”, the young lady who was supposedly the lawyer finally said, placing her eyes at Emily as though she were the major culprit.She was not far from the truth. Severally, they’ve called for a meeting between the three of them, but Emily and Richard never deemed it fit to show up. This time though, Emily showed up because she had come up to tell her that the police would be involved if she doesn’t show up in the next meeting. And now, here they were, staring at each other and waiting for the next words that would come off her bitter lips.“Bar
“I want to be here, together with my child”, Emily dropped and fixed her gaze on the young baby who was now smiling as though he could relate to her comment.Everywhere turned dead silent, but that only lasted for a minute because almost immediately, Barbara stood to her feet and paced around in rage.“That is not possible!” She declared and pointed her hands at Emily who didn’t seem to care about her statements.“The child is mine and no one can do anything against that”, Barbara added and glared at the lawyer, obviously awaiting a form of support from her.The lawyer sighed deeply and brought forth the documents that laid in her hands.“According to this, the child now belongs to Barbara”, the lawyer stated, clearly beginning to feel exhausted about the situation.Barbara gave a wicked smile after which she sat down in fulfillment.Richard cleared his throat after listening to the situation for a while. He had been silent, trying so hard to think of a comment that would calm the situ
