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
Richard sent a downcast gaze across to Emily. He was only trying to help out as a man that he was but she shoved it aside and made him look like a fool. He was disappointed and embarrassed that she tossed him aside like a dice.Emily kept mute again and stared at Barbara who was still trying to analyze the words that had just come off from the lawyer.“I brought you here to support me, and you are supporting her instead?” She asked the lawyer who gulped down hard and sighed deeply.Barbara’s heart was in fury. She wiped the tears that formed on her forehead, but that was not enough to calm her nerves.“Fine! We would take a deal then!” Barbara said finally when she realized the coldness that existed between Emily and Richard. One thing she was sure of was the fact that Emily’s heart was darkened towards him and nothing seemed to excite her more than that. “We would take a deal!” Barbara stated and Emily lifted her head with rapt attention.Richard let out a deep hiss. There was noth
The wails of the baby rented the air in Richard’s mansion. Barbara’s face was soaked in sweat as she cuddled him in her arms while trying to stop him from crying.Her phone that buzzed frequently on the bed was not helping out and in a split second, she could swear that she was beginning to be frustrated.The room door made a creaking sound and almost immediately, Richard walked into the room with a huge frown on his face.“I always knew that you’re not competent to be called a mother. Just look at how my child keeps crying in your arms”, Richard hissed silently while Barbara’s blood became raged.“He is my child too!” She said angrily and darted her eyes to the little child who was in every bit of discomfort.“Then make him stop crying”, Richard countered, suddenly making Barbara turn mute.Barbara walked around the room with the child, hoping that it would lessen his wails. However, that seemed to heighten it.“This is frustrating!” Barbara confessed and dropped the child in the cot
“Emily!” Richard called out again, and with a large scowl on her face, she turned her head to stare at him.She had heard him calling her continuously, but then, her heart wasn’t moved to drop a response.Just then, the wails of the child pierced through her ears and abruptly, she jerked up to her feet with panic written all over her eyes.“What have you done to him?” Emily asked as she made to take the baby away from his arms.“Don’t touch him!” Barbara declared from where she stood and like a little baby, Emily retreated and withdrew her hands.“Take him”, Richard ordered Emily who gazed back at Emily for some sort of permission.She couldn’t help but laugh inwardly. Never in her wildest imaginations did she think that a day like this would come; when a woman would have to determine when she placed her hands on her child.“Barbara, he is in tears and he does not look well”, Emily said as she gulped down hard to conceal the emotions that were building up within her.She was almost at
