It was still 5:am. It was yet to be daybreak, and everywhere was still dark. Barbara has successfully removed every bit of sleep in Richard’s eyes, and he was left pondering over her words while tossing on his bed restlessly.

Severally, he tried to toss the thoughts aside, especially because of how much he trusted Emily. But then, somehow, it kept on kicking in, and he found himself getting drowned with the thoughts and fear that came off it.

When he couldn’t take any of it anymore, he got off the bed and walked down the stairs. He only wanted to have a walk, but he ended up going to his son’s nursery.

The door was opened and just as he had thought, Emily was asleep on the couch in the room.

He chuckled calmly and walked closer to her, admiring how sleep she looked while she slept and wondering how soon it would be to make her his wife.

After minutes of admiring her, he proceeded to admire his son and just as he did, Barbara’s words came back again.

The little boy had no special rese

    Emily was now fully convinced that something was wrong. Richard was totally off, and it made her heart skip a beat. “Richard…what’s the problem?” Emily asked Richard, who slowly lifted his head to peer into her eyes.He had a stupid question roaming in his mind, and he knew that he would never have peace if he didn’t lay it across to her. “For the first time since I met you, I wondered what it would be like if I discovered that I’m not the father to our child”, Richard dropped and for a minute, Emily thought that she had heard wrongly.She scoffed and broke into loud laughter afterward. However, she stopped in her tracks when she observed that he still wore the serious gaze.“Are you being serious now?” She stuttered, swallowing hard and trying to stop her body from being shaky.She couldn’t lay her hands on the reason Richard would have such thoughts.“I’m sorry, but it felt like a reawakening. I mean, I’m supposed to have thought of that since I’m a man”, he tried to explain to Em

    Emily ran out of the gates as fast as her legs could carry her. She was glad that the gates were widely opened, since Barbara was on her way out. She walked aside the road, running at intervals and stopping to wipe the sweats that clouded her face. She had no idea of where she was heading to, but she kept on going as far as her leg could carry her.Some minutes later, Barbara drove past her and made some facial gestures to her. Emily sighed deeply, but didn’t stop walking.Just then, a cab drove by and she flagged it down immediately. She hopped into the cab and wiped her face with the back of her hands.“Take me somewhere cool…a place I can stay in without disturbance”, she murmured, silently trusting the cab driver to make a good choice.He nodded his head in understanding and drove off, stealing glances at Emily who had resumed her silent cries.“Would the beach be a nice place for you? I can’t think of any better place”, the cab driver finally said when he realized that it was bet

    “About you?” Brian asked as he opened his eyes in shock.Emily nodded her head, with a sad smile in her lips.“Richard wants me to run a DNA test on our son. He probably thinks that he is not the father of our son”, Emily said sarcastically, while Brian looked at her in surprise.“You are joking, are you not?” He asked Emily whose eyes were now welling up with tears.She broke down even before she could respond, with Brain staring at her without an idea of what to do.“It’s okay!” He tried to encourage her as he pulled her into a warm hug again.He couldn’t say why Richard was always hurting Emily. He had hurt her the last time before they met and had to go to Brian. And now, when things were meant to be easy, he was acting up again.“Are you confident that Richard loves you?” Brian suddenly asked Emily, who looked up abruptly.“Of course, he does!” She replied, with every conviction in her voice.“I’m uncertain if he loves you”, Brian interjected, willing to start the argument if tha

    Emily walked into the house to meet Richard, who was pacing around the room, clearly in a state of worry.She ignored him and walked past, heading straight to her son’s room. The only thing she needed to do was to confirm that he was doing okay, after which she would return to her quarters and have a nice rest. The day had been hectic and the last thing she needed was someone who would add up to the heat and tension she was feeling already.“Emily! You would just walk past me without uttering a word?” Richard asked with clear shock written on his face as he gazed at Emily, who didn’t wear an indifferent look.“I just want to wish my son a good night of rest. He is the only important thing I have in the world now”, she said defiantly, causing Richard’s mouth to open slightly.She meant it, though. Her son was the only person who hadn't judged her, mistrusted her, or tried to put her in trouble. For now, he was the only reason she kept pushing through, even though she was losing out e

    Different thoughts went through her mind as she thought of the perfect response to give to him. He was mad at her, and she was at fault.“I’m sorry. I called him because I needed someone to talk to”, she said sincerely, while Richard scoffed and started laughing aloud.“You called a man who loves you because you wanted to talk to someone?” Richard asked and sank into the couch in misery.“I’m sorry if my act angered you. I honestly didn’t want to take the bracelet, but I was certain that he would feel bad if I didn’t”, Emily stuttered as she lowered her eyes to the ground.There was something else, and she didn’t know how to lay it across to him. How was she supposed to tell Richard that Brian has kissed her?That was a heavy burden in her heart. Because she was certain that Richard would never look at her the same way if he discovers that something like that happened.“I don’t know what to believe again! I’m blank. You left the house to run into the arms of another man. Tell me, do y

    The moment Richard walked out of the living room, Emily was blank on what to do. She ran into her son’s room and started crying the moment she got there. Almost immediately, her son started crying as well, and it was as though he felt the pain of his mother. Numerous things went through her mind as she wept. First, she thought of Barbara and why she would be mean to trail her and take pictures of what went on in her day.And then, she thought of Brian and somehow started suspecting him. They had just finished concluding to be friends without feelings or any emotional attachment, but barely a minute after that, he kissed her. Everything was too much to handle, and her head was aching already. She couldn’t decipher why everything had to be against that one thing she wanted, which was love. All she craved for was a happy home, with a man, she loves and her child.She didn’t feel any iota of guilt pertaining to his marital status. He wasn’t in a happy marriage and each time, Barbara bro

    Barbara walked into the studio of the television station that had invited her for an interview. Actually, she was not invited to one. She had used her position in the society to secure an interview there because that was what she wanted. She planned it all along because she was ready to bring down Richard and Emily. Likewise, she had watched them the moment they got done with their press conference. A lot went through her mind that period, but she resolved that the best thing to do was to keep mute and create some issues, after which she would return to have a press conference that would shatter them to tiny pieces.“You’re welcome, Barbara!” The television host greeted her with a smile that Barbara reciprocated immediately.She was wearing her innocent expression that would make anyone fall in love with her, or want to stand with her. She had her means of doing it, and she did it perfectly.“We would dive right into the topic for the day. After your husband and his mistress came up t

    Richard stood to his feet and paced around. He had been getting several calls and none of them were helping him presently. Just then, his phone rang again, and reluctantly, he picked it up.It was a call from Mike.“Sir! Have you seen what is going on?” Mike asked the moment Richard picked up the call. Richard sighed deeply and dug his hands into his hair. Of course, he saw what was happening…Barbara had gone to the press and turned the entire story against him. And it happened in a period where there was a right between him and Emily.“I saw it!” Richard replied, clearly uninterested in whatever conversation Mike was willing to start.“This is bad! This is a big blow to you and your reputation. I always knew that Barbara would have something big on her sleeves! How could she say that he is not your son?” Mike asked from the end of the call, while Richard inhaled sharply.“I honestly don’t know what to do”, Richard finally said as he sighed deeply and sank into the couch.“Many peo

    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

    - 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
