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
Richard woke up as early as 5:am. He barely slept all through the night. Apparently, that has been the situation ever since he had the press conference that involved Emily. He picked up his phone the moment he stood from the bed, dialing it abruptly and placing it to his ears.“Doctor, I would be on my way with him shortly. I want it to be as discreet as possible. You would also provide the results to me as fast and discreet as you can!” Richard said into the phone, after which he nodded his head to whatever was said to him from the other end of the call.“You’re the doctor I’ve known for a long time. I’m trusting you on this”, he said in conclusion, after which he ended the call and let out a deep sigh.Right there on the other side of the door, Barbara stood with her ears on the door. She had heard some movement from her room, and somehow suspected that Richard was up to something.That way, she sneakily went towards his room and just as she had thought, he was making a secret conv
Barbara walked into the hospital with a massive smile on her face; the type she wore whenever she was up to something evil. She barged into the doctor’s office and, unknowingly, he gasped in shock. She had that effect of causing people to gasp when they catch sight of her.The doctor was having a conversation with someone, but he quickly dismissed it to focus on Barbara, who was glaring at him as though he had done something wrong. “We had a deal on the call”, Barbara noted as she finally sat that and peered piercingly into his frightened eyes.“Look, I can’t do that. You are asking for something huge, and I’m beginning to doubt that I can help you!” The doctor said with a cracked voice as he shivered and gulped down hard. He didn’t understand why Barbara was on his neck to tamper with the DNA result. He saw that as a great form of wickedness and error to his profession. “Are you doing it, or not?” She asked coldly, staring at him as though she would kill him the moment he decides
Emily was on top of the moon in excitement. As she washed the dishes and cleaned the house, she could see a new hope and light coming into her life. Somehow, she had a strong feeling that an end was coming to all her life’s countless troubles. For the first time in a long time, she sang with her melodious tune, dancing rhythmically while doing the dishes in the kitchen. Richard was done getting dressed for the doctor's appointment. The moment he walked down the staircase, he held the voice of Emily who was singing and unknowingly, he went down memory lane.He remembered how he had dreamed of a strange lady who had a mellifluous voice and a long hair. And then, how he finally met the exact lady in reality at his favorite place that moment. Finally, he thought of the different things that had happened between them, the times she sang for him, and those times she warned him to stay away.He stood at the door now, and as he watched her, his heart gladdened in Joy.“How long are you going
Richard got back to the living room to meet Emily, who was busy with their son. Today was her day with him, and she was extremely excited to share every second of the day together with him. They were in the living room, clearly waiting for his arrival.He walked into the room and got welcomed by a warm hug and squeal of excitement. All through the years he stayed married to Barbara, she never welcomed him in such manner and this made him realize what he was missing out as a married man.He placed a soft kiss across Emily’s lips after which he gave her the flower which got her excited. She screamed in excitement, until her eyes shifted to the double envelope he held in the other hand.“Two envelopes?” She asked with a questioning glare, while he nodded and brought out the contents of the first.“This is the divorce papers! I can’t wait for her to sign on these and get done with me. Thoughts of her sends cold feelings down my spine”, Richard confessed, and Emily broke into loud laughter
Barbara got invited to a television show again, but this time, she didn’t come alone. She had a guest who she pulled along with her just as she came. She had gotten the call from the television station, who wanted to know how her marriage was coming against her career. However, Barbara had other intentions, and she would rather not come there to say something she didn’t deem fit to talk about.“Hello, Barbara!” The host greeted with a wide smile as she walked into the studio.“We’ve been waiting for you”, she added while Barbara shifted her gaze to Brian whose gaze was lowered to the ground.“Well! I was waiting for him”, she said and rolled her eyes, leaving them in a state of confusion.The host and other crew member exchanged glances with each other. They were shocked and surprised that Barbara came in late, and not only that, but she had also come in with a stranger.“Is he your driver?” The host stuttered as she asked. Brian threw a dead glare at her, and she quickly withdrew h
The loud sound of something shattering caused Emily to run out of her quarters and toward the living room of the main house. All through the day, she had been indoors, thinking of what to do and the next step to take. Richard was against her now. He didn’t even want to see her face. She was sure that Barbara was responsible for everything, but she wasn’t going to give up.Barbara had told her that she would place her in a situation where she would beg for death herself, but no matter how bad things were, she was not willing to fall into such a situation. “What the hell happened?” She screamed in shock when she saw the three flower vases shattered on the ground.Her eyes widened in surprise when she caught sight of Richard, who was making another effort to break another vase.She screamed and ran to him, but he pushed her off until she landed on the floor with a thud.Emily couldn’t believe her eyes. Richard was presently shattering everything in the living room and the baby was cr
