Richard found himself close to the meadows, and the mountain with a glimmer of light standing some feet away from where he stood.He walked closer, with a wide smile on his face and great enthusiasm for what he stands to meet at the mountain.Just then, he saw the lady with the black and long hair, swirling her body rhythmically and dancing with the wind.He could swear that it was the most beautiful thing he had seen in a while, and for a moment, he stayed still to admire her.She started singing melodiously, in such a way that caused cold shivers to run down his spine.He swallowed hard as his legs trudged towards her, willing to peer into her eyes to finally discover who she is.It was happening again, and he was certain that he had felt like this before. However, the difference was that he was at the verge of discovering who she is.“Hello”, he said as he tapped her shoulders lightly, causing her to swirl around abruptly.A gasp escaped her lips as her eyes met his and for a minut
“We are going somewhere”, Richard announced the moment he walked into the dining hall.Emily squinted her eyes and swiftly swirled around, wondering where and why they would suddenly go somewhere.“I’m sorry. I can’t be seen outside with you”, Emily replied with an unpleasant gaze, totally ignoring the shocked expression on his face.“Such audacity!” Richard muttered under his breath but kept mute and focused on eating his meal.Emily stood beside him, with a wobbly foot and a shaky breath.After some minutes, she recalled that her job roles didn’t include what she was currently doing.At that, she retreated and made to head back to her quarters.“And where are you going to?” Richard asked, still with his gaze lowered to the plate of mashed potatoes before him.“To my quarters”, Emily yawned tiredly, wishing that she could quickly disappear forever.He made her super uneasy and inasmuch as she swore to avoid having any weird or unusual feelings for him, she couldn’t stop herself from
“Rule number two, you would go out with me, whenever I wish and wherever I deem fit”, Richard continued, walking around her in circles.Emily clenched her fist in fury. She flicked her hair and took in a deep breath.Richard stared at her intently, watching how her hair moved.He made to blurt out how beautiful she looked, but then, he gulped down his words right before he uttered it.“Rule number three, you would be my secret goddess”, Richard dropped and for a minute, Emily thought that she had heard wrongly.“Secret goddess?” Emily asked with a tight frown.Richard nodded his head calmly, with a slight smirk plastered on his face.He loved how uncomfortable he made her feel, and the expression she gave was one he considered priceless.“What do you mean by secret goddess?” Emily asked, with her head swirling in confusion.That was definitely the weirdest utterance she had heard from anyone.Richard took in a deep breath and sauntered towards the living room.He sank into the couch a
The drive was quiet, with Emily glancing at Richard at intervals.She had no idea of where he was taking her to, and that caused a great deal of uneasiness.“I’m not comfortable with this. What if someone sees us together? They would quickly say that I’m a side chick or something like that”, Emily complained, with frustration written on her face.Richard chuckled the moment his eyes met the tight frown on her face.She looked gorgeous, and even a frown couldn’t conceal that.“You gave me a book some days ago, am I correct?” Richard asked as Emily drifted away in thoughts.Almost immediately, the memory flashed through her brain and she recalled how she had stumbled across something in a book.“I want to show you that some things are broken, beyond repair”, Richard added, with Emily’s eyes widened in shock.“Beyond repair?” She asked as she gulped down hard and fixed a straight gaze on him.He seemed to be playing around with words, and Emily didn’t seem to be having any fun with it.“
Emily’s eyes popped out of her socket the moment she caught sight of Barbara, who was impudent and bold in her current act.Her grip was tightened to the man and as they kissed each other, her eyes sparkled with excitement and satisfaction.Emily gulped down hard and darted her eyes to Richard, whose head was lowered to the floor.He stayed still, unable to react or utter a word. It wasn’t a new act anymore and at this point, he was used to it.“You see that?” He finally asked as he lifted his head to meet Emily’s surprised eyes.“That cannot be repaired. Nothing between Barbara and I can be repaired anymore”, Richard said with a scoff, after which he took in a deep breath and narrowed his gaze towards the window.He was weeping.Emily was dumbfounded the moment she turned back her gaze to Barbara, who was now staring at the river, together with her lover.Her heart ached for Richard. She wished there was something that could be done, but at this point, she was undoubtedly blank and w
“The last time I came into this room, Barbara nearly killed me with her dead glares ”, Emily said as she looked around the large room that had Richard’s portrait hanging in a corner.She smiled calmly, clearly pleased with his taste of furnishing and color.“Your room is beautiful and exquisite”, she commented, trying so hard to conceal how uneasy she was beginning to feel.After the episode at the river, Richard had driven her back to the house, but suggested that she visits his room.“Barbara won’t be happy if she finds me in your room”, Emily had tried to protest but kept mute immediately she felt a tight grip on her wrist.Without uttering any word, Richard had pulled her into the house and straight to his room, ignoring the puzzled look on her face.“I’m glad you like it, goddess”, Richard replied with a big smile that caused her heart to churn in uneasiness.She wondered why he insisted on calling her goddess, but after seeing how he wasn’t willing to change that, she decided to
“Come here”, Richard whispered with fire of desires burning in his eyes.“What are you doing?” Emily asked in shock, gaping at his bare chest and tiny nipples that seemed to be calling out to her.This was the very first time her eyes caught sight of a man’s bare chest in reality. She had seen a number of that on the screen via the television or phone.However, this was real, and she was only some feet away from where he sat.“Oh my God!” She whimpered, with her heart beating out of her chest and her palms becoming engulfed with sweats.“Come here”, she heard his voice again. This time, it sounded more domineering and fierce. It was filled with desires and yet, it was strong enough to pull her to him.She could have easily taken some steps backwards and fled out of the room. However, something inside her pulled her towards him and, like someone under a spell, she found herself doing exactly what he ordered her.“Richard, why do you have your shirt off?” Emily asked as she stood befor
Emily closed her eyes and when she opened them, she found his deep brown eyes gazing directly at her and admiring her bare chest.Her heart flushed, with a wide smile making way to her face.No man had looked at her in such manner, and she could swear that she was enjoying every bit of what they were doing.“What are we doing now?” She asked in a soft and innocent voice that caused Richard to chuckle.“We are going to make love”, he replied and leaned closer to her ears, licking her earlobes and muttering some inaudible words into soft and red ears.He kissed her, softly at first and then ferociously as he went further, exploring her lips and taking in the taste of orange.Emily was numb and laid still. She was blank on how to react or what to say in such a situation.But then, slowly, she loosened up and lifted her hands towards his back.She caressed it softly, opening her mouth wider and giving him full access into the pleasure.“You haven’t done it before, have you?” He whispered
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
Emily could smell her wedding in the air. Everywhere buzzed with activities and each day, she had different planners who came to fill her in on how her day was going to look like.She was now back at Richard’s apartment and she was going to be living with him until they got done with everything.“Today, you would be going to test your gown and choose your preference”, a lady who was in charge of the dress for the wedding said to Emily who clearly looked tired and exhausted. She was yet to really believe that she was getting married to Richard after everything. Somehow, it felt like a dream and she thought she would only wake up and see it’s not reality.However, as the days went by, she kept on realizing that this was happening and she would soon become his life and partner for life.The public on their part detested Barbara after what happened and Barbara disappeared into thin air. Probably with her lover who she claimed to be in love with. Now, Emily could feel that there wasn’t go
- 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
