I watched him as I stood behind my father “Good to see you again, Mr Caleb.” Have your seat. “You're behind time, we both agreed to a certain time. You're thirty minutes late.” He said, staring at me intently. “I'm a wealthy man you know, I don't have any extra time to spare. Time, they say, is money”. He continued.“Your daughter I suppose?

BENEATH THE FACADEBehind the façade of wealth and power, a web of secret awaits.CHAPTER 2Emily's POVMy phone rang. I checked the caller ID. It was my best friend, Nyla Moreno“Hey bestie,” I said, yawning on the phone. I was just waking up.“My Emily,” Nyla replied as she fondly called me. “I'm sorry I was busy the whole week. We couldn't talk.” she added.“It's no problem dear. I totally understand.” I replied, reaching for the remote control.

BENEATH THE FACADEBehind the façade of wealth and power, a web of secret awaits.CHAPTER 1Emily's POVI knelt in front of my father sobbing loudly, as tears streamed down my eyes and mucus from my nostrils. “Father you can't do this to me, there has to be another way out. You can't sell me off like some sort of property. I'm human, your only daughter at that. I have emotions, I'm entitled to my life. You promised to always make me happy ever since mom died”. I sobbed loudly, my face swollen as I had been crying for a long time. I had lost my mom at a very tender age of five, that was many years ago but I recall the events that unfolded on the day she died vividly, as my dad had always told the story. It was a black Thursday, the 20th of December,1990, a few days to Christmas when my mum died after hours of child labor. My mum had suffered several miscarriages and my father rejoiced when she had carried her last one to term, but my joy and that of my father was only short lived.
