Chapter Nine

Emily

I stared at the machines, almost rusty and old, I turned them on and they were as loud as the last time I came here, before my father passed away.

I turned it off and turned to face Mason, he was standing beside me, a clipboard in hand, patiently waiting for my next move. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair in frustration.

“I think we are done for now,” I avowed.

“Are you sure Miss Emily?” Mason asked, his face filled with concern.

I gave him a warm smile that reached my eyes. “ Yes Mason that would be all for today and,” I paused moving close to him.” You can address me as Emily, enough with the formalities.”

Mason nodded curtly, his demeanor calm and respectful. “ Anything you say, Emily, I hope tomorrow is better.”

“I hope so too Mason,” I agreed, walking to the door.

    Chapter Ten Esther I sat in the wheelchair that was positioned near the window so I could feed my eyes on the beauty of nature. My gaze averted from the view outside my garden to the photograph resting on my lap. It was a photo of my dearest husband Owen, he wore a smile on his face, his arms stretching across my shoulders. Little Emily stood between us, she was no older than seven, her small frame wrapped snugly in a yellow sundress, and her smile was wide too, and genuine. I could almost hear the laughter that went along in the moment. I remembered everything as though it had just happened yesterday. “Ready? Say cheese!” the photographer cheered and we all smiled at the camera then the flashing light followed. Owen looked into my eyes and kissed my forehead holding Emily close, I would give anything to see Owen again. I swallowed hard feeling a lump in my throat, tomorrow was going to be his Eighth anniversary and it was hard to accept he died and left me in this cruel world

I waited for no explanation. I just walked towards her and slapped her hard on the cheek. I had expected her to be scared and apologize but to my surprise, she hit me back with so much force that made me fall to the floor allowing me to hit the table, leaving a permanent blush on my cheek.Robert did nothing but stand over me, blaming me for what

I was too busy chatting with Maeve trying to catch up on things I might have missed even though we spoke regularly on Skype while I was in Illinois.Maeve had changed, the last time I saw her physically she was little, not older than six, I was younger too, and seeing her all grown up still felt unreal, I'm sure she felt the same way too.Although her smile never changed, her eyes were still slanted whenever she smiled and she was still a foodie. She looked two times bigger than me now, I chuckled silently in my heart, I used to be the chubbier one and she was, slender but now the reverse was the case.Maeve glimpsed up at me with a smile on her face, her curls covering one part of

I concentrated on the sound of the nurses murmuring outside the door.The therapist stopped massaging my legs, she looked up at me.” Esther, can you stand on your own for three minutes?”I froze, he wanted me to stand straight without the support of my cane. It sounded like an impossible task, what if I fell to the ground and sustained an injury?“I don't think I'm ready to do that, I need the support of my cane.” “I want you to have faith in yourself, you can do it, Esther, you can walk again, you just have to believe in yourself!” the therapist encouraged.I shook

I took a glance at the clock and confirmed my worst suspicions— I had overslept again. I groaned loudly, raking a hand through my brown hair before throwing off the covers and dragging my feet out of the bed.“Good morning sir.” One of the maids greeted me as I stumbled into the kitchen.“Morning,” I muttered, grabbing the cup of coffee she handed me. The caffeine was meant to keep my brain active but for some reason, my mind was spinning. “Have you seen Emily?”“Yes sir, she left very early,” she replied, his voice neutral.I froze mid-sip. “She left early today?”“Yes, sir. She mentioned having something urgent to handle at the office.”I scoffed, placing the cup down a little harder than I intended. “Of course, she always does.”Ever since the night out at the club, she has been acting distant and weird, and her early departure confirmed it.

My reflection stared back at me, pale and frightened for my life and my unborn child.My hands drifted to my belly clenching it tight, the gentle curve beneath my fingers was barely noticeable to the eyes but I knew deep down that something was inside of me, something that would grow to become a blessing. But how do I say I wasn't ready to be a mother yet? Or maybe I'm scared of my mother's reaction especially after she had set me up with Mr smith.I brushed my curls out slowly getting ready for the new day.

    Chapter twenty-FourRobert I wake up to the ray of the sun heating the curtains casting a glow on my wife, Gianna as she lay beside me. Her back against me was like she was angry with me, but I wasn’t surprised ever since we got married. She had always been that way.I rolled onto my side resting my head up on one arm to watch her.“Hey, you are up,” I began slowly, my tone soft and friendly, trying to start the conversation in a light tone.Gianna opens her eyes and turns to face me. “It's hard to sleep with a lot of things on your mind.”I knew exactly where this conversation was leading to. It's been days since Emily, my niece, returned declaring her interest in taking over as the CEO of white Nova Robotics. The same position I've worked so hard to preserve all these years after the demise of my late brother.“ Emily is my niece, Gianna,” I stated softly, still trying to keep my tone in check.“She has been overseas all her life Robert,” Gianna cut me off sitting up in the bed, he

I swallowed hard as I pushed the door open to my office, Mason followed closely behind me, shutting the door softly, and the sound of its locking felt almost intentional. I looked up at him briefly as he stood in front of me.“Thank you, Mason,” I said, staring up at him, breaking the cold silence between us. “ for standing up for me back there when no one did. It wasn't easy and I know I've got a lot of work to do to prove myself to them that I would make a great—”“You don't need to thank me, Emily,” Mason began his voice low but serious. “ You deserve it, I think yo

I could tell she was nervous about today’s meeting and stunned at my words, anyone would be, it wasn't every day these things happened.Hanging out with your employee to a club then kissing him, then kissing you back.

It was thick with something sensual and steamy.I stared at Mason who sat across from me, his neatly ironed dark suit and tie stood out in the dark and my silver dress glimmered in the dark like the stars in the sky.The dress hugged my body so tight accentuating my slim waist and hips and the fabric felt so smooth against my body.It was the kind of dress one would wear to an occasion like this, an occasion that calls for celebration and happiness.A celebration of love.Mason stared at me intensely, his smile soft yet his eyes lingered on me with a look of admiration and lust.It was the kind of gaze you received before receiving a passionate kiss on the lips, or the kind where the love of your life is thrusting his cock i

She looked not older the twenty-three yet she oozed rum and whiskey, and it irked me deeply, why would a young girl at this age come to the club unsupervised, I still managed to force a smile, it was none of my business yet I was still angry that I had to be here all alone watching some group of drunk girls and boys display their stupidity.Or maybe I was just angry I wasn't having fun like they were, as if this scene wasn't enough two drunk couples stumbled out kissing each other with each step they took and this reminded me of my failed love story.My ex, Madi

This wasn't my first kiss but it felt different, the feeling that came with it was unexplainable.
