EpilogueA few years laterJoe Wolford walked down the hallway. He'd never get used to the ceiling, which seemed to be alive. The drawings from the war they'd fought a few years earlier.It wasn't exactly a victory. He'd lost a lot. Emily wrapped her hand around his arm. He nodded at her. She'd been the one who helped him walk through his pain. She'd been his pillar. "It's beautiful", he said taking a deep breath. "But not as beautiful as me", she said. He laughed. "Yeah. You're the most beautiful woman in the world". "Most beautiful? Now you're too much", she said with a smile. "Most beautiful. In the whole wide world". They reached the end of the hallway. "Just a reminder. I never wanted to be here", he sighed. "It's his birthday, Joe". He sighed again. He'd never thought he'd meet the crocodile man from Club Go again. Now they were family friends. Emily knocked at the door. "Joe! ". Joe sighed again, feeling his heart sink. Emily rubbed his back. The door opened
Expensive bulbs illuminated the restaurant since it was late at night. So many people had come there to eat and relax themselves from the stress of the day. "It is over between us Joe! I am done!" Emily fired at Joe heavily.Joe couldn't believe his eyes, "you mean you called me here to tell me it is over?" He asked in disbelief. His heart shattered into pieces at an instant. "Don't you get it? You are just too broke. I can't be with a person like you! No… not any more," she emptied with disgust rustling out of her voice. The people in the restaurant could feel how disgusted Joe was, merely hearing Emily's voice. The people's attention was fixed on them, since they wouldn't stop their dramatic display. Joe couldn't say another word, he felt hopeless and empty within him. "I am sorry Joe! It is all over now," she said and was about walking off him. Joe couldn't control himself, he held one of her hands immediately.Emily paused her step, she looked behind her. Joe was looking at h
'How would she dump me like that,' He muttered within himself, because he couldn't just wrap his head around the whole situation.He looked around and it was like his world is crumbling down. 'Don't you get it! It's all over!' those words hurt him more than anything.He could feel the pain within his heart. It is as if she is just spuing those words. He stands up from his bed being fatigued, 'today is a very long day,' he retorted and went straight into his kitchen just to have something to fill his little tummy. 'Gosh!....Nothing is here,' he muttered after checking out his food storage. 'I shouldn't have consumed that much this morning,' he retorted with lots of regrets. 'What do I do now? Will I have to sleep with an empty stomach?' he asked himself. At the moment he is confused, due to what had happened to him earlier. He is destabilized.While he is still trying to weigh his options, his tummy starts rumbling like a pig rustling its sound.'I am damn hungry. I need to eat som
According to Joe's vision, one of the men asked him to come, instead of him being scolded, he was worshiped.'Is this how this vision will come to fulfillment?' he asked himself. But still, he is scared, 'what if it's the other way round? Gosh! I would be in soup,' he panicked. Still, he had to heed to their call. The hefty man's face was fierce and scary like that of a lion.The more Joe walked up to them the faster his heart beat. He had to control himself so that the vibration of fear wouldn't be seen all over him.He exhaled and inhaled gently to calm himself. Now, it's like Joe has just reached another height.Their looks didn't seem to intimidate him anymore, he walked towards them with courage.When he was at a very close range, the two hefty men bowed themselves to the ground.Joe was shocked, 'why would they bow themselves to me? Have they met me before? Or do I have an identity I don't know?' he retorted. The question in his mind continued to pile, just like a plain land ge
Joe couldn't believe what he just saw, 'if I am a seer, does that mean I just saw my future?' he retorted with fear rustling down his spine.Now that Joe has discovered who he is, his joy was short-lived with immediate effect, 'i am going to be broke soon,' he retorted. He glared at his room for a while thinking of how pathetic this world could be. He brings out his phone gently to look at his balance, 'ten million dollars,' he retorted with a sad gaze.He knew the ten million dollars would soon be gone. Everything continued looking like a dream to him, but unfortunately that was his reality.'How pathetic could this world be?' Joe's memory flashed to the early hours of the day. He remembered how happy he was earlier with the hope of being a millionaire forever.Joe remembered what happened few minutes back, he couldn't just believe how his eye vibrated, 'so this is what seers go through,' he retorted sadly. He remembered the flashes he saw, 'it is all over now,' he retorted with an
Joe's eye widened with shock. He couldn't just resonate everything at once. His head spanned through everything he had seen earlier.He spanked his head hoping he would snap out of it all, but he couldn't. 'Why am I a seer? Why!' he muttered severally.'Joe… calm down,' he retorted and sighed heavily, calming his nerves. As soon as his nerves were calmed, Joe remembered what he saw just now.'I musn't stand by and let this happen,' Joe retorted out of the love he still had for Emily even after what she did to him that day.After he had said that, it was as if Joe just got his senses back, 'what has come over me? Why would I be this concerned about her. Let her die if she has to, anyways she is not worth my pity,' he retorted. Joe couldn't forget what she did to him that day, he felt embarrassed and humiliated.Joe made up his mind not to interfere. He laid on his bed to sleep, but sleep wouldn't come.All that was on his mind is Emily, he couldn't stand not helping her out, anyways
Chapter SixEarlierEmily's POVThe atmosphere is booming due to the music playing.After gazing around the lit of the beautiful atmosphere, I can't but gush with my jaw dropped over this beautiful place. "I love it here, Luther."He looked at me and smiled. Staring right into my face he said, "I know you would love it here… that's why I brought you here in the first place."I couldn't hold that excitement that was within me. "You think you know my taste?" I had to ask, because I don't how he come to know this much about it.With smiles on his face, "common…. You know I have my eyes all over you," Luther quickly points it out to me so that it would be clear.I scoff gently, "don't let too many ideas get into your skull… you know I have a boyfriend…." I had to remind him.My eyes was fixed on him after I mentioned that. He felt disgusted and tired of me."Tell me, Emily…. Who on earth dates poverty?" His lips opened up gently when he rolled those words down his tongue.'Not again!' I s
Chapter Seven ~Emily's POV "Emily, are you with me?" That is the question he put to my face. "I am not with you Joe, you have to change your dress sense." 'Damn! I am so irritated,' that word went down my gut. All I wanted is for him to dress like a normal haman. "Look at me Emily," turning himself around, "this dress on my body is damn… I mean fucking damn okay," he said. Those words hit my ear and I felt like puking immediately, "WTF!" I couldn't stop myself from uttering that vulgar word. "What?" That's the question Joe put to my face. He is not getting my point at all and I am so pissed off. "Come on Joe, why are you like this?" I asked. "Like what, Emily. As far as I am concerned, this dressing is okay," he said. Right now, I am so frustrated. "You know what…Joe, get out of my room right now," I said pointing at the door. "Those words are harsh," Joe rolled those words down his tongue. That word he just uttered is damn irritating. "Do I look like I care?" I tend thos
