Clara’s POV— ( Past Life)
Edward’s face was worth watching when I said that I was carrying our baby!
“What did you say??” he pushed me back and asked tilting his head to look into my eyes, while his eyebrows were drawn and there was some confusion on his face. His expressions for a moment made me worry that he would be angry and not want a baby so soon! But anyhow I had to reply him!
“I….I said…I am pregnant!” I mumbled looking down sadly. I held my breath for the blow to come! His face which was full of concern a moment ago was stoic with narrowed eyes. I knew he would say, that we can’t have baby so soon!
“I am sorry…but..”
“You are sorry?? Are you that stupid? Or don’t you love me??” he frowned as he looked with shock at my face!
Was it such a great mistake that he won’t accept my apology even and call me a stupid? Did I purposely get
Clara’s POV— ( Past Life)“That night, we for the first time fell asleep in peace! Philip Highland has been asking about us in the adjacent town and Johnny and Uncle Frank had told us to lay low! Edward even didn’t go out to work anymore and always kept a watch!Since Edward had laid low for a long time, Johnny sent a messenger that night, stating that the men looking for us were leaving the same night and there would be no more danger! Meanwhile Mommy and Daddy were supposed to come the next day to visit us!I don’t know, why but that night when I was in my room along with Edward, I was continuously feeling uneasy, as if something was about to happen!! And I woke up to a very scary nightmare!!“Clara? Are you ok?” the man, my husband with beautiful green eyes said hovering over me. His bare chest was muscular and well-toned and on top of that he smelled so good. I sat on the bed sweating and panting with fear in
Narrator’s POV— ( Present)Next morning Emily and Linda left for the Academy together. At least that is what they told Sella! Emily was nervous and in great dilemma!Even if because of the complaint, Adrian was still connected to her! Even though he was causing all types of problems for Emily and harassing her, yet Emily had to face him for something or the other! But what would happen if she withdrew the complaint? Will Adrian ever even look at her? Now, even if with hatred he often looked at her! Even if to threaten her, he met her! But once there was no complaint, there won’t be any reason to see her anymore!Emily sighed! May be she would meet him sometimes in the Ford Mansion? Adrian lives there and she goes there for Leona! Maybe she will meet him there? Whatever it is, she didn’t want Adrian to hate her!After a short drive Emily and Linda reached the police station. Once the car was parked, Clara got off the c
Narrator’s POV— Adrian was enraged by Emily’s statement but there was a feeling more than just anger too! He was shocked! Why would Emily say something like that to him?? Why would she feel pity?? He stood flabbergasted for a few moments before returning to his car and driving away! He needs to sit with Mr Brad and discuss the way forward! It was afternoon and Adrian walked in the Ford Mansion. Mr Brad must have informed Mr Jason Ford about the incident at the police station because when Adrian reached the mansion, Mr Jason was waiting for him. “Master Adrian! Your father has requested you to meet him, in his study as soon as you return.” One of the maids Tisha informed him. Adrian narrowed his eyes and asked, “My father? Is he home??” “Yes young master, the master has not left for his office and has been waiting for you to return.” Tisha stood bowing her head when she spoke. “What about Mr Brad? Did he come yet?”
Emily’s POV—I kept staring at Adrian’s back blankly with my jaws dropped! What happened to him suddenly? After yesterday night, did he really feel bad? Did he really realise his feelings for me?? What was the meaning of the protectiveness at the police station and then again just now he proposed that I call Mrs Diana as Grams! He even wants to talk to me later?? Why? What does he want to talk about??“Emily?? Emily??”Would he again trick me just like he did last night??“Ms Emily??”“Emily??”“Yes! I am sorry, I was just… yes Grams?” I was so lost that I didn’t even realise when Mrs Diana and Mrs Gomz were calling my name! I replied finally when Mrs Diana pressed my knee.“Is something wrong Emily? Are you feeling well?” Mrs Diana asked.I now realised that I might have been having some beads of sweat on my forehead. I wip
Narrator’s POV— “Hey Li!!” Emily wished Linda as she walked in. She was in a good mood. “Hey Em!! Wow! Someone seems very happy??” Linda wiggled her eyebrows and giggled. “Emily, are you back girl??” Sella came out of the kitchen. She was preparing dinner. “Hi Mom!! Can you please make some coffee?? I know you are preparing dinner and this is not a good time for coffee, but I am just feeling like to have some!” Emily said, keeping her purse on the centre table and sitting on the sofa beside Linda. “I will make dear, but don’t make it a habit!” Sella pointed her index finger to Emily and said. “No mom!! I don’t drink coffee at eight o’clock every day!” Emily rolled her eyes. “Did you notice aunty, your daughter is happy today??” Linda teased. “Yeah….she really is!! What can be the reason Linda??” Sella also started teasing Emily. “Maybe a good raise??” Linda shrugged her shoulders! “Or, may
Narrator’s POV—“Coach! Can you change it please?” Elise said brushing her nose with the back of her hand and holding her chin a bit higher as a show of ego!“Please excuse us!” Emily said in a soft unconfident mutter.“Not yet sweety! First I need to resolve the matter with Coach! How dare you enter Adrian’s name as your partner??” Elise sneered at Emily.“Hello?? Who do you think you are to speak to her like this??” Linda stepped forward covering Emily.“Me?? Hahaha!! You must be kidding me!!” Elise snarled and snickered and her two bitchy looking friends chuckled. “First of all I am Elise Walker? The one and only daughter of Walker family?? And secondly, I am Adrian’s girlfriend and I dance with him every year since I have joined the academy!” Elise put her hands across her chest while she spoke and then pointing and waving her one finge
Narrator’s POV—Few days have passed and Emily as promised has spent a few hours with Leona on the weekends. Adrian has been acting all clingy and possessive towards her and has been touching her with all sorts of strange excuses! Emily did feel good about it but she was afraid too! She doesn’t want to fall in Adrian’s trap till he remembered everything about their past! If she did so, then like Linda warned her and also like Elise threatened and mocked her, Adrian will use her, have sex with her and then throw her away like trash! She can’t let that happen at any cost! Thinking all this Emily decided to resist and tolerate the pain of staying away from Adrian because it shall be worth the pain at last!It was a Thursday and Emily had an off day from work at the Ford Mansion today! She had been busy from morning to night last couple of days! After the classes in the academy got over, Emily had to practice dance with Adrian an
Emily’s POV—Mom left me alone with this man who has been causing so much trouble for me from the day one and at least one day I wanted to be able to spend time without him around! Of course he brought Leona, to make way to my room, avoiding my mother’s wrath!! But how come, Mom allowed him??Though I love him and I really have this strange feeling with butterflies appearing and flying in my stomach and my heartbeat increasing rapidly, yet at the moment I was feeling quite annoyed for the invasion of my privacy! I simply want to turn him out of the house or at least show my annoyance, but I can’t since Leona is here too!I didn’t realise when Adrian has started playing Beauty and the beast! I only noticed when I felt his arm wrap around me under the duvet pulling me closer to him! I frowned! He has already slipped under the duvet beside me. The moment I realised I stiffened and then dragged myself away from him but his
