Narrator’s POV—
Emily felt good for being able to take care of Leona! For the majority of her life she has lived alone with her mother, though Linda was there but only as a friend and that too they spent time earlier only for a few hours. Only recently they have started to live together in Odessa. But despite the love from her mother and her best friend Linda, Emily always felt a hollow in her chest, remembering the baby she has lost when she was Clara!
For others it might seem like a story but for Emily the memories were no more just flashes but those were as vivid as her recent life! She could feel the pain as raw as recent and same could be said for her love and her losses!
When she took care of Leona she felt just like a mother showering her love to her lost baby! She made the bed for Leona, combed and braided her hairs and then fed her medicines given by Dr Dylan. She also heated some milk and gave her a glass.
“Now, d
Narrator’s POV—Emily and Adrian sat at the administrator office together. The administrator, Mr Michael was sweating already seeing Mr Adrian William Ford sitting at his office.“I am pretty shocked myself Mr Adrian Sir… I think it was just a prank by some other kids and they might have not realised it! Why don’t we do something….like let Ms Leona relax at home for as long as she wants and I will handle the attendance part? I can even arrange for scholarship…err…. I mean assistance on her study under scholarship program. I didn’t really mean scholarship which you can always arrange since……..” Mr Michael wiped his forehead with his handkerchief and continued, “Since Royal High is already owned by you…Sir…but I can arrange special classes and teacher’s assistance sir…I mean…” Mr Michael kept sweating profusely and drank a glass full o
Emily’s POV—It is true that things have moved really fast between me and Adrian, which must look suspicious to others, especially Linda who knows exactly how Adrian has bullied me earlier and hence she only meant to look out for me as a good friend!“Emily, I want to know right know exactly what is going on? How did you have an injury on your hand, why did you have to stay back in the Ford Mansion and why suddenly you are Adrian became girlfriend and boyfriend?” Sella asked taking a seat on one of the sofa’s and poured tea for all of them.Emily sighed. “Mom, I will tell you everything! But I am not sure how it will sound to you!” Emily exchanged a glance with Linda and saw her shaking her head and glaring at Emily! Linda was gesturing her not to tell about Edward and all to Sella.“Ok. You better start because I am really getting worried here!” Sella said as she sipped her tea.&
Narrator’s POV—While Sella prepared lunch for them and Adrian too, since he said he would return for Emily, Emily and Linda have gone upstairs to do their girl’s talk.They sat on Emily’s bed with the door shut.“Did you plan to tell Sella about your past life Emily?” Linda gasped.Emily bit her lips nervously and replied, “Yes. It would be much easier to explain things!”“Yes, yes, definitely! Because then she will think that you have lost your mind and will send you to a mental asylum!!” Linda mocked and whisper yelled.“You are over thinking and exaggerating the matter. Why won’t my mom believe me when you believed? Or do you want to say that you still don’t believe about Clara and Edward?” Emily rolled her eyes and asked.“Of course, I believe you because I have seen the things hidden, with my own eyes! By the way where did you
Adrian’s POV—It has been three weeks since Emily has accepted my proposal though I didn’t yet get engaged to her. I want the cottage to be ready before that! Leona has resumed going to school though I and Emily couldn’t find out who was behind the incident!But today I have come to Dad’s office before going to the academy. I have asked Emily and Linda to go to academy by themselves. Yes, usually since the day after we got engaged, though we didn’t engage rings, I have been picking up Emily and Linda on the way to the Academy and after the classes and practice got over, I and Emily have been going together to pick up Leona from school. After spending the whole evening together, I would drop Emily to her home. The schedule has been very much same and I have even stopped going to parties with my friends! Liam, Leonardo, Donald…and others have been very much annoyed and they think that I have changed! I have only sp
Narrator’s POV— Elise was extremely jealous of Emily and she always looked for ways to humiliate her! She wanted to corner her gradually to the point that she would fear Elise and leave Adrian! Though Elise knew about the planned engagement, she couldn’t shake off the jealousy when she imagined how everyone would soon know Emily as Adrian’s fiancée rather than her! She was also afraid that Adrian would fall for Emily! Adrian was a playboy and he has slept with several women and many were even known to her! But Elise has been with him constantly since last three years. By nagging him and also because of their family association, Elise has been able to be seen with Adrian and the entire academy knew her as Adrian’s girlfriend, though Adrian never said so himself! It was self-proclaimed by Elise who never felt threatened because who would know better than her that Adrian took interest in women only for sleeping with them! Had he been a relationship type g
Emily’s POV— “Adrian please! I can just go home and change!” Adrian brought me to a posh shopping mall and was pulling me inside one of the top branded designer dress shop! It felt good definitely to feel the warmth, protectiveness and love of my Edward again, but still, I didn’t want him to spend his father’s money on me, like this! “Will you call me that?” Adrian spoke without turning his head towards me. Obviously he was walking ahead with his long legs while I was following him like a love sick puppy! “Honey! Stop!” I whisper yelled and his feet halted! He slowly turned towards me and had that smirk which always gave me a mini heart attack! He closed the distance between us in one step and holding my waist pulled me close to him. “I love to hear that endearment! Use that often!!” He whispered. “Honey! Why don’t you take me to my house and I get changed? I am not comfortable with you spend
Narrator’s POV— While Adrian and Emily re-joined the academy happily, Elise was sitting in an empty class with Adrian’s friend, Donald and plotting against the couple! “I just can’t tolerate the bitch!” Elise slammed her hand on the desk and said. Donald sighed and asked, “What do you want from me Elise? You know very well Adrian and I are not in good terms since I leaked that picture of Emily!” “So, what will you do about it Donald??” Elise was sitting on a desk with her legs on the chair while Donald sat on another chair. Elise bent over and hissed, “I can’t believe that you are going to let the matter pass like a coward!! Won’t you seek revenge?” Donald’s fists clenched and he said in a rough voice, “I can’t do anything even if I want to! He is Adrian fucking Ford, Elise! Not just any normal guy!! I don’t know what is wrong with him that he punched me and beat me up for a mere poor and miserable girl!! He doesn’t even spend t
Narrator’s POV— “Daisy! Have you prepared anything for them to eat? Diana is my childhood friend and her grandson is coming here for the first time!” Mrs Murdock said as she sat in a rocking chair in her room! She is very old and also alone! Her only son stays far from Odessa! He has urged Mrs Murdock to stay with him but Mrs Murdock couldn’t leave the old house! “Don’t worry Mistress! I have made cookies, muffins and also other snacks, if they wish to have!” Daisy said. “Alright. Good then. Now go and prepare some tea! It is already time for them to arrive!” Mrs Murdock said and as if like a blessing the doorbell rang and a wide smile appeared on her face. “It must be them Daisy! Go, go and open the door!” Mrs Murdock sat straight supporting her weight on a cane stick as she waited eagerly for Diana! She was more than seventy five years old but she looked somewhat in late sixties! Soon Diana Ford entered the room along with Dais
Six months have passed and finally it was a similar night when all the family members were having a fun weekend together. Sebastian and Edith have also joined them! They were engaged now! Adrian clinked his champagne flute with a spoon drawing everyone’s attention as they sat in front of the Cottage in the woods enjoying a nice picnic. “Okay everyone, attention please! Though it has become quite normal for us to have fun on many weekends like this, yet today’s dinner is special because I have a special announcement to make! Emily’s jaws dropped hearing Adrian and she was a blushing mess! Edith who has become close friend to Emily noticed her blushing face and whispered, “Why are you so red?? What’s going on?” “I…” “So, I would like to share a good news with you all and that is……” Adrian looked teasingly at Emily and his heart skipped a few beats seeing her blushing face! “I am ….going to be…a father again!! Emily my beautiful wi
Narrator’s POV—“Daddy! I have never been on an aeroplane! It was so big! We all were flying and then Zooooommm!! And I was feeling tikles………”“Oh yeah?”“Yes! In my stomach! Here……when the plane was moving up”Emily smiled looking at Adrian who walked in front holding Arian in his arms towards the exit. She was behind them. Coming back to Odessa after more than three years now was a very big decision for her! She has many good memories of Odessa. It is the place where she has found Adrian, her lover from her past life! Also it is the place where she has conceived Arian!But at the same time most of the worst memories were also those which she has faced here! The way Adrian treated her when she first arrived in Odessa and then the way he pretended to remember their shared past and love her for months only to throw her out after humiliating her! Even tho
Narrator’s POV—They all saw the only very old picture of Philip which was not quite recognizable though all three of them recognised him clearly! Not only that, his cruel and dirty face stirred a lot of nostalgia and sadness!“For us it is easy but I don’t think it will be that easy for someone who has just seen his picture! That too this kind of black and white old picture!” Adrian said.“It is true. And I don’t think that we should think too much about it now. Anyways, he can be anywhere and anyone! I mean you two are born with the same features but look at me! You guys never would have known about me if I didn’t tell you! God knows how Philip looks! And if by chance Mrs Murdock has really seen him, then it is clear that whenever we come across a person even vaguely similar to him, we should be cautious! That’s all we can do!” Sebastian said.“Yeah….but still seeing
Narrator’s POV—It was nine in the morning when finally Emily woke up yawning and stretching! And as soon as she sat up she moaned sniffing the delicious smell of coffee closing her eyes! Like magic, Adrian walked in through the door with two mugs of steaming coffee in hand. He was wearing a navy blue sweat pants and a white t-shirt. His hair was wet and Emily just kept staring at him! To her it seemed like Adrian was more handsome each time she saw him!“Good morning baby! Did you sleep alright? Or….are you still exhausted from last night???” he winked at Emily before setting the cups on the night stand.“Good morning honey!” Emily blushed pulling the sheet to her neck to cover her naked self better.Adrian chuckled and closed the door before settling down on the bed beside her. “You know you may now relax and leave the bed sheet to hold the coffee mug.”Emily tucked the sheet un
Narrator’s POV— It was midnight when the friends finally decided to sleep. After being requested, Sebastian slept in the guest room in Adrian’s villa instead of going back. Adrian walked Emily upstairs to another room, where Emily could sleep with Arian. Arian was already asleep. “So, I guess, it is a good night then?” Adrian spoke through short breathes as heat between them was very obvious and it made him uncomfortable! He needed Emily in his arms to sleep peacefully! “I guess so. Good night Adrian!” Emily said in a soft whisper, pulling a strand of hair behind her ear. She was blushing thinking of the love making that they did in the afternoon! The close proximity of their bodies as they stood facing each other at the door and the mind numbing smell of Adrian’s body was not doing anything good to her! She could feel her wetness already between her legs and it meant another sleepless night! “Okay!” Adrian whispered and pulled her in his embrace, “I
Narrator’s POV—“Emily? You wanted my opinion on what you should do, right?” Sebastian asked looking at the confused Emily who nodded slightly. “Great! Then I need to have a talk with Adrian!” he said and then turning to look at Adrian, he added with a smirk, “Alone!”Sebastian stood up and walked in to the guest room and Adrian followed him quietly. He wanted his life back with his wife and son and if that means he has to tolerate Sebastian, he would! As soon as Adrian entered, Sebastian closed the door and stood in front of Adrian with his arms crossed!“Are you telling the truth, Edward?? Do you really remember your past life?”Adrian though was utterly confused by the Sebastian asked, as if he too knew his past life, yet he nodded and hissed through his gritted teeth, “Yes! I remember F*cking everything!”Sebastian’s face was calm and his eyes were coldl
Narrator’s POV—Adrian couldn’t help the grin on his face to appear, after Emily left the room. He then got dressed too and walked out of the bedroom to join Emily and Arian. Arian’s nanny was there so it means something was urgent!But as soon as he climbed down the stairs, he found no one around! The villa was empty and except for the warmth of his wife’s and son’s presence and the smell of the lunch, there was nothing left!“Arian? Mily?” Adrian looked around for them but they weren’t in the hall or the room where Emily slept last night! Then suddenly he noticed a note on the table.‘Seb has arrived early. I am going back to my apartment. Lunch is made for you and I will be back in the evening and make coffee for you! If you need before I return, fetch it from the café or make it yourself.Emily’Adrian’s face became dark at the mention of another
Narrator’s POV—“You and I will talk about this later! But right now, where will I get clothes to wear?” Emily was angry that despite there being clothes of her size in the house, she was directed to a closet with Adrian’s clothes and hence she had to wear an overlarge t-shirt and just her used panties! Also, she was hurt thinking if Adrian was really in love with her now, remembered his past and came for her, then why would he have women’s clothes in his house?“Alright. Come here.” Adrian pulled her to the other end of the room where there was another door. He slid it open and behind that was another walk-in closet. “Here. This is my side of the closet and there, that side is yours.”Emily was stunned seeing so many clothes starting from dresses, skirts, shirts, various tops, gowns, night wears, lingerie, shoes, purses and even jewellery! All were brand new and unused. Emily wanted to co
Narrator’s POV— Emily noticed how Adrian limped to the stairs. His clothes looked messy and dusty. She was worried but Adrian didn’t reply to her when she wanted to know what happened! Sebastian called earlier and he was supposed to reach in the afternoon and hence Emily decided to finish cooking lunch and then would go to her apartment to change and also receive Sebastian. She was almost done cooking because Adrian left angrily and returned one and a half hour. Should she go after him and check on him? She stood biting her lips unable to decide. ‘No! If he doesn’t want to tell me, why should I be so bothered? I shouldn’t get too attached.’ – Emily thought and decided to turn off the oven and leave. It was already 12 in the noon and Sebastian should be reaching anytime soon! Emily returned to the kitchen where the curry was on simmer and turned off the oven. “Ian? Can you go and ask Daddy if he needs coffee or something else to
