“Get out,” said Joshua. “What?” asked Megan. Joshua looked over at her and said, “Get out!” Megan’s breath quicken in anger. She opened the passenger side of the door and exited the vehicle. Joshua drove off with the car’s tires screeching. “Humph!” stomped Megan. It was nearly dark when Megan got back to her place. Megan unlocked her apartment and walked in with a huff and a puff. She was pissed off that Joshua kicked her out of his car halfway to her home. “That jerk!” shouted Megan. Megan unzipped her dress but it was stuck. She couldn’t undo the zipper. In anger she toss her purse onto the table. She couldn’t believe that she was humiliated by Emily. Again she was second best to her her. Shame by the woman who took everything from her. Angry and frustrated she started to toss her room. She started pacing around the room as she was running out of money. “That bitch ruined everything!” exclaimed Megan. “Now, now, what made you so angry?” asked a man in the corner of the r
Joshua enter Emily’s room and sat down on her bed. He laid down where Emily would always sleep. On nights when he sneak in her to see that’s she’s resting comfortably, she would wrapped herself in his jacket or shirt. She would held his piece of clothing close to her and fall asleep.Joshua smiled at the thought of seeing Emily holding onto his piece of cloth."How I wish you really do miss me as much as you pretend to," he thought. Memories of their past came tumbling through his mind.FLASHBACKIt was a bright and sunny day.Joshua was fourteen years old. His grandfather and him went out that weekend. They were out fishing on the grand lake. His grandfather brought his boat and they were going to drift along the shore catching some bass and catfish for breakfast. After that they were going to rest up in their cabin and enjoy the afternoon. Once they’re done they were going to watch the sunset under the evening sky.It was early in the morning when they were unpacking.“Grandfather,
“Like more handsome?”Emily burst out laughing. “No.”Joshua also laughed and clicked his tongue and said, “Hey I got you to laugh there.”Emily smiled at him. She thought, “You are pretty cute though.”Joshua smiled back at her. He handed his hand to her and said, “Come on.”Emily frowned. “Where are we going?”“To my grandfather. He’ll help you find your way back home.”“Um, my grandfather told me not to talk to strangers,” said Emily, backing away from him.Joshua smiled and leaned into her.Emily gasped at their closeness.“Strangers, I’m hurt. We’ve been talking all morning long and you consider me a stranger.”“Ah. Oh. I-I. I didn't mean- Um... I’m sorry.”Joshua chuckled and said, “Alright. I will take that apology this one time only because I’m feeling sorry for you being lost.”Emily nodded.“Not to mention you insulted of not being handsome too.”Emily looked at him with a sad look.Joshua laughed and said, “I’m kidding. No need to look so upset.”Emily smiled at him as he w
“Emily,” said the front receptionist. “Yes?” questioned Emily. “There’s a man by the name of Joshua waiting for to meet you.” “Joshua?” “Yes. Joshua MacClare.” “Oh.” “Yes, ma’am. He said you would know him if I tell him your full name.” “Humph. What does he want?” asked Jordan. Emily put up her hand and walked around the corner. There she saw that it was indeed Joshua. He was waiting in the front desk. He had a basket of flower with him. “Tffft,” she scoffed. “Ma’am?” asked the receptionist. “Let him wait.” “Okay.” Emily stopped and turned around. “If he asked just say that I’m here but I’m busy.” “Alright.” Emily turned around and walked away. She pressed the elevator button to come to the floor. “Oh, that’s a first time that you rejected seeing your lover,” said Jordan. “Ex-husband,” said Emily. “Right.” Emily remained quiet as the elevator door ding opened. She stepped into the elevator and watched as the elevator door closed. “I’m sorry sir, but our CEO’s grand
“Emily,” said her secetary. “Yes?” “It’s about nine o’clock in the evening. I think you should go ahead and go home to rest.” “Wow, is it that late already?” “Yes.” “Alright,” said Emily. She got up and got her purse out of the drawer. She turned off the lights and walked out of her office. When she got down the elevator and was about to exit the main building’s entrance she noticed Joshua. Joshua was waiting for her at the front entrance. He seemed to be pacing around the reception’s desk. Emily frowned as to why he was still there. As she got closer she noticed that he was looking rather anxious. This is the first time she have ever seeen him so nervous. Knowing Joshua before, he was not the patient man to wait upon her. He is more of the man who would blew up the moment he have to wait any longer. That’s why if she was to take too long on getting ready he would just leave her. At least that’s what he did in the past. Emily didn’t think that he waited this long for her. Tha
When Joshua came home, he sat back down on Emily’s bed. He laid himself back down on the bed. He turned to his side and pretended that she was sleeping next to him. He said, “Emily, I really missed you. How I took you for granted.” He closed his eyes and another memories flashed through his mind.The next following morning he took the basket of flowers and went outside to the garden. He then put the flowers he plucked for her and dug holes and replanted them back into the ground.“What are you doing, young master MacClare?” asked Butler Shawn.“Planting,” replied Joshua.“Planting?”“Yes.”“What?”“These flowers.”“Huh?” asked Butler Shawn, leaning over Joshua’s shoulder.Joshua was digging holes with his hands and putting the flowers into the hole and burying the tip of it.Butler Shawn frowned as that is not a way to plant flowes and there is no way those flowers would survive being planted in like that without any roots.Joshua made space and planted every flowers from his basket.
“Come on, it’s getting late, grandfather must be worry sick about us.” “Alright,” nodded Emily. Joshua was leading them the path back to the cabin. “Oh, looks like your family is here to pick you up,” said Joshua. Emily saw a car and became sad. She didn’t want to leave yet. She’s been here with Joshua and his grandfather for a day now and she liked it. She liked the peace and quiet. They were both kind and sweet to her. She was happy. “What’s wrong?” asked Joshua. Emily didn’t know how to tell him that being here with him have made her happy. She was stressfree. His warmth, gentlness, and kind words have made her feel at home. She was aching for more. She didn’t want to leave him yet. Joshua stepped in front of her and said, “What’s wrong little one?” Emily didn’t know what to say and said nothing. “Do you not want to go home?” “I do.” “Then why aren’t you excited about meeting your family again?” asked Joshua, leaning into her. Emily gasped at his closeness. She looked i
“Ouch,” cried Emily. She was rubbing her hands. “What’s wrong?” asked Joshua, he ran back to her. “I fell and scrapped my hands.” Joshua lifted her sleeves up and saw that she was indeed bleeding. Her skin was scrap and some of her skins were peeled back. He blew on her elbows to try to help ease her pain. “Ouch,” said Emily. “Stop moving,” said Joshua. “But it hurts.” “I know, that’s why I’m blowing on it.” Joshua leaned into her and blow on her hands again. Emily looked at him and was admiring his handsome face. How close he was to her. She smiled and the pain in her hands was suddenly gone. “Come on, let’s go. There’s a first aid kit in the cabin.” Emily nodded. Joshua stood up and helped her get up on her feet. “Ow,” groaned Emily. “What’s wrong?” asked Joshua. Emily bent back down. Her knees were also scrapped and she was bleeding. Joshua gasped. “Oh, your bleeding.” Emily nodded. “Come here.” Emily walked to him. Joshua in one swoop lifted her into his arms. “
“Emily are you sure you don’t want the epidural?” asked Joshua, biting his nails.“NO! I want this to be an all-natural birth. “After this one I will have it,” groaned Emily as another wave of contractions was coming.“Okay, let’s do this little one. Let’s bring our baby into the world.”Emily nodded while trying to hold back her voice.After an hour of labor their first born cries echoed the room.“How is she so quiet?” asked Vicky. She was pacing back and forth.“You weren’t?” asked Beatrice.Vicky shook her head. “I was screaming bloody hell.”Daniel was laughing at Vicky’s comment. John cleared his throat and said, “Some women tends to find it more reserve on not screaming.”“Well, I guess I wasn’t,” said Vicky, biting her fingernails. The nurses and doctors were all coming out of the room. “Have the baby come yet?” asked Daniel.One of the nurse who was attending to Emily’s need answered, “Yes.” Everyone was exclaiming with joy. Thirty minutes later Joshua brought out the ba
“I’m scared,” said Emily. She was looking wearily at Joshua one morning in their bed.Joshua woke up to Emily’s worried voice and said, “What are you worry about, little one?” He stroked her hair to try to soothe her. Last night he heard her groaning and moaning. He thought she was just having a bad dream, but it turned out it was contractions. She was going into labor. He was surprised that she was handling it rather well. Even he himself was surprised that he was handling everything rather calmly.In his head he imagined it a hundred times of seeing Emily going to labor and having contractions. He see himself as panicking and worrying himself half to death. But he knows that he needs to be the one who will have to remain calm to ease Emily’s worry away. It’s her who’s going into labor not him. He doesn’t have to deal with any pain or bleeding so he should do his best to relax. He needs to be her strength. This is the part where she needed him the most.“Joshua?” asked Emily, grippin
During the time of their announcement the whole world have come together and congratulated Joshua and Emily on their engagement and baby news. It shocked everyone at first that the one marrying Emily was not Jack but Joshua. Some fans were angry and upset that Joshua had stolen Emily. Joshua, however, claim that he has never stolen Emily, for she was always rightful his. for stealing Emily. He told the world of his love for Emily and how they met and how he fell in love with her. His long time love and commitment to her was indeed touching.Jack also took a stand and explained that it was staged to find the culprits who were set to ruin the Watson’s future. And with the help of the news and media spreading words of the false claims of Megan and Gary’s deceptions society have fully understood their reasoning.Everyone from everywhere agreed that Joshua was indeed a perfect fit for Emily, who’s the only living heir to Daniel Watson. The man who created everything from nothing. His money
“This calls for a celebration,” said Daniel.“Yes, it sure does,” said Jack. He took out some shot glasses and poured some liquor into them. He handed everyone a cup.“Umm,” said Emily, she looked at Joshua as the liquor brought back horrible memories.Joshua noticing Emily’s grim look said, “Don’t think too much, it’s your family. They wouldn’t drug us. Or try to do anything horrible.”Emily tried to wave their past aside.Joshua tightened his hold on her and said, “Plus, it’s to congratulate us,” he whispers.Emily’s face brightened at the comfort of her husband’s words. “You’re right, it’s time we let go of the past.”“Yes, let’s start anew yeah?”“We should. It’s been a very, very long time and it’s about time that we both moved forward.”“Yes, from this day forward no more secrets.”“Alright.”“Cheers!” exclaimed Jack. He down his cup of shot and so did everyone else.“Whooa!” came Jame’s shocked voice of the strong liquor.“That is good, but also deadly,” said Jordan. “I need so
“Of course, heaven-” said Daniel sounding excited and also frustrated as he couldn’t wait any longer for the results. “You two now waving around the baby’s gender in front of an old man’s face making me eager to know. And if you two aren’t going to tell me, that is just cruel. Especially leaving me like this, hanging, I can’t bear it. Absolutely not. I have to know,” grunted Daniel, with much need to know if it’s a boy or a girl.“Alright, let’s do it,” said Emily. “Everyone is here.”“That’s right,” said Vicky stepping behind Joshua and Emily.“Mother,” said Joshua.“Vicky,” said Emily.Vicky looked at Emily and corrected her, “Mother.”“Oh, mother,” said Emily, smiling at Vicky.“Go on, let us know what you two are having?”Joshua flipped through the paperwork and frowned.“What?” asked Vicky.“What?” questioned Emily, following Vicky’s same word.“What is it?” asked Daniel, nearly shaking with excitement.“Go on, do tell,” said Beatrice.Emily leaned into Joshua and saw the photo a
“Emily!” exclaimed Daniel. He hugged his granddaughter with open arms. “Oh, thank god you’re safe.”“Yes. I’m alright,” said Emily, with saddened eyes.“What’s wrong?” asked Daniel, noticing her teary expression. He looked at Joshua. Joshua sighs as Emily was about to tell him what she almost did.“Grandfather, I almost- I almost made a mistake last night.”“That is-”Daniel, doing what he usually does, held up his hands and said, “Stop! I don’t want to hear about it. As long as you and my great grand kid is fine, that’s all that matters.”Emily bit her lower lips as she wanted to tell him but since he didn’t want to know she was relieved as she didn’t have to disappoint him with her near failure of a granddaughter’s actions.Joshua held her closely against his body. “It’s alright Emily. He forgave you.”Emily nodded her head.“Emily, you’re really a headache. I swear, raising the five boys was not even as hard as raising you, the only girl among the family,” said Daniel, pointing his
There was a loud knock on the door and Joshua woke to the sound.“Who’s that?” asked Emily. She pulled the blanket over her naked body.“I don’t know,” said Joshua. He got up and said, “Stay here.” He went to peek out the window. It was her uncles and her grandfather.Emily was looking around for her clothes, but they were scattered all over the floors and she was picking them up one piece at a time to put them on.“Your family is here,” said Joshua, kissing her on the forehead.“What? Really?”“Yes. Put on your clothes. I will go talk to them.”“Alright,” said Emily, putting on her bra and slipping on her thong.“Joshua, you won’t- You won’t argue with them, right?”“No, but I do need to let them know that I intend to make my vows in front of them.”Emily smiled sweetly at him.“I intend to keep you. No more separation.”“Okay, I will follow once I’m done.”Joshua nodded his head. He put on his sweats and didn’t even bother to put on his boxer. He slipped his jacket over him and walk
Emily stepped into the water. She felt her baby kicking as her feet touched the cold water. She started to tremble in the freezing water. Last year during this time Joshua saved her from drowning. How she wished he didn’t. Maybe if he didn’t, she wouldn’t have hurt so much as she is today. Her legs edge her into the deeper end of the water. Joshua, seeing Emily going into the water, panicked. She can’t swim. “Oh, what if she is trying to commit suicide. Is she trying to take herself out by drowning?” he questioned. His heart races as he thought of seeing her lifeless body floating in the water. Fear gripped his heart. He ran to her with every ounce of breath he had. Taking off as fast as he could like a shooting star. He was screaming out her name, “EMILY!”Emily froze as she thought she heard Joshua’s voice. But then a faint smile came upon her face as she thought it wasn’t him. It was just her imagination. He couldn’t be there. Not in a million chances. After what he said to her th
“Huh? Done what?” questioned Joshua. “She text all of us about leaving,” said John, walking behind Jack. “What?” asked Joshua. Then suddenly his phone ding. He also got a message from Emily. On the message says, “I am leaving. Don’t look for me. Don’t search for me. I will be with my baby now. Love Emily. Joshua shook his head in confusion. This morning, they were just talking. She didn’t say anything about going anywhere. And if she did, she couldn’t have gone far. She wouldn’t do anything to harm herself or her baby. She love that little growth inside of her as much as she loves him. She wouldn’t do anything to make the both of them regret. That is especially him. Then he thought back to what Emily said to him before he left. “Oh no, is she really going to make me live a life of regret?” he thought. “What happened?” asked Jack. “What do you mean what happened?” questioned Joshua, wanting to punch the shit out of this man. “Emily was so happy this morning that she was going t
