Emily turned her head away as she too was ashamed of herself. She wiped her tears trying not to show her pathetic “It’s not what you think,” said Joshua. “Oh, really?” said Daniel. “Yes,” said Joshua, sounding firm.“Then do tell, because I’m eager to know.” Joshua’s brows narrowed. Daniel have been doing some background and investigating him since he found out about him, and Emily being married in the past. Some of the information he got still doesn’t make any sense but whatever he have now should be conclusive for his granddaughter to back away from this scheming man. Daniel smirked and said, “Because I know I have a lot of stuff on you.” Joshua’s brows narrowed to where he was frowning deeply. “Give it to him,” said Daniel, ushering Jordan to give him the proof of paperwork. Jordan handed the paper to Joshua, and the pictures of Joshua and Megan to Emily. Emily looked at the pictures and it was indeed Joshua and Megan. They were sitting on the benches together. They were
“You!” Megan raised her hand to slap her, but Emily grabbed her hand and slapped Megan hard across the face.“This is for the past,” said Emily, feeling proud of her slap. She then slapped her again making Megan flip her head the opposite way. “This is for all that you have done wrong to me.”Megan looked at Emily with shocking surprise and pretended to cry. She ran over to Joshua. “Joshua-”Joshua backed away from Megan, pushing her away from him. Megan fell onto the ground. She faked her pain and said, “Ow, Joshua how could you push me. How could you try to kill your baby.”John stared at Joshua with confusion. “This is the woman that he loves, so why act like this towards her? For a man who is supposed to be crazy in love shouldn’t be acting like this no matter how good of an actor he is. Is there something going on?” he thought. “Back away from me,” said Joshua. “Don’t touch me. You know that I could never touch you for I rash up every time I am touched by you. You know that I
After an hour Megan came out of the examination room. Then several hours later the results came out. “Here is the results,” said the intern.Megan smiled as it was the intern she bribe. The intern then made a quick glance at Megan as everything was successful. Joshua noticed the look but thought it was just an accident and didn’t think much of it at the time. “Alright, give it to me,” he said. John walked out of Emily’s room. Joshua turned around to eye John as he seemed to be frowning. Emily was walking behind him.“What is it?” asked Joshua. John put his hands in his pocket and said, “Well, let’s hear the result.”“Why do you care?” asked Joshua.“I don’t know. Just because we want to see that you didn’t do wrong to our little princess.”Joshua, not caring what they all thought, as he didn’t do anything like they all believed. He went ahead and looked at the results. On the paper it was stated that it was ninety-nine percent that the child was his. His eyes nearly popped out
The next following evening Joshua was outside Watson’s mansion awaiting Emily. He knows that Emily was just saying her words yesterday to get back at him. To get revenge on him, but there was no need for her to go that far for he didn’t do anything. He have to explain it to her when she is calm. He needs to get her alone with him. The peace and quiet he needed to tell her everything in detail. He had all of his plane tickets, every details of his whereabout during the time of the stay. His hotel room, camera of him going in and out of his suite. He had his own photograph and videos of himself every time he went out to see Megan. He even wore a wire every time they spoke. He can prove everything on his side, just not what Megan have that seemed so believable. For those were the times that he could not account the time for. Emily walked out of the Watson’s mansion with Jack by her side.Joshua frowned as to why they’re so close to each other again.Then all of a sudden, from all corner
It wasn’t until later that end of the month when Emily had stopped looking outside her window that Joshua appeared again. When she thought that he had finally left her for good he came back. He was outside the gate. And this time instead of the handsome and outstanding he is, he looked so rugged and tired. It was as if he didn’t have enough sleep.“What in the world happened to you?” she thought.Joshua’s beard had grown, and his eyes had dark circles. His hair was out of place. It wasn’t neatly combed like it always is. He wasn’t even in his suit. He was in plain t-shirt and jeans. Something she never saw him out of his norms. She thought it was rather odd and strange.Emily chuckled at her craziness. If he purposely dressed and looked like this this to get her sympathy, it worked. But it won’t take away the sadness in her heart. It won’t take the fire out of her chest. For she was finally over and done with him. She know have another one she have to care for. Someone who’s life is m
“What?” asked Joshua, with disbelief. He turned his head to Emily. Looking at Emily, searching in her eyes for the truth. To tell him that she didn’t sleep with another man. Using another man’s body to get over him. To erase all of their past. Using pleasure to get rid of their love. Emily turned her head away from him, not meeting his eyes.Joshua was hurt at her refusal to tell him that she hadn’t slept with Jack. He gathered up his courage and asked, “Emily tell me it’s not true.”“It’s the truth,” said Jack. He flipped Emily to her and kissed her on the lips.Emily even closed her eyes as she took in Jack’s kiss.“I’m not sorry. I’m not sorry for what I am doing to Joshua. This is payback. Payback for everything you put me through. Now with everything you put me through this is what I am giving in return to your betrayal,” she told herself as she embraces Jack’s soft lips.Joshua’s face paled. His heart stopped pounding. He stopped breathing. He couldn’t believe that Emily was s
Joshua couldn’t believe a word that Emily was saying. If she’s pregnant then could it be his? Could she have already been pregnant before? Is that why she fainted? Was it then that she known she was pregnant with his child. He gasped as it would make sense why she pass out last month.“Are you really pregnant with his child?” asked Joshua, walking closer to Emily.Emily was still holding onto Jack. Her other hand behind Jack was squeezing his shirt tightly.“Oh no. He’s coming to confine me for the truth. What do I do?” she thought. She was afraid she would spill the bean if she looked him in the eyes. The truth will come out if she stares into his mesmerizing gaze. She slanted her head away from him.“Tell me the truth,” said Joshua.“Don’t give in. Don’t say anything. Don’t let him know,” she thought quietly. She was starting to sweat in Jack’s arms.Jack, noticing her nervousness, said with a voice full of confidence, “Of course, it’s my child. She’s a month along. And with me bein
Emily touched her belly as she felt her baby moving inside of her. How time have flashed by and her baby is growing bigger and bigger in her stomach. Luckily, she wore a wrap around her, or else Joshua would really know that she’s further along than one month.For being only two months along, her belly was already showing. She was one of those woman who showed early in their pregnancy. Even if it was her first pregnancy, she still couldn’t hide that baby bump. She couldn’t hide it even when she hadn’t gained an ounce of weight. Due to the stressed she was unable to eat and drink well. Her morning sickness was terrible. Waking up to the smell of anything with too much odor. Only one more month to go and she will be out of her first trimester. During this time is the most vulnerable for her, thus she can’t risk anything to happen to her baby.“Baby, I’m sorry that I have to lie to your father, but I cannot let him know that you’re his own flesh and blood. I do not want you being raised
“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
