Enemies but lovers1 chapter 39
Chapter 39"What is going on here?" Emma heard a voice ask.She turned to give the person who had just arrived her full attention and saw that it was the director of the hospital."Who are you?" Brandon asked him with a bored gaze."Doctor Elijah. The director of this hospital." "Oh, that's nice. Another person to give a lawsuit." Brandon said with a slight smirk on his lips."Lawsuit? What are you talking about?" The director asked with a frown on his face."The lawsuit that will be on your desk soon enough." Brandon replied to him."There will be no lawsuit. I'm sure whatever this is, we can resolve it quietly, in my office." The director said to them."I don't really like closed spaces." Brandon replied to the director."And you are causing a scene here, how about we all act civilized and take this to my office. I'm sure we can resolve whatever is happening." The director said to them.Alec scoffed when he heard that. "Resolve my ass."But Brandon ignored the director and turned

Chapter 40"I need to see him." Emma said to Brandon as she wiped her tears."What?""I need to see my grandfather.""What? Why? You think anything good will come out of you going to see him?" Brandon asked her with a confused frown.It wasn't even up to an hour since the came back from the hospital and now she says she wants to meet with her grandfather?"Emma, you are not thinking clearly. Just take a deep breath and…""I know exactly what I'm thinking. I'm capable of sound thoughts and I know exactly what is going on. I don't need to rest or take a minute or two. What I need to do is confront my grandfather." She released a sigh and continued. "I'm tired of everything, Brandon. I'm tired of being used like a puppet and I had no idea that my mother had been dead…was dead for over a year. I've been going to the hospital and sitting next to someone I thought was my mother and I…I need answers and I don't want to rest, at least not today until I meet with my grandfather."Brandon stare

Chapter 41Brandon held Emma close as she cried her heart out."Why?" What type of daughter am I? I should have known. I should have known there was something wrong. I should have sus..suspected that something was wrong." She cried out."There is no way you would have known." Brandon said to her in a soft voice."But it was obvious. She's been dead for over a year but I had no idea. I even visited the hospital…I held her hands. I'm not worthy to be called her daughter." She cried out."It's not your fault." Brandon said to her as he rubbed her back with soothing strokes."But it is….I.." She could not get the words out as another round of tears poured out.No matter how hard Emma wiped the tears away, willing herself to be okay, it wasn't working. It kept on pouring and she had no control over it. Brandon did not let go of her, not even once. Even as they sat on her bed in the room she now claimed as her own, he held her close. As if willing her to cry her heart out. To let out all th

Chapter 42After putting a crying Emma to sleep, Brandon walked out of the hospital room and his family and friends were gathered.His mother spoke up first when she saw him. "How is she?""She…I don't know. She just went back to bed." He told her truthfully."What did the doctor say?" Kevin asked him."Apparently, we were having twins. She….we lost one." He told him.His brother released a deep breath and gave him a hug."I'm so sorry." She said to him,"It's okay. I'm just glad Emma's okay. And at least one baby is okay." He said to her trying to make light of the situation."Don't lie to me, Brandon." She said as she released him and cupped his face. "I'm your mother. You don't have to pretend to be okay in my presence. I know how hard losing someone can be.""Mum.""It's okay, we are all here for you." She told him as she gave him a hug again.—------------------------------------------------------------"You're leaving?" Brandon asked his parents."Yeah. Don't you think it's a li

Chapter 43Once more, it was Emma and her thoughts. She tried. She tried really hard. She wanted to believe Alec and Brandon when they said it wasn't her fault. That she had no power over what had happened but it still didn't stop the thoughts. She had one child left with her but it didn't stop the thoughts. She willed it to go away but it just wouldn't let up.And after everything that's said and done, she knew she was at fault. First it was her mother, then her child. If she couldn't be a good daughter to notice all that had been going on in the hospital, how could she take care of her own children? No wonder the baby died. She had neglected going to the hospital for her regular checkups. She had neglected many things, being caught up with just herself. She was to blame. It didn't matter what Alec or Brandon said. She was at fault and she knew it. She was on her way to becoming the worst mother in history.There was a knock at the door, Emma wiped her tears immediately and pretended

Chapter 44The intense urge to pee was what woke Emma up from her slumber. She made a mad dash for the toilet and it was only after she had come out of the toilet that she noticed she was the only one in the room. There was no sign of Piper or Zoey. An unexpected feeling of sadness hit her. They should have at least waited until she had woken up from her sleep right? She thought they had all become friends. Even if it was just one day they had spent with each other, she could not deny that she felt a sense of camaraderie and sister good with them. Emma moved downstairs and saw Helen behind the stove."You're awake. Take a seat, I'm almost done." Helen said to her with a smile."Um, perhaps….is…".Helen turned to her with a raised eyebrow. "What is it that you want to ask?""Me?""Yes, Emma. Don't even think of pretending. You can ask me anything you know, right?" Helen asked her.Emma thought of it for a moment. There was really no need to ask Helen about Piper and Zoey. She was sure

Chapter 45Emma waited for Brandon. It wasn't like they were friends or anything but it had become a habit to eat together and she just could not bring herself to start eating without him. But minutes passed and Brandon was still a no show.Emma turned to Helen who was getting ready to leave. "I'm not sure being friends with Brandon is going to work.""What?""You said we don't even behave like roommates. I'm trying to behave like one, waiting for him to come downstairs so we can eat together." Emma said to her.Helen turned to Emma with a smile. "Waiting downstairs for someone to come down does not make you guys friends." "But…""You are just making excuses, Emma. You saw how he was when he walked in and you really think he would come down if you wait for him?""Then pray tell, what should I do?" Emma asked her in surrender.Helen gave her an eyeroll and replied to Emma with her voice heavily laced with as much sarcasm as she could muster "I don't know, find him?""What? Why?""That

Chapter 46Emma let out a gasp and Brandon used the opportunity to slide his tongue into her open mouth. He was consumed with need for her, an extreme want that he could not control. Emma tried pushing him away, she caught a handful of his hair and gave it a tug, it brought pain to Brandon but he had lost all reasoning. The pain only made him seek more. He moved ruthlessly over her like and with time, Emma lost the zeal to fight him. She moved her mouth along with his, intertwining their tongues. They continued for minutes and only let each other go to get in a lungful of air.They stared at each other. Emma with an intense hatred as she clung unto him, her lips parted. To Brandon, she looked like an angel. One that would be able to satiate his needs. But even at that, he made no move to continue. It was a constant rise and fall of their chests as they both stared at each other, none relenting. Emma knew she would regret whatever was happening between them but now, her desire clouded

Chapter 74"Hey," Emma said to the blonde woman as she took a seat next to her on the bench. She was lost in thought and it was obvious she had been crying. The woman wiped her tears and turned to Emma with a frown.Emma gave her a sad smile. " You are Victoria right?"The woman nodded but she still had a frown plastered on her face. "I knew Hunter. I was in the car with him...he protected me." Emma said to her.Victoria's eyes widened in recognition. "You are Emma? Brandon's fiancee?"Emma chuckled. "Fiancee is a stretch. We are not even dating.""What?""But it's not like I don't want to date him or anything. I do but…." Emma released a heavy sigh. " Can we just talk about the reason I'm here?""I'm all ears. We can talk about anything." Victoria said to her with a small smile."I'm sorry about Hunter."Victoria stared into space. It was clear that Hunter's situation affected her so much."I'm trying to be strong for him," Victoria replied.Emma nodded and they sat together for a w
Enemies but lovers1 chapter 73
Chapter 73Emma cried in relief when she saw Brandon. She wanted to move to him to give him a hug but her hands which were handcuffed limited her movement. Brandon wasted no time in getting it off her and then she was in Brandon's embrace. He held her close, taking in her scent and her face. He inspected for any signs of injury on her body and fussed over her. Emma did not imagine for once that Brandon fussing over her would be something she appreciated. It was obvious he was in love with her. She hated that it had to take a scare before she was finally able to admit to herself that she was also in love with him. She was immediately taken to the hospital and it wasn't until later that she found out that it was because of luck that Brandon had been able to find her. Lydia had been lying when she said the phone was in the building with them. It was a lie and after everything Emma had passed through at the hands of her supposed friend, she wasn't so sure she would be able to forgive Lyi

Chapter 72Kevin was over the moon. Zoey said yes. He was about to tell his friends when he received a call from Benji. The urgency in his voice was what made Kevin move. He had no idea if he would be able to make it in time but he was willing to try. After convincing Zoey to stay, he got into his car and drove towards the direction of Emma's previous home. He hoped he would be able to make it in time. Not just for him but for every single person in their circle who loved her.—--------------------------------------------------------------Emma had no idea how long she would be able to keep up the pretence. With every new information gotten from her ex-best friend, she fought the urge to throw up. How was she so evil and how had she been so blind to everything that had happened? Lydia had wanted everything about Emma. She was so obsessed with Emma that she slept with her cousin while screaming her name. Emma had no idea why Lydia had told her the information. If Lydia thought it was
Enemies but lovers1 chapter 71
Chapter 71Brandon had been so excited to get to Emma. He knew there was no way she would have been expecting him when he showed up at the prison that was if she was still there. He felt the meeting with Mr Chen had been a waste of time. The issues discussed were issues that could have been resolved over the phone but the man had wanted to see them. With every passing minute during their discussion, he had to fight the urge to punch the man's face. At least it is over now.He turned to Kevin who was no doubt texting Zoey."Walk fast, I need to meet Emma." Kevin ignored him and continued texting. Brandon was sure he was chatting with Zoey but he had no idea why his brother was so immersed so he sneaked up to his brother who did not notice and took a glimpse at the conversation."You are planning a surprise for her?""Holy fuck!" Kevin said in shock as he moved away putting some distance between him and his brother."Why are you so surprised?" Brandon asked him."I don't know…because y
Enemies but lovers1 chapter 70
Chapter 70Emma groaned. Her head ached badly. She tried touching her head, as if willing the pain to go away but she could not move her hands. She struggled and found out it was handcuffed to a bed. Emma was widely awake now. She observed her environment. She was on a bed in a very tiny room. She was sure this wasn't the place Hunter had been driving her to….wait, she thought to herself with a frown. What if Hunter had been behind this? She shook her head. That wasn't possible. From the way Hunter had spoken it was clear that he was very much into his wife and family and she was sure Benji wouldn't employ someone who wasn't trustworthy. After a few minutes of trying to determine where she was, she remembered the accident. A vehicle from nowhere had hit them. She had no idea what happened next because she blacked out. That was why her head hurt, she thought to herself. That could be the only explanation. But if there was an accident, what had happened with Hunter? The room in which s
Enemies but lovers1 chapter 69
Chapter 69Emma had no idea what had prompted her cousin to say that but it gave her something to ponder on. Was he talking about Brandon and his friends? No, she shook her head. She was not a good judge of character but she knew this had nothing to do with Brandon. Maybe it was something else? Someone in the future?"Watch where you're going." She heard a voice say to her which made her pause.She took in her surroundings and saw she was headed straight for a wall. The person jogged to meet up with her."The vehicle is the other way. You were so lost in thought." He said to her,Emma gave him an appreciative smile as he led her to the car which was parked on the other side. He entered the car also and turned to Emma."Am I to drive you back home or…."Emma smiled. "Benji said you have somewhere to be so I don't plan on wasting your time." He gave her an appreciative nod but then his phone rang. "I'm sorry, I have to take this."Emma gave him the go-ahead. But he wasn't being secret
Enemies but lovers1 chapter 68
Chapter 68"Thank you," Emma said to Brandon with a smile."It's the least I can do for you, especially after everything that has happened," Brandon replied to her.He massaged her swollen feet delicately and she sighed in appreciation. The last month has been hectic. Her grandfather put up a fight but she had won at the end. They had all won and she hoped that this moment would last forever. With Brandon, his family, and her new friends, everything is peaceful like this. Emma was about to pass out due to the comforting feeling but then the feeling stopped which resulted in her being wide awake."Why?""I heard about your plans. Did you…do you think it's the right thing to do?" Brandon asked her.Emma sighed. She knew Brandon was going to bring the topic up sooner or later. She had finally placed her grandfather in prison where he deserved along with her cousin. While Godson was the lesser of two evils, he was also evil himself and he had been involved in things that had brought him
Enemies but lovers1 chapter 67
Chapter 67 Everything Brandon had told France when he was being held hostage, came to pass. Although his wife and child were not involved in an accident, news about his father's gambling issue became known to the public. Also, the debts his father acquired were made known to the public. He had to admit that he was extremely lucky when he found out that the news regarding his affair with the underage girl wasn't made public. He was in his office, trying to deal with the huge blow against his own company when he received an email. He had no idea who it was from and he could not identify the address. But after going through the contents of the email, he was sure he knew who it was from. Brandon had sent him pictures of all his wrongdoings and he got the message. His life was in Brando's hands. One wrong move and he would be drowning in an open sea. Templeton had contacted him after the statement he had released. The man was furious but France wouldn't let that deter him. Templeton cou

Chapter 66France stared at Brandon with eyes widened in fear."No, no, no. She is the one who lured me into sleeping with her. I never lured her. It was nothing like that." He tried to reason with Brandon who just gave him a shake of his head and turned to his friend."From the video, it doesn't look like she was willing. This could also be considered rape right?" Brandon asked Benji who nodded with a smile plastered on his lips."Thing is, France, we can let all this disappear with just a snap of our fingers. Give us what we are looking for or it's your head on a platter." Benji said to him.France turned to Brandon. He had no idea why Benji was or maybe his memory wasn't just serving him right. "You think you can get away with this? I know who you are, I can leak this information to the public."Brandon laughed when he heard that. The man thought he was smart? No way. There is no way someone like France would even leak this to the public. For one, no one would believe him and again
