CHAPTER 6
“We will be numbing your teeth by inserting this injection, sir, so just sit back and breathe in”, the dentist says as he brings an injection to my insert in my gums.
It’s been a week in Canada and I have had extreme fun, the only downside is not being able to find out a single information about this daughter of William, everyone seems to know he has a daughter but nothing else, not a name, not an age or even where she is at the moment, it was frustrating and annoying but at least I’ve had Emelia and she has been a very good teacher in all things sexual, she even took me to see the sights on a day she faked illness for a sick leave and I had a great time.
And I had to lie about my appointment today because by no means no one was to know my weakness, I’ve hidden the fact that my teeth was bad but I didn’t know how to act during my recovery, I had to find a reason to stop seeing her till I was healed and the braces were off.
I watched the dentist as he lifted different instruments and kept at it till my mouth became tired of hanging open.
“We are done here”, he says after a while and I drop my head and finally close my mouth, it still feel numb and weird, I lift my hand and feel for my mouth to make sure it’s still there, because.
“Don’t worry, in a while you will wish you didn’t feel at all”, he said as he pulled off the gloves.
He and the receptionist were nicer this time around and I wandered why, it wasn’t like the called William to confirm and if he did there was no way William will say he knew me, no way in hell.
I nodded in answer to his comment and he wrote down some drugs and handed it over, “In a while the numbness will wear off and then you will need to take all these pain killers if you want to feel even a bit human”, he says passing me the prescriptions.
“It still feels weird to talk but thanks”, I manage to croak out as I stand to leave, the dentists stands to and walks me out.
“You will need to come back in for the braces and checkups”, he says as we walk out together.
“Have a nice day if you can”, the receptionist calls as I walk out, I raise my hands in a wave as I flag down a taxi and go to nearest drug store.
“You took too long”, I hear as soon as I open the door to my hotel room, I raise my eyes as I shut the door and see Emelia standing in front of me in only her lace panties and bras.
“”Well you can’t get into my room without my permission”, I croak out ignoring the pain that fires through me as soon as I open my mouth.
“Looks like someone had a bad day” She says coming closer.
“Please not tonight, I need to breathe so just leave”, I say trying my hardest to be polite but it seems it didn’t work from the way she stares at me and humphs before stomping in to probably put on something presentable.
I pop in some pain pills hoping that I can at least sleep tonight because the pain I feel from my tooth is passed unbearable.
First of all it was really numb then I started to feel sharp pains anywhere my tongue touched and too soon it spread, it came with a blinding headache and I had to sit in the car park at the medicine store so I could feel even a little bit better.
After a while of continuous pain I began popping in pain meds and the pain was still at a high level, I walk into the room and pass a cussing Emelia who was struggling to put on her shoes in a fit of rage, I simply continued on to the bathroom.
I was pulling off to get into the shower when I heard the door shut, I stepped into the shower and regretted the decision to shower as soon as I lifted my face up and the water hit my already battered mouth, damn, I cried in my heart and stepped out.
This was a shitty experience, I haven’t found out much about the fucking daughter and now I have to go through all this to impress a mother fucker who hates my type of persons for no reasonable reason at all, oh except that we were leaches.
I put on the TV and started watching all his interviews looking for something that pointed to a child or something close to that, maybe a family or something in relations to that when my laptop dinged, probably a notification from my mail and I was in no mood to check it out so I ignored it when it pinged for the second time.
I grudgingly turned and lifted it from my table to see I had a mail as I suspected, I opened it and managed a small laugh.
“I finally found out how to navigate through this shit they call mail, and I wanted to ask why you weren’t spending the money, I received the bank statement and I was surprised and disappointed, the joy you felt when you received the card feels extreme in comparison to how you are spending it, I mean just a lodge and a dentist trip counts for nothing”
The first mail said and I was still chuckling when I opened the second one, still from the same person,
“And you see this is old man Jack, someone suggested that you might not know who it was”
I smiled as I typed a quick response,
“I’ve felt like shit for the past hours because of my teeth, yes it finally looks good and whoever said I wouldn’t know who sent it must be stupid, I mean who else gave me a black card, it wouldn’t take much thinking to figure out, even your mail is all you, who else would have a mail that said thatblackguard@yahoo.com phew, and I haven’t spent much because I want to be remembered when I do start spending so I have to set the face they will remember, now that its done, I will begin to extremely spend, so your next bank statement might just shock you because I will add a kick ass car to my list and n apartment in Canada isn’t so bad an investment. And stop texting like a girl even if you miss me. Be well!”
I hit send and sat back with a smile, old man Jack, I turned off the light and close my eyes and sleep came early amidst the pain.
CHAPTER 7“We welcome all of you to the tour of our prestigious school”, the guide says through a microphone and her voice booms through the halls.It’s been 2 weeks since I had my teeth changed and the pain has lessened considerably but I was still on a liquid only diet and I still gurgle with salt and water, most of the wounds have healed and I could talk without feeling like I was walking on hot coals, generally I felt better and the braces will be put on next week but I got a mail earlier this week that the school would be holding a first tour for people that were handy at the moment and I decided to buy one set of clothing and attend.That was why I was here on a hot Friday afternoon, in the midst of like a thousand people listening to the tour guide telling us about Gold University, Canada.“And for you our special intake we have a special guest, the one and only William Smith”, she screams and my heart
CHAPTER 8A week later and I’m still thinking of Emberlynn Smith and how I should treat the case, at first thought I was going to ignore her existence but right now it is no longer an option because I sat to think of what daughter wouldn’t care if someone is a threat to her father and there were only to available options where she was concerned, kill her or love her, and there was no way I was hard enough to kill her with all those guard around her it will be close to impossible to kill her even if it was a hired killer.I walk into the dentist’s and I raise my hand to wave at the receptionist as I pass straight into the dentist’s office, I’m five minutes late already.“Good morning Luca”, the dentists says with a smile, “Are you ready for your braces?” he asks.I nod absentmindedly and my mind travels to a certain daughter and I begin to wonder how hard it will be to fall in love with
CHAPTER 9“I even have to shop for you now”, Emilia grumbles as we walk into the shopping mall, “I’m taking this motherhood thing to a different level”, she sighs.“I promise to buy you pretty things and also do pretty bad things to you later”, I whisper as I bite her ears and she shivers.“Well, with all these promises I can see the good in becoming your mother”, she says using her hands to make quotation marks around the word mother.It’s been a few months since we had the ‘age’ discussion and since then Emilia hadn’t let it go, well except when we were having sex which was getting more often, I had run out of condom more than ten times and I do buy in bulk.Finally today I got her out of bed to do shopping with me in her free time since school was set to resume soon, I was to get a car too but after a while I realized it might be too extreme so a motor
CHAPTER 10I put the last cloth into my box and sigh, today I was officially moving to a house near the school, according to them tomorrow would be the first day of resumption, the only thing still pushing me to actually go on with this was the fact that I had to have that power that William sat on and that I got to see Aria everyday now.I smiled as I thought of Aria, at first what I wanted from her was all knacks but getting to know her had been eye opening and like a breath of fresh air.She loved to draw and she was actually going in for an art major, when she told me she had a whole dream of why she chose arts, so I felt really ashamed when she asked my major and I said business, but when she asked of the why, all that came to my mind was power.But I recovered when she said one of her turn on was power, I felt like I had found my soul mate, she would just have to wait a while before we had our happily ever, a long time really becaus
CHAPTER 11“I’m not going for the orientation Aria, it’ll just be like the tour, where they pull down some and lift some and it would also be a forum for sorority houses to put in their nets”, I grumble as Aria ties to convince me to attend the orientation.Its been a week since we moved in, or rather I moved in and Aria has been here every other day, she insisted on getting her room in the hostel like a good kid, but she ended up here every day, it was a good thing for me since we had to share the bed whenever she came over.And yes, nothing ever happens, I respect her and I want whatever happening to be more than the shit with Emilia.Speaking of, Emilia had been one of the thorns in my flesh in this past week, when she was taken to the hospital and stitched, the management questioned her and she said I was responsible for the cut, which wasn’t a lie, but there was no way I would admit that ever.Any
CHAPTER 12“This place is super crowded”, Aria says pushing into me to avoid the guys hollering at the edges of the hall.At all corner there was a different group.“You think the orientation is over already”, she asks shouting right into my ear since the crowd was deafening, “Or maybe they haven’t even begun” she says.“I really doubt it, it looks like its sorority picking time”, I say with disgust and she glares at me.“Try saying it without disgust Luca, or _” she gets cut off by someone calling my name or maybe it’s just another person with the same name as mine that is been called.“Gaudion”, I hear and we both turn, that is definitely me, I scan the crowd behind us and don’t see anyone who might have called out my name.“Making friends already? You're smooth”, Aria says poking at my sides and I grin at her and w
CHAPTER 13“You’re behaving weird”, Aria says as she steps out of the kitchen with 2 cups of coffee and my t-shirt on.Get your minds out of the gutter, nothing had happened between us yet.She hadn’t gone home yesterday either and spent the night here and as usual she was in my shirt, since she slept in it.“How?” I ask as I take the coffee from her and smile in appreciation.“I don’t know, you have been walking around, looking all restless and stuff”, she mutters into her coffee shrugging.“I uhm, I am not acting weird”, I say taking a sip, “Or rather I don’t think I am”, I mutter too.“Is it because I practically asked you out yesterday?” she says and the coffee chose that time to follow the wrong path.I immediately start coughing, she moves from her chair and rubs my back looking at me guiltily.“I&
CHAPTER 14“That was stupid”, I hear after a while of sitting at the café, I had already texted him that I would be there, so I wasn’t surprised when he showed up.“If her dad was there, you’ll be out on your ass and there’s no certainty that the guards wont report back”, he says as I didn’t respond to his earlier comment.“Well you should have given me a heads up”, I say as I turn to him.He winces, “The acting wouldn’t have been superb if you knew”, he says calling for water.“Well I can’t argue with that but the princess pissed me off, I couldn’t hold it in, especially after that punch”, I touch my nose which still felt tender.“I’m sorry, I didn’t want to go that hard but I needed you to bleed, that would have been sure to move her”, he says.“Well I couldn’t tell if she
CHAPTER 70 – FINAL CHAPTEREMBERLYNN’S POVI stare at the ongoing construction work, the bulldozer music to my ears.It took me a lot of packing up and crying to be able to finally make up my mind about breaking down the Smith mansion.“You look peaceful even in this chaos”, Williams shouts so his voice can come up above the bulldozer he comes to stand beside me.“Dr. Williams Sims”, I shout in return as I turn to face him.“Finally you get to call me Williams”, he says with a smile.“Well you should understand, I wasn’t ready to have another Williams”, I say and he smiles and tucks me into his side.He is that protective, had been right from the moment he told me I was his younger sister.Okay I know you all are confused, so when I was admitted in the hospital, the period I lost my baby, I learnt that Dr. Williams Sims was a product of dad and mum, dad wa
CHAPTER 69ARIA’S POVI fume as I leave the town house, so they didn’t come here, if they weren’t here then they were at the mansion.I had gone to the market place as instructed and Aleysa had been the lead in making fun of me, pissed I had turned back to interrupt whatever plans they had.I get into one of Luca’s car and I take off in the direction of the mansion, I hope it wasn’t a dinner date, I really will hate that Luca made the effort, if it was sex I could understand he was a man and if there was a way to manipulate a wife who loved you, sex was a sure option.I get to the mansion in record time and I see the car packed, I breathe a sigh of relief as I take the front steps, I get to the front door and I push the heavy door open, once I get in my eyes jam with the bodies sprawled on the floor and I scream.I turn around and run forgetting there are steps there, I take out my phone as I climb down the firs
CHAPTER 68LUCA’S POV“You handled that well”, I say after the meeting and Emberlynn smiles.“I guess I trust you so much, I didn’t feel like that was the truth”, she says packing up her bags.“Going somewhere?” I ask“Yes, to the house, I've exhausted the strength for today, it was surprisingly hectic, lots to resolve, very disappointing as I have someone here”, she says and I ignore her jab at me, I give her a smile instead.“Should I rub your feet? Or I could go further up, do that stuff you love with my tongue”, I say wiggling my eyebrow.“Did we used to have lots of sex?” she asks with a full grin.“Of course we did, that is exactly how our little one was formed so early in our marriage”, I say mirroring her grin.I guess sucking up to her a second time wouldn’t be hard, I just had to make sure she doesn&rsquo
CHAPTER 67LUCA’S POVThe atmosphere in this office has never been this tensed, everyone is trying so hard not to say the wrong thing and the meeting hasn’t even started.Kelly and Aria stood behind Mrs. Marilyn and I respectively but Emberlynn insisted they got small chairs to sit, that the meeting will be a long one, so they had both gone to get chairs while Emb looked through some files.it will be stupid to deny that the office looked good on her, she was a boss, something I didn’t recognize before now, but it was true that getting this from her again was going to be tricky.Not only did she enjoy it, she didn’t trust me, I felt it from her right from the hospital and now it was like she was clearing up my people, so the only other option is that I hired the wrong people which still falls back on me.“Do I have something on my face?” she asks breaking my line of thought.“No”, I answer
CHAPTER 66ARIA’S POVShe’s firing me I think, just like that, after all the work I put in, she wants to dispose of me so she will beside Luca and enjoy all his successes, no I think as the words she said replays in my head.“My first decision as the CEO would be to fire Aria, I got dozens of report, you skip work, come late and most times it’s a temp that does your work, I'm not comfortable with that energy, I'm doing a sweep, and I think you should be first to go, thank you for your services, you can do as much as typing your letter, right?” she had said it so casually, with no emotion, as if I didn’t matter, could this be blamed on her memory?Someone doesn’t grow so cold over some loss of memory.“That’s your best friend Emberlynn”, I hear Luca defend me and try to reason with her.She replies him coldly too, her answer is like I'm her property who must conform since I was her best friend.
CHAPTER 65LUCA’S POV“What time are we showing up today?” Aria says from beside me, we had woken up several times in the night going at each other like animals so we slept in real late, the only reason our phones were not blowing up was because I had it off since yesterday as promised and now it was 10, I wasn’t sure I wanted to switch it on after all.“Should we just leave the work today?” I say going to the bathroom, I was hungry for a shower.“We don’t have that liberty, we are in war and we can always use Emb being in the hospital as a reason for going late but definitely not as one for not showing up”, she says making a good point.“Fine, I’ll shower first, don’t put on the phones till we are done bathing and even dressed, I don’t want to have to rush”, I say stepping into the scalding water, I pick up soap and lather my body.I didn’t think I will have t
CHAPTER 64EMBERLYNN’S POV“Whatever you put in that drip is good, I feel stronger” I say as soon as Dr. Sims comes for his morning rounds.He smiles and nods, “Was it the drug in the drip or the fact that you know you're not guilty of the nasty stuff your friend threw at you”, he says.I shrug, “Whatever it is, it’s giving me joy and strength, so I'm grateful”He nods and smiles.I return his smile, I had woken up from my drug induced sleep and found him sitting beside my bed, he said my husband left and so did Aria.He apologized for their attitude and I argued that there was no need, he told me all my husband told him and relieved me of the guilt I felt and then I slept a more rewarding sleep, now I was wide awake and ready to be discharged.“Are you sure you want to leave here? I mean now you get to see your friend unhindered, she might throw worse things your way”, he says.
CHAPTER 63LUCA’S POV“What did you do?” I ask as soon as I locate Aria, when I finally got to the hospital I kept calling her to find out what that call meant but she hadn’t picked up, so I had gone into Emb’s room just to meet utter chaos, they had asked me to excuse them as she was back in code red.I had wanted more explanation but no one was willing to explain so I started hunting for Aria, and after a whole thirty minutes or more I find her on the rooftop.“What do you mean?” she says in a calm controlled voice that I'm not buying even a bit.“I mean I walked into the room of a woman I left utterly healthy few hours ago and she’s suddenly in code red, as far as I know you were the last to see her”, I say imitating her calmness when inside me was a boiling rage.I wanted to be done with this whole mess and just enjoy but even that seems like it’s not possible.“She fou
CHAPTER 62EMBERLYNN’S POVI finally wake up from a restless sleep to see a nurse hovering over me, checking on the wires connected.“Hi”, she says when she sees I'm awake.“You're not Sandy”, I say and realize that sounded rude, “Sorry, I'm getting used to being without memory and I sort of got used to Sandy”, I say apologizing.She looks at me with kind eyes laced with a bit of pity.“Dr. Sims also thought it might be a bit hard for you waking up to a different face but Sandy is on call in the main emergency ward and I needed to check you out of the emergency, your accommodations have been upgraded as you're stable now”, she says making a joke about it.“Instead of transferring me, can’t I go home yet, my husband will want that too”, I say.“You think?”, she asks looking thoughtful and I nod, “Well let me have a bit of a talk with Dr. Sims and I wil
