EPILOGUE :SPAINTwo Weeks LaterTIN … TINThe bell chimed, as the door opened indicating the presence of new customers.As soon as the couple entered, their nostrils filled with the strong scents of lilies, Lavender, and many more floral scents mixed with the smell of wet mud.The old man digging out the sand and making a small pot announced without even looking in that direction.“We’re off... I’m afraid you won’t be getting anything now except for the flowers.” The old man spoke as he prepared the pot and then stood with it in his hand.He turned to face the couple and the pot dropped from his hand in an instant from shock.BOOM“What is that noise, Frederic?” An old woman walked out from the small villa wearing an apron, she looked at the back of her husband, he seemed to be frozen looking at something.She took curious steps towards him and then exclaimed in shock, “Emma…”BOOM“Mom, Dad…” Emma called out in a hoarse voice and lunged forward to give her mother a hug, her mother w
The blanket of stars stretched into infinity in the sky when Emma saw the sign of BROOKLYN at the corner of the road pointing at her destination.A small smile crept over her lips, she double-checked her phone just to see her upcoming task.The birthday of her Fiance Jacob was coming.Emma met Jacob, three years ago, at a conference in her college. The day their eyes met, something magical happened. They had a great talk after that and once they started talking, it didn’t end. Meeting after meeting, and soon they fell in love.Some days before, Jacob proposed to her and Emma happily agreed. Tonight, Emma was going to make it special for Jacob by giving him a surprise visit.She glanced into the review mirror to check if she had smeared her makeup in any way during her drive from Manhattan to here, but thankfully she didn’t.She was wearing a short black sequin, sleeveless dress, which hugged her body perfectly, her jade skin looked more vibrant under the dark color. For the first time
“You take her first, boss?” Peter carefully asked his boss, Henry.“I have no interest, and you should also hurry. We don’t have the whole night.” Henry got off of Emma and warned his partner.He knew very well that lust won’t take a man anywhere except for destroying him.“Yes, boss.” Peter answered excitedly and pulled Emma up at once.“Ah.” Emma frowned as her legs straightened, her heels were painful.Noticing her discomfort, Peter enthusiastically knelt like a gentleman and took off her heels, not to help her but just to touch her inappropriately.Emma gasped when his fingers brushed her s*x over the fabric. The sweat of dread started to form over her forehead, with the realization that she had trapped herself in a very huge mess.“Just getting you ready, beauty.” Peter smirked shamelessly as he withdrew his fingers. Though Emma felt disgusting and humiliation, she controlled her expression."Cou...could we be in the car?" Her voice was so soft that Peter was more turned on. But
All hopes of Emma were crushed when the man’s hands went under her dress, and in a blink, he tore off her barrier and pressed her down on the cold floor.It was dark too dark for her to see clearly, but she already knew what was coming for her.The present she had kept for Jacob would be snatched away soon.Tears burst out as Jacob's smiling face appeared in her mind. She missed him so much now. The more she missed Jacob, the eager she needed to return to him, alive.Her thoughts were interrupted when the man stood up from her. For a moment, she felt like she had gotten her freedom. She was desperate to run.However, the skinny man took out the dagger he had hidden carefully, after noticing Emma’s movements.In the dark, the dagger shone brightly, which forced Emma to pause. Silently, she watched him strip, and despair spread in her heart.She knew it couldn't be avoided to lose her virginity now, but she had to stay alive, with any cost.As his lips went down crashing on her, Emma tr
Emma drove crazily.For the whole drive, she never lifted her foot from the gas.She still had the terror of that man following her. His cold and dark voice still lingered in her mind.Her whole body quivered, feeling a massive stroke about the disaster she just survived.First, she tried to save a helpless guy but it was a trap.Second, suffered to be raped, she murdered the raper.Third, in order to escape, she ran the car on his partner.All the past years, she was always a good girl with a happy life. Yet tonight, these nightmares were destined to follow her.Filled with hot tears in her eyes, her sight was getting blurred and finally. Finally she noticed a safe spot, a petrol station where a few people were present.Parked her car at the side, she looked down at her phone.There were multiple reminders of her task, most of which was from Jacob, the love of her life.Her eyes stung from the pain, and so did her whole body. During this critical emotional turmoil, she eagerly needed
RING ... RING ... RINGIn a state of panic, Emma was hiding behind a pillar and calling her husband, Jacob.“Hey, Emma…” Before Jacob was able to add anything immediately Emma cut him off.“He is back, Jacob… He is back!”Her voice was filled with panic and her words were unclear to him.“Who, Emma? What are you talking about?” Jacob asked her, confused.“That man… The Mafia leader, Henry Ford! Henry Ford has returned, he is here on the campus, right in front of my eyes.” She explained in a hoarse voice while her eyes kept confirming the evil man not following her.Jacob was silent for a while, and soon realized what she was talking about."Emma, take it easy. Henry Ford and his partner Peter are both dead. Inspector Roger was present at the execution time.” He comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, darling. Dead people could never return back."“But…” Emma bit her lips, she could never forget that man’s voice, nor his aura. She was frightened as hell.“Easy, darling, maybe he just l
“Do I remind you of someone, Emma?”His evil whispers dropped around her ears, making Emma want to scream out and flee away but she retained.“It’s Mrs. Adams, Mr. Cooper.” Emma reminded him with a cold face, deliberately pressing the words of her identification to the man, David.Under his dark and suspicious gaze, she stood firm, not showing any weakness but annoyance at his approach and the way he called her by her first name.How impolite !!!His lips arc, “Mrs. Adams, a respectful way to acknowledge a noble married woman.”His words carried a great hint of sarcasm making Emma stiffen.What was he talking about?Is he implying that she wasn’t noble?A layer of fear suddenly covered her face, and the man, David, noticed it instantly.“You looked scared of me, why, Mrs. Adams?” The man asked slowly.“As I told you before, you’re highly mistaken, Mr. Cooper.” Emma stood determined on her words not giving the man any satisfaction of his dark aura around her.“I can see it in your eyes
“Hmmm…”Emma’s head was heavy so were her eyes. It seemed that she had slept for a long time. How did she fall into a coma?Trying to shake away all the heavy thoughts from her mind, she blinked her eyes.The first thing which appeared in front of her eyes was a tall and dark silhouette of a man watching on a sofa and watching her with interest in his eyes.Emma’s eyes widened in terror when her sanity returned and she realized that the man sitting in front of her was none other than a Mafia Leader.A man who has returned for revenge.“Emma … Emma… Are you still having doubts about me? “David Cooper, oh no, it was Henry Ford finally spoke, his voice dark and cold.Emma gulped in fear and spoke, “You’re… You didn’t die…”“Hah… You look regretful…” The man laughed, a pure evil laughter echoed in the dark room making Emma shudder.“So, you’re here to kill me,” Emma said, which made Henry cocked his head. Shadows moved across his face, casting his already dark eyes into deeper blacknes

“My Little Vixen,I made an oath to not hurt you, but I broke it today by hurting you again.My fury took away my senses and I don’t have the courage to face you and apologize to you.Hence, I decided to write my emotions for you today.Did you remember, you once asked for a home?I had been trying to find a home for you, for our child, our family, and finally, I found one.I kept a small surprise there for you. I hope you will like it.Since my childhood, I was taught to force things on people, to claim my right to power.But, I never knew that love could never be conquered by force and power.It could be conquered with love only.Love needs patience, and sacrifices, while I am not aware of these two words in my life which belonged to the dark world.I don’t regret a single day of my life with you, although I know in each of those days you planned to kill me, end my life, and run away from me.I don’t blame you, Emma.As I said, I was never taught how to love, I hope you will be able
“Did he hurt you, Miss Bailey?” A nurse inspecting Emma asked.Emma pulled the torn sleeves up and showed the cut which was given to her by Henry. It was not very deep but it will surely leave a scar on her skin, all this while she didn’t know that Henry had planned too much for her.A locator inside her body without even her knowing about it.Immediately the nurse started to clean the wound and then went for stitches to close it.“How’s she doing?” Leon appeared and Emma’s eyes opened wide, “Jacob? How is he?”“He’s safe and alive,” Leon assured him.“I am truly astounded by your capability, Miss Bailey. During the chaos, you used your brain right to steal my gun and my phone.If it wasn’t for your wise doing, we would have lost Henry again.” He sighed in disappointment. “I never knew he would try to kill you, but anything is possible, after all, he was a murderer.”Leon spoke with a stiff face, no one has ever shown sympathy for the death of a criminal, especially when he has killed
“Emma.”A loud roar made Emma jump away from Jacob, she turned to look at the door where Henry was standing with a livid face, his appearance gloomy and darker than the suit he was wearing.“You…” Henry marched towards Jacob with a face of ashen, his gun loaded and he pointed it at Jacob.BANGJust as he shot the fire, Emma lunged forward, making him lose his balance and the shot missed.The next moment, Jacob pounced on him and kicked the gun away from him.Henry and Jacob fought like wild animals with bare hands, Emma knew Jacob was weak, and Henry would get his victory very soon, afraid of Henry’s win.She picked up a side lamp and crushed it on Henry’s head from behind.BAMIn an instant, Henry’s grip loosened and he fell lifelessly on the ground.BOOM“Let’s go, Jacob.”Emma offered him her hand, he took it, and in an instant, they both rushed out of the study.Outside it was chaotic, the maids were running downstairs to escape, and there were sounds of gunshots and painful cries
THE WEDDING DAY :The morning bliss was beautiful but for Emma, it was giving her a cold chill, she knew what is going to happen today, and she has not got her hands on the evidence yet.The drive which contained Henry’s criminal record.Emma was all alone in her room when she woke up, Henry must have been busy with the preparations for the wedding, still, Emma has no idea what kind of guests are going to attend their wedding, but she knew that those people are not ordinary at all.The way the whole villa is guarded Emma knows that those people’s protection is more precious than anything else.And also, if Leon has chosen this day to attack, he must have chosen it for a reason, he won’t just capture Henry but all the big fishes of the ocean.With a bitter frown, Emma got up from her bed, she was worried for Jacob, she had no idea if Henry had released him yet or not.Nor does she has the guts to spoil his mood by asking about Jacob.After her breakfast, multiple maids entered Emma’s r
SOMEWHERE IN STATEN LAND“You MotherF**ker, I knew it was you from the very beginning…” Bryan Cooper spat as he picked up the cutter and then cut his cigar skillfully.“I can’t believe a father could be that cruel…” Leon spoke with sarcasm as he leaned comfortably on the sofa.“Son?” Bryan Cooper took a puff from his cigar and exhaled the smoke, his face turning gloomy at the mention of Henry, “I had only one son, David… He was long gone, and this one, Huh… He was just a proxy, a pawn in the Cooper family.”“So then why now you are eager to kill the pawn?” Leon raised his brow, looking at him in curiosity.“Phuff…” The old man took another long puff and then fixed his eyes at Leon, “That woman… What was her name my son got obsessed with?”He was trying to remember the name when Leon offered, “Emma, Emma Bailey…”“Yes, that stupid teacher… Does she have any class to be a part of the Cooper family… Huh, she betrayed my son, tried to plot against him, put him to death, and that fool…Idi
Henry’s smile widened when he traced the fear in her eyes.“No…” Emma pleaded in a low voice.“Only if you…” Henry gave her words a thought and then leaned on her, his mouth reached her ear and he whispered with cold breath.“If you make love to me right in front of him.”BOOMIn an instant, Emma broke the grip he had on her and stepped away.“Never.”She had a look of disgust on her face as she swept her eyes over him while Henry shamelessly devoured her body with his eyes.Without a single hesitation.“Then he has to die…” Henry pointed his dagger at Jacob and Emma sucked in a cold breath in fear.Impulsively, she charged at Henry and snatched the dagger from his hand.Henry stood calm watching her with relaxing eyes, he knew she wouldn't kill him, nor would he allow her to trade her life for her lover.Emma sensed his thoughts and raising the dagger toward her heart, instead, she raised the dagger toward her stomach this time.She pointed the tip firmly, making Henry gasp in surpri
SPAIN :KNOCK … KNOCKJacob was busy packing his luggage when the door knocked and he hurriedly closed the suitcase and went out to check on the door.“Yes?”The man standing at the door was completely unfamiliar to Jacob, hence, he didn’t allow him to enter and block the entrance from his body.“Jacob Adams,” The man called out and Jacob nodded his head, “Emma Bailey’s ex-husband.”At the mention of Emma, Jacob pretended to not know about her but the next second, the man broke the entrance and entered his house forcefully.“Close the door, the things I am going to discuss shouldn’t be heard by anyone.”Before Jacob could protest, the man spoke first, shutting down his protests.Jacob looked around cautiously and found the man alone, there was no one around him guarding the door, if he want he could run away from him and escape.“Don’t try that trick, I am here to help…” The man could read his thoughts and warned him beforehand.Jacob’s instincts were telling him to not listen but the
Emma’s heart was beating like a hammer as she stared at her phone which she had clenched so tight that her knuckles had started to turn white.In the daytime, she got saved with such a slight line, if she had reached the boutique a little late, her visit to Marcella would have been exposed to Henry.She was thankful to Marcella for conveying her the message of Jacob, she had no idea how eager Emma was to talk to Jacob, and finally, she got the chance.BEEP … BEEPThe phone beeped and Emma’s face turned pale from the fear, she had locked the door but she had no idea if she would be able to talk to Jacob in peace but still, she can’t let this chance slip away.It was an unknown number, the code of the number proves that it was coming from another country, she picked up the call and immediately pressed the code which she had memorized in the cab given by Marcella to her.In a hoarse voice, finally, Emma spoke, “Hello…”There was a pause for a moment and then a familiar voice filled Emma’
