The excitement and relief, both washed over Emma’s mind when she heard his words, she felt used and betrayed by Henry but who was she to complain?He has ruined her night, and her heart and so has her life.Would she ever be able to defeat him in his own game?Once again, Henry proved to her that she meant nothing more than a ragged doll whom he could fuck anytime and anywhere he pleased.Disheartened and disappointed, she left the study and with shaking legs made it to the hallway and then out of his villa, even when she had collected her clothes, she didn’t wear them.Her mind wasn’t in their senses, she was still overwhelmed with all the humility she suffered from Henry just now and then later his betrayal of allowing her relief by deleting her sex video.She was so tired yet so angry, that she was out of choice if she would cry or shout in fury.What could she do?She stepped outside the villa, unbothered by her disarrayed appearance and the cold wind blowing at her skin giving he
“Is that all?”In the dark room, Henry sat on the huge chair which was like his throne, his face as usual poker, lack of emotions as he stared at the woman in front of him with narrowed eyes trying to see if she has added any lies in the information she has brought to him.“Yes… Yes, sirr…” Under his dark, suspicious gaze, Judy couldn’t help but stutter from the fear.Henry nodded his head to dismiss her and then leaned back in his chair, sneering out loud, “Let’s see what you have in your mind, Emma…”He gave a devilish grin and then flinched.He rolled up his sleeves and stared at the light marks on his arms reminding him about his and Emma’s intimacy on the balcony.He grabbed the bottle of wine and then poured it on his scratches, the pain gave him a delightful feeling removing all the weird and abnormal feelings he was having for Emma these days.****In the loud and dark atmosphere, a young woman entered and then started to head for the box to which she was invited for tonight.
“I asked you a question.” Henry’s dark voice sounded from above her, Emma looked up at his blank face and made up an excuse.“I… I was searching for one of my students here. I heard she was going to visit some friends of hers, here.”Henry stared at her for a while lost in a daze when she added cleverly, “She’s a bright student in my class, I just needed to check if someone is not tricking her.”“So, you found her?” Henry questioned, looking interested in her answer.“Uhm, No… Seems like she has changed the plan.”Again, a white lie.Henry looked at her for a moment and then turned to exit the nightclub.Emma let out a breath of relief behind him, she then also hurried to leave this dark place but when she reached the main gate and started looking for a cab, a firm hand held her wrist and pulled her back.“What are you…” A shriek of panic came onto her lips but stopped abruptly when she saw the silhouette of a familiar man.“As you have come to me on your own, Emma, how could I allow
Emma’s heart was beating with uncertainty as the time started to pass to Henry’s threat, she knew he could arrive here any time and then ruin everything.She looked at the happy faces of her parents and Jacob, and her heart clenched painfully.She can’t hurt them, she has to protect them, they are the only family she got.Making up her mind, Emma went to Jacob and then made an excuse to him about forgetting her cell phone downstairs in the store of their neighbor.She insisted on collecting it on her own while Jacob accompanied her parents.Jacob agreed reluctantly and then wearing a coat over her clothes Emma went down.Once she reached the door, she saw a familiar car parked at the corner of the road. She frowned in distress, Henry has indeed come over here to ruin her family’s happiness.Distressed, she walked to his car and then sat in the passenger seat.CLICKAs soon as she got inside, Henry jumped on her like a hungry wolf and started to strip her clothes off.Her coat was remo
Emma looked at her naked body in the mirror which was showing her clean but deep inside she felt filth all over her body, the touches of Henry’s were a bitter reminder of the mud he had drowned her into.Bracing her weak and crumpled heart, she stepped out of the washroom wearing a bathrobe.By the time she returned home, her parents were already gone. They had a train to catch to return to the city while Jacob started to clean the mess so that Emma won't get bothered or stressed from the mess.Looking at the clean house and so much consideration from Jacob Emma’s heart got heavier from the guilt of what she had done just now.Clutching the bathrobe tightly, she went to Jacob who was busy cleaning dishes in the kitchen.Taking a deep breath, she finally told him her decision, “Jacob, I want a divorce.”BOOMJacob’s hand stopped and he turned to Emma thinking it was a prank but Emma’s red eyes and her serious face told him that she wasn’t.Seeing Jacob staring at her in disbelief, Emma
“Well, I must say it was a very bold and unexpected approach made by you, Emma.” Henry leaned and whispered in her ear, intentionally licking the bottom of her ear which made her stiffen from the terror, in an instant.Emma looked at him dumbfounded as he continued.“For surprising me in such a unique way, Emma, I am obliged to present you with a reward. After all, you deserve it”He gave her a wicked smile.“A reward?” Emma looked at him puzzled, isn’t he here to punish her?But he was talking about reward, what kind of reward?And his smile?What he was thinking?Emma didn’t need to ponder on his words because soon the background filled with weird erotic voices, and a woman beside her gasped in horror.“Oh My God.”Emma turned in that direction, and saw a huge screen in the lobby of the hotel playing an erotic sex video of a woman with four built men, she didn’t need to guess whose video is this and who has released it here in the public.Although the voices were unclear and the fac
Emma’s eyes glued to Lilian in a silent question and Lilian met her eyes with a known answer.Emma’s face paled, drained from the blood, this shouldn’t be what she was thinking about.Henry who stood beside Lilian was still unaware of their silent gestures.“The picture…” Lilian prompted breaking Emma’s trance.She looked bewildered and then when she was supposed to open the camera to take a picture, an old man with a camera hanging around his neck approached them with a sweet smile on his face.“If you allow me…” He held his camera up, offering to click the picture.Emma stepped away with relief, just when she intended to return to her room, a sharp voice stopped her.“Emma, come and join us for the picture,” Henry ordered.Emma’s back stiffened from her words, why does her presence matter for taking a picture?“This…” Lillian looked at Emma’s back with a confused face.“She is also here for the seminar, Mrs. Emma Jacob, the Art teacher from Staten Island, you must follow her lecture
With trembling fingers, she pressed the button and picked up Henry’s call.“I told you to appear at my door before 10, It’s 10, where the hell are you?” Henry sounded pissed and Emma heaved a sigh of relief secretly.Thankfully, he was scolding her for being late and not revealing what she was doing with her husband in the other hotel.“If you dare to not listen to me, Emma…” Hearing her mute at the other end, Henry warned her to not play any tricks with him this time.Emma took a deep breath, relieved, and then calmly replied to him, “I can’t come to you, I am sharing a room with my colleague. If she sees me disappear for the whole night, she might start to doubt…”Emma calmly explained to him her worries and Henry paused for a moment.“Is that all?” He inquires“Yes, that’s the only reason,” Emma told him.After spending such a pleasurable time with Jacob, she didn’t want to stay with Henry at all.“Fine…” Abruptly, Henry ended the call and a small smile of relief appeared on Emma’s
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
“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’
