“Are you sure you're not coming up?” Emma looked at Henry before getting out of his car in doubt.After Henry returned to her ward, he told her that she would discharge soon.Emma didn't know that the soonest will be in a few hours.Last night she was unstable and today in the afternoon, Henry discharged her from the hospital.The reason was still unknown behind his hurriedness.“No, I have some work to do… I will come later…” Henry told her as a promise and Emma nodded her head silently.Maybe it would be better if she spent some time alone, without his dominating presence.A nurse came over and helped Emma to get off the car and then took her back to her house while Henry watched her back with a straight face.When she went out of his sight, only then he allowed the driver to leave her place.“Have you sent the men?”Henry questioned Bradley in a sharp tone and he nodded his head in response.“Nothing should be left, everything must be destroyed…”Henry commanded with a stern face.
The shadow returns, and it took precious seconds for Emma to realize it’s Henry.His face is a mask of ice.Duct tape.Handcuffs.She wriggled, trying to move her body when he yanked her sleep shorts down.BOOMEmma went still.Her heart was rioting, slamming against her ribs. Her pulse is all she can hear and she struggles to calm down.She knew why Henry was making her captive like this, he wanted to scare her off so that she would disobey him and then he could get a chance to threaten her again.From the very beginning, she knew that Henry could never make a relationship, he was a dark man, a sadist, and he could never change himself nor give any woman happiness at all.How could Emma fall for his trap?Henry crawled over her, straddling her hips. He bent down and licked the side of her face. His tongue left a wet trail up her cheek, over the corner of her eye.“I love your tears,” he confessed, his lips pressed to her ear. “I fucking love your terror.”Emma shivered, it was the fi
“If I don’t take the pills, I could get pregnant…” Emma showed her worry openly to Henry which displeased him more.“I want you to get pregnant with my child, Emma…” He said each word with force.Giving his conclusion to Emma, which means she can’t win him over this.“No…” Emma refused bluntly and then reached for the medicine but the next second, she was held back by Henry.In anger and frustration, Emma bit Henry’s arm hard.Henry flinched from the sharpness of her teeth piercing his skin but he allowed Emma to inflict that pain on him.Even after punishing her, his mind and heart were still not at ease.He was hurt and emotionally disturbed by Emma’s betrayal.He wanted any source to take away that weird pain that is slowly eating him from inside and making him mad.“Why are you doing this, Henry… You asked me to end this hatred and force… Then why are you doing this now?” Emma looked at him with helplessness and hurt in her eyes.But like the old times, this time Henry wasn’t move
KNOCK … KNOCKThere was a slight knock on the door and then the door of the apartment was opened in seconds from inside revealing Emma with a sweet smile on her face.“Dinner is ready…” She informed politely.Henry pretended to take a sniff and then grinned at her, “I could smell it.”Emma stepped aside to let him in.He stepped inside the familiar space and as usual, Emma stepped forward and took off his coat while he started to roll up his sleeves and then went to the bathroom to freshen up.While Emma started to place the dinner on the table neatly.When Henry returned from the washroom, Emma had already placed the dinner on the table.Henry took his place and so did Emma.And they began to eat silently just like a normal couple in a relationship.“Emma, do you know any officer besides Inspector Ryan?”After hesitating for a moment, Henry asked a straight question to her.Emma looked at Henry for a moment and then replied plainly, “No… I and Jacob were in touch with only Inspector
Emma saw the way Henry relaxed after hearing her confession to her mother.She tried hard to blush and appeared shy in front of him.This is her only chance to gain his full trust.“If you have really decided that your heart goes for him, then better go for the marriage, Emma… I and your father would love to see you as a bride again and get the happiness of your life.”Emma's mother said from the bottom of her heart.She was angry at Emma for leaving Jacob but as Emma gave them the reason for love with another man they hoped her love would stay forever and she won’t get hurt like Jacob.“I’ll surely listen to my heart this time, Mom…” Emma told her with a determined face and then bidding her goodbye, she ended the call.BEEPShe looked a little disturbed as she ended the call and Henry noticed it instantly.“What did she say to her?” He asked, trying to change the subject and drift her mood.“Uhmm… nothing… Mom wants me to settle down…” Emma deliberately avoided the topic of confessin
In a state of panic, Emma was close to showing her real intentions to Henry, but when he approached her with a smile, she was relieved.This proves that Henry didn’t know about her planning at all.And as she expected, Henry met her with a questionable face.“What are you doing here, Emma?”Before Emma would answer him, he joked with her, “Don’t tell me, you followed me because you were missing me, my little vixen.”From Bradley’s report before, Henry was already in a good mood and then meeting Emma unexpectedly in the middle of the day just added to his happiness.“I am here to drop my parents…” Emma told him truthfully and Henry looked at her stunned.“Aren’t they supposed to leave after some days?” He inquired.“No, Jacob has already helped them in booking tickets, I came to see them off.” There was sadness in Emma’s tone and Henry's heart clenched as he knew that the sadness of her parents being so rude to her was him.They would rather stay close to Jacob than be with their daugh
Emma sat on the chair searching for her best friend on her Facebook Account when her phone buzzed and she picked it up instantly.After reading the text message, she sighed in relief.It was Henry’s message to inform her that today also he won’t be having dinner with Emma.This is the third day in a row Henry has canceled his visit.She wondered what had happened that had made Henry so occupied that he didn’t even spare a call to her or bother to keep a check on her.Well, whatever the reason was, Emma was happy that Henry’s mind was distracted, and also, in this way he was staying away from her.It was a big relief for her.She returned her attention to her laptop, and finally found the Facebook Account of her friend, and instantly messaged her.Thankfully, she replied to Emma in time, and then soon they started to chat about the old days and Emma invited her for lunch.Her friend agreed, and both decided to meet at their favorite restaurant for lunch the next day.Tonight, Emma felt
“Yes, Lilian…”After a moment, Henry responded while continuing his work casually.“Mr. Cooper, I know that I was wrong…” Lilian sounded apologetic and Emma raised her brow in confusion.“Really?” Henry’s comment was sarcastic.Emma could feel Lilian flinching at the other end at the sarcasm in his voice.“I know you are David Cooper, but not, Henry Ford… I am sorry, I misunderstood you…” Lilian apologized in a sincere voice and Henry turned to his phone.“Are you sure, Lilian? Because if this happens again, I don’t think I would be able to trust you anymore.” Henry sounded serious.“No… No… This won’t happen anymore, Mr. Cooper… Never…”Immediately Lilian clarified her intentions to him and Henry looked pleased by her obedience.“Fine, I forgive you, then…” He said coldly and before Lilian would add more words to longer the conversation, he abruptly disconnected the call.BEEPWith a sarcastic look, Emma handed him his phone back and then returned to the pan where she was working bef
