“Hurry…”In the hospital, a few groups of doctors were pacing back and forth to remove the people from their way while pushing the stretcher straight into OT.In case of an emergency, the doctors are always alert, but in this emergency, they are more alert because of the guns in the hands of the men around them.Just by the crowd of men gathered around them told them that the man on the stretcher wasn’t any ordinary man.“Just keep him stable… No one will operate on him…” Bradley commanded the doctors, making them stunned.Hurriedly they started to examine the lifeless body on the stretcher, it stunk like garbage.Too awful for them to bear.But they were not even allowed to clean the patient at all.Helplessly, they tried to examine the man and then start to stabilize him.“We’re losing his pulse… He has been injected with the poison, we need to give him an antidote…” The doctor looked at Bradley helplessly but Bradley stayed tight-lipped he didn’t allow anyone to operate on his boss
“PHEWW…”Henry spat at the floor showing his disobedience to his father and sneered out loud.“So, finally, you know that I am not your charming son, David…” He let go of Ronald and stood straight in front of him while straightening his clothes.A layer of arrogance and hate remained on his face.“David could never hurt anyone so brutally… He was a man with a heart…” The old man spoke with a stern face remembering his deceased son, David Cooper.“Huh, a heart which gave him death… So lucky for him…” Henry mocked and the old man fisted his hand trying to calm his emotions.His son, David was always an obedient child, and his only child, he loves him from the bottom of his heart but he left him because of a disease.Because of Jack’s shrewdness and his obsession with power, Mr. Cooper didn’t want to hand over the business to him.And then one day he found hope, he found a criminal named Henry Ford who was his lost son, the twin brother of David Cooper.He never knew his son existed befo
“I am looking forward to our next date…” Henry said with a seductive smile and Marcella blushed as he kissed her knuckles and then guided her towards her car.“Soon, David.”Marcella got into her car. Her eyes glistened, this blind date was surely the best of all.CLICKHenry closed the door of her car and stepped back, allowing the driver to drive away.When Marcella’s car was out of his sight, his smile dropped and his face turned ashen.He pulled out his phone and called Bradley.“Bradley, I want a brief check on Marcella’s background. Also, I need the details of her contacts… Also, tap her phone as soon as you can.”Henry ordered with a stern face.Maybe with Marcella, he would be able to find a trace of Emma.He was eager to find her and kill her lover right in front of her eyes, to imprint the same pain she had inflicted on him.****“This is the old number, we have tried it, but it’s switched off. With the location, we found the phone in her apartment, under her bed.”Bradley g
Seeing the devil return to her, Emma got panic and rushed back into her room locking it behind her.CLICKHA … HA … HA …“You can’t run away from me, Emma…” Henry’s devil laughter echoed and soon the door started to shudder from the outside.BOOMThe lock was broken, and a group of men rushed inside gripping Emma’s arm furiously and dragging her outside to their boss, Henry.THUMPEmma fell heavily on the ground, her hands landed near Henry’s foot.“You don’t look happy to see me, my little vixen.” Henry held Emma’s chin tightly and forced her to look at him.PHEWEmma spat on his face in disgust and Henry groaned in fury.The next moment, Emma felt the prickling pain in her scalp, and then a heavy slap landed on her face.PAAShe fell back on the ground with a low whimper.Henry angrily wiped his face and then pulled out his knife.“You still haven’t realized what mistake you have done, Emma…” He said looking dangerous and Emma gulped nervously.“Bring his dear husband…” Henry comman
BOOM“What’s that noise?” Henry looked at the maid in front of him and questioned.“Sir… the madam… The madam isn’t eating anything… We can’t force her anymore…” The maid said in surrender.Henry stared at her with deep annoyance and then walked towards the door from which the noises were coming.“I will kill myself… I will kill myself…”When Henry entered the room, he found Emma shouting while standing at the corner of the balcony.Seeing Henry enter, Emma took a step further towards the balcony to threaten him.“I’ll jump if you step closer… I’ll jump…”Henry let out a deep sigh and then gestured for all the maids to leave the room.BOOMThe maids left quietly while Emma looked terrified by being alone with Henry in a room.What if he tried to force her?“Don’t… Don’t come near me…”As soon as Henry lifted his foot, Emma warned him.Henry let out a deep sigh and then shaking his head, he took a place on the bed.“You’re forgetting Emma… You still have your parents…” Henry reminded h
“Enjoy the party, Emma…”Henry whispered in Emma’s ear as he let go of her hand and went away to deal with his business.Emma looked around the crowded place which was filled with all unfamiliar faces.She found a corner and sat there watching everyone blankly, being imprisoned for a whole week, Emma felt like her brain got numb.Now sitting around the chattering people, she felt normal and alive, again.Her tears have also dried from the continuous mourning of Jacob’s loss. Hence, now she should try to save those who were left behind.Emma was deeply lost in her thoughts when her attention was taken away by a pair of young girls, they were dancing together happily, young, energetic, and mischievous.Both looked protective of each other and caring too.Emma’s heart tightened when their appearance reminded her of Emma’s old days with her best friend Marcella, she wondered why Marcella had agreed to marry Henry.But whatever the reason was, she had to warn her about Henry’s real identit
Outside of the college, Lilian was chatting with one of her friends when she spotted a familiar figure leaning on the car.Just one look from him was enough to give her goosebumps all over her body.She swallowed nervously and then sent her friend away. Cautiously, she walked to the car and got in.CLICKBoth people stayed quiet and the tension started to brew in the wind.Lilian opened her mouth but she didn’t know what to say hence she closed it again.“You shouldn’t have given her your phone…” Henry broke the silence and Lilian squirmed in her place.“I didn’t know her intentions…” Lilian spoke the truth and Henry already knew it but still, he needed an explanation from her.“I have brought you a new phone with a new sim card…” Henry informed making Lilian's eyes wide from surprise, she felt warm from his concern.But she didn’t know that the reason for doing this wasn't near to Henry's concern but just to keep her away from Marcella, after all, he can’t let Marcella know what kind
“What is your name?”Shoving away the camera to one of his men, Henry stepped straight toward the detective who was tied to the chair and was terrified by Henry’s power.“Uhmm.. Brook Lance… My name is Brook…” The man stuttered frightened.“Brook, do you love your life?” Henry questioned, his hand pressed on one of his shoulders giving him a fair idea of his strength.“Yes…” Brook looked at him in desperation.“So then, you’ll do what I say… And I’ll grant you your life back…``Henry spoke viciously and instantly Brook nodded his head even when he had no idea what he wanted from him.“Take those pictures to Marcella, but hide my address from her…” Henry spoke and Brook immediately nodded his head in agreement.“I’ll do whatever you say, Sir… Please, let me go…”Henry stepped away satisfied with his fear and obedience.“Let him go.”He ordered his men and then walked inside the villa, and back to Emma.He noticed the maid walking to Emma’s room with the tray of food and he stopped her.
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’
