It was quiet and peaceful when Emma opened her eyes, she didn’t remember what happened to her but when she saw the tall figure at a distance standing with his back to her, all the flashes of the past returned.“You… You killed Lillian?” Emma’s voice was trembling as she asked Henry straightly.Henry’s back stiffened and he turned towards her slowly, “We should discuss this later, the doctor is on his way…” His face gave nothing and Emma was sure that he was just trailing the topic instead of facing the truth.“You killed her…” This time it wasn’t a question, nor a doubt, it was a straight accusation at him. She stood from her place with deep raging inside of her heart.“How could you…” She snapped when he didn’t deny the accusation.“You should be on the bed, the doctor’s on the way.” Henry held her shoulders pressing her back on the bed, he was certain she needed to see the doctor while Emma gave not a damn for his concern at all.“I don’t need a doctor…” She snapped as she pushed hi
Emma’s hopes again started to rise from the ashes when she saw the birth certificate of Henry and David, this was the main evidence to prove that Mrs. Cooper gave birth to twin boys that day, not one.“This will surely be the strongest evidence to prove Henry’s true identity.” She held the old man’s hand with glee in her eyes.“Yes, his identity, but his crimes remained in the dark… We need to get solid evidence to prove his crimes too…” The old man told her cautiously and Emma’s mind went to Leon’s words.She needed to steal that drive from Henry’s study, but how?Her heart again started to get uncomfortable, she didn’t want to face Henry anymore, she couldn't bear his sight at all.Pushing away the distressing thoughts, Emma started to help the old man, he was in a very pitiful condition, and Emma’s heartfelt sad as she looked at his misery.First, he lost his son, and then his only granddaughter, and the murderer of both people were the same person, Henry Ford.The old man was weak
Emma was distressed by Henry’s words, she needed fresh breath to inhale and asked the maid to prepare a car for her. She wanted to spend her time with Lilian’s grandfather. Maybe by helping him she would be able to calm her worries and forget about Henry temporarily.But instead of her mood getting better, she felt devastated when she found out about Lilian’s grandfather’s demise.His neighbor told her he was devastated after his granddaughter's sudden demise and Emma had witnessed it with her own eyes.With a broken heart and a crushed soul, she returned to the villa and broke into sobs, what else is left to happen now?****At Midnight, silent footsteps approached Emma's room towards her bed but then stopped when Emma was found lying on the ground, miserable and devastated.Henry inhaled a deep breath trying to surpass his guilt, Emma’s condition was getting worse day by day.He never wanted her to live in pain like this, but no matter what he would do she would always end up gettin
“I have scheduled our wedding in two weeks,” Henry revealed and Emma’s face dropped from disappointment.“Also, my father has agreed to this marriage.” He sat closer to Emma and Emma stayed numb from his closeness.“Is that all?” She asked with a dull face as expected the “Good news” was only for him not for her.“How are you feeling?” Henry stretched his hand and held her hand in his.Emma remained numb to his touch, and she responded faintly, “Fine.”“If you feel any discomfort let me know.” He gently caressed her hand and finally, Emma regained her senses, seeing him too close to her, she felt stunned and stared at him nervously.“Don’t get too close, I need some space…” She blurted out impassively and Henry’s brow arched in surprise.“I didn’t mean to intrude in your privacy, Emma…” He looked at her apologetically but his hand remained to hold hers and caressed it gently.“But you did.” Emma narrowed her eyes at him and then pointed them at their locked hands.“I like touching you
A woman wearing a silver silk long dress slept carelessly under the watch of Henry. She was unaware of his presence completely and turned to the side with a low groan of discomfort in her sleep.Her dizzy eyes blinked and there she saw a dark silhouette on her sofa, in her room, staring at her intently.“You…”With a gasp, Marcella exclaimed and sat up.Before she would rush to escape, Henry snapped his fingers and the lights of her room lit up with a handful of men standing at guard around her.Marcella didn’t need to think why he had appeared in the middle of the night in her room, she knew exactly why he had appeared here.“Emma has given you something Marcella, I am here to collect those,”BOOMHenry spoke calmly as though he and Marcella were sitting at the table for dinner.“I don’t know what you are talking about…” Marcella acted to be clueless and Henry scoffed at her skills.He waved his hand and soon the people around her started to turn her room upside and down but they fou
Henry held his hand out for her to return the drive she had stolen from his study but Emma stayed adamant and didn’t move an inch.Henry’s patience was running out and finally, he stood from his place, the frustration on his face was visible.“Give me back the drive.” He roared.Emma stepped back in fright and the drive in her hand dropped unknowingly.BOOMHenry smirked evilly and then bent down to retrieve the drive dropped from her hand.“See, there it is…” He waved the drive in front of Emma’s face and then put it inside his pocket, keeping it safe.“I am a monster, but who are you, Emma?” Henry stepped towards her, questioning her in a dark voice.Emma’s face turned pale, her heart was pounding heavily in her chest, her gaze fixed on his shoes and she kept retreating with each step he was getting closer to her.“You… You left me with no choice, Henry…” Emma stuttered, and Henry’s step haltered.The cool sweat started to cover her back as she waited for him to react or say somethi
“This could prove to be a danger to the child… Where are your senses gone, Henry?”The doctor stared at Henry with evident displeasure, he was the same surgeon who did his surgery hence he knew about his real identity, and if he knew what he had done to Emma then surely it was going to get into the knowledge of his father too.“Give me something to sleep…” Ignoring his questions, Henry demanded and the doctor’s brow furrowed from distress.He opened his medicine box and handed Henry the medicine with a cautious warning, “Only when you needed it the most.”With a stern face, Henry nodded in agreement and then sent him away.After all, he had done the task for whom he has called him here.Emma was still unconscious while Henry was in a terrible state, after everything happened, now he was 100% sure that no matter what Emma could never become his no matter how much effort he would put in.She remained the same, the hatred in her heart would remain the same.The whole night was spent in a
The preparation for the wedding has started and it didn’t surprise Emma at all. After all the things that happened, she knew Henry would remain stubborn in his decision.He won’t let her give birth to this child out of wedlock, and what choice she has left instead of accepting him as her lawful husband?Seeing the decorations in the backyard from her balcony, Emma’s heart tightened, she remembered the time when she and Jacob got married in the presence of their closed one which included Emma’s parents.They were the most important people at their wedding, at that time, she had never thought that one day her marriage would end like this on rocks, and then again she would turn into a bride but not for Jacob, for someone else.It hurts too much to imagine anyone else as her groom beside Jacob.Emma inhaled a deep sigh, even the air in Henry’s villa was making her feel like a prisoner, now, she has burned all hopes of flying away from here.She knows she has stuck here for life and as soo
