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
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’
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
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
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
