I walked out of the bedroom and into the living room.
"Excuse me, Sharon. There's something we have to discuss with you," I interrupted her silly excitement but she ignored me.
My patience was running thin.
Ethan arrived beside me.
"Emma, let me handle this," he whispered in my ear.
"No," I stated, taking a stand.
I grabbed the magazine from Sharon's hand and held it behind my back. She looked at me wide-eyed and seemed ready to kill but I didn't move; I couldn't.
"Now that I have your attention, there's something we have to talk about in private, or we can do it here. I don't give a damn but we're going to talk to you now."
I had no idea that I had that in me but lately I had developed a courageous attitude, which I loved.
"Ethan, what's going on?" she asked as she stood up.

He was such an incredible human being. Never in my life had I thought I would actually get the chance of becoming so happy.You'll never amount to anything!" my foster mother screamed in my face and pushed me into my tiny, cold, dark room.I was ten.I was doing the chores of washing the dishes after dinner and accidentally broke a cup.She punched me in the back and yelled at me.

Emma's POVSharon and Ethan's mom appeared before my eyes. I was half naked and wrapped up between the covers on the bed."I don't believe my eyes," Ethan's mom started as she walked into the room and her eyes locked on me."I told you that we'd find her here. Here's the little black prostitute who seduced your son— my fiancee!" Sharon butt in, holding her chest as if she had just swallowed a very large pill."You're a shameless maid who'll do anything to get some money, even if that means sleeping in bed with your employer," Ethan's mom said with a hard look on her face. "You're disgusting and you disgust me. I'm giving you five minutes to get up and get out of my son's house!"I was stunned. So stunned that I couldn't speak. I couldn't wrap my mind around what, and who, was in front of me."I said to get up!" her voice echoed throughout the room.I pulled the sheet around me as I stood. She moved closer

Ethan's POVI had been calling Emma for hours and kept reaching her voicemail, and Halley's too. When I got back they would be grilled. I also wanted to know what the results of the pregnancy test. Would I be a dad or would I have to make a better effort?I couldn't concentrate on the meeting being held in front of me; I kept thinking about Emma."Sir, does that mean that the demands have been met?" Linda shooed my floating thoughts away.I raked my fingers through my hair and heaved a sigh. Linda looked at me."Sir, are you alright?" she asked with a small smile to show she wasn't making a scene."I'm fine," I answered and flipped through the proposals in front of me.I headed back to my hotel room, after the meeting, and called Emma again but got the same results. Voicemail. I called Halley and I got her voicemail too. Where were they and what were they doing? Something was wrong. Emma wouldn't ignore my
IMPERFECT Maid Chapter 35: The Swamp
Emma's POVI woke up tied to a chair with an excruciating pain at the back of my head. I looked around. I was inside of a small wooden house, similar to a shack. I let out a groan from the pain in the back of my head, which drew the attention of three guys who looked at me with raging eyes.One came over and stood right in front of me. He was approximately six feet, six inches tall, mid-forties with a dark chocolate complexion."What's a pretty little thing like you doing all alone in a dirty swamp?" he asked.The other two looked around the same age and built but had cream complexions."I was kidnapped." The words trembled through my lips."Who would want to do you any harm?" His voice was heavy like thunder."My fiancee's mother. She doesn't want me for her son."The three men broke into laughter."You poor thing.""Why am I here? Please let me go," I begged as tears came.&n

As I drove up to the mansion, every one of my household employees were lined up in front of the main entrance.I got out of the car with rage and anger. "Where's Emma?" I yelled, daring anyone to answer my question without knowledge.Their eyes only glanced at me.I was furious. I needed answers and all they could provide was eye contact. My eyes landed on Halley. "Halley, where's Emma?" I asked again, controlling my anger."Sir, all I know is that she was in the room and then Sharon and your mom came after her.""Where were you when they left with her?""They didn't leave with her. They had someone take her somewhere.""Where were you?!"She began to cry. "I was locked in the chambers."I pushed past everyone and headed inside and upstairs to m

I instructed my helicopter pilot to change course. I was relieved that she was found and at a hospital. She would get the treatment that she needed there.We landed on the hospital's roof top and moved towards the entrance. I took the elevator down and arrived at the fourth floor. A receptionist stood behind a desk flipping through papers. She gave me a pleasant smile as I approached."Hello, I'm Ethan Hollen. I'm looking for my fiancee, Emma Cole."She fixed her hair with her fingers and drew out her large chest as she smiled. Maybe she wanted to impress me, but it wasn't working. I was only attracted to one woman."Yes, Mr. Hollen. She's in recovery 0-10 on the third floor. It's only one floor down." She batted her eyelashes like a doll."Thank you," I said back before looki

Emma's POVIt'd been two weeks since I'd gotten back home and recovered, but I was reliving a nightmare. I kept envisioning Sharon and Mrs. Hollen inside the room with me whenever I tried to sleep.

How close I came to my death and the struggle and pain I endured trying to get out of it.Now, I was no longer pregnant with Ethan's baby, and that just did a number on me. I was traumatized, and had been since the doctors told me the news when I awoke.

I asked myself as I looked at the panties disgracefully.I tapped my left foot impatiently as I waited for him to come out the shower. My arms were folded on my chest and there wasn't anymore niceness left in me."What's this?" I asked him as he came out of the shower wrapped in his towel with another one drying his hair.He gazed down to the floor where the underwear lay. "We're not having sex, Emma, so pick up your underwear," he said and moved over to his closet.My blood came to a boil and I threw a pillow after him. It bounced off of the back of his head and fell onto the floor, but a pillow couldn't inflict the pain I wanted to do to him."These aren't mine asshole! Who are you sleeping with?""That's not your business. Besides, I'm not in a mood for this, so don't push me." He put on boxer shorts and a vest.&nb

Emma's POVI watched my family sitting around the dinner table, eating the food I prepared. Ethan was at the head table, eating away at his delicious juicy steak. Evan was eating slowly because he was texting on his phone, which he hid underneath the table so I wouldn't notice. Emily was looking at the food carefully and always asking if it was going to make her fat or if it was full of calories. EJ was eating like the good boy he ought to be. His behavior had changed around for the better. He had made friends with everyone in his classroom and we had no more bad reports about his temper.I couldn't help but look at what I'd accomplished with the man of my dreams. Never had I thought I'd be here in life, sitting in a mansion around a huge dinner table with my own family. Everyone in the foster homes and group homes told me I was worthless and I'd amount to nothing in life. No one loved me, cared for me or protected me-- even my parents deserted me.

Over there is what I call the Star Chart," she pointed to a poster on the wall that had the names of students and the stars they received for their academic performance.EJ had a full line. I was impressed. But there was another line for conduct and behavior, his had only one star while other students were all above five. I was disappointed, and Ethan was too.

It has been seven perfect years."Evan, if you don't come out of there I'm going to call your dad!""No! Don't call daddy. I'm coming out mommy!"He appeared in front of me smiling innocently like an angel. Well, at least threatening him by putting his dad on his case worked.I handed him his bath towel and toothbrush and led him to the bathroom. I turned the temperature of the water to warm."I don't want you to watch me bathe this time mommy. I'm a big boy and I could do it myself.""Okay, my big boy," I said with a smile and sat down on his bed."Mommy. Mommy!" Emily called from outside."I'm in your brother's room!" I called, hoping
