Emmerson

I don’t think twice. I scoop Mina into my arms and carry her toward the front of the house, my heart hammering in my chest. She’s barely conscious.

Behind me, Thomas and Jason haul Trey, each taking one of his arms as he stumbles forward. Tina follows closely, her voice frantic, but I don’t stop to listen. The rest of the party trails after us, murmurs of fear and confusion in the air.

By the time we reach the front, the ambulance is already there. But there’s only one.

Damn it. There’s no time to wait for another. We have to make do.

I step into the ambulance first, gently placing Mina onto the stretcher. Thomas and an ambulance nurse help get Trey inside, settling him onto the bench along the side. I barely glance at him. My focus is on Mina—on her pale face.

Tina tries to climb in, but I stop her, stepping out before she can get past me.

I lock eyes with Thomas, my voice sharp.

“Nobody leaves this estate. Not a single person at this party leaves until I find out what happe

  • MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW    Emmerson - The Poison

    EmmersonMina was in and out of it, but by the next morning, luckily, she woke up. She was totally disoriented, her face scrunched up in pain, but the moment I saw her eyes open, relief crashed over me I immediately ran to the doctor, who came in and explained everything to her slowly. I watched her carefully, knowing exactly when her mind caught up with what they were saying. The moment they mentioned the baby, her entire body tensed in fear.She freaked out. Her eyes welled up, panic overtaking her pain.But the doctors reassured her. They told her that she and the baby were fine, but she would have to stay at the hospital for further monitoring. They needed to make sure the poison hadn’t caused any long-term effects on her or our unborn child.Mina broke down, tears streaming down her face.I hated seeing her cry. I leaned in, took her trembling hand in mine, and whispered, “You have to be strong, baby. You’re body

  • MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW    Emmerson - Why

    Mina rested her hand gently on her stomach, the other reaching for mine. Her fingers were warm and comforting, but the pain in her eyes still lingered."Please, Emerson, don’t blame yourself for this, okay?" she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "I didn’t know it could have happened, and you didn’t know it either."I shook my head, frustrated with myself. "I know, but I was just so surprised... I knew she didn’t like you, then all of a sudden, you came back, and she was all over you, pretending to care, acting like she was so happy about the baby. It should have been a red flag, but I didn’t know that. I didn’t know at the time, but I should’ve looked into it. I could have lost you if that idiot Trey hadn’t eaten your pudding."Mina’s expression softened as she reached up, cupping my cheek gently. "It’s okay," she said, her voice steady but filled with warmth. "I’m here, we’re here, the baby’s here. I just hope that we can be fine."

    Emerson sighs. I can see that he doesn't want to take me to see Rose, but he relents as he tells the driver to take us to the police station.We reach there, and Emerson goes through all the procedures, talking to the police and everything until we are given a chance to talk to her. I sit there waiting for them to take her to a room so I can see her, but after a while, the police officer—the detective working on the case—comes in and says that Rose doesn’t want to see me."Well, I want to see her," I tell him. "I want this."The detective exhales. "We’re already going out of our way. You aren’t even allowed to see her. We’re breaking protocol letting you see her, so if she doesn’t want to see you, we can’t force her."I look towards Emerson, who is standing beside me. "I want to talk to Rose," I tell him again, my voice firm.He sighs, then turns to the detective. "Detective, can we talk for a minute outside, please?"The detective looks at me, then at Emerson, before nodding and step

  • MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW    The Betrayal

    My husband’s phone pinged with a message. I was about to take it to him at work because he’d forgotten it at home. The message was from my sister. Curiosity piqued, I entered the password to unlock the phone and went to the message.“I AM PREGNANT.”My eyes nearly bugged out of my head. Pregnant? I had to sit down for this. I sank into a nearby chair and began scrolling through the messages between my sister and my husband. The evidence was clear: they had been having an affair for a very long time, and now it looked like she was pregnant. Something I couldn’t even manage to do.A tear escaped my eye as I tried to compose myself. It shouldn’t have been a complete surprise, considering how close they had recently become and how oddly they had been acting. I had suspected they might be involved, but I didn’t want to believe that the two people I trusted most could betray me in this way. Still, I should have suspected it.She’s probably not pregnant with him, I lied to myself as I texted

  • MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW    A Night Out

    While still dancing and thinking about the man who had just walked into the bar, I felt the guy I was grinding against starting to get a little too handsy. His hands clumsily wandered towards my waist, then my butt, and soon he was trying to slip his fingers inside my dress. I swatted at his hands, but he didn't stop. Frustrated, I decided to leave the dance floor, but he grabbed me and pulled me back.I was too drunk and uncoordinated to fight him off effectively. As I pushed him away, telling him to leave me alone, “Let go of me…..let me go.“ His hands continued their unwanted exploration. The music was too loud and everyone around us was lost in their own world, and no one seemed to notice or care.Just as his hand began to gain entrance into my dress, rising higher and higher, dread filled me. I struggled to push him away. Suddenly, I heard a fierce growl. "Stay away from her! She said no."The man was shoved away from me, and I looked towards my rescuer. The voice sounded fam

    “No, I don't think it's a great idea. I think I’m just going to go. You're already here, you’re fine," he responds, clearly uncomfortable."What if something happens to me?" I ask."Nothing's going to happen to you here. Its a great hotel and there is good security. I wouldn't just leave you anywhere.....," he says."How do you know that?“ I interrupt him."Because....." He sighs as he watches me again before asking, “What do you want from me now?““ Come inside, we can stay on the couch or something. Don’t leave me alone; I really don’t want to be alone tonight. Please....!"He looks at me, weighing his options, before finally relenting. "Alright, fine," he says, closing the door behind him and stepping into the room.He goes and takes a seat on the sofa, and I sit down next to him. "Do you want some coffee?" he asks. "Maybe I could order it or something.""No, just a glass of water, maybe," I say softly.He pours water into a glass from a bottle and hands it to me. Our eyes meet, an

    “Yes, Rita is the one I should have married. It was a mistake marrying you, but don't think you can come crawling back to me. When we're finally divorced, I don't want to ever see you again.""I will never crawl back to you, but you'll regret betraying me and going behind my back. I’ll make sure of it.""Aha, you wish." He answers mockingly "You can't do nothing. You have no power, atleast not without me. You are going to regret this decision. I am still on the fence on wether I should fire you from the company, so tread lightly.""Whatever you want Eric" I say back with a broad smile."I don't know what I ever saw in you. Rita is just so amazing to me and we are so happy together."“You can't fight love, sis” Rita adds proudly, kissing Eric's cheek.Emerson, who had been sitting quietly all this time, finally spoke up. "Eric, I'm really disappointed in you. You know that Rita and Mina are sisters. What you did has broken her family. Why would you sleep with Nina, and even worse, get

    "What?" Both Rita and Eric asked in unison, their voices laced with disbelief. "You can't be serious," Rita added, her face twisted in shock. Eric, on the other hand, was filled with a combination of anger and confusion. "It can't… you can't marry her. Dad, what do you mean you asked her to marry you? This will make me a laughing stock. You can't do this, Dad. You can't! She's my wife. You can't marry her!""Your 'ex-wife'," I corrected him, smiling as I took Emerson's hand in mine. By now, we had gained the curious gazes of people around us. The guests, sensing the tension, began to inch closer, eager to hear what the argument was all about. When they noticed our intertwined hands, mine and Emerson's the whispers started. Murmurs spread like wildfire. I could see Eric growing more anxious, his face reddening as the embarrassment consumed him. Rita stood next to him, clearly as mortified as he was."Dad, what the fuck do you think you're doing? You can't marry her!" Eric's voice

    “I… I don’t feel so good,” Trey mumbled again, rubbing his stomach.Emerson, who had been watching the scene, raised an eyebrow. “Maybe you shouldn’t have come to the party if you weren’t feeling well, Trey.”Before he could finish his sentence— Trey gagged. And then, it happened. Right there at the table.Trey vomited.People shot up from their seats, stumbling away. The laughter and celebration turned into gasps of shock.I stared, my pudding forgotten in my hands.Trey’s face was pale. He looked absolutely miserable.“I… I really don’t feel so good,” he groaned, sweating profusely.Tina rushed to his side. “Oh my God.” She placed a hand on his forehead and gasped. “You’re burning up!”Panic flickered in her eyes as she turned to the group. “Should we call an ambulance?

    Emerson had spoiled me endlessly during our little honeymoon. Though it was just two days—technically only one full day before we had to return—it was everything I could have asked for. Just us. No distractions. No stress. Pure happiness.And the sex... Nothing intense but still, you get the picture.As we drove back home, Emerson glanced at me with a smirk.“I already called Tina. Told her we were on our way. She said everyone has already arrived, so they’re all waiting for us.”I sighed. “Ah, okay.”I wasn’t sure how I felt. Excited? Nervous? Overwhelmed?“We shouldn’t—” I hesitated. “I’m kind of not in the mood.”“Don’t be.” Emerson reached for my hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. “Tina’s been so excited about this. Even if you're exhausted, even if it doesn’t match our wedding excitement, just act excited, okay?”I chuckled. “Okay, Emerson. I’ll try.”As soon as we pulled into the driveway, the front door burst open.Tina.She practically flew toward us, her face lighting up.

    I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "I've been so tired, I really haven’t thought about it. So, what are you thinking?"He hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Okay, I just think we should get married. Soon."I raised an eyebrow. "I know that.""But given your condition, I don’t want to stress you out with everything else," he said, carefully watching me."Yes, I know. That’s why I’m saying let’s forget about having a big party and a whole thing," I explained. "I want this baby to be born while we’re already legally married. So, let’s just get married, now. Today, tomorrow—let's just do it. We don’t have to have a party, we don’t have to invite anyone except our witnesses, of course. But come on, let’s just get married."Emerson’s lips parted slightly like he wasn’t expecting me to say that. "But… what about the wedding you wanted? I know. You were excited about our wedding. You had already planned everything."His gaze fixed on me, searching for my reaction."I know," I a

    Tina and I continued chatting about normal things—pregnancy, fashion, makeup. She gave me a few tips from her own pregnancy and shared stories about when Trey was young, and the struggles she had raising him. It was a surprisingly good time with her.As we talked, Madeleine came out with some snacks she had prepared. She placed them down on the table, and as she did, Tina turned to her."Maria, right? Is that your name again?"Madeleine straightened slightly. "It’s Madeleine."I could tell she didn’t like Tina much, but Tina was undeterred."Yes, Madeleine! I remember you. You’ve been with Emerson for the longest time, haven’t you?"Madeleine nodded. "Yes."Tina smiled, her eyes lighting up. "Well, that gives me an idea." She turned to me. "How far along are you now, Mina?""About six months.""Okay! So, have you thought about having a baby shower?"I blinked at her. "A baby shower? No, I’m not really planning anything.

    After a tense silence, Madeline looked between Emerson and me, waiting for an answer. Finally, Emerson spoke."Why don't you give us a few minutes, Madeline?"She frowned, crossing her arms. "What are you even going to discuss? Can't you just say it here? I thought I was a part of this family."I exhaled, trying to ease the tension. "It's fine," I said, my voice softer now. "If Madeline feels like she can handle it, I trust her. She's been there my whole life. She's a great mom—we all know that." I looked at Emerson. "And you know what? I think… fine. It’s okay."Emerson glanced at me, then back at Madeline. "Okay. But anytime you feel like it's too much, Madeline, don’t feel indebted because of what my family and I have done for you. Just tell me, and we’ll get you help."Madeline nodded. "I know that, Emerson. Don’t worry about it."Just then, Jason walked in, looking impatient. "Aren’t you finished with breakfast?
