Much to Emily’s surprise, nothing else happened with Samantha this morning. Everything went on fine, and Samantha did not try to come up with any excuse or complaint to delay her coming to work. So, Emily arrived at the office five minutes earlier, and she could hardly believe her luck.Emily resumed work with so much enthusiasm, hoping that the day would be great for her. Little did she know that her sister, Samantha, has a truckload of bombs waiting to explode.At work, everything went great for the first part of the day, and contrary to everyone’s expectation, the CEO, Don Nick, did not return today. However, Emily’s ugly predicament started when one of her colleagues, a senior at the firm, walked up to her and demanded to send her on an errand."Hey, you..." the lady rudely called out to Emily.Emily did not seem perturbed by the way she had been addressed but went ahead to reply politely. "Miss. Kimberly Xerxes, good morning to you; it's good to see you," she smiled.Kimberly rol
"Says who...?" an angry Kimberly challenged.Hearing what the voice said, Emily was stunned, as were the twins, who were furious at the same time. They could not imagine who would dare interrupt their wrath and also tell them what to do.Emily wished that whoever had spoken would remain hidden in the crowd and not dare to show his face. She does not want anyone to get in trouble because of her.As it is, she was prepared to bear whatever came out of this alone, as she strongly believed that there was no way it would be greater than what she had to bear at home on a regular basis ever since she learned to pronounce her name."Oh... you now have a clique, right, and you plant them to stand up for you at times like this..." Kimberly accused."No... no..." Emily stuttered nervously, not sure whether her refusal would not give the intruder away, which was something she would not want to happen."Keep quiet, you weak and useless human. You already have your kind keeping to your bidding," Ti
"Then, as I said, your services are no longer needed here. So get inside, take whatever you have left, and leave this company immediately. Next time, you will learn not to poke your disgusting nose into an issue that has nothing to do with you," Kimberly Xerxes instructed with a menacing smile."And if you delay in doing so for even a second longer, I will get the securities to throw you out," the overly excited Timberline added.Emily could not keep quiet any longer. "No..." she yelled. "I am the one you want; I will gladly leave the establishment right away, don’t lay him off because of me," she begged."And we will soon come to you, loser," Timberline seethed."Not to worry, Emily, I’ve got this." Colbert appealed to Emily not to interfere, and he told the twins "You needed some stationery for the company, and it is the duty of my department to get them, and so here they are they. On what ground are your actions based?" he asked them.At this, they chuckled and growled at him. "You
Emily was dazed by the drama unfolding before her. She could feel the speed with which her heart raced, and it was as if it would burst out of her chest the next minute.A part of her wanted so much to wish Mr. Josh away. The stranger, Colbert Lesley, had done so little to aid her misfortune with the Xerxes twins, and she doubts Mr. Josh would be able to do anything to salvage the situation. To Emily, Mr. Josh would only deepen her shit.However, much to the dismay of the Xerxes twins, Mr. Josh went on. "Yes, Miss Xerxes. I sent Colbert to get the items, and since the items were gotten under my authority, you can make do with them.""But... but... he’s got no right to be here," Timberline protested.Hearing this, Emily's cheek burned, and she could feel her neck begin to get hot. Carefully, she adjusted the brown leather scarf wrapped around her neck and forced herself to remain calm. All along, she has kept herself in check, and so she mustn't lose her guard now."Yes, he does. And y
"I had to do it, darling. That was the only chance that I had."Whispers. "I get it. But... I mean is there no way... she might come back?"Giggles. "It was ages ago, little one. Long transformed into ice" she raised her shoulder in pride.It was Elise Lee and her daughter, Samantha, having a chat. They were in the sitting room, and even though they tried to limit the tone of their voices, Emily, who had just woken up, could hear them clearly from her room.An unusual hearing ability is one of the abilities that she got after possessing the green pearl, and as with the other strange abilities, Emily doesn’t know if she should be grateful for it or not.Of course, she loves her newfound powers as they give her an edge over others, but the fear of what might become of her should she be discovered overpowers her.Listening to the conversation between mother and child, Emily could not tell who or what they were talking about, but for some reason, she feels that the information has somethi
"And where is my mother?" Emily roared.Hearing Emily’s question, Elise became a bit relaxed because she now knew where the strange acting was coming from. A child, yes, what else can she expect from a helpless child that is desperate for her mother? Elise had feared that something had taken over Emily, but now she's got absolutely nothing to worry about.To Elise, this is not the first time that Emily would be acting up, and so she knows just the right way to put her in her place, and so with a smile, she said. "Oh, poor Benita. All she wanted was to bear a werewolf. I don’t blame her; she ran off as soon as she discovered that you are only human. Seeing your nature made her embarrassed. She could have given an arm to exchange you""Don’t dare me, Elise. I heard your conversation. Just tell me where to find my mother," Emily demanded with a low growl.All along, Samantha remained quiet and was wondering what might have come over Emily to make her dare to act the way she was acting in
Emily left the office and made her way to the bus stop to get a taxi to take her to the north side of the city. Earlier in the day, she had received a text message from Samantha demanding to meet with her at the Hot Sticks restaurant located on the north side of the city after the close of work.When she got to the bus stop, there were no taxis in sight. It is the rush hour of the day, and getting a taxi might be a little difficult, if not impossible. However, Emily knew that she must honour her date with Samantha if she wants to keep out of trouble at least in the meantime.She wondered why Samantha would not meet her at home but had decided that they meet at a restaurant a little far away from home. The Hot Stick restaurant is about twenty minutes drive away.Another option for her is to take the train, but that would not be advisable because the next train would be in an hour and she does not have all the time.She must return home in time to attend to her chores if she does not wa
"You came late," Samantha accosted Emily at the doorway into the restaurant."Sorry, I could not find a taxi," Emily replied quietly."And who is that young man that just dropped you off?" Samantha inquired."Hmm... Just nobody. He was kind enough to give me a lift," Emily responded.However, Samantha did not believe her, and she felt that there was more between Emily and the young man with the black Lexus Jeep."Actually, I almost believed that it would end with Don Nick, but I see you’ve got way lower taste," Samantha mocked. "Or the miserable Tyler," she hissed.Emily was in no way impressed with such a statement, and so she replied. "Whatever happened with Nick was all thanks to you. I was drunk on that night, and there was no way I would have chased after Nick, a man I barely knew, and ended up on his bed."Samantha was taken aback, and looking at Emily sternly, she asked. "And what are you implying, Emily?"Emily sighed before responding. "What I am saying, Samantha, is that on
