Emma screamed out of sheer shock and fright at what just happened. Her eyes widened in extreme terror as she watched her daughter fall to the ground.Her baby had just been shot by the obsessive psychopath that she once knew as her friend.“ No….no!" She said in shock and rushed as fast as her legs could carry her towards her little girl with Liam following behind her.“ What have you done?!" Liam yelled furiously at the bloody scene that had just ensued. He was angry, so angry that he wanted to pounce violently on Roland, hit him, and make him pay.But, they all knew that now wasn't the time. The first thing that had to be done was to find a way to save Emerald's life.“ Emerald….oh…no!" Roland stood horrified at the scene that just played out before him. He didn't mean to hurt anyone, not especially if it was Emma's daughter.“ No…no… I didn't. I didn't mean to shoot her, I… I lost control" he stuttered, his lips quavering at the horror he had just committed.Why did he pull the tr
Emma had been informed by Roland that Alex had plans to release Elizabeth out of prison using his connections.She could not let that happen and Roland advised that if she was going to do anything to stop that from taking place, Alex had to be arrested. According to the reports from Roland, Emma was able to get Alex's location, and she informed the police about it.It happened on a Saturday night when Alex was eating in his apartment. He had settled for dinner and was busy with a TV show when he heard the banging on his door.“Who's it?” He inquired. He was met with the most unexpected shock when the cops broke into his house and arrested him based on a warrant.“You're under arrest Mr. Alex,” they told him, and he tried to fight his way through, all to no avail.*****Emma was happy with the turn of events. Her daughter recovered and would soon be discharged from the hospital. She couldn't have asked for more.“ I'm so happy to see that you're okay, darling," Emma said to her daught
Emma's house. Liam and the kids were in the sitting room having a conversation. The kids were telling their father everything that had happened in their school during the weekdays. Liam was having fun listening to them. They were smart kids and also spoke intelligently, every bit of their actions made him happy to be their father. With a smile on his lips, Liam asked, “What score did you get in your schoolwork on Friday?”“I got a nine over ten,” Aziel replied, patting his chest proudly.“I got a ten,” Emerald giggled.“That's wonderful, baby,” Liam smiled broadly and reached for his daughter. He carried her from the floor and placed her on his lap.“Thank you, Daddy,” She grinned at him.Emerald was the first one to call him 'Daddy', the boys started saying it much later.“You're welcome, Emerald. I promise to take you to a Water park, if you do so excellently again,” Liam promised and pecked her cute cheek.“Daddy, what about me?” Aziel pouted his lips and folded his arms on his
They continued their hide-and-seek game for a while, until they got tired. They then went to the sitting room while Emma went upstairs to freshen up and put on something casual yet beautiful. She was going to watch a movie with some of her colleagues in the company.“Are you sure that you don't want to come with me?” Emma inquired, going down the stairs.“No, I want to spend time with my kids,” Liam replied.“Alright. Take care of them, I will tell you all about the movie when I come back,” Emma muttered and kissed his lips. “Mommy will be back soon,” She said, and the kids gave her kisses on their cheeks. “Bye,”“Bye,” Liam watched her leave and quickly whispered to his children, “Let's do this!”They giggled and left the sitting room with him. They began decorating the place and soon, Sophia, the kid's nanny joined them.They made sure to be fast about everything before Emma returned. When Emma came back home, she saw the light off. She found it strange, but then a smile brimmed
The next morning, Liam and Emma chose the number of guests that they wanted, and then they received a sample of the invitation card that they had chosen last night. The couple fell in love with the sample they were sent. It was quite beautiful. They planned to only get a few invitation cards for special guests and then send text messages to the rest of the employees. It wasn't necessary to make so many invitation cards since it wasn't for a wedding.“It's so pretty, I can't stop staring at it,” Emma chuckled softly. “I hope that we find a better design than this when the time for our wedding arrives,”“I hope so too,” Liam replied. “I get so happy, just from the thoughts of getting married to you,” He added with his lips quivering into a smile.Emma darted her gaze to him and pressed her lips against his.“I'm happy too,”She wanted to kiss him again, but the doorbell rang, interrupting her attempt.“I'm coming,” She declared, standing on her feet.She sauntered to the table and dro
Mr. Crown stepped out of the bathroom and the towel he was using to dry his hair, dropped from his hand when he saw his wife burning the invitation card. “What are you doing!” Mr. Crown yelled and rushed to her.He almost tripped to the floor, but he made sure to get to her and snatch the burning invitation card.“Ow!” He yelped when the fire burned his finger. He dropped the card on the floor and began trampling on it. “Fuck!” He cussed when his foot got burned as well.“Why would you do such a thing!” Mr. Crown yelled at her. “How can you burn the invitation card? Do you know the humiliation I went through just to get it?”“Where did you get it from? Don't tell me that you went to that snake's house to apologize and belittle yourself!” Mrs. Crown questioned and sprang to her feet. “Tell me you didn't do that,”“We are already defeated, why should we keep fighting someone that we might not win against?” Mr. Crown asked. “It's better for me to be in a closer relationship with Emma. S
Liam kissed Emma's lips and tried getting off her, but she grabbed his collar and pulled him back.“Where are you going?” Emma asked, gasping because of the breathless kiss they had shared.“We have to go downstairs and meet the guests. I just wanted to play with you a little bit,” Liam replied and tried getting up again.“You aren't going anywhere, finish what you started,” Emma laughed. “I'm already feeling excited, why would you leave me hanging?”“Your makeup and hair will get ruined. You will spend another hour getting ready. We can't keep the guests waiting, it's unfair,” Liam said, regretting his actions.“I care about the guests too, but they can eat and have a little fun while waiting for us. I promise not to take time while getting ready again,” Emma said, giving him a cute look. “Let's not go downstairs, please,”Liam gazed at her face and was instantly enchanted.“Alright, fine,” He chuckled, excited as she was.They kissed each other's lips lightly and began to undress.
“Emma,” Liam whispered and caught her wrist. He pulled her gently to himself. “They just want to ruin our night, you shouldn't let them have their way. I will handle them myself, okay?”Emma was hesitant at first, but then she understood him and decided to relent.“Alright, I'll let you handle this situation, but I don't want them in this party when I return,” Emma said, having the urge to ease herself.“I promise that they will be gone before you know it,” Liam smiled and pecked her lips.The kiss made her more relaxed, and it reassured her that she wouldn't have to see their faces when she returned.As Emma exited the sitting room, Liam went to the unwanted guests. He never wanted Mr. Crown to come, but he was acting all sick and adamant. Liam had no choice that day but to hand over the first invitation card to him.“Why did you bring her here?” Liam asked, straightforwardly.He didn't want to bicker with them, so he spoke again before either of them could respond.“I gave you the c
“What I'm feeling is none of your business. Just let me out of this place already! Love is by choice, not force!” Emma cried out and hoped that her bodyguards would find her.“You're going to understand the kind of love I have for you after we get married,” Jacked beamed psychotically, his eyes devilishly scrutinizing her body. “The baby will be aborted after we get married,”Emma gasped, and her hands protectively covered her stomach.“I have to endure his children in our home, I won't bear to raise another one,” Jackson snarled, his eyes darkening at her.“I'll kill you if you try to touch my baby,” Emma threatened, tears brimming in her eyes.“You can try. I love it when you're so rough with me,” He laughed like a maniac.'Liam, please find me. I think the pregnancy made me emotional and now, I have committed a huge mistake. Please save me,' Emma cried inwardly.“A man is coming to get you ready for the wedding. I'll get ready too, see you till then,” Jackson winked at her and left
“Thank you for sending your men to help me, those bodyguards of hers were close to catching me,”Emma heard her father's voice but found it difficult to open her eyes.The next voice she heard was quite unfamiliar.“Well, you made a drastic move to bring my happiness to me. Why wouldn't I help you?” The man responded to Mr. Crown.“May I ask what your name is?” Mr. Crown inquired, his curiosity piqued.“My name is Jackson Taylor,” He responded.The mention of the last name 'Taylor', made Emma more eager to snap out of her unconsciousness. Fortunately, her body cooperated and her eyes slowly opened.Her vision was blurry at first, but within a few seconds, it cleared. She surveyed her environment and saw that she was in someone's sitting room.She darted her gaze to the two men seated on the couch. Anger surged through her when she saw Mr Crown.“You told me that you were having a heart attack!” Emma cried out as she felt a sharp pain in her head.“I am sure that you would have been pl
Emma awakened and found herself in her room. “Honey, are you okay?” Liam asked, his voice full of concern.“Mommy, how do you feel?” Alden asked, holding his mother's hand.Emma groaned a bit and slowly sat upright.“I'm okay,” Emma replied as she saw the worried expressions on their faces.“Are you sure that you're fine, or should I call the doctor?” Liam asked.“Hey, don't make things more complicated. Which doctor would want to come all the way here to examine me?”“There's nothing that money can't do. I can even give him or her a free ride on my yacht,” Liam responded, unconvinced by her positive response. “Mummy, Daddy is right. A doctor should check if you are truly alright or not. We don't want you to fall sick,” Alden muttered and hugged his mother.“I don't want you to be ill either,” Aziel said, resting his head on her lap.Emerald was beside her father, hiccuping. She was so scared when she saw her mother unconscious on the floor. It was her screams that alerted her fathe
Over the weekend, Liam and his family headed to his private island to have some fun. They went via a chopper that Liam had purchased.As they arrived at the Island, they stepped out of the chopper and watched it fly away with the pilot.“Bye,” Emerald smiled, waving at the chopper.“The pilot isn't going to see you, stop waving,” Aziel scoffed.“I wasn't waving at the pilot,” Emerald retorted, continuing to wave to annoy her brother.“Follow me,” Liam said and began walking away.Emma and the kids followed him into the mansion that was situated on the island. The kids were so excited to play and make sand castles when they returned to the shore.“This mansion is beautiful,” Emma commented, having her seat beside Liam. “Yes, it is,” Liam smiled, glancing around. “It has been a while since I've been here,” “Sophia would have loved to come,” Emma said, referring to the Nanny. “I'm sure that she's happy about taking a break. I also believe that we should spend some quality time with ou
Mr. Crown hung up the phone and began lamenting.“What am I going to do now? I haven't thought of anything yet,” Mr. Crown muttered, his voice laced with worry. “How am I going to tear them apart? I've used almost every means I know, but they've remained madly in love. What could I do to change that? Is there anything that can make their love fade away?”“Even if they break up, how am I going to force Emma to get married to a stranger? She's no longer a kid, and she doesn't want to see me either.” Mr. Crown muttered, unable to think of anything that could help him.“I am as good as dead if I don't get this done,” Mr. Crown lamented, his eyes stinging with tears. “What have I gotten myself into?”He darted his teary gaze upstairs and said, “I could have asked for her help or ideas, but she's not in the state of mind to respond to me,”“I can't let that man pressure me into doing anything. I've got to relax and think carefully about my next steps,” Mr. Crown said, sucking in a deep brea
Emma clenched her fists and darted her gaze to the shattered vase. She looked at her stepmother again, and anger surged through her veins.“I can't believe that I was feeling sorry for you and your daughter,” Emma gasped, shocked by her own emotions. “I have been tormented from the moment that you came into this house and your daughter set me up and almost ruined my life,”Emma took a step forward, but Liam held her back.“I've got this,” Emma muttered and gently removed her hand from his grip. She walked to her stepmother and snarled coldly, “I shouldn't pity you. You deserve whatever is happening to you right now. Your daughter also deserved to die, I wish her death were more painful,”“You bitch,” Mrs. Crown raised her hand to slap Emma, but Emma grabbed her hand before it struck her face.Without thinking twice, Emma slapped her so hard that she was knocked down to the floor.“Your daughter has tried killing me more than once. She tried using my allergies against me, she almost d
“Ahhh!!” Elizabeth screamed as fell off the rooftop.Liam stretched his hand to catch her, but he was too late. Her body dropped to the floor with a loud thud and her skull broke.Liam gasped at the horrific sight as blood gushed from her broken head. He heard Emma's gasps from behind, she looked so shaken.“Oh my…God,” Emma shuddered, her hands flew to her mouth in shock. “Oh, my goodness!!!” She let out a scream and tears slipped from her eyes.She shouldn't be crying over someone who had tried so many times to ruin her life, but she couldn't help it. Everything happened too suddenly.“Liam, what…are we going to do? Is she dead?” Emma asked, tears rolling down her cheeks.“Yes, she's dead,” Liam replied, a hint of sadness in his voice.He was unhappy that the poor baby lost its life. It might not have been his child, but he didn't wish for any of this to happen.“Liam, we might get blamed for her death. Are there no cameras around here?” Emma asked, looking around.“There are no cam
They broke the hug and smiled at each other.“Let's have some lunch,” Vanessa proposed and rubbed her stomach. “I'm so famished,”Emma chuckled and folded the DNA result into her bag.“Let's go,” Emma said and they exited the hospital.They boarded a cab and Vanessa told the name of the restaurant to the cab driver.“Bring your phone. I need to send the pieces of evidence to you,” Vanessa muttered and extended her hand.With a smile on her lips, Emma gave her phone to her. Vanessa transferred the details and returned the phone to Emma.“I might head to the police station and give them the details of the doctor, so if anything happens to me, they would know whom to arrest,” Vanessa said, her voice laced with a hint of fear.“He's not going to do anything to you. But it wouldn't do any harm to protect yourself. Thank you so much for confronting him on my behalf. I have been stressed, and it was quite shocking to learn that he faked the results. I was speechless,” Emma laughed lightly.“
Emma was shocked by the doctor's response. Though she wasn't surprised that Elizabeth would do something like that, she didn't expect the doctor that Liam spoke so reputedly about to be a partner in her evil.“I can't believe this,” Vanessa gasped. “Weren't you concerned about the damage the DNA result could do? How could you be so heartless?”The doctor lowered his head and released a sigh.“I'm sorry,” He apologized.“Emma, let's go,” Vanessa muttered and held her hand.As both of them walked to the door, the doctor stopped them.“Wait,”Emma and Vanessa halted their steps and slowly turned to him.“What about the money?” the doctor asked, stunning both of them.“You greedy bastard!” Vanessa raised her voice in anger. “How can you expect another payment after what you did? You should be stripped of your license for your actions!”“I told you the truth because you promised to pay me double of anything that Elizabeth paid me. You should keep to your part of the deal,” The doctor insis
