Emma was at home with the kids and Roland, having dinner. She decided to tell them about her trip with her boss. “Guys, I want to talk about something,” Emma uttered, slowly dropping her spoon.“What do you want to talk about, Mom?” Aziel asked, curiously staring at his mother. “Don't tell us that you think this food is poisoned, too.” Emma laughed as she heard his words. “No, it's not about that.” Emma shook her head, glancing at Roland, who had his gaze intently at her. “Then what is it about? Please tell us because the surprises we've been getting are becoming unbearable.” Roland said, unable to hide the annoyance in his voice. He hadn't been happy with her behavior since she started working with Brooke Tech. She had been acting strangely, staying late nights out and doing things that she never did when they were living outside Cyprus. Her change in character made Roland bothered. It made him
“Sir, may I make a suggestion?” the hacker asked, his body shivering as he gazed at the gun pointed at him.“What suggestion?” Though Vincent wasn't interested in hearing what he had to say, he would never allow any information to pass him by.“The woman seems intelligent since she could stop all of us single-handedly. Why don't I capture and have her brought here?” the hacker asked.“You talked about a suggestion, but now you're asking questions? How dare you think of bringing that sill woman here? I thought you were wiser, but I guess nod.” Vincent sneered.“Sir, it was-”Before he could complete his sentence, Vincent shot him in the thighs. The bullet penetrated through his skin, almost meeting his bone.“Fuck.” The hacker grunted, his hand went instantly to his thigh, clutching onto it, trying to stop the bleeding.“You better get back to work, instead of saying nonsense.” Vincent gritted his teeth and lowered his gu
The car headed towards the building where they were going to meet the investors and have the meeting. They were still oblivious to the strange car following them. Emma was busy looking through the window, staring at the beauties of the place. “I haven't seen this town enough, I would like to visit some nice spots in this country, wouldn't that be a good idea?” Emma asked, glancing at Liam. “Yes, it would. We might use the internet and GPS to fulfill that mission. This isn't my first time being in Singapore, but I didn't come to the woodlands, I spent time in Yi shun.” Liam responded, beaming at her. He always maintained that smile on her lips to make her feel good and comfortable. If only he knew how handsome wearing a smile. To her, he was cheerful and alluring. “That's awesome, you've been to so many places. When I was younger, I wasn't allowed to travel or even leave the house. I think I was an introvert at that ti
“Liam!!!” Emma screamed again, tears instantly brimming in her eyes and spilling out. She fell to her knees and touched his back, blood stained her hand and she trembled in more fear. “Someone help!” Emma cried out, she looked at his face, but he was unconscious, and that scared her more. Her body was shuddering, everything felt like a terrible nightmare to her. She still couldn't believe that he got shot. She was in denial for a few seconds before screaming for help again. As she kept screaming, the person who had shot Liam, jumped down from the tree and took off. He went away before people could gather around Emma and call the ambulance. When he got away, he got into his car and drove a few meters away from the park. Once he was far enough, he brought the car to a halt and removed the mask on his face. He wasn't wearing the mask when he entered the pack, but he wanted to shoot, he wore it. He took advanta
Singapore. Woodlands. “The doctor said that you'll have to use a wheelchair for now until your wounds are fully healed, then when you return home, you can walk on your own,” Emma said, explaining why the nurse brought a wheelchair for him. “Alright,” Liam responded, and he was helped by the nurse. He sat in the wheelchair and was pushed to the bathroom. Once he was done in there, he sat back in the wheelchair and rolled it outside by himself. He was assisted back on the bed, still connected to the drip that was passing some drugs into his system. “Do you feel any pain?” the nurse asked. “Not any that I haven't been feeling since the anesthesia wore off. But I'm fine; there's nothing to worry about.” Liam replied. The nurse nodded and exited the room. Liam looked at Emma and noticed that she had spaced out. He snapped his fingers close to her face and she flinched. “You startled
Liam was in his room, putting his things one after the other into his suitcase. He didn't bring many clothes because he wasn't supposed to spend so long in Singapore. He and Emma were preparing to leave because nothing was keeping them back in Singapore. They had no business deal to attain, and Liam had fully recovered. It was time to go. Once Liam was done gathering his things into his suitcase, he zipped it up and took his jacket from the bed. He wore it and grabbed his phone next. As he took the suitcase from the bed to the floor, his phone rang. He checked the caller, and it turned out to be one of those investors whom he abandoned. With a frown on his face, he declined the call and headed out of the room. As he was three steps away from the door, the person called again, and he decided to block his number but on second thought, he answered the call.'What do you want?' He asked straightforwardly, not hiding the displeasure i
The triplets were in their classes, drawing on their sketchbooks. They were given the task of drawing their family. All the kids were busy, especially Emerald who was drawing with all seriousness, it seemed like she loved drawing. Her teacher noticed her concentration; she wasn't talking like other kids or turning left and right to check what her classmates were doing. This made the teacher walk to her and check her drawing.“Wow, your drawing is beautiful, especially that of your mom. I'm amazed.” the teacher said, maintaining a smile on her lips. “Really? You think it's good?” Emerald looked up at her teacher with a dazzling smile on her lips. “Yes, it's good. You're just five, and I expected you to draw something more childish, but this is a nice try.” The teacher complimented her. “Keep it up!” Emerald squealed, feeling excited about her teacher's praises. She glanced at her brothers. Alden
Emma gripped his hand, trying to push him away, but to her dismay, he quickly climbed on her, grabbed her hands, and pinned them above her head.Her legs were trapped, her hands were held, and her struggle slowly ended. The drug was taking its effect as it waffled more and more into her nostrils. She tried wriggling her hands from his grip, but it was impossible. She drifted off to sleep and her eyes closed. Alex saw this and smirked. He removed the handkerchief from her face and kept it back in his pocket, he released her hands and came off her. As he lowered himself, to carry her into his arms. He received an instant headbutt, then a hard push to the floor. It was so unexpected. Emma snorted and gave her nostrils a quick wipe. Hastily, she climbed off the bed and tried running off, but Alex put forth his foot, causing her to trip. “Ah!” Emma moaned in pain. Her heart was pounding in fear as her body hit the floor. She tried standing up, but a pair of hands grabbed her ankle and
“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
