As Elizabeth stared at the pregnancy strip, there was only one red line in the middle. “A red line means negative, two red lines mean positive,” She muttered and looked at the pregnancy strip again. The result came out negative, she wasn't pregnant. “No, this can't be happening to me,” Elizabeth shook her head vehemently. Her hands began shaking as the strip fell out of them. “I am pregnant. I missed my period, and that should mean nothing but pregnancy. Why is it negative? This pregnancy test must be fake!” Elizabeth shrieked, tears welled up in her eyes. “After all the happiness I felt!” Elizabeth cried, her lips trembled as she spoke. “I fainted. I had symptoms!” Her hands gripped her hair and she pulled it hard. She screamed at the top of her voice and tears poured out of her eyes. She slowly slipped to the floor and began crying. She wasn't crying because she wouldn't be able to get pregnant again, she was crying because her expectations were crushed before her face. “Da
Emma went to work with a bothered mind. She couldn't concentrate on anything because of the incident that happened in the morning. She hung up immediately when her father asked that question, but she knew that he would have his suspicions or come to a conclusion. Although she didn't care what he thought about her, she was worried about Elizabeth finding out. Elizabeth hadn't mentioned anything about her kids, meaning that she was still unaware. Emma knew that once her stepsister found out about her children, then hell would certainly break loose. Elizabeth would find a way to hurt the triplets. “I shouldn't have answered that damn call,” Emma said, banging her fists on the table. “I had a bad feeling about picking up a call from an unknown number but…no! I still had to act stupid and answer it.” Emma sighed and fixed her gaze on her computer.“I can't call him and start explaining myself. That would confirm that I truly have kids…so, the best thing for me to do is to relax and le
“Elizabeth, get out!” Emma yelled, snapping her stepsister out of her sinister thought. Elizabeth looked her dead in the eyes and said; “Make me,”“I'm not going to repeat myself,” Emma said and turned her back on her. Elizabeth suddenly brought forth her hands and pushed Emma, but things didn't go as her imagination did. Emma only staggered forward but was able to hold the edge of the table which stopped her from falling. Emma let out gasps and darted her gaze at her stepsister. “Since you want to go see me go crazy, then fine, I will give you what you deserve!” Emma shrieked and instantly faced her. She grabbed Elizabeth's hair and began pulling it so hard that it seemed like she was going to rip her hair from her skull. “Ahhh!!!, let go of me!” Elizabeth screamed in agony and was unable to fight back. Emma made sure to drag her hair enough to give her a migraine later. Afterward, she pushed her to the floor and dusted her palms off the strands of hair that got cut. “My hair
The next day, Emma went to the company in such a good mood because Liam and she chatted throughout the night. Their love was blooming so fast, and they were enjoying every moment of it. As Emma made her way to the elevator, she heard her boyfriend's voice.“Good morning, Miss Lions,” Liam whispered behind her before coming to her side. “How was your night?”“It was fine,” Emma said with her cheeks burning.“You look so dashing this morning,” Liam complimented, boring his eyes admirably on her perfect skin and dress.“I plan on having a new look, but let's see how it turns out,” Emma said and received no discouragement from Liam.“I'm sure that you will look beautiful, even if you're bald,”Emma laughed at his words and stepped into his private elevator with him.As the elevator doors closed, Liam grabbed her waist and their lips met.Liam kissed her till her back touched the elevator wall. Their tongues entangled in each other's mouths, going around and making much exploration.“Hmm,”
“There was a hacking issue, and it was so difficult to solve,” Emma said.“You helped them?” Liam asked as they walked towards that karaoke bar. “Yes, I did.” Emma smiled, feeling proud of herself. “Their smiles were so adorable, and they gave me so many compliments that I found myself blushing senselessly.”Liam brought his steps to a slow halt, and he gazed at her. Emma faced him and smiled obliviously. “What is it?”“Emma, you shouldn't have gotten involved in anything that has to do with hacking. You remember the danger it puts us in, right?” Liam reminded her. He felt that she made a wrong decision by helping to stop the hacking. She should have consulted him first before doing anything. “I don't think that the guy would still be alive after two bullets,” Emma shrugged. “And even if he's alive, I doubt that he was involved in the recent hacking. Just relax and avoid being paranoid.”“Emma, don't say that. I am not being paranoid. I'm afraid. I defeated him by determination an
The children began screaming in horror as the blood of Aziel kept pouring rapidly on the floor.“Aziel!” Alden screamed and rushed to his brother, who fell weakly to the floor.Emerald had tears flowing down her cheeks as she went to his side as well.“Aziel, don't die,” Emerald cried loudly. “Don't die!!!”The screams from the classroom were so loud that even the teacher outside the door could hear them. She left the colleague she was talking to and rushed into the room.What she saw, when she entered, stopped her in her tracks. The floor was covered with blood and there was a fork sticking out of Aziel's stomach.The teacher's breath quickened as shock overwhelmed her.“Miss Ciara, help us,” Alden said with tears flooding his face. “My brother is dying,”As Miss Ciara's eyes filled with tears, she rushed to her desk and rummaged through her bag. She brought out her phone and dialed the emergency number, trying to keep her voice calm to explain the situation. While she was on the ca
Emma wasn't thinking straight when responding to Liam. She was simply concerned about her child and wanted to save him by any means. She removed her hand from Liam's grip and rushed to the elevator. As she got to the front of the elevator, she received a call from Miss Ciara. Emma quickly answered, and the next words she heard were so comforting. Liam stared at her and noticed the change in her expression. So, when she ended the call, he quickly asked about the child's situation. “Is the child okay? I hope nothing bad happened,” Liam said, reaching for her hand. “Nothing bad happened. The teacher called to tell me that I have no reason… to worry anymore. She said that one of the teachers had her blood tested, and it was a match.” Emma replied, hiccuping in between her words. “The blood might be a match, but is it healthy?” Liam asked, his voice laced with worry. “She said that everything has been confirmed, and the blood transfusion can be carried out,” Emma replied, choking ba
Elizabeth was so shocked by the revelation. She might have expected her father to say something about Emma, but hearing that she had a child was beyond belief. “Dad, I think you might have misheard,” Elizabeth said in denial. “I didn't mishear anything. I distinctly heard the female child refer to her as mother,” Mr. Crown said, not doubting what he heard. “How can you determine the child's gender, just from a phone call?” Elizabeth gasped, shaking her head. “Dad, you must be mistaken. Emma never had a child after that one-nightstand,” “How are you sure about that? “ Mr. Crown asked. “Have you forgotten that I disowned her and sent her away? And she never contacted us again after that day,”“I haven't forgotten but…” Elizabeth trailed off, her breath becoming shaky. “How could she get pregnant for him? How?”Elizabeth's hands gripped her hair and she almost let out a scream. 'Why does that bitch always get everything before me? First, she slept with Liam and now, I'm discovering
“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
