Liam had taken Emma away from the stage and the negative spotlight. He led her to the garden and made her sit on a bench.He sat by her side and held her cold hand that was trembling.“Why didn't you tell me about them?” Liam asked softly. He didn't have a judgmental tone, nor did he have a hateful gaze for her. “Were you afraid that I would leave you?”Emma gently nodded and sniffed, “I thought that you would leave me, especially since I had them in quite the wrong way. I don't even know who their father is,”Liam was shocked by her words, but he still didn't criticize her.“How did it happen? Were you raped?” Liam asked, feeling bad for her.“Something like that,” Emma let out a sigh. “I didn't want you to see me as a burden to you. A lot of men don't want women with kids because it comes with a lot of responsibilities,”“I don't care about responsibilities. I will learn how to be a good father to them. I love you and I can't abandon you for something that was out of your control,”
Aziel had never seen his uncle look that angry before, he was so scared by his reaction.He quickly got up from the floor and ran back to his room.“So, that's one of her kids,” Elizabeth muttered and clenched her fists in anger. “That one looks a lot like her, especially with the stupid blonde hair and blue eyes. So irritating,”Elizabeth stood to her feet and walked to the place where the triplets were. She heard Aziel's sobbing and trailed the sounds.She arrived at a door and pushed it open. She beheld the kids who were curled up in bed.She stared at them with hate in her eyes. She didn't care if they were kids, as long as they belonged to Emma, she had the urge to hurt them terribly.“Who are you?” Emerald asked. Her voice reminded Elizabeth of Emma's voice when they were still young.“You have an irritating voice,” Elizabeth wasted no time in targeting the kid.“What do you mean by that?” Alden asked with a serious look on his face.Elizabeth shifted her gaze to Alden, and the
Roland returned to the house and a few minutes later, a knock came on the door. A frown appeared on his lips and he stood from the couch where he sat.He walked to the door and opened it. He rolled his eyes when he saw Elizabeth.“What are you doing here?” He asked with annoyance in his voice. “You left a few hours ago, why are you back here?”Elizabeth chuckled and shoved him out of her way. She entered the house and went to sit on the couch like she owned it.“Beth, I don't like this,” Roland complained as he closed the door. “Emma must have realized that her kids had disappeared, and I don't want anyone to lead her here. I am not ready yet to face her,”Elizabeth yawned like his words were boring.“Yeah... I understand you,”“So, can you explain why you purchased a gun? Are you trying to kill her or what?” Elizabeth asked with an amused smile on her lips.“I have to find a way to scare her into submission. It's obvious that she's going to see me as her enemy once she comes here, so
As their moans boomed through the speaker, Emma's phone slipped from her hands, she never imagined that Liam could have anything with Elizabeth.It didn't make any sense, but it still broke her heart.“Why is this happening to me?” Emma asked, her heart aching in her chest. “I feel so frustrated…"Tears flooded from her face and she felt this pain in her head. This was the worst night of her life. A night without her kids, the love of his life, or anyone important to her.She was all alone.She could still hear moans from the phone, and she had the urge to crush the phone with her foot.She looked at the phone and angrily picked it up. She stopped the video and started thinking of anyone else who could help her.As she pondered on her next step, her phone began ringing.She checked her phone screen and saw Mr. Smith's name. Without hesitation, she answered his call.'Hello,''Emma, is Mr. Liam with you?' Mr. Smith asked, worriedly.'No,' Emma replied, her voice cracking.'Where must h
Three days later.Emma curled up on Liam's couch, she hadn't been eating or sleeping properly since her children went missing. Although Liam was using different means to find the kids, there hasn't been any news yet.As Liam walked into the sitting room and met her on the couch, he knew that she must be thinking about her kids.“Emma,” He called softly, and she looked up at him. “Aren't you hungry?”“No, I'm not hungry,” Emma replied, shaking her head.Her voice was so rasp and weak that she could hardly recognize herself.“That's what you said last night. You went to bed without eating and this morning you're repeating the same thing. At this rate, you are going to end up with an ulcer and I don't want that for you, please eat…" Liam pleaded and bent down to her level.“I know it's hard for you, but you've got to remain strong for your kids,” Liam consoled and stroked her hair gently. “I'm certain that your kids wouldn't want to return and meet you on a sick bed,”Emma didn't have an
It was late in the evening, but Emma was still at Liam's house. She couldn't return to her mansion because it would only remind her of her children.She was getting stressed emotionally and if it continued, then she might end up in the hospital.“Don't you feel sleepy?” Liam asked as he sat beside her.“No,” Emma muttered and rested her head on his shoulder.“Do you want a television show?” Liam asked, trying to keep her busy with something. He didn't want her mind to be constantly on her children.“No, I'm not in the mood for any shows or cartoons. If I see something that my children loved watching, then I would get more emotional and depressed,” Emma responded and snuggled her cheek on his shoulder. “Thanks for asking, though,”“You don't have to thank me every time I do something. I do it because I love you. I don't need constant appreciation,” Liam said with a loving smile on his lips.“I just feel grateful to have you by my side. I might have gone crazy by now or died from the pa
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
“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
