While on her way out of the building someone held her wrist abruptly and she was startled. It happened that Toby was waiting for her to come out so that he could talk to her. He knew that she would try to run away so he decided to wait in an obvious place.“Toby what are you doing” she asked clearly offended while trying to withdraw her hands away. Honestly she didn’t like this at all, it didn’t look good.He held up his hands and muttered softly, ”Emily just give me a few minutes of your time, there is a pending conversation that I feel that we must have.”“What it is that Toby wanted to tell her?” she wondered. However the fact that he was calm and collected told her that he dint mean any harm so she readily accepted. Toby sighed with a relief and then showed her to the café.When they were comfortably seated and she was waiting eagerly for what he intended to discuss with her, Toby wasn’t in a hurry so she promised herself that’s she wouldn’t rush him either but it was rather odd
“The car has arrived you can get in now” then he hesitated and asked” can I give you one last hug? “She was still undecided when he grabbed her and embraced her tightly on his chest. He was breathing heavily as he muttered” Goodbye Emily, I apologize for hurting you okay” then he smelled her hair and continued holding on to her.Emily felt uncomfortable, what if someone who knows her come by and recognizes her being embraced that closely with someone else. But she owed him for the closure and Richard didn’t need to know, it was a price that she was going to pay for him to get off her back.“Good bye Toby” she stated and Toby let go of her as she climbed the taxi and went back home.When she reached the entrance to the house she was stunned, nobody told her that there was going to be a party in the house. She could hear several voice, she recognized most of them but the surprise of the day was none other than Emma.She was seated on the same table with Ben and Shane drinking and laughi
“In fact I wanted to ask you that but I didn’t know how, each and every day I see the similarities too. Would it be wise for us to approach Richard and enquire about what he thinks because after all he was the one who recruited her?” Ben said and then scratched his head while in thought. He can remember perfectly well how Richard suffered when he was told that his woman had died. He wouldn’t want to start some rumours so as to bring back forgotten memories. Besides he is happy with Emily and she didn’t want anything that was going to ruin that.“Let us look for the right moment and ask him because even Emily is sensing that there is something odd about her. Don’t you see how she changed immediately she saw the woman sitting next to Richard? We have got to warn Richard to be very careful around her.” Shane was concerned“I agree “Ben nodded as they walked back to where Emma was still busy cooking or roasting. She held her head up and gave them the same smile that Marlene had as she sa
When Emma left, Emily didn’t feel like staying in the back yard anymore, so she excused herself and went to her own bedroom.The last thing on her mind now was that he promised Richard a surprise which never came through. But the way he was busy she doubted if he would even remember that she wanted to surprise him.“I will wait for you in the bedroom, I don’t feel very well.” Emily said and started going in to the house, Richard was left alone. She was so saddened by the fact that Emily got jealous and yet he had showed her over and over that she was the one that he loved.What more could she want him to do. Should he send Emma away? But she hasn’t even managed to find out about her background and it was killing him to hell to have to live with someone that he thought that he knew.Shane and Ben saw that he was alone and they proceeded to come and join him. They were honestly worried and especially in the manner in which Emily left offended. If there was something they could do to hel
Richard didn’t talk for a while and when he finally did he was stern as he said” I want it done as soon as possible. If she is really the one, then she has no right to come back in to my life after the deception. I have made a life for myself with Emily and I wasn’t going to allow her to destroy it.Well the plan is on now” Ben beamed with delight. I have always wanted to go to the lake side Resort. There are never so many people around and the place will help us with the three tests at once. I have a suggestion, let us do it this weekend.”They all agreed and each one of them dispersed to go to their own houses. Shane was already drunk and he wouldn’t stop shouting. If they weren’t careful, he might end up talking too loud for Marlene or Emma to hear their plan.So Ben decided to take him with him to his house because he didn’t want to risk him being involved in to an accident.Richard too didn’t waste any time, he climbed the stairs immediately and went to the bedroom. Emily was alr
She agreed to enter the water under the guidance of Richard, but immediately she touched the water she started shouting uncontrollably. She couldn’t stand it, the water was choking her and she couldn’t breathe“Get me out please….I hate water. I don’t want to swim, I can’t stand it please.” She kept on shouting and the friends looked at each other in surprise. Emma just failed her first test but they weren’t through with her yet.Once they had managed to calm her down, a delicious food will be waiting for her in their usual private room and she would only refuse to eat it only if she is allergic.They pulled her out of the water then after she had dried herself and was calm enough, they invited her to the private room. The moment the food was served, she started becoming suspicious, first it was swimming and now it was sea food. Surely this people were testing her and she is not going to go through a similar episode, she better come out clean.Ben served her food and then smiled swee
“Forgive me I was stupid, the man was only interested in revenge. He wanted to destroy my life because my father caused the death of his father and so he made my life miserable. I had to become independent and that is why I joined the security firms, I became the most sought after body guard.“Why should we trust all that you are saying? It could be that you are coming up with a story to make us pity you,” Ben commented.“I wouldn’t lie, I swear on the name of my parents. He became obsessed with me and when I left him he said that if I don’t return back to him he will come and tell you all my secret . So I am not lying and I am out of solutions, the only thing left for me is to tell the truth.”“But why didn’t you confess this before coming to pretend to be someone else, don’t you know that we knew you very well. To tell the truth we would have forgiven you and helped you with the stupid jerk, but now it is too late” Shane said, he was the one whom she expected to show pity on her, sh
“Yeah I am well aware of that my love, but he will be surprised let him bring on the game. This time I won’t be the stupid and meek Emily I used to be. I will hit him hard where it hurts the most. And for that Nina, she better be prepared because she won’t like what I have in store for her.”“It is not worth it to have too much hate in your heart Emily, just deal with them the way they deserve” he finished saying and pinched her cheeks “Richard let go of her and continued to straighten his shirt , he too have a big day ahead so he wanted to be on time when the meeting began.“I am going for a meeting, see you later, okay. The body guard is outside, don’t give her a hard time “he warned.Alright Richard as long as she is not another Emma I will behave myself, I also have a few errands to run before my grand debut tomorrow. I will see you in the evening” she kissed him and walked out of the room while smiling to herself.Emily reached Mira’s apartment and she was surprised to see her. M
