In the next 20 minutes Emily was seated at the restaurant waiting for Mira, despite Richards’ warning that she should not go out alone she still disobeyed him. She knew that she will be in trouble but she needed to see Mira urgently and talk to her.Mira came and when she saw Emily she walked as fast as she could towards the table on which she was seated then hugged her so tightly.“Girlfriend, sorry I am late but you called me when I was at the saloon .I am here now so don’t worry we will get to talk all about this things that are making you get worried.”Emily has always felt that Mira was like a big sister to her and she looked upon her for ideas and advice.“Mira I feel so helpless without him, he just got so furious because he saw me with Toby. The useless jerk came to my work place and up to now I still don’t know how he managed to find out. So Richard got so mad at me and he ended up sleeping in the study room and when dawn came he went to hang out with his friends.”“Are you c
“I meant to ask something Mira, you never told me about your family, where are they?”“I don’t know about their identity and I think that is the reason why we share this strong bond. Just like you I was adopted and I have never been told about my background. My adoptive parents used to mistreat me too. When I got employment and became independent, I moved out and started my own life and I don’t regret it at all.”“I am sorry, I didn’t mean to bring back the past memories, but I am glad you trusted me with this. I swear one day when we have enough money we will turn the world upside down just to find out who they are and nobody is ever going to stop us.”“Yeah I want so much to ask them why they decided to abandon us as if we were nothing”“Mira I think we should go to the hospital to visit Grandmother Martha. Would you join me please, I just don’t want to go there alone. I want someone that can defend me against that family.”“Alright my dear friend, I will become your body guard fre
“That is a very sad story grand ma”“Yes indeed, so Melody gave birth to a set of twin girls and she gave them up for adoption. Her mother was there but she wasn’t able to help her because if she did anything her secret would have been discovered and her husband’s family would have chased her away.“What did her mother do?” Emily asked.The mother promised that she was going to follow up on those people who adopted her granddaughters. She was going to make sure that she knows where they were staying so that she can take them back one day if her daughter wasn’t willing.“It happened that someone closer to the mother was also looking for a child to adopt and she made arrangement for him to adopt the youngest twin since the woman wanted the baby to be nearby where she could protect her. The other daughter was adopted by another family who later relocated and she never knew where they went.”“Oh…..Grandmother, why are you telling me this story? How it is related to me? Emily asked with so
“Thank you that is all I needed to hear.” Grandmother Martha managed to say with a smile on her face“Now tell me grandmother, I know that you are tired and I am being selfish to ask you this question but I promise that this is the last one and I won’t bother you again. There is a pressing matter I wanted to know but I have no idea who to ask. Do you think you can be able to help me?”She straightened up and sat on the bed while leaning her back on the headboard. Now Emily had managed to capture her attention and she was wondering just what could be that important to her ”Go on.” She said with a hoarse voice.There is a rumor going around that that Matt has another company, how come I have never heard of it and again why is it that he started to control the new company just when the Davis Company has gone under? I think that there is something fishy here.”“Oh….child things are messed up so bad. He wasn’t supposed to find out about the company because that company belongs to your moth
“Okay girls I feel so tired .Do you mind leaving me to rest for a while I would……”Before Grandmother Martha could finish the sentence Emily heard footsteps on the door and she became tense. If it was Matt who was coming to see his mother then he wouldn’t like to see her there. When the door was opened, it was none other than Matt and he was looking at her with hateful eyes. The man couldn’t wait to start shouting at her and well she was ready for him and never gain was he going to lay his hands on her.“Emily what the hell are you doing here? I thought I told you never to set your foot back in my family. You are the reason why we lost the tenders and I blame you for making the Davis Company go bankrupt.”Emily looked at him and couldn’t hold back her rage, the man has never been nice to her and when the first opportunity came he threw her out of the house without thinking. Why should she still respects him, if he tries to mess with her she will give him a peace of her mind“Matt wha
“Shut up you little brat and don’t taste my patience or I will forbid you never to see my mother again. I even wonder what you are doing here and yet you are just a no body without a background. Look at yourself you are the same shameless Emily I sent packing out of my house.”“Matt one day you will regret the things that you are saying to me, my God why are you this heartless? Emily said with hate in her voice.“Yes sir, my friend is right you should at least respect her. Haven’t you noticed who she is married to? If you people couldn’t value what a wonderful person she is there is someone who adores and appreciate her, so whatever venomous words you might want to tell her I think it doesn’t affect her any more. Besides she has me and she is the family I never had.Matt looked at Mira with daggers in his eyes “Who gave you permission to talk you little ant? If you know what is good for you shut up that dirty mouth of yours.”Grandmother Martha finally couldn’t take it anymore as she
Mira scratched her head and then said” Emily you have to call that unbearable husband of yours and tell him to come and pick us .I am starting to have a very bad feeling about all this, just like you I don’t like darkness and I swear I won’t handle this.”She could see Mira shivering and hugging herself. That was not what she expected from her, she was a strong woman and have never gone half through what she had to in the past, how could she be afraid of the dark like that?“Alright don’t get like that Mira, I am calling my husband right now and very soon you will be in your house sleeping in your own bed. Is that good enough?However she just stared at her blankly and nodded her head. Emily hated to see her in that state but it was beyond her powers .She was her role model and her savior, the woman whom she would usually look up to for advice.Mira was the only person who recognized that she was also a human being and now she had to be the one to hold her hands and comfort her.She
Someone picked up the phone and it wasn’t Richard, but she didn’t have much time to talk all Ben Foster heard was “Richard please help me and the phone went off”Mira wanted to run but she knew that the men will catch up with her before she takes even a single step so she stood rooted to the spot and soon the two men with the mask climbed out from the car and dragged them in to the back of the car.The mask man had caught up with her again, but what wrong did she do to him? She couldn’t open her mouth to talk as the darkness consumed her when the blindfold was tied on their faces. She didn’t know what the men wanted with them and her mind couldn’t think.Did she make a mistake by coming out alone? Gosh she never wished to come across the mask man again. He destroyed her life and turned her into a nervous wreck until Richard came and saved her. It was by his side that she learned to regain her self-esteem. He only did that because of the special way Richard used to treat her and now th
