How did you know Emily was with Andrew Dickinson in the first place, Hannah?" Her face pales out immediately when she hears my question. ******************* "And what's that supposed to mean Leo? Few minutes with Emily and you are already doubting what I said? Someone you spend 11 years and 6 months loving, yet she chooses some scumbag over you, not just anybody, but your enemy, a rival to your family. Someone, who you ordered as your wife to stay away from Andrew, but she claimed she's not going to obey you because she does not have any negative issue with him and he happens to be her friend. Yet you choose to believe whatever bullshit she told you." ."Hannah, that's not the answer to the question I asked I did not allow you to take me down memory lane, just tell me what I want to hear, the question I ask you is what I am about to repeat, and please listen attentively, I asked you How you knew Emily was with Andrew in the first place? " "Are you serious? You are insisting on ge
"What's going on? " The voice of the person I have always wanted to remain in the dark asked me. "Why don't you ask your beloved wife," Isabella replied to him, not breaking eye contact with me at the same time. "Hannah, I am talking to you, what's going on? " "Leonard, I know you don't believe anything I say, but don't I deserve a little pinch of respect, we are a couple, I am the mother of your unborn child. " "That's called a baby mama, the only thing connecting both of you is that baby you are carrying," Isabella said pointing to my tummy. "Bella, please can we have some time alone?" Leonard said. I got confused, is he telling me to leave so he could talk to Isabella, or he's asking isabella to leave so he could talk to me. "I don't get it, you wanna talk to me or her," I asked. "I wanna talk to my sister Hannah." He shunned me… Damn. I knew he was going to choose her, but hearing it from him is a little bit heartbreaking. I walked away from the little gathering with my h
"Leo, who's this one again?" She asked. A question that got me tongue-tied. I got up slowly, walked to her frame, made to touch her cheek, but the tight pain I felt on my cheek afterwards, made me aware of the fact that she had slapped me, making all around gasp! "You keep doing this, even after you made series of promises, I can't imagine if you do not understand the meaning of the word Loyal. L.O.Y.A.L." she said, hitting me. "Hey. Emily, let's get out of here please." I whispered, holding her hands stopping her from hitting me further. "Where's that girl?" She turned around, all feisty… I turned to look at Isabella, and she avoided my gaze. I knew something was wrong somewhere, my Emily would never raise her voice at you, talk more of wanting to go into a combat with another girl, guess Isabella had said some poisonous words to her. "Emily please…" I tried to pacify her, but she glared at me… "Where the hell is she? I just wanna have a few words with her, i... " She tra
This had been Emily's dream house, something she had always wanted, a place where she gets so happy when she gets to. But, all in a flash, it went down the drain, and I lost Emily, just because she wasn't patient enough, or probably, wasn't satisfied. …. Were you ever faithful with her? Were you patient or satisfied with her?… my subconscious whispered, Well, to be honest, I was never faithful with her, and I wasn't patient, but I am a guy, and I am not a virgin, besides the temptation was at its optimum, from all angles I was seduced. Who can stand those? Also with the fact that you have a girlfriend who wasn't ready for sex. Besides, we haven't been to the altar yet, so I see no genuine reason not to catch fun when I had wanted to. but you made promises that were to be made on the altar with her! … my subconscious whispers. I know that was true but it wasn't official. The altar is official. My phone vibrated on my hand the second time snapping me out of my thoughts. I clicked t
I stood close to the door, smiling sheepishly like a released prisoner, as I watched her stir in her sleep. She's the sweetest thing that ever happened to me, her olive skin, had goosebumps, and she folded her knees in a way that shows she's cold. I just smiled switch off the air conditioner, before walking down to the bed, to pull the duvet over her head yesterday i got her a new phone, and she had told me to teach her how to operate it, i had insisted she come to my room, which she refused vehemently, but after a lot of persuasion she gave in, and both of us had worked down to my room. "You know you should quit the stare, it's beginning to look creepy." She said, changing her sleeping position, like she's on her bed, and isn't going to school. Clearly, I do not mind staying here with her all day, to watch her sleep, or play with her finger when she's scared. It's so lovely, trust me. "Leonard… " I heard her mumble… I walked to her form, pushed back the hair on her face to stic
"Emily, is this the cloth you were talking about?" Mary-Rose interrupted our staring contest. She snatched her hands out of mine immediately. "What do you want Mr. Luther?" Her voice was so venomous like she's really annoyed. "I just want to see them please?" "And who are you talking about Mr. Luther?" "The babies." "I rather die, Leonardo" My face paled out immediately, I heard that. Like she would rather die than show me the babies, I mean why would I even ask in the first instance if I am not stupid. Why should I even care? "Mary -Rose, c'mon let's go already, this fucker here is really misbehaving." She said, snapping me out of my thoughts. "I am sorry for asking Miss Macbeth. I won't make such a mistake in the future." "I am sure, such an opportunity won't even arise, I will take my leave now Mr. Luther." With that, she entered her car and drove off leaving me in the compound. Immediately I got into my car, I tried calling her, that's Bella again, but it wasn't even
"If that is the case then you have my support Mr Luther." They all casted their vote, and those in support were more than those against, then I picked the file and signed it. I could have just signed it off, but dad would always say, if you wanna go far, walk or work as a team, but if you wanna go fast, work or walk alone. And that's just what i did. * Emily Pov. Was i too harsh? Or should i have allowed him have a pep at my boys, Damn. What if he wanna claim them, take my babies from me? Those rich folks can do and undo. With their connection and that she-devil with him, he could do anything drastic and dangerous. I can't just wait for this month to roll out, then i get the opportunity to take my adorable darlings out of this hell called place. It's annoying, seeing his face on every newspaper, every tabloid and billboards. Something that had always made me smile in times past, now became something that hurt me, something that creeps me out and gives me heart aches. "You are c
"Why Jamal and Ja'far?" Mary asked as we walked out of the hospital, she has been repeating the question over and over again, while I choose to ignore her, and thank God she understands I wasn't in the mood to talk. I remember when I was still with Leo, and when he talked about how he wanted his kids with me, and how he would shower us with love and all money can buy... "You know what Mary?" I asked her out of the blues. "Yeah, what?" "We shouldn't dwell on the memories of the past, the past is there to correct us in the future in order not to make the same mistake.." "And where's that coming from?" She asked amused I looked at the road, to be sure a vehicle was not coming before I drove out of the hospital. "It's a new Emily remember!" I said with a smile. "Oh, then I love the new Emily." "Do you remember when Isabella said Divorced ladies are always hotter than when they are married?" "Yeah, I do. So what's with that? " "Am driving down to the gym now, to get my fa
