I broke my marriage myself.

Emily POV.

Em.." I heard a knock on the bathroom door. "Em are you in there? C'mon your Milkshake is ready." 

I did not know how long I stayed in the shower but all I knew was immediately I got out, I collapsed.. that was all I remembered.

I was running on a beach, with loose clothes and spread hands. Leo was behind me, running to catch me, his laughter filled the air. I was trying to get away from him. I ran into the water going deeper and deeper, I don't know what was pulling me into it. But I found myself going deeper and deeper into the waters.

"Emily, Emily where are you going?" I heard Leo called me, fear was evident in his tone. 

"Emily! What are you doing, please come back, you are carrying our babies, your kids. You have always wanted to hold them in your hands.. please come back Em." 

I turned immediately and I heard the word kids. I stretched my hand trying to hold him. The force was pulling me back into the water. I kept trying, I kept crying. I wanna go back.

"Leo! Leo!! It's pulling me." Suddenly the water begins to go in a circle. Leo tried coming in, but the circle was just getting fast, hindering him from coming into me. It started moving me backwards and the distance between us kept getting farther. 

"Emily! " Leo shouted my name when my head was the only one not in the water. 

"Leo! Le" I couldn't call his name the second time. The water covers me up, but I keep hearing faint noises, a shout of my name, I hear a loud dash like a very big fish was thrown into the water. I was so scared, I kept drowning, going deeper into the water. All of a sudden I felt a pull and some vigorous shake.

"Em! Emily, Emily!! Doctor! " I heard the door slam hard against the door frame. 

"Emily, can you hear me?. Emily!" I saw a lady in white, with the "Fiona stones" on her name tag. I turn around hoping to see Leo. Instead, I saw a heavily pregnant Hannah .. my breath got hooked and I started gasping for air. 

"Shit, she's having a panic attack again.. " they quickly placed something that looked like a balloon with a plastic nose like structure, they started pressing the strong balloon, the air started gushing into my mouth vigorously. It was so fast that I felt like choking, at the same time, I felt refreshed. 

"Oh my gosh, Emily you scared me, seriously you need to get over this act of yours. Please you are not helping issues at all. Your babies are the ones suffering it. Leo is out there enjoying his life and you are here sulking over a stupid heartbreak. You gotta change. Live your life, not for you or Leo, but for your babies. They are the main deal, you have given up on life, likewise that God-forsaken Man whore called Leo. You can't continue endangering the lives of those who haven't started it yet. If you don't wanna have children you should have gone for an abortion. The earlier you understand this. The better for you and your babies." Mary-Rose said.. she's annoyed. I wish I could help it, but the heartbreak is too much, just too much. Imagining my best friend, someone who was my best lady, snatched away my husband, got pregnant for him, made him lose his trust in me. 

"How are you now?" I heard the voice I have grown to hate and despise, with passion, a voice that I wouldn't want to hear even in my dreams, because they will eventually become nightmares.

"And how does her health concern you bitch, and if I may ask what are you doing here? Who invited you here? Security! Security!! Come get this bitch outta here quick.." Mary-Rose screamed at sophisticated Hannah, with a look that said, 'I will kill you bitch if you move an inch.' And guess what, Hannah is so scared.

"I. I was only trying to care, " she tried telling the security who came to escort her out. 

"The next time you come 50 meters close to where we are, Hannah I swear to God I will disfigure your face, I don't mind going to Jail." I almost chuckled at the expression on Hannah's face. 

"Ma'am it's clear the patient does not want to see you, please step out. We don't want to handle you roughly. Please." The security personnel told her.

 They pushed her outside and closed the door behind us. Mary-Rose was fuming in anger and pacing around the room. 

"Mary, it's okay. Not all cases are solved with violence, trust me you only live once. Take life easy, please and be patient okay" I had to scold her, I was just wondering, what would have happened if I happen to be absent and she gets into combat with Hannah. Leo is sure going to punish her. Who wouldn't?

"It's high time you stood up to them, they will keep torturing and torturing you if you don't stand up to face them. Give them what they are not expecting, sign the divorce paper and tell Leo to stay clear of your babies, you will be fine trust me. Then we sit back, relax and watch where the train is taking them to, they can't eat their cake and have it." I stared at her in shock, and what she said made some sense." *Give them what they are not expecting.* They shouldn't be able to predict me. But will my babies grow without knowing their dad?. It's not in any way good, I hope Leo does not push me to that point of signing the divorce papers...

"Mary-Rose, I understand you, okay. Just take it easy. And I am not divorcing my husband. It's death do us part.. " I knew what she was going to say, probably am mad or something, it's normal tho. I will not divorce him, divorce is not an option for me.

"I know there's nothing I can say to make you change your mind, let's leave that aside what are you gonna eat, I brought pasta."

That word sounds so familiar, "I brought pasta, although I tried cooking it for you, it got so burnt that I Had to order a new one" . The boyish grin on his face made him so cute, and the fact that his dimple was showing made him look so cute, oh my Leo. "You know how much I love you right? I love you so much, trust me. You are so cute." I said to him, 

"Hey, come back here. You ain't got time for thoughts and remembrance" Mary-Rose said to me. Snapping me out of my thoughts. 

"Ok ma'am" I chuckled at the expression on her face, trust me guys it was worth a good round of laughter because she was looking like someone who wants to bully me. It was such a funny sight to behold. 

She brought the garnished pasta towards my bed's built-in table-like structure, I don't know what it is called so don't pass blame yet. Immediately I saw the food, I began to salivate. 

"Mary-Rose, you made this? Oh my gosh. Why won't I feel hungry, the pasta is mouth-watering." I began to rush it. Almost choking I had to take a sip of the chilled water beside me, I guess this is the beginning of the new me. 

"You don't have to rush yourself okay, the pasta is not running away, and besides if that's not enough there is more mouthwatering food here okay." My face lit up immediately she said that.

"Give me the other food please. I don't want to get too full with pasta that I won't be able to eat the other meal you prepare "I pouted my lips making a babyface.

"Oh my, Emily you are such a big baby. C'mon Eat a little from the pasta you don't wanna eat junk." She was glaring at me. 

"Okay, just stop glaring at me, It's getting creepy. " I began to eat my food, staring at the bag on the floor, wishing I could see what's inside. The opening of the door diverted my thoughts. Looking up, I saw the person I have always wanted to see, someone I have always wanted to be by my side, the father of my baby, my childhood crush. my Italian love, my weak point. Leo Luthur.. the CEO  of the Luthur empire.

"What did you do to my fiance?." His voice was what I had always wished to hear every morning when I wake up. 

"And what did she say I said to her.?" I smirked because Leo I know hates when his question is answered with a question.

"Emily, I won't repeat myself" he was so pissed.

I turned to look at Mary, to see her trying to hold her laughter, I chuckled, making Leo pissed off the most. 

"The question you should ask is what did you say to my mistress because that's what she is. Mind you even if you had asked that earlier, my answer would still be the same.. What did she say I said to her? " I smirked as his gaze became more deadly.

"Emily, " he thundered...

"Mr Luther, if you want answers you won't shout at me. And besides, I did not utter a single word while she was here, anything she told you I said to her earlier was nothing but lies, just as she had always done" 

"So you are calling my fiance a liar, what are you then? A cheat and a back stabber." He smirked.

"Point of correction Mr Luther, your mistress. And besides, you don't have to pass your qualities to your innocent pregnant wife because that's what you are, a liar, a cheat, a backstabber. I won't be here when you will need me, because a Tiger can't clean off its stripes, just for the records. She wants Judah, not you. You are just a tool to get to Judah. And your stupid self who's so trapped in her web put your marriage at stake just to please her, unfortunately for you, you just lost your marriage to your nasty game. I will get my lawyer to send you the divorce file tomorrow, sign it and watch how funny and lovely your downfall would be. Trust me Mr Luther your face is going to be on every tabloid, every signboard, every newspaper, all magazines because it will be Marred on the street." 

"What!" Leo was caught unaware, he was so shocked he couldn't even utter a single word. His mouth was open... 

"What?. Are you surprised?. Oh No, you shouldn't, because it's the truth. You know I haven't spoken back to you in this manner ever since my mum brought me to your house when I was 12, but you don't deserve such respect. And mind you, you don't have to be surprised, okay. In Fact, what are you even doing here? use the door." I don't know where the boldness I just used in talking to almighty Leo Luther came from. But I knew I said my mind. Yes! I want a divorce...

Leo stared at me like have grown horns, well bunny this is the new Emily. You would regret ever messing with her.  I turned to stare at Mary-Rose, her mouth was hanging open. 

"You don't believe me?. You would believe me when the file gets to your home first thing tomorrow. And trust me it would have been signed. * I paused* or wait is it the aspect of what Hannah told you I said to her?. Oh, c'mon you should ask the security personnel outside the door, because that is the main reason they are here. Mary-Rose can also bear me witness. She was the one who ordered your mistress out."

He stared at me for a while, then looked down at my tummy, turned around and walked out of the hospital ward. I lost my appetite already. I turned towards Mary and began to cry. The tears were not stopping, they just kept flowing and flowing out, why would she do this to me. Hannah had been my childhood friend. Why does she have to use my marriage to get what she wants? It's heartbreaking. I love Leo with all my heart. I am ready to die for Leo. 

"Shhh it's okay, you followed your heart" Mary petted me, saying lovely nothing. I can't even comprehend what she's saying at all. I cried till I slept off. 

************************ Leo POV ******************* 

I couldn't move an inch, Emily would never talk back to me. Even when she saw me with Margaret, her maid, on our matrimonial bed, she just sat on the floor and shed tears till we were done. I was so shocked to even continue when I saw her tears, from the very first time I saw her and witnessed her tears I knew I couldn't stand it at all. That was why I offered to take her to her room that day... "I am not dumb.. mummy I don't want to stay here, I don't want to be her play whatever, they are too rude. " tears were laced in her eyes already. I was so moved. 

"Come with me." I don't know when I blurted that, I immediately turned towards the stairs so they wouldn't see my flushed cheeks. I knew she was so shocked to hear what I had just blurted out. I was even surprised I could say that. 

I led her to her room that day with my heart beating so fast, I don't know why that's happening but I knew I was nervous to be around her, but I wanted to be around her. At all costs though. 

"You don't have to cry Laura, you look like Bella when you do so." I tried teasing her, and the shade of red that appeared on her cheek was so cute. 

I hit the steering of my car, why am I going down to our memory lane. I don't want to think about her again. 

"Dammit " I was dripping with sweat. I drove out of the parking lot. Thinking about what Emily just said. 

*"What?. Are you surprised?. Oh No, you shouldn't, because it's the truth. You know I haven't spoken back to you ever since my mum brought me to your house when I was 12, but you don't deserve such respect. And mind you, you don't have to be surprised, okay. Now use the door."* She fucking sent me out of the ward. She had the guts to even talk about divorce to me, what insolence. What nonsense! I was even waiting for her to give birth to her babies. Before I forward the divorce file. I feel so humiliated. 

What she said, is it true? Is Hannah just with me because of Judah?. Nah, that's not true, she's carrying my child, she can't be cheating on me with Judah. There is CCTV around the whole house even in her room, I can check that to be sure and certain she is not cheating. No, I can't believe Emily. 

I drove back to the house, I met Hannah, in the courtyard, seated on the swing, busy typing away her time on the phone. 

"Hey honey" she got startled and quickly put away the phone.

What's wrong, who's she talking to on the phone, that made her startled? What's she hiding from me?

"Honey, you are back. I knew she was going to lie to you that's why I told you not to go earlier today. Prove me wrong and tell me she told you what she said. Because your face said it all" Gosh am so confused. Who am I to believe among them now, my childhood crush who would soon be my ex-wife and my new lover who's carrying my child. Am so confused, to be honest with me, I still get a soft spot for Emily, we have been in love for years. But, just a simple act pull everything i...

"Leo are you even listening to me?. Gosh, so I have been talking to myself all this while." Hannah snapped me out of my thoughts. She's already pissed that I wasn't listening to her and was on her way back into the house... 

"Dammit, Hannah. Hey, I am sorry. Was just thinking of something. You don't have to get pissed please." I walked after her and held her hands, preventing her from moving further inside.

"It's annoying, put yourself in my shoes, you're talking to me, and I'm busy with something else ignoring you. How will you feel?" Oh my gosh, Hannah should understand and give me time. I am not trying to be selfish, but I can't help it. I still love Laura. But she's carrying a baby, I am not sure it is mine, I'm so confused.

"Am out of here" I heard Hannah say beside me, her tone shows she's so pissed off with me. Did I zoned out again? Oh No... just meeting with Laura for the first time in months, without Hannah there with me and I am already doubting my current relationship. 

"Fuck! " I need to apologize to Hannah. 

I walked into the room, saw her clothes littered on the floor, this is what Emily would never do. She is a neat freak. I guess she's in the bathroom. I stripped off my clothes and walked into the bathroom, I moved close to her, then began to rub her thighs, the steam coming from the water-filled the whole space, I felt so warm. 

She turned over to where I was and kissed me. It was such a cool kiss at first before it started getting heated.. she wrapped her hands around me pushing me backwards till my back touched the wall. I raised her right leg, her lower warm lips kissed my crotch, I felt the warm feeling all over my body. It was soul pleasing. I wanted to push into her, but her big tummy was preventing me. So I turned her over and pushed into her free walled pussy. It wasn't tight at all. But she was making good use of her pussy muscle, and she's good at what she does.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The morning alarm went off, it was 5:30 am Wednesday, cutting my good sleep short, I was unable to sleep after what I and Hannah shared in the bathroom. It always feels like whenever we get intimate, I feel my chest tightens within me, and I usually feel I have done something wrong.

Performing my morning duties, I walked down to the kitchen in just pants. I have been the one preparing the meals since day one of my relationship with Hannah, she doesn't know how to cook *and she's not ready to learn. My inner man yelled at me* I washed the dishes we used the night before. After I was done with that, I brought out a full chicken from the freezer, and cut it into some irregular sizes. Add it to the boiling water. I had started chopping the veggie when the buzzer to the front door went off.

"Who could that be? It's just a few minutes to seven." I froze immediately when I remembered what Emily said yesterday. 

"Point of correction Mr Luther, your mistress. And besides, you don't have to pass your qualities to your innocent pregnant wife because that's what you are, a liar, a cheat, a backstabber. I won't be here when you will need me, because a Tiger can't clean off its stripes, just for the records. She wants Judah, not you. You are just a tool to get to Judah. And your stupid self who's so trapped in her web put your marriage at stake just to please her, unfortunately for you, you just lost your marriage to your nasty game. I will get my lawyer to send you the divorce file tomorrow, sign it and watch how funny and lovely your downfall would be. Trust me Mr Luther your face is going to be on every tabloid, every signboard. Because it will be Marred on the street." 

my body began to shake, my body immediately got drenched with sweat. The buzzer went off again, snapping me out of my trance. 

"Who's there? " I called out with a shaky voice. I switched off the cooker, then walked to the door, gosh why don't I hire a maid already. I pace to and fro, in front of the door before finally opening it. 

"Good morning Mr Luther. " I looked up to see a lady, corporately dressed, standing with Mary-Rose, who wore a devilish smirk. 

"Good morning, how may I help you?"  My heart was beating at a pace that is faster than the speed of a bullet *the bullet moves almost at the speed of light idiot.. my inner man responded to what I just said  * 

"I am Barr. Donna and this is Mary-Rose.  My client who happens to be Mrs Luther made some special request that this file should be delivered to your doorstep before 7 am today. *She paused and opened a new file. * This is where you are to sign" I couldn't respond, I was just staring like a lost fellow. 

"Mr Luther, are you even listening to us at all?" The Barr. Snapped me out of my thoughts. I was lost, I am so scared.

"Don't I have the chance to see Emily before signing these files.?" I asked them. 

"Is that not what you've always wanted Mr Luther. Why do you still want to see her.?"  Mary-Rose said, sending daggers to me through her eyes, if looks could kill I would have been 6ft deep under the ground.

"Barr. Donna, please I need to talk to her, we need to come to agree on who's gonna take custody of the child"

"Mr Luther, I understand what you are saying, but you also need to know that everything you are talking about is already in the file. Take your time to read it. We will be back at the same time tomorrow morning. Thanks for your time" and with that they both left, giving me one of the copies of the file.

"My marriage is crumbling right in my presence and I am the one destroying it "

Emily is leaving me alone. I crushed down to the floor and shed tears.
