Emily

As I sit in my office looking at the list of families that are interested in medicine, I can’t help but think back to this morning and how we ended our conversation. I’m feeling terrible and no matter what angle I look at it from, he was right and I’m being unfair so I take my phone and dial his number which he picks up on the first ring, “Hi.” I breathe. Suddenly not knowing what to say or how to address the issue, I get tongue-tied.

“Yes baby, do you need something?” He asks patiently and his calm voice makes me even more nervous or is it the way he calls me “baby” even when he’s angry?

“I just wanted to apologize for earlier, you’re right. They’re your kids too so I shouldn’t be selfish.” I breathe again and he sighs on the other end.

“Okay. Thank you for telling me.” He says.

“Okay, then,” I respond and cut the call. My palms are sweaty and my heart is beating so fast. There is a knock on the door and Lily’s frame coming into view makes me breathe a sigh of relief. Fi

    Kayden We knocked off early from school because of a virus outbreak. Hayden and I were expecting Mummy to show up but it was Daddy instead. I nudge Hayden on the side with my elbow. “Look It’s Daddy!” I excitedly shout. The car comes to a stop and he steps out looking as dashing as always with his powerful aura, “It feels good to look alike with this man.” Hayden says and I nod in agreement. “It’s like seeing the future.” I grin. “Hey, boys! Hope you don’t mind me picking you up today.” He says as we shake our heads in unison. “Not at all. We love it when you pick us up but just don’t tell mummy.” Hayden whispers and I laugh. I know he’s joking so I let him get away with it. “She will definitely make us all sleep under a tree if I tell her. So, I’ll keep your secret.” He ruffles our hair as we walk to the car. Hayden and I nudge each other, grinning from ear to ear. We're proud to be Liam Lockhart's sons. The car ride home is always exciting even with Aunty Nina, and today is

    Victoria I decide it's time to throw a party, something extravagant to show everyone how fabulous my life is. After all, it's been ages since I hosted one, and what better occasion than the return of my longtime friend Kate? New York deserves to witness the glamor that is Victoria Smith. It seems Liam has blocked me and after working so hard to get that bitch out of his life it has been harder because no matter what I do, she just won't stay away. She’s like a moth drawn to a flame and eventually, I will burn her to the damn ground. Seeing that interview Liam did to clear her name drove me so crazy I had to fire ten people that day! I sigh as I sit up, I know how desperate she will be for that deal and eventually, that brave face she wore yesterday will be wiped off her face as she begs me for the deal. I smirk at the satisfaction of seeing her beg for my mercy while Liam has abandoned her and is by my side. Everything will soon be in place. I know that for sure. With a smile on my

    Emily There are certain mornings when I’m not feeling the best or motivated and one of those days is today. So, I decide to call in that I’ll be a bit late so that I can get my head clear and plan my next move. Victoria ruined our best shot yesterday and William managed to ruin every other option we could have had and just thinking about it makes me sad. My phone vibrates and It’s the hospital director. “Dr. Harper!” He says in a cheerful voice and I shake my head in wonder. What could have happened to make him so happy? not that it’s a bad thing. “Good Morning Director,” I respond as cheerfully as I can. “How has been the institute so far?” He asks and I massage my temples from a headache that’s starting to form. “Not so good.” Is my response knowing very well he’s aware of what mess William has created but hasn’t done anything about it! “I understand things must’ve been very difficult for you. I also know your preferences but this one you will have to make an exception because

    Liam “Well, we saw how she talked to you!” Kayden speaks first and is backed by Hayden. I’m highly impressed because I didn’t know my twins were this intelligent. I mean hacking a company is another thing but watching the meeting and hearing the audio is a whole skill to another level. I will have to ask them to tell me more when we’re alone because it seems that Emily has been hiding things from me. I can’t believe I didn't know that Victoria tried to sabotage her new collaboration. I will teach her a lesson she won’t forget. I grind my teeth in irritation but quickly calm myself down as I don’t want to scare the kids. “You may go.” I turn to Jake. A fuming Emily is about to nail the twins with her gaze. “We told you, we’d protect you, mummy.” They add in unison and I can see her anger vanish from her eyes instantly. “Well, that was a lot of money. Can you transfer it back?” She asks with worry in her voice. “What if they trace you and you get in trouble? She is not a very kin

    Emily “You don’t say!” Nina holds her mouth in shock as I narrate what Kayden and Hayden did. I burst out laughing trying to picture the face she had on when she was told she had no money. “I did speak to them but deep down I’m proud of them. I’m such a terrible person.” I place my face between my hands when Nina shocks me with her next words. “ I have an ex, I want to teach a lesson -” “No Nina. They won’t help you. Besides, they are grounded and won’t use any computers for a while.” I smile as I try to suppress my laughter. The kids are only six years old. I'm afraid of what they will be able to do at eighteen. The knock on the door brings us back to reality as Lily walks in, “The appointment is confirmed and you can now go there.” She smiles and I nod. “Thanks, Lily. Do you need a lift, Nina?” I ask, turning to her and she nods. “Hell yes. How else will I get home madame?” She rolls her eyes but I ignore her while I pack my testing kits and everything I’ll need. **********

    Emily I turn to Liam, grateful for his defense. "Thank you," I say quietly. He nods, his eyes reflecting a mixture of concern and frustration. "Focus on what needs to be done. I'll handle the rest." As the door closes, I take a deep breath and proceed with the tests hoping to find the answers that I seek. Hopefully, I will be able to diagnose her sooner than later. I look at Theo, "Theo, I need your consent to remove her from the machine so that we can begin the treatment. It's the best chance she has." He nods, "Do whatever it takes, Dr. Harper. We trust you. I’m so sorry about my sister I will ask her to apologize" “That won’t be necessary.” I move slowly and carefully, disconnecting the machine and carefully monitoring her vital signs. With Liam’s help, we shift her to a more comfortable position. I begin the initial treatment, administering medications that will hopefully help reduce the effects of the chemicals and provide some relief to her weakened body. Theo’s phone ri

    Emily My heart stops beating and my breath catches as a shiver runs down my spine. I feel a whirlwind of emotions sweep through me. His confession catches me off guard. As My heart races, I find myself at a loss for words. For a moment, I simply stare at him, searching his eyes for any sign that he might be joking or playing a game. I’ve constantly asked myself what my decision will be and every morning when I wake up and see him sitting at that table with the kids, my heart warms and deep down I know that is what I want to see forever. Every time he defends me and protects me from anyone, my heart settles more and more. and now after hearing his confession, I know there is no place I’d rather be right now. “ I never stopped loving you,” I whisper and the moment the words leave my mouth, his lips are on mine. We start slowly, capturing and tasting each other as if we're trying to make up for all those years we’ve been apart because of a cruel joke that fate played on us. I stradd

    Victoria “We sincerely apologize-” “GET THE HELL OUT!” I practically scream my lungs out and the stupid man gets up and runs out the door. I pick up every glass I can find and throw it at the door, sending the glasses shattering loudly. “After all that shame all they have to say is ‘sorry!?” I scream. All my plans have been backfiring. First, the stupid divorce that I pulled on Liam and Emily didn't go through because something went wrong, and now this! I’m now the laughingstock in town. I’ve been ultimately humiliated and some are saying I didn’t even pay my dues. News going around is that, Liam just felt sorry for me and It’s driving me crazy. He must be thinking I’m a low life now and the thought if it makes me want to strangle someone. My one chance to make him mine has been blown in my face and no matter how many people I fire, I just can’t seem to feel better. Someone knocks at the door and my eyes shoot at whoever is feeling brave enough to disturb me. I storm towards the

    Hayden “ Come on we are going to be late guys, Kayden will start his presentation very soon.” I tap my fingers on the table impatiently. When we turned eighteen earlier this year, Kayden was finally able to get his tech company launched which we are all supposed to be attending but Mum and Dad seem to be having time in reverse. “We are coming! Pick Maya up please” Mum says and I roll my eyes. Maya may be my little sister but she can be annoying as hell as right now, I want to be on my best behavior because beauty will be there today. “No Mum, Maya will misbehave and I want to impress Beauty,” I complain earning a chuckle from Dad who walks towards me and ruffles my hair making my frown and irritation disappear. As Kyaden and I grow older, the more we look exactly like Dad so I’m even able to tell how I’ll look years from now and I must say, it’s not such a bad thing. “She will gain you more points. Women find men who babysit attractive.” Mum says but I shake my head. “You’re goi

    Three months later: Nina The church is decorated beautifully. There are white roses along the aisle, making it smell sweet. Candles have been lit, giving the church a warm glow. At the front, there is a pretty arch with white fabric and flowers. I peep through the window to ensure everything is perfect despite Emily who is my maid of honor telling me everything is perfect. It’s been three months since that incident that shook my life. I wasn’t panicking like I normally would but being on the verge of death twice made me realise something, that I don’t want to waste any second longer so the moment we reached home, I told Theo I wanted to get married. At first, he laughed and thought I was joking until he realized that I was serious. It took three months because he first wanted to make sure all the overseas offices were working perfectly before setting up his headquarters right here in New York. My girls had lost it when they realized that I was attacked twice but they knew that som

    Theo “So you think this is over?” My uncle’s text reads making me grind my teeth in irritation. I’m about to respond but my sweet angel’s voice pulls me from the text. “Let me visit the restroom.” She says and I offer her a smile as I try not to show the displeasure that I’ve just received on such a happy day. “Okay, Princess,” I respond and she walks toward the restroom. Too many minutes pass as I start growing uncomfortable so I walk to the restroom. To check on what has gone wrong. When I get there it’s awfully quiet. “Nina?” I shout but I’m met with a silent response. “Nina!” I shout the second time but I don’t wait for her response when I walk into the ladies and find her purse and her phone on the floor. My heart beats loudly as the realization of what has just happened hits me. My uncle has taken my girl! My heart is pounding in my chest as I realize what has happened. I thought stripping him off his title and announcing his retirement would make him live in a corner but

    Nina "A date mmmm, Maybe he'll propose!" Lily says excitedly but I shake my head. "We've joked a few times about it but I'm not sure he's ready. Any way guys, it's just an ordinary dinner nothing too crazy or extra!" I pause and look at the girls who are all looking at me with raised eyebrows. Because of our crazy schedules, we promised to always call each other on video so that we never miss a day in each other's lives. Kate is awfully quiet which makes me feel uneasy. "Kate is something wrong?" I ask making her shoot her eyes up with a shake of the head. "No, I'm sorry guys. There is this story that is giving me a headache. Nina, whether he proposes today or next year, Theo loves you and I don't think there is anyone else he'd rather do life with." A blush creeps my cheeks at Kate's words. I'm about to respond when I hear a car, "Okay girls, I've got to!" I shout as I quickly hang up and rush downstairs. As Theo's car pulls up to my house, I feel a flutter of excitement in my

    One year later: Nina "This is great Nina, I'm so happy for you!" My manager says as we look at the list of how many pre-orders we have for the new book. It's like a dream come true. One which I didn't think was possible especially with how scared I was before I decided to give my dream a chance! I smile at her, "Thank you so much Miss Fanwell for believing in me and giving me this incredible chance." "No problem sweetheart, let's make today a success too!" She claps her hands together as we get the ball rolling. I take a seat at my table and start signing the pre-orders while we wait for 10 AM to open the doors. I run a smooth hand on my paperback and my heart swells with emotions. With a smile on my face, I take a picture and post it on I*******m for the first time in a year. After my Dad attacked me, I had been so paranoid and couldn't post my picture anywhere especially after I discovered how he found me. Social media can be a dangerous place to post most of your life.

    Emily I don’t know how much time has passed since I locked myself into my room but I can’t go out there yet. Not until I’m certain of the threat I just received. A soft knock at the door makes me panic as I think of a way out “I’ll be there just a minute.” I shout. As I’m about to stand, my phone vibrates and when I see Liam’s name flash on my screen my heart beats so fast. What if someone just found it and they want to give me bad news? With a shaking hand, I swipe right. “Hello?” My voice comes out shaken. “Baby? Are you okay?” comes Liam’s voice and my heart rests instantly replacing my fear with anger. “Why didn’t you pick up? I thought. I thought.” Tears start to fall on my face as all the possible scenarios return but I don’t know how to say it without him being angry at the fact that I kept the threats hidden from him for the past three months. “I had to take care of something. You won’t be receiving any threats anymore. I found the one behind it. Let’s talk about it whe

    Liam After an hour-long drive, I finally reach a normal-looking house which I’m guessing is under another name and if anything happens here, no one will know, making a smile stretch across my face. This is about to get very interesting! I walk to the front door and open it carefully, the last thing I want is to be tied to a chair and put my kids in danger especially since I came here without backup. But I have a few friends nearby and they will be more than glad to help out. Pushing the door open, I step inside, scanning the dimly lit room. "Anderson, where are you?" I call out. The house is so empty, my voice echoes. I take a seat on the couch as I wait for the man of the hour to show up. "Liam, I'm glad you came," Anderson says, his voice calm but I can taste his fear at the tip of my tongue. I nod at him as he takes a seat on the other side. “You look better.” I begin and he chuckles but it’s a forced laugh. As I look at him clearly, I can tell he is having a hard time and h

    Liam After leaving Theo’s office yesterday, I had to visit Dad and tell him what I was up to, and when he gave me the go-ahead, I knew I had to end this once and for all. I walk into the board room where the meeting is expected to be held. After digging some dirt for Smith shareholders, I was able to buy off their shares making me the largest shareholder with 51%. Victoria’s father wasn’t expecting to see me so when I stepped into the board room he looked at me in furry. “This is a shareholder’s meeting! “ He announces but I ignore him and sit on his opposite end. I want to see how his face will look while I strip him of everything he holds precious. “I’m well aware.”I smile. His assistant must have caught on because he leans in and whispers something to him which turns his face pale. I clear my throat as I stand and button up my jacket slowly. Everyone looks nervous because they didn’t expect me to be here and I know they’ve heard about me especially since some are the people I
