My arranged marriage: Emelda and Bryan. Chapter 35
Bryan's POVThe scent of the early morning sun wafted through my nose as I laid tired on the bed. I blinked my eyes open and was surprised to find myself alone in the bed, Emelda's side of the mattress empty, the sheets still imprinted with the shape of her body.Reaching for my phone, I checked the time, surprised to see that it was just past seven. I thought I had overslept, yesterday was indeed a handful. She must have woken up early, I thought to myself, feeling a sense of unease as I sat up in bed, my mind racing as I tried to figure out where she would be.As I sat there, the memory of Emelda's crying from the night before became fresh in my mind.I had come in to get my phone, thinking she would be asleep. I came in quietly but my heart shattered when I saw her face all buried in the pillow as she sobbed quietly. “Oh! Bryan, what did you do.” I rhetorically asked, deep ache spreading through

Emelda's POVI settled into my desk, my mind wondering what I ate that upsetted my stomach this bad. I had visited the ladies room twice this morning already. Booting my laptop, I was surprised to hear the front desk receptionist calling my name, her voice carrying a hint of excitement."Emelda, you have a package," she said, her tone eager as I rose from my seat, my curiosity piqued as I followed her down the hall.As I reached the reception area, I saw a bouquet of flowers sitting on the front desk, the sight catching me off guard as I studied the arrangement, the colorful blooms filling the space with their sweet scent.As I stepped closer, my hand reaching out to pick up the bouquet, I noticed a small card tucked into the arrangement, my heart fluttering as I realized it must be a message from the sender."To Emelda," the note read in a simple, yet elegant script. "You are beautiful, strong, and talented. You

Emelda's POV “Well, well, well," the very familiar voice said, the words dripping with disdain as I turned to see my stepsister Natasha standing there, a smirk on her face as she surveyed the scene before her. “Natasha," I said, my voice cool and detached as I met her gaze, my body tensing as I tried to keep my emotions in check."What are you doing, Cinderella? Shopping for a prince?" She mocked, her hands rolling her brown hair. "Do you have some balls to attend, CinderEmelda?" As she spoke, I felt the heat rising in my cheeks, the old wounds of our relationship reopening as I struggled to find the right words to respond.“Not now, Natasha.” I uttered, taking my gaze off her to focus on the rack of dresses in front of me."You know, Emelda, you've always been nothing but a wannabe," Natasha spat, her voice dripping with contempt as she took a step closer to me, her eyes flashing with malice. "You're just a pathetic

Bryan's POV As I stepped into my apartment, the door closed behind me with a soft click.The apartment was too quiet, I wondered where everybody went, knowing Emelda had actually left work earlier than I did.Drained as hell, I dropped my black leather bag onto the couch as I sunk myself right into it too. My body was still tense from the information I received. I stared blankly at the wall in front of me, my mind still reeling from the shock of the text message that had interrupted my conversation with Emelda earlier that day at work."What the hell?" I muttered to myself, my brain still trying to process the words on the screen. The memories of the words on the screen burnt itself strongly into my memory as I relived the moment over and over again. I could memorize every word, every letter. “What mind blowing audacity she got.” I hissed, my fingers trembling slightly as I clutched the phone in m

Natasha’s POVAs I flagged down a cab that would take me home, I couldn’t help but still be amazed. What had played before my eyes in the shopping mall still stunned me. “Had it all just been a farce or had Jonathan or whatever his name was just purchased the second and last remaining Crescent Sole designer shoe?” I questioned myself.My gosh! I have always longed to have that designer shoe, but of course I wouldn’t be able to afford it even if I wished. Not with our current financial status. But, how? I gasped for the umpteenth time. “How had Jonathan managed to snag that shoe?”As I tried to wrap my head around it, I recalled a friend telling me that the Crescent sole designer shoe alone was worth almost half a grand, yet that pathetic had bought it on the spot. Was he not supposed to be poor and wretched?“No! Something didn’t add up.” I reiterated to myself.I was s

Bryan's POV The loud noise we heard earlier sounded again, this time louder and unable to ignore as it vibrated across the walls. Emelda's eyes, like an automatic robot, moved from me and fell at the door. With the noise too loud to ignore, I dashed out of the room. As I stormed out of the room, my mind clouded with rage and frustration, I barely registered Emelda's footsteps behind me. “What's all these?” I asked, irritated by the persistent banging. I allowed Emelda's words telling me to calm down to fall on deaf ears as I made my way towards the sitting room, my heart still pounding in my chest as I tried to calm my racing thoughts. And then, just as I was about to turn the corner into the sitting room, The loud noise sounded again, this time clearer from within. The noise came from our very door. Someone has been banging on it.

Emelda's POV I stood in shock for about a minute, everything around me frozen.It can't be! With my heart racing, and my feet barely able to keep up with Bryan, I quickly rushed after Bryan down the stairs.My hands were shaking as I tried to grip the rail for support, and my eyes opened wide with shock as I tried to take in what was happening."Bryan, wait!" I called out, my voice shaky and uncertain as I tried to catch up to him, my breath coming in short gasps as I fought to keep pace, my mind filled with fear and panic.As we reached the street, the sight of Jonathan lying motionless on the ground made my blood run cold, my heart leaping into my throat as I saw the pool of blood spreading beneath him.I shook my head in disbelief, struggling to comprehend the horror of the scene before me."Jonathan!" I gasped, my voice a high, shrill cry as I ran to his side, my knees hitting the pavement with a

Bryan's POVImmediately, I reached out to Emelda, my hand on her arm as I tried to calm her, my words soft and reassuring as I spoke. "We have to trust the police, hun." After much struggle, I was able to calm her down as she listened to my words. “Will we get them back?” She asked, her words not seeking an answer but a strong reassurance. “We will hun. We will.” I answered. Taking Emelda by the hand, we sat on the long bench at the waiting area. “No, I can't wait anymore.” Emelda voiced as she suddenly stood up. She was scared and frustrated. “It's either you and your team move in now or be prepared to have a dead woman in your station.” Emelda threatened, her eyes red hot. As Emelda's words echoed through the station, the officer's demeanor changed, his face tense and focused as he nodded to his colleagues, his words quick and decisive as he ordered them to take action.Within minutes, the police had mobilized, their cars speeding through the streets as they headed towards Nat

Bryan's POV Emelda and I sat shocked and confused for a while as we tried to process the information we had just heard. “What do you mean?” Emelda asked, her eyes still widened in shock as she stood up abruptly, panic and fear evident in her eyes. “Kids, what kids?" I asked, my voice trembling with emotion as I stood by Emelda's side, totally lost. I forgot Emelda had broken the news about her pregnancy a few months after we had separated. "Our kids, Martha and Marco," Emelda answered, her calm voice turning sharp. Ignoring Emelda's outburst which was obviously due to the emotions whirling up in her inside, I turned to face the driver who had delivered the news. His face was pale and drawn as he stood before us, he was shaking from too much adrenaline brought about from the fear he felt. “When and where did this happen?” I asked, my voice cracking as I tried to gather any information that could be helpful. "Just an hour ago," the driver said, his voice barely audible as

With anger still coursing through me, I sat rigid as I stared blankly at the television in front of me. My mind drifted as the images flashed on the screen, the light from the LED screen washing over my face as I sat in contemplation.As much as I tried to follow through with the show on the television, my thoughts instead turned to Emelda, the woman I had loved and lost, her face floating in the darkness of my mind as I thought about where she might be.I closed my eyes, the memories of Emelda swirling in my mind as I remembered the past, the feelings of love and happiness we had shared before everything had gone wrong, before I had pushed her away.As irritation towards myself grew, I sighed, sat up and reached for the remote control. I muted the television and sat alone in silence with my thoughts in the room. I had to think well and fast.

Bryan's POV “Sir, the company's truck we ordered has been delivered.” My assistant, Shan, spoke over the phone as we spoke. “Oh really?” I replied, my tone calm and professional. “I will join you downstairs soon, I need to inspect it myself.” I added just before ending the call. It's been over two years and I was excited with the accomplishments and heights the company has risen to. As I stood up from my comfortable wheeled chair and began walking towards the door, my eyes fell on the picture of Jonathan on the left side of the wall. Although sad, I smiled. I felt fulfilled and happy that I had made him proud. With a smile still on my face, I reached out for the doorknob, opened it and exited my office for the parking lot underground.I met Shan at the doorway leading to the parking lot. Without a word, he joined me as I descended the stairs. As we walked towards the truck, we heard voices of two ladies discussing. Shan gave me a look as we found out that one of those ladies w

Emelda's POV My heart shattered into a million pieces as I watched Bryan and Cassandra walk away, my vision blurry with tears as I tried to process what was happening. “Why was Bryan with Cassandra? Are they now together?” I thought, my mind dazzled with confusion and I stood, rooted to the spot. As I continued to stare at them, this time with their backs facing me, I pondered in my mind as I tried to understand why Bryan had betrayed me, why he had chosen Cassandra over me. Why couldn't he just believe my own words? I thought two people in love are supposed to trust each other too? I felt a sob rip through me, my body shaking with grief as I leaned against a wall, my hands pressed to my face as I wept. "Why, Bryan?" I whispered, my voice breaking as I stared after them, the pain and loss tearing through me like a storm. I was numb with grief, my thoughts spinning as I stood there, my body shaking with sobs as the world around me seemed to fade away. To think that Bryan wasn

Emelda's POV The streets were bustling with activity, the sound of car horns and street vendors calling out their wares echoing through the air. I moved through the crowds, my eyes scanning the faces of the people around me as I headed towards the park. The buildings in that environment were old and rundown, the paint peeling and the windows cracked as I walked past, the scent of exhaust and garbage filling my nostrils. I kept my head down, my shoulders hunched as I avoided the stares of the men on the street, their leers and whistles making my skin crawl. After a few more minutes of walking, I came closer to the park. Sighting the bus I was about to leave, I broke into a run, my heart pounding in my chest as I dodged the people on the sidewalk, my breath coming in short gasps. "Wait!" I shouted, my voice raw with desperation as I reached the bus stop, waving my arms frantically at the driver. The bus slowed, the brakes screeching as it came to a stop, and I climbed aboard F

My head was pounding as I leaned back in the passenger seat, the world around me spinning as the cab pulled away from Cassandra's house. "Idiot," I muttered, my voice low and venomous as I glared out the window into the quiet street."What the hell were you thinking?"I ran my hands through my hair, my mind racing as I tried to remember what had happened.“Oh! The bar. I guess I got so drunk,” I recalled my jaw clenching as the memories of the previous night and the videos I received came rushing into my mind.The thoughts of Cassandra and me in an intimate position crossed my mind and immediately my heart cringed. “Gosh! I just hope nothing like that happened.” I let out as I ran my palm across my face. "Cassandra," I growled, my jaw clenching again as I recalled her face last night, her voice, her touch. "She was all over me, practically dripping with seduction."I shook my head, disgusted with myself. "I should have been smarter," I muttered. "I should have resisted her."But I h

Emelda's POV “My child… My child, Emelda.” The old woman's voice rang out in the small room she used as her sitting room, piercing through my thoughts as I stared lost in thoughts into the unfamiliar streets. I flinched as she touched me, bringing me back to the present. I quickly covered the curtain and sank into a nearby wooden seat by the side, fear and uncertainty flooding back into my mind."Are you okay, child?" the woman asked, her voice gentle and kind as she moved her hands from my shoulder to my head, a look of concern etched across her weathered face."I… I…I'm fine," I murmured, my voice shaking slightly as I tried to gather my composure. "I'm just worried about everything that has been happening, and my husband isn't picking up my calls.""I'm sorry, dear," the old woman said, her voice soft and apologetic. "I know you're worried about your husband, but you need to take it easy, remember the baby’s life is at risk."I nodded, my mind still clouded with worry as I locked
