Chapter 7
[ Emily ] During my last stay in the hospital Susan managed to fill me in on some details I'll be needing. Casper hasn't been coming frequently , after his discharge he was deeply imersed in his work. I pray his work load increase so I'll be left alone . “ Amelia we have to leave the hospital now , is there any thing you want to discuss with the doctor.” Susan said smiling at her “Nothing for now .”Emily replied We are going to be moving back to the Villa today according to Susan. She has been happy since the doctor said I can be discharged and was fine. Susan has been quite a talkative lately not that i mind her talks. “ I think you still need a wheelchair Amelia.”Susan said suddenly I don't think i can bear sitting in a wheelchair again ,” There's no need for that the doctor said the baby is okay and exercise is needed now.” Emily said holding her little bump with a smile Susan left the room maybe to get something but Emily was surprised to see her and a smiling Casper . “Surpriseee!!!..”. Susan said Wait. Why are they doing all this unnecessary stuff . “Hey.”I said trying to hide my discomfort behind a smile Casper's presence always make me tense up.”You didn't tell me you will be coming today honey.”Emily said with a forced smile “ Let's go home baby.”Casper said holding her before planting a kiss in her forehead Home- Can I call that place home, as far as i know I have no home , no family except my baby. “mmm.” Emily nodded trying to stand from the bed , before she could do that Casper already carried her in a bridal way. “Put me down!! , Am perfectly capable of walking!!!, Susan tell him to please put me down!.” Emily screamed while hitting Casper's back all through the hallway with everyone ignoring her even Susan left her Is this the plan , seriously. someone please pinch me. “Hmmph .” Emily huffed already tired of shouting which made Casper chuckle making her body vibrate in return . “Already tired cara.” Casper said spanking her butt which caused her to yelp loudly . “You crazy bastard!!!!...” Emily shouted hitting his back causing him to wince in pain Serves him right. “Amelia you have a perfect butt you know , it's even better than before .”Casper said with a sexy smirk plastered on his face This man has lost his mind , obviously. “Am pregnant you know and bullying a pregnant woman isn't good .”Emily said gritting her teeth Casper dropped her gently .”Is the baby okay , are you fine.”Casper asked worriedly “Don't touch me.” Emily said walking ahead of him as fast as she could This was the scene Susan met.”Is everything alright son?.”She asked him “I just made a pregnant woman mad .”Casper said with a sad face Susan understood immediately, she observed that Emily wasn't yet comfortable in Casper's presence and Casper carrying her made her angry. “I'll talk to her , just drive back home and i will drive back with Emily .” Susan said considering Emily's temper she and Casper might end up having another quarrel if they drive back in the same car. “But…” “No buts , take care and drive carefully . “Susan said leaving him Casper mistaking Emily for Amelia is something Susan find hard to believe , The two people involved are opposite in her own opinion. Emily just closed her eyes when she entered the car , she didn't want to talk to anyone at the moment. Planning her revenge was something she couldn't forget . Casper is just a stepping stone for her. She just pray he recovers his memory quickly so that… “Are you still angry at Casper.” Susan said entering the car Emily immediately released the breath she was holding.” Thanks for not letting Casper ride with me , am not emotional stable now .” Emily managed to explain “Casper is just happy to reunite with the girl he loves that why he's like that.” Susan said “Am not Amelia the girl who loves him, my reaction wasn't far fetched. This task is weighing me down and bitting me emotionally.”Emily said finally allowing the tears to flow “You don't have to cry Emily.” Susan said using her real name maybe to comfort her .” This is just an illusion you have to create in your mind but if you can't fight the feeling embrace it.”Susan said “I was betrayed by the two people have always leaned on . Loving someone with everything in you and getting nothing more but betrayal and pain. Am sorry if my acting has been affecting your son , I can't do more than that.”Emily said wiping her tears She can't afford to let her already broken heart get involved in an act of fake love.CHAPTER 8[ Emily ]Looking out the car to clear her mind, Emily noticed the scenery had changed more like the car was taking a more secluded route, the road was empty except their car . Emily looked round then looked at Susan.“Where are we going?, This route looks strange .”Emily asked a little bit scared“This is the way to our Villa, my husband didn't like the city life he liked peace and quiet .”Susan said smiling “It's beautiful .”Emily said, looking out again relieved.“Casper and Amelia never stayed here , Amelia liked the city life, I hated the fact that she took my son away from us at that time .”Susan said with a little frownEmily didn't know Why Susan said it but it sounded like a warning .“I don't have any say in his daily life , don't expect me to act as a dutiful wife and daughter in-law .”Emily suddenly said coldlySusan immediately sighed, not Knowing how to continue.Emily was wowed by the gate, it looked like a wall blocking the outside world from what's inside.
Chapter 9[ Casper ]Casper stood facing the window , his face devoid of any emotion - this was the Casper everyone was used to , cold as the North Pole.“Evan, did you manage to track down the intruder?” Casper said his voice sending shiver down Evan's spine“We tracked him but the person has inside information , he changed location twice and we lost him.” Evan said the last part slowly trying to get Casper's reaction before continuingBefore Casper could respond someone entered the office .” Ryan , what are you doing in my office?.”Casper asked the person without turning back“Wow am honored , my beloved brother .”Ryan said sarcastically“Evan see him out.” Casper said coldly“Mr Ryan the president is busy now , maybe we can schedule a meeting some other time.” Evan said trying to walk Ryan out without offending him“You didn't tell me you got married again .” Ryan said ignoring Evan Immediately he said that Casper turned around looking at Ryan.”How does that bother you.”Casper ask

They died in the hands of the Mexicans, Susan and her husband were the target initially but Ryan's parents took the fall for them .

Chapter 12 [ Emily ] Today would be the first time I'll be leaving the Villa since I returned from the hospital, the Villa is equipped with everything you would need .I hate the fact that Casper is the one taking me to the hospital, Susan said she'll be back tomorrow .Am standing in the front of my closet confused about what to wear. My bump is a little bit visible now and I have added a little bit of weight.I decided to wear a pair of loose trousers and a hoodie .” Simple and comfortable .” I said hugging myself when an intruder decided to disturb my peace of mind.“ You look beautiful, baby.” Casper said walking in I think he still need a check up with the doctor , I look like a fucking potato in a sack and he's saying am beautiful.“ Have told you not to enter my room without knocking , what if I was naked .” Emily said trying to hold back the anger“ Have told you , we aren't supposed to sleep separately. I am going to move in with you or you move in our room.” Casper said m
Chapter 13[ Casper ] This night is the Mexican ball, Athens would be coming from Russia any moment from now . Athens has been my childhood friend and at one point we had a sexual relationship.She hates Amelia because she claims Amelia took me away from her, her father was one of the best assassin's and now the name has been passed on to her. She's a fighter , you are never going to think she can fight that is why I'm taking her with me.My mom is currently at home with Amelia , Amelia's attitude changed completely after the visit to the hospital, more distant . The doctor said it's part of pregnancy.Mom is aware of my plans tonight , and am not going to risk Amelia's safety for a party . Athens is a skilled fighter so taking her with me is an advantage.“ The Don summoned me .” Athens said barging into my office with a seductive dress , seems like she's not giving up anytime soon.“ Welcome to NYC , have Evan prepped you about the mission.” Casper asked“ Ivan don't go all bossy o
Chapter 14[ Emily ] I got a call from Susan that Casper was taken to the hospital. I don't know why I was so worried. Susan said she'll come over so we both can go to the hospital. I quickly wore a simple dress and put my hair in a ponytail. “ Emily, sorry for dragging you into this again.” Susan said as soon as she saw Emily“You don't have to say that, you guys saved my life and am ready to help anytime.” Emily said “ He was shot and am scared , what if he wakes up and starts refusing treatment .” Susan explained to Emily“ Let's hurry .” Emily said making Susan smile a little bitOn reaching the hospital the nurse directed us to his ward.Casper was lying down looking a little bit pale and a beautiful woman was sitting near him. If you didn't know, you'll think she's his girlfriend or wife.“ Casper , how did you get shot .”Susan said sadly “Mom , you don't have to scold Ivan . He took the bullet for me . We didn't expect our car to be attacked .” Athens said bowing her head
Chapter 15[ Emily ]Casper has been discharged from the hospital today and i'm home waiting for them. I made excuses just to stay at home since Athens is always threatening or glaring at me. Am not going to fight for a man I don't even love - are you sure Emily ? I asked myself in disbelief.“ Stacy, I want chips. “ I said pouting , my relationship with Stacy had improved since , she now talks to me freely.“Get the bags to his room, Athens get the other things.” Emily heard Susan sayingWhat the ? , why's Athens still coming here ?. This is fucked up. Emily took her chips to the direction of their voices.“Welcome back home guys.”Emily said munching on her chips avoiding Athens gaze“Oh my dear , how have you been?.” Susan said smiling at herCasper looked a little bit better than the last time she saw him, His shoulders were bandaged with Athens supporting him.“ Amelia go and help Casper to his room , don't stand there lost.” Susan said and she could feel Athens gaze on her.C
Chapter 131[ Cherly ]It's a brand new day , Emily watch out . Your good days are finally coming to an end .“ Where are you going ?.” Dan asked sitting down“ Remember the women I told you about , she said she has something important to tell me . This piece of news is going to ruin Emily's reputation .” Cherly said happily“ Is the woman reliable , remember what happened last time.” Dan said looking at Cherly“I remember clearly , the woman isn't going to fail us , she's someone close to Casper and as a woman I understand what's happening , she's fighting Emily for Casper so why not take advantage of this opportunity .” Cherly said“How sure are you that this plan is going to work .” Dan said “70% , don't worry . I'll won't let you lose out . This is something we have put our all In and losing isn't an option .” Cherly said“ I love you .” Dan said Immediately he knew Cherly had flaws too and he also has but she's willing to helpCherly was moved to tears , she felt the sincerity
Chapter 130[ Hardin ]“ Athens what do you think u should do , Emily is acting fine but she obviously isn't fine .” Hardin said sighing“ You shouldn't do anything she would want you to , the only thing between them is the child he has with Amelia . Emily has been hurt before and she doesn't want to be a victim twice so she's trying to distance herself from Casper. I'd do the same if I were in her Shoes .” Athens said“ My dad is worried about her. “ Hardin said“Just help her with the court case and she'll be fine. Casper can handle Amelia; you don't have to stress yourself . There's Matthew .” Athens said“Maybe , just maybe they aren't meant to be together. “ Hardin said “What's up bro , hey sister in-law .” Emily said walking down the stairs with a smile on her face“Emily , why are you smiling ?.” Hardin asked looking at her“Hardin , you expect me to frown on a good day like this. “ Emily questioned“What's the good news?.” Hardin asked“I think Dan and Cherly have a very g

You don't have strong evidence yet . Try getting the lawyer to confess and the call wasn't recorded so we just have to follow it up this way .” The lawyer explained“Okay , let's go .” Emily said sighingDan has the transfer documents , she signed and that was his strength . The trip to the Axel company was short , when she entered the room everyone was staring and gossiping but Emily maintained her expressionless face .“ Emily , why didn't you inform me you were coming here. Have your seat .” Dan said acting sweet “No
Chapter 128[ Casper ]Casper was in the restaurant waiting for Amelia , she was back in NYC and his relationship with Emily was getting strained every single day . “Am sorry am late , Ivan was having a Cold so I had to put him to sleep first .” Cherly explained sitting down“ How's he now ?.” Casper asked “He's fine .” Amelia said“You know the circumstances around our marriage , I'll take care of the child and everything would be arranged , my secretary would take you to the house . That's where you would be living . My mom would take care of the child and you can see him anytime . I hope you understand .” Casper explained“Yes , thanks but I don't accept you taking my child away from me , Casper this is our son . He doesn't deserve to be treated this way. I know it's not your decision , it's your Mom . She doesn't like me I understand but that doesn't mean she would treat my child like an illegitimate child . He's the true heir .” Amelia said “I have a son and am getting marri
Chapter 127[ Casper ]Welcome to NYC . Casper entered the Villa and was greeted with silence . “Good day Mr Hallow .” Stacy said“ Where's everyone ?.” Casper asked“Matthew moved out and is currently staying with Miss Emily while Susan took Mason there because she'll be going to France .” Stacy explained“Okay .” Casper said going to his room“Sir..” Stacy called him“Speak .” Casper said“ Miss Amelia came over earlier , she said she wanted to speak with you.” Stacy saidCasper frowned , but Amelia said she wanted to stay in Russia. “ How was she able to enter ? .” Casper asked“I don't know sir but she came with Harry , he was the driver that took Matthew's belongings .” Stacy explainedCasper was tired so he went to his room. Amelia what are you up to ?. Casper knew everything was planned but why was he still falling for it . He has to apologise to Emily , Casper had his bath before leaving to the Lin Villa .~Matthew was chasing Mason round the room , since Mason started wal
Chapter 126[ Emily ]Emily wanted to use the restroom so she asked Athens for directions .“Looks like you took a wrong turn. Mrs Roger .” Amelia said looking at Emily with a small smile“ I think you are mistaken about the name , during the time you were playing dead you forgot to check the news , right ?.” Emily asked with a smirk“ I didn't know you were this rude .” Amelia said“ I'll take my leave now .” Emily wanted to leave but Amelia blocked her path“ Not so fast , I have something to tell you . You already know I am Casper's wife. I was kidnapped by his brother . Ryan died so I was able to escape with my child , me and Casper's son . “ Amelia said looking at Emily“ So what do you want from me ?.” Emily said trying so hard to maintain her emotionless face“Don't take my family away from me , my son deserves to have a complete family . I heard you made Casper the father of your child .” Amelia said“ Are you spying on us ?.” Emily asked surprised , only close family knew ab
Chapter 125[ Matthew]“ What happened , Hardin said he died .” Emily asked Matthew“He's not alone , over the years Ryan has built his own empire and taking him down isn't easy . I wonder why Casper isn't aware .” Matthew said“ So we are going to Russia , for what exactly . I told you I don't like it .” Emily said with a frown“ We are going to take your husband back , can you stop complaining? Amelia's presence is not a coincidence, it's a plan but there's no way to prove it so we just have to go there .” Matthew explained“ I'm not going .” Emily said“Well you can't do anything because I am taking you there , your presence is going to disrupt some plans. “ Matthew said“ You are just stubborn Emily .” Matthew said“ He's going to go to the business dinner with her and if the media captures it . It's going to be big news .” Matthew said“I don't care .”Emily said“Casper's in trouble and we are going to save him , why are you so stubborn .”Matthew said shaking his headMatthew and
Chapter 124[ Casper ]Casper looked around before walking to his car , this was the place he grew up but the memories are something he doesn't want to remember but they keep coming back .“What's going on there ?.” Casper asked the driver“ There is a commotion ahead . I'll go check it out .” The driver said getting ready to leave the car“Don't go , it might be a trap . “ Casper said closing his eyes“Save me ! He wants to take my son away from me ! “ Casper heard the familiar voice shouting“ Let's go .” Casper said leaving the carIt was Amelia , she was struggling with a man who looked drunk and there was a child of three or four years in between them crying.“ Take care of it and bring the woman to the hotel. “ Casper said leavingHis head was aching , who is the father of the child and why does he look like me .After smoking for sometime he went to the hotel room and asked them to keep Amelia .“ Casper, it's really you. I thought I was kidnapped . Thank you for saving us .
Chapter 123[ Emily ]As I flipped through the documents my heart was in pain , Mr Axel was assassinated . My dad was able to obtain the police file . The picture of the scene wasn't something Emily expected to see . When everything happened she felt lucky to have Dan by her side . The funerals and other things were taken care of by her father's trusted assistant .“His name is Wyatt Johnson and his brother's real name is Caleb Johnson . He knew all Axel's secrets and he told Dan his best friend but Dan was greedy so he followed the plan but killed Wyatt in the process that's why Caleb is back to expose Dan .” Hardin explained it to her“So now he's in our custody , Dan thinks he's dead and there's no way that the secret will be exposed .” Emily said smiling“Yes and that's when we strike , after collecting the company we expose him of murder with Caleb as a witness he's going to spend the rest of his life in prison .” Hardin explained“ That's okay , where is Dad? We are supposed to
