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

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
