CHAPTER 6
[ Casper ] Amelia just called my mom "mom" that's not even shocking the fact that mom was smiling at her was , the two of them have never had that kind of close relationship. "Bro are you alright , you don't need the doctor do you."Evan questioned Casper suspiciously "Did you see the interaction between my mom and Amelia."I asked Evan "That's not.." It was at the tip of Evans tongue to say that the lady inside the room wasn't Amelia but a total stranger. "There's a problem . Ryan's is causing trouble in the company ."Evan said sighing "What is he saying ."Casper asked displeased by the news Ryan always finds way to annoy Casper since their father made Casper the sole heir to the company . "That's not the real problem the problem now is that our shipments are been held by some officials."Evan said sighing again "Can you stop sighing , am supposed to be having a good time with my wife and now this."Casper said with a frown on his face Evan was surprised by his reply ."Amelia is dead bro, that lady in there might be a spy sent by the Mexicans."Evan said looking at Casper "How dare you..!"Casper shouted catching Evan off guard "You are just my right hand man you don't have the right to make decisions for me , you may not like Amelia but that doesn't give you the right to defame her ."Casper said giving Evan a cold look enough to make him shiver "Am sorry Don I'll arrange for the shipment and also a meeting with the board of directors tomorrow."Evan said avoiding Casper's eyes "Just go."Casper said closing his eyes leaning towards the wall He knew Evan had run out of the room in a hurry, why is everyone saying his Amelia is dead when she's alive here. "Arrrhhh!!!.."He screamed suddenly his head started aching seriously that he fainted [ Emily ] The doctors already said I will be able to leave the hospital in two weeks time , am so happy my baby was saved which am thankful to Mrs Susan. "Emily you have to get used to me calling you Amelia , are you okay."Susan asked softly Emily never imagined Mrs Susan to be this kind of easy going person. But she still felt the powerful aura surrounding her. "I'll try Mrs Susan."Emily said "Am not an old lady , just call me Susan but I'll prefer you calling me Mom ."Susan said smiling "I'll be more comfortable calling you Susan for now ."Emily said Susan didn't know what made her like this girl or why she was dissatisfied when she didn't choose to call her mom. "Okay i understand."Susan said trying to hide her disappointment The both of them didn't know what to talk about so the room was quiet not until a nurse rushed inside . "Madam Mr Hallow fainted and have been taken to a ward."The nurse said making Mrs Susan jump up in fear "What happened? Where is the Ward take me there. Emily I'll be right back ."And with that Susan ran out of the room Emily was once again left alone with her thoughts." What would Dan and Cheryl be doing now , probably watching a romantic movie cuddling or..."She didn't even finish before the Same nurse entered again "Ma'am your presence is requested ."The nurse said wheeling a wheelchair inside the room "What's the situation."Emily managed to ask "Mr Hallow is refusing medications and is strongly requesting to see you first." The nurse said Emily sighed before instructing the nurse to assist her with the wheel chair. The doctor told her that she didn't need to strain herself hence the wheelchair. On arriving she heard Casper's voice "You guys are liars where's Amelia , she isn't dead right?." Emily took a deep breath calming her self and also giving herself a consolation this was for her and her baby."Honey you have to take your drugs , am here now."Emily tried to sound natural as possible Susan looked at her gratefully and the doctor looked releived by her presence . "I thought they were lying to me, am ready to take the medicine but you have to promise me something."Casper said holding her hands "What's the promise honey."Emily replied stiffly "You and my baby will never leave me , I can't live without you and our baby."Casper said almost crying "You have to take your dose first Honey."Emily said trying to change the topic quickly "Not until you promise."Casper said still holding her hands tightly She looked at him then Susan who was trying to hold back her tears. She promised to keep her baby safe and this was the sacrifice ."definitely."She said to CasperChapter 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 suddenlyI 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 smileSusan left the room maybe to get something but Emily was surprised to see her and a smiling Casper .

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

How long have u been like this .The last thing I remembered was jumping out of the plane .“ I see you are awake . How are you feeling .” An old woman entered the hut with different herbs in her hands “ Why am u been chained to the bed ? , Who are you ?.” Casper asked weakly “ Am just trying to help you don't think about it too much , I was out looking for herbs and I saw you but I decided to save you .” The woman explained “ How long have I been unconscious ?.” Casper asked “Two days now , that's why I chained you to a bed , if you leave this room you'll die .” The woman said “Thanks for saving me but I need to leave now . “ Casper said If they could try killing him this way that means Emily isn't safe .“I'll let you go when you get well enough so now lie back and enjoy .” The woman said “Wh

Chapter 144[ Emily ]I sat down , frozen in place , staring at the text on my phone . My heart was racing and my hands were shaking .I can't , I shouldn't believe what I just saw , how can Casper's plane suddenly disappear . This had to be a mistake , or worse - a cruel prank .Re-read the message over and over again , I knew in my heart that this was real and not a prank .
