View MoreEmerald's Point of View The rain was pouring hard. I expected the rain to alleviate my pain, but it only intensified it. I couldn't drive away from his office. My husband's words kept echoing in my mind. He's always harsh. His words cut too deep inside my heart. The conflicting emotions within me drove me to accelerate aggressively. The speed of my car increased until I noticed another car traveling at the same speed but in a different direction. My eyes widened; I tried to step on the brake, yet it wasn't working. “What the…” The road was slippery, raising the possibility of accidents.A car unexpectedly swerved towards me, causing chaos in the middle of the road. My car moved independently after I tightly gripped the steering wheel. Fear builds up inside me. My car was hacked! I tried to reach out for my phone and contacted my parents. However, I couldn't find it in my bag, which added to the tension I'm feeling. Since I am now the only car that's driving recklessly, some
Emerald’s Point of ViewI woke up with a headache, but I had a cup of coffee beside me. From the moment I opened my eyes, I knew I was at Thea's place. I quickly looked for my phone to find out when it had run out of power.When Thea hopped onto the bed and smiled, I let out a deep sigh and stretched my body.“Tell me what happened yesterday with that hot guy, Emerald!” Thea was giggling. I hummed and hugged the pillow. I am currently at a loss for words, yet she is insisting that I wake up now that she has observed me awake.I had no choice but to sit down on the bed with my eyes still closed.“C'mon, tell me about him!” Thea's eyes twinkled. Carlos is basically his type. “He's a close friend in middle school. I was lucky I saw him at the club, but I ruined his top.” I affirmed. Thea suddenly bumped with my arms. His face was mixed with excitement, and she's clearly teasing me about him. “He likes you!” She exclaimed. "You two are cute together!” she said. "Date him, girl! I fee
Chapter 2: Alcohol Emerald’s Point of View I went to a well-known club to indulge in alcohol, regardless of the situation I was in. Jude made me lose my mind, giving me enough pain to endure until the moment I die.In his eyes, I am merely a hostage to him, serving as a substitute bride to take my sister's place. Despite my unwavering affection for him since we were young, it won't work anymore, and I still grasp on a man like him. I can no longer sacrifice my happiness for him. If I continue this marriage, then I don't have any respect and dignity left in me.I was on the verge of finishing the last shot of whiskey in my hand when my friend unexpectedly grabbed it from me. Her eyebrows shot up, sitting beside me in front of the bar counter. “Look at you, Emerald. You're too messy!” She snapped me back to reality. Thea is the only friend I have. She's been with me since middle school, and I grew up with her. Thea has always been the person I could rely on in times of need. She's
Emerald's Point of View The small wound I got while preparing the basket for my husband was nothing compared to the pain that struck in my heart. I walked towards his hospital room, and as expected, a couple of his men were scattered around and guarding his door. One of his security personnel looked at me from head to toe. “You're not a nurse or a doctor. Visitors are not allowed.” I bit my lower lip. I am not just a simple visitor but Jude's husband! Those are the lines I wanted to slap on them, but I couldn't. Our marriage is confidential; it should be kept a secret; otherwise, I'll be doomed if someone finds out! “I am representing Campbell Daily and an employee under Campbells. They asked me to personally deliver this fruit basket for him. How can I not fulfill the task assigned to me by my bosses? Will you cover up for me instead if my boss vents out their anger?” I responded sternly. The guard I was speaking to slowly glanced to his right side.One of them nodded his head an
