Chapter 64

The smell of lemons got rid of the urge to throw up and made that one problem not exist for me anymore.

"Wake up" Olivia said and pulled the pillow out of my face. Daylight rushed into my eyes forcing me to blink several times. I glared at her and pouted.

"Come on, let's get going, have your bathe, get dressed and have your breakfast so we can deal with this once and for all". I gave her a look and sighed knowing she was right and she was basically doing all this for me. Why am I being so ungrateful?

I got up, had my bathe and got dressed with help from Olivia who insisted on picking my outfit as I had to put on a confident air around me when I speak to the staff. I went downstairs feeling quite tried already and began lazy eating but I had no appetite. It had to be the morning sickness. I knew I had to eat but once I took a bite of the pancakes Maria made, I felt like throwing up all of a sudden. If not for the lemon scented perfume, I would've

"Well he also said to inform you that if you actually needed anything in the future he would be willing to help, but he doesn't want there to ever be a reason for both of you to cross paths again. I-im sorry miss, don't worry; you'll find some other guy that would care and love you" she tried to make me feel better but little did she know; I couldn't care less about those love crappy stuff. My whole world revolves around my art and art only. Well, as at then.I thanked her for the note and then shut the door behind me.And now here she is, before me once more.

    Chapter 66Olivia and I exchanged glances, a silent understanding passed between us. We had found the truth we had come all this way for.I felt a pang of sympathy for Andy, but Olivia wasn't as forgiving. Her eyes narrowed suspiciously as she challenged once more, "If you've been feeling so regretful, why didn't you come forward sooner?"Andy's gaze lowered to her shoes. "Mrs. Collins... she threatened me. She said she'd destroy me and my family if I ever double crossed her."I felt a twinge of sorrow for Andy, but Olivia was far from sympathetic. "And so you chose to destroy Emma's life instead?" she shot back at her, Olivia's voice dripping with disgust."Olivia!" I warned, but she ignored me, her anger now fully unleashed. Seems Olivia and Alexander both had the exact same kind of anger issues."I want you to tell Alexander everything, Andy.

Maria asked, her voice filled with curiosity.I turned to Andy and realized that in the midst of my worries, I had forgotten to introduce her properly. "Oh, Maria, this is Andy. She's a guest for today. Could you please show her to the Guestroom? And afterward, she can have a meal before returning home to her mother and kids."Maria nodded and smiled warmly at Andy. "Of course, Miss Emma. Miss Andy Please follow me."As Andy and Maria walked away, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude towards Andy. Despite everything that had happened, she had shown remorse for her actions and had taken the initiative to rectify her mistakes by revealing the truth to Alexander. A few minutes later, Andy return

Sleep finally embraced me, carrying me away from the pain and uncertainty that plagued me.The next morning brought a heavy atmosphere to the dining table . Alexander , sensing the tension , attempted to lighten the mood by cracking a few jokes, addressing both Olivia and me. "Wow, what's going on today. What happened to being all smiles in the morning?

"Emma, my love, I understand that you're scared and feeling unworthy. But please believe me when I say that these thoughts are not true. They're the product of the emotional rollercoaster caused by the pregnancy hormones. You are not a bad wife, and I have never seen you as anything less than perfect."His words resonated deep within me, slowly unraveling the tangled web of insecurities that had clouded my mind. I looked into Alexander's eyes, searching for any hint of deception once more, but found only sincerity and love."You mean that?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper. "You truly believe that I'm the best wife in the world?"A small smile tugged at the corners of Alexander's lips as he took my trembling hands in his. "Emma, you are more than I ever dreamed of.

I've made many mistakes, in my life but the greatest of all was neglecting them. Making them live their lives like my little puppets. I want them to know how much I love them."She sat back on the bench and let out a huge depressed sigh. I wondered how many mistakes she had made to make Alexander and Olivia be so mad at her.As we sat quietly on the bench Mrs Collins and I, a question burned within me. I mustered up the courage to ask, "Mrs Collins, may I ask why you were this way with your children. I do not want to seem intrusive but, we're your parents the same way with you?"Mrs Collins sighed, a mix of sorrow and regret on her face. She turned to me and said, "Emma, I wish to tell you a story. Do you wanna hear it?" She asked and I nodded gently."
