At that point, Emily knew they were up to something, Elise would never offer to do something nice for her without taking something bigger in return. “Sister, pregnancy is a big deal, you don't have to do it alone, I want to be here for you” Elise words sounded alien to Emily's ear, Elise would never be intentionally nice to her. “Sister in-law, I think that's a really good idea, it'd be better to have someone by your side especially family.” Angelica said. “Family??” Emily laughed sarcastically.“I don't think my husband would be comfortable with that.” she said maintaining eye contact with Brian. “W…well” Brian stuttered. “That's fine, if you're okay with it” he said, immediately feeling uncomfortable. “Sister, I know we have our bad sides, but this is for your own good” Elise lifted the corner of her mouth in a sly smile. A part of Emily wanted to believe her “maybe she's trying to make amend” she thought… “Okay” she said “I'll
It was morning, Emily was woken by the sounds of the birds chirping outside, the fresh smell of the morning breeze was invigorating and refreshing. As she sat on her bad, she reminisced about everything that has happened in the past few days, from finally meeting Brian, to the wedding, everything just felt so unreal. For the past few months, she had been struggling with finding Brian, loosing her job and trying to fend for herself. She used to work at a law firm and was paid two hundred yhuan monthly, she was okay with her job and had saved so much money before loosing her job. She had always thought about owning her own fashion brand and was on the go to start one when she found out she was pregnant and after meeting Brian, her now husband, which she had signed a contract to not work as long as she's still pregnant, she had to postpone her dreams till she puts to bed. The smell of freshly cooked pasta and chicken sauce enveloping the whole room, bringing Emily who has
Brian got back from work and found Emily at the courtyard, ravishing as always, he stopped and stared from a distance, it hasn't been long since they met each other, but something about her brings peace to his heart whenever they were together. He recalled the doctor telling him that the only way he could heal, is by finding peace in a person. “Could she be the one?” He thought; but the doctor also told him that the person leaving him in the future would only make things worse. So he had always tried his best to completely stay away from people, but with Emily it was different, she was different, the way she talks, the way she acts, it all felt different to Brian. Emily noticed he was staring and waved from the distance. “Hey, you're back from work” “Yeah, I uhm just got back,___ I'll be heading to my room now” he was about to leave but he immediately remembered something. “I checked in with the doctor, he said you haven't been coming around for
It was morning, Emily was awake, standing in front of her wardrobe, trying to pick an outfit to wear to the hospital. She was going with Brian, so she wanted to wear something casual but classy. She searched through her wardrobe but found nothing that was pleasing to her eyes. Just then Elise walked in, “hey sis, looking for something” “Not really, I'll be fine” Emily replied. “Sis, I've said sorry so many times, but it seems like you hate me already” “Elise, I don't hate you” “You do sis, you barely talk to me, I truly am sorry for everything that has happened in the past, and I want things to work out between us for real” Elise sounded really convincing. “Elise I hold no grudge against you, you're my sister after all” Emily let out a faint smile. “ Okay sis, then let me pick a dress for you” “Okay Elise, I didn't want to bother you, but if you insist, I can't seem to find anyone I like anyways” Emily sat in silence and watched Elise se
"Sis it's okay, thank goodness you are okay, these servants are just so incompetent" " it's okay Elise, it was probably a mistake" Emily replied. "a mistakes sis, that almost took your life" "Elise I said it's fine" Emily said paranoid at this point she sat on the dining chair. " okay sis, I'm just looking out for you" Elise sat on the seat too, and there was a long awkward silence. After taking few bites from her food " can we go now?" Emily said looking at Brian who didn't seem interested in the food too. " sure" he replied as they both stood up leaving Elise behind at the table. Outside at the parking lots, Brian open the car door Emily. " Scott is on an errand, so I'll be driving today" " okay" Emily replied. She got into the car, and Brian started the ride. After a long silence Emily decided to say something. "( she clears her throat) thanks for saving me back there, if you hadn't held me
Brian wasn't ready for that conversation, but looking at Emily, he could tell that she was not ready to let him be either. “Okay Emily, I wouldn't call it a mental disorder, it's not even that serious, it's just that, being around people suffocate me, people make me uncomfortable, that's all, not that serious” “No Brian, it is that serious, I read about it and it shows that people with SPD (schizoid personality disorder) has really high chance of suffering from depression, not being able to navigate your emotions is that serious, and you go through all this by yourself” Brian could feel the sincerity in Emily's voice, no one has ever talk to him with so much concern. “You don't need to worry about me Emily, I'm fine, you should worry about yourself and the baby” “But Brian you don't…..” “We should go now” Brian said as he immediately started the car. A long silence followed, Brian noticed that Emily was slightly hurt because he shut her u
Emily got home and met Elise at the dining table having dinner, “Sis how are you doing, I've been looking everywhere for you” Elise asked. “I went to see the …. the … doctor, (shaking her head as if looking for words to say), I forgot my meds at the hospital yesterday, so I went to pick it up” “But I don't see any meds with you” Elise asked again. “My meds, oh my, I must have left it in the ride, I'll just ask Dr Tanker to deliver another one to the house” Emily replied as she walked upstairs while checking her phone pretending to call Dr Tanker's. “She's so weird,” Elise said as she continued eating her food. Emily showered and came downstairs in search of Nina, “Nina” she called out “where could she be” she checked the kitchen but she wasn't there, she went into the courtyard and she met Nina crocheting a vest. “Oh my gosh Nina, this is really nice” she said as she walked closer to Nina. Nina smiled and made way
Emily was surprised that Brian could call her, she wondered what he wanted to say, “ Hey” she said as she picked up.“Hi,” Brian's deep voice sounded from the other end. “I was in a hurry when I left for this business trip and I forgot to inform you, I'm letting you know, so you don't have to be worried about me” Brian voice was so deep yet soft and soothing. “It's okay, I understand, Nina already told me by the way” Emily thought about telling him about her meeting with the doctor, but she didn't want to ruin the moment. “Okay, I'll hang up now” Brian said and he hung up. Emily sat on her bed, she couldn't hold back her excitement. “What is wrong with me?” she said to herself. “I can't fall for him, this is strictly business” “This pregnancy is making me lose my mind I guess' ' she said as she entered the bathroom to go take a shower.******** It was morning, Emily was seated on her bed, she thought about calling Angelic
