The Echoes Of Betrayal: Love Reborn Chapter Twenty Five
“Why are you all so shocked to see me, ain't you happy”, she opened her arms as she spoke. Riley quickly rose from her seat and ran towards her father, hiding behind his back, as if she was scared. “ What are you doing here”, Liam spoke with a fierce gesture as he snarled. “Calm down sweetie, that's not a way to welcome your love home”, Camilla said as a mischievous smile played on her lips. She turned her gaze and looked at Riley, who was hiding behind Liam. “ Riley, come here baby, ain't you happy to see mummy”, she spread out her arms, reaching out for a hug. “Why are you here, you haven't answered my question”, Liam's voice took on a sharper edge. “ Go back to where you're from, we don't need you”, Riley sobbed out the words. “Riley baby, that's not a way to behave with your mother, didn't daddy teach you any manners”, she said with a low, menacing tone as she slowly bit her lips. “Why are you here Camilla”, Liam spoke with a voice filled with rage. Camilla's gaze Lingered

“No matter what, I won't let you go, you are mine, and only mine Liam”, she delivered the statement with unwavering faith. She turned her gaze and looked at me, “And you miss whatever, start counting your days in this house, because I am going to make sure you leave. She stared back and forth from me and Liam, “expect me here anytime soon”, she said as she turned away and left. As soon as I watched her step out, l released a sigh of relief as I leaned on the table for support. Liam stared at me without saying a word. “Are you scared Emily?”he broke the silence. I firmly shook my head “no”. “ Don't worry Liam, I am okay”, I was trembling inside but I decided to keep my cool. “I will make sure nothing happens to you Emily, Camilla is a cunning lady, she likes playing dirty but this time round I won't let her win”,Liam said, with a hint of concern in his tone. “Why does Riley hate her too, even if she is cunning she could at least be good to her daughter right?”. “She exce

Liam glanced at the caller Id, “How do you know it's Harrison, the id is anonymous”.“He called me yesterday using this same number, I remember it”.We stared at each other without saying a word as we stared at the phone ringing. “Answer it”, Liam said, as he stared right into my eyes. “ No..no..!, I stammered, I don't want anything to do with Harrison anymore, am sure he is upto no good now”.“Just listen to what he has to say”, Liam insisted. I went silent for a moment, and then answered the call. I turned on the loudspeaker. “Hello sweetheart”, Harrison's voice pierced through the phone. I turned my gaze and looked at Liam, who was already staring at me. I didn't talk back. “Baby, please talk to me, I know you're mad at me but please, talk to me at least once”, he begged. I quickly hung up the call, clearly surprised at how Harrison was acting sweet towards me. Liam stared at me, with questioning eyes, you could clearly see it in his eyes that he was wondering what was going o

As I stood at the stairway, my gaze fell upon a man who was seated talking to Mr. Liam. I slowly stepped down the stairs, trying to get a clear image of who it was, but I couldn't seem to identify the person because he was facing in a different direction.Mr. Liam's gaze lingered and fell upon me, “Emily, please come, your friend wants to see you, he has been waiting for long”, he said with a bright smile on his face. I moved closer to them. The man turned and looked towards my direction. My jaw dropped and my eyes widened in shock as I looked at the man. It was Harrison. My heart skipped like it was about to jump out of my chest. My breath came in ragged panicked gasps. Liam’s face scrunched up in confusion as he stared at me, “Emily, are you okay”, Liam asked as he tilted his head, his eyes squinting in puzzlement.I stood still, unmoving like a statue locked in a frozen pose. It was like my world had been put on a pause. “Emily, you're welcome, please come and have a seat”. Harr

After a moment of staring at me, Harrison suddenly broke his silence. “Mia, Mia, where is Mia, I want to see Mia”, he stammered. Liam got his phone and dialed. “ Hello security, Please come in, we have an intruder. Okay, thank you”. He spoke. Harrison turned his gaze and looked at Liam, he folded his hands and pleaded. “Please Sir, please let me see my daughter just once, I am begging you please”.I looked at him and smirked, then turned away to leave. I kept hearing murmurs of him begging as I proceeded to my room. Nora jogged behind me too. She slammed the door shut as soon as we reached the bedroom. “Emily…..”, Nora said as she put her hands on my shoulder. I slowly placed my hand on hers, a gentle whispered connection. “It's okay”, I murmured. “Emily..!”, Liam's voice vibrated through the room. “Can I come in”, he said. “Yes please, come in”.“ Emily, I think I should leave now”, Nora said as soon as Liam entered the room. I nodded my head in acceptance. “Emily, are you okay

“It's about your daddy”, I murmured softly. Mia looked at me straight in my eyes, as though trying to read through me, “Daddy”, she said surprisingly, “what's wrong with daddy?”, she asked curiously. Liam turned his gaze and looked at me, my whole body was trembling out of fear of what was to happen next, he slowly moved his hand and placed it on mine, as a way of comfort. “It's okay, let me talk to her”, Liam said. He turned his gaze and looked at Mia, who stood still, confused on what was going on. “ Umh, you know Mia, your daddy won't be coming back to live with you”, Liam said softly. “He and mummy are not together anymore, so you guys won't be able to ever live together again”, Liam spoke calmly and carefully. Even before Liam could finish what he was telling her, tears streamed down her face like she already knew. Mia turned her gaze and looked at me, like she wanted to hear the truth straight from my lips, “Mummy..”, she stammered, you could sense the fear in her voice.

“I am afraid to say this but her heart condition has become worse”, the doctor said. “Heart…!”, I exclaimed in surprise.“Wait…!doctor, I think you're mixing up results with another patient, "My daughter doesn't have any heart condition”, I stammered, my heart racing with anxiety. “Isn't your daughter's name Mia!”.“Yes Doctor, her name is Mia”.“Then that's the one I am talking about, wait..!, you didn't know about her heart condition”.My jaw dropped and my eyes widened in shock as I heard the doctor's words. My body felt weighed down by the crushing news. I stumbled back, trying to balance, a wave of weakness washed over my legs, leaving them trembling. “Doctor, can you please explain more”, Liam asked. “Mia has a very rare heart condition, Anxiety induced Cardiomyopathy, a condition where chronic anxiety and stress can lead to weakening of the heart muscle, which sometimes leads to heart failure”.“Doctor, just tell us, what is needed to treat her, don't worry about the treatm

In no time, the doctors ran past me towards Mia's room, the door shut right in front of me. My heart raced with anxiety and fear of what would happen next. “Mia! Mia”, a blood curdling scream escaped my lips, echoing through the hospital corridor. I quickly ran towards the doorway, trying to budge in but the doctors couldn't let me in. “Emily, Please calm down”, Nora tried to console me, but it was all in vain. “Please Emily, Mia will be okay”.“No! No! Mia!”, I spoke in hushed tones. I acted like I was going crazy, like my brain was short circuiting. “Emily, what has happened”, Liam came running. As soon as my gaze fell on him, I felt overwhelmed by my grief and I burst out crying, great sobs racking my body. “Li…a…m!, Lia.. m!”, I stammered, words barely audible through my sobs. “Mi..a!”, I stuttered as I pointed towards the ICU, where Mia was being treated from. “Sshhhhhh!, I am here now Emily, I won't let anything happen to Mia, I promise”, he said as he pulled me closer, pla

“What is it about Emily, why are you staring like that?”, Liam asked curiously.I stared into space for a moment, “Harrison really has the nerves”, I bit my teeth in anger as I spoke. Liam snatched the paper out of my hands, running his eyes through it. “This man is really crazy”, he uttered. How could he think of filing for Mia's custody after everything he has done”.“Harrison really has the nerves”, I exclaimed in dismay. “Even before Mia is well, what kind of father is he!”.“Don't worry Emily, how could he even think he can get Mia's custody, that will never happen, because I can never let him take Mia away from you”. Liam's voice laced with outrage as he spoke. “I am here for you Emily, you're not alone, and I will make sure you win this case, for that I promise”.I gazed at Liam in awe, wondering how he managed to maintain his kindness towards me, even after the hurt I had caused him in the past few days. I studied his face, searching for any sign of resentment but all I saw w

“I think Mia is doing okay now, her condition is not life threatening, thank you Mia, for fighting hard”, the doctor said with a playful tone. “ Thank you so much doctor, nothing could have been possible without your help, but I have a request”, Liam spoke. “What is it Mr. Grant”.“I would like to take Mia home today, you can give me a nurse to stay over, I will cover all the bills”.“Okay Mr. Grant, as you say, let me go and complete the paperwork. I will be back in no time”.“Okay doctor, I will be waiting”.“Where do you think you're going, Emily?” Harrison said as soon as the doctor stepped out. “I am going home Sir, any problem”, I shot back. “I don't care where you go, you are not taking Mia with you”, his voice took on a sharper edge. I fiercely looked into his eyes, and smirked, as though what he just said was a joke. “Do you suffer from memory loss or what?”, I uttered. “Since when did you start loving Mia”.“Mia is my daughter, why wouldn't I love her”.I let out a low

Harrison darted his gaze back and forth at Mia and me, “uhmm, what do you mean baby”, he stammered. “Exactly what you heard, I am my mother's daughter, only her's”, Mia said firmly, without a hint of fear in her voice. “Mia”, I hurriedly called her name, urgency in my voice. She slowly shifted her gaze towards me, “What is it mummy?, am I saying anything wrong”, she proceeded. “What kind of nonsense did you feed into my daughter”, Harrison said as he slowly moved his head, gazing into my direction, “I am the one talking to you, why are you looking at her”, Mia spoke confidently. I stared at Mia with an unrelenting gaze, astonished by the courage she had at just 10 years old. Her bold and daring attitude was way more than her age. As I watched the fearlessness in her eyes, tears pricked at the corner of my eyes as I wondered how much Mia had matured, even at such a young age. “Since when did you start talking to me like that dear, look I am your father”, Harrison c

“Mia… Mia..!”I stammered, my heart was racing, making it hard to get my words out. “Yes mummy”, She proceeded. “Right from the time we were still with daddy, I always knew he didn't like us. But I didn't want to show it in front of you, I knew how much you indured everything for me, I couldn't shatter you by the fact that I knew anything”. As I listened to her, tears began to fall. But I was so absorbed in the moment, I couldn't wipe them away. I couldn't believe it was Mia who spilled out such thoughtful and mature words at such a young age. “Mia..!”, I murmured, as tears rolled down my cheeks. “I am a grown up woman now, please don't do anything wrong for my sake mama, especially not going back to Harrison”, her tone became more urgent as she spoke. “ Baby..! “, since when…… ?”, “Since the day I got you crying on the floor, even though you tried hiding it so well, I knew something was certainly wrong”. My gaze glued on her, my eyes fixed on her in utter disbelief. “Ba

A warm smile spread across Mia's face as her eyes sparkled. Her face glowed with happiness, a look of pure delight flashed across her face. “Really mummy, she said excitedly”.“ Yes baby”, I replied as I smiled widely. “He is just out, he will be here any minute, I am sure you missed him so much”.“Yes mummy I… ..!”. Mia's words were cut short by a knock on the door. We both turned our gaze towards the door, “Hello Princess…!”It was Harrison. He steadily walked closer with his arms spread wide open ready for a hug. “I missed you so much my baby”, Harrison said as he gave Mia a hug. Tears started to well up in Mia's eyes as she hugged her father, she slowly pulled back, and wiped the tears that were threatening to fall. “What is it Mia?, why are you crying?”Harrison asked as he slowly wiped Mia's tears. Mia smiled amidst her sobs. “Nothing Dad, I just missed you”, she whispered. “I am here now baby, I will never leave you again love, I promise”.Tears of joy pricked at the corner o

I stood still, staring at Nora as she disappeared into space. “I am not sorry”, I whispered, trying to convince myself. “ Don't you worry about anyone else, I am right here Emily”, Harrison said as he placed his hands on my shoulder. I flinched a bit, responding to his touch. “I am okay”, I whispered barely above my sobs. Suddenly the phone rang, it was Harrison's phone. His gaze flicked over the phone, then away, as if unsure what to do. “Excuse me Emily, let me take this call”. He said as he cupped his phone over the phone, muffling the conversation as he moved away. I hesitated and then slowly sat down as if unsure. I thought back to the fact that I had chose Harrison over Liam and Nora, my best friend, and the pain I had caused her by going back to Harrison. “I am sorry Nora, Please forgive me, but I had to do this, for Mia”, I whispered to myself, as tears flowed down uncontrollably. It was a difficult decision for me but I had to do it, for Mia. I had lost Nora's trust

I stared at him with unrelenting focus. “Why are you staring at me like that Emily”, he asked, confusion etched on his face. “I need to make some things clear to you, before you get your expectations high”, I stated, my voice low and serious. “I am only getting back to you because of Mia, the doctor said she should avoid stress”, I said as I darted my gaze away. “Whatever the reason is, I don't care Emily, as long as your back, that's what matters to me”.He moved closer and placed his hands on my shoulders. “Trust me Emily”, he whispered. “I will do everything so that we go back to how we were”. “Just forget about that”, I murmured. “Haaa…”, he exclaimed. “Nothing”, let's go see Mia's condition”. I said as I turned away, ready to leave. Harrison followed closely behind me. ************************* As we approached Nora, I saw her expression change even before we reached her, I noticed it even from a distance. As we finally got closer to her, her eyes flashed with a fierc

Liam stumbled backwards, his eyes darting between us as if searching for answers. I shifted my gaze at Harrison. “Are you done”, I asked softly. “Yes dear, I am done”, he said as he turned his gaze towards Liam, who stood stiff. “What are you two doing here alone, where is Nora?”, Harrison asked as he glanced around. “Who are you to ask”, Liam asked furiously. “Emily is my wife, we can talk about whatever we want”.“Emily is mine, she may be your wife now, but she was mine first, and I am going to take her back from you” “Don't be so sure”.“ Of course I am, right Emily”, Harrison said as he turned his gaze towards me. “Can you both stop this, you're not kids anymore”, I said, my tone firm and fed up. “Emily, you should ask your fake husband to shut up”, Harrison said as he pointed a finger at Liam. My eyebrows shot up in surprise, and I shot a glance at Liam. His face lit with surprise too, he gazed at me continuously, and let out a sigh of disbelief. “ Emily, don't tell me you

Liam locked his gaze on me, for a moment without saying a word. “Why are you just staring at me, I thought we had come to talk”, I murmured softly, maintaining my gaze. “Yes, there are some things I want us to talk about”, he said firmly as he moved closer to me. “I want us to talk about our marriage”. My eyebrows knitted together as I tried to understand. “Wait, what do you mean?”I asked curiously. He slowly lifted his hands and placed them on my shoulder.“ Emily, I am talking about our marriage, me and you”, his tone turned cold, more serious and scary. “L..iam”, I stammered. “Are you talking about the marriage we all know is fake?”, my voice trembled as I spoke. “To you it may be fake, but to me… !”, he paused for a minute before continuing. “To me it's not”, he spoke, his voice filled with vulnerability. “L…iam”. “Yes Emily, So please don't abandon me for Harrison, please Emily, I need you too, Emily please”, he begged. His words washed over me, leaving me breathless
