She wouldn’t have expected this much crowd.“First, I will like to thank everyone for being here. If anyone had told me even a year ago that I would be here today, releasing my own book.

ONE YEAR LATER Emma adjusted the black gown she was wearing, putting her hair up in a bun. She moved closer to the mirror, applying a lipstick and a bit of foundation. She was never the type of girl who knew how to do a make-up so she did the little that she could, once every now and then. She put on her black heels, picked up her red purse to brighten the outfit. She walked out into the living room where her mum and sister were at."You look so beautiful darling," her mum said. "You really do," Helen added.Emma sat next to Helen on the dinning area. She had moved back home after the book reveal with her mum and Helen.They had moved away from their former apartment into a much nicer one. With the money Helen had gotten from the lawsuit and the fact that they had promoted her mum at work, they had more than enough.Although, most of the money Helen had gotten had gone into charity because she believed that was the best thing to do with the money, they still had some left."I

They are also the greatest literary duo.Despite the fact that She has never met them, She adores them because of the way they interact and communicate.

"Who is that in table 5?" Emma asked, focusing her gaze on the guy She had just spoken to."I don't know, this is the first time I am seeing him here.""Here."Mark passed Emma the coffee he had ordered for."Does someone have a crush?" Mark said teasingly.Emma smiled, picking up the order. "I haven't even known him for an hour.""Love works in mysterious ways, my dear," he said and Emma chuckled.As Emma moved over to table 5, She caught sight of the smile that welcomed me. "Thank you.""You're welcome," Emma was ready to leave when he handed me the pay. "Here."She checked in it and he had left a 100-dollar tip. No one leaves that much tip. "Thank you."She walked back to the counter after she had resisted staring into his eyes again and behaving like some freak. He was fine actually, She wouldn't deny that."He gave a 100dollar tip.""Wow, he probably likes you too.""Mark," Emma said, raising my eyebrows at him."But he seems old.""Why would you say that? He is so fine, prob

"I want us to talk about you," Helen smiled."My life is boring, yours is more interesting," Helen said. She wanted them to stop talking about her life because it made her understand the reality of all of it more, which she is afraid to face.Helen pulled Emma towards her, making her rest her head on her shoulder."What happened this time?"Helen hesitated for a bit, as memories of the night came flashing back in her head."He found out about my contraceptive pills, he was enraged, threw everything out, hit me till I fell on the floor crying."A tear slipped down Helen's cheeks, as she narrated what had happened.Emma raised her head looking at her sister's face lingering with sadness and fear. Emma's heart aches for her."I don't want to have a baby with him, I don't!!" Helen sobbed and Emma pulled her into a tight hug.Emma knew that all that Helen said about it being hard to leave was true. Their mum was already too exhausted from taking care of her alone and if Helen were to ret

"Are you journaling?" He asked, looking down at the book on Emma's legs."I am writing," She said and could see how confused Eric looked, so she added. "I am a writer.""Like Shakespeare?" He asked, raising his brows.Emma chuckled. He was like every other typical person, who saw writing as probably something mundane."Yes, like Shakespeare but I haven't quite gotten to Shakespeare's level yet though.""So, is this like a hobby or something?""I want it to be more than that. I want to make a living out of it one day. Sell thousands of copies of my books, be the best-selling author someday," Emma explained with so much excitement.Eric noticed how her eyes shone, as she spoke about it but then the glow was drained out in a few seconds as her face fell and she looked down at her book."What's wrong? You seem both excited and sad about it.""Because I have to write a book to be an author and I can't seem to even get past the first chapter.""It's going to get better," Eric said, unsure.

Eric stared at the notepad, on his bed as he scrolled through his phone. He was trying his best not to open it because he didn't know what might be in it.He picked it up from where he had kept it, staring at the cover. He eventually opened it without thinking, he was bored and exhausted from all that had happened in the day and just really needed to do something different. He turned the first page and even after the bold warning of "do not open" was written on it, he still went ahead to open it.He saw her first poem written on the second page and read it slowly, it was nice and he loved it. He sat up straight on his bed, turning the pages one after the other and reading them. He had completely forgotten about the warning at the beginning and how she would feel about it if she found out.He wanted to know all there was to know about Emma and the book with him was one way he knew he could.Emma hurried to the park once it was time for her break, she was hoping to find her notepad th

He didn't know what she must have come to say and even though he really didn't want to hear anything but she was still his mum regardless."Can I sit?" She asked after entering into the room."Sure," he said sitting on the edge of his bed.There was a bit of awkward silence as they both sat, staring at each other."I am sorry," she said and Eric turned to face her."Why did you do it?" Eric asked. "And please don't say to protect me again," His mum stayed quiet for a while before speaking. "I wanted you to get the position and I didn't mind doing anything to make you get it," His mum said."Even if it meant taking away the only person I have ever really loved?""I am sorry, I really hope you can forgive me.""If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't take this route and I would have made better decisions."Eric saw the sincerity in hi

He knew about the book being done and with the tension that had been between them for the past couple of days, he wasn't sure how to engage her.He and Emma hadn't really spoken about the fight they had the other day and had just continued on. No one wanted to bring it up and left to Eric, he felt it was all probably for the best.Emma made a sandwich and sat on the dinning table while Henry made a stair fry noodles."It all finally coming together. The book and everything I have always dreamt of," Emma said and Eric sat opposite her on the dinning table."You deserve everything and more. And I really feel this is only just the beginning of your happy ending." "A

"Thank you so much for this opportunity, it's been really nice," Emma said, after she and the publisher were done talking."You're an amazing writer and I really can't wait to see the great things you will achieve," he said."I don't regret moving all the way out here just for this book."He smiled "what do you mean by that?"Emma looked confused. "Henry said I needed to move out here before you will agree to help with the publishing," she explained.He was confused.

He didn't want to drive so he called on Alfred, his mum's driver."Alfred, please I will like to get to Emma's place. It's on my way to work," He said."Alright Sir,"He got into the car and as he was carried away with his phone, he suddenly remembered that he had not described the place to Alfred but Alfred was already at the house."I didn't describe this place to you, how did you get to know the place?" Eric asked confused as he and Alfred waited in the car before getting down.Alfred didn't know what to say. Lieing would have been his first option but he knew that no matter what he said, Eric was going to see through him."I brought your mum here," Alfred said and Eric looked confused."When was that?" He asked"Some couple of months ago.""What did she come to do?""I don't know sir but I think she came to see the girl."Eric's mind immediately went back to a couple of months ago and how Emma

Helen looked at Eric's facial expression. She knew he had been expecting a better response and she wished she had it for him."She liked you a lot," Helen said as she stared at him.Eric looked up from what he had been doing."She always talked about you. She wouldn't stop telling me about the cute guy she met. She said you were smart, nice and cool. She always looked forward to you meeting," Helen said smiling as she remembered all the days Emma spoke about Eric."She was so nervous to tell you how she felt. She wasn't sure that you felt the same and on the day you kissed her!! She wouldn't stop talking about it," Helen said and Eric smiled too as memories of He and Emma flooded his head again."I love her and I haven't even been able to say it to her. I hope it's not late because now it seems like there is nothing I can do,""I had never seen her so broken like the day she found out you were getting married. She was always so strong, always looked after everyone but herself and I re
