The Suprise

I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "I've been so tired, I really haven’t thought about it. So, what are you thinking?"He hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Okay, I just think we should get married. Soon."I raised an eyebrow. "I know that.""But given your condition, I don’t want to stress you out with everything else," he said, carefully watching me."Yes, I know. That’s why I’m saying let’s forget about having a big party and a whole thing," I explained. "I want this baby to be born while we’re already legally married. So, let’s just get married, now. Today, tomorrow—let's just do it. We don’t have to have a party, we don’t have to invite anyone except our witnesses, of course. But come on, let’s just get married."Emerson’s lips parted slightly like he wasn’t expecting me to say that. "But… what about the wedding you wanted? I know. You were excited about our wedding. You had already planned everything."His gaze fixed on me, searching for my reaction."I know," I a

The Announcement

Emerson had spoiled me endlessly during our little honeymoon. Though it was just two days—technically only one full day before we had to return—it was everything I could have asked for. Just us. No distractions. No stress. Pure happiness.And the sex... Nothing intense but still, you get the picture.As we drove back home, Emerson glanced at me with a smirk.“I already called Tina. Told her we were on our way. She said everyone has already arrived, so they’re all waiting for us.”I sighed. “Ah, okay.”I wasn’t sure how I felt. Excited? Nervous? Overwhelmed?“We shouldn’t—” I hesitated. “I’m kind of not in the mood.”“Don’t be.” Emerson reached for my hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. “Tina’s been so excited about this. Even if you're exhausted, even if it doesn’t match our wedding excitement, just act excited, okay?”I chuckled. “Okay, Emerson. I’ll try.”As soon as we pulled into the driveway, the front door burst open.Tina.She practically flew toward us, her face lighting up.

The Target

“I… I don’t feel so good,” Trey mumbled again, rubbing his stomach.Emerson, who had been watching the scene, raised an eyebrow. “Maybe you shouldn’t have come to the party if you weren’t feeling well, Trey.”Before he could finish his sentence— Trey gagged. And then, it happened. Right there at the table.Trey vomited.People shot up from their seats, stumbling away. The laughter and celebration turned into gasps of shock.I stared, my pudding forgotten in my hands.Trey’s face was pale. He looked absolutely miserable.“I… I really don’t feel so good,” he groaned, sweating profusely.Tina rushed to his side. “Oh my God.” She placed a hand on his forehead and gasped. “You’re burning up!”Panic flickered in her eyes as she turned to the group. “Should we call an ambulance? We should rush him to the hospital!”She was already on the verge of freaking out.I suddenly felt strange. Like I was floating on a cloud.Voices blurred around me. My vision swayed.It wasn’t until I heard Emerson’

Emmerson - Lockdown

EmmersonI don’t think twice. I scoop Mina into my arms and carry her toward the front of the house, my heart hammering in my chest. She’s barely conscious.Behind me, Thomas and Jason haul Trey, each taking one of his arms as he stumbles forward. Tina follows closely, her voice frantic, but I don’t stop to listen. The rest of the party trails after us, murmurs of fear and confusion in the air.By the time we reach the front, the ambulance is already there. But there’s only one.Damn it. There’s no time to wait for another. We have to make do.I step into the ambulance first, gently placing Mina onto the stretcher. Thomas and an ambulance nurse help get Trey inside, settling him onto the bench along the side. I barely glance at him. My focus is on Mina—on her pale face.Tina tries to climb in, but I stop her, stepping out before she can get past me.I lock eyes with Thomas, my voice sharp.“Nobody leaves this estate. Not a single person at this party leaves until I find out what happe

Emmerson - The Poison

EmmersonMina was in and out of it, but by the next morning, luckily, she woke up. She was totally disoriented, her face scrunched up in pain, but the moment I saw her eyes open, relief crashed over me I immediately ran to the doctor, who came in and explained everything to her slowly. I watched her carefully, knowing exactly when her mind caught up with what they were saying. The moment they mentioned the baby, her entire body tensed in fear.She freaked out. Her eyes welled up, panic overtaking her pain.But the doctors reassured her. They told her that she and the baby were fine, but she would have to stay at the hospital for further monitoring. They needed to make sure the poison hadn’t caused any long-term effects on her or our unborn child.Mina broke down, tears streaming down her face.I hated seeing her cry. I leaned in, took her trembling hand in mine, and whispered, “You have to be strong, baby. You’re body

Emmerson - Why

Mina rested her hand gently on her stomach, the other reaching for mine. Her fingers were warm and comforting, but the pain in her eyes still lingered."Please, Emerson, don’t blame yourself for this, okay?" she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "I didn’t know it could have happened, and you didn’t know it either."I shook my head, frustrated with myself. "I know, but I was just so surprised... I knew she didn’t like you, then all of a sudden, you came back, and she was all over you, pretending to care, acting like she was so happy about the baby. It should have been a red flag, but I didn’t know that. I didn’t know at the time, but I should’ve looked into it. I could have lost you if that idiot Trey hadn’t eaten your pudding."Mina’s expression softened as she reached up, cupping my cheek gently. "It’s okay," she said, her voice steady but filled with warmth. "I’m here, we’re here, the baby’s here. I just hope that we can be fine."

Then Who

Emerson sighs. I can see that he doesn't want to take me to see Rose, but he relents as he tells the driver to take us to the police station.We reach there, and Emerson goes through all the procedures, talking to the police and everything until we are given a chance to talk to her. I sit there waiting for them to take her to a room so I can see her, but after a while, the police officer—the detective working on the case—comes in and says that Rose doesn’t want to see me."Well, I want to see her," I tell him. "I want this."The detective exhales. "We’re already going out of our way. You aren’t even allowed to see her. We’re breaking protocol letting you see her, so if she doesn’t want to see you, we can’t force her."I look towards Emerson, who is standing beside me. "I want to talk to Rose," I tell him again, my voice firm.He sighs, then turns to the detective. "Detective, can we talk for a minute outside, please?"The detective looks at me, then at Emerson, before nodding and step

You Know Why

Rose starts laughing again, the sound hollow and sharp."Even if I tell you, you're not going to believe me.""Why wouldn’t I believe you?""Because I already told the police. I already told Tom. I told everybody. But nobody listens to me.""Tell me. I'll listen." I say calmly."Really?" She tilts her head, her eyes narrowing. "So I just tell you and then what? You don’t have any evidence against them. All the evidence points to me, doesn’t it? I’m going down for this.""Just tell me. Okay? Stop going around in circles. If you didn't do it and you know who did it, just tell me who did it."Rose’s eyes meet mine, dark and unreadable."You know what I can't believe, Mina?" Rose’s voice is sharp, her eyes burning. "It’s the fact that I actually saved your fucking life. And instead of being grateful, instead of thanking me for saving your life, I ended up in jail...."I swallow, my throat dry."I think the only reason I’m here is actually because I fucking saved you. If I had let you fini

I Don't Believe You

"Yes, Mina. Yes, yes, yes," Rose hisses, leaning forward. "You know that Madeline hates you. She hates you more than anybody else in the world. Her hatred for you burns—it’s an inferno. Nothing can ever tame it. She hates you like I have never seen before. That’s how much she hates you."I clench my fists. "Now you’re trying to destroy my home, my family. After trying to kill me, now you’re going to try to destroy my home?" My voice trembles, my mind racing. "Madeline has been there for years. She has never done this. You just want to get in my head and alienate me from people who care. Why? Just because I’m not with Eric anymore? Because I’m dating Emerson now? That’s why she suddenly wants to kill me?" I shake my head. "I’m pregnant. I’m carrying Emerson’s baby. If she wanted to kill me, she had all the chances to. Why would she want to kill me now?"Rose scoffs. "Oh, I see. I must be lying to you, right? That’s what you think? After all, I want nothing good for you. All I want is

It Can't Be

I shake my head. "Excuse me? You're wrong. Madeline and Emerson? No.... They can’t—he would have told me."Rose gives me a knowing look. "Would he, really?" She raises an eyebrow. "Do you realize how weird that would be? ‘Oh hey, honey, by the way, I was sleeping with the woman who works in my house before I decided to propose to you.’ Yeah, that would go over well."I shake my head again, more forcefully this time. "No. It can't be."She exhales sharply. "It is what happened. Why don’t you ask Madeline? Or better yet, ask Emerson. I’m sure one of them will fess up and tell you the truth."I feel my world tilting, my mind racing. This is too much. It doesn’t make sense. I keep thinking about Emerson. I keep thinking about Madeline. There were no signs. I would have seen something...I swallow hard. "It can’t be right."But a nagging voice in my head whispers—Would Emerson lie to me about something this big?Because if it is true, then I already know why Madeline would want me dead.R
