MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW /JacqueAuthor
"I tried to talk to her," Rose continues, her voice filled with regret. "I tried to tell her to forget about it. You were pregnant now. The two of you were planning to get married. After the pregnancy, Emerson was clearly taken by you. He was in love with you, and it was so obvious. He doted on you. You were so happy, and there was no question about the two of you being in love, about being a family."She pauses, looking down at her hands as if replaying the events in her mind."I tried to tell Madeline to see that. I tried to tell her to give up on this competition with you. I tried to tell her to forget about Emerson. He obviously didn’t love her. I mean, if they had been dating all those years, and he’d never shown her how he felt about her, then he probably didn’t feel for her that way."I try to process her words, but a knot tightens in my stomach."She wouldn’t understand," Rose murmurs. "And that’s one of the reasons she started shutting me off. I kept telling her that she shou

She lets out a long sigh. "So I went back into the kitchen to find the pudding. I met the waitress who needed help at the back of the house. I showed her where everything was, and when I came back inside… the pudding was gone...I thought maybe someone else had taken it."I nod slowly, the realization settling deeper within me. “That must have been when Treyson arrived and had taken it,” I tell her, my voice steady but shaking inside.“Yes, it must have been,” Rose agrees, her eyes wide. “But I didn’t know that at the time. So, I started rushing outside, thinking that you had already eaten it. And then I find you, you know, eating the pudding. I don’t even think about it. I just flash towards you and throw the ball away..."" And then you tell me not to eat it.”“Did I say that?” she asks, surprised.I nod, her face pained as she continues. “Yeah, maybe I did. But I don’t remember saying that either. I was just so focused on

I can't believe this, but I know that it is true. It had all been right there, right in front of my face. Madeline's love for Emerson was so obvious. And her hatred for me. There were so many times she showed me how she hated me. But I chose to ignore that. I chose to ignore the things that I hated about her. The things that irritated me about her. I chose to solve it to feel good. I chose to try and find a relationship with her. Because my relationship with my mother was dead. So I tried finding it in this woman. This person I thought I knew. She had shown her disdain for me from the start, And when she wanted to hush things down with me, I was so happy. I felt like I had gotten my mom back.But when I was thinking that, this woman was planning my death. She was planning my downfall. Mine. And she didn't even care about this baby. This poor baby hadn't done anything towards her. She is dangerous. Who does that? Who hates you so much and smiles on your f

"What?" Emerson asks his voice tight with confusion.But I don't back down. "I asked you, Emerson," I say, my voice firm. "Have you been sleeping with Madeline? Have you been sleeping with her the whole time I was at the estate? Has this all been some kind of game? Some kind of—""What the hell are you talking about?" he interrupts, his voice rising with frustration. "What has Rose been telling you?"And then, I see it. The flicker of something in his eyes. A hesitation. "I knew this was not a good idea," he mutters under his breath.I let out a bitter laugh. "Oh, I think it was a marvellous idea. I think this was the best decision I could have made for our relationship.""Why are you even saying all this?" he asks, rubbing his forehead as if I'm the one exhausting him."Emerson," I say slowly, deliberately. "You haven't answered my question. Tell me—have you been sleeping with Madeline?"His jaw tightens. "No, I have not been sleeping with Madeline.""Okay, then did you?" I press. "

"Okay, look, Mina," Emerson starts, his voice softer now, but still laced with hesitation. "I know that Madeline is attracted to me. I know she has this... thing for me. She used to think that we could become more, but I was always honest with her. I told her that nothing could ever happen between us."I cross my arms, staring at him. He’s still avoiding the real answer.He sighs. "I know she can be a little... intense sometimes. But she's not dangerous. Come on, Mina, you've known her for years. I've known her for years. She’s never done anything crazy before. To try and kill you? That’s just too much, don’t you think?"I nod, my throat tightening. "I know," I admit. "That’s why it was so hard for me to accept at first. But then Rose made sense. There is something there. There’s a reason I didn’t believe it wasn't Rose in the first place. There’s something about Madeline that’s off."His jaw clenches. "So... you do believe that it was Madeline who did this?"I look him in the eyes. "

"Like I said, it happened a long time ago. Eric was probably nine or ten, I think. I don't really remember," Emerson says, his voice low and measured, like he's treading carefully.I sit there, staring at him, waiting for him to continue."Like I told you, when Eric’s mom left, we got closer. We used to have these nightcaps sometimes. We would drink—maybe a cup of coffee or a glass of wine or whiskey in the evening. Sometimes, when I had a rough day at work, getting the company out there…" He pauses, running a hand through his hair. "So that day, as we normally did, we had a glass of whiskey. And then another and I lost track of what happened that night."I swallow hard. My hands curl into fists on my lap. "What are you trying to say?"He finally looks at me. "I'm telling you the truth. I don't know what happened." He exhales sharply. "I just woke up in bed with Madeline there beside me. We were both naked."The words land like a slap. My

"So, what do you want me to do, Mina?" Emerson asks, his voice tight with frustration. "What would you have me do when you say you don't want to go back home?"I take a deep breath, trying to keep my emotions in check. "For starters, you can start investigating her," I say firmly. "Find out if these allegations are true. Because if this poor girl is inside there and she didn’t do this, it’s not fair. She's still young. She still has a bright future ahead of her."" It’s not right to accuse someone if we don’t have all the facts." He stares at me, his expression conflicted. "And what if Madeline didn’t do it? What if we go accusing Madeline of all of this, and she had nothing to do with it? Think about how she’s been there for me, for you, for our family. She’s practically family now. If we accuse her of this, what will happen?"I shake my head. "So what do you want me to do? Go back into that house with a woman who wants to kill me?"

EmmersonI made my way toward the hospital, still trying to call Eric, but he wasn’t picking up. Frustration tightened my grip on the phone as I dialled again. Nothing.I had no choice. I instructed Tom to use his people to track him down. It didn’t take long before they confirmed his location—he was at home. Just sitting there. Ignoring my calls.I exhaled sharply and changed direction, instructing the driver to take me to his house instead. As we pulled up, I noticed how dark and lifeless the place seemed. The entire house was pitch black. Not a single light on.A cold feeling settled in my chest.I stepped out of the car and made my way inside, calling his name. "Eric!"No answer. I tried again, louder this time. Still nothing.A bad feeling crept over me as I moved further inside. The silence was too thick as I headed to the master bedroom.And that’s where I found him.Slumped against the bed, a half-empty bottle of whiskey dangling from his fingers. The room reeked of alcohol.

EmmersonI exhaled sharply, my patience thinning. “Let’s just go inside.”Without another word, I turned and walked back into the room. Eric followed behind me.The moment Rita saw him, her entire face lit up.“Eric,” she called softly, reaching for him.He forced a smile and moved toward her, taking her hand in his.Kristen was the one holding the baby. I turned to her. “Can I hold him?”She hesitated for a second before nodding and carefully placing the tiny bundle in my arms.The baby was small but chubby, wrapped snugly in a white hospital blanket. His face was peaceful, his tiny hands curled into fists. He was an adorable little thing, though, like most newborns, he had that same squishy, undefined look.I realized then that we had all held the baby before Eric had. The baby's father.“Eric,” I said, shifting the baby slightly. “Come take a look at your son.”He stepped closer, peering at the Babby. For a moment, I thought he was going to take him into his arms. But he didn’t.H

Mina"Emmerson," I asked again the figure at the door, hoping more than anything that Emmerson answered.But Something felt wrong. A prickle ran down my spine. As I sat upright, trying to shake off the feeling, the person at the door walked toward me. My instincts screamed at me to move, to get up and run—but before I could, they were already on me.Strong. Overpowering.A forceful shove sent me back onto the bed. Panic ran through me, but before I could react, something soft and heavy pressed down against my face—a pillow. I gasped, but no air came. I struggled, flailing my arms, trying to claw at the hands pinning me down. My fingers grasped at nothing.The suffocation was instant.I didn’t know what they had put on the pillow, but it was making it worse. My lungs screamed for oxygen, my body bucking as I fought against the weight crushing me. I twisted, but my hands were suddenly pinned together. A rough sensation—something tight—wrapped around my wrists.This was it. This person w
