Taylor's eyes shone with surprise and shame. She wanted to teach her sister a lesson for messing with her in such a terrible way but Justin decided to disgrace her like that. “Are you calm now?” He asked her with an arched brow. “Do you need another one?”She stared confusedly at him. “What is the meaning of this? Justin, what is the meaning of this?! For other reasons, you can hit me, but not for this.” “Taylor, you're pregnant.” She squinted. “That I already know, why are you telling me?” Her brow subconsciously arched. Mable's jaw dropped. *You're pregnant?!”Both Taylor and Justin ignored her like she wasn't standing there. Justin continued. “What do you expect me to do? Have sex with you while you're carrying my baby? What if something happens to the baby?” “Justin,” Taylor scoffed a laugh. “I am pregnant, I am not dying! Besides, a pregnant woman needs to have sex too! It helps delivery become a little easier.”“You could get hurt!” He lashed out and she flinched at the ab
Justin's brow arched, his smile disappearing into the blink of an eye. He scoffed a laugh and buried his hands in the depth of his pocket. “You would like to call it quits after two months into the marriage? Months? Not years honey, months!” “Do you think I want to?” She asked him. “Oh so this is my fault?” He took a hand out of his pocket and pressed it on his chest as he asked her. “Yes, Justin!” She angrily responded. “You had sex with my biological sister!” She pointed at Mable as she lamented. “You told her you love her!”“She is a tool. That's all she is.” He plainly responded. “Oh, you mean a tool just like me?” Her brow arched. “Yeah, I'm tired of all these tools you keep talking about. I will no longer be your tool, Justin.” She stated firmly. “Oh trust me, you won't. For the next nine months at least. Sorry you're too months gone already so for the next seven months.” He walked towards the bed with one hand in his pocket as he talked. “What are you talking about?” Her
Andi woke up with a tired yawn. He had spent the entire night going through files about his company and only got a few hours of sleep. He went to the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee. Lucy was already there, making herself some warm tea to drink. She was putting on a small short and a white spaghetti arm singlet. Her bottom and thighs were revealed. Andi walked up to her and pressed himself against her while hugging her waist. “Good morning my love.” He muttered against her ear with a kiss. She smiled. “Morning. I thought to make you some tea to replenish your strength.” “How thoughtful of you. Thank you.” He kissed her cheek. “Did you sleep well?”“Next to you, I always sleep well.” She responded while turning the content of a cup with a small spoon. His hand trailed inside her singlet and caressed her soft small breast. “I'm glad to hear that. Likewise. Shouldn't you be resting up though?”“I'm fine. This tea will replenish the strength for all the sleep you missed out
The sound of a ceramic dish as it shattered against the wall echoed through the room as Sharon flung her plate out of annoyance. Andi flinched as his ear caught the sound of the plate that only missed his face by a hair and his heart almost seized. "What in the world is wrong with this useless animal?!" Sharon hollered as she sprung to her feet. Andi fell to his knees at once. "Mother, please I--"Before he could even complete his sentence, a spoon hit his face and he groaned. He hadn't even expected it. Fresh blood seeped from his bursted lips and his eyes ached but he dared not move an inch from the spot. Sharon Simmons, the wife of a well known millionaire, their names were known in almost every part of the city as they were one of the prominent families in Los Angeles. She was also the mother in law of Andi Emerson, he was married to her first daughter, Taylor. But Andi was despised by the entire family because he was a nobody and had nothing to call his own, not even a penn
Sharon frowned as she crossed her arms. "Did I ask you to kneel in the first place?" She arched her brow as she asked Andi. "So you're trying to turn my daughter's back against me now?!" "No ma'am! Not at all!" Andi responded. He rose to his feet and smiled at his wife. She was always his savior in situations like that and he would forever be grateful to her. "Mom, please don't be so hard on him. Dad asked me to gather everyone because he has an announcement to make and it's important." She said as she walked towards the dining table and sat down. The others went back to their seat but Andi remained where he was. Ever since he became poor, he didn't own a seat at the dining table anymore, he was meant to eat where no one would see him. "Don't be so nice to him sister, he's not worth anything at all, not even the slightest kindness. He's worse than that arrogant pet dog of yours." Mable said as she returned to her seat. The head of the Simmons family climbed down the stairs and jo
The Emerson family had been nothing but nice to each and every one of their acquaintances. Even though they were the family at the top of the pyramid of prominent people, they treated everyone with respect and care. Andi could remember how his parents always helped other people and assisted them whenever they needed aid, the Simmons included. Those who worshiped them only did it because of what it would yield for them, not because his family demanded worshiping from anyone.If truly those people were humans then they would be nice enough to be kind to him. Maybe if he went to the party, he would actually find help amongst a few of them. It was starting to sound as a not so bad idea and hopefully, it would be. Andi agreed to work the party, if not for anything but for his mother. He tried to remain positive until the day of the party, telling himself that it wouldn't be so bad. But as the day came, he wished for nothing more than the floor to open up and swallow him. When the part
["I can't believe this... How can this happen to my family?" Andi asked, tears welled up in his eyes. Taylor took his hands in hers. "I am so sorry that you have to go through this. I don't know what happened but I know you'll be able to fix it all somehow. I promise you, I'll never love another man and I'll always be by your side." She promised. Even though his world was falling apart, he was happy to have such a woman as his wife. She smiled at him weakly before wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him into a comforting embrace.]The memory of her promise to him resurfaced in Andi's mind as tears flowed down his cheek. Of all the people that turned their backs on him, he was faced with the worst betrayal yet. "Taylor?" He called her name just to be sure. In his mind, he had imagined yelling out her name and forcefully pulling her apart from the man she was kissing but all his limbs were weak and his lungs were sore. She broke free from the kiss and turned to face hi
Tossed into the street like the dirt they called him, Andi picked himself up and dusted his waiter outfit before deciding to head to the hospital for the night.First thing the next morning, he would be the first face his wife would wake up to see and he would make sure of it. Arriving at the hospital, he tried to sneak past the doctors and nurses but even he knew that that was impossible. "Mr Emerson?" The voice of their family doctor stopped him in his steps and the man rolled his eyes. "I thought as much." "Good evening Mr Manchester." Andi said with a smile as he turned to face the man. Stan Manchester had been his family's doctor since he could remember, yet even the man had turned his back on him ever since his family lost everything they had. It was almost like they were total strangers the way Stan Manchester treated him except, he treated him worse than he would do a stranger. "Mr Emerson, I believe you know that you are way behind on your mother's bill and the hospital
