"I know that you don't want to take things further. I like how it's going," Emily uttered.Christian stared at her, smiling."Do you want it to be like that? Are you okay with it?" He asked, staring into her eyes.Christian was sure that he wanted nothing more. He already had a lot of engagements. He was still trying to get over with the fact that he had something doing with his Ex-wife."Yes, I am. I have to go back to my father. I need to tell him the truth. I might not be around for a while and I need you to understand," he added.Emily found love in the hands of a stranger. She found herself around someone she was not sure she was going to spend the rest of her life with.Christian was sure that nothing was going to happen. It was just something to keep him busy and clear his head.After Emily left, Christian moved back to his priority. His priority was making sure his company was better. Stanley was the only one who there for him, but there were some days he was absent.It was a
Emily got back home to face the trivia of her planned marriage. Her Father realized she ran away. They had to settle everything right from that very beginning. "You are not going to run away again," her father said. Emily smirked and she nodded without saying a word. Later on, she retired to her room feeling numb, and helpless. All she could remember was scribbling her signature on those thick printed papers. She had to harden her heart. She felt like a mess, and she showered again. She washed away her fears, her pains and regrets. When she came out with her robe, she found some ladies waiting. "Hello, Emily," one of them uttered. "I thought I did all of this before?" She uttered. This is different. "We are sorry we came late. Please sit, we don't have enough time," she added. She couldn't speak. The simplest but most beautiful wedding gown she’d ever seen. It was rolled in with a hanger and I couldn't take her eyes off it. She felt like getting it and keeping it for th
Life is really a twist ... we make our own plans but sometimes life always have a different plan .But shouild we because of that stop planning our lives.. no, we keep planning.We are responsible for our actions . but we are not responsible for our feelings.when love gets hold of you,,, only you will know and understand your own heart, people around you may try but they wont just understand you. They say love is like a butterfly, .. indeed it is for Alice. But sometimes, it is good to let it go, to let it fly, if it is your own it will surely fly back to you. but if it is not yours ... it will fly so far away. But the good thing is that your own, your very own will come to you because love comes to those who believe in it. In life, don't fight to get loved, dont fight for someone's attention.... if you as an individual is worth someone's time they will give it. It is not love if it needs help. Though love is pain, lots of sacrifices needs to be made, in love. But still, the sa
“Father, you caused all of this,” she roared.Stephanie’s father was confused, and stared at her in a disgusted manner.“What do you mean? How do think sometimes? “he uttered, moving away from her.“You are the reason all of this is happening to me. You would have allowed me to make my decisions. You would have listened to me when I said this was how it was supposed to be,” she added.“I did what I thought was right. You have no right to say I didn't know what I was doing,” she replied.Stephanie couldn't hold back her emotions. She stayed with her Father for a while and never said a word.“You are the reason why my life looks useless. I don't know how to even start or where to start from,” she replied.Stephanie's mother came in and looked at both of them in confusion.“You should have no right to talk to your father in such a disgusting manner,” she picked in.“Oh! I'm talking to him in a disgusting manner? You have been a weird mother. I have gone through a lot without you or your
Emily watched her life crumble into different pieces. She didn't know how to end the chaos.Jack, her sham husband, did the worst. It got to some point of extreme arguments.She decided to act differently today. She was ready to succumb to the pressure she was getting.“I’m sorry for the way I have been acting recently. I don't know but it's really hard for me. I don't know how to deal with everything,” she uttered, scanning her eyes in the room.Her heart fell into her stomach after waiting for a good minute and Jack said nothing.“Are you going to keep staying silent? I said something and I'm expecting a reply,” she added, moving closer to him with no confidence. Jack stared at her with a face of disgust and regret.“It's already clear that I have nothing to say to you. You should think of better things like you leaving this marriage,” he hissed like a woman and walked out.“You are walking out of me? I dare you to go tell your father all you are saying,” Emioy followed him. Anothe
Emily made her way out of the building in the morning. She appreciated the cook who gave her where to stay so much.“I don't know how better I should appreciate you. You did a lot by just giving me where to stay. I appreciate it,” she uttered, putting her hands together.“You don't have to. I did what I did out of my heart. I wanted to help out. I saw what happened and it was very obvious that it wasn't fair,” she uttered.Emily nodded and she left.She paid her way back to the city and the first place that came to her mind to go was Christian's apartment.She was overly excited to be going there, talkless of having to see him.“I know he would be very happy to see me. It's been so long, it's been months and we couldn't stay without seeing each other for a day,” she soliloquized, grabbing her bag tightly with her left hand.She knocked on the door. She did severally before the door was finally opened.When the door was opened, her eyes widened in excitement to see her one and only.No
Chapter 61Emily found herself in a devastated state. She only had one option towards solving everything that was on desk.She regretted going to see Christian and she prepared her mind to get over it.It was hard, everything she did reminded her of him.Everytime she places her hands on several parts of her body, she is reminded of every move Christian made while they stayed together.It turns out to be a traumatic experience for her.She had just one option which was having to face Stephanie again. She found it really hard to find her.Stephanie, on the other hand, made up her mind to fire her.She walked into the location where she got from Mr. Micheal, Stephanie's father.“I'm sorry. I know that you wouldn't want to even see my face again. I didn't want it to happen like this. I messed up pretty bad, and I know that you should be angry with me,” she uttered, breaking the silence.Stephanie was enjoying her glass of wine while thinking about her next move.“What brings you here? Yo
Emily decided to find out a little bit more about what happened when she was gone. She tried to fix herself into the team.“How do you know you are going to find him? You know he carried all the money you had and he ruined the company too,” Emily started.Stephanie groaned, “I will find him somehow. I don't want to think about how hard it's going to be. I'm ready to put myself to the task of finding him.”Stephanie suddenly became silent, but her eyes were filled with tears.Enily noticed, and she acted concerned.“Is everything okay now? You are staying silent and all of a sudden it's tears? No, what's the matter?” Emily uttered softly.“It's nothing. I keep imagining that my life would have been better. I have seen the outcome of my choices. I got pregnant and my baby was gone,” Stephanie cried out.Emily heard about it, but from the way Stephanie was acting, she judged that everything was great with her. She didn't need any sort of help from anyone.Meanwhile, every single day neve
