“I, the heiress of Burke industries was reduced to living the life of a lowly prostitute” Emile’s sobs became more heartbreaking “By day, a tool to vent his anger and by night, a tool to douse his sexual needs. In society, I became a joke, a notorious woman who used despicable means to steal a husband but incapable of keeping him; who was not even worth mentioning in front of an evening partner of my husband.”“I had to stop work and cut-off contacts with all my friends…. Living my nightmare day in and day out, without even knowing the charge I was guilty of.”“Every day from then on was a living hell till 2 months ago when Michelle came back.” Emile managed say these words between sobs.Christopher’s knuckles were white from being clenched; the veins on his temples bulging from anger.

She knew that she should get as far away from the vortex as possible… but she couldn’t; It seemed like someone pushed her in… into her worst nightmare!She was sitting at her desk chatting with her Grandpa’s photograph. This was a habit she developed ever since Grandpa passed away. Whenever she had something pressing on her mind, she would sit at her desk talking as she stared at a picture of her Grandpa’s picture.

Emile had just turned to face Daniel and didn’t expect the kick; She fell backwards onto the shards as she tried to balance herself.“Ahhhaaa…” Emile cried out in pain. Blood seeped out through the cuts onto her dress, but Daniel didn’t seem to have noticed this and dragged her back onto the bed as he forced her. He didn’t seem to hear her rejection nor her screams of being in pain. He didn’t stop until she couldn’t hold on any longer and fainted.Daniel looked at Emile in disgust as he tidied his clothes and walked out of the room without a second glance just like last night. He didn’t even bother to cover her with a blanket.Daniel left early the next morning as he had a meeting with overseas delegates without even giving Emile a second thought.Alice was surprised to see that Emile had not made breakfast again. She wondered if the young lady had become enlightened. She didn’t understand

Emile heaved a sigh of relief as she noted that Daniel was not at home. She had no idea why he turned into the devil but after two days of torture, she was truly afraid of him. She decided to send Alice back as she had been at hospital taking care of her and didn’t have time to go home. Alice cooked a few light meals for Emile and left after changing the dressing for the wound on Emile’s back since she couldn’t convince Emile. She knew the young lady had her best interests at heart and didn’t argue further. In the afternoon, after eating the meal that Alice had prepared, Emile ate her medicines and was about to head upstairs when she heard the door opening. She froze in fear not knowing what to do. She didn’t want to see Daniel if she could help it but fate wasn’t so kind. Daniel walked into the lounge room and saw Emile standing with her back facing him. He didn’t know what happened to him, every time he saw her, it was like anger would explode like a volcanic eruption. “Decided

His phone would always dutifully ring after half an hour to an hour and would almost always leave immediately regardless of whether he was frustrated or not.It would be a lie if Emile said she wasn’t jealous as she saw his indulgence towards Michelle. But those feelings wouldn’t last long, she had no longer had any fantasies or requests from Daniel; he had crushed all of them with his ruthlessness’ Now, she was patiently biding her time; waiting to embrace the endless blue skies, the bliss of freedom!Two days before their third wedding anniversary, Daniel returned in a fowl temper and tortured Emile the whole night before announcing the next day that Michelle would be returning to stay with them.

Never to look back It's you… I am back!
Christopher sat up straight in anticipation as he saw her eyelids fluttering. He rang the bell in excitement as he stood close to her bed.Emile slowly opened her eyes in trepidation even though her head was heavy and her eyelids refusing to budge. She was worried that she would be back in the villa the moment she opened her eyes. She stared lifelessly at the ceiling.“You’re awake.” Christopher sighed in relief “Thank the heavens.”“Huh?” Emile turned her head in confusion; Her eyes stared at Christopher in disbelief for a few minutes before a smile broke out on her lips “It’s you… I am back!”“Yes… yes… yes…” Christopher agreed without hesitation even though he had no idea what she was talking about. To him, all that mattered was that she was awake.The doctors came in along with the nurses after being alerted by the alarm. They did a thorough chec

Emile was discharged from hospital 2 days later. Abbey was waiting patiently for Emile to get back before hounding her to make up for lost time. The ladies spent the next day indulging in beauty salons while Christopher busied himself with all the work that had piled up.The next day, they gathered on Emile’s balcony for breakfast. They had stayed here for close to a month and wanted to plan what and where to go next.“I need to finish 2 more assignments before stretching my legs.” Abbey opened the conversation once everyone settled in with their breakfast.“How many do have to finish?” Emile grumbled.“This trip seemed to be an oasis of a travel blogger.” Abbey smiled happily “Most of the snippets we sent were selected by the editorial board.”“The flipside is” Abbey scrunched her lips “I have to write up.”“What about you?” Abbey pointed the spear at
Never to look back There will be no meaning if I can't see your smile.
Emile looked in awe and admiration at the back of the man that stood tall in front her, shielding her from the world. Being shielded from the wind and rain… this was a feeling she hadn’t felt in a long time… her eyes were filled and nose sour even though she tried to put on a brave front.Christopher had no idea what was going on through Emile’s head at this moment; He would have been elated if he knew; only heavens knew how much he wished to see this expression on her face towards him.
