EMILY’S POV“ Objection my lord “ A mature voice said loudly but also confidently.All our heads snapped back to see who it was.The first person I saw was uncle Lucas my dad’s personal assistant that we haven’t set our eyes on since the day my dad passed away.He walked in and my brows furrowed wondering what was going on.why would he show up on this day after all this time.“ Why interrupt me “ the judge asked, obviously displeased with what was happening.Ethans hold on me became more tight. I had to caress his hands that were on mine a little to show that he should calm down.Granny on the other hand was restless and Ava tried to calm her down.Whispers of people that were in the courtroom.I could see Charlotte and Amelia whispering to each other and they smirked when they me looking their way.Were they behind this??Were they tryna sabotage this??All these questions were running through my mind when uncle Lucas spoke up with a stern look on his face “ I wasn’t the one who said it,h
EMILY’S POV When dad said he wanted to start with the crime which Charlotte committed I was curious to know too because really didn’t really get any clue as to who she killed but we knew she killed someone.Hearing dad say this made my ears start itching to hear whatever he knew.“ Charlotte here killed.... “ Dad said and was ever ready to continue speaking but Charlotte shouted for him to stop and immediately went on her knees.“ Dad please don’t do this I don’t wanna go to jail I beg you,I’m your daughter don’t rat me out to them please “ Charlotte pleaded while holding my Dad’s legs,Amelia also came to kneel and beg but my dad shrugged her off.“ Don’t do this Marcelo please... “ Isabella pleaded with dad and wanted to continue but my dad cut her short.“ Charlotte here killed Sophia Cross.Ethan Belford’s Late fiancés,she purposely tampered with Sophia’s brake on the eve of her wedding and that led to her death “ Dad said and looked at her with disgust.“ What?! “ Ava,Granny,Brad,E
EMILY’S POVI woke up due to the heavy banging on my door,”Emily!!!”Isabella,my stepmother called and kept banging on my door.I groaned and cursed at myself for waking up late,I knew I was done for.Isabella would probably make me starve for days again,I rolled my eyes and groaned.“Emily, if you don’t come out this minute you won’t get anything to eat for the next two days “She said.Great,just what I thought would happen,I facepalmed.I hurriedly got down from bed and rushed to the door, opening it immediately.“No mom please,i'm sorry I overslept, it wasn’t intentional “I said“Don’t call me mother!!!I am not your mother,I can never give birth to a useless and worthless child like you”she retorted.There she goes again,I was already accustomed to those words so it didn’t really have any effect on me anymore.My name is Emily Jones,I'm a 26 years old lady,the heir of my family,but I am now forced to leave this kind of life in my own fathers house.Ever since my dad died,which I found
EMILY POVI woke up from my nap,unbothered if I overslept and walked out of my room,only to be met with the worst sight ever.From the hallway till the parlor was scattered,and I immediately knew what this was about.“I guess it’s pay back time”I said knowing this was the handwork of Charlotte and Amelia.This was a childish act yeah?But at least she didn’t go running to her mother to report me like She always did.I am guessing Isabella must have gone to work and was sitting in the CEO’s office that rightfully belonged to me.She denied me my rights of going into the company which now belonged to me since I am the heir.She lied to the board of directors and shareholders that I said she should take control,she even forced me to make a video to confirm what she told them.Since then she has been giving me a lot of chores that even the maids thought Twas too much for me.She caused me so much pain and has taken away my legacy but am gonna get it back.I was about to start arranging the h
EMILY POVIt was a bright morning when I woke up and yawned, feeling free because Jezebel and her two little devils, as I loved to call Isabella and her daughter, weren't here to boss me around.I felt relieved,is this what freedom feels like?.I had only been treated badly for a few months ,but it seemed like forever to me.Feeling contented and free,I went to the bathroom and took my bath.I checked the clothes that I brought with me and decided I wanted to appear very simple,so I picked a tight blue jean and black tight fitting off shoulder top,that didn’t require me wearing a bra,because I hated wearing bra.I dressed up and packed my hair in a messy bun,tucked the off shoulder top I wore into my tight jeans and headed out carrying my phone.On my way out,I went to the receptionist post and handed the keys to her.“Good morning,here are the keys,I’ll be back before my time for payment expires” I said, handing her the key.“Ok ma’am,have a nice day”she said smiling.I reciprocated th
ETHAN’S POVIt’s a bright summer morning,I am still in bed,when a loud knock interrupts my sleep.I turned around and checked the time, “shit!” I cursed and literally fly out of the bed.”I can't believe I woke up at 9am,I was supposed to have a meeting by 9:30am!”I checked my alarm and saw it was faulty,well I couldn’t blame anyone, because I didn’t I live here permanently.I hurriedly walked to check who was at the door ,I wasn’t surprised to see that it was my younger sister Ava, I opened the door and asked with a straight face”what?”.She smiled and replied “Good morning to you too Ethan”I rolled my eyes."Not now Ava"I groaned,knowing the reason why she came here.“Aren’t you supposed to have a meeting by 9:30?”she asked,I didn’t answer and hurried into the bathroom.I came out and Ava was still here sitting comfortably on my bed,I rolled my eyes at her and facepalmed.As if that was the cue she needed she proceeded to say”Grandma is going on and on about how you have come of age ,a
EMILY P.O.VI am so excited I got the Job at the Belford’s mansion. At least I would be able to save up some money. Staying with them means I don’t need to worry about accommodation and payment of house rent.The bills will be much easier for me.Granny, the grandmother of the Belford’s,was kind enough to employ me as her personal maid.She is so kind ,humble and polite unlike her grumpy,arrogant,rude and proud son.I always overheard Charlotte and Amelia discussing him,how he is New York's most handsome eligible bachelor and how he refused to date or even touch anyone since after the death of fiancée Sophia.Charlotte always spoke of how she always saw him from a distance each time they went for fundraising or a ball ,she always says she would do anything to be with Ethan,I consider it shameless because that would mean she’s throwing herself at a man,i think to myself and can’t help but roll my eye.Judging by how Ethan treated and spoke to me it shows he clearly doesn’t want me working
ETHAN’S POVWe arrive at the front of my company’s building ,Harris parks the car and the bodyguard outside opens the car door for me ,I hurriedly walk in,my workers who are on floor greet me and I just answer them with a nod.Normally each time I come to work,I take the stairs instead of the elevator so that I can see what’s happening around my company before heading to my office.But today I am having a meeting with new investors and I am damn late so I take the elevator,I see some of workers who want to use the elevator too,but once they see me coming they give way for me to go and no one dares to come in as I walk into the elevator till the door closes .The door to the elevators closes and I click the button number five,it starts to move and stops on the fifth floor of our company where the conference room is located.The elevator door opens,I walk out and head to the conference room.I see my assistant standing at the door of the conference room waiting for me.“Good morning Boss,
