“Wow!” Emily mouthed in amazement the moment she walked into the room.It was massive and beautiful, with flowers at different corners and a wall design that entailed wealth and class.“It doesn’t look masculine ”, she noted, taking slow steps into the room and swirling around in delight.She rushed to the bed and sank into it, giggling in excitement and wishing that she could take a nap for a while. The feel of the bed on her body brought great contentment that at an instance, she was at the verge of falling asleep.Next, she turned her eyes to the left, where she found different portraits on the table. She walked closer, with the aim of catching a glimpse of the picture of her husband.Just then, she saw a box which laid at another corner of the room. Immediately, she walked towards it to peek into what laid inside of it.She found different pictures of Barbara which made her smile calmly. “She looks calm in these photos”, Emily said with a smirk as she thought of how unbelievabl

The atmosphere became dead silent as Emily finally raised her head to stare at Richard, who now took slow strides towards them.“Stay out of this, Richard!” Barbara warned and returned her gaze to Emily.“Your duties never included cooking. I never asked you to cook!” She screamed aloud.“I’m so sorry, ma’am”, Emily said.“You wouldn’t have done anything if you burnt this house!” She yelled out of her lungs and made to hit Emily when she felt someone’s grip on her wrist.“You would rather not hit her now, would you?” Richard said and chuckled slightly, after which he pushed her to the side.“She is still a human and an adult at that. You should never try to lay your hands on her just because you think you have the privilege”, Richard warned while Barbara stared at him unbelievably.Emily quietly raised her head, still with her heart thumping heavily and her breath shaking.She had no idea of the fact that Barbara had tried to hit her, until she saw Richard’s hands holding hers.“You k

“Does she leave the house always?” Emily asked while they waited for the spaghetti to come to a boil.She was glad that he didn’t get mad at her for almost setting the house on fire.“Yes”, Richard replied bluntly, an indication that he wasn’t ready to talk about Barbara or anything that concerned her.“Forgive me for asking. She owns the house and so, she can leave and return whenever she wants”, Emily added as she lifted the lid to take a peek at what was cooking.“Can we talk about something else other than Barbara?” Richard asked with a look of displeasure in his voice.“Definitely! I mean, there are siblings who are like cat and dog. But I’m certain that you both love each other despite the continuous fights. I would love you both to settle your differences and hang out more often as siblings. I mean, I don’t have a sister or a brother, and I’m certain that I miss that in my life”, Emily blabbed on but stopped when she observed that Richard didn’t utter a word.“Is everything oka

Barbara hissed angrily when she heard the sound of her phone ringing for the hundredth time.“Who is it?” Her lover asked grumpily, pulling her close to his chest and trying to plant a kiss on her lips.“It’s Mike! It’s just so frustrating”, Barbara replied as she picked up the call and placed the phone on her ears.“What the hell do you want, Mike?” Barbara asked angrily with a huge scowl on her face.“Aren’t you coming?”“Coming for what?” She asked impatiently, almost at the verge of ending the call.“The banquet. It’s today, and you promised Richard that you would attend”, Mike said, not wanting to believe that she forgot about the event.“Ohh! I would be on my way then”, Barbara said with obvious displeasure in her voice.She already made plans for her outfit for the banquet. However, the date skipped her mind and she had totally forgotten that it was scheduled to hold by weekend.“Why not stay and forget about that rubbish?” Her lover asked as he placed quick kisses on her bare

Barbara drove into the house as she watched Richard, who was sitting together with Emily.“I guess she doesn’t obey rules”, Barbara said silently and glared at Emily from the car, wishing that she could quickly go over and pounce on her.She got out of the car and walked towards them, with Emily standing to her feet the moment she caught sight of Emily approaching them.“Welcome, ma’am”, Emily greeted, with her head lowered to the floor.Barbara ignored her and turned her gaze to Richard, who clearly was unhappy to see her.“You should tell your maid the importance of obeying rules, specifically my rules!” She thundered and turned around to head back to the car.“And yes! You wouldn’t want me to change my mind about attending the stupid banquet”, she said scornfully, after which she made her way to the car which would convey them to the event.Emily was blank and sputtered words that weren’t audible.“It’s okay”, Richard assured her with a smile, after which he turned around.“Wait!”
