Richard got into the dressing room and remained still, almost at the verge of tears.He chuckled when he recalled how he had once told his late mother how no human on earth would ever make him cry.“You have no idea, things can happen in a split of a second”, his mother had said to him.“I’m so strong, mum. And my heart, it’s so rigid”, he had said, after which they both laughed aloud.He wasn’t strong after all because his heart had turned soft, and a human made him cry consistently.“Baby! We are waiting!” He heard Barbara’s voice and immediately, he hissed aloud.He couldn’t recall the last time she called him a sweet name. It baffled him to see that she had called him that because of how much she wanted to maintain her image in the eyes of the public.He remained mute and after a while, walked out of the dressing room, clad in a black tuxedo.“You look great, my love”, Barbara commented and winked at him to give a response.“I’m glad you know my taste”, he replied calmly, with the
“You both aren’t showing some sort of emotions. I need to see the spark, the spark of love”, the photographer said in frustration.Richard stayed still, staring at Barbara with a dead glare. On the other hand, Barbara kept stealing glances at the man who was at the far end of the studio.“You know what? This is not working! You both are not giving what I want”, the photographer said in frustration.“Think of your marriage, think of how your marriage is one that every couple wish for. That should be a thing of excitement, isn’t it? Now think of it and give me that spark!” The photographer said with a smile.“I beg of you to make use of another example”, Richard said defiantly and jerked up when Barbara gave him a pinch on his elbow.“I mean, another example won’t be bad”, he added with a softer tone.“Okay! How about this”, the photographer said as he took in a deep breath and drifted off in thoughts.“Think of your happiest moment in the last one week”, he said and immediately, everyw
“Your man is waiting over there, you would rather not keep him waiting”, Richard said to Barbara, after which he flashed a smile at her and made to walk away.She smiled back and walked closer, throwing a dead glare at him.“Guess what I thought about when he asked for the memories from the past week?” Barbara asked while Richard sighed in frustration.He couldn’t ascertain why Barbara was always up to make him feel miserable.“You were probably thinking of him, I guess”, Richard said with a smirk and without emotions in his eyes.Barbara was taken aback as she thought of why he sounded so firm and audacious.“Well, you were right, but then, you excluded something”, Barbara said with a mischievous gaze.“You excluded the part that I thought of how wet mere thoughts of him makes me feel. I mean, I think of the way his hands makes my body flare up and how I get to the very climax at the end of it”, Barbara said, grinning from ear to ear.“And yes! That was a day ago and so, you can imag
Emily got off her bed and glanced at the clock to see that it was almost time to prepare dinner.Barbara never stated that she had to prepare the meals, as that wasn’t part of what her job entailed.However, she loved the fact that Richard couldn’t stop talking about the meal she had prepared for him the last time.This spurred her to personally include cooking in the list of things she was expected to do as a maid.She smiled and sauntered towards the main house and into the kitchen, going through her mind and trying to figure out what to prepare.The refrigerator was stocked up with every single thing and for a moment, Emily couldn’t help but wonder why there were so many things there which were hardly used by them.She made up her mind to prepare spaghetti and a tomato sauce which she had just learned how to prepare. She set to work as she placed a pot of fire, with the spaghetti placed inside of it.Emily started singing as she diced the tomatoes, sausages, onions and other veget
“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
“Oh my God!” Emily muttered continuously the moment she heard Barbara screaming from the living room.She quickly moved the box back to its position as she hastily made her way down the stairs and into the living room. Her feet trembled, and her lips were quivering in fright. She had decided to satisfy her curiosity, without a plan of what to use as an excuse or cover up.“What should I say?” She asked herself as she took slow steps into the living room.Emily sniffed in the smell of burnt spaghetti and that caused her heart to shatter into pieces.“Oh my God!” She yelped as her whole body trembled in fear.At this point, she could swear that she was going to get fired.Firstly, she was wandering around the house, and that was definitely something she wasn’t meant to do.Secondly, she had totally forgotten that she placed something on fire and now the house was almost on fire.And then, the worst of everything was that she had no explanation in place for what had happened.“Emily?” B
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
Emily stayed frozen, shivering and unable to move an inch from where she stood.For some minutes after Barbara left, no one uttered a single word.“That was a scene, right?” Richard finally said as he lifted his head and chuckled calmly.Emily was in extreme shock that she couldn’t utter a word. She had thought that she was fired but suddenly, Barbara lost strength and couldn’t utter a word to counter what Richard had said.It got her into a state of shock that five minutes wasn’t enough to recover from.“I understand, come here”, Richard said with a smile, while Emily finally took in a deep breath and clumsily walked towards him.Richard broke into a loud and hysterical laughter when he took note of the expression on her face.Her eyes were squinted, and her lips were parted slightly as though some words laid inside of them.“Firstly, I’m so sorry and secondly, I really do not think it’s funny”, Emily said as she stood beside Richard who was laughing uncontrollably.He stopped after
