Chapter 30Emma finally gathered the courage to step out of the car. There was no way Godson would be in her house. He hated coming to her house. He preferred sending her a message anytime their grandfather summoned her. And besides, there was no need for her to be scared Godson. It wasnt like he was the one who had sent the men who had attached her the previous night right?"Okay, let's do this." She said to herself as she exhaled but then, there was a sudden knovk in the window.Emma flinched in her seat but turned to look at the person who signaled she should let down the window. Emma swallowed. The man looked intimidating with tattoos up to his neck. But something about him seemed familiar although she couldn't quite place it. There was no need being scared, she thought to herself as she opened the door with all the courage she could muster.The man adjusted and gave her space as she came down from the car. He gave her a small smile as he scanned the dress she was wearing. Emma wr
Chapter 31Emma froze. Brandon's lips were on hers. It wasn't like she hated it. She craved his touch from time to time but she wasn't expecting him to kiss her this way at least not in the presence of company. Her eyes were wide with shock. The kiss didn't last long. It was hardly even a kiss. Just a touch of lips or so she would like to claim. "Better?" Brandon asked her.Emma gave him an eye roll. She could not let Brandon be aware of what he did to her. Of what his kisses did to her. It made her weak in the knees but there was no way she was going to tell him that nor was she going to tell him that she actually appreciated being kissed by him because it stopped the incoming panic attack."You really couldn't think of another way?" She asked him."Yup, you are okay. Let's get out of this place." Brandon said to her as he stood up."Wh…what?" "I know you don't want to let the police in on this yet but still, we are trespassing in a crime scene. We really shouldn't touch anything a
Chapter 32Emma woke up and dashed to the toilet to relieve herself. She felt like the baby was sitting on her bladder. She had very little control over it and just taking a small amount of water brought the urge to use the toilet. She moved back to the room after washing her hands and sat on the bed. She was exhausted and hungry which was why she did not notice the phone on the bedside table until it had reached the ground. She was lucky there was a rug on the floor to cushion the fall. She picked the phone up and checked to see if there were any cracks. She had no idea whose phone it was.'Perhaps it belongs to Brandon?' she thought to herself and with that thought in mind, she moved out of the room, downstairs to locate Brandon. Maybe he had forgotten it, she thought to herself as she walked down the stairs. But then, the scent of something delicious wafted through her nose and she traced the aroma to the kitchen where she saw a lady whom she suspected as the cook, placing chicken
Chapter 33She tossed and turned and turned again. She wasn't hot nor was she uncomfortable but Emma found it hard to sleep. With a sigh, she got up from the bed and moved downstairs. She had a sudden craving for ice cream. Maybe not being able to sleep made her crave it, she had no idea. She moved to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator and to her surprise, there was a tub of ice cream. Mint chocolate chip ice cream, the exact one she was craving.Emma wasted no time in taking it out and placing it on the island in the kitchen. Her only issue was finding a spoon. The kitchen was built differently from hers and had every top grade equipment one could ever wish for. Although Emma had no idea how to use most of them. She tried opening the cupboards but there was no handle. "How do they use this thing?" She asked loudly, filled with irritation."Swipe." She heard a voice she clearly knew was Brandon's say from behind her.She had no idea how he had gotten there or when but that was t
Chapter 34Bang!Godson looked up at the person who just walked into his office like she owned it. She was brimming with anger and he really had no time for her now. Even after the news that had been released, he had still not heard anything from Emma. He wasn't so sure his grandfather's decision this time was right. There was no way Emma would keep silent about the Hugo issue especially with the way she stormed out of his office the last time that had all spoken. Godson planned on giving her one more day before he stormed her home. "What the fuck have you guys been doing?" Lydia gritted out as she approached his desk."What do you mean?" He asked her with a bored gaze.She laughed and then asked him "What do I mean?" "I'm not sure we can have a perfect conversation if you continue behaving like this." He said to her,"Fuck you, Godson. I should never have listened to you. It's because of you I was so lax in keeping track of her. I should have known something happened to her." Lydia
Chapter 35Emma had a feeling something was wrong. Lydia was acting weird and pressing her for information on where she was currently staying. While Emma knew her friend was worried for her and was just asking after her wellbeing, she could not shake the fact that something was wrong somewhere. And she also knew that it was only a matter of time before her grandfather discovered where she was currently staying. She discovered that the police later showed up at her home to investigate. And that in itself was weird. She knew she had not called the police after what had happened to her but it also wasn't like she was an ordinary citizen. She was related to someone who had much power in their society and quite possibly the country. Now that she thought about it, there were hardly any paparazzi around her whenever she moved around. Apart from her name, she was very much loved like an ordinary citizen. But she had no time to dwell on that at the moment. Because of what had happened, she h
Chapter 36"I don't want to stay seated anymore. I need air or something." Emma said to Helen."But, Mr Silver did not say anything. Maybe I should ask him?" Helen asked as she moved to pick up her cell phone."What? There is absolutely no need for that. And besides, we are just going to get groceries and nothing else. There is absolutely no need to tell Brandon." Emma said to her."I'm not so sure about this.""Please. I'm tired of staying here and doing nothing except watching television and browsing the internet."Helen knew there was no way she was going to win the argument so she relented. But they had not gotten too far when a very familiar vehicle pulled up in front of Brandon's home.Emma knew who was in the vehicle but she had no idea how the person had found out where she was staying currently. She turned to move back into the building but the person in the vehicle came down and stormed towards her."Don't you fucking dare?" He said to her in anger.Helen frowned. She was su
Chapter 37"Why exactly did you make me go with Emma to the hospital?" Alec asked Brandon.Brandon groaned when he noticed how all eyes were on him. Benji, Alec and Kevin were all present. They had agreed to meet up for some games in Alec's home although the person who had suggested it, Carson was unavailable because he had not finished his movie."We can't talk about this some other time?" Brandon asked him with a raised eyebrow."We are all gossips, Brandon. One way or another, we'll hear of this." Benji said to him."I'm lost." Kevin said with a frown as he took opened a beer."Long story short, Emma asked for help to get her mother out of a hospital and Brandon said I was more suitable to help her." Alec told him."Why does she want her mother out if the hospital?" Kevin asked with a frown on his face."I don't care. My question now is why Brandon lied." Alec said.Brandon ignored Alec and turned to his brother. " I don't know the full story but I guess she doesn't like the hospit
