Chapter 40"I need to see him." Emma said to Brandon as she wiped her tears."What?""I need to see my grandfather.""What? Why? You think anything good will come out of you going to see him?" Brandon asked her with a confused frown.It wasn't even up to an hour since the came back from the hospital and now she says she wants to meet with her grandfather?"Emma, you are not thinking clearly. Just take a deep breath and…""I know exactly what I'm thinking. I'm capable of sound thoughts and I know exactly what is going on. I don't need to rest or take a minute or two. What I need to do is confront my grandfather." She released a sigh and continued. "I'm tired of everything, Brandon. I'm tired of being used like a puppet and I had no idea that my mother had been dead…was dead for over a year. I've been going to the hospital and sitting next to someone I thought was my mother and I…I need answers and I don't want to rest, at least not today until I meet with my grandfather."Brandon stare

Chapter 41Brandon held Emma close as she cried her heart out."Why?" What type of daughter am I? I should have known. I should have known there was something wrong. I should have sus..suspected that something was wrong." She cried out."There is no way you would have known." Brandon said to her in a soft voice."But it was obvious. She's been dead for over a year but I had no idea. I even visited the hospital…I held her hands. I'm not worthy to be called her daughter." She cried out."It's not your fault." Brandon said to her as he rubbed her back with soothing strokes."But it is….I.." She could not get the words out as another round of tears poured out.No matter how hard Emma wiped the tears away, willing herself to be okay, it wasn't working. It kept on pouring and she had no control over it. Brandon did not let go of her, not even once. Even as they sat on her bed in the room she now claimed as her own, he held her close. As if willing her to cry her heart out. To let out all th

"How is she?""She…I don't know. She just went back to bed." He told her truthfully."What did the doctor say?" Kevin asked him."Apparently, we were having twins. She….we lost one." He told him.His brother released a deep breath and gave him a hug."I'm so sorry." She said to him,"It's okay. I'm just glad Emma's okay. And at least one baby is okay." He said to her trying to make light of the situation."Don't lie to me, Brandon." She said as she released him and cupped his face. "I'm your mother. You don't have to pretend to be okay in my presence. I know how hard losing someone can be.""Mum.""It's okay, we are all here for you." She told him as she gave him a hug again.—------------------------------------------------------------"You're leaving?" Brandon asked his parents."Yeah. Don't you think it's a li

Chapter 43Once more, it was Emma and her thoughts. She tried. She tried really hard. She wanted to believe Alec and Brandon when they said it wasn't her fault. That she had no power over what had happened but it still didn't stop the thoughts. She had one child left with her but it didn't stop the thoughts. She willed it to go away but it just wouldn't let up.And after everything that's said and done, she knew she was at fault. First it was her mother, then her child. If she couldn't be a good daughter to notice all that had been going on in the hospital, how could she take care of her own children? No wonder the baby died. She had neglected going to the hospital for her regular checkups. She had neglected many things, being caught up with just herself. She was to blame. It didn't matter what Alec or Brandon said. She was at fault and she knew it. She was on her way to becoming the worst mother in history.There was a knock at the door, Emma wiped her tears immediately and pretended

Chapter 44The intense urge to pee was what woke Emma up from her slumber. She made a mad dash for the toilet and it was only after she had come out of the toilet that she noticed she was the only one in the room. There was no sign of Piper or Zoey. An unexpected feeling of sadness hit her. They should have at least waited until she had woken up from her sleep right? She thought they had all become friends. Even if it was just one day they had spent with each other, she could not deny that she felt a sense of camaraderie and sister good with them. Emma moved downstairs and saw Helen behind the stove."You're awake. Take a seat, I'm almost done." Helen said to her with a smile."Um, perhaps….is…".Helen turned to her with a raised eyebrow. "What is it that you want to ask?""Me?""Yes, Emma. Don't even think of pretending. You can ask me anything you know, right?" Helen asked her.Emma thought of it for a moment. There was really no need to ask Helen about Piper and Zoey. She was sure

Chapter 45Emma waited for Brandon. It wasn't like they were friends or anything but it had become a habit to eat together and she just could not bring herself to start eating without him. But minutes passed and Brandon was still a no show.Emma turned to Helen who was getting ready to leave. "I'm not sure being friends with Brandon is going to work.""What?""You said we don't even behave like roommates. I'm trying to behave like one, waiting for him to come downstairs so we can eat together." Emma said to her.Helen turned to Emma with a smile. "Waiting downstairs for someone to come down does not make you guys friends." "But…""You are just making excuses, Emma. You saw how he was when he walked in and you really think he would come down if you wait for him?""Then pray tell, what should I do?" Emma asked her in surrender.Helen gave her an eyeroll and replied to Emma with her voice heavily laced with as much sarcasm as she could muster "I don't know, find him?""What? Why?""That

Chapter 46Emma let out a gasp and Brandon used the opportunity to slide his tongue into her open mouth. He was consumed with need for her, an extreme want that he could not control. Emma tried pushing him away, she caught a handful of his hair and gave it a tug, it brought pain to Brandon but he had lost all reasoning. The pain only made him seek more. He moved ruthlessly over her like and with time, Emma lost the zeal to fight him. She moved her mouth along with his, intertwining their tongues. They continued for minutes and only let each other go to get in a lungful of air.They stared at each other. Emma with an intense hatred as she clung unto him, her lips parted. To Brandon, she looked like an angel. One that would be able to satiate his needs. But even at that, he made no move to continue. It was a constant rise and fall of their chests as they both stared at each other, none relenting. Emma knew she would regret whatever was happening between them but now, her desire clouded
Enemies but lovers1 Chapter 47
Chapter 47Brandon was ignoring her. At first, she had only suspected it without any claim but now, she was sure of it. He made sure to eat dinner or even breakfast before she came downstairs and he also made sure to stay out of her way not that she was complaining but after what had happened that night at the gym, she thought maybe even a hello or hi or something would be said by him but instead, she got his cold shoulder. Even when she asked him a question, a very simple question that required either a yes or no, he always gave her grunts in reply. She had no reason why he was ignoring her but every part of her felt it had something to do with the night in the gym. It was after that night that Brandon started with his odd behavior. Well, it wasn't like they were actually friends before so it shouldn't really annoy her that he was ignoring her but it did. Especially because she felt it was because of something she had done that night. Could it be that he did not enjoy the sex as muc
