Emma later went upstairs to her brother's room. James' room was filled with things that he had insisted on carrying from Mina's place. He adores his things and wishes to take them with him wherever he goes. Emma faked a gasp seeing the room. On the bed, the blankets were covered by plushies and coloring books while color packs were laid on the nightstand unevenly. Mina had spoiled him a lot. Emma began to organize her brother's belongings. She placed the plushies on the bed, and neatly stacked the coloring books and packs on the nightstand. When she finished, she stood back and felt a warm wave of nostalgia wash over her.While Emma was arranging his clothes in the closet, James was having a much-needed conversation with his sister, spilling all about his new school, his newfound friends, and how much he missed her all these days. Emma sat beside her brother after she finished arranging his belongings, and the two of them sat for hours giggling and playing games like they used to. So
"Do you need anything, Sir?" Kevin's spell was broken by the old maid's voice. He turned around, stunned, to see Amanda standing behind him, holding a tray of snacks for the kids. He shook his head and looked back, unable to take his gaze away from the moment. From her. It was a rare sight for him as Emma never showed him her emotions. Ever since their marriage, he had never seen her smile or cry. Although there had been a time when he wished to see her tears, when he wanted to hurt her for the humiliation she had caused him, he was now certain he wouldn't like that. Instead, he found the mere thought absolutely absurd. "Would you like me to call her outside?" Amanda asked, looking at him strangely. He was still dressed in his formal attire but there was no tie and his hair was a little ruffled. She was probably unaware of how impatiently Kevin left his room in search of Emma when he didn't find her there. He was glad he found her in time, or he would have missed this beautiful s
"What are you looking for?"She hesitated for a few moments but in the end spoke up, hoping that he had seen her pills, "Sleeping pills." "I threw them away," Kevin retorted calmly. "What?" Emma looked back, shocked. She wasn't able to decipher why he would do it. "I need them." She let out, desperation was obvious in her voice. "I don't want you to take those pills again." Kevin seethed, gray eyes looking at her intensely. "Why?" Emma asked, her anger growing. "I can't sleep without them.""They are not good for your health," Kevin replied, his voice dripping with sincerity. "Why do you care?" Emma questioned, baffled. Didn't he intend to hurt her? Then why is he concerned with her well-being? Before she could argue further Kevin pulled her down and hovered above her petite figure. His gaze met hers. "I like to take care of what belongs to me," Kevin rasped, brushing a strand of hair away from her face and looking at her rosy lips. "And you are mine," he whispered and locked h
It was the beginning of spring. The sun shone brightly and the sky was so clear that it felt like magic. Birds chirped as they flew through the sky, with a melody so sweet it was hypnotizing. After stepping out of the luxurious black car, James slowly walked up the path to Mina's house, carrying his small panda bag on his shoulders and looking down at the vibrant wildflowers that had burst into bloom along the path. The little puppy had already scurried to Mina's door, feeling a sense of comfort and relief at the prospect of returning home.Emma soon joined her brother and they both stopped and took a moment to admire the beauty of the flower beds. The cold winter had been long, harsh and tedious, but the beginning of spring promised new life, warmth, and hope that everything would be fine."What's the matter?" Emma asked, seeing the kid standing quietly. It was so unlike him. James looked up, sunlight glinting off his face, enhancing the beauty of his green eyes, but his endearing
It was around six in the evening when Emma came home. Kate was on a call, looking a little anxious while Ivy sat alone in the corner staring at her mother quietly waiting for her attention. Though Emma was tired, seeing the little girl unattended, she accompanied Ivy. Her presence brought a much-needed splash of cheer. A minute later Kate hung up the call and, for a few seconds, looked at Emma thoughtfully, perceiving her behavior and the sadness in her eyes. Despite her warm smile and soft laughter, something seemed off about her. Her young spirit felt sad and forlorn. It was as if she was going through a lot. The younger one exuded depressed vibes. She remained silent for most of the time, seeking solace in solitude. While most girls of her age like to dress up, put on makeup, shop for the latest trends and attend parties, Kate hadn't seen Emma doing any of these things. Amanda's words suddenly made more sense and Kate felt a deep sorrow in her heart, realizing what Emma was e
Emma tucked Ivy under the covers, and soon a stream of stories began to flow out of the little one. She kept talking fondly about James and Brownie and the wonderful time she had spent with them.Ivy was missing her newfound friends, especially James. Though she was shy at first but quickly opened up to him, laughing at all his silly jokes and loving all the crazy things they did together. James had been very kind to her and Ivy deeply admired him. His vibrant energy had fascinated her. Both kids varied significantly in personality; they were worlds apart. James was passionate and funny while Ivy was more timid and quiet, but they got along well."Good night," Ivy whispered and pecked Emma's cheek. From the second Ivy met Emma, she was overjoyed. Ivy's blue eyes would shine with boundless love and admiration every time she looked at her. Emma possessed poise, a strong aura of nobility and grace from which Ivy felt she could easily draw strength. And she did, every day. Their bond wa
After an hour or more of driving on the winding roads, Kevin finally spotted a small house tucked away in the secluded wilderness. With ease, he steered his car onto the rustling leaf-strewn path and eventually stopped in front of an intricately designed gate that separated the quaint mansion from the surrounding woods. The uncertainty for what was to come rose inside Emma as she watched him step out of the car. Her heart pounded with anxiety at the thought of being so far away from the safety of the city and completely alone with him. She had an idea of what he would do to her, but given his raging anger, Emma feared that he might not only force himself upon her but bring physical and emotional harm as well. Though he had never hurt her physically before, yet she couldn't help but worry that this time things could be much worse. She had never seen him this angry. Taking a deep, desperate breath, Emma mustered all her courage and stepped out of the car ready to take whatever he w
"Why don't you put these gorgeous lips to better use?" Kevin rasped, his voice deep and alluring as he hungrily stared at her full lips, imagining how they would feel around his length. Flames of desire began to rise within him, swiftly changing his fury into a profound need for her touch and warmth. And this wasn't the first time. Kevin recalled his ardent longing for her delicate lips kissing him and wrapped around him yet he never voiced his desire. She seemed unwilling to go to that level of intimacy and he never pushed her. Despite their countless sessions, there were still many things he hadn't tried with her—oral and French kiss topping the list. For a moment or two, Emma was unable to comprehend the words he had uttered so boldly. But then, seeing him perched on the bed, his legs spread out and his eyes focused on her lips, it dawned on her what he was asking for. A blowjob. Her cheeks turned a feverish red in shame and heat flooded her core for she had never encount
