46| Some Old Secrets
Emily's POV:
My best friend's girlfriend!
One woman. One beautiful woman who changed both of our destinies.
One who destroyed my hopes of living happily ever after with Edward but gave him the best happiness he could ever get in his life.
Her Love.
They say that 'to love and being loved in return is the best thing in the world!'
They say right though, I must admit!!
Things worked out for them pretty well I suppose.
I always thought that Lara was a big obstacle between me and Edward but years passed by like seasons and I never realized when I ended up becoming obstacle between the two lovers.

Emily's Pov:I was as shocked as a bull deprived of water after ploughing fields in strong sunlight all day!I stared continously at Lara, who was still crying hysterically, hugging the album close to her bosom."You have a daughter, Lara?!!"She nodded meekly, wiping her tears like a little girl with the back of her hands. My motherly love kicked in and without thinking anything, I pulled out handkerchief from my purse and handed it to her.She looked at the piece of cloth and then at me and I smiled at her, encouraging her to take it, coaxing her with my sympathetic eyes."Here! Come here!" I made her sit on the sofa and immediately poured a glass of water for her which she drank it, her tears still flowing from her beautiful eyes."I won't ask anything else if you're hurting so much because of it!" I patted her back, assuring h

Emily's POV:I was cooking breakfast and watching the front door at the same time. It was almost eight in the morning and I was glad Lara hadn't come until now.I wasn't willing to wake Eric up though he loved to go on morning walks. Edward had an important meeting today and so he was upstairs, getting ready for it.Suddenly the doorbell rang and I jumped at my place, my heart leaped to my throat, glaring at the door in hope.Please, let it not be Lara!Please, let it be anyone but Lara!While I was busy bribing God with my futile attempts, Miranda opened the door and I saw Lara coming towards me, smiling brightly at me."Hey Emily, good morning!

Emily's pov:Pouring two cups of coffee quickly, I walked towards Jake, who was sitting on drawing room, in heavy mood."Here!" I handed him a mug of coffee before sitting in front of him, crossing my legs."So... How come you're here? So early in the morning!?"Jake didn't respond, instead he took one sip of his coffee, avoiding my gaze and perhaps, ignoring my logical question ever, as well."Jake!? You didn't answer me. And now when I am thinking about it, where is...." I looked all around the room, before fixing my eyes on Jake, "Mia?"He still didn't look at me.My natural feminine and partial tomboy instincts kicked my butt continuosly, telling me something indeed had gone wrong, the reason this dog named Jake was so early in my house, the one who used to bite off anyone's head whoever dared to drag off his slim ass of his c

Emily's POV:It was hard to reach Mia since she wasn't picking up my phone or replying to my texts and I was getting worried for her.I contacted the mobile company to put her mobile number on surveillance using my late father's security business card and they wanted some time to tell me the exact location of Mia."So what did the two of you talk about?!"Turning around, I saw Eric drinking water from the fridge and he placed food on the table, everything steaming hot and ready. I smelled the aroma of his handmade dishes, opening lid of the containers to admire his cooking."You know you didn't have to do all that! I mean you came just yesterday so it makes me a villain if you would continue to cook-""Oh shut up already! You and your stupid hero-villain things will never cease to eat my brains off!

Emily's POV:Loud reverberation of thunder broke my line of thoughts and I ran towards the window to realise it still hadn't stopped raining. Cold drops of rain splattered my face and chilling breeze hugged my features just as I opened my window to peek at the weather.Glancing at my phone, I threw it annoyingly on sofa after seeing no calls or replies from Edward. I sat beside the window, my eyes glued on the muddy road, my eyelids dropping heavily from sleep.A loud knock on the door woke me up abruptly from my short nap and I rushed towards the door, turning the knob and quickly opening the door."Edward! Where the hell were you, you stupid moron! Why the hell you were so-"I stopped blabbering to see Edward slumped lazily on Michael's shoulder while Michael struggled slightly with his weight."Oh my god! What happened to him, Michael!?
