Emma gripped Elizabeth's hands, and she tried removing them, but she refused to let go.Elizabeth couldn't breathe anymore, so she brought out her head for a few seconds and went back in, to drown her.Emma gasped and water entered her mouth, she knew that if she spent longer inside the water, she was going to die.So, she left Elizabeth's hands and grabbed her hair. She began pulling her down as well, using her strength to drag her hair.Elizabeth whimpered and mistakenly gulped down the water, she took a breath and water entered her nostrils. It felt so painful, making her grip loosen on her step-sister's hair.Emma noticed this and ripped her hands away. She brought her head from the water and panted heavily.While letting out loud gasps, she coughed. She quickly swam out of the water and knelt on the floor, coughing.Just then, Roland entered the swimming pool area and his eyes widened to see Emma soaking wet and shivering.“Emma,” He rushed to her. “What happened?”Emma lifted he
“What's going on here?” Emma asked in bewilderment.She didn't understand why those things were showing on the screen, but from the terrible whispers around her, she suspected that they were meant to ruin her reputation.Emma shook her head and faced forward to grab the microphone.“Some of the things you saw aren't true,” Emma protested. “I am in a relationship with Liam, but I'm not engaged to anyone. Those photos weren't real,”As people heard her words, they became more confused. Some turned their gaze to Roland, who was so displeased by how fast she denied that they were never engaged.It hurt him and broke his heart.“I am not getting married to anyone,” Emma said, hoping that people would believe her.There were important people at the party and her career could be affected.“She's lying!”Emma turned to the person who spoke, and her eyes widened to see her father.“I am so ashamed to say this, but I have to admit that Emma is my daughter,” Mr. Crown said into a microphone.Eli
Liam had taken Emma away from the stage and the negative spotlight. He led her to the garden and made her sit on a bench.He sat by her side and held her cold hand that was trembling.“Why didn't you tell me about them?” Liam asked softly. He didn't have a judgmental tone, nor did he have a hateful gaze for her. “Were you afraid that I would leave you?”Emma gently nodded and sniffed, “I thought that you would leave me, especially since I had them in quite the wrong way. I don't even know who their father is,”Liam was shocked by her words, but he still didn't criticize her.“How did it happen? Were you raped?” Liam asked, feeling bad for her.“Something like that,” Emma let out a sigh. “I didn't want you to see me as a burden to you. A lot of men don't want women with kids because it comes with a lot of responsibilities,”“I don't care about responsibilities. I will learn how to be a good father to them. I love you and I can't abandon you for something that was out of your control,”
Aziel had never seen his uncle look that angry before, he was so scared by his reaction.He quickly got up from the floor and ran back to his room.“So, that's one of her kids,” Elizabeth muttered and clenched her fists in anger. “That one looks a lot like her, especially with the stupid blonde hair and blue eyes. So irritating,”Elizabeth stood to her feet and walked to the place where the triplets were. She heard Aziel's sobbing and trailed the sounds.She arrived at a door and pushed it open. She beheld the kids who were curled up in bed.She stared at them with hate in her eyes. She didn't care if they were kids, as long as they belonged to Emma, she had the urge to hurt them terribly.“Who are you?” Emerald asked. Her voice reminded Elizabeth of Emma's voice when they were still young.“You have an irritating voice,” Elizabeth wasted no time in targeting the kid.“What do you mean by that?” Alden asked with a serious look on his face.Elizabeth shifted her gaze to Alden, and the
Roland returned to the house and a few minutes later, a knock came on the door. A frown appeared on his lips and he stood from the couch where he sat.He walked to the door and opened it. He rolled his eyes when he saw Elizabeth.“What are you doing here?” He asked with annoyance in his voice. “You left a few hours ago, why are you back here?”Elizabeth chuckled and shoved him out of her way. She entered the house and went to sit on the couch like she owned it.“Beth, I don't like this,” Roland complained as he closed the door. “Emma must have realized that her kids had disappeared, and I don't want anyone to lead her here. I am not ready yet to face her,”Elizabeth yawned like his words were boring.“Yeah... I understand you,”“So, can you explain why you purchased a gun? Are you trying to kill her or what?” Elizabeth asked with an amused smile on her lips.“I have to find a way to scare her into submission. It's obvious that she's going to see me as her enemy once she comes here, so
As their moans boomed through the speaker, Emma's phone slipped from her hands, she never imagined that Liam could have anything with Elizabeth.It didn't make any sense, but it still broke her heart.“Why is this happening to me?” Emma asked, her heart aching in her chest. “I feel so frustrated…"Tears flooded from her face and she felt this pain in her head. This was the worst night of her life. A night without her kids, the love of his life, or anyone important to her.She was all alone.She could still hear moans from the phone, and she had the urge to crush the phone with her foot.She looked at the phone and angrily picked it up. She stopped the video and started thinking of anyone else who could help her.As she pondered on her next step, her phone began ringing.She checked her phone screen and saw Mr. Smith's name. Without hesitation, she answered his call.'Hello,''Emma, is Mr. Liam with you?' Mr. Smith asked, worriedly.'No,' Emma replied, her voice cracking.'Where must h
Three days later.Emma curled up on Liam's couch, she hadn't been eating or sleeping properly since her children went missing. Although Liam was using different means to find the kids, there hasn't been any news yet.As Liam walked into the sitting room and met her on the couch, he knew that she must be thinking about her kids.“Emma,” He called softly, and she looked up at him. “Aren't you hungry?”“No, I'm not hungry,” Emma replied, shaking her head.Her voice was so rasp and weak that she could hardly recognize herself.“That's what you said last night. You went to bed without eating and this morning you're repeating the same thing. At this rate, you are going to end up with an ulcer and I don't want that for you, please eat…" Liam pleaded and bent down to her level.“I know it's hard for you, but you've got to remain strong for your kids,” Liam consoled and stroked her hair gently. “I'm certain that your kids wouldn't want to return and meet you on a sick bed,”Emma didn't have an
It was late in the evening, but Emma was still at Liam's house. She couldn't return to her mansion because it would only remind her of her children.She was getting stressed emotionally and if it continued, then she might end up in the hospital.“Don't you feel sleepy?” Liam asked as he sat beside her.“No,” Emma muttered and rested her head on his shoulder.“Do you want a television show?” Liam asked, trying to keep her busy with something. He didn't want her mind to be constantly on her children.“No, I'm not in the mood for any shows or cartoons. If I see something that my children loved watching, then I would get more emotional and depressed,” Emma responded and snuggled her cheek on his shoulder. “Thanks for asking, though,”“You don't have to thank me every time I do something. I do it because I love you. I don't need constant appreciation,” Liam said with a loving smile on his lips.“I just feel grateful to have you by my side. I might have gone crazy by now or died from the pa
