Emma: “Lucas!” I yelled at the top of my longs as I ran over to him and pushed Joy out of the way. Lucas was already spitting out blood from his mouth and I could tell he was not going to survive. As tears started streaming down my face I said to him, “Lucas I am so sorry this has happened to you. I forgive you, you here me. You are no longer fired I want you to work for me forever.” Lucas responded with the rest of his strength. “Miss Emma do not fret over me. You and I both know I will not be getting off this floor again. I told you one day I would get you to forgive me who knew it would be so soon. I finally got the courage to call you something other than Ma’am finally.” Lucas let out a gurgled chuckle. Sniffing I said, “I promise you I will take care of your wife and your children. They will want for nothing for the rest of their lives. Your death will be avenged this I swear.” Lucas managed to let out one last thank you before I watched the light in his eyes fade away. I turn
Natasha: I felt really bad leaving Emma alone to deal with Lucas, but hopefully what I have planned will help get rid of Ruby or at least slow her down. I looked over at Tony who was in the driver’s seat. I could tell Lucas’s death was a sad affair for him as well. Like he did for me before I just grabbed his hand and we drove in silence. I figured if he wanted to talk about it, he would. When we arrived back at my place it was again near supper time. However, neither of us were hungry, to much blood shed this day. I took him into my office and opened up my laptop. I showed him the blueprints for Ruby’s apartment and how I planned to deactivate her security system so we can enter without her being the wiser. I only showed him what I had planned to do once I got inside. I told him he was to stay outside while I went in and did the dirty work. He did not like that plan, but he knew he didn’t understand all the technical things I planned to do. He would not mean to, but he would just
Natasha: I reached into my pocket and pulled out my cell phone. I turned on the screen praying to God Ruby could not see the light from it through the keyhole. I quickly put it on silence without vibration. I sent an urgent text to Tony saying, “I did not make it out in time. Do not worry, she did not catch me. I am currently hiding in a big oak chest. Text me when she leaves the building again.” Tony responded as quick as lightning. “Jesus Tash, that is not what I meant by get out of there. If she does not leave within twenty minutes, I will set the fire alarm off forcing her out.” I simply said okay and put my phone screen side up on my lap so I could see when the next text came through. I peaked out of the keyhole watching Ruby’s every move. Every bit of this seemed wrong to me. I felt like a stalker trying to learn the ins and outs of my target. It was not a pleasant feeling at all. Ruby picked up her phone from the kitchen counter and made a phone call. I did not know who she
Emma: Natasha and I stood there staring down at the men we loved. We exchanged shocked glances with one another before Shane got to his feet and grabbed my hand. “Come on babe we can go into the kitchen and give those two their own privacy while we have ours.” Shane said, pulling me along with him. Part of me wanted to break free of his hand and run away screaming. Everything I have been through did not compare to how much this one simple question scared me. We entered the kitchen, and both sat down at the dining room table across from one another. He gave me a slight smile before saying, “Babe I know this is a big decision for you. And I want you to know no matter if you say yes or no, I love you and we will stay together. I know you have always hated the idea of marriage, but you know it is something important to me so take your time my love.” He was right, the thought of marriage made me feel sick to my stomach. In my experience everyone I have ever known for the most part that
Emma: A few days later I was getting dressed for Lucas’s funeral thinking about what happened after Shane asked me to marry him. I wanted to immediately go back on my answer, but the look on Shane’s face prevented me from doing so. My answer made him so happy, and I could not bring myself to take that feeling away from him. After all he had been through so much shit, he needed a win. I had heard Natasha cursing someone out in the living room, so Shane and I went to see what was going on. I would like to say I was surprised that Ruby was in my house yet again, but nothing about her shocked me anymore. Though I was angry she once again showed up without any warning I sighed heavily then walked over to her grabbed her forcefully by the arm and pulled her from the living room into my office. “What the fuck are you doing here Ruby? I told you the other day when we spoke on the phone I need to think about your proposal!” I said irritated. My irritation was wiped away when I saw the desp
Emma:These fucking stupid ass Saxtons. Why was I cursed with such horrible cousins? First there was Ruby and all the shit she does. Joy is not much in fact I think she may be worse. And Derek was a whole other shit storm. I wish they all would just disappear from the face of the earth and leave me in peace. Of course, that was not going to happen until I did something about it. And believe me my patience was wearing thin. These girls would be taken care of if it is the last act, I did in my topsy turning life.“Why were you at my house in the first place? Never mind I don’t care. Well let’s go deal with her then. Get in the car Ruby you are coming with us as well.” I said in a pissed off tone. Ruby hesitated with a look of unsurety on her face. But after a minute she climbed in, and I told Paul to drive back to the house. Looking at him made me miss Lucas more than I was missing him at the funeral. Paul was the complete opposite of him, and I was not sure I liked it one bit. But I di
Natasha: Emma and I exchanged a worried glance at one another. I did not know how to explain away Officer Smith being at my house and there was also the matter of the dead chick currently in Emma’s basement. “Emma why don’t you go work on the project we were doing, and I will go outside and talk to the detective.” She gave me a tight nod and walked back to the basement door giving me one last look over her shoulder and entered closing the door behind her. I gestured for the Detective to go over to the porch table, and I followed after him after closing the front door. He looked at me with his piercing eyes before saying, “I am not sure if you caught my name. I am Detective Morris from the Springfield police station. My son, Officer Smith, informed me he was going to your place of residence to question you on some matter that he had not disclosed to me. Since than no one has seen hide or tail of him. Can you explain that to me Miss Greene?” I was nervous and was doing my best not to
Emma: I walked slowly towards the front door thinking about how much I wish people would stop ringing my doorbell. Like seriously most people who I engage with just come over and walk right in. it is not often that someone rings or knocks on my door let alone it happening twice in the same say. I reached the door and there was not any one there annoyed I went to close the door when an envelope lying on my doorstep caught my eye. I bent down to pick it up before going back in the house. I went to the dining room table and sat down. I proceeded to open the envelope and pull out its contents. Inside was a mad of a wooded area drawn by hand and a small note. “Emma, I am sure you are curious what this is about, but I am not going to give it away. Find the spot on the map marked with an x. to get your next objective. The only clue I am giving you is it is Bellows Forest off Sinclair Blvd. Do this or your daughter will pay the price. I am waiting.” I didn’t even stop to think and grabbed
