• Something In Between Love    Storm From The Past

  CHAPTER 97EmilyHer smile was as I remembered, Pretty, mysterious, and dimpled. Her eyes were dark and large, her black shoulder-length hair was styled in a bun at the nape of her neck. She was dressed in a blue sundress that brought out her eyes, a gold wristwatch paired with an equally gold necklace shining on her delicate neck, and gold pumps on her feet.Her scent of cookies and lemon still lingers around her. It has been seared into my brain and will never go away. It tormented me; it transported me back to my childhood days when everything was smooth sailing and when I didn't have to worry about the harsh realities of life. I snapped out of my reverie back to the harsh reality; that is my Mother, standing on my doorstep with a smile as if she had not ghosted me when I needed her the most. “Who is Em?" Aunt Fiona called as she approached me. “Long time no see?” Mother said with a grimace. "What are you doing here?" I said. "I see you're still the same. Relentless." She b

• Something In Between Love    Bound To Happen

  CHAPTER 96Sebastian “It was bound to happen anyway,” she said. I felt the words cut through me like a knife.Never in my life did I imagine falling madly in love with a woman who would love me so much and at the same time break shatter my heart in pieces. Neither did I know that woman would be Emily Asher. I was a coward; I should have fought for my marriage. I should have said something to convince her to stay, but I watched her walk into the closet and listened to her painful cry. I know it will haunt me forever. I didn't know how long I sat on the floor. An hour? Three hours? Maybe till dawn? I couldn't sleep a wink. The door to our room opened, hope surged through me, and I peeked, but disappointment sunk in when Mother walked in. “Well, don't look so disappointed, I'm your Mother. And what's going on? Emily just left with her luggage, she looked like a zombie.” She padded toward me and kneeled in front of me. "Seb, Did you two argue?" "I'm late for work; I-I have to

  CHAPTER 95Sophia "They'll divorce soon if they don't stop skirting around each other and talk it out.” I blurt out. "Watch your mouth, Sophia!" Mother chastises. "What? It's true,” I shrug, “Or have you not noticed how they pass each other in the hallway as if they were strangers? They walk around like zombies with hunched shoulders, deep sighs, and eye bags under their eyes. Emily now frequents her family house and comes home looking like a ghost, while Sebastian is either holed up in his study or comes home late. He uses the Micheal problem as an excuse to bury himself at work. And how do I know this? He doesn't take tea at all, nothing sweet, that's how I know a crisis is brewing. This is even worse than when he was with Vanessa," I conclude. I pick a cherry and pop it into my mouth. "Do you think something happened that we are not aware of?" Mom asks thoughtfully. "Probably. Everything became awkward after Em was discharged. She said something weird at the hospital," I sh

  CHAPTER 94Sebastian She burst into a full-blown sob in her hands. Her whole body shook with painful sobs. I sat still, unsure how to comfort her, I didn't know how to be there for her. She finally calmed down after crying for five minutes making me feel more guilt than I had ever felt in my lifetime. “Did you know he was my Father?” she asked, her voice void of emotion. “I did, but only recently,” I admitted. “Was Robert aware?” Her tone was bitter. “We're you some kind of a reward for the poor girl who needed saving from her world of debt–""Emilia…" I warned."Don't. Please don't say my name, and don't try to make excuses when it's crystal clear that I was used by your family. How could you all do this to me?” She bit her lip, hard. “Would it have been different if I had known and not said anything?" "What?" she asked in disbelief. "We were both set on our ways, too determined to reach our personal goals. The will was just an excuse that gave us the final shove. Despite

  CHAPTER 93Sebastian Dumbstruck, I said. “What do you mean she's lost the pregnancy, I haven't…" I bit my lip to stop the sob clogging my throat. “She was pregnant?” Mother whispered in shock. “I need to see her,” I declared. “You cannot see her now, Mr Crest, she's still in recovery," "Don't you understand?! She needs me to be with her…please," I whisper. Everyone stared at me, sadness marred in their expressions. “We understand your plight Mr. Crest, but you have to understand this is a delicate situation, please…" Doctor Philip added with empathy in his eyes. I staggered back, leaned on the wall, and slid down to the floor. My Mom rushed to my side and hugged me by the shoulders. “You have to be strong for Emily, sweetheart; I'm so sorry I didn't pay attention," She rubbed my arms in comfort. Early the next morning, I and Theo were waiting in the lobby. I hadn't slept a wink, just tons of coffee in my system. Sam had driven Mother, and the girls home for a change of clo

  CHAPTER 92Sebastian An hour earlier… Finally, we arrived at the warehouse where Michael was holding her captive."Start talking, Vanessa," I ground out, my patience wearing thin. Vanessa hesitated, her eyes darting around nervously. "Micheal instructed me to take some names to a guy named Jul...he said Jul would know what to do."I dialed Theo's number, putting it on speakerphone. "Are they on their way?" I asked. “Yes,” he replied. “Listen… it's confirmed that Jul guy is Michael’s accomplice.” “We suspected so,” Theo replied. “They have to tread carefully so he doesn't hurt her, do you understand?" “Got it. Just. Be careful out there.”When we arrived at the warehouse, Vanessa grabbed my arm, her eyes shining with fearful tears. "Michael isn't thinking right now, he's gone completely mad and obsessed with your wife. If you venture in there, he's going to kill you. Let's just wait for the police."I scoffed my anger and worry for Emily overriding my concern for my own safety
