Chapter 15"You look beautiful." Layla said to Emma with a wide smileEmma did not feel beautiful. The dress she wore was lovely and every design and embroidery on it was elegant. She knew it was a dress most brides would be dying to wear. It was an off shoulder dress that spread from her waist down to the floor. Her make up was also flawless but she wasn't necessarily happy about her wedding. She could not shake the feeling that she was making a huge mistake. But if it meant it would save her mother then wouldn't it be worth it? It was a small sacrifice she would pay just to see her mother get better, right?Layla placed her hand on Emma's exposed shoulders. Emma had been so caught up with her thoughts that she had no idea Layla had walked up to her. Layla rubbed Emma's exposed hands as if to rid her of the cold."What are you thinking about?" Layla asked her with a small voice.Emma wasn't sure Layla would understand why she was getting cold feet. The last time she had talked to Lay
Chapter 16There was a flurry of activity in the hall. The paparazzi took up the opportunity to keep on snapping photos. Emma's family stood up immediately she collapsed and rushed to bring her to safety. Brand tried moving with them, to know if she was okay but he should have known there was no way he would be welcomed in their family especially after the stunt he had just pulled."Where do you think you are going?" Godson asked him in anger."To check…..""Don't you fucking dare. You got what you wanted right? You just let the whole fucking world know about this. Isn't that what you wanted? Now get the fuck out of my sight." Godson said to him."You can't….""I don't want to see you anywhere near my granddaughter. If you decide to stay here, then I have no choice but to call security." Brandon heard Templeton say to him.His face was also contorted in anger. Brandon had things to tell them and maybe he could make the man see reason as to why Emma was not a fit to a bastard like that
Chapter 17Emma tried to call out to Layla but she was already out of her house so there was no way she could do so. She knew she had been extremely harsh with Lydia but it wasn't her fault really. Or maybe it was. She had no idea. All she knew was the fact that she did not want to talk with anyone except perhaps her mother who was in the hospital.But there was no way she could contact her mother without contacting the hospital first because according to the doctor, she had to call them first before she visited the hospital. Why the fuck had Brandon showed up that way? There were literally other ways he could get what he wanted. Why did he have to choose the one that was most stupid and the one that would put them directly in the public eye? Why did he have to go about it that way and where the fuck was he now? He created a mess and he was nowhere to be seen?Emma took a deep breath to calm herself. She knew she had to go to the hospital for a check up especially after that fainting s
Chapter 18It was a round table discussion of only three men but there were five chairs present. The room was dinky lit as each man looked on with grave expressions on their faces. One, blonde with a tattoo crawling up his neck. Another, also blonde but his hair was longer and he had a piercing on his left lobe of his ear. The last person had brown hair which was styled with much care. He twisted the ring on his left finger as they all sat silently while there was a newspaper and a pad on the table.Another male walked into the room, stopping in shock at the people who sat with grave expressions on their faces. He had brown hair with blue eyes and bore a striking resemblance with the brown haired man who was seated. "What the…." He said as he put on the lights."Put it off." The blonde man with the tattoos said to him but not once did he take his eyes off the table."Fuck off, Benji. What are you guys doing here?" He asked them.The brown haired man who bore a striking resemblance ga
Chapter 19Brandon opened his eyes slowly. He was on a bed but he was still wearing the same shirt he had been wearing the previous day. He turned and took in the glass of water along with a pack of drugs that was placed on the nightside table. He sat up slowly and rubbed the space between his eyebrows when the door to his bedroom opened and Kevin walked in."Feeling alright?" Kevin asked him."Better. Don't tell me you all camped in my home." Brandon told him as he got out of bed albeit slowly."You mean spent the night?""Camping….spent the night. I don't see any difference." Brandon told him.Kevin gave him an eye roll but answered him nonetheless."I made sure to send them home. Alec wanted to stay though. He was pretty adamant about it." Kevin told him."It's not like I was dying." Brandon said to him."You can't blame the kid. He worships the ground you walk on.""He's well above twenty now. He's not really a kid anymore.""Twenty five. That makes him two years younger than Cars
Chapter 20Brandon walked slowly into his parents home. He had no idea what he had been expecting when his parents said they were going on vacation along with their grandfather but Brandon was sure it wasn't this. The house in which they were having their vacation was a Victorian style building. It looked like it had been created in the 1900s. Brandon walked slowly for fear that any loud or extreme movements may destroy things in the house although he knew that was not the case because the house had been restructured before his parents took it as a vacation home. He wondered if there were maids in the house. "There you are." He heard his grandfather say from where he stood on the stairs.Brandon turned to his grandfather with a small smile. His grandfather still looked the same as the last time Brandon had seen him."Grandfather." Brandon said as he moved to give the man a hug.His grandfather patted him on the shoulder and moved with Brandon to the kids then where his parents were
Chapter 21"It wasn't meant to last this long. This wasn't even supposed to happen."Brandon wondered what his grandfather's reply would be. He had expected an interrogation but certainly not this way and certainly not in the presence of his parents. He had no idea what he had been expecting after the call from his grandfather but a part of him had hoped it wouldn't be this much of a hot seat. If only he had learnt to keep his dick in his pants and not get addicted to her. "Okay. Then why did it happen?" Felix asked him."Dad….""Stop it David.""I'm….""I need to understand why your son was so stupid to roll in the sheets with a Templeton." Felix said in anger.Brandon flinched due to the harsh tone. Was it really stupidity that made him sleep with Emma? He wasn't sure. He knew he was not making the best decision when he started sleeping with her. Perhaps he had been stupid for going ahead with it and thinking with his dick?"I'm sorry. I…I just….I'm not even sure what I thought. It
Chapter 22Emma had no idea what she had been expecting when she was summoned by her grandfather but surely it wasn't anything she was hearing. When she had first walked into the office, she took a pause because her grandfather was not the only person present. Godson stood at a close distance from her grandfather while Hugo sat with a frown and clenched hands. His suit was wet with what Emma suspected to be sweat and his unclenched hand tapped his thigh anxiously. Emma swallowed nervously. The last time she had visited the hospital, she found out she was hypertensive. She had been beyond shocked because no one in her family had a history of it. At least not that she knew of. So it was surprising.Although, it was later explained that due to stress and some other factors, some pregnant women become hypertensive during pregnancy and it most likely returned back to normal after childbirth. The one important thing she got from the doctor was that she should avoid any stressful situation
