Emma; Mrs Norman
I sat on the sofa in my room, and went through the pictures of my boy, Ace.
He was wonderful as a little boy. I just couldn't understand what made him change so badly. As a responsible mother, I could tell that something definitely caused it. I just couldn't figure out what it was, and that always made me feel useless.
I sighed as I glanced through the pictures, and spotted something that made me tremble. It was my little girl, Jamilah.
Not wanting to think further about her, I dropped the book of pictures and sauntered to the bathroom.
I sprinkled some water on my face, and stared at myself through the mirror.
Anytime I thought about the poor girl, I always had a terrible trauma. A trauma I just couldn't forget.
"What's wrong Emma?" Alfred asked in a worry tone.
I flinched
My already jumbled life seemed to be getting worse. I was totally out of this world. I could pass out in no time. My sense wasn't in its right form. I was sure of it.I gulped in deeply, as I stared at her. She didn't take a step forward, or backward. She seemed to be broken and crumbled too. Her mouth dropped on her jaw, like she literally just experienced the greatest SHOCKER in her entire life."Ma." I traipsed to her.She ignored me completely, and stared intensely at Ace. Her gaze was completely focused on him.He equally seemed shocked and worried. We were all shocked from one thing or the other.It was surprising that she came around. She didn't state it to us before. She probably planned to give us a surprise visit, and unfortunately, she had to observe our crazy argument. It was indeed a surprise.I felt stupid and sad, about how I was becoming
ACEI rubbed my hands against my forehead, as I went through the files on my table. I couldn't concentrate on my work in the last few days. Everything seemed really confusing and frustrating. I didn't really understand what was wrong.After the day my mom hit me, I became perplexed at everything I was doing. I wanted to apologize to her, but I just didn't know how to. It was really hard to not speak to her in two weeks. It was so annoying!Besides her, Mia ignored every of my tease. She was really being obedient to whatever instruction I gave, and that was quite amazing.Emily also wasn't around since a week ago. She had to do some important work, and that frustrated me even more. There was no one to accompany me.It was five in the evening already. I needed to relax. Work was really tiring these days. It got me so screwed up.I arranged the
ACE"Oh Ace! This room is gorgeous!" Emily exclaimed.I rolled my eyes and walked behind Emily, as she traipsed into the room. I was really exhausted. Our journey was a really stressful one. Besides the long journey, Emily's over excitement was already getting on my nerves. She seemed to talk too much, or comment on unnecessary things. I was so used to it, but I didn't know why it irritated me. It was probably because I was stressed out, but my heart didn't think so.To be sincere, I somewhat felt weird that I was on a trip with Emily. At first, it seemed completely normal to me, but later, it felt like I wasn't doing the right thing.I wanted to get rid of that thought, but it kept flashing into my sense. It kept ringing, and clamoring in my mind. I just couldn't understand the reason.This was one of the reasons I didn't want to get married. I probably felt that
I quivered as I stood, staring at him. Why did I have to see him? Why couldn't he stop teasing my heart? What did he want from my soul?It was Drake! It was him again. Why did I have to see him again? I was slowly getting rid of my memories about him, and I was almost completing that task. So why now?!My eyes were already filled with tears, and I tried so hard to prevent it from dropping.I swallowed again and quickly averted from our stare. There was a probability that he wouldn't recognize me, but I doubted that. He narrowed his eyes and seemed to be noticing me."Sorry." I lowered my head, trying to prevent him from observing me further, and hurried to walk past him.That was a little relief. But still, I wasn't sure he didn't discern me."Mia." He called, causing my heart to ache.I thought he wasn't going to cognize me. So foolish of me
ACEI finally shut my laptop, after a two hour study. I was done with my work and It was already nine in the morning. I woke up early, and hurried to do everything I needed to do for the day.It was our last day at Miami, and we hardly even enjoyed it. Whenever we wanted to have fun, it was either I acted like a complete git, or I'd get tired for no reason.I was sure Emily was regretting the fact, that she had to come here with me. It didn't seem like she was enjoying her vacation at all. And all thanks to me.I sighed tiredly and sauntered to the bagel she had dropped for me, before she left.I had no idea of what she was up to, and I didn't ask either. For some reason, I wasn't interested in anything, but home. I couldn't wait to get there. I just couldn't.I turned back at the settee, and walked to it.I was about t
ACEI parked my car in the garage, and headed to the mansion. I was so curious to get home, and finally feel comfortable.I was supposed to be home by 11:00am, but I changed my mind completely. I booked an early ticket for 5:00am. It was quite obvious that Emily wasn't fine with that, but I ignored. I thought of having another trip with her, when I was stable enough."Gabriel." I called one of my workers, before stepping in."Yes sir." He hurried to me."Grab my stuffs in the boot, and bring it in." I ordered. And before he could reply, I rambled in.I was so exhausted. I needed bed rest. At the hotel, I couldn't sleep on the same bed with Emily. I insisted on paying for another room, but she refused. She said she was too scared to stay alone, especially in an unknown place. It was quite uncomfortable, but I had to do it. I was so
I impelled back and forth on my bed, and slowly opened my eyes. I was still so exhausted. My head was really crying for help. It felt like pieces of rocks were leaping in my skull. I couldn't explain the pain that was being inflicted on me. In one word, it was overwhelming. "Arrgh!" I groaned in pain, and tugged the back of my neck with my hands. "Ace," Mia's angelic voice sounded from the side of my bed. I wanted to cry to her, and beg her to call a doctor, but I just didn't know how to. How was I going to say it? How could those words even leave my lips? I jerked my eyes open, and turned to her. She looked so disturbed and scared.
MIA "Well, the only alternate option right now, is to use the medicines I've prescribed. But that may not seem to work so fast," the doctor vividly stated. I turned to Ace who was standing by the side of the bed, his facial expression blank, as if he wasn't interested in what the doctor was saying. "Are you sure?" he asked again. "I'm willing to give you extra money. Isn't there a way you can perform a surgical operation on her?" I raised a brow at him, and giggled silently. "I don't want surgery." My response was firm, firm enough to shut the doctor up from saying anything. I was pretty sure the doctor would regret that he had to encounter a cl
