Emma held tight onto her dress in fear, the cold expression on Blake's face made her feel affright. "You should have this in your mind, do not step your boundaries in this house. I can be very dangerous" Blake paused, he dragged her by her dress and she ended up whimpering. His eyes irritably search hers. "More dangerous than you know" That said, he pushed her sideways from the wall and left her falling on the concrete floor. Emma hissed in pain, her waist hurt from falling hard on the floor. She stared at his retreating figure as he climbed the stairs until he disappeared into one of the rooms. Tears brewed down her face, this time, she didn't stop herself from crying, she didn't try to control her emotions, she let herself cry out the pain and hurt she is feeling at the moment. It won't heal her but it will make her feel better. She is scared of moving forward, scared of what the future holds for her. This path she found herself is all stormy. How will she cop
The ten minutes Emma was given was the shortest ten minutes in her life. She didn't know when and what time Blake began counting from, that made her unsure of whether she is late or not. After taking her bath, she hurriedly wore a simple gown and head down the stairs confused about why he is calling her. Is it to hit her? Punish her or blame her again for agreeing to this marriage? He was the same person that his precarious and threatening gaze couldn't let her say anything stupid yesterday yet, he is mad at her. Emma bit her lips in nervousness, uneasy about what will happen to her. As she stepped downstairs, she saw Blake elegantly seated while tapping his foot on the ground. Her heart accelerated, will she ever get used to his presence? Will there be a day she will not be shaken by his intimidating aura? With each step she took towards him, she silently prayed. She is scared, she ought to, Emma is just twenty. She can't be classified as an adult now. To her, she
Emma slumped down on the floor. She buried her face in her knees and cried. Her cheek was hurting her much. She didn't know if she is to be thankful or feel wronged for the slap. She felt the slap being better than standing on ice for hours. She will be frozen, that punishment is worst, she can't imagine it. But then, why couldn't he forgive her? The time she was given was short. As she cried, she thought about her life and the outcome later on. She used to be a happy child but now she is miserable, she has become unhappy in just a week. She thought about a lot of things, there kept running through her mind. Her mind drifted to her school, since she is not to step out of the house, will Blake allow her to continue her college? She is just in the second semester of her year two. The thought of stopping her education sadden her the more. All her life, she had dreamt of becoming a psychiatric doctor to help the mentally unstable people and her dreams is crashing down b
Emma opened the papers the moment Blake left. Her heart keep sinking in distress from all Blake said to her wishing for it not to be true. But as she opened the papers in front of her, her chest tightened. She suddenly felt hard to breath. She couldn't stop the tears descending from her eyes like a falling rain as she read the papers. CONSENSUAL AGREEMENT OF EMMELINE BRYSON'S OWNERSHIP BETWEEN PARTY A AND B. 1. party A is to pay the sum of five hundred million dollars to party B. 2. party A is the sole owner of party B and so, he has the right to make decisions for her. 3. Party B will severe all the ties with her family after the marriage. 4. Party A can choose to allow party B further her education and vise versa. 5. Party B must abide by the rules made by party A and be obedient to her new owner. Emma threw the papers away, she began feeling a strong migraine from how hard she has been crying. She couldn't continue reading it and so she kept it away from her.
Ryan raised his hands up in surrender seeing how annoyed Blake was becoming because of his wife. "Dude, I didn't say anything infuriating just yet. You might not like her but I'd want to meet her anyways, who knows, she might be the one for me" He said playfully. Blake rolled his eyes, their drinks were brought by another bartender who happens to be a mail. Ryan cussed inwardly while Blake popped up the vodka immediately pouring it in his cup and gulped down everything. "Wow, easy tiger" Ryan said with a raised eyebrow. "Shut up and drink, stop disturbing me" he replied. Ryan laughed in response. "You will be needing my help very soon" he said. He knows Blake has zero tolerance for alcohol, he doesn't also have to take thorns of bottles before he gets drunk. "Do you think I can't go home on my own?" Blake asked "Well no because I do not want my best friend to crash into a tree or another car and die, I still love you with your sucking attitude" Ryan croaked. Ins
"I ask again, do you understand?" Blake repeated the question again. "Yes boss" Soon, they were being dragged out of his office. "Please Sir, do not hurt my kids and I. I am sorry if we have offended you in any way. Spare us please" the woman's tearful pleas rang across the room. Blake charged towards her, his face red from anger. He held her hair and hit her head on the wall, she let out an agonizing scream as blood gush out of her head. His action was so fast that Ryan couldn't prevent it from happening. "It seems you do not know why you are here, now let me make something clear to you" He said taking in a deep breath. "Your husband went away with my money and since he is not here, you all will have to take the fall for him so do not plead with me, I hate it when you say sorry, it's annoying and irritating" Blake explained ruffling his hair in frustration. "Take them away" he ordered going back to his seat in annoyance. "You shouldn't be doing this dude, you can
Emma stared at him in confusion finding it hard to understand why he is asking her those questions. If only she is he brave enough to answer them. What is he expecting her to say? She didn't want the marriage or any form of agreement her Dad signed in her name. There was nothing else she could have done after finding out that her Dad already signed those papers. She wasn't given a chance to make this decision for herself. It was already made and she had to accept it just the way it was knowing fully well how fearful the Campbells are ranging from their physical appearance to this their personalities. She couldn't have done anything, it was stated that any breach of contract might lead to a situation that she won't be able to handle. Maybe the death of her family? Or just the one she loves the most, her brother? "Are you not going to answer my questions?" Blake asked with a short laugh. A laughter that held no sincerity in them. "I have known very well it is because
Blake stared at the lifeless body on the floor with his hand ruffling his hair in frustration. A side of him wants to help her and another side of him wants to completely ignore her and leave. Blake is aware of how big the mansion is but how can she pass out after doing something as small as that? He is not too hard on her, she is just naive and weak. As much as he tried to move his eyes from her fragile body, he couldn't. All of a sudden her skin became pale to him. "Darn it" he cussed under his breathe rushing towards her and picked her up from the cold floor. He gently placed her on the bed, brought out his phone and called his doctor. He checked her pulse, thankfully, it was okay. Blake sat beside her on the bed with his gaze on her face. His eyes darted to her lips and he closed his eyes taking in a sharp breath. Her lips were wounded and swollen, her beautifully shaped nose pointed at him, she look innocent with the pure look on her face. He shouldn't look
