Emma groaned covering her ears with a pillow but it was effortless. The banding of the drum was too loud, coupled with her brother's annoying laughter! They filled her ears completely stopping her from having any more sleep. This has been Carl's way of waking her up every blessed weekend. She gave up trying to sleep and sat up on the bed throwing a pillow in Carl's way. "I am so going to kill you" Emma said, throwing another pillow at him which he caught with ease while laughing at his already pissed sister. "I know you love me so much to think of killing me" he replied sticking out his tongue childishly. Emma rolled her eyes, she snorted, removing the blanket off her body and stood up on her feet not before passing a glare to Carl. "I am up now, isn't that what you wanted? Now get out of my room" she said, pushing him towards the exit. "Good morning to you too sis and yes, I had a good night's rest" he retorted sarcastically. Emma couldn't help the smile that crept
Blake sat like a king on the chair, his face devoid of any emotion. His stormy amber eyes morphed into pitch black staring dangerously at the helpless man in front of him with blood oozing out of his body. "Do you think you can mess with me and won't get caught, Mr Dean?" He asked, his voice was as cold as his face. Mr Dean cowered in fear, shaking his head negatively. "Please spare me Mr Campbell, I am really sorry" he shivered with cold sweats breaking out of his body. Blake was up in seconds, he stride towards the bloody Mr Dean and let out a humorous laugh, a laugh that sounded scary. It revealed his anger and irritation. He collected a pocket gun from one of his men cocking it straight into his head. "Who sent you?" Blake asked while hitting him with the bottom of the gun. Mr Dean fell on the floor but was held back in a kneeling position. He shook his head in fear! There is no way he is mentioning a name to Blake Campbell. If he does, his boss will come afte
**** A Week Later **** It is no news that every girl fantasize about having a wedding with whom they love, walking down the aisle with both being a happy and in love couple is every lady's dream. Emma's wasn't different but fate decided to turn her wishes into ashes. Here she is in tears on her own wedding day, it's okay to cry as a lady while leaving your parent's house. Emma's case was different, she is getting married to the man that probably hates her. The most deadliest business man in the whole city of Washington. Even at a young age, her said husband has done a lot of despicable things. How can she get married to that kind of person? Emma stared down at her hands with tears streaming down her face. "Sis" Carl called and sat beside her on the bed. He was very annoyed when he learnt about his sister's marriage to Blake Campbell, a man he will never wish his enemy to get married to. But since it was an agreement, he couldn't do anything to change it, he is a
A frisson of fright shot through the already trembling lady. Emma cowered away but regretted it almost immediately. Blake dragged her closer to himself once again and this time more harder in a way no one would ever notice. "Do not ever try to escape from me, it is one of the things you can never do. You can never be freed from me" he said pettishly. She closed her eyes involuntarily as she tried harder to stop the tears from spilling out of her eyes. This is happening on her wedding day, will it get worse when they are out of here and it's just them? All her life, Emma has never thought of this phase of life, she have heard a lot of abusive marriage but not for once has she thought of it happening to her. Once she opened her eyes, she looked around to see everyone busy discussing and laughing among themselves. No one's attention was on what is happening to her. She can't be saved from this dilemma. Blake laughed, his hand still very tight around her. "I will for
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.

She couldn't continue reading it and so she kept it away from her.
