LOGINJULIAN'S POVIt was morning and I had already made my arrangements to go to the station to visit Cassandra and Theodore. I aimed to interrogate them about their actions. I thought of going to meet Emilia first before living but I already instructed Gifford to do the job for me. Gifford was the right person I thought would take good care of Emilia. He was a good man and also a friend to me so there is no harm entrusting him. So I went to the station. On my arrival I was greeted by all my colleagues. They appreciated my stay at the station and I really loved them so much. With not much delay, I went to the cell where the both of them were and called them out. “Just take a look at your life now, how you have scattered it and entangled yourself with this ruthless person, what were you really thinking?” I asked in my voice low and menacing. “Honestly I'm genuinely sorry about my actions. I allowed myself to be deceived. I'm truly sorry, Julian, please,” Cassandra pleaded. “I think I w
EMILIA'S POVJulian held my hands as he escorted me into the car. I expected him to know all along that I was just putting this to a play but he acted ignorant and dragged me until we reached the car. “Are you going to say what's on your mind or you are just going to keep acting like nothing happened?” I said, breaking the silence. He turned to me immediately . The reaction on his face showed he was aggressive so I had to seek more. “What do you want me to say? I mean how else do you expect me to react to what you just did?” He asked with a surge of anger. “Is that the right question for you to ask me right now?” I was disappointed. “Just stop all this drama and let's go home. It's obvious you haven't even seen your house in months now; you should be home as fast as possible,” Julian responded. Where we were was a crowded place so I would rather not rush too many things. For now I needed us to talk privately. Currently Julian was the only one I could trust but they are trying to
EMILIA'S POVThe lady was lying down on the ground, struggling with the pain she had in her arm. I stared at her smiling. “I won't be taken to jail, you know that, right? I'm just a mad woman,” I laughed dearly. To me at least, I was able to have my revenge a little. I was there with her until the other maids came in. “What's really going on here?” One of them asked. “Oh my God, there is blood all over the ground,” another told.Immediately after their questions, I knew this was the perfect moment to act up. “What really happened to me? What's really going on with me?” I said as the lady still continued screaming in pain. “Madam, how could you do such a thing to her? What really came over you?” The nurse asked. “I'm sorry, but I really didn't know what I was doing. I didn't know what came over me. Please, I need Julian. I want to be discharged. I would rather not cause any more harm to any other person,” I spoke hastily. One of them ran out immediately; it was obvious that the c
EMILIA'S POVI was there with the nurse. I stared at them for a while without saying anything to them. I was bored lying down, repeating the same view I had until I was tired, and I had to say something. “You have been sitting there for a while without saying anything or even standing up to take a walk or air; why don't you get up and go outside?” You said. “Don't worry about anything, okay? I'm just fine the way I am,” the nurse replied. “But I'm not fine with you staying there looking at me like something wrong happened,” I yelled. “Ma, please, I'm sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable, but actually I'm just serving my job. I really can't leave here because of you unless I'm instructed to do so,” the nurse replied gently. “Are you serious? So you're saying your job is all over me and making me feel uncomfortable is your job? I'm really amazed. If you can't leave here right now, I'm going to call the emergency on you,” I spoke. “Madam, please try to understand me. I really don'
JULIAN'S POVAfter receiving all the prescriptions from the doctor, I left there heartbroken and went to meet Jasper, who was patiently waiting for me outside.He saw my reaction and was concerned about what happened. “You really look ordinary; what happened there?” Jasper questioned.I exhaled; I was tired of saying a word to him. I just went ahead walking alongside him.“Are you going to continue avoiding me or just say the reason you are like this?” Jasper asked again.“I just want to think,” I muttered.“You and I know that if you just continue like this, it won't do you any good. I've told you countless times that a problem shared is always a problem solved. You went into the doctor's office with a hint of a smile, but now you are coming out, and your face is all messed up. What's really the problem with you?” Jasper demanded.&ldquo
JULIAN'S POVI was really surprised with Emilia’s scream; she really drew a lot of attention in the passage. I had to calm her down and went to respect the call the doctor gave me. “I'm here now,” I muttered to the doctor. “Okay, thank you for coming. Honestly, I sincerely appreciate it because you would help in reducing the matter because Emilia's condition might make everything worse,” the doctor said. With his words, I knew something might be wrong somewhere. “What really happened? Does it have something to do with screaming earlier? Because honestly, your words to me are really getting me disturbed,” I spoke. “Actually her condition is even worse than I thought it would be; it's obvious that she really had a critical experience, and that led to her mental illness,” the doctor said, his voice low and menacing. “What?” I exclaimed. “That's just it; I'm telling nothing but the truth here,” the doctor responded. “How come? How could it have happened? Was it that serious that it

JULIAN’S POVI knew that bastard was going to show up, which was exactly why I was in the apartment. “Emilia..” He rushed in and engulfed her in a hug the minute she opened the door. Seeing his hands all over her made something snap in my chest but I pressed it down, knowing this wasn’t the best t
EMILIA’S POV Julian was extremely careful and slow with the kiss, like he was giving me enough time to stop him. But I didn’t. God help me, I didn’t. Instead, I let his hand gently slide against my cheek while his lips moved against mine with a terrifying familiarity. My body reacted to his touch
EMILIA’S POVI slept through the entire plane ride back to the States. Seven hours of well needed rest. Julian had woken me up and walked me through the airport toward his waiting vehicle. His driver drove us straight to his neighborhood. I assumed he was bringing me back to his home, which I didn'
