Emma Jean pretended to call for him to come back. “No, come back. We have work to do.” She laughed when he looked back at her with a raised eyebrow.
The other women joined in on their laughter except the one that threatened her. She clicked her tongue and stormed off. Kenji went out to the backyard where the children were playing. It appeared they were in the middle of freeze tag. He announced his presence with a question. “So, who do I have to stay away from in order to win?”
All the kids surrounded him giving him a big group hug. Alexia was the one to chime in and answer his question. “Yourself. Wouldn’t be fair if you ran from us. Come on lets all run from Kenji.” The soon ran off in different directions to keep him from freezing them in place. Kenji roared as he chased after them.
Kieran had gotten Sam to take him to the location Emma Jean’s phone was resting at. He had all the information and documents that sh

Emma Jean stood there with her hands covering her mouth. Tears weโre streaming down her eyes. She was in shock, words failed her at that moment. She could only nod her head yes. โYou will?โ She finally found her voice. โYes! Donโt be ridiculous.โ Kenji picked her up, spinning her around. โYou have no idea how happy that makes me.โ He peppered her face in kisses. โCome with me.โ He put her down on the porch. Rummaging through his pants pocket he pulled out the keys to the house. He headed straight to unlock the door. When he looked at her, she was confused. A tiny smile formed on his lips. โWhatโs this?โ โJust follow me. I promise itโll be worth your while.โ He took her hand and lead her up the stairs. The sound of their footsteps echoed in the unfurnished house. They reached the top of the steps. Kenji took her to the master bedroom. There he opened the door and stood just at the entrance. Inside, were Sandra and Rowan holding a dress
Emma Jean looked in the rearview mirror to see his head disappeared. She got concerned and was about to get out of the car when he stood back up. She placed her hand to her chest and breathed. When he got in the car, she turned to him. โYou nearly gave me a heart attack?โHe looked puzzled for a moment then realized what she was referring to. โI didnโt disappear or felt ill. Just needed to tie my shoes is all. Is this your way of saying you love me more than air?โShe turned away from him, folding her arms over her chest. โI didnโt say that.โโYouโre so cute when you pout.โโYou'll be cute with a swollen lip?โKenji started the car. And sounded overly cheerful. โDoes that mean your going to kiss me until they are swollen from your love?โEmma Jean couldnโt say anything back after that. She just decided to be quiet and enjoy the ride. Kenji knew what she really meant but nothing could bring him down. He had a plan to give her the romantic proposal she woul
Six months had past since that incident with Shannon. Emma Jean had been sitting in her office working on plans for the parks new attraction while also watching a rough cut of a new movie the company had started to work on. A knock came from her door causing her to look up. She smiled when he entered the office. โWhat are you doing here?โ Kenji was dressed up in a suit and carrying a mixed bouquet. Roses, carnations, lilies, daisies, and babyโs breath were wrapped in an elegant purple paper. โI came to see the most beautiful woman in the world.โ She smiled at him and looked down at her swollen belly. โYou only say that because Iโm pregnant and hormonal. Youโre trying to appease me first thing.โ He handed her the flowers then stole a kiss from her lips. โNot at all. I really believe you are the most beautiful woman in the world. And you are all mines.โ She took the flowers and placed them on her desk. She smiled while looking at him. She couldn
Emma jean had hoped that would keep her occupied long enough to get out of the house safely so the police could handle her but as soon as she reached the door to turn it a shot rang close to her ear. She looked to see a bullet hole in the corner of the door’s hinges. She turned around to see Shannon barely standing. She sent a silent prayer up to her daddy for making sure she had a learned some defensive moves. “That was the last bullet in the chamber you know.”Shannon held the gun up weakly while still holding onto her stomach. “You think I didn’t load the bullets back in the chamber? You would be stupid if you thought otherwise.”Emma jean looked from the door handle to Shannon. Her eyes were slightly narrowed as she raised her eyebrows. “You wouldn’t have had enough time to load them.”“You want to test that theory?” She stood up straighter an pointed the gun towards her.“So you&
Detective Hanson sighed. This wasnโt an ideal hostage situation but nothing is ideal when you have mentally disturbed people involved. He scratched his head with free hand. โOk, so youโll let his parents and Emma Jean go?โ Emma jean answered for herself. โNo, Kenji needs to reject me in front of her. I have to stay. Just worry about his parents and not about me.โ โYes, she understands the situation so donโt get in our way. Once he tells me he loves me and not her then we can all end this as peacefully as we can. Donโt try anything funny.โ Detective Hanson gulped knowing what the end result would be. โWe wonโt. Iโm sending someone in now.โ He motioned for one of his men to go forward unarmed to get the couple. The man knocked on the door and opened it. He walked into seeing Emma Jean being held with a gun to her head. Her hands were balled into a fist. He thought he seen something but shook his head. Shannon motioned to the kitchen. โHurry and
Shannon angled her head to the left. Her eyebrow was arched. โDid you just threaten me?โ Her voice raised with each word. He realized just a bit too late that he fucked up. โShannon, no I didnโt threaten you. I just want my dad to be there for when we get married. You donโt have any family, do you? Wouldnโt you want him to walk you down the aisle?โ He was hoping that would make her think logically about it. โOh, youโre right. I want to be as close to my in laws to the point where they think of me as the daughter they never had.โ She raised the gun to her lips while smiling. โBut you did threaten me so you need to be punished.โ She raised her hand in the air that wielded the gun and struck him across the side of his face. Kenji crumpled to the ground. She hit him hard enough to be knocked unconscious. Sandra screamed. โKenji? Kenji? Wake up honey please?โ โOh, shut up mom. Heโs fine you shouldnโt worry so much.โ She took the bandana that she was holdin
Kenji stepped in front of Emma Jean. He put himself in front of Shannon to keep her from firing. He wanted to know where his parents were. “Shannon? Where are my parents?”“Aww you’re more concerned about them than that little bitch. Then maybe you should move out of the way so that I can just end her miserable life.”Emma Jean wanted to say something but knew that it would only aggravate her even more. Kenji shook his head. “No, we’re talking about my parents. What did you do with them? I know you wouldn’t hurt them.”“Of course, I wouldn’t. Unless they said something so disgusting as that thing being their daughter in law over me. Tell me the truth you don’t love her. You can’t see yourself with her?”Emma Jean gently tugged on his shirt trying to get his attention. Wanting to tell him it was ok if he diminished his feelings for her to calm Shannon down. Kenji may have u
They were in the middle of their second movie when the storm seemed to ease enough for them to head back to his parents place. The two of them looked at each other. It was silent except for the sounds of the movie playing in the background. Emma Jean was about to say something when Kenji received a message from an unknown number.[Your parents are really nice.] a picture was attached with the back of his parents in the frame showing.Kenji bolted right up. Not sure who it was or who was in his house. He sent a reply back. [Who is this?] He started to call his mom first. It rang several times before going to voicemail. He tried the house phone it made a loud screeching sound signaling it was off the hook. He tried his mothers cell again. Nothing.Emma Jean looked at him worriedly. “What’s going on? You look panicked?”Before he could answer another text came in. [its just your soulmate. Your parents think im the better match for you now.
