What they never knew Care to tell me....
I had not exactly thought he was going to take the news lightly, knowing him. I would not exactly know him. He only turned out to be like this when we were not together. The Charles I knew before was a sweet person that you'll love to be with every single time. But not this one. As I had expected, he did not take it lightly and he had been blowing up my phone ever since. I knew what I did had consequences and I was ready to face it. If only it meant that it gets him my trail. The weekend was not the best for me. I could not get enough sleep and rest. The only relief I got was the fact that I stayed at Adeline's place throughout the weekend, so I had plenty of time to play with Charlie. What he said that day had been on my mind throughout. Both guilt and anger have been my companions ever since that day. Guilt because I did not tell him he had a daughter now that I had the chance. Anger because he did not even have the right to claim her as his daughter. He left her alone. I hate t
What they never knew Ask your mother
The whole room fell dead silent. Not a sound from either of us after his voice rang out. If a pin was dropped by mistake, the sound would resonate throughout the whole room. His presence was so intimidating that even the biggest man would be scared at the stance he took. I did not expect him to show up this soon after I had sent the email over an hour ago. I could not hide the fact that he scared me. I can't even look at his face. "I asked you a question, Gwen. Why did you screen my calls?" He asked again and this time with more intensity than from earlier. I was about to muster up courage to reply to him when Tam spoke up. "And why do you think she's expected to pick your calls, Mr Emmett?" She said in a confrontational tone and she was in front of me this time as if to shield me. I really hope she does not say anything concerning the conversation we were having before he came in. "It will be in your best interest not to get in between us right now, Miss Brooks. This is…." "I
What they never knew What did you do, mother?
The drive back to my office was quick and faster than I expected. It was my driver that alerted me that we had reached out destination. I was lost in my own thoughts. And they were not good ones. I felt like there was a pressure behind my eyes and my head would explode soon if I did not do anything about it. I stalked to my office and when I reached, my secretary mentioned to me that I had a package. But I zoned him out and walked in. I sank into my chair behind the table and put my hand on my forehead with pressure as if to minimize the pain. There was a brown envelope on the table but I dismissed it and my thoughts went back to what happened today. I could not bring myself to believe whatever it was she was saying. It felt too unreal and impossible. And I knew it was impossible. Everything she said there was a lie. I just had to make myself believe that it was. My mind and brain knew that she had to have sprung some lies together for her to live with herself after what she had
What they never knew I don't want to meet you here
The car ride back home was brutal. I didn't know how I got myself home but I did. I stumbled inside the house after I got off the elevator. I was not expecting to meet Margret at the house but she was there. She's been all over me since I got back into the house asking me what had happened to me but I just could not stop thinking about what just happened. And what happened was actually nothing. My mother did not say anything. She just insisted on her old story of Gwen removing the baby and the fact that she told her that she doesn't love me anymore. She also continued that she had given her the ring that I had given to her which she returned to me. I knew there was more to the story given the fact that there is a picture and very clear and glaring evidence that this was my child. And it was with Gwen. I really wanted to know what was going on and it took all that was within me not to actually go back to Gwen and make her tell me the whole thing and why she was insisting that I had
What they never knew What are you doing here, Mr Emmett?
Tam has not left me alone since what happened between me and Charles in the office yesterday. Funny how we both called in sick at the same time. But no one could say anything or query either of us since we were literally the bosses. My appetite was gone. I've not been able to stomach anything. Even if I tried, it all came back up and I'd vomit everything back. I can't fathom what he was trying to do yesterday. Rile me up unnecessarily and make me relive the pain of what had happened to me in the past? Make me remember the fact that his mother almost killed me and my child? Or the one where he had left me for another woman saying he played with me? When Tam went to sleep yesterday, I went to my drawer and pulled out the letter he wrote to me. His last words to me all of those years ago. The ring he gave me was still with me. I don't know why I couldn't find it in myself to throw all of those things away. I've tried so many times not to go back to them, but I still do it. I read th
What they never knew Why did you lie to me, Princess?
“What are you doing here?” I spoke up before I thought too much. We might as well get this over with and he left. Tam was beside me, her hands folded together. She looked very intimidating right now and I would not want to be on the receiving end of her glare right now. Her height and all if that gave her more edge. Made her look like a bodyguard who was protecting her clent. “We need to talk.” Was all he replied to me with. I was expecting that he'd come sooner or later to talk. But not this soon. Since I had told him to ask his mother about what had happened between us in the past. Maybe he told him what happened? Or he knew all along and just decided to play fool. There was something in the way he spoke that made me look at him very well now. He looked haggard. Not in his clean cut whatever he had worn yesterday. He looked like he did not get a wink of sleep and his eyes were red. Not like I cared but it was just hard to pass by. “There is nothing to talk about, Mr Emmett. I a
What they never knew We need to talk
She was gone. And panicking big time. I felt like I should do something. Anything. But I could not bring myself to. I was only looking at her. And I did not like what I saw at all. She was white as sheet. She looked like she'd pass out. She was nothing like the woman I saw the other time who I felt would bite my head off if I made the wrong move. The woman that would have my head if I did but mistake say the wrong words. She was like a shell if herself right now. She looked like she was scared of me. She was visibly shaking. And the only thought that could go through my head right now is that she was scared. Of me. Or maybe of the fact of what I might do if things went South. Maybe she thinks I'm here to take her. I was. The plan before was to take the issue to court and take custody of my child back and probably blame her for keeping the fact that our child did not die then away from me. But then after I learnt about what my mother did to her, I could not even bring myself to
What they never knew She's mine, not ours
I was fuming. I was angry. At everything. At what he was saying and the fact that he wanted to talk. I didn't want to give him the time of the day at all but at this point, with the way he was acting clueless like he did not understand what I was saying at all, I really wanted to listen to whatever he had to say. “What? Do you have any other things to add to what I just said? Or maybe there is another surprise I do not know about.” I said to him sarcastically. He did not look angry in the slightest. His expression was just blank. He's been doing a lot of blank expressions recently. Looking at him now, he looked kind of unkempt. In the sense that his hair was disheveled, there were stubbles on his jaw which made it clear that he had not shaved for a few days now. He looked like he had not slept at all which made his eyes look unclear. “Can you hear me out?” “If I had the chance, I would not even be standing in the same space as you right now. Say whatever you think you have to say
