Emma Jean woke up in the hospital, her head was bandaged. She blinked several times before her eyes focused on the bright lights of the room. There was a warmth radiating from her arm. She looked to see what was causing it. Kenji was holding her arm; his head was resting on the bed. Emma jean groaned trying to move her hand. That caused Kenji to stir. He turned his head in a different direction. Emma jean smiled softly at him. Her heart was thumping loudly in her chest. “Kenji? Wake up. My arm is numb.”Kenji stirred some more. He mumbled in his sleep. “Five more minutes mom. Mmm.”She giggled. He looked innocent with his eyes closed. His long lashes seemed to dance against his cheeks. His hair was cut short, shorter than she remembered. Emma Jean wiggled her fingers to get free of his grasp. Once she could feel her hand was freed, she brushed them over his unblocked cheek. “Kenji, how can you be so defenseless?”“Becaus

Kieran was booked for conspiracy charges. He sat in the jail cell trying to figure out how he ended up here. If he hadn’t made a deal with the devil. He wouldn’t be here. He wished to go back in time to warn Emma Jean about the woman that was after her. It was all too late. He had to wait until he was arraigned and his lawyer contacted. The cell next to him was opened then closed. He looked over to see who would be his neighbor. The very woman that caused this mess was there. He narrowed his eyes. “Shannon you have a lot of nerve saying I told you to do this.”She gave him a wicked smile and shrugged her shoulders. “Meh, so what. I may have pushed you into helping me but if I’m going to take her down. I plan to take everyone close to her down.” Turning her back to him she cackled. Kieran sighed he wished an officer heard this farce of a conversation. He wasn't thinking about the fact they didn’t have much com

Kieran's story isn't over yet. Follow the Disgraced Assistant as he learns of his past and find true love of his own. Kieran stood there looking at the towering rides once more. The smell of sweet treats filled his nose. He took a deep breath hoping to cement the smells, the feeling, and the look of the place. This was his final time, he would be leaving this place. Not only was he fired, he lost nearly everything. A single tear rolled down his cheek. A decade he had given to her,  and to the park. He had lost the trust of his best friend by being an unknowing accomplice to her attack. Instead of telling her what happened he went along with it for his own selfish wishes.Kieran heft the box higher in his arms. It contained everything he had accumulated during his tenure. Right on top was an award she had given him.  "Worlds best Friend." The trophy seemed to mock him now. He turned forward to see the family car waiting for him. The driver opened the door

Detective Hanson led her to a room. It was devoid of any warmth and color. There to the left was the two-way mirror and only two chairs. At the base of the feet were two half moons welded to the floor. Emma Jean naturally assumed this was to keep prisoners from harming themselves or their visitors. She looked to the detective. “Is this really necessary?”Kenji followed inside the room, leaning against a wall. He spoke before Detective Hanson spoke. “Yes, you don’t know how he will react to you.”Detective Hanson opened the door for another officer to bring in Kieran. “He’s right. We don’t know how either of them will react. It’s better to be safe than sorry.” She nodded her head in understanding. Kieran was just inside the doors now. He looked haggard and unclean. She held her hand up to her nose. A stench reached her before he even sat down. She glared at the detective. “You couldn’t let hi

Emma Jean couldn’t stand it anymore, Shannon acted as if what she did wasn’t wrong. Her hand moved faster than her brain. She raised her hand and slapped her across the face. Her voice was loud and irate when she spoke. “HOW DARE YOU THINK YOU DID GOOD!! You should feel remorse or feel ashamed for what you did to me and for tricking Kieran. Have you no conscious? Or couth? You could have killed me. I’m all my mom has in this world now. You would have taken her last child away from her because you’re a deranged psychopath?”Kenji grabbed her and physically restrained her. Detective Hanson stood in front of Shannon to keep her from being hurt further. He sighed and wiped his hand down his face. Her lawyer was going to crucify them for this. The sounds that could be heard in the small room were Emma Jean’s panting and then the hearty laughter coming from behind him. He looked back and seen her bending forwards laughing her head off. The
