Chapter 11It is already past midnight but Emelia could not sleep. She was bothered with incident this morning. How could her and her best friend’s paths crossed again? The woman she bumped with in the fast-food restaurant was Linda. Her only best friend who knows everything about her past and what’s worse, Emerald was there. Even though her daughter did not say anything about her father, she knows that she wanted to meet him and knows him. That is her biggest fear. She wanted to keep Emerald from her father. He should not know about her existence. She is scared that he might not acknowledge her. Emelia knew that he married another woman. He has his own family and she don’t want Emerald to be the pathetic illegitimate daughter that his new family would despise. Much worse, he himself would despise her and denies her. That would be most painful for Emerald and she never wanted her daughter to be hurt. That is the last thing that she wanted to happen to her daughter. But how can she s

Chapter 13“What’s the problem, Emi?” Jason’s question brough Emerald back to her senses.“Nothing.” She denied.“I know you, don’t lie to me. You look like something is bothering you.

Mom was so scared seeing her and that makes sense because she never wants me to know who my father is. So, I was concluding that this woman knows everything about my mom’s past including my father base on her looks yesterday.”“You have a point there but it’s still dangerous, Emi. This person is a stranger and we don’t personally know her.

Chapter 15Now that Emerald got a name, she was very excited. Who would have thought that it was so easy to track down her devil of a father. No, he wasn’t even deserving to be called such. That devil should burn to *lll. She would make sure that he would suffer ten folds than what her and her mother had been through in all those years. All she ever needed was a name, tag Clayton university and voila Emerald saw the male version of her. She looks exactly like him. Her jaw clenched as she saw the man on the screen wearing a suit and tie. There were several pictures of him and all of them were old pictures. Bitterness and anger dwelled inside her as she came up to a family picture of Gerald Clayton, together with his son and wife. She had no idea how to start her vengeance until she saw that happy family of three. An evil grin creeped in Emerald’s cherry lips as an idea came across her mind as if a bulb just lit up on the top of her head. She sneered as she stared at the young teena
