Emma shrank from Charlotte’s gaze on her.Just when she was searching for an explanation in her mind.Only then, she noticed Charlotte’s eyes which were red and filled with tears, she blinked and more tears wet her face.Forgetting about her situation, Emma held her and asked anxiously, “What happened to you, Charlotte? Why are you crying?”Charlotte looked at her with sad eyes and then whined in grief, “Last night… Last night, I found out that my husband was cheating… I can’t stay here anymore… I can’t…”Charlotte looked heartbroken, and she kept sobbing in Emma’s arms confessing her heartbreak and shock from her husband’s cheating."I gave him everything... Everything... My love, my trust... and what I got in return... A betrayal..."Emma tried to calm her down and then took her back to their room where she helped her to pack and soon with sad and empty eyes Charlotte left the room.BOOMEmma looked down at her disoriented self and then Charlotte’s words and her memories started to

The fire crackled and spat before hissing into life giving warmth to the people gathered around to celebrate Christmas Eve.In the warm atmosphere, Emma and Jacob were seated on the wooden chairs feeling the joy of Christmas.Emma was wearing a green skirt, an embroidered full sleeves blouse, and a pair of black stockings to save her legs from the chilly wind outside.She has put effort into dressing nicely today.Her hair was cut short, moving freely around her shoulder whenever she moved.On the other hand, Jacob was wearing black pants, a red collared shirt with an open green bow tie looking handsome.Emma beamed with happiness when Jacob asked for the dance, “May I?”Both joined the other couples and started to dance happily.Giggles and laughter filled their atmosphere.Tyme-filled turkeys sizzled with the oven foils took Emma’s attention instantly.Her stomach growled, and they returned to their table.RING … RINGJust when Emma reached the table, she heard her phone ringing, th

Three days spent by.They were the most painful days for Emma but she remained firm on her divorce decision.That decision was necessary to keep a surety of Jacob’s safety from all the mess she planned to get herself into.With shades that covered her eyes, Emma sat with a straight face waiting for Jacob to show up in the court to sign the official divorce papers.Her heart was thumping with each second passing by.TICK … TOCKAnd there, the footsteps were heard and soon Jacob came into her sight.If she would say that he looked the same as before that would be a white lie, he looked terrible, more terrible than she is at the moment.“So, you’re still not changing your decision, Emma?” He looked at her in disappointment and Emma tried her best to not show any raw emotion on her face.“Please sign,” Emma pushed the prepared divorce papers to Jacob and then offered him the pen coldly.Jacob took a deep look at her, he was unable to see her eyes, to see the emotions she was hiding behind

A man-like beast stood at the door.He is huge, with a thick wild beard, his arms were covered with tattoos, his long dark hair was tied in a ponytail, and the scar on his face made him look like an evil man.A purely corrupt man.Before Emma and Jacob were able to inquire about the man’s identity who had entered their home unannounced.The man charged at Jacob and held him in a tight grip.“Leave him…” Emma let out a fretful cry but it was of no use.The scar guy pressed Jacob’s shoulder and forced him to kneel.PAAHe then gave him a few blows so his restless body would stop going out of control.Seeing that the man has no mercy for Jacob, Emma immediately knelt and started begging him for the sake of Jacob’s life.Emma couldn’t understand how Jacob was able to get involved with such a kind of man, what enmity was between them?As far as she knew Jacob, she couldn’t think of any way in which Jacob had offended this guy, even by looking at Jacob’s blank look, Emma could tell that Jac

“Miss Emma Bailey, your husband’s accusations are very severe but there was no proof at all.”A man with a thick mustache in a police uniform blocked Emma’s way before she would enter the ward and meet Jacob.“What did he say?” Emma asked.Her heart started to beat unevenly.“He blamed everything on someone very powerful, Miss…” The officer spoke, his eyes narrowed at Emma.“Who..?” Emma asked slowly.Even when deep inside she knew the answer.“David Cooper… He has related him with some Mafia Leaders… It sounds completely pathetic, Miss, what your husband is blurting out…” The officer looked displeased.Emma looked at him silently, Henry’s warning ringing in her head.She heard the footsteps and watched another police officer walking over, he leaned and whispered something into the other officer’s ear and his eyes darkened.“See, as I said Miss Bailey, your husband has no proof. After his statement, I sent a few officers to check the CCTV footage of your building and they found no one
