Helen looked at Eric's facial expression. She knew he had been expecting a better response and she wished she had it for him."She liked you a lot," Helen said as she stared at him.Eric looked up from what he had been doing."She always talked about you. She wouldn't stop telling me about the cute guy she met. She said you were smart, nice and cool. She always looked forward to you meeting," Helen said smiling as she remembered all the days Emma spoke about Eric."She was so nervous to tell you how she felt. She wasn't sure that you felt the same and on the day you kissed her!! She wouldn't stop talking about it," Helen said and Eric smiled too as memories of He and Emma flooded his head again."I love her and I haven't even been able to say it to her. I hope it's not late because now it seems like there is nothing I can do,""I had never seen her so broken like the day she found out you were getting married. She was always so strong, always looked after everyone but herself and I re

Eric decided to go to Helen's place and congratulate her about winning the court case. He didn't want to drive so he called on Alfred, his mum's driver."Alfred, please I will like to get to Emma's place. It's on my way to work," He said."Alright Sir,"He got into the car and as he was carried away with his phone, he suddenly remembered that he had not described the place to Alfred but Alfred was already at the house."I didn't describe this place to you, how did you get to know the place?" Eric asked confused as he and Alfred waited in the car before getting down.Alfred didn't know what to say. Lieing would have been his first option but he knew that no matter what he said, Eric was going to see through him."I brought your mum here," Alfred said and Eric looked confused."When was that?" He asked"Some couple of months ago.""What did she come to do?""I don't know sir but I think she came to see the girl."Eric's mind immediately went back to a couple of months ago and how Emma

Emma walked out into the living room, she was excited. The editor had called her that her book was ready and she had posted it online for people to preorder for the book. Publicity had started and with the help of the publisher, it seemed to be going on well. Henry noticed how excited and different Emma was this morning. He knew about the book being done and with the tension that had been between them for the past couple of days, he wasn't sure how to engage her.He and Emma hadn't really spoken about the fight they had the other day and had just continued on. No one wanted to bring it up and left to Eric, he felt it was all probably for the best.Emma made a sandwich and sat on the dinning table while Henry made a stair fry noodles."It all finally coming together. The book and everything I have always dreamt of," Emma said and Eric sat opposite her on the dinning table."You deserve everything and more. And I really feel this is only just the beginning of your happy ending." "A

Eric, Helen and her mum got to the city were Emma was. Helen and her mum decided to go over to were Emma was staying with Henry. Eric, however decided to stay in an hotel. The book reveal was till the next day. Helen had tried convincing him to at least show himself to Emma today, but he said he wasn’t ready yet.Eric settled in the hotel and as millions of thoughts crossed his mind about what could happen, when he eventually sees Emma. He tried his best to stay positive and hoping for the best that could happen.In the evening, Eric set out to explore the town a bit. It was a small town and you could easily get around and the locals were supper nice.Eric went into one of the bookshops to see if Emma’s books had been stocked yet. He was passing through, when he saw when of the workers stocking it on the shelf. He stopped by the shelf. The worker turned to him.“It’s a new book by a new author. I think it’s a pretty good read,” she said.“I am sure it is,” Eric smiled as he picked o

ONE YEAR LATER Emma adjusted the black gown she was wearing, putting her hair up in a bun. She moved closer to the mirror, applying a lipstick and a bit of foundation. She was never the type of girl who knew how to do a make-up so she did the little that she could, once every now and then. She put on her black heels, picked up her red purse to brighten the outfit. She walked out into the living room where her mum and sister were at."You look so beautiful darling," her mum said. "You really do," Helen added.Emma sat next to Helen on the dinning area. She had moved back home after the book reveal with her mum and Helen.They had moved away from their former apartment into a much nicer one. With the money Helen had gotten from the lawsuit and the fact that they had promoted her mum at work, they had more than enough.Although, most of the money Helen had gotten had gone into charity because she believed that was the best thing to do with the money, they still had some left."I
