52 Chapters

The beginning of a life.

Chapter One Emily I had that dream again. The one where I was thirteen again, sitting in the backseat, engrossed in my favorite game, Sniper Assassin, on my tablet while my parents laughed and shared jokes in the front. “You turn me on!”Esther chortled in excitement, her laughter filling the air as she and my father sang along to Michael Jackson’s "The Way You Make Me Feel"—my mother’s favorite song. She always said it reminded her of him. Though my dad focused on the road, he still managed to dance in his seat to the beat. It was a lovely sight to behold, one I would never forget anytime soon. I could smell the familiar scent of lavender and cinnamon that clung to her clothes and her laughter resounded in the car. The time was almost ten o'clock, the road was quiet but then my parents loved late-night drives. They said it was more peaceful. The only light on the street was coming from the headlights and billboards. I was supposed to feel scared but being with my parent

A sign

Chapter Two. Mason Life was exhausting for me. I leaned back against the couch, releasing a sigh. I’d spent the entire night on my computer, analyzing data and organizing my work. If I was going to start my own company soon, I knew I’d need to lay the groundwork now. A headache reminded me that I desperately needed sleep—I hadn’t closed my eyes once all night, driven by a determination to wrap up this project. On top of that, the other side jobs I took on to support myself and Madison were exhausting. Sometimes I kept asking myself when all these sleepless nights would end. All I wanted to do was to close my eyes for at least a few hours and dive into sleep. But the second I started to doze Madison stormed into the room, her hands akimbo, a familiar angry expression on her face. "How can you sleep when we're about to lose the roof over our heads?" I forced my eyes open, fearing what I already knew was coming. “what's going on Maddie?” “The landlord came by today,”

A bright idea

Chapter threeEmilyAll I could see was clouds.Bright lights nearly blinded me the moment I opened my eyes. Everything around me seemed to blur and shift as I struggled to understand my surroundings. Slowly, my vision cleared. I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain in my back stopped me, my body sore and painful, reminding me of the accident I'd just survived.I tried to move my arm but felt a slight tug and looked down, only to see a needle in my vein connected to a drip. Confusion filled me, and my head felt heavy as if it were weighed down by a thousand unanswered questions.How did I get here in the first place?My gaze rested on a young man who sat beside my bed, his head tilted forward, his mouth slightly opened as if he had fallen asleep. I tried to speak but my voice came out rough like sandpaper, barely audible to the ears. "H-hello?" I began trying to catch his attention.The young man’s head shot up, his eyes meeting mine. Immediately relief washed over his face. “Thank God

Heart break hurts!

Chapter Four Mason She has the most beautiful laugh; they could light up the whole room. I stood by the fireplace, watching Emily laugh as she hugged her mother, Esther, and exchanged pleasantries with who I perceived to be her uncle. She called him ‘Uncle Robert’ a few times. I couldn’t help but look around my surroundings: the marble floors and expensive paintings on every wall, the high ceiling, and a big chandelier at the center of the hall. It was like a house from a Hollywood movie,I had known she was well-to-do from the moment I pulled her out of a sleek Porsche but this mansion confirmed that “well-to-do” was an understatement. And now that she would be taking over White Nova Robotics as CEO soon, it felt so unreal I was speaking with such a powerful personality. White Nova had always been the company I wanted to work in before I built mine, this was all too much to take in. I was tempted to pinch myself to see if I wasn't dreaming but that would only make me look weird.

Nostalgia

Chapter Five EmilyImmediately after Mason left, I was left alone in the spacious living room with my mother, Esther, and my Uncle Robert.My mother hadn't changed at all; her warm, expressive brown eyes were just as I remembered, and her skin remained smooth and creamy. There might have been a slight hint of bags under her eyes, but she still looked as graceful and elegant as when I left home to go overseas.My Uncle Robert still looked as sophisticated as ever, he didn't age, he only put on a few pounds, and he still had the most piercing blue eyes.It was still a bit weird to be back home again, especially with everything that had happened to me earlier. The accident and the brief amnesia I had suffered from but their warmth made me almost forget about the throbbing headache that threatened to split my head into two.My mother held my hands and smiled at me, her eyes shining bright like the stars.“Look at how grown you have become Emily!” Esther cheered gazing at me in surprise.

Hush! Its a new day.

Chapter SixMasonThe alarm woke me up again, with a familiar reminder that I was single again. I felt a dull ache in my chest, the kind of pain that was hard to let go. I stared at the phone on the wooden table beside me feeling a strong urge to pick up the phone and dial her number. I still couldn't get over the fact that Madison and I were over. Three years ago, Madison walked up to me with a seductive smile on her face, her lips painted red and her blonde hair cascaded around her shoulders. She introduced herself to me and asked me to dance with her on the floor. Without hesitating, I accepted even though I sulked at dancing.She held my hand and the fast-playing song transitioned to a slow love song meant for couples. With a gentle tug, she pulled me in, staring into my eyes confessing that I had the most beautiful smile she had ever seen, although her breath reeked of alcohol I couldn't help but blush at her words.It was this night I realized she would be my girl, she was

Don't ruin my day!

Chapter sevenEmilyThe dreams never change, they are always the same.I was thirteen, sitting in the back seat of my parent's car playing video games. My eyes were fixated on the tablet screen.The car was warm and the air smelled like my mom's favorite apple-flavored perfume.Up front, my parents laughed and giggled as Michael Jackson's The Way You Make Me Feel played on the radio.My mother is always off-key but singing with so much confidence blew me off, making me smile and my dad tapped the steering wheel rhythmically in time with the beat.But this time, it was different, the game I was playing became darker and a strange and eerie quiet descended in the atmosphere. My parents didn't drop me off at Uncle Roberts's place, instead, they kept driving towards a cliff and that is when it all happened.I look up just as the world outside turns to a blinding white, my dad lost control of the brakes and the car rolls down the cliff so many times I could feel the car crushing my bones.

Disappointment awaits me!

Chapter 8Mason I stared into her eyes and the only thing that registered in my brain was that Emily wouldn't touch the ground or even fall in love with me.Someone her caliber wouldn't even notice me, she was pretty, polished, and decent with a rich background.Being CEO at twenty-two was wild, she was a magnet to suitors of her class while I was just someone who saved her life and now she was repaying the favour by letting me work for her.Her gaze was still locked in mine giving me time to notice her brown hair, the way they illuminated by the rays of the sun, and her lips were full and red , they looked untouched like they hadn't been kissed before.I swallowed hard fighting the thought of kissing her, why would I even do that? When I had just gotten out of a relationship yesterday; that was unlike me.I steadied Emily so she could stand upright but then her uncle interrupted this moment by clearing his throat, saying he needed to tell her something in private, I distanced myse

These thoughts don't die

Chapter Nine Emily I stared at the machines, almost rusty and old, I turned them on and they were as loud as the last time I came here, before my father passed away. I turned it off and turned to face Mason, he was standing beside me, a clipboard in hand, patiently waiting for my next move. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair in frustration. “I think we are done for now,” I avowed. “Are you sure Miss Emily?” Mason asked, his face filled with concern. I gave him a warm smile that reached my eyes. “ Yes Mason that would be all for today and,” I paused moving close to him.” You can address me as Emily, enough with the formalities.” Mason nodded curtly, his demeanor calm and respectful. “ Anything you say, Emily, I hope tomorrow is better.” “I hope so too Mason,” I agreed, walking to the door. Mason followed behind me. “Don't be discouraged by the turn-up today, hopefully, your uncle Robert will have time to set things up.” I smiled and turned like I had just received insp

The past still haunts me

Chapter Ten Esther I sat in the wheelchair that was positioned near the window so I could feed my eyes on the beauty of nature. My gaze averted from the view outside my garden to the photograph resting on my lap. It was a photo of my dearest husband Owen, he wore a smile on his face, his arms stretching across my shoulders. Little Emily stood between us, she was no older than seven, her small frame wrapped snugly in a yellow sundress, and her smile was wide too, and genuine. I could almost hear the laughter that went along in the moment. I remembered everything as though it had just happened yesterday. “Ready? Say cheese!” the photographer cheered and we all smiled at the camera then the flashing light followed. Owen looked into my eyes and kissed my forehead holding Emily close, I would give anything to see Owen again. I swallowed hard feeling a lump in my throat, tomorrow was going to be his Eighth anniversary and it was hard to accept he died and left me in this cruel world
