The Return of an Old Past

The morning light was pale and uncertain, filtering through the curtains of Emily's bedroom like a half-formed thought. She had barely slept, after the confrontation with Carl, the photograph of Emilia and her father and the promise to travel tonight, it all churned in her mind, refusing to settle into anything resembling peace.We were about to set off to find my father when my phone rang out gingerly again. She was sitting at the kitchen island, a cup of coffee growing cold in her hands, when her phone buzzed.The number was unfamiliar.She almost ignored it. But, there were too many calls these days, one could hardly tell who was which, reporters, investors, lawyers, strangers with opinions about her crumbling empire. But something made her hesitate. Something about the number felt... old. Familiar in a way she couldn't name.She answered."Hello?""Emily? Is that you?"The voice was weathered, fragile, but unmistakable, the voice she had grown up with all those years in the past a

The Haunting Memory

Aunt Geraldine sighed. "Your Cousin Belin died last week in a car accident. His burial is scheduled for Friday." The news hit Emily like a physical blow. Her cousin Belin, the boy who had made her childhood a living nightmare. The one who had tormented her, humiliated her, hurt her in ways she still couldn't speak about. She remembered her young days in high school, the early ones, he had been her ultimate bully, making sure school was a place she dreaded, and in senior high school, there was the event that had nearly crushed her. ******************************" It was a Saturday evening, and Belin, her aunt's son, had called a party at the house. Half the school had attended. Emily could have endured being treated as a maid which she was. She scrubbed drinks off the floor, served the big boys who attended assorted arrays of alcohol, and just when she thought the worst he could do was land her a dirty slap out of drunkenness, because the last set of drinks had arrived late,

The Days After

That night had ended up ugly, they had r*ped her together, the four of them, with the door bolted. When she was out for the room,the next few days, she'd bled for three days straight, walking patchy from her bruised p*ssy. And her aunt, his mother, had defended him every step of the way.She had never forgiven Kerry for his ruthlessness, she never would which reminded her, she still had a lot of enemies to deal with.**********************Her breathing was shaky as she relived the memory. "I'm sorry for your loss," Emily said the words automatic, hollow, she couldn't be happy, it was death, yet it satisfied her that it was for him. "You don't mean that." "No," Emily admitted with an edge to her voice. "I don't."Aunt Geraldine was quiet for a long moment. When she spoke again, her voice was softer. "I know what he did to you, Emily. I know I should have stopped him. I know I failed you. And I've carried that guilt every single day." Emily's throat tightened. "Then why didn't you

A Mistaken Identity

The drive was long and silent. Emily watched the rows of trees slide by sitting in the passenger seat, her eyes fixed on the road ahead, her mind churning with a thousand questions as usual.He was going to take her to her father, allegedly the root of all her problems in ways she could not see.Beside her, Carl drove with a confidence that made her sit back tight, like she was sure of what he was doing, his hands steady on the wheel, his jaw set with determination. He seemed certain of where they were going, certain of what they would find."You seem very sure about this," Emily said finally, breaking the silence.Carl glanced at her. "I am.""How? I've spent years searching for any trace of my father. Private investigators. Public records. Everything, even my childhood. And you..." She shook her head. "You've been investigating for what, a few weeks? And suddenly you've found him?"Carl's grip tightened on the steering wheel. "I had help.""From who?"He didn't answer immediately. W

Coincidence? I think not.

The drive back was agonizing.Emily stared out the window, her reflection a ghost in the glass. The grandeur of the mansion had faded, replaced by the cold reality of another dead end. Another false lead. Another moment of hope crushed by the weight of disappointment.Carl tried several times to speak, but Emily cut him off each time."I don't want to hear it," she said finally. "Not now. Not ever.""Emily, I really believed...""I know what you believed." Her voice was sharp, cutting. "You believed in a fantasy and lies. And you dragged me along with you and I was a fool to listen. You could've never have known him, not as the non-chalant crook of a husband and definitely not as a loser ex desperate for redemption!"Carl fell silent, his hands gripping the steering wheel tight. He was in no position to speak, in no position to oppose her.When they finally arrived at Emily's house, she didn't wait for him to park. She opened the door and stepped out, her movements brisk and final."P

Nicole Gets the Results

By the time Emily returned home, exhaustion had completely overtaken her, she turned the car keys off the ignition, the weight of the day clinging to her like a second skin, but the moment she stepped through the door, Nicole was there, resting on the golden chaise lounge at a corner of the room. His position had reminded her of their first kiss, it was right there but nowadays, trouble had been the hallmark of her life.His sharp eyes softened instantly at the sight of her."How was the investigation?""Not bad, he showed me a photo" Emily said pulling out and old monochrome image and shoving it at his hands, as a maid helped her with her coat.Nicole looked long and hard at it, flipping it over between his fingers, once with a little shrug."Hmm, I don't know him"Emily grabbed a glass of wine and settled on a nearby sofa."The bastard, I told you about""Kerry? Your cousin?""Nah. Belin's dead. It's Kerry""What? I knew it. These rapist often end up serial killers. So, he came afte

A Night of Passion

Carl replayed the mansion as his car zoomed off, the guards’ blank faces, the way Emily had looked at him, like he was crazy, like he’d lied to her again.Back at the house, the rain was only a distant patter against the windows. Emily and Nicole had moved to the bedroom, clothes already shed in a heated trail across the floor. Nicole’s hands roamed her body with reverence and hunger, cupping her breasts, thumbs circling her hardening nipples until she gasped into his mouth. He swallowed gently, pinched the outer edges and flicked it is with the tip in his fingers until, she spared his mouth and whimpered desperately. Then he kissed her again, deeply, tongue stroking hers as he pressed her down onto the bed.Dropping her to the bed, he went over to a nearby dresser and obtained some clips and ice in a bowl. Emily knew at once that it was another night to remember. Maybe not all days had to be filled with gunshots, kidnaps, ruthless investors and assassins.Carl pounded the wheel once

Emilia's Supermart

The morning had started with a simple promise.Leslie had been asking for his favorite cornflakes for days, the ones with the colorful mascot on the box, the ones that seemed to disappear from shelves the moment they were stocked. Emily had promised to surprise him with a box when he returned from school. It was a small thing, a tiny gesture of normalcy in a life that had become anything but normal.She had no idea it would lead her here.The first supermarket was a dead end."Sorry, ma'am. We've been out for weeks. Supplier issues." came the reply.The second was worse, they didn't even know the product, so they referred her."Try the store on Fifth Avenue. They might still have some."The third, the fourth, the fifth, they were all the same. The shelves were either empty shelves or the store was full of apologetic clerks. A growing sense of frustration made Emily's jaw tighten with each failure.She was about to give up when a young stock clerk at the sixth store offered a glimmer o

The Checkout

Emily finished her shopping quickly. She'd gotten cornflakes, milk, bread, a few other essentials. She carried her items to the checkout counter, her cart heavy with the spoils of her small victory.The cashier was a young woman with tired eyes and a nervous smile. She scanned the items quickly, efficiently, her movements practiced and automatic."That will be forty-two fifty, ma'am."Emily handed over her card. The transaction went through. The receipt printed and stamped by the registrar.The cashier began bagging the groceries.Then, a loud voice froze her instantly."Stop."Emilia appeared again, her heels clicking against the polished floor. Her face was calm now, too calm. The kind of calm that preceded a storm."I'm sorry?" Emily said."I said stop." Emilia said reaching out to the counter quickly and snatching the bag from the cashier's hands. Before Emily could react, she emptied the contents onto the floor.The cornflakes box burst open. The milk carton split, white liquid p

The Invite

The humiliation at Emilia's supermarket burned in Emily's chest like a live coal.She had spent the drive home replaying the scene, how the cornflakes had shattered, the spilled milk, how she had refused to refund her payment for the groceries and the cold laughter of her sister as security guards dragged her out like a common thief. The rage had been white-hot at first, blinding and consuming. But by the time she reached her driveway, the anger had cooled into something sharper. Something more dangerous. She had saw something on a shelve, a product with a mutilated expiration date. Only now, it was less the time to cry and more the time to find out why because at this point, about any information will be useful in making Emilia regret and uncovering the scandal at her firm.She didn't need revenge, she had to understand what was going on first.Emily had learned long ago that the people who destroyed you were rarely the ones you expected. They were the ones who knew you best. The one
