Chapter Thirty One

The sight of the message on the phone caused Emily to question her previous knowledge regarding Damian. The screen displayed the question, "ASK DAMIAN WHY HIS FATHER HAD ONE TOO?" She stared intensely at the text while Sophia observed the image of Ryan bound to a chair. Sophia asked a question, "Emily, what does the message mean?" & Emily moved the phone so she could see it. "It says I should ask Damian why his father had the same pendant" Emily stated. Sophia inspected the image once more. "You said your father had one too" Sophia said. "Yes" Emily stated. Sophia was quiet for a duration before she spoke, "And now they're telling me Damian's father had one" "It means that the three families may have been linked long before you knew anything about it" Sophia said.The phone vibrated with an incoming call from Damian. "Damian, there is something I have to ask you" Emily spoke immediately upon answering. "I was just about to call you" Damian said. "Is Sophia still with you?" "Yes" Emily

Chapter Thirty Two

The heart rate of Emily increased when she read that message."What could he be investigating?" Emily asked.Damian said, "Financial records." "He believed that someone was using shell corporations to transfer money."Emily's thoughts immediately turned to Lucas."Lucas found payments going through businesses connected to Victor," Emily stated.Damian looked at her."Did he tell you that?""Yes," Emily replied. "He has been investigating Carter Holdings."Damian looked back at the picture.Damian remarked, "That could explain why my father was meeting your parents."Sophia noted, "But it doesn't account for Victor.""No, It doesn't." Damian replied.Emily looked at Damian's face."You said earlier that you thought your father had been set up," Emily said. "Why?" She asked.Damian responded, "The money was traced to accounts tied to him, but my father kept insisting that someone had used his name and access." This is because the evidence against him was too convenient."Do you know who

Chapter Thirty Three

Emily could give up anything for her life to go back to normal. She needed a stress-free life. She sat quietly and thought about how one night changed everything about her life. Everything started to fall apart that night she found out Vanessa was sleeping with Ryan. She waited for another message to arrive but it didn't. No picture or warning came in. She thought her phone would ring, but surprisingly; it didn't. Sophia glared at her occasionally as she sat quietly in the passenger seat.“I don't think they are going to send another message this night,” Sophia said as she drove slowly.“They probably figured out that we are not going to stop investigating, no matter what they do,” Emily replied.Emily was tired of investigating. She did not have any more strength to look into any document tonight.Strangely enough, she felt the urge to vomit.She touched her stomach."Are you all right?" Sophia asked, as she observed. "I believe I am," Emily replied in response to Sophia's question.

Chapter Thirty Four

Emily felt dizzy again before she could even get to the elevator. She wondered why this has happened frequently in the past few hours as she closed her eyes with her hand against the wall.As soon as the door of the elevator opened, she walked in and inhaled deeply as soon as the door closed. She just tried to keep her cool in front of Damian because she did not want to be a burden to anyone anymore. She just wanted to live a simple life. She just managed to get out of the elevator and into a cab that she has already called.Sophia had not yet slept by the time that Emily arrived. It is almost as if she was waiting for her to return. “You are welcome,” Sophia said as soon as she walked through the door. “Thank you,” Emily replied. “I hope that both of you discuss something else apart from the investigation,” Sophia asked. “We didn't talk about the investigation. I just wanted it to be a special evening,” Emily said as she smiled.As Emily walked to the bedroom to keep her bag, she fel

Chapter Thirty Five

When Emily read the text message from Ryan's lawyer, she put the phone back in her bag. It is time to put herself first. The old Emily would have suspended going to the hospital and rushed to see what was wrong with Ryan. “We are going to the hospital,” Emily said. “I am happy you decided to put yourself first,” Sophia responded. They stepped into the car and drove to the hospital.Emily did her best to push aside what she felt in her stomach. She could no longer hold it the minute she stepped into the hospital reception because of the scent of germicide. She immediately had the urge to vomit, and she stopped moving immediately and stood still. Sophia understood instantly. “Thank God we are already at the hospital so that they can confirm what exactly is wrong with you,” Sophia said as she held Emily.Emily walked off immediately and sat down on an empty chair because the feeling was getting intense and Sophia followed her. “Don't worry, I will be fine,” Emily said. “That is what you

Chapter Thirty Six

Emily was not prepared for this moment. She has gone through a lot of things recently. Her husband's betrayal that led to the end of their three years marriage and the threats that came with the investigation. But none of those things compared to what she thought she would face in the doctor's office. “Let us go to the hospital right now,” Sophia urged her. Emily agreed and went back to the other room to grab her bag while Sophia collected her car keys.She sat quietly in the car on their way to the hospital. She just wondered why the result would be. When they eventually arrived, the nurse at the reception recognized them and took them straight to the doctor's office. The doctor was already there waiting in his office like he knew they were coming.“Good evening, please have your seats,” the doctor said.Emily moved the chair and sat down anxiously with Sophia gracefully sitting beside her. The nurse handed her folder to the doctor and he opened it and looked at it. “Your test resul

Chapter Thirty Seven

There had never been a time that Damian had called Emily that she was scared to take his calls. Today was an exception. Emily was scared to face Damian or even talk to him because she didn't want him to ask her about the test results. Reading Damian's text message made her more anxious. She thought of what could be so important that Damian wants to tell her. “You know you don't have to reply him if you don't want to,” Sophia told her as she observed her carefully. “It is not that, I will eventually talk to him at some point. I just need some time to think,” Emily replied as she put her phone back in her bag. “Take all the time you need to process this pregnancy. Figure out what you want to do before telling anyone,” Sophia said as she put her arm over Emily's shoulder.Sophia held Emily as they walked out of the doctor's office and out of the hospital into her car. They got into the car and sat quietly without saying anything to each other. Sophia understood that Emily had a lot of pr

Emily realized for the very first time since the Astoria Crown gala, that Damian had a fiance and that he was not the only person to consider when making her decision. There is Olivia, Damian's ex fiance who is still obsessed with him. She read his message over and over and wondered what could be so important that Damian wanted to tell her since yesterday. She decided that she was not ready to face him for now, so she kept the phone in the drawer. It was not yet time to tell him about the pregnancy. She also was not interested to hear what he had to say.

When Damian's voice entered her ears, Emily's heart began to beat quickly."Emily, there's something I need to tell you about Olivia," said Damian.Emily sat on the mattress's side.“What about her?” Emily enquired."She's been getting in touch with me again," Damian stated after a brief silence.Emily's forehead wrinkled. "Why?" Emily questioned.Damian responded, "I have no idea." "She says she wants to talk about our history."Emily dropped her stare. "Are you still seeing her?" Asked Emily."No," Damian said right away. Two years ago, our relationship came to an end."You were engaged," Emily replied.Damian responded, "Yes." However, the relationship ended before we even met.Emily remained quiet.She didn't want to seem envious.She didn't want Damian to know how much the idea of Olivia disturbed her either."What's the purpose of telling me this?" Emily said."Because I don't want you to hear something from someone else and think I kept it from you," Damian stated.Emily's ches
