Emma Dilemma 88 Novels & Stories

Damien was shouting at someone on his phone about constitutional rights. Emma looked past them all to the hospital building where Lily Morrison might already be dead. Where fifteen other children were counting down hours until their bodies failed without treatment. Where Emma had been trying to help but had instead walked into another trap. She closed her eyes, felt the nitroglycerine working, felt her heart rate slowly dropping from dangerous levels. And made a decision. "I'll answer your questions," Emma said to Detective Kim. "No lawyer. Right now. Let's get this over with."

Emma chipped in. Eve turned towards the two womaen asking her the same question repeatedly and yelled angryly. “I said i don't know. What else do you want me to say? I came alone.”and again, Her hands played with her earrings. “Fine then.”Emma voice potrayed wrath, “Then i won't hesitate to show you that you're nothing but a dog used by the organization.” She picked her phone, dialed a number and the person picked at the first ring.

He slid into the couch next to him and said in a shaking voice, “Elli, you are scaring me now.” Elliot cleared his throat and said, “Yesterday, there was another attack and…” Alaric grabbed Elliot’s arms and whispered, “And…” Elliot gazed at the fire blazing in the mantel for a few moments before saying, “Emma is no more…” Alaric sat there stunned for a long time. Emma was a cute, clever five-year-old. She was so obedient. It was difficult to imagine that she had broken a rule. “What was she doing in the warring zone?”

If you want the truth about your husband, don't trust Daniel. Emma's pulse roared in her ears. Someone knew. Someone was watching. Someone wanted her to uncover the truth. But why? Then a final email appeared. This time there was an attachment. A video file. Emma hesitated. Every instinct told her not to open it. But she clicked anyway. The screen loaded. The footage was grainy. Dark. Clearly recorded by a hidden camera. A man appeared on-screen. Emma's breath stopped. Daniel. He was arguing with someone.

They got to the clubhouse, stopping before it. "How much?" She asked. "Two dollars." She pulled out two dollars from her purse, giving it to the driver. She stepped out, walking to the building through the back door. Mrs Mills just walked out of the building with her phone hung in her right ear. On seeing Delilah, she takes the phone off her ear, hanging the call. "Was just about to call you." She paused, "You're late." "I know, and I'm sorry about it. I had to explain to my best friend that I had an assignment, I was able to sneak out because of her help." She explained.

“He took the bait. We’re having drinks at eight.” Emma nods tightly while Delia types out the name of her favorite bar, where she and Evelyn have gone so many times. Then, she puts her phone back into her pocket, looking at Emma. “Are you okay?” Delia asks, taking in her pale face, her strained features. “It’s all going according to plan,” Emma murmurs. “It’s just…it feels so much more real now. So much more dangerous.”

Emma unlocked her phone and opened a secure messaging app. She typed a single sentence to an unknown contact. I need everything you can find on James Holloway and Darrien Cross. Financial records. Personal history. Former relationships. Anything that can be used against them. She hit send. A reply came less than a minute later. Understood. Emma set the phone aside. “If I can’t understand your connection…” She looked out through the windshield toward the towering glass headquarters. “…I’ll make sure none of you can either.” For the first time since Charlotte’s world had begun to change…

Just a deep, hollow emptiness that echoed louder than any scream could have. She had done this. She had sat in that room and given them everything. The files. The videos. The recordings of her daughter moaning her husband’s name in their own bed. She had watched the agents’ faces change as they listened. She had seen the disgust in their eyes. And she had felt nothing but a cold satisfaction that tasted like ash in her mouth. Emelia was still inside. Still refusing to speak. Still protecting the man who had ruined them both. Clara wondered how long her daughter would keep choosing him. How long before the truth finally broke her completely.

"Eighteen hours to turn a Consilience trap into our ambush. What do we need?" Before Damian could respond, Emma spoke again, her voice barely above a whisper. "There's something else. Something Sarah mentioned that I wasn't sure whether to tell you." We all turned toward her, tension spiking. "What?" I asked.

He seemed to be waiting for me to respond the way I usually did—telling him to drive safely, or complaining that he was leaving me home alone so late at night. But instead, I simply opened the car door and stepped out. Watching the car drive away into the distance, I wiped the tears that stung my eyes and dialed my parents in Montelvia.
