Chapter 25
Emily Thompson
“Yes. And stop acting like you have no idea of what I’m talking about! I just caught you making out with your girlfriend.” I hissed folding my arms across my chest.
“Emily please….” He started as he placed his hands on my shoulder and gently turned me around to face him. “She’s not my girlfriend and I wasn’t even there for her. I have no idea that I will be meeting her here today. It was merely a coincidence”
“Coincidence my foot! Coincidence and yet, you k*ssed her”
I didn’t k*ss her. She k*ssed me and believe me, if you weren’t there I would have stopped her. I was just shocked by her sudden action and that stopped me from reacting on time. I’m sorry”
“I want to go back home. Thank you for ruining my day, Bryan Samuel” I hissed and turned around to leave but he suddenly scooped me up in his arms.
“Let me down!”
“I’m sorry babe but, I’m not going to do that. We need to talk things out” he said. and before I could protest, he walked to the passenger door and made me sit. I wanted to hop down from his car immediately he turned his back on me but he was too quick as he locked the door from outside.
Still screaming at him to open the door so I could get out of the car, I saw him. throwing my car key at Lucas.
I widened my eyes in horror. I can’t help but wonder how in the world Lucas got here.
Silly me! Of course, Bryan told me the other day that they’re like his shadow. Wherever he goes, they follow.
“Let me out, you shameless man!” I yelled but he only turned a deaf ear to my protest.
He got into the car and drove straight to the house. All through the ride back. home, he tried talking to me but I acted like I was deaf and dumb. I’m not just in the mood to talk to him.
We arrived back home and I hurriedly got out of his car and ran into the house.
Chapter 25
Bryan was calling after me but I’m not sure I’m in the mood to talk to him right now. I’m seriously hurt by what he did and I’m not ready to forgive him.
I saw what he did! He k*ssed her for goodness! Only God knows what would have happened between the two if I hadn’t arrived there early.
Have S**? And confessed how they missed each other.
On entering the house, my jaw dropped alongside my handbag. There is Aunt Capella, sitting on one of the couches looking upset and uneasy.
What in the world is she doing here again?! I thought she left for good?! Just a week ago I was happy that she already left and now.., she’s here?!
Just as she raised her head to look at me, my heart began to pound fast. Not because I’m scared of her but because of the look on her face at the moment. She made it look like today was going to be the last day for me on earth.
She got up from the couch and walked dangerously towards me. As she took a step forward, I took one backward until she was standing in front of me. “You shameless girl! How dare you ruin my plan?!” She fumed, raising her hand to slap me. I shut my eyes tightly expecting to feel her hand on my cheek already but seconds passed and yet, I felt nothing.
Opening my eyes slowly, I saw that a hand was already holding hers, stopping her from hitting me. I don’t need to be told twice who that hand belongs to. Of course, it’s my husband.
“What the F*** do you think you’re doing?!!” he growled, glaring at her.
She also gave him a murderous look before yanking her hand out of Bryan’s grip. “Are you nut? How dare you try to stop me?” She hissed, still glaring at him.
I watched as Bryan groaned before rubbing his face looking frustrated already. “Aunt Capella, please… Will you stop all this drama already? Setting me up with that slut out of the blue isn’t enough and now, you want to hit my wife? For F*** sake, she hasn’t done anything to deserve this treatment from you!” He busted angrily.
Huh? She set him up with his ex?
What’s going on and what is he talking about?
“I did all of that just for you! But what did she do in return? She ruined it all!” She yelled pointing an accusing finger at me. “I talked to her father and he already put

“Did you even listen to yourself? Since when did you begin to help me get the deals signed? And, you want expect me Bryan Samuel to be in that slut good. books? Who is she? Who the hell is Catherine Arnaldo?! Have you forgotten that I’m Bryan Samuel? Even if I didn’t get the contract, it doesn’t stop me one bit! I am wealthy enough already! I have the money and I don’t F***ing need anyb*dy’s help. I don’t care about any other thing especially if it’s going to jeopardize my relationship with my wife!*
“Bryan!”
“Stay away from me and my wife” he suddenly announced and I widened my eyes in horror.
He did not just say that to her.
“Bryan!”
“I mean it. I think for now you need to stop coming to my house. Until I tell you to, do not come here… Please “he begged, clasping both of his hands in front of her.
“You’re distancing yourself from me because of this thing?” She asked in a disappointed tone as she pointed her index finger at me.
“She’s my F***ing my wife! Stop referring to her as a thing!” He burst angrily.
Without a word being said, he walked out on us and sauntered up to our room.
Looking around and can’t even see one single maid. I guess, they’re all scared of him that none of them could show their face in a situation like this.
I wanted to go after him and it’s even funny that I end up wanting to be the one who will calm him down and cheer him up after everything that has happened but, I can’t dare walk out on her also. She would count that as a fault and begin to blame me again.
Now, I’m stuck in between a hard decision. Am I to go after my husband or, stay here with this scary woman and take in all of her insults?
“This isn’t over yet! I promise you. I will come back for you and when I do, not even Bryan will be able to save you” She threatened. I didn’t say a word, I just stood there looking at her like a statue.
Yes! You’re doing the right thing, Emily. It’s better this way- my subconscious said
to me.
She walked over to where she was sitting earlier and picked up her bag. She walked toward where I was standing and glared hard at me one last time before pushing me out of her way and walking out of the room.
I swear, I had no idea I’d been holding in a deep breath all this while until she walked out of the room. I almost slump on the floor but tried to control myself.
This is not the right time to do this – I mentally said to myself before sauntering up to our room and talk to Bryan.
