"You're better than my sorry excuse of a wife. She's just so fat." Emily heard Noah say and looked down at herself. She hadn't gained weight since their marriage. Yes, she was a little bit fleshy and curvy but fat was a far stretch.
Dejected, she turned on her feet.
He couldn't find anyone else to cheat with but her sister? He knew all that Melody had done to her. How much she detested her. She thought he was the only one on her side. Everyone said he didn't love her because she asked to be together and get married first.
Was it true? Kindness doesn't mean love...
She felt a tight knot in her chest.
She would not stand here and listen to any more of their hurtful words. It only wrenched her heart.
Emily spun around and headed out of the home that was meant to be her safe haven... protection from her cruel life. She kept walking absentmindedly until she became short of breath and her legs gave out.
The tears she'd been trying to hold back broke through her face, and the flood erupted.
Her shoulders shook as she wept profusely on her knees, tightly wrapping her coat around her body to shield herself from the cold.
By the time her cries subsided, it was already nightfall. She felt an eerie feeling in the unknown environment.
How did she get here? More importantly, how would she find her way back?
She didn't have to worry for long as the sound of a roaring engine filled her ears and bright light lit up her surroundings.
Two motorbikes came into her view, with a black, sleek car not too far behind, and they halted by her side.
The door to the car was thrown open, and a tall man in dark grey slacks and a black shirt, who looked to be in his late fifties, stepped out and marched towards her.
Each hard, firm step he took made a crunching noise that had a fearful impact on her heartbeat. Emily could feel fear spreading through her bones.
What was this dangerous atmosphere?
The man stopped at her feet and extended a hand arrayed with multiple rings towards her. He cocked his head to the side, and Emily felt a shudder go through her the moment his cold voice reached her ear.
"It is time to come home, princess."
Emily's jaw dropped, and then she screamed.
The next moment, she was up on her feet and running with the little strength she had left as her mind replayed his words.
It is time to come home, princess.
