Emily cried harder, her heart was hurting, but there was nothing she could do. The deed has already been done. She lost her baby this time – and she wasn’t over it- who knows what she would lose next? Her life?
She pulled away with effort, “I love you Judy but I have to go, please,”
“What about Akim?! Are you going to leave him just like that?!” there was anger under his tone.
“Akim has been with me for the past years, it wouldn’t hurt for him to be with you this time. Moreover, we’re not the first single parents out there, I’ll figure out a way to go about it later,” She told him.
“So this is it? After everything, you’re just going to leave like that? What about me? Do you know what I went through those past years?! You’re not the only one who sacrificed Emily! I did too!”
“Please Judy, don’t make this any harder than it is right now!”
“No, you need to hear this” He took a step closer, “I waited for you! I refused to take a look at any other woman or princess betrothed to me that could have made my kingdom more prosperous than it is right now just to keep my promise to you! Do you know how hard that was!”
“Then go marry them!” She yelled back, took off her cap, and ruffled her hair from frustration, “Go and marry your betrothed bride or have a harem, I don’t care! I’m sure every one of them is better than an aged, divorced, single mo – mmmm”
Judy swooped down and silenced her with his lips. It took Emily a whole minute to comprehend he was ferociously attacking her lips. There was nothing gentle nor romantic about this kiss. It was just hard and lustful, both trying to have one of them surrender to the desire. Judy poured out all of his emotions into this kiss; fears, insecurity, affection; hoping she would change her mind.
“Can’t I change your mind?” was the question he asked as soon as they came up for air. He held her chin in her palm carefully as if she was a fragile egg, while the other stroked her face.
“I’m sorry, but I have to do this for the sake of my sanity,” Emily told him, tears trailing down which she tried to wipe off but Judy was already on it.
“In the end, you’re the one leaving,” He laughed to himself, “Maybe, this is retribution for leaving you all of those years,”
“Judy….”
“It’s alright. You can leave,” Judy breathed, unable to believe he just said that. He was the type who never gave up what he needed. But here he was, giving up the person that meant the most to him.
“Really?” Emily was shocked. He was letting her go like that? She had thought she would put up more of a fight.
He looked the other way, saying, “You should leave before I change my -“
The man was stunned when Emily suddenly kissed him one more time. And unlike earlier, this one was longer, passionate, and full of regrets. In one word, she was saying goodbye.
“Thank you so much, Judy,” Emily clasped his face, “And I want you to always remember that I love you,”
“I love you more than you know it,” He rested his head on hers, caressing her face.
“Say my goodbye to Akim. I don’t think I can face him,” She said finally and turned to leave.
“Emily!” Judy called out in desperation.
She halted.
However, when he didn’t say anything for almost a minute, she turned to smile at her and left finally.
Judy stood in that particular spot, lost in his trance until his guards awoke him with the news.
“Lady Emily has left,”
He took a deep breath, “Let’s go,” and left for the palace with his men. He would be okay, he continuously told himself. But then, the moment he came into his room and realized how empty his life was, he broke down into heart-wrenching tears.
The third point of view :
“No, the young mistress shouldn’t be awoken,” One of the maids who had walked into Isabella’s room to clean up while she slept, met her phone ringing.
She put the phone in silent mode and when it continued ringing, switched the phone off entirely – the young miss would be in a better state to answer the call later.
And just like that, the maid ended the call Isabella had been waiting for desperately; the call from Pedro. If only Allen hadn’t drugged her.
The next day…..
“Where was she?” Her memory was foggy and her eyelids were too heavy to peel open. Suddenly, it all came rushing in.
“Those little cockroaches!” Isabella bolted upright and got off the bed in a hurry, thereby inviting lightheadedness to take over. Her leg gave out and she supported herself with the bed until the dizziness wore off.
Recovered, she stood up with a grave smirk as she thought of one thousand ways of ending those kids – after killing them mentally already. But in her imagination, she kept reviving them over and over again – she wished that was possible.
“Allen! ” Isabella stormed over to their room, “Ailee! Neon!” but their room was empty.
Her sinister smirk deepened. They must have awoken before her and knowing she would suck the life out of them, escaped before she could lay hands on them.
“You!” She spotted an unfortunate maid as the others dispersed, “When did the kids wake?”
“N-not l-long ago,” the girl choked on her words. Sure, they had seen Isabella angry a lot of times, but today’s anger was on another level. Especially with the fact she just woke up from sleep; with her head disheveled and flying from all directions, she looked like a female gorilla; everyone was scared of her – And please, let’s not forget morning breath.
Abruptly, it crossed her mind, “How long have I been asleep?” she asked the frightened girl.
“S-sixteen hours?” she hastily checked her watch.
“Sixteen hours?!” Isabella screamed, gripping her hair.
That meant sixteen hours of her life had been snatched away from her by those little imps. Sixteen hours of not knowing the whereabouts of Pedro! Sixteen fucking hours! She would rip them apart
“Where are they?!”
Without asking who she was referring to, the maid simply pointed downstairs and Isabella dashed down the stairs without second thoughts.
She never asked for devils! She only asked for cute-looking angelic siblings who she would dote on and train her way. Where in the world do you find kids like Allen and Ailee?!
“Ailee! Allen! Come the hell out before I -” Isabella stopped short at the scene of Allen, Ailee, and Neon kneeling with their hands raised while Sakuzi supervised their punishment with Nadia by his side, as usual, typing away on her laptop.
