When they got to Bella's house or as the estate would call it the Klar's house, Emily's neck kept turning back and forth in amazement.This wasn't a house, it was a mansion, they drove past different sections. A garden, a table tennis center, a swimming pool section, and some more arches of land before they arrived at the house.Emily had never seen anything like this before, it was like they were in another town entirely. She was tempted to ask Bella if her father owned all this but she knew the answer to that. Bella's parents were known to be wealthy but how wealthy was the question Emily had never thought about.She remembered going to some of Bella's friends birthday party but she had never seen anything like this. Her friend's house was big, well-equipped, and furnished with the latest gadgets, equipment, and materials but nothing like this.Was this why Bella felt imprisoned in this house?Who wouldn't feel imprisoned in a place like this? There was no reason to leave because th
She watched him dive into the water and swim to the end swiftly and then back as he stepped out slowly.The maid close by rushed to him and handed his towel to him, as he wiped his face. When he placed the towel on his body, he looked up and caught Emily's eye."That's my cousin, Cam," Bella said stepping into the balcony as the driver left to tell the maid to come and arrange the clothes in place.Bella waved at him as he nods his head in response to her but his eyes do not leave Emily, he cleaned off his body still staring at her then walked out of the swimming section as the maid followed ehind him."Does he stay here?" Emily asked staring in the direction he had just gone through."Sometimes," Bella replied. Emily walked back inside the room, she lay on the bed as her phone vibrated in her pocket.It was her sister.She sat up and picked up the call, it was unusual for her sister to call her they mostly chat."Where the hell are you? Mum just called me that Dad is in the hospital.
The doctor didn't know why but he decided to come up with this lie but it wasn't a lie, the hospital sometimes had random donations not the way the unknown person had done but some people did call in to donate money to help people who couldn't pay for their bills."Is everything okay?" Rose asked as her daughter walked back to her with a confused look."It's nothing, let's go home. I will go to work then come and meet you.""Work?" Rose had forgotten that her daughter had to work, she should have told Emily to go home to rest instead of allowing Chloe to leave but yesterday she had been overwhelmed by the situation she wasn't thinking straight.Talking about Chloe she wondered where she went to that she hadn't called to check up on them since morning."Can't you take a break, I can talk to your boss.""No, it's okay. I will rest when I come back. Let's go."* * * * * * * * * * *When Emily got to her workplace she felt like dying, she rushed to her office bathroom, and she always kept
When Emily finally opened her eyes she felt her vision failing her, her head hurt so bad and she didn't know why.She rose to her feet slowly but felt her body getting heavier than usual as she slumped back to the ground and slammed her head on the floor.She winced in pain from her head hitting the floor but she didn't notice she already got a small cut at the side that was already bleeding.She looked around again this time slowly, it seemed every time her eyes scanned the room she would feel like her brain would explode but nothing was coming to her mind.She rose to her feet again, this time slowly as she walked into the bathroom calculating each step, at intervals, she leaned on the wall for support so she wouldn't fall.She stepped into the tub slowly still in her clothes that reeked of something that she couldn't figure out, some chemical. She turned on the shower as the water poured Into her head slowly.What was happening to her?She leaned into the shower and stared around a
Leonard barely spared Chloe a glance as he dialed his driver's phone, "Book that restaurant I mentioned earlier," Leonard ordered disconnecting the call. "Where are you? I was so worried about you," Rose asked her daughter, "Tell me you are alright.""I am fine mum, I am alright, I was about to call you," Emily replied not wanting to worry her mother, she was still finding it hard to remember what had happened to her. "Should I come over? Maybe we could -""No, I am fine, mum. Chloe is here," Emily replied. "Alright, thank goodness you are fine," Rose said. "I will call you later Mum," she said."Alright dear," her mother replied before disconnecting the call.When she was done with the call Leonard informed her to get ready for dinner and Chloe asked to tag along, Emily had thought Leonard would oppose it but he surprised her by telling them to get dressed.She didn't know why she had even made that offer of a dinner date when she still had bills to sort out, she wished she could
Bella couldn't remember the last time Leonard smiled even when he did she didn't know if it was genuine or fake."Emily?" Cam muttered. Bella didn't bother to ask how he knew, she figured he had asked the driver, or maid or maybe her mother had mentioned it to him.She removed the nose mask from her nose and the hoodie from her hair as she took a seat beside Cam."I will take you to her tomorrow," Cam stated as he instantly got a hug from Bella that didn't surprise him at all, he smiled and patted her back slowly.* * * After they were done eating at the restaurant, Chloe once again walked faster so she could get to the back seat next to Leonard but this time the driver motioned her to the front seat."It's okay," She had smiled at him as she tried to open the back seat door."Miss Emily would..."She sat at the back regardless, she watched Leonard and Emily meet up as they took their seat. Emily in front and Leonard with her but as usual Leonard didn't bother to look at her or speak
When Emily woke up the next morning, she woke up with a banging headache, a strain in her eyes, and the realization that she had been kidnapped, but why were they still alive? Why did the kidnappers return them safely? It didn't make sense to her or were they keeping tabs on them? where they watching them seeing if they would run to the police.She didn't know she found herself checking the window every time she thought about it but when she looked she couldn't find any car or any suspicious movement it bothered her that it had taken so long for her to remember, she knew she couldn't have been drunk, she wasn't much of a drinker and even if she was she always knew her limits.So how did Leonardo really find her? How did he know where she would be?"Are you okay my child?" Rose asked. She had noticed that Emily seemed a little bit off, she wondered what was wrong not only had she woken up early she had rushed to the window like she was waiting for something or looking for something."
"A goodbye kiss? I just told you a story and you...." Emily trailed off as she felt Leonard's lips on hers."You think too much," Leonard smiled and placed a kiss on her lips again. "I will come and pick you up when you close from work," he said opening the door for her and motioning her to leave.* * * * * * * * * * *When Emily got to the office she was surprised to find Bella seated comfortably in her office."How are you here right now?""Does it matter?" Bella said as they rushed to hug each other, they both missed each other so much, Emily was sure she missed Bella more than Bella did and Bella thought the same that she missed Emily more than Emily did.She was so happy that Cam was able to get her here without anyone knowing, he had woken her up so early this morning and told her to get into the trunk of his car, he had driven her before opening the trunk to get out then he had driven her straight to the office and told her to call him when she was done."But really how are you
