Chapter 2 Emily's POV

"What?!" She couldn't contain her reaction.

"I'm coming over." She had worried expression on her face since she knew how I've loved Ethan.

"No need Lexi, I'm fine, see?"

I swirled around trying to convince her, of course I needed her to be here so much. But I also needed to be alone. I need to figure out what next to do with my life now. I've wasted so much time with Ethan and I had to think of way out for me now.

"Don't try to act strong girl, I know you're a mess inside right now, just cry it out."

"I already did."

"It's all for the best Lily, he was being a jerk anyways, go get your life back. I'm always here for you, always rooting for you and having your back girl."

This moved me to tears, I know I've always had her, but why was I crying?

"It's okay, but someone would be so joyful to hear this though." she muttered and smirked.

"And who might that be?? and how wicked could that human be?"

"Wicked? Dylan was never wicked and you know it."

I scoffed, Lexi never seized to amuse me.

"I got to go."

"Wait! Wait!"

I swiftly hung up, preventing myself from hearing more of those things she had to say.

How could she never changed?

------

I showered to go to sleep now after such a long routine on my skin.

I was already beautiful, and my skin was flawless, but I was going to take my looks to the extreme now, I needed to look more stunning, that of course to boost my self confidence and make me happily in love with myself.

Then a message suddenly popped up.

"Be at the court by 8am tomorrow."

It was from Ethan. How he was eager to divorce me. Well, I'm also eager now.

I wore my pyjamas and went to bed.

When it was morning, I rushed to the shower, carrying out my newly committed routine and when I was done, I took off in a taxi.

Was he kidding me?

How could he brought his parents to a divorce agreement.

He had impatient look on his face, and his gaze was far and behind me.

It was not that, he couldn't recognize me right??

I focused my gaze on him while his was somewhere else, maybe searching for me, when he already saw me coming?

Well, yea, I just started a skin routine just yesterday, I couldn't have changed so much yet, or maybe the dress, a tight body con grey gown which I've not wear in a long time and my hair beautifully dressed than usual. And a highly fashioned hill to go with.

"Mr Roland?" I called when I was almost by his side.

That expression, I could swear it was shock.

He was completely lost and wouldn't avert his gaze. With this, I knew I was getting there. I was getting myself back again.

"Ehm.. ehm.. we need to hurry." He muttered after such a long stare.

I went to his mother, although she didn't like me from the beginning since she had a girl for Ethan, but we later came to get along quite well. And now, flings of tears could be sighted at her eyes.

"Lily dear, you both can sort this out, right?" Mrs Edith muttered delicately.

My heart was torn apart.

"Mother, this is why I said to stay back. This was my decision." Ethan butt in.

As though his father was pissed, he seemed to want to vacate the premises immediately, but not without saying a word to me.

"Lily dear, I have stakeholders meeting at the company, since he refused to take over, and started his own company, I'm still working at old age,"

I smile with my head bent in courtesy.

"How about this, would you like to take over?"

"Father!" Ethan interrupted earning himself a scornful look.

He left immediately without more words to Ethan.

When a negotiation was suggested, we both shooked our head vigorously.

"No, just get it done quickly, I'll give her anything she wants."

That went straight to my heart, it aches furiously. Sounding as though I was still holding him back.

"Ehm Sir, I also want it done as soon as possible, and please tell him I don't want anything from him."

He suddenly looked at me.

What was there to be surprised about, I was never greedy to begin with neither did I even married him cos of his money.

"You can come back in two weeks to have it finalized," The man who sat at our front muttered and stamped, leaving us no choice but to leave with two weeks of burden.

If only he knew how much I wanted to be away from this jerk now.

I stood up and left without looking back at him, or the man and keeping my emotions in check but not until the witch had to cross to my front.

"What do you want?"

"To pay back for the slaps, I'll really send you to hell today, is that why you looking so hot? you think Ethan will take you back?"

I wasn't ready to get pissed by some entitled, victim minded girl.

"Get out of my way." I muttered coldly but she really meant business as she suddenly grabbed my hair.

I held her hand firmly, crushing it with every bit of anger in me, till she couldn't stop wailing.

"Let go of her Emily." I could hear Ethan's voice steps away.

"No, not until you tell your delicate princess to never cross my path again."

"I didn't do anything, she's lying Ethan." She ran to hug her soulmate immediately,

And I scoffed.

"You'll be a great actress y'know, I haven't even said anything yet, you said I'm lying,"

Ethan never averted his gaze from me.

"Be careful next time. " I smirked and tapped her shoulder.

I walked away elegantly, feeling proud of how I'm handling these things without informing anyone, except Lexi.

Well, it was my mess and I needed to clean it off myself.

When I got to the road, I waved a taxi but some car suddenly pulled at my front and dragged me inside.

My face got swiftly covered with a dark bag and now I couldn't see anything, I was kidnapped. But who could've kidnapped me or maybe they just want money.

I was helplessly frightened, I didn't know what to do but to beg now,

"I'm not the one you looking for," my voice shook.

"And how much do you need? please understand that I'm not the one you're looking for! I'm just some ordinary girl!"

"Ordinary girl? Emily Richardson, ordinary girl? Wow! Is that how you see yourself?!"

Wait, it couldn't be who I was thinking right? they suddenly removed the bag from my head and there sat my brother.

"Jason!" I sprung on him immediately. I've missed him so much.

It has been almost seven years since my brother left now and he never left the crazy part of him behind.

Why putting me in a panic mode to prove he was back?

I held him tight.

"Don't crush me, you're just some ordinary girl." He chuckled and I scoffed pushing him away.

"What was with the kidnapping thing. Will you ever behave normal?!" I glared at him.

"I'm Jason Richardson, I'm no ordinary guy."

I scoffed, glaring harder now.

"You were actually misbehaving while I wasn't around hun?"

"I wasn't misbehaving, I got married."

"To that low class?"

"He isn't a low class, he's a CEO too"

"Of such company? and now he has the guts to want to divorce you? come'on now, you should've done better than this."

"I was happy,"

"But now?"

"Jason!"

"No how could you let such guy treat you like trash!"

He was mad at me. And how did he even gets to find out?

I was about to inform him of my hotel location when he dropped the bomb on me.
