Emery breathed in and out for some minutes, trying to balance her breaths
“You’ve been taking oats unconsciously for a month, stop blowing out air like that, you might end up blowing out your intestines” Jocelyn said
” I just hope my darling will be ok, I really hope” Emery said
” So far I haven’t heard any news about the death of CEO of Crown empire” Jocelyn said
” God forbid evil, he’ll never die, we made a deal of always and forever so forget about death, I’m just scared of how miserable he’d have been” she replied, shedding tears again
” But one happy news is that … The devil’s advocate is dead, I mean Liz” Jocelyn said
” Really?, What killed her? ”
” Death” Jocelyn replied
” I mean how did she die? ”
” She died by experiencing death” Jocelyn replied
” Don’t be so annoying again, I mean was she killed? ” Emery said
” Obviously, Brenda killed her so she won’t spit out her secret, it’s just so obvious to me” Jocelyn replied
“Ion know but.. I feel like the devil bribed someone to get on that throne, Brenda is the real devil, after killing my parents, she decided to kill me again just because I’m in love with her son” Emery said
” Such is life, trust no one, but why will you go to skyscraper alone?”
” I was texted to come meet the killer of my parents” Emery replied
” Are you daft?, Someone who made your parents die in the fatal accident, you think she’s not capable of killing you too?, You should have contacted the cops ” Jocelyn said
” I lost my senses then, I know what I did was senseless” Emery replied, her stomach making sounds
Jocelyn giggled
“I’ll get you something to eat, you still like spicy spaghetti?” She said
” Of course it’s still my best, but I don’t feel like eating right now” she replied
Jocelyn rolled eyes at her
” Are you talking to me?, Eat or get spanked, choose one” she said
“Jocelyn… ” Emery said
” Shhhh’ Jocelyn replied, taking in her lips as she entered the small kitchen
“By the way, how have you been living? ‘ Emery asked
“Magnet job of course, after I left the orphanage, no one is ready to give me a job and you know I’m not close to good at school, I dropped out at year two so madam Kira (the orphanage owner) won’t continue to waste her money” she replied
” What about since we got here? ‘ Emery asked
“Oh, I actually Magnet from Blake Crown a night before the incident, so i used it for two weeks, then after that, I almost got caught in a store while stealing, doctor Alyssa helped me, she has really been of great help, she took no dime in taking care of you” Jocelyn replied
Emery laughed lightly
“Blake will skin you alive ” she said
“I know, I just have to apologise, he helped me but I ended up stealing from him” Jocelyn said sadly
” Well he’s single, and I think he has stopped chasing after girls, he’s trying hard to stop smoking too” Emery said
” Meaning? ”
” Hook up you know” Emery said
“You’re sick” Jocelyn replied
Doctor Alyssa came In
” Oh!, Our Emery is awake!” She said with a big smile
” Doctor Alyssa? ” Emery guessed
“Yeah” she replied
“My lifesaver” Emery gushed, sitting up properly as Alyssa came more closer
She hugged her
“You’re too kind, you took no cash for treating me, how can I even say thank you” Emery said
” Just be good and don’t do anything to stress that baby inside you, then get ready to meet your boyfriend tommorow, since you’re awake now, we should go home tommorow” Alyssa said
Emery nodded positively
” I miss my candy heart, I can’t wait” she said
” And putting that animal called Brenda behind bars will be made snappy, she doesn’t deserve to live amidst humans” Jocelyn said, coming out of the kitchen
” Sure” Alyssa replied
“Doctor Alyssa, you should stay for dinner, the spaghetti is almost done” Jocelyn said
” Sure, and Emery, you must promise me to eat well during dinner” Alyssa said
” Sure… Em, you’re old enough to be my mother” Emery said
” Me too” Jocelyn added
” Maybe, I’m turning fourthy at the end of this year” Alyssa replied
” You aren’t married? ” Emery asked
” My husband and only daughter died in a plane crash five years ago” she replied
” I’m sorry” Emery and Jocelyn said simultaneously
“It’s ok, so you both, can I adopt you both?, Please?” Alyssa said
Jocelyn and Emery exchanged glances
” I bet you’ll wanna make us three, Glenn is cool too, you’ll meet her tomorrow” Emery said
” I don’t mind, I really want daughters around me, I’ve always wanted daughters to call mine” Alyssa replied
” Yayyy!! ” Emery and Jocelyn screamed joyously…
” Ok, it should be done by now” Jocelyn said and left for the kitchen
She dished the food in three separate plates and set it on the table
“Maybe our Emery will still be too weak to eat by herself” Alyssa said
” I can manage” Emery replied
” No dear, open up” Alyssa said, raising a fork full of spaghetti to her mouth
Emery smiled and opened up
She shoved the fork gently into her mouth
“I’m jealous” Jocelyn said…

Next day**
Raymond is really really very sick, he has been in the hospital for days now and is showing no signs of improvement
Blake and Julius with Glenn stood by him throughout but it’s not even helping, all he kept saying is Emery…
Brenda never bothered to come, he won’t want to see her anyways…
She sat in her big house, feeling lonely like hell
Dorothy has never called or visited since Liz died though she doesn’t know why but she never called or visited too
Her doorbell suddenly rang
She stood and went to the door
She opened the door and Dorothy came to view with something wrapped with a white shawl in her hand
Then a determined smile on her face
“Dorothy?, You surprised me, I thought we’re at odds” she said as Dorothy came in fully…
” I’ve called the cops and told them everything you did to Emery and her parents, that you did to my daughter too” Dorothy said
“What?”
“They’re coming for your arrest, but that’ll be after I might have cut off your hands, the hand you used to put poison in Liz’s drink” she said, removing the sword from the shawl
Brenda’s eyes widened
” What are you.. you talking about?” She stammered, drawing back
” I know you killed Liz cos you’re afraid Blake might force words out of her mouth so stop f*cking pretending! ” Dorothy yelled
” Dorothy…
“If you’re planning to plead, too late” Dorothy said and raised the sword, she brought it down on Brenda’s right arm, cutting it off completely
She cried out in great agony as her blood pumped out uncontrollably
She’s about to cut off the second one when the cops rushed in
She dropped the sword voluntarily and fell in tears
“She killed my daughter, she killed her” she cried…
Brenda is still screaming in pains as her blood continued wasting
They were both pushed into the police van and taken to the station after Brenda’s bleeding joint has been covered with a towel…
__________________
Getting off from the bus at the bus stop, the first thing Emery’s eyes caught is the street TV
A news is going on, her eyes widened when she saw Brenda being taken out of the police van with only an arm, her second arm is gone
She was pushed into the station with another woman…
News: chairwoman of Crown empire, madam Brenda Crown has been arrested in her house today after her right arm got cut by her closest friend Dorothy Harsha…. Dorothy confessed that it was Brenda who killed the missing girlfriend of CEO Raymond Crown by pushing her from the top of one thousand stairs on an uncompleted skyscraper…. having Liz as the only witness became a bother to Brenda, she killed Liz by poisoning and dumped her body…
Reporters also Stated the real reason for Emery Williams murder, … Brenda killed Emery’s parents, Gloria and Brian Williams thirteen years ago while going to dump the co**se of her mother whom she also killed by herself… CEO Raymond Crown was said to have been in the hospital since days ago, seriously lovesick…is madam Brenda really a human?….
Emery is already crying
Jocelyn placed her hand on her shoulder
Alyssa hugged her
“You have a strong soul and spirit, you won the battle without lifting a finger” she said
” Madam Alyssa I’m just..I’m grateful I’m not dead, I’m grateful to be alive, I can’t ask for more” she replied
Alyssa wiped her tears
” It’s ok baby, stop crying” she said.
“My sweetheart is sick, we should go to the family hospital first, I’m sure he’ll be there” she said
Jocelyn stopped a cab and the drive to the hospital started
________________
“Finally, I think I should be a prophetess, I gave her a month and just two weeks, she lost an arm, an hour from now, she’ll bleed till death,” Blake said, watching the news from the hospital TV
“So she killed Emmie’s parents too?” Raymond said
” She’s the devil, I wonder where she is when the vote for devil is going on” Julius said
Raymond cried more
” Raymond stop crying, that’s what you’ve been doing since a month ago” Glenn said
Blake is about to talk when there suddenly came loud shouts from the hallway outside
It came nearer and nearer and it finally came in
Their eyes widened
Emery is standing right in front of them with Jocelyn and Alyssa beside her..then some doctors and interns
“Emmie?” Raymond said, wiping his tears, thinking maybe it’s what’s making him see things
But she’s still in front of him
“Candy heart” Emery said and her tears fell as she ran to him
Raymond got down from the bed and met her halfway, they hugged each other so tight but her belly is doing a good job in not making the hug very tight
“Raymond I missed you” she said tearfully
” Don’t talk Emmie, just shut up and let’s stay like this” he replied
She kept mute, only her sobs can be heard
Blake’s eyes caught Jocelyn and she faced the floor, too embarrassed to look at him
“Where have you been!” Raymond finally spoke up
” I was pushed from the stairs, but Jocelyn here saved me, doctor Alyssa saved me completely” Emery replied
He broke the hug and bent in front of her
He touched her stomach and kissed it eventually
“My baby, how’re you doing?, Dad is here now….” He said and kissed her belly repeatedly again
He stood and hugged her again
The interns and the doctors who are present clapped loudly at the reunion
Many made videos
“I’m sorry, my mum did that to your parents” he said in her arms
“You have no right to be sorry, it was her, not you.. and I’m glad she’s paying for it already… Raymond I love you like madly” she said, breaking the hug
” I love you immensely my Emmie” he replied and in the next minute, he held her cheeks and kissed her softly, it was short but heartwarming
He broke it but still holding her cheeks…
“Let’s get married..marry me Emmie…”
