EMILY’S POV

Cracks are now embedded like the break of dawn yet this path I chose is moonless like a cloudy night. If only I knew and my eyes could speak they would reveal sorrow and not love. Every tear drop resurrected from the hate I received from my own children for my grave mistake from water bodies and I the source drowning in pain. If only my heart could speak and tell that I now pray the Lord save me from my mistaken past.

Perhaps I blame my body but now at it’s mercy I feel deprived for a better present I would have but instead chose the idle pleasures I wanted. The scars I left you with now a sign of victory. A victory as the Lord has resurrected you from your torment and problems like a burning phoenix with you being blessed abundantly by him.

At a crucial stage in life I now know I should have waited and listened. Listened, cause I now cry and longer smile and left wishing for our tomorrow. A tomorrow that would have been better than my present as I now go through abuse and torment from the man I sought solace in. My love for things has left me in broken dream behind now I explore hoping that I went back in time and chose to grow with you and not just in love but even in times of despair.

She put the photo in her bag, got up the bed and wiped the tears. She needed to get out of the house before Max comes back. She heard the car sound and looked through the window. It was Max. She didn’t care less what he was going to say. She was ready to face him and had nothing to lose. She walked out of the room and waited for him in the loudge. She sat on the sofa folding her arms, legs crossed. He opened the door and walked in,side the house.

“Hie!” he greeted her and she ignored him. “Is something wrong?” he walked to her and sat beside her. He took her hand. “I am sorry about what I did the other day. I didn’t mean to beat you up. I was mad at you. I am sorry I want to make it up to you,” he said softly.

“What are you saying?” she asked with a hint of curiosity in her voice.

“We moving to London.”

“What?!” she exclaimed getting up.

She didn’t expect him to say that. Moving to London with him, meant she was never going to be able to see her kids. She missed them and needed to try to ask for their forgiveness.

“Why are we moving to London?”

“I figure out with Andrew working at my company it will be hærd on you. Listen Emily I may have killed my ex-wife and beat you up but what I feel for you is real. I love you with all of my heart. I am addicted to you,” he walked to her.

She didn’t believe him. He was up to something.

“Please! Love me? You have been treating me badly for the past few months. You incapable of love. You are a killer, psychopath. You are crazy. I know I was a fool to have married you,” she threw the words at him as if he was no human being.

He tried to make sense of her words. What was she trying to tell him. He tried to form the words, tried to tell her he wasn’t a killer. He grabbed her by her wa-ist and k-ssed her.

“This is what you do to me,” his voice was hoarse with emotion. “I can’t think around you. I can’t sleep without you by myside. I can’t let you go. For once in my life I have never loved anyone the way I love you. You drive me insane,” he sniffed. “Your scent.”

He placed his palm on the wall above her shoulder, his face coming closer to hers, bringing him irresistibly close. Too close.

“I want you, Emily,” he said huskily as he lowered his head to k-ss her.

She moved sideways, away from him, but instantly he placed his other hand abover her shoulder. Trapping her.

“I want you with a passion so raw it almost hurts. Infact it does.”

She looked up into his red eyes, so close. She pushed him and he almost fell on the floor.

“What are you doing Emily?” he asked. He grinned.

He moved away from her and went to lock the door.

“Now you not going anywhere. Come here my baby, Emy. Emy, my sweetheart, Daddy Max is here,” he said getting close to her.

“Don’t you dare come close to me Max. You are crazy.”

“Yes yes yes. I am crazy in love with you. Oh my goodness!” he shouted hands on his head. “I am crazily in love with you. I don’t know why I am so in live with you,” he burst out laughing. “This is so funny. You know what I want us to have a baby. I need a baby. Come here Emily,” he ran to her and knocked her down on the floor. “I will make love to you.”

“Let go of me!” she shouted beating him with her hands.

She gave him a punch. He got up and she kicked him on his genitals.

“Aaaaaargh!” he let out a scre-m. “What the hell is wrong with you? Damn you!”

He got up and slapped her on the cheek. He pushed her against the wall. He was about to strangle her when she kicked him again on his genitals. She ran to the kitchen and took the knife from the drawer. He got up and the moment he looked behind. She stabbed him on the chest. He scre-med in pain and balanced by the wall. She didn’t stop but stabbed him again, again and again, countless times.

After she realised what she had done. She dropped the knife on the floor. Max was lying in pool of blood.

“Max! Wake up!” she said shaking him but he didn’t respond. “What I have I done? Max, wake up please,” she cried.

She sat on the floor and burst into tears. She had turned into a murderer. She grabbed her phone trying to call the cops but she couldn’t. She got up and took a large amount of money, put it in her suitcase. She took her passport grabbed the car keys.

“I am sorry, Max,” she wiped away the tears and walked out of the house.

She was about to get in,side the car but had one more thing to do. She took the gasoline from the garage and walked back in,side the house. She spilled gasoline on the floor besides his body and sat down on the chair. She took his cigar and lighten it.

“I don’t know how I managed to kill you but I so feel great after doing it,” she puffed. “You made my life a living hell. It is your fault that I lost my family. My kids they now hate me all because of you. I don’t know why I was so weak and fell in love with you. I should have never left my husband. He treated me like a queen but I treated him badly. And now I regret but you, I don’t regret stabbing you,” she looked at the corpse. “He is now happy with another woman. What about me? I will end up in jail because of you Max. What did I get myself into? I should have never left Andrew, none of this would have never happened,” she rose from the chair. “Goodbye Max. I will meet you in hell.”

She threw the lit cigarette on the floor and ignited it. She quickly ran out of the house as the body of Max burn in flames. The house was on fire when she drove off. She kept her eyes on the road. She stopped in front of his house and slept in her car. She woke up early in the morning and watched every movement they made in the house. She dropped a tear and clenched her fist.

“This has to end!”

“Mum, your eggs are so delicious,” said Chloe.

“Did she just call me mum. It’s the first time I heard you calling me that.”

Chloe smiled.

“You deserve to be called that,” walked Calvin in the kitchen. “I can’t seem to fix this tie again.”

“Let me help you with that,” got up Shania. “Nice suit you wearing,” she said fixing his tie. “There you are.”

“Thank you mum,” he sat on the chair. “Last night I had a lot to think about. I don’t expect to see Emily again. When I saw her yesterday I remembered the day she left us. I don’t know if I am going to be able to forgive her. May the Lord have mercy on her that she will not do the same thing on her husband,” said Calvin. “Chloe!” called out Calvin disrupting her from her thoughts. “Whats wrong?”

“I don’t know I feel weird. I feel like something bad is going to happen today,” she said.

“You now a prophet?”

“Calvin!”

“I am just asking. Eat your breakfast, nothing is going to happen. Dad, you have been quiet,” said Calvin his eyes on Andew.

“I somehow have the same feeling. I even had a weird dream last night. There was just blood everywhere and I was crying holding Chloe in my arms. She had been stabbed,” said Andrew worriedly.

“Did you pray about it honey?”

“No, I quickly got up from the bed and went to Chloe’s room. She was crying in her sleep,” he looked at Chloe.

Chloe dropped the fork she was holding on the floor.

“What is it Chloe?” asked Calvin.

“I I I had the same dream,” she trembled. “I was crying and dad was in a coffin,” said Chloe.

They all looked at her. Andrew began to worry.

“We need to pray before leaving the house. Nothing is going to happen. Let’s go to the sitting room,” said Shania and they all stood up.

They sat down. She began,

“Whenever you have a dream, first pray before you say. As Jesus said that he won’t leave us but would send us the Spirit who will teach us all things. All things include help us decipher and understand dreams. You will need to cultivate a relationsh¡p with the Holy Spirit. Talk with him and the more you do, he will start communicating back. Now let’s pray.”

They prayed for about thirty minutes. They walked out of the house and got into the car.

“Chloe. Did you take your lunch box?” asked Shania.

“Yes, mum.”

“Seat belt, madam,” said Andrew.

He drove the car and first dropped Chloe at her school. Since Calvin was going for an interview at his father’s company. They got out of the car and walked in the office. Shania now owned a boutique. She spent her time at her shop. Hours passed and it was around 5 pm when Shania drove to Chloe’s school. Since she was doing ballet at St Dominican Convert. They were supposed to pick her up around four. She was late with an hour. Calvin and Andrew were still at the office. Shania found Chloe’s class teacher standing outside.

“I am so sorry I am late,” she said stepping out of the car. “Where is Chloe?”

“Chloe? There is a woman who came to take her. She said something about being your sister,” said the teacher.

“What?!” exclaimed Shania. “I have no sister. Have she been kidnapped?!
