SITTING ON THE EDGE of "their" king-size bed, Emma's mind drifted through everything. How so much changed, yet nothing changed, since that day. Even though she knew that day would change everything, she didn't say anything, because who was she to say something.

When her uncle and aunt signed on those contracts, that was supposed to change her life yet she was nobody to decide. She still stayed silent, because she believed she deserved it all. She absent-minded nodded her head, without another thought, without the care of her world.

Her marriage about which her parents dreamt about when she was just seven years, was nothing like her real marriage because when her parents were there enjoying those heavens, she as her surviving the hell. Her small yet extravagant wedding went in a daze, she didn't even know when was she at the alter and when was she sent away to her new home. Because all she did was stay silent, with her head down, she nodded and offered a smile when was needed to. She just said two words that day, but those two words were enough to change her life, "I do"

Even though her wedding was a daze to her, she clearly remembered her first night, when she was insulted, when she was termed as a "gold digger", yet she stayed silent. After all, what did she epect, a loving husband? After all this was just a year contract, and a show for the outer world.

Also, she believed she didn't deserve world. These negative thoughts weren't hers, they were brain-fed to her, they were spoken to her every day, she was reminded of this every day and every night. When you are daily brain-fed something, there comes a moment in your life, when you start to believe in yourself, and the same happened with Emma. She was never a negative soul, she was always a cheerful, smiley kid, but that stormy night changed her all.

She was broken, used, and abused by her so-called uncle, aunt, and cousin. But did she complain? No. Again because she was told that she deserved all this, this was her punishment for that sin that she never committed. She was a burden to them, and she wanted to repay them their so-called blessings, that's why she lived. Regardless of the times when she so much wanted to end herself.

She was like a bird, who was trapped in a cage, by her aunt and uncle. She also dreamt of escaping, but only till she had wings. But those wings were brutally cut of her back, snatching away her only hope. But without her wings, ill she able to heal? Will she able to fly again?

The next morning after the wedding, it was unlike any morning she had. The whole state was talking about their secret small wedding. All the newpaper had almost the same headline-

"BILLIONAIRE GOT SECRETLY MARRIED, BUT TO WHOM?"

"BILLIONAIRE SECRETLY GOT MARRIED TO A MYSTERY WOMEN"

"DID BILLIONAIRE GOT MARRIED TO HIS SECRET LOVE OR IS IT JUST A SHOW?"

All the news channels were talking about them and only them. Emily, later got to know that just some pictures, with her face either cut off or blurred out, were "accidently" leaked. And "their" so-called made up lovestory was also leaked, in which they accidently met each other in a bar, and both felt that spark between them, and didn't even realise when that the little infactuation turned into love. The whole state was in awe , when this story got to their ears. Little did the poor fellows know, how fake and made up that story was. It was decided that they would reveal Emily, after 4 months or so.

It has been two months since their wedding, but there was no bond between the spouses. He wasn't cold to her, nor he insulted her again like that night. He was just ignorant towards her. They didn't talk to each other unless needed. But she was satisfied with this arrangement, at least she wasn't beaten regularly as she was always done. She didn't want anything more.

Satisfied with her thoughts, she walked down to prepare the dinner. She all did was stay at home and be a good homemaker and did all her work silently.

She just greeted her maids with a simple yet warm smile and started preparing. She started preparing the supper. While making the supper,  Emily's eyes wandered to the window, and those black clouds indicated her nightmare was gonna start soon. Her hands began to tremble. She soon steadied herself and tried to distract herself. But all went in vain until Logan walked into the house after his long workday. He greeted her with a simple smile, and she returned the gesture. This was their routine. No words were exchanged until needed and they both were satisfied with it.

When the dinner got ready, her thoughts again drifted to the outdoor atmosphere and hoped that what she was thinking, shouldn't happen...

But the nature had other plans.
