Emily was an orphan, and her uncle and aunt never failed to remind her that every day, still she didn't say anything. Emily was abused and used by her aunt and uncle, and the outer world was unaware about this fact. And Emily never even thought to r...

THE DINNER WAS ALREADY eaten, and it was eaten oddly earlier this day. Logan was still working for his new project, but unlike other days, he was working in his room.
Emma, cleaned up everything in the kitchen, and was about to walk to "their" bedroom, when she froze, realizing that she has to, yet again, survive her nightmare. The dazzling thunder bolt that struck from the sky, took out all the energy out of her. Like it always did.
Emma knew that Logan was working in "their" room, and she didn't want to disturb him. To be more appropriate, she didn't want to receive any punishment tonight.
She served the dinner early tonight, to have a peaceful breakdown in their room tonight, as Logan always worked in his home-office and would only come after 11 late at night, till then she was sure, she may have cried herself to sleep. But those plans went upside down, when Logan decided to work in their room tonight.
But anyway, she can't disturb him now. She took a step down, but again a bolt struck the sky, squeezing all the life out of her.
She somehow, with her wobbly feet, reached the kitchen, but she didn't have anywhere to hide, except a new wardrobe, where she didn't arrange the kitchen holds yet, and she was now glad she didn't.
When she was just seven years old, she had to share a small room with her cousin, and if these thunder storms took place, she would have hugged her cousin tight to herself, regardless of the fact that her cousin soon pushed her away. But that gave Emma, the required warmth and energy to survive those deathly storm nights.
But when she was shifted to a small attic, she didn't have any one to hug or snuggle into, so she would always hide herself in a wardrobe or so, just to keep her warm and safe. But that didn't prevent her from crying. Over years, Emma couldn't cop up with those storms, instead those storm became more dreadful to her. Whenever these storms may occur, Emma always kept herself hidden into some wardrobe.
Tonight, wasn't any different, the same was the sky, the same was she alone, just the different was the home. But did the home change the situation?
Emma, just like she always did, hide herself in an empty wardrobe, and cried her tears out, but with silent sobs. She waited for the darkness to lullaby her soon, but she didn't except a light to arrive to save her.

Logan's throat was dry as a desert, and he needed just a glass of water. He tried to push that need away, since he had a lot of work to complete by tonight. But soon, he found himself walking down to a oddly silent hallway.
Emma was always silent, didn't use her words until needed, but there would be always some noises, like her feet's padding sounds, some utensil ones, but today it was oddly silent.
He even realized this, when the dinner was served oddly early tonight. He also observed that, Emma barely ate anything, she just played with her food the whole dinner, every now and then glancing at him. Even though, she always ate less, but today, she ate VERY less.
After "they" had finished their dinner, Logan went upstairs to complete his work, but he today, chose to work in "their" room, wanting to see what Emma was really upto. But Emma didn't really came up, which was yet again odd, since her bed time was 9, and it was already 8.45.
They even though didn't share much bond, Logan seemed to know this much about his "wife". Since, Logan's grandmother loved to give surprize visits to her favourite grandchildren couple every now and then, Logan and Emily in order to avoid any suspension, had to sleep in the same room. His gradma's visits were more like a whole weekend stay than a suprise visit, which they didn't much other than that they have to sleep in a same room.. But they never shared the same bed, Logan slept on the king size bed alone, and Emma on a huge sofa in their room. He even asked Emma, if they should shift another bed in the room, but Emma was persistent to continue her uncomfortable sleep routine.
With these thoughts, Logan was welcomed with a silence in the kitchen. He took a glass of water, and was about to exit the kitchen, but a barely audible sob, froze him.
Logan was a smart and a very clever bussinessman. He just didn't know how to keep his face stoic, but also knew how to read a person's face without much efforts. His eyes and his hears were trained to catch even the most unnoticable things. So, it wasn't much of a surprize to him that he was able to hear a barely audible sound.
He just blinked and waited for another sob to guide him. But there wasn't any.
When he was about to leave the kitchen, thinking that his mind was just playing tricks, a thunder struck and...

as promised, chapter one is here!
also, i want to clear some stuffs here- EMMA ISN'T SCARED OF LOGAN THAT HE MAY GIVE HER ANY PUNISHMENT, but her mind is trained in the way that if anything would happen, she might be punished, becuse of her aunt and uncle. Whenever Emma did something wrong, her aunt and uncle would punish her. All this happened to her, since she was just seven. Hence, her mindset is built up in that way. NEVER EVER LOGAN TOUCHED HER IN ANY WAY.
Well for cast - you can imagine Lily Colins as Emma And Theo James as Nicolas.
