Chapter Twenty Three

Emilia’s POV

I locked myself for most of the day in the room and wanted to stay locked up, but people needed to eat and things needed to get done. 

After a quick shower I made my way down to see all the girls and Nana cooking.

“How you feeling?”

They all gave me that I’m so sorry look, but I just smiled.

“Better, what are you all doing?”

“Baking.”

“Nana, said when we bake things get a little sweeter.”

I laughed, nodding my head.

“Nana is right.”

“Honey, you should be in bed, resting.”

“I can’t Nana, it only makes things worse.”

“How about you go take a walk that always helps?”

“I was thinking about it, but with Christian back…”

“Oh honey, he left.”

“He did?”

“Said he’d be back tomorrow, so go on and take that walk.”

I nodded and ran out the door and into the woods. As soon as I reached my destination I felt ten times better. I breathed in the fresh air and closed my eyes, smiling. 

“Hello again.”

I stopped and turned.

“Oh my god you scared me.”

She laughed and stepped forward.

“Didn’t see you last night.”

“My husband came home.”

“But you’re here today.”

I nodded.

“He left again.”

“I think your husband has a problem staying home.”

I shrugged and looked away.

“He’s a busy man.”

“Too busy it seems. What happened to your arm?”

“Nothing, I fell.”

“Is that all?”

I shrugged, sitting down on my usual rock.

“I made him mad.”

She huffed and sat next to me.

“How could you possibly make him mad?”

“He thinks I’m sleeping with Mike too.”

“God, what is his problem?”

I sighed.

“I told him I didn’t want to live like this and before I could finish he told me that I couldn’t leave him, that if I were to leave it would be in a coffin.’

“Oh my god!”

She covered her mouth and shook her head.

“Do you think he would do that?”

I nodded without hesitation.

“Well maybe if…”

“Emilia!”
