Trap with Mr.Bettencourt ( The Imperfect Perfectly Love Stories)

*Chapter-6* Emily in New york*

Chapter*VI- ( New York)
*Emily in New York*

I was so exhausted after a twelve hour duty in the hospital as a general doctor and some of my fellow doctors just don't know how to be considerate of me. Just because I don't have a family of my own doesn't mean I don't have a life anymore.
I still have a boyfriend who's sometimes voicing out already that I don't have time for him and that my life revolves around my home and the hospital only.
Driving back to my Aunts house it was already past two o'clock in the morning.
Aunt Judy is probably sleeping again waiting for me in the couch, that thought came popping in my mind. A smile form on my lips
She's a dear Aunt to me. I was so thankful that Aunt Judy was granted custody over me and since day one my Aunt never change treating me as one of her family. Uncle Tom is a very kind men, John and Timothy is like a big brother to me they both got their own family and I'm so blessed to see their little small bundles of joy growing up.
Judith is the first child and is a certified lawyer while the youngest Daughter of Aunt Judy, Mary Jane is a school teacher.
Over all everyone from the siblings got a professional job, including me.
Normally my dream is to become a psychiatrist but Aunt Judy wants me to pursue doctorate. She explained that my mom was supposed to be a doctor if she didn't meet my dad and move in Catalonia Spain with him.
So I pursue what Aunt Judy wants and when I graduated two years ago i decided to take PsyD(or Doctor of psychology).
In my own perspective I believe that understanding and helping people solve the innermost problem inside their heart and mind could lessen physical abuse in a family or in a relationship.
Although my Aunt never explain about what really happens to my parents I somehow feel that there's some connection with it and me studying PsyD.
Not wanting to attract attention I park my car outside the house, and open the small gate.
Walking in the cemented floor in the middle of a Bermuda grass in front of my Aunt house i notice some gushing and hushes beside the house. My mind became alert fishing out the stun gun I have in my bag I grip it tighter as I walk towards where the sounds coming from and saw a very shocking scene.
Mj my younger cousin is making out with none other than Anthony my boyfriend! I doesn't know what to do, or how I would feel. Seeing Mj and Anthony being intimate makes me wonder if I'm really seeing them or am I over fatigues that I am starting to see things? My hands start to shake making the stun gun fall in the Bermuda grass. Although it didn't create much sound it was enough to caught the attention of the two. They both stared with wide eyes seeing me standing not so far from where they are hiding.
Anthony quickly move away from Mj and walk towards me but that's the time I felt my body start to function once again.
All that was running in my head is that i need to escape from them, I don't want to confront what I just saw. I just want to be in my room shut the door closed and think that nothing really happened.
There's too much to reconsider.
One, I owe my life to this family and I don't want to ruin it. It's probably me, maybe the lack of attention i give to Anthony made him do such a thing.
Two, I don't want to put Mj on the spot and put her down to her parents.
Three, I love this family too much that I wanted to overlook what just happened, if possible I wanted this incident not to even reach my Aunt Judy's ear.
But all the things I plan inside my head, never happened in reality.
Anthony manage to reach my arm when i step inside the main door. Mj is shouting to Anthony demand him to stop touching me and let me go.
This commotion was heard instantly by my Aunt who is sleeping on the couch just like what i expected in my mind a while ago before i drive back home.
" What's happening?"Aunt Judy is still rubbing her eyes when she walk to me.
" Nothing Aunt Judy, why are you sleeping in the couch again? Didn't I told you not to wait for me." I said to her misleading her question and tries to bring her to walk to her room.
I immediately push Anthony's hand off my arm but not one minute later Mj came in and call for her mom.
" Mom, I need to tell you something." Mj said passing me by looking straight at me without regret or guilt.
" Yes Dear, what is it?" Puzzled Auntie Judy asked.
"Aunt Judy it's nothing come let's go to your room.." I tried to counterattack what Mj said but she keep on insisting.
" Ok,enough of you guys! What is it that you want to tell me Mj?"Aunt Judy asked fully awake now and a bit irritated.
" I'm having an elicit relationship with Emily's boyfriend." Mj bluntly admitted to her mother that made the later almost fainted.
" Mj stop this right now." I scold her feeling the irritation rising up in my body. What the hell is wrong with this woman?!
Can't she see this is making her mom stressful?!
" You what?!" Aunt Judy asked but before Mj could repeat herself proudly my aunts hand landed on her face.
" You disgraceful woman! how could you be even proud of what you did when you knew you hurt other people's feeling!" she accused before glancing at me with a said look in her face. I tried to not let a single tears fall on my cheeks, I told myself be strong Em, Don't let Aunt Judy feel more sad and sorry for you.
"And you damn bastard! You no longer welcome in this household, Get the fuck out of my house!"Aunt Judy pointed her finger to a shock Anthony. Even I was frozen for a second when I heard my Aunt cursed words. I have never ever heard her cuss before.
" No! You can't Mom?! I'm with child and his the father." Mj said that made all of us baffled .
" How could you!"Aunt Judy start to cry slapping her hands everywhere that she could hit Mj.
Alarm ring on my head knowing Mj is pregnant and Aunt Judy's blood might spike up.
Luckily Anthony was there using his body to cover up for Mj.
"Mom stop it please...you're hurting Anthony." Mj cry.
"Aunt Judy please calm down..." I tried to break her apart from Mj but she still keeps on hitting him or her.
"What the hell is going on here?!" Uncle Tom asked in confusion seeing the commotion in the sala.
"Uncle Tom please help me calm Aunt Judy"I begged of him but it's too late Aunt Judy fainted making everyone go in panicked.

********
The rest was history.
I decided to move on asking my Aunt permission to move out of her house and try a new life in Spain.
At first she refuses to let me go but I told her I can't bear seeing Mj's belly growing while Anthony's constantly in Aunt Judy's Home, the marriage planning and stuff. I felt suffocated and told my real feelings to Aunt Judy after hearing my side  Aunt Judy felt guilty for not thinking about how I would feel about the current situation  and decided to finally let me go.

But now that I am finally here, I got a new problem again.
After reaching back home, I offered the Lady assisting me a while ago for a drink even though i don't own a thing on the fridge.
"Shameless woman." Says my subconscious mind.

" You want some refreshment? Im sorry but I didn't caught your name. May I asked who you are?" I asked while we are in the kitchen. The lady who wear a black suit and necktie giggle at me before offering her hand for a hand shake.
"Hi, my name is Sora from now on, I'm your new body guard." She spoke that made me almost spill the entire carrot juice l was pouring on the glass.
"Oh no, please be careful, Master Nico doesn't like a mess on the ground." Sora said damping a dry towel with soap and cleaning the ground where some juice spilled over.
Surprised I just watch Sora until she's done and we are both sitting back in the rounded table.
" So, is that the weird guy you're calling Master Nico?" I asked attempting to gain some information.
Sora nod her head.
" his not weird, Lady Emily, his just different."Sora defended him more than enough to make me think there's something going on between the two. Sora seems like she read my thought and quickly explained her side.
" Believe me or not Master Nico, is a good person, he's only not used to communicating with other people?"

" So, This Master Nico of yours has a social anxiety disorder?" I asked curiously.
My study in psychology start to perk up my curiosity to that Nico guy I met with all of his naked glory.
Sora didn't like what i said and walk out of the kitchen without a word. With Sora's long legged stride before i can reach her she was already at the door. She bow her head to me like Japanese people do in the movies.
" Please forgive me for not answering your question Lady Emily I must go, my father would probably scold me if he knows I talk to you casually." Sora said and start to leave but this time I'm quick to stop her holding the hem of her suit. I gave her a friendly smile so she won't feel offended.
" He won't know nothing of what we talk today. Please continue talking casually to me and just call me Em if nobody is around." I said to her that made her smile.
Somehow i felt like Sora and I could be a good friends someday.
When Sora left five minutes later the door bell ring and I saw in the spy hole it was Mr.Yamato together with a tall guy that quite resembles Sora.
" Lady Emily forgive me for coming late I hope you weren't hurt anywhere." Mr.Yamato asked in concern when they came in.
I invited the two of them to sit but only Mr.Yamato did.
The other guy who resemble Sora was just standing next to Mr.Yamato.
Mr.Yamato seems like he have read my mind and answered my unvoiced question.
" This is Roku twin brother of Sora they are both my kids, Lady Emily."He explain.

" Wow that's amazing, Mr.Yamato would you mind if I asked, why are you always keep on referring me as Lady than Ms? I'm sorry but it's just making me feel uncomfortable and please I don't need a bodyguard in my own house. Not that I don't like Sora I would really love if she could come over once in while if she's not busy but as a visitor not a bodyguard, besides I can't afford a luxury life like that." I honestly told him.
" No problem Lady Emily, Master Nico is the one providing for your safety while you're staying here, and please forgive me but I can't change how I refer you as. My family is serving the Bettencourt family from generations to generation.
Calling you as Lady than Ms. is more like I'm already used to it ever since my childhood.
We call our boss as master and the woman in the family is called Lady.
In your case Lady Emily you are not like other people.
You are more like an extended family because of your parents."He explain that made me speechless for a second.
Wow, so they treat me like a family?
That really sounds welcoming to my ears.
I was not yet done composing the question in my head when Mr.Yamato's phone vibrate.
I motion for him to answer it and after a few minutes of conversation, Mr.Yamato told me his leaving and that I could feel free to used all what's inside my house.
He also mentioned that Sora will be coming back tomorrow morning.
Having no other choice I bid them goodbye.
I sigh when I shut the door closed.
There's still too many question that's floating in my mind but I guess it's not yet the time for a Q and A portion.
Now that I'm alone I think fixing my things upstairs is the best option to divert my mind from thinking back to what happens to me an hour ago.
What an eventful day.
I sigh walking up the stairs back to the room I choose to sleep in.
