SILENT SLAVE

Chapter 8

EMILY'S POV

My husband motions for him to sit.

Karma kept looking at me.

"Have you met before?" Adams asks. Taking his gaze from karma to me.

"Umm...no, why do you say that?" I ask

"Nothing." He shrugs.

"Let's eat. Come to the dining." I tell them.

********************

✴End of flashback✴

Its all my fault, i should have made things right.
Adams wouldn't have died and Brenda wouldn't have gotten hurt.

"He abused my baby." I cry.

********************

Karma's POV

"That will teach her never to mess with me."

"Now to put the seed of discord between mother and daughter!"

Laughs.

"Foolish girl. She believed me when I told her that her mother sold her to me for wealth. And her father died because of her carelessness. She would be devastated by now."

Smirks.

"I'll keep using them.

What they don't know is that this mansion is not really mine but Brenda's.

And they would never find out." I laugh.

*********************

Brenda's POV

I try to wash up but the pain was too much.

I dragged myself back to my room and picked up my phone.

Hey girl -Molly says from the other end.

Mo...molly, please help me.

I passed out.

**************

I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar environment.

I look around.

There's detox water at my side and beeping machines

And there's a crying Molly.

She grabs my hand.

"Are you okay? You scared me." She kissed my hands.

"I'm fine Molly." I whisper cleaning tears off her cheeks.

She forces a smile.

"I was so worried. I thought I lost you." She starting crying again.

Molly could be over dramatic sometimes but she's the best friend I ever had. She cares a lot about me.

"Molly, I'm -"
I was interrupted when Molly's mum enters the room.

She comes close to me and touches my cheeks.

"How are you doing, sweety?"
She asks giving me a concerned look.

I could tell she was fighting back the tears. She was trying to stay strong for me.

"Fine Mrs Rachael." I smile.

She smiles back.

"Your mum was here earlier." She tells me.

The smile on my face vanished.

Rachael noticed.
"What's the matter?" She asks me.

"Nothing." I shrug.

"I would like to be left alone." I say looking towards the window.

"Alright!" Her voice was pained.

"Let's go Molly, we'll come back later. They leave the room.

Tears flow down my cheeks.

Karma's words flashes through my mind.

Why do you think she'll ever love you? You killed her husband. You killed your father Brenda!

I sob quietly.

"I'm sorry daddy." I whisper and closed my eyes.
