Chapter 35 (TWISTED)

The soft tap on her arm woke Naomi up the next day. She opened her eyes slowly and they fell on Emily who was smiling at her.

“What?” she asked without moving. “Do you want to read the contract with us?” she asked her with smile on her face. “I’m not interested.” Naomi closed her eyes. “Okay then, but you should stand up now before Madam Gloria comes in.”

Emily left the room after saying that. Naomi scoffed, she looked at the clock on the wall and sprang up.

“Oh my God, I overslept.” She removed the blanket on her and stood up from the bed. She entered the bathroom, took her bath, brushed her teeth and then changed in to another gown but the same color with the one she removed.

“Michael.” Emily called him and he turned around. “Come here.” She gestured to him and he came hurriedly. “What is it?” He wiped the sweats on his forehead.

“Let’s go read this.” She showed him the contract she hid inside her gown. “Okay. But what if Madam Gloria sees us?”

“Hey, man up. Don’t be scared, Emily will take care of everything.” She winked at him and he giggled. “Alright, let’s go.” He followed her in to the garden where there were no one around. They were all in the house surrounding, taking care of the flowers.

“Sit here.” She tapped the bench and Michael sat down. Emily brought out the document from her gown and flipped the page.

“See? Marriage contract.” She showed him the first word written boldly on it. “Yes, let’s see the next page.” She flipped the page again and they read the writings. Emily was shocked and so was Michael when they were done reading the contract.

It wasn’t a marriage contract like it was written, it was a contract to become a servant in that house.

“How could he do this to you?” Michael gasped. “Harry did this on purpose. I was so stupid not to have concentrated on reading it before signing it.” She closed the document.

“And at the last, he said you would hand over Jeff to him and would never see him again. Oh my God, if only you concentrated on what you were reading.” He shook his head.

“How dare he did this to me. This won’t have happened if I had showed the contract to Belle, I’m sure she would read it and call my attention to it.” Emily clenched her fist.

“I’ll make sure Harry regret what he did to me. He separated me from my child and made me become a servant in his house.” She stood up angrily.

“Where are you going?” Michael asked her. “I’m going in to that apartment to give him a piece of my mind and then take my child,” she said in anger.

“Calm down Emily, do not go there,” He held her hand “Leave me alone, I will go there. My child is already in danger and I might lose him. I can’t be so lame to leave my child suffering in their hand. Naomi said Jeff has turned skinny, he was fine when I birth him.”

“And you believe Naomi?” Michael scoffed. “Of course I believe her, she went there yesterday and saw him.” She sniffed. “That doesn’t mean she told you the truth. Naomi might have done that to make you feel sad. She’s my sister and I know her better,” he sighed worriedly.

“But Naomi…” She was interrupted by Naomi’s laughter. “Michael is right,” she said with a grin after she was done laughing. “Can you come again?” Emily said and she giggled.

“I did saw Jeff yesterday but he isn’t the way I told you he is. He’s not sick.” She laughed. “Naomi, how could you. I didn’t even sleep yesterday.” Emily shook her head.

“That was what I wanted. I’m glad it worked out. Anyways, give me the document.” She grabbed it from Emily and sat on the bench. “What da!” She looked at Emily.

“Tell me you signed this.” She flipped the pages and saw a signature. “Emily, you signed this?” she asked and Emily nodded her head. “Oh my God!” Naomi started laughing again.

“I can’t believe they fooled you in to signing this. Oh well, there’s no one to blame here. You should blame yourself for falling in to this.” She hand over the document to Michael.

“So what is your next move now?” Naomi looked at Emily who was still standing. “I want to take vengeance,” she said. “With who?” Naomi’s face lit up. “With Harry, his Mum and everyone behind this.”

“Really?” Michael and Naomi said at once. “Yes,” Emily answered Surprisingly. “Then we will help you.” Naomi smiled at her. “Naomi, you are smiling at me. Why?” Emily asked.

“Forget about that. I just like the word vengeance. Don’t think I’ve started liking you, I still hate you. I just want to partake in this.” She rolled her eyes.

“Whatever you say, Naomi.” Emily shook her head. “I can’t believe I fell for another lie again. I think I have to start working on myself.” She eyed Naomi. “Stop looking at me that way of else I say something horrible to you.”

“You girls should stop arguing. You are not even sisters,” Michael sighed. “I’ll never be her sister as long as she’s in love with Harry,” she snapped her fingers.

Harry stood on the balcony watching the Servants that were cutting the flowers and sweeping the floor. He looked around but didn’t see Emily among them.

“Emily isn’t there,” he said to Ron who was standing beside him. “Yes sir, she isn’t among them. Maybe she has another work to take care of there,” he said and Harry nodded his head.
