CADE POV
I stood by the wine cellar, having a drink and also thinking about every thing that happened just a few minutes ago.
What I had in mind before was the kidnap issue,I never thought that some thing bigger will be waiting for me.
I had a child! A child was born out of my cruelty towards Emily and even with that Emily had want the child but my mom being my mom had killed the child ,if that is even really true,I thought as I sipped the wine again.
“I thought you would be working, trying to relive your self, you always did that each time you were worried about some thing, am surprised to find you here “My father said as he walked into the room
“Are you worried about your mom?”he asked softly
“I always knew that she is capable of any thing but for her to have done that,it’s just so cruel”I said
“Denise have always been some one who deals with things the way she wants”
“I never knew that she was up to that back then,she always told me that Racheal was in a good boarding school and that she is doing well but it turns out that the poor thing was pregnant and with your child “He finished gently
“I feel so wretched dad”I began softly
“I should have been there for her but being a coward who didn’t want to face up to reality, I chose to run away leaving Emily in mom hands”
“If I had known that Emily will be going through all of that, I would never have left”I said
“But now you know and you should be by her side to give her all the support she needs”He said
“I don’t know dad! Each time I think that every thing will be fine and that we will be happy and also get to live in peace some thing from the past occurs”
“I feel like I…..I don’t deserve her, I did so many harm to her dad,I should be the one sufyfering not her”I said and gently he pat my back
“Whether you believe it or not, you have also suffered too, you also payed for what you did back then and that’s a fair share, you shouldn’t think that way, am sure that Emily will also support my point”
“She wouldn’t want you feeling this way Cade, now more than ever you have to be strong for her”He said
“Can I really do that? I don’t think I can be strong for her dad! “I replied softly
“Well you have to Cade, I wish your mom hadnt done that but it can’t be help, she made a mistake and she has to pay for it , you made a mistake and you have payed enough for it, you should try to be happy now, try to be happy and live your life “he said and for a while I thought about what he said.
Have also been suffering for what I did years ago, so it’s only fair that I get to be happy too and if it’s with Emily,then so be it.
A while later I walked back into the bed room and saw that she was still sleeping.
The drugs has taken its effect because she has been sleeping for over an hour now.
I walked towards her and held her hand, giving it a light peck
“Our child as you said could be dead and if it turns out that she is alive, I will do my best to find her Emily! I will find her and bring her to you”I said starring at her sleeping figure
“And how do you plan on doing that? Didn’t you hear what your mom said earlier ?”Emily mom asked as she stood by the door way
“I heard it and she might just be lying?”
“You of all people know who your mother is, will she make a threat and not stick to it? She killed Emily Mom, tried to kill Emily and then she joined forces with that sick guy and they both kidnap my daughter”
“Tell me if a woman who is capable of doing all that wouldn’t be able to kill a poor helpless child “she asked
“Emily believes that the child is alive”I said
“That is what she wants to believe because she wants it to be the truth but for you and I,I think we should face the truth and that is Emily child is dead”She said
“This wouldn’t be happening if you had never entered our lives again”
“She was fine in the city, working and living comfortably but you just had to show up, reviving her of her terrible past”
“You have been nothing but a pain Cade, you have been ruining her life for a long time and I think it’s time you stop”She added
“What do you mean by I should stop?”I asked
“Leave her! Divorce her , do what ever you can to be separated from her, you leaving her now will be the best thing for her ” she yelled at me
“But I love her and…… ..”
“Your love wouldn’t be able to give her the peace she deserves, it wouldn’t be able to rectify what happen in the past, it won’t bring back your dead child, the only thing you can do for her right now is to leave her “she said
“You have no idea how worried her father and I have been and if Micheal hadn’t call to tell me about her kidnap, you would have kept on putting us in the dark”
“I would have call you but I ……….”
“No need to explain Cade, just please do what I ask you to do! Emily life matters to me so much, if I have to beg you on my knees,I will”She said wanting to go down on her knees but I stopped her and she stood up starring at me
“I can’t promise you anything but I will think about it “I said and left the room in a rush.

EMILY POV
I sat in the bed eating the porridge my mom had made her self
“It’s been a while since have seen Cade? Do you know where he might be?”I asked as I kept on eating the food
“I…I don’t know and if it were up to me,I wouldn’t want us knowing where he is”she said
“What are you saying mom?”I asked as I stopped eating to stare at her
“It’s about time you stop this Emily, let go of cade once and for all, you deserve a better life than this”she said
“I already have a better life with Cade, so please don’t start on that “I said
“He ruined your life Emily and if we don’t leave his life, he will keep on ruining your life and I don’t want that”
“Stop it mom, Cade is also a victim like me and I love him ”
“A love that is bound to cost you your life, can’t you see that as long as you are with him, your life will keep on being in danger?”she asked
“I have Cade Mom and he will protect me always,so stop asking me to leave him” I said
“Do you know how worried your father and I have been ever since you two got married, he asked us not to tell you the truth and we gave him a chance just as he had asked ”
“You remembered some how and ever since then your life have been in danger or did you think I wouldn’t know, since you didn’t bother to tell us”She said
“I see that Gracie and Micheal have been giving you all the information you need but as you can see mom, am perfectly okay”
“If you are okay,we are not okay, we worry about you and we love you like you are our own daughter and I made a promise to your late mom to always keep you safe but am failing, am failing Emily!”She said
“You are not failing mom, you have been a great mom to me and I thank you for it, i thank you for being there for me and also for loving me like I was yours but I can’t leave Cade, I love him so much”I said
“Even when he is the cause of every thing that have been happening to you?”she almost yelled at me
“It’s his mom and as you’ve seen, she has been taken to jail, I can’t leave, my life is here now and I need to find my child”
“Your child? Really! Do you believe that Denise will keep that child alive”She asked
“I believe that my child is not dead”I said
“She is dead and it’s all because of Cade mom, can’t you see that all this is happening because you are with Cade, he is the cause of every thing that have been happening in our lives, so please just stop this maddness and leave him now”she said and for a while I was quiet.
I noticed some one standing by the door way and It turns out to be Cade and from the look on his face, he has been listening to our conversation.
