(American Story)
Episode 5
By : Kebby NG
EMMA POV
Still starring at the man who walked in,Brian stone who has been starring at me finally turned around to look at the intruder
“What do you want?”He asked impatiently
“Well I just want to know how the young miss is doing your highness” the man said
“Your not a part of my team, Who are you? or better yet who sent you? ” Brian asked
“Its My boss, Don Michael” He replied
“I should have known” Brian responded looking angry
I stared at the Prince and saw the way he reacted with just seeing one of Michael guards
I recognised the man because he was the one who had always hang around Michael and am sure that he came in only to confirm that I hadn’t been telling the Prince any thing about him,I thought feeling so very angry
“You can tell him to mind his darn business and the next time you come In like that without knocking,I will personally throw you in Jail” Brian said angrily and the guard smirk giving me a warning look before he left the room
“The nerve of that ba$tard! How dare he send his guard here to check on you,You were never close with him Dora! How come he is asking about you?”
“I…..I….. I ” I couldn’t utter a thing because I was scared
Scared to say the wrong thing and ruin Michael plan
” It was our engagement party last night,You should have had enough decency to have stayed behind after the great scandal you caused”He said again
“Scandal? I caused a scandal?” I asked
“Yes, You did? Don’t tell me that this little accident you had,Had erased your memory”
“I really don’t know what your talking about”
“The doctor said you only hit your head and suffered a bruise which he thinks it hadn’t been caused by the accident more like a punch on the face”
He was probably talking about the punch Michael gave me
“Apart from that you are perfectly okay,You certainly can’t be having amnesia and besides you have to tell me what got that bruise on your face” He demanded
“Its nothing?” I replied
“You were perfectly alright When you left the party!”
“I just knock myself on the wall” I Lied touching my bruised face
“Fine,If you don’t want to tell me,That’s your problem,We aren’t that close to want to pry in each other lives”
To know that Dora and the Prince weren’t close enough with each other only made me feel wary
How can two people who want to spend the rest of their lives together don’t meddle In each other affairs
Never have I had a guy who cherished me or loved me, Working a lot made me so busy that I hardly had time for it but now I have no option than to be In a relationship which I certainly don’t want
“What matters now,Is what you did at the party,You really got everyone angry” He said
I sighed gently,I didn’t know what Dora did before she left the party yesterday,
The stupid Michael should have at least have some knowledge in this before sending me into the dragon den
Suddenly his phone began to ring and frustratedly he answered and after speaking on it for a while,He turned it off
“That is my mom,She has just called to tell me that the newspaper is already out”
“Can you please tell me what happened last night?” I asked as gently as I could
“My God its so easy for you to forget right?” He asked angrily
“I didn’t forget it on purpose, I was caught up in an accident and I can’t recall some few things”
“Fine then,Since you claim to be having a temporary amnesia,I will tell you what you did”
“Yesterday had suppose to be the day we get engaged but due to your stupid pride you have made it all useless”
“Have a look at this!’He said thrusting me his phone
I picked it up and saw Dora kssing a man at the balcony
Seemed like she hadn’t know that some one had caught them both
A while later I saw a picture of her and her lover kssing being displayed on the big screen at the engagement party
A while later I saw another video of her storming out of the room into her car and then driving off
If only she had known that entering her car will be the last one for her that night ,Then she probably might still be alive
“So? What do you have to say to that” He questioned fiercely
“That am sorry for causing all this problem” I replied and saw the surprise on his face.
What is wrong now? Have I just said something wrong?
BRIAN POV
For a while I kept on starring at her, Did she just say that she would apologise, Have something come over her or is her accident worst that ?
I still can’t believe that Dora Baxter apologizes
When I saw the video of her kissing another guy I didn’t feel jealous or to feel the things that should be felt by an engage besotted guy
I wasn’t i n love with her and she can have her own lover for all I care but she could at least have done it with a little bit of discretion
“Why are you starring at me like that?” Dora asked and once again I starred at her
It kind of feel strange and I don’t know why but I feel that the Dora that woke up after the accident is different from the one of the past
Why I felt that way I would never know,Could just be my head wishing for a better Dora,I thought before putting it at the back of your mind
“You surprise me Dora,You never apologise to people but suddenly here you are! Apologising to me?,I will surely be surprised right?”I asked searching her face for a while but it remained as blank as possible.
Odd,I was able to read her thoughts by reading her face in the past but now,I can’t possibly read a thing,Has she built some kind of barrier to her self
” Was I that really bad?”She asked and I knew that it was time for her to see a doctor
She has certainly forgotten that she has a bad character,A character which almost everyone hate including me,If it hadn’t been for the merger,I would have left but I had to wait and I will keep on waiting until I get the chance to get her signature on the document and then I would leave her life completely
“As bad a wtch,You tormented always Everyone” I replied starring at her,Let her feel guilty for a while
Just then the door open and her parents walked in
“Finally she is up?” Minister Baxter yelled at her contemptuously
“You have brought nothing but disgrace Dora,Nothing but disgrace!” Her mother yelled at her
She sat on the bed and stared at them for a while before bringing herself to speak
“If I have cause anyone problem or pain then am sorry”She apologised again
I was sure that her parents were thrown off by her apology too but they didn’t show it as they continued to rant and rant on Dora head
The Dora I knew would have yelled at them to shut up or would have ask them to leave but she stayed mildly and accepted all their insult
This is something new to me,I thought standing behind not wanting to meddle
” Am sorry”She whispered again
“So finally you’ve learn to say the I’m sorry word right? Well it came at the wrong time, You have tarnished your reputation In front of his Highness, I only hope that you can live to bear the consequence” Dora mother flung at me
“Your highness,We will understand if you decide to cancel the wedding ” Minister Baxter said
Just hearing him say that I felt so relieved.
If I said yes,Then I won’t have to continue this farce,I thought hoping that he would refuse
I looked up and find them starring at me in a very strange way
Should I just stop this farce of a marriage,I thought
