Living A Liar’s Life
Season 2
Episode 39
By : Kebby NG
WILLIAM POV
Quickly I ran after him but I didn’t see a sign of him when I got outside
If his prey is Emma, Then he must certainly be going after them
I began to look for Emma and Brian,Judging by the cars and the guards who were by it, they were still around here,They hadn’t left yet
I brought out my phone and dialled their number but no one is picking up.
Going to one of the guard who must have certainly seen them when they came out ,I asked him about them
“His majesty and his bride went through this street,Her Highness kept going even when his Highness kept calling her,I think they must have had a fight”The gossiping guard replied
With out waiting to hear more,I ran through the path where the guard had said they went through
And not too far from me were the both of them.
Judging from their expression they were still arguing
Just seeing her safe made me sigh In relief,As soon as Emma leave,I will make sure Brian gets it from me,If her life is being threatened then it’s all Brian’s fault
Just then I looked across the street and I saw the suspicious man again
He was on the roof top and judging from the way he stood, He had the gun in his hands and he was pointing it to where Brian and Emma stood
Quickly I ran towards them,Calling out their name for them to move but then the gun had already been shot.
We all fell on the floor after the impact, The passerby had began to run after hearing the shot and some of the guards came towards us protecting us while the others went to where the gun had been shot
“Are you okay!”I heard Brian asked
“Am fine!” Emma said and I felt relieved on hearing that she was okay
“William are you okay!”I heard Emma ask
“Yes I am fine”I replied as I sat up only to feel pain below my abdomen
“My God William,You are bleeding “Emma cried as she ran towards me and held me in her arms
The gun had been shot but I had been the one who got shot,If I hadn’t seen it coming Emma would have been shot instead of me
“Call for help,Hurry up”I heard Brian yelling to his guards
“Hey William stay awake,You have got to stay awake”Brian said as he crouched beside me
The pain was so intense that I only wanted to sleep it off
But one look at Emma crying face,Made me held on
Touching her cheek gently,I smiled at her and she held my hand
“Just stay awake okay,The ambulance will be here soon “She said as she held my hand
“I know,I know”I muttered softly
BRIAN POV
While I stayed in the ambulance with William,The guards drove Emma to the hospital in our car
While the paramedics did their job to get William back in control,I sat watching every thing.
It had all happened so fast, There I was talking to Emma and suddenly we both heard William calling our names and then the gun was shot.
None of us realised that it had hit William,It wasn’t until he sat up that we noticed.
The gun would have hit Emma If it hadn’t been for William,She would be the one in this situation
“Your majesty,The patient want to say some thing to you,He wouldn’t listen until you do”The medic said and I moved towards William
“Yo…..you ha…..got to protect Emma,The shooter seems to be targeting her”He said softly
“What? But why?”I asked
“Who is the only enemy that Emma has” he asked and I thought about it for a while and when he saw my expression he used his remaining strength to pull my shirt
“You say you love her, Then protect her and the only way you can do that is by leaving her side,leave her so she doesn’t get harmed by your father ”
“”I took the bullet for this one,Am sure that there is many to come so please do the right thing this time, leave her before it becomes worse”He whispered before falling unconscious
The ambulance stopped then and quickly he was taken to the operating room while we waited in the lobby
Emma sat on the chair starring at her bloody hands
She feels guilty because he had taken the bullet for her
Just then William words came back to haunt me
“I took the bullet for this one,Am sure that there is many to come so please do the right thing this time, leave her before it becomes worse”
” leave her so she doesn’t get harmed by your father ”
Could my dad really have caused this,would he have tried to harm Emma but he doesn’t know that she is the same child from Twenty years ago
I made sure that I was careful about him knowing the truth,I had given little hints to mom the day she came to the study and found me there but she wouldn’t have known that Emma is the child
I had been surprised to know that little Helen was Emma
I wouldn’t have ever guessed that it was her and so it will be the same thing with him or it wouldn’t,I thought again
Have got to know,Have got to find out if Dad was behind this attack
Going to Emma,I knelt in front of her and wiped away her tears
“I need to go back to the palace,Do you want to come or do you want to stay here”He asked
“I will stay behind,You should go to the palace but please! Be safe, I don’t want you to be in the same shoes as William” She said and i nodded gently
I kissed her lips and gave her one last look before I left the hospital.
I got back to the palace and went in search of my father .
He wasn’t in his room when I went there to search for him
I got to the study room and went in unannounced only to see him there and he wasn’t alone,He was also with James,My private investigator
“Have told you severally that you should always knock when coming into the study”He yelled at me
“Why? Is it because you are hiding Some thing”I asked starring at James,Who could not stare back at me ,He looked like some one who have been caught doing some thing bad
“Don’t disrespect me Brian”He yelled at me
“How much!”I asked as I stared at James
“Pardon your Majesty?”he replied and i felt like punching his face
“How much did he pay you!”I yelled again
“You don’t have to answer him,you can go James,I will handle my son”He said and quickly James scrambled out
“What has gotten into you now?”He said
“Why did you do it dad,Why did you try to kill my wife”I said
“I don’t know what you are talking about”He said
“You don’t? You really don’t know? You must be kidding me right?”I asked
“I don’t know,I didn’t try to kill any one,why would I want to kill your wife?”He asked
“Because you know every thing,Only James and I know my wife real identity and if he was here,Definitely you know the truth” I said
“Yes I won’t deny that I know the truth about your wife but I didn’t send anyone to harm her “He said looking so sincere
“I don’t believe you,You are the only one who would want to harm Emma”I said
“I swear I didn’t do it so ,I didn’t cause any harm on your wife,”He said again and he looked sincere
“I still don’t believe you dad and I will do my best to protect her from you,You have caused her pain in the past but not any more”I said as I walked out of the study feeling more confused than ever
He sounded sincere,Could he really be saying the truth,Could he be innocent,I thought as I went back out side only to see James
I went to him and pulled him by the collar
“You promised to keep shut about it and yet you told my father”I yelled at him
“Am sorry your majesty but I had no choice”
“Because of the money?”I asked
“Am sorry your majesty”
“What else does my father know”I asked
“Well…….”
“Speak up!”I yelled at him again
“He knows that lady Alicia is Dora and that William ray is Ivan ” he said
“You just found out about Alicia recently right?”I asked
“Yes I just did”He said and I let him go
Some how I believe that my father does not have a hand in this,Have got to know who this person is because it’s too late.
