Season 2
Episode 41
By : Kebby NG
EMMA POV
“A what?”I asked still not wanting to believe that Brian just asked me that
“I said we should get a divorce”He answered again
“But why?”I asked
“Because have just realised that Alicia and my child needs protection ”
“And how will you give them that protection?”I asked again
“By marrying her,Once have gotten the divorce from you,I will marry Alicia and you can continue with your life,Away from me” he said
I stared at him,To see if this is a joke but the expression in his eyes made it other wise.
He always has this expression his face each time he was serious about some thing and right now he was serious
“You cant possibly want to divorce me for that,You made it clear to me that you wouldn’t leave me because of the child you will be having with Alicia”
“Have changed my mind Emma”he answered cripsly
I walked towards him and held his face Starring into his blues eyes
“This must be a joke right? You are only saying this to punish me for what happen in the restaurant,Okay I take the blame, I should have just asked you but instead I called William out,Putting our lives at risk,Am sorry for that, I………”
“This is not a joke!”He said curtly cutting me off
“I really meant what I ……….”
“No! Don’t you dare finish it,Don’t you!” I said cutting off his words too
“I will pretend that you never said this,That this moment never happened and you should also do the same,I will leave first okay,See you at home “I said gently touching his face and giving him a fake smile
I walked out of the hospital intent on not letting a tear fall but it burst out when I sat in the car
How could he have asked for a divorce,I cried quietly,How could he?,I thought as I kept on crying silently in the car.
BRIAN POV
“You should head back home,You look a mess”Alicia said as she came to sit beside me
“I have to stay “I replied softly
“Are you that worried about me”She asked as she gave me a smile
“Don’t make your self feel so important, If am still here,It’s because of william”I said
“I thought as much,I was just hoping that perhaps you stayed because you are worried about our baby “She said touching her stomach
I will give up every thing I have just to know that Emma is now carrying my child,I thought sadly
“Tell me some thing Brian, if Emma hadn’t showed up in our life would you have loved me instead ?”She asked waiting for me to give her an answer
“I doubt it”I replied
“But why?”She asked
“Your personality,You have a very cruel streak in you and that is some thing I hate in people,That is why I can never fall for you”I said and she nodded having a cruel smile on her face
“So that’s why,You can’t love me because I some one who is cruel and heartless” She asked
“Don’t take it to heart,Am only telling you why I couldn’t love you in the past ,It’s all in the past and it will forever be in the past,So don’t think about it and keep on with being Alicia”I said
Just then the doctor came to us, Giving great news
William has finally woken up and he was asking to see me
“Would it be alright for me to go and see him”I asked
“It will,He is now out of danger,We will be transferring him out of the Emergency ward into a normal ward,Just come with me your majesty”The doctor said and immediately I went with him
I knew William wanted to see me to talk about Emma,She is the only thing that will bring us two together
The doctor led to a private ward and went in.
William was on the bed with a nurse hovering over him
While the doctor did his job and did a swift check up on William,I stood by the door watching it all.
A while later,The doctor and the Nurse left the room leaving William and I alone
“Am glad that you are okay”I said as I starred at him
“I thought you will be glad that am dead,After all am the only one who knows the truth”He said softly
“You are still not well enough to start making trouble”I said
“Really! Do you call what happened earlier trouble?”He asked
“She could have died “he said holding onto his wound
“I know and I know what you are thinking but it’s not my dad doing”I said
“Really! You think so?”he asked
“I know so,I went to confront him and he told me straight on that he knew of Emma real identity and that he didn’t send anyone to kill you”I said
“And let me guess,You believed him right?”He asked
“I know when my dad is being sincere or not and he was being sincere “I said
“Dmn it Brian,Wake up,Can’t you see that you being around Emma will cause her more harm,This is the first attack, surely there will be more to come ” he said
“I know and that’s why am giving her a divorce”I said
“You are what?”
“Am giving her a divorce and I will be leaving her life before some thing worse happens because of me “I said
“Won’t you tell her the truth?”He asked
“I will leave that to you to do, Am taking the coward way by leaving but it’s for the best”I said
“Knowing Emma she would want to know why you are asking for a Divorce,What would you say?!”He asked
“That I prefer to stay with Alicia and our child, I already told her but she thinks am lying and refuses to grant me the divorce,I will just have to be adamant about it”I said starring at him.
“Hope you are not just stringing Alicia along”He asked
“Alicia knows the score, Am only interested in the child and nothing else”I said
“Fine then,I will give you time to get the divorce “He said
“Thanks”I replied softly and then turned to leave
“I really expect you to get the divorce Brian, Don’t back out on your word”He said and i nodded before leaving the room
WILLIAM POV
I sat in the room way after Brian had left munching on the hospital food that had been brought to me
Just then the door opened and Alicia walked in
“How are you feeling ?”She asked
“Better”I said giving her a smile
“You ready are crazy you know”She said starring at me
“Why do you say that?”I asked as I kept on eating
“You really can ask me that after being through this?” she asked
“It was worth it,isn’t it? “I asked
“It was but not at the risk of you getting shot,I understand that you had all this planned just to make Brian see that him being with Emma will only bring her harm but you shouldn’t have gone far as to take the shot,You could have been killed”She said
“But am alive and the good news about it is that our plan got him thinking in the right direction”I said as I recalled how Alicia began the plan.

“Brian isn’t willing to let Emma go,What will you do about it ?”Alicia had asked me as we both sat in my apartment munching on some desert
“The fool says that he loves her and doesn’t want to tell her yet”I replied angrily
“Why don’t you just tell her your self”Alicia had asked
“I don’t want to do it,I want Brian to tell her him self and suffer the loathing and scorn she will send his way”I said
“How will you do that?” She asked again and just then a thought formed In my head
“By hiring some one who will scare him ” I said giving Alicia a smile.
