Chapter 110: Chapter 110

Emily stood outside the door to Ethan’s pent house while she rang the doorbell twice. It was impossible to explain how she felt but a seething anger was very much at the top of the list. She was very sure of how bedraggled she looked, her hair was tied back in a messy ponytail while she still had on the clothes from the previous days, her eyes had dark circles and she was very much tired but there was one thing she understood, Ethan was indeed the enemy and Ethan was the only reason why she would never be happy.

Her head raged with thoughts that felt strange to her, evil thoughts that came from the anger that festered within and she needed to let it out, whichever way possible.

Soon enough, the door sprung open and she came face to face with indeed Ethan’s handsome face. He was dressed casually in sweat pants and a t shirt, his hair ruffled like he had just rolled out of bed and his eyes roaming her as he took her in.

“If you’re here to ask for forgiveness, you’re a few months too late” his eyes dropped down to her stomach and Emily rolled her eyes as she pushed her way inside and the familiar smell of Ethan’s home hit her nose and the last thing she wanted to do was reminisce, there was nothing indeed to reminisce.

She turned back to look at Ethan and she held his stare for a few seconds before she spoke “I know what you did”

Ethan scoffed but she saw the surprise in his eyes tainted with a bit of fear and she relished in it.

“What are you talking about Emily?” he said

“Don’t do that with me Ethan” she stepped closer to him, her fingers pointed at his chest “I know what you bloody did, you planned it all. Victor Cornwell, the pictures on the internet, it was all you Ethan, how could you?”

Ethan’s eye widened “How did you – Amanda!” he muttered the last part under his breath and Emily scoffed loudly

“You can’t even bloody deny it Ethan, what the fuck were you thinking?” she yelled now.

“What did you expect me to do?” Ethan yelled back, stepping forward while Emily stood her ground staring deep into his eyes and unwavering “You are in love with my fucking brother, he’s the one you call, he’s the one you want and even went as far as getting pregnant for me, do you know how bloody humiliating that was?” he grabbed her by her throat as the anger flared in his eyes

“What? You expected me to sit back and do nothing while you went on humiliating me and making a fool out of me because I fell in love with you?” Ethan said into her face as he squeezed tighter and Emily struggled to breathe but she didn’t show it, weakness was the last thing she wanted to show to him.

“Why couldn’t you just love me back? I did everything for you, I was going to give you the world Emily” he said. Emily’s face reddened and she struggled harder to breathe but Ethan let go immediately and she fell to the floor, grabbing her throat and grasping for air.

“You’re insane” she coughed harder “You’re fucking insane Ethan, what else did you do? ”

Ethan stayed quiet but the look on his face said everything that needed to be said and Emily gasped, her hands covering her mouth in shock.

“What did you do Ethan – no Ethan” she said in shock “Did you plan Jackson’s kidnap and also try to kill my baby?” she asked, she felt the tears prick her eyes when the sudden realization dawned on her and she stood to her feet.

“Ethan!!!!” she yelled grabbing him by the chest “You’re a fucking monster!!”

“You led me on, you made me believe you were in love me. Hell, you agreed to get married to me for a second time and the whole time you were pregnant for my brother. How did you expect me to accept that? How did you expect me to accept you were going to be carrying Jackson’s baby. We were supposed to married, pregnant for my child not bloody Jackson. How do you expect to stay quiet after all that”

The tears flowed freely from Emily’s eyes now “Don’t play that game, you know very well why the wedding didn’t happen. You weren’t so innocent in all of this so don’t play that game.”

“I didn’t love her, you were the one I wanted”

“So you tried to kill my baby? Jackson almost died!!”

“And I wish he did, then maybe you’d have loved me, maybe you’d have been properly mine”

“Not with a monster like you”

Ethan’s eyes seemed to darken and he stepped closer to her “Why him Emily? Why him and not me?” he grabbed her waist and pulling her closer to him amidst her restraints but he only held her tighter.

“Let go of me Ethan” she yelled, trying to fight him off but and when she looked at his eyes, it was just anger that reflected in them and her heart dropped in fear.

“Why him Emily? Answer me!”

“Let go of me!” she yelled louder but Ethan was unyielding as he seemed to reach for the hem of her dress to pull it up and Emily froze in fear.

“It could’ve been me Emily” he said again and Emily’s attempt to fight him off seemed futile just until she found a loophole and her foot connected with his groins hard, sending him to the floor as he writhed in pain and Emily stepped away from him, her heart pounding in her chest and her breaths only going heavier. Just as she sprinted to the door, Ethan’s voice stopped her.

“Jackson knew” he said and she stopped, turning back to face him.

“What!” she said even though every bone in her body screamed at her to get out of his house.

“Jackson knew I planned his kidnap and tried to get rid of the baby” he said from the floor and she say the tears cloud his eyes but she wasn’t convinced.

“And you know what Emily, I’m not sorry” he said.

“You’ll be” Emily said finally before she stepped out of the door and just outside she pulled out a recording tape from her chest.

“You’ll be sorry Ethan” she whispered to herself.
