Chapter Hundred and three

For the first time in weeks I prepared a good breakfast not the usually good meal I would prefer to lazily eat, I toast some bread, then made a hot coffee with eggs this would do now. Maybe having something in mind would give me a reason to live more, I have decided to take my revenge on Sam but today I was taking a step forward on that. I hum music all through, I was going to do this, I was going to get big and make him realize that he wouldn't just hurt me like that and be free. 

I took time to prepare and dress which I have never done for the month, it hurts to see the quiet house while I go about for morning chores nobody to tease or to with but I was going to do something meaningful with my life, I wasn't going to live my old life again and again as a weak mother but a mother who knows who she is and won't accept other intolerable behavior towards her.

I made my way into the restaurant I was sent to come to, it was one of the beautiful places in the city. Well...let's get to business, I walked ahead to where he was sitting "Glad to see you all clean and refresh". I Ignore him and grab a seat. " What would you like to take?  "Mrs. I'm not here for the food". " But I'll like us to eat, It's not a big deal". I stared at him and the waiter that have come over to collect our orders "I don't have much time like this". " Of course, we do, theirs a lot of time left and eating would not take it away" he looked at me for approval "Bills on me," he said before turning to the waiter and made his order, I did the same ordering crabs and one of their best food.

I ate without minding he was there, it has been a long since I ate good food, I had denied myself a lot of things because doing anything hurts then. "You see, I was right about eating first" I shot him a gaze before turning away and continuing with my food, he order a bottle of wine later. "Drinking and playing with his meal " You don't have to order if you not hungry" he shrugged and continued sipping his drink 

I pushed the food away from me when I had my fill before looking up at him. "What's your name?  "I can't tell you yet if you're not interested in working with us". " I would have walked straight out of here if I had heard "Work for us". " Then I'm happy I didn't make that mistake" he replied. "So you're legit?  "Of course, but Sam is our rival, even when he was still back home". " So you guys are enemies from the start?  

"You can see in the way you wants to, we started in good terms not as enemy though but as competitor till he paid a certain company to throw us back down, where he thinks we belong, our company loses a lot of money trying to recover what we have lost after the incident". "So you moved to this city and now he's back". "Yeah, and he thought we could do nothing after the years of pain and hardship he had made this company gone through". "So you'll like to get back to him for what he did to you". " Not me actually, the company". "Are you telling me us not personal and it's only for the company". He leaned back and smiled widely. " That's why you"ll be good for this, you're very smart"

I sip my drink and looked away from his direction. "You can do this all by yourself without needing my help". " I want it to be you, I want you to take him down, let's say work with us permanently, you can get and live the life you want but would help us" I nodded and gulp down my drink. "Are you asking for anything else? " Unless you want to marry my boss". I smiled and leaned back on my seat with a glass of wine in my hand.

"Emily, I smiled as I saw her sitting on my porch. For a very long time, I was very a little happy and satisfied. She looked up but her face was teary. " Are you okay? I asked walking over to her, she rushed up and huge tightly "I missed you, I missed you so much". I smiled and withdrew away from her. " Come, I'll make you something to eat" I took to get by the hand like I have come a year's back, I sigh remembering anything from the past years hurt because I know that it was never going to be that way again, I couldn't bring myself to feel that way again. I just wanted to move away from everything, maybe it would stop hurting just then what I wanted to be played in my mind.

I have to leave, maybe far away from here but I couldn't leave Sunny behind, It would hurt knowing that I won't visit or see her smile. I shrugged that away and reminded myself that I only need to pay Sam back in a very big way "I'll make you whatever you choose to". "I only want to spend time with you, even if you distance yourself from everyone I wouldn't allow you to do that to me, I will continue pestering you all the days of your life" I smiled at her and looked down at her stomach. "When is it due? She smiled and rubbed her stomach " next week" I nodded and moved to the kitchen and made her sit on the stool while I prepare something for her.

"Becca, " Hmm" I looked up at her worried face. "I... Want you to come with me to the hospital, your mum wanted to stay till I have the baby". "But I thought she said she would be leaving. " Yeah, until she got the news" I nodded "But your fa... I shot her a gaze. " Sorry I mean your mum's husband would be leaving, so can you please be there". "Emily, a lot of people would be there to help you". " But none of them is you, I want you there, I want you by my side please...don't say no...please"  I sigh, I couldn't refuse her because she was also there when I needed her "Sure, I'll be there" she stood up to wrap her arms around me. "I love you" but this time, I didn't say it back which was unlike me, I didn't want to feel like the usual Becca, I just want to detach myself from the past but Emily was different I couldn't leave her too. I wrap my arms around her too and kiss her on the hair.
