If Only She Knew - Season 1 - Episode 21

“We going to the graveyard?” asked Emily, as she took a turn to West Park cemetery.

“Just drive. Park the car under that tree,” she ordered.

Emily did as per told. She parked the car under the tree. They stepped out of the vehicle. The
woman was still wearing her black dress and a black veil covering her hair.

“Follow me,” she instructed.
Emily trailled behind. She broke into a sweat and her pulse raced. She was shaking like a leaf, her
stomach churning. She stopped and placed the flowers on a tombstone.

“Here, lay my older brother, Craig. It was just the two of us. Our parents died in a car accident,”
she went on. “I was very rich when I married Max. I put everything that my parents left for me in his name, including the company and the mansion. I trusted him with my life and everything I had,”
she wiped the tears.

“I thought you were dead and you cheated on him with his best friend,” said Emily.
“What?! Is that what he told you? He tried to kill me, Yes. But I managed to dodge the bullet. I
didn’t cheat on him. He used to abuse me. When my brother found out he killed his parents. He wanted me to leave Max but I ignored him,” she paused. “I was blinded by love and for once I thought my brother hated Max but No. He was trying to protect me from him. I didn’t believe it that Max killed his parents. When I confronted him together with my brother. He confessed on killing his parents and burning them inside the house.

After telling the truth he shot Craig. His cousin
brother, Billy arrived later. When he walked inside the house my brother was already dead. Max lied to him and said I was cheating with my brother, since Billy didn’t know Craig. I was shocked and at the same time confused. I managed to escape and I went to Canada.”

“No no Max is not a killer.”
“I used to say that Emily. I saw his true colours when he killed my brother right in front of me. But
before that like I said it before. He used to beat me up every night and locking me in the garage.
When he found out that I was pregnant. He made sure I had a miscarriage. He put poison in my
food. I was admitted for a month. He paid the doctor to fake the results of my miscarriage,” she got close to her and held her hand. “Listen to me very carefully. Leave that man. He is a psychopath, a maniac, he is mad and crazy. He is a serial killer.

He is handsome on the outside but inside he is
the devil’s twin.”
It was hard for Emily to believe what the woman had said to her.

“What is your name? How did you find me? How did you know I was the woman Max was going to
marry?” asked Emily with a hint of confusion in her voice.

“I am still talking to Billy’s wife. My name is Selena. Helena, Billy’s wife is the one who told me about you.

She got your phone number from her husband’s phone.”

Emily almost collapsed when Selena held her hand.

“Are you okay? Wait! You are pregnant?”
Emily didn’t answer the question. She needed space. Time to think, she wanted to be alone. It was too much for her. Max had never la!d his hands on her. Was this woman, standing beside her lying? Did she love Max? Was she jealous of Emily? The thoughts raced into her head. She
dragged in a deep breath and looked at her. Her heart beat was rising. She looked directly into her
eyes. The dark depths of her eyes seeming to search hers as if looking into her soul. She needed to go home and think. Once she was away from her she could think of other options, but she couldnt do any of that. She didn’t believe all that Selena had told her.

“I have to go home,” she finally spoke.

“Okay, but please don’t tell him that we met. Whatever I told you keep it to yourself,” said Selena.

Emily started heading towards the car.

“Emily!” called out Selena. “Be care f…,” she stopped at midsentence and fell down on the ground.

Emily looked around and saw a black car driving off. When you nervous your body is on high alert.
Your heart beats faster, your blood pressure rises. Selena was still quivering when Emily got close to her.

“Selena! Don’t leave me please,” said Emily in between sobs holding Selena’s hand.
“Yo you sh……,” she looked at Emily and smiled.

Emily saw the light go out of her eyes. The level of horror at the situation seemed to directly
increase her ability to act outside of her feelings.
“I am sorry, Selena,” she said and called the cops using a private number.

She got into the car and drove off at home. Tears streaming down on her face. She parked the car
and went straight to bed. Late that night Max sent a message saying, he wasn’t coming back
home. That night a blacklog of deferred emotion fell on Emily. She went to bed shivering, crying
and fearing for her life. Selena had died and what if Max was behind the hit. She tried sleeping but
could not. She wanted to run away from Max. She immediately got up from the bed and started
packing her clothes. Suddenly someone opened the door.

“Where are you going sweetheart? Are you running away from me?” he asked.
