If Only She Knew - Season 1 - Episode 24

☆☆☆

Months had passed.

Deep down inside, she regretted leaving her husband. Alone in her head, she felt so low. Her eyes
are so tired, she can’t sleep at night. His face haunts her dream when she turn out the lights. She
felt ashamed getting up from his bed. She held her head high, as she walked by his side. Tears
welling up, she was dying inside.

Bound against a swirling, aching black mass, starving for the light of redemption, begging for a
drop of grace. When will she ever be free from the guilt. It reaches into her soul, covering what
was once bautiful and bright with shame and regret. It covered her eyes and hid her from the light.
She cried,

“Oh, dear God, when will I ever be rid of this guilt?!”

It snarl and clings to her. Her personal hell raging inside her body, unseen and unheard by others.

But all she can see and hear. She will never be able to be rid of the guilt of leaving her husband.

“Is my breakfast ready?” he asked fixing his tie.

She quickly wiped the tears before facing him.

“Yes!”
“Good. I need it now,” he sat on the chair in the kitchen.

After they had their private wedding, Max soon banned Emily from going to work. He used to lock
her inside the house every time he left for work. He didn’t want her to go outside now that they
were married. He was obsessed with her and jealous.

“I told you I don’t eat fried eggs Emily. How many times must I tell you?”
“I am sorry I forgot,” she apologised.

He glared at her and didn’t say a word.

“We going out today. One of the richest man in the Country that I know. His daughter got
engaged. They are throwing a party at his house. He is also a shareholder at my company,” he
spoke putting on his jacket. “I will come and pick you up around 7pm. I will send the hairstyle,
make up artist and the dressmaker over here. Are we together?”
She nodded.

“Yes!”
“Good. I am going now. Bye,” he kissed her on the cheek. “Remember I installed cameras in this
house. Don’t even try to run away. You know I always find you,” he walked out of the house and
closed the door.

Emily sat on the sofa. In the house of misery, all doors are locked. Trapped inside her memories,
her bliss burns, her lungs embrace the smoke from the flames, she chokes. She fell into the hands
of a monster, imprisoned her in his residence. She needs to find a lead, but her pain is the only
evidence. She can feel it lurking in the dark, a pure soul out of luck waiting to be victimised. She
ran from it’s shadow for too long, her only escape is running towards the shadow and being
strong. Today, the end is where she will start. To escape this house, she needed to pierce a blade
through this monster’s heart. Lost in the confusion of her mind. Looking for a way out help by own
fears. Caught up in her emotions of love and pain.

She got up and started cleaning the house.
At around 6pm she headed to the bathroom after the hair dresser fixed her hair. She sat on the
bed in her long sleevless dress waiting for Max. He opened the door.

“I see you were waiting for me. You looking gorgeous my wife. Can you stand up? I need to see
those curves,” he smiled, a smile that pissed her off.

She stood up and walked to him. She faked a smile when he kissed her on the cheek. They later
left the house. Parked their car at the mansion. They were many cars parked and people who
attended the party. As they got inside the house. Max greeted some of the people. They all paid
attention to him as he walked inside the room. A rich man who had everything, cars and houses.

He took the microphone and began.
“I am so nervous right now. I don’t even know what to say but here I am saying something,” he
paused and let the laughter settle a little. “Today, I am very happy. I had sleepless night for few
years, wondering what kind of a man is going to marry my one and only daughter,” he went on. “I
have never met a man who is so humble, kind and honest. Honestly speaking I am a very lucky
man. I can go on and on talking how lucky I am to have to meet the man that is my son-in law
today. He is not just my son-in law but a son I never had.”

He kept quiet for a while and sipped his wine. He cleared his throat and continued.
“It’s such a pity that my wife and my two grandchildren are not here to join us. They went on a trip
to Dubai. Talking about my grandchildren. I wish my grand daughter was here. Anyway I will be
stepping down as the President at my Company. My son-in law will be taking over. Without
wasting much time. I present to you my son-in law and my only daughter. Couple of the moment.

They got engaged recently.”
They walked into the crowd hand in hand. Applause erupted around them. Emily looked at him
and dropped the water glass she was holding on the floor, breaking into pieces. She needed to make sure it wasn’t a dream. She closed her eyes and opened them again. He was immaculately
dressed in a dark suit and tie.

Somewhere deep inside her something stirred, an emotion long
since locked away.
