Wayne
__A MONTH LATER__
The cool evening breeze perishes on Emma’s body as she smiles happily. If there was anything she like the best recently, it was being a student once more. She couldn’t imagine if she’d be a student still if not because of Tihana.
Emma had had it in mind to become successful and make Tihana proud, she had as well wanted to teach the kids never to treat someone badly just because they’re not so family. She’s going to keep using herself as an example.
The grudge she hold unto Against her mother was over, she have only tried to make her mother a better version of herself. Emma had been surprised when she discovered that everything about Tihana’s marriage that she thought was real was all fake.
Also hearing about all the challenges and the pains she had been through trying to keep that huge secret made Emma felt bad. Tihana had been through a lot , and she doesn’t deserve to go into another pain.
If anyone deserves happiness more now, it was Tihana. Her life had always been filled with pain, suffering .. just name them. Will that going to end?
Emma was happy to be an aunt, on the other hand. She had wondered if she’ll ever get the chance to carry and pamper the baby as she had planned. Tihana hadn’t for once kept a secret for her, expect the secret of the fake marriage which she totally understand why.
Besides, if she had wanted to tell them about it back then, Emma knew her mother was going to expose it and share it to the world. And , they’ve all treated her so badly that Tihana might have felt they don’t deserve to know what’s going on in her life.
A week ago, Emma had been so happy as she got to hang out with Diana and Blossom. Diana hadn’t said much, but she was fun and trying to light things up .. but she seems to still be keeping her distance. While Blossom, Tihana’s step sister had been the light bringer. She was even he one that suggested the day out.
Blossom was sweet, And Emma had seen herself bonding with her that they now both to get out on their own.
Emma knows it all, she knows about all Blossom had down, but things change.
She knew that she had no right to be mad at Blossom, afterall… She had done much more if not same as her.
Emma settled on a chair and place her feet on the table, massaging her leg slowly.. she had been having a sore feet after a busy day.
Then she remembered, Diana had told her that Aiden needed to girls over at her (Diana’s) apartment for a conversation. It had made her wondered what Aiden will want to talk about with the girls that are just villains some times ago, and he even excluded Tihana and pleaded no one should inform her of the meet up.
But she’s going to find out about what it’s all about only if she went to take the call huh? Emma had made plans to inform Tihana about whatever the conversation is as soon as it’s over.
She wouldn’t want to keep secrets from her.
Even tho Tihana is not her sister, nor a stepsister as she had thought… Tihana had made it clear to her that she’s still her sister, her big sister. And will always be, she’s going to support her and play the sisterly rule in her life forever.
Isn’t she just the cutest?
It’s ironic how you grow up knowing someone is your step sister and then making them feel less of their selves and doing the task that you’re supposed to be doing. Only to wake up one day and realize that everything is almost gone!
She rejected stone now become the chief corner stone and she’s not even related to you! She’s just your the daughter of your father’s first wife.
“Emmanuelle. You’ve been sitting there for quite some minutes. Didn’t you say you’ve somewhere to go with the ‘girls?'”
It was funny how Emma’s mother always address ‘the girls’. While it sounds like she’s making fun of Emma, it was only her .. trying to be specific.
“Yes .. but I’m too tired to go. ” Emma checks the time.
“Oops! I’m five minutes late already. I’ll see you when I get back home ma.”
She rushes out of her apartment after hearing her mother yell ‘I love you’ from behind… Once on the road side, Emma was more than lucky enough when she find a cab.
It was just a twelve minutes drive and Emma knew Diana is going to be mad at her. Diana plays the mother rule whenever they’re together. Emma had seen it as Diana trying to remind her and Blossom that she’s watching them and will protect Tihana from them.
“We thought you wouldn’t show up.” Blossom was the first to speak immediately she walks into Diana’s apartment.
“I totally forgot. Sorry I’m late.” Then she turned to look at Diana who was making her nails.
“Hey Diana..”
But Diana had just looked at her, a little nod and then return to what she’s doing. Blossom chuckles and take Emma’s hand, making her sit next to her.
While they both started having a different conversation, they’d stop when Aiden walks in.
“Was I too late?”
“Very. But I understand. It’s either Tihana holding you back or the baby wouldn’t stop crying.”
Aiden smiles. “You get it really. He’s been crying non stop and thanks to the nannies who have to do the most jobs. Tihana is resting tho. And uhm, I wanted to talk to you guys about her since y’all are related to her one way or the other.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
The conversation between Aiden and the girls had lasted for one hour and twenty three minutes before Aiden stood up to announce his leave.
“Y’all have been amazing… I’ll transfer the money to your account, Wayne gave it to me. Please keep me updated and let it be done within 3 days.”
None of the girls reply but they have this assuring look on their face that made Aiden knew he can trust them. He lowered his head a little before he turns and walk away.
“Should we start already? Tihana needs to sit her butt down, peacefully.” That was Blossom, with a heavily grin on her face.
