Well reality proved to be another matter altogether. Emma opened the document, and she could not help her eyelids twitch. With a long sigh she turned to face the man, the expression on her face clearly showing how unwilling she was to follow on whatever was written on the document. Her fists were clenched, and she looked so unwilling, her face was all scrunched up like she would rather die than abide by what was written.
Robert looked up from his documents, his face expressionless as always. Finally getting her voice back Emma looked right into his eyes, "Do you really have to do this, we do not love each other why force yourself in a loveless marriage?"
"Make sure she signs the documents and bring them along with her to the office, you will take care of her discharge procedures." With those few words left behind for his assistant Robert made his way outside the ward with not much as a glance at Emma, like he had not even heard her speak.
The assistant left behind could only stand at the side waiting for Emma to sign the document and hand it over to him. Thomas was also flabbergasted that his boss just made his way here without even stopping to go to the office the workaholic boss!! in his heart he knew that the boss went to the hospital to fetch Mrs. Emma and take care of the discharge procedures himself.
What he failed to understand was why the boss did not go ahead with it as planned and instead left it to him. Was it that his boss did not know that it would bring him a negative impact with his wife and if his wife misunderstood then his journey to getting a wife would be a very very far away dream.
Poor single him he thought that maybe cherry blossoms would bloom very soon in his boss's relationship so that he would get a chance to go and explore and also find himself a girlfriend. He was 27 years old and still single his mother kept urging him to find a woman or even a man that's how much she'd given up on him finding anyone to love or marry but how was she to understand that he had a huge responsibility on his shoulders and for him to be able to get the time and find a woman to marry then his boss relationship had to take sail fast before his followed.
Emma signed the document with gritted teeth. She did not believe that the man had just left like that without any explanation or an answer at least, her life was going to fully belong to him anyway he could at least explain or give her an explanation as to why he would do what he had done when they clearly had no feelings for each other what kind of marriage was it going to be built only on mutual satisfaction or agreement this was more like a political marriage and that was not what she was going to settle for. She had always wanted a marriage that was built on love, trust and foundation, not a marriage that was just built on a contract or mutual benefit but a really good way to play with her it was.
She was not going to give up, yet she will find ways to run away from the man even if they failed at least, she would have tried rather than sitting and waiting for him to plan out her fate. Emma handed the documents to the 'robot' assistant after signing it, then she stood up and walked to the window.
Looking over from her room she could see the whole compound of the hospital. She was really in a very good private hospital; through the window she could see the lush green trees and a small place more like a small park where the patients could go and sit and sunbathe. It was surreal, it was nothing like her past life where she had to squeeze through public hospitals whenever she was sick and she'd come out sicker of course but now she was someone else, she had the opportunity to make life better for herself.
well, if it would never work out if she'll would never be able to run from the man's clutches then she would just enjoy the life of a rich housewife and plunder all his money ha! ha! ha! ha! That was what she was going to do exactly if all hell broke loose, and her plans failed to go through.
She caressed her tummy and looked over the window waiting for the assistant to be done with the discharge procedure so they could go. She had already been sick of the hospital and Roberts's warning made it even the more likely that she would hate the hospital. He had warned her that if she would still entertain thoughts of a divorce then he would tell her little secret and let her body be used as a test subject for experiments.
The very thought gave her goosebumps, and she knew she would be having nightmares. She felt so much hate for the man. Promising to tell on her or take care of her and giving her ultimatums to choose from, who threatens someone only to then use the soft methos into making them give in without a way out. Only Robert would think of something as despicable as genius as that no wonder his business was so successful, he could be a nightmare or an angel depending on whether you agree to work by his rules or yours. Anyone smart enough would know what to choose he was indeed a devil and unfortunately, she was carrying a mini devil in her.
Ptui!ptui! What are you thinking Emma, she inwardly cursed and warded the evil thoughts she had, that was her child her flesh and she was going to make sure he or she was brought up well and protected far away from how Robert turned out.
