EMILY'S POV
It was exactly two weeks since Jack and I got married. Everything was going well. We were both happy about it. I felt fulfilled and relieved because my prayer was never to let my son grow up without a father.
I was still thinking while making lunch in the kitchen when the doorbell rang. "I will get it." I said to Jack and Max who were playing in the living room. I opened it, seeing a man in his forties. He looked very mean and strange. "Can I help you?" I asked him.
"I'm looking for Jack." He said in his deep voice. I turned to look at Jack who was already standing at my back. He looked frightened.
"What are you doing here Victor?" Jack asked the man. I then knew they knew each other but not in a good way.
"Why don't you welcome me well Jack or are you scared?" The man asked giving a fake smile. Jack stood in my front in a protective way.
"I think you should leave now Victor." Jack asked him kindly.
"You're not getting away with my money cause I'm going to get it no matter what." He said laughing hysterically before leaving.
Jack slammed the door hard and breathed heavily. "Who is he?" I asked him.
"He's the one who tried to kill me that night." Jack revealed and my eyes opened widely in surprise.
"Why did you let him go? We can call the police now to arrest him." I sad ignorantly.
"It's not like that Emily dear. There must be a solid evidence to prove that he tried taking my life. Besides, he's a renowned criminal who even tramples on the police. He runs half of the system in the police. That's why it's not easy." Jack said looking exhausted already.
"Sorry dear. We really need to find and evidence proving that he tried killing you." I said as we both sat on the couch.
"My men are on it. Once they find anything, they will tell me." Jack said. "Look dear." He turned to me and cupped my cheeks in his palm. "Don't worry about this again. I'm taking care of it. Don't let it trouble you." Jack said with concern.
I nodded without know what to say, but something still felt odd. Victor looked like a dangerous man and from the looks on his face, he won't stop until he gets what he wants.
My mood was off for the rest of the day. Jack noticed it and kept on assuring me that everything was fine and his men were taking care of it but my mind wasn't still at rest. At some point I decided to believe him and let go of it.

"We are on our way mom." Jack said while speaking to his mom on the phone. They invited us over for dinner.
Within some few minutes, we were at their mansion. The security guards escorted us in till we got to the large dining. Jack's parents were already seated waiting for us. "Oh my darling." She said smiling as Max ran to hug her.
"Grandma!!!!" Max yelled giggling. He was always excited to visit them.
"How are you two doing?" She asked us both after welcoming us with warm embraces.
"We are fine mom." Jack responded.
We greeted Jack's dad who smiled at us too. Soon after, the servants started serving us dinner. The long table was filled with diverse kinds of foods. Maybe it was a rich people habit. "So Emily, how is everything?" Jack's dad suddenly asked me.
"Everything is fine dad." I said with a smile. Just then, a guy walked downstairs. He looked very much like Jack but younger.
"Hey senior bro." He said referring to Jack.
"Brian?" Jack said as they both embraced each other. "How are you doing?" Jack asked him with excitement.
"I'm good bro. I'm so sorry that I couldn't make it to your wedding." He apologized immediately.
"It's fine." Jack replied as he returned to his food. "This is Emily my wife and Emily, this is Brian, my younger brother." Jack introduced.
"Hi Brian." I said smiling. He looked at me and I saw that familiar smile that Jack had too.
"Wow. She's beautiful man." He said as he came to where I was seated and pecked my hand. "You are really a goddess." He said looking into my eyes. I giggled loudly.
"Hey, leave her alone. She's a mother." Jack's dad said cheering everyone up in the room. In no time, he was already getting along with Max. I was happy that we weren't alone especially this time Max was still growing.
After dinner, we bid them goodbye and went home. Max was already asleep by the time we got home. "I will drop him in his room." Jack offered as he carried Max to his room.
In a short while, he came back to meet me in our room. I was removing my dress about to change into my night dress when I felt his hot breath against my back. He poured my hair to one side of my face and started kissing my neck.
I turned around in hunger for more and connected our lips together with our hands interlocked. We moved in that position to the bed and I started undressing him, then he stopped. "Mmmmm seems like someone wants to get wild." He jokingly said.
"Shut up!" I said giggling before reconnecting our lips together. After undressing him stark naked, I started rubbing his manhood which his precum was already out. He moaned softly in his deep husky voice.
Then he started rubbing my breasts as he took control over me. He rolled on top of me and in no time, he pushed his shaft inside me and started thrusting. I felt really good at that moment. It lasted for about 30 minutes before he came and we rested for the night.

I suddenly saw a figure in an old building. He started approaching me with a pistol in his hand. When he came into the light, 'victor!" I said as I saw that familiar face. I started running away from him as he started pursuing me. Then I fell to the ground and he got to me. He pointed the gun at me. 'please please!!!" I pleaded with him almost in tears then the bullet blew off........
I screamed as I woke up from that nightmare. I held my chest breathing heavily as hot sweat poured down from my body. Jack quickly ran to me looking worried. "What is it darling?" He asked me.
"I had a bad nightmare." I said still in shock. I explained the dream to him.
"It's only a nightmare dear. Don't worry yourself." He said.
"But it could happen. There's nothing Victor won't do to get back at you." I told him as I got irritated with his assurance.
As he was about to say something else, we heard Max scream loudly. "Max!!!!" I yelled as I started running to his room but he wasn't there. His sheets were on the floor. Jack and I ran downstairs in search of him but we didn't find him.
"Mummy!!!!" I suddenly heard his voice again, but this time, it was from a height. I looked up at the terrace and saw Victor holding Max by the neck. I covered my mouth in shock.
"Look Victor, let go of him. He doesn't have anything to do with this." Jack told him.
"Oh shut up Jack. I promised you that you were going to pay for this and I was serious about it." He said.
"Please please please!!!!! Let him go." I pleaded.
"Ok sure." Victor said as he dropped Max and in the spur of that moment I saw my life flash before my eyes. The screams and echoes filled my eardrums and that was it...............
