Chapter Two

Emily Brown

I cried the entire night, wondering how I could get out of this damn house.

I needed to meet Samuel Green at any cost, but how?

I didn't realize when I finally fell asleep, but when I woke up the next day, my eyes were swollen red from crying last night.

I still hadn't figured out how to go out of the house and started thinking about ways and means.

My mind drowned out of my thoughts when I heard my phone ring. I took it and read the caller ID " Christian "

I was hesitant to answer the call because I new what he was calling me for.

I was very certain he was going to tell me something bad about Samuel Green again.

Christian and Samuel were cousins and Christian was a year older than Samuel. For the past two years that I knew them, they've never been in good terms with each other.

Christian is always trying his possible best to break I am Samuel apart. He keeps saying that Samuel is having an affair with other girls behind my back.

I never took what he said seriously because I knew Samuel was a very good looking guy and most of the girls in Q city throw themselves at him. But he never take a single glance at any of them which I was sure of.

I knew that I was the only girl in Samuel Green's eyes for the past two years.

But Christian will still not agree. I sometimes gets pissed at some words he say about Samuel,but I could not get angry with him for a long time.

Christian was the only best guy friend I had in Q city. I used to have lots of guy friends, but they were all around me because of my body and beauty.

Christian was the only friend who got close to me without any bad intentions. But he would also keep telling me to break up with Samuel which was also impossible.

I stared at my phone for a while and finally decided to answer. I slid my hand across the phone and it was connected. Before I could utter a word, Christian had already said thousand words in just a breath

"Where are you Emily, why didn't you answer my calls yesterday? I wanted to tell something very important. You need to come to the Greens house right now. You've got to see this yourself"

"Is it about Samuel again?" I asked curiously.

"Just come over Emily, please. And don't waste much time" he hanged up right after saying this and this made me a bit worried. What was going on?

I wanted to go to the Greens house myself, but I've been locked up. How do I get there now? After the short call with Christian even made me more eager to get out of this house. But how?

'Nanny' I recited this word in my mind and suddenly got an idea.

Last night after running to my room and locking myself up, I heard nanny calling me several times to come out for dinner and I refused.

She even brought the food to me upstairs, but I refused to open the door and she went back with the food.

Later she came back and stood outside begging me tell her something but I refused again. She said with choked voice and I could feel the trembling in it also " Emily dear, please say something to me. It really hurts me to see you like this. If you need my help in anything, please just tell me. Emily! "

I still chose to remain quiet and after a while, she left. I remember she said she would help me with anything, and it's also possible she can take the keys from my dad easily. Why didn't I think of this earlier?!

I jumped out of the bed with full speed and went straight to the kitchen to meet my nanny.

I went to the kitchen straight away because I knew that's where she's usually at. And thankfully she was there. She was preparing breakfast for the family.

I stood behind her for a while pondering on how to approach her after how I behaved towards her last night.

But to my surprise, she had already noticed my presence and said without turning to look at me "Are you better now Emily, or do you need anything?"

Why would nanny talk to me without turning to look at me? Was she angry with me because of what I did last night?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but go down on my knees and start apologising to her " Am so sorry nanny, I was just too hurt and anxious last night, I didn't mean to hurt you ok"

"What are you talking about Emily, I know what you are going through, why would I be angry at you in this situation you are facing now?"

She moved up to me and helped me to get up. She then cupped my cheeks and said " tell me Emily dear, do you need anything? "

Yes! I really need something! But will she help me. She loved me though, but she couldn't dare try to go against my dad. So what?! I should still tell her what I want, maybe she can really help me.

I lowered my eyes a little and said with a sad and low voice "nanny, I want to go out of the house. I want to go and meet Samuel"

I said sincerely and waited for her reply eagerly. Nanny knew about Samuel. She was very much aware of Samuel and I dating, but I never mentioned anything to my parents.

It wasn't my fault anyway, they just didn't have time for me at all. My nanny looked at me and said while smiling at me

"I know Emily dear, I knew you would surely want to go and meet Samuel first, that's why I came to you last night but you refused to open the door for me."

What the fuck! How could I be this stupid and unthoughtful? Nanny wanted to help me go out last night but I refused to let her in my room.

'Can you still help me nanny?' I thought in my mind, but looked like nanny could read through my mind and said

"Don't worry Emily, I can still help you go out to meet the love of your life one last time. Just come with me"

She dragged me out of the kitchen and took me to the back of the house. She showed me a tiny door which was rarely visible to be seen and asked me to go out through that door.

I never knew that such a place ever existed in this house, but how did nanny know? I couldn't help myself so I went ahead and asked " nanny, how did you know about this door "

"That doesn't matter right now Emily, just go quickly and come back as early as possible. I don't want your father to get mad at me ok"

"Sure nanny, thank you." I whispered quickly and went out through that tiny door.

I was so relieved and took a taxi from the road side and headed straight to the Greens mansion.

When I got there, I didn't even wait for the security man to give me permission before going in. Everyone in this mansion knew me and knew that I was Samuel's girlfriend.

When I got into the living room, Christian was already sitting in the sofa waiting for me. He moved up to me the moment he saw me and said without waiting for even a second " Emily, thank God you are finally here, go upstairs to Samuel's room and see for yourself what he's doing "

"Why, what is he doing"

"You always don't believe me when I say Samuel is cheating on you right? Go in there right now and see for yourself" he said gesturing to me to go upstairs to Samuel's room.

My heart started beating faster, and my stomach was aching badly because of what Christian just said right now.

Was Samuel really cheating on me.

Is he really in his bedroom with another woman right now?!

No! That can't be possible. But why has my feet become so heavy like this? Why have I started thinking that whatever Christian just said to me right now might be true.

No it can't, and I need to see it myself if it is!
