I Swear, Let Me Love You Again

3RD POV: Oh, Emma knew who you were especially because she loved the book Clapback so much. In fact she disliked Mrs King so much because Emma could relate to being mistreated by her in-laws. But after her meeting with Lydia yesterday, she felt different emotions throughout the rest of her day and she had come to the decision that she was wrong. She wanted to apologize to her favorite author, Lydia, as she never planned to disrespect or even act a villain. She was a peaceful woman who was hopelessly in love with her cheating husband. “Good afternoon.” She looked uncertain as she took a seat on Mrs King’s left hand side. “You must be wondering why you’re here. And I am the type to get straight into it. We both have a common enemy which is Lydia Miller. I plan to publish that she’s cheating with your husband.” Mrs Belligram scrunched up her face and jerked her head forward. “Excuse me?” She assumed she hadn’t heard clearly. Why would she think I would agree with this? What is she even thinking? “Enjoy yourself as I have requested a full body massage for you. Plus I will help with all your debts when you agree to this. I know it’s not an easy decision. But this will finally free you from your cheating husband and destroy his mistress.” Mrs Belligram laughed hysterically, making Mrs King frown her face. “You have gotten it wrong, Mrs King. Publishing this will be so scandalous, The Millers will sue you and I won’t be involved. Plus my husband and I will sue you as well because where would you get this from? Where’s your proof? Who’s your witness? I am a big fan of Lydia Miller as I am familiar with the case of an in-law…what’s the word…terrorizing their daughter-in-law. If you want to bribe us thinking we don’t have money, you must not know who I am, if you think I don’t have my own separate money. My husband and I are fine and I think it’s pretty humiliating that you would think of this to Lydia. Like don’t you have a life?” Mrs Belligram scoffed looking at Mrs King, who was taken aback by Emma’s reaction, with disgust. She rose up from the seat and hissed and before she shut the door, she muttered, “Bitter hag.” Mrs King, the lady painting her toes, her assistant, the manager of the hostel were in utter shock at Mrs Belligram’s words. Mrs King went from shock to embarrassment. “Leave…Leave!” She snapped at everyone in the room who instantly stood up and hurried out of the room. Mrs King fumed, carrying her assistant’s laptop and re-reading the information they were about to send to the media House. She played with the pearls on her neck thinking of a way to get back at Mrs Belligram for talking to her in that manner. “Though I had not thought of the repercussions…. who gave her the audacity to talk to me in that manner?” Mrs King spoke to herself then dialed Nathaniel’s number. She was surprised when he answered, “Hello? Son?” “I already found out your plans and for the last time … . I’M WARNING YOU, if you still consider me your son and want us to have any form of relationship, LEAVE LYDIA ALONE.” He spoke sternly and did not wait for her to speak in response before hanging up on her. The level of embarrassment, humiliation and hurt Mrs King felt in the moment made her close her eyes and battle with the tears threatening to fall. All she wanted to do now was to go home and mourn Jenny and her self respect. But that did not mean she wouldn’t get back at Mrs Belligram.

********** MEANWHILE…. Rachel was at Jason’s penthouse sitting on the couch waiting patiently for Jason who was upstairs chasing out the woman he had brought from the club last night. Unbeknownst to Jason, the woman was sent by Kelvin who was helping Rachel get out of this toxic relationship. The woman had simply seduced Jason who was very much welcoming and he took her home with him meanwhile Kelvin had taken a dozen of pictures of the two for blackmail then forwarded to both Rachel and Jason. Jason had just seen it as soon as he woke up so he was upstairs literally dragging the woman out. “I’m coming…relax.” She whined coming out of the room in a short revealing fishnet gown. As she strolled down the stairs, she winked at Rachel who smiled commending her on her work. “My fiancée will be here in a minute so hurry.” He was dragging up his jeans and heading down the stairs when he made eye contact with Rachel and his face fell, he was thinking of his next words in order to manipulate her. “Well…bye. Your man is great in bed but we both know that already.” The woman spoke before shutting the door. “Why are you here so early?” Rachel scoffed at his question rising to her feet and he walked closer to her with his chest bare. “No reason, I just came to talk to you so please keep a distance.” She spoke calmly and he knitted his eyebrow while walking towards her. Fear held her but she still remained in the same position. “Please Jason just stand there and listen.” He stopped and looked at her with confusion. “Okay, I’m listening.” He ushered her to speak though his mind was racing. He hated how composure she was, she looked so pretty to him that he wanted to hug her. But he knew she wouldn’t let him, especially after seeing the other woman. “Jason, let me go. Let me be free whether you kill me or just end this relationship, but please free me. I’m so sick and tired of living this way, I’m not happy, I’m tired of your abuses and I hate feeling this way. This emptiness and sadness. I hate it…if you have any sort of affection you swear you do towards me then let me be free.” She pleaded with tears dripping from her eye and Jason’s face was blank and her demeanor fell. He just kept his gaze on her, staring at her from head to toe. His mind was blank but he knew he didn’t want to see any man. “You have someone who you’re seeing?” Jason questioned walking towards her with a hurt expression and Rachel was scared, walked backwards and fell on the long white couch in the sitting room. “There’s no one. I just don’t want this maltreatment from anyone. For goodness sake, can’t you see how scared I am.” She pointed out and he kept quiet standing right in between her legs, placing his hands on her thigh and looked her in the eyes. “I’m never letting you go.” His eyes looked crazy and Rachel who was trembling brought out a gun and her phone from her purse making him step back. “It’s either you die or I die today. Because I’m so done with you. If I die, the whole world will find out about everything, your abusive ways, sleeping with a stripper and all your shenanigans but if you die, I will be free. So it’s a win-win situation for me, so pick your side.” She spoke slowly and Jason clenched and unclenched his jaw before bursting out laughing boisterously. “You’re crazy but smart…I have always liked you.. I mean loved you. So you know what? I’m going to let you go but I know you will be back when you realize no one will ever love like I do. I mean no one will ever even love you after I reveal every single thing about you. So rest from my love for today and I can place a bet on 1 million you will be back before the week runs out.” He dragged her closer to him, kissed her nastily and pulled away. Rachel was so disgusted, she cringed and used the back of her hand to clean her lips and watched him walk back upstairs. Was it truly over? What was he going to reveal? She couldn’t help but wonder.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
