Chapter 13

Bianca's eyes popped open at Emily's statement, she stared at her husband through the side of her eyes. There was always something dark about him and her son Leonard but this young lady seemed not bothered by his presence.

Over the years she had watched Bella's friend run out of the mansion and never come back in but this young lady was looking at her husband directly without stuttering.

Was this lady really Bella's friend?

"I will leave tomorrow if that's okay by you Mr. Klar," Emily continued staring directly at the man, eyeball to eyeball.

Alexandra stared at her for some while and walked out of the house without saying a word, he was outraged by Emily's gaze that he forgot to kiss his wife goodbye, not that it was a usual routine but he had it in mind earlier to do it.

"It's alright ladies," Bianca smiled at them not trying to make the situation more awkward as they both turned watching Alex walk out of the house. "You can sleep over Emily, Emily right?"

"Yes ma'am," Emily turned around and smiled as Bianca took her hand in one and Bella in the other.

"You both must be so tired, so go inside and get some rest. I will ask the maid to reheat the food for dinner." Bianca said letting go of their hand, she hugged Bella again, she had a lot to discuss with her daughter but there was enough time for that. She walked towards the kitchen leaving the two ladies alone.

"First of all did you just like talk to my dad that way?" Bella bursted out with a confused look after her mother was out of sight.

"Am sorry, was I rude?" Emily had only wanted to let them know that she would be sleeping over, she noticed Bella had the same feeling for her father just as she did for Leonard.

Poor girl!

Emily couldn't blame her, it seemed the men in this family all had a thing with a dark aura lingering around them. Emily had seen worst than it, it scared her but not enough for her to lose her wit.

"No, I mean..." Bella didn't know how to explain it she even saw the shocked expression on her mother's face. She had kept quiet because she didn't want the wrath of her father but Emily had stood her ground and even looked at her father in the eyes. How come she hadn't met Emily a long time ago?

"Nevermind, let me show you my room," Bella smiled, she had never been excited to show someone her room. She pulled Emily by the wrist and turned in front of a door by the left side of the main door. Bella pressed a button by the side as the door opened revealing an elevator.

What?

Emily couldn't believe it, there was an elevator inside their house. She stared at Bella who was smiling at her as they stepped into the elevator. Bella pressed the second floor as the elevator closed slowly.

"This one leads directly to my room, I am the only one that can access it. My parents also have theirs by the right side of the door and Leo... And I mean the guest." Bella explained.

The elevator finally stopped as the door opened revealing Bella's room, Bella and Emily stepped in as Emily stared around. The room was pink-themed, it had a really big television opposite the bed that was big enough to take five people. Was this Bella's room or the master bedroom?

The door opened as the driver entered with their luggage, Bella motion him to where to put them as Emily noticed the little balcony in the room.

She walked up to the balcony while Bella busied herself with telling the driver to get the maid to come and arrange the clothes into the appropriate places.

Emily walked towards the balcony and opened the glass door. She walked to the balcony railings and leaned on it with both hands staring around, she could see the swimming pool section from here up close and they seemed to be someone swimming in the pool.

A man.

She watched him dive into the water and swim to the end swiftly and then back as he stepped out slowly.

The maid close by rushed to him and handed his towel to him, as he wiped his face. When he places the towel on his body, he looked up and caught Emily's eye.

"That's my cousin, Cam," Bella said stepping into the balcony as the driver leaves to tell the maid to come and arrange the clothes in place.

Bella waved at him as he nods his head in response to her but his eyes do not leave Emily, he cleans off his body still staring at her then walks out of the swimming section as the maid follows behind him.

"Does he stay here?" Emily asked staring in the direction he had just gone through.

"Sometimes," Bella replied. Emily walked back inside the room, she laid on the bed as her phone vibrated in her pocket.

It was her sister.

She sat up and picked the call, it was unusual for her sister to call her they mostly chat.

"Where the hell are you? Mum just called me that Dad is in the hospital."

"What?"
