REVENGE GONE WRONG
EPISODE FIVE
ADAM’S POV
I’m now at the hospital siting at the waiting
room, my tie is loose, and my hair a mess, I
look down while both my hands hvg my head
form the back. I can’t believe what just
happened, I wanted to hurt her but not like this,
I’ll never forgive myself if something bad
happens to Emma.
Is been two hours since they rushed her inside
and every minute gets me more desperate than
the other. Finally the door opens and the
doctor comes out, I get up form the
uncomfortable chair and run towards him.
“How is she? plea-se tell me everything is fine.”
“Well, I’m not going to lie to you Mr
McRoberts, your wife condition is critical, she
could’ve died.”
“What?!! I don’t un-derstand, what happened to
her? She was perfect minutes before pas-sing
out.”
“Mmm…. I think we should go in my office.
This is not the right place to address this
matter.”
“You’re scaring me now doctor, what’s going
on?”
“plea-se follow me, will talk in my office.”
Without further words I followed the doctor.
God plea-se let Emma, my Emma be fine, she
has to recover from whatever this is. We walk
into the small office, the doctor takes his seat
at his desk and points to the chair in front for
me to sit and I follow.
“Well first of all, you should know that you
have a very strong wife, I’m surprised she
survived. ”
“That’s a relief but at the same time worries
me, how can someone be perfectly fine and
two minutes later she’s about to die.”
“You really don’t know what happened to her?”
“What?”
“Mr McRoberts your wife was physically
abused, someone as-saulted her causing an
internal hemorrhage, thankfully you brou-ght her
to the hospital on time and we where able to
save her life, five more minutes and-” I
interrupted.
“What do you mean by as-saulted?” My blood
stated to boil, who did this to Emma, how was
I so stupid to not notice.
“Yes, her stomach is full of bruises
unfortunately the injury was also internal, like I
said her life was in real danger.”
“But, who did this to her?”
“I don’t know, that was actually my question to
you.” His gaze turned accusatory.
“I’m as clueless as you are, I’ll never put a
hand on my wife, if that’s what you are trying
to say, who do you think I am?”
“I’m sorry, Sir. plea-se un-derstand that in cases
like this is very common to see husbands
abuse their wives, I think the best we can do
now is wait until she wakes up and ask her
who did this and why.”
“Yes, I’m not letting this go unnoticed, whoever
did this is going to pay for it.”
“Mr. McRoberts I should ask you to plea-se
don’t pressure your wife once she wakes up, I
un-derstand you nee-d answers but right now the
priority is her full and satisfactory recovery.”
“I un-derstand, is just that I feel like I failed to
protect her. ”
“I totally un-derstand Sir.”
“When will she wake up?”
“I don’t have that answer, I will all depend on
her, we had to put two units of blood since
she lost so much, right now her b©dy is tired
and re-adjusting, she’ll open her eyes when
she’s re-ady.”
“OK, and when will I be able to see her?”
“She’s in a room now plea-se follow me and I’ll
take you there.”
———–
I walk into the hospital room where Emma is.
She looks so fragile that even the wind
b!owing could break her. Her skin is pale but
she looks beautiful. I see a small cut on the
left side of her lowerl-ip, she did a very good
job hiding that earlier today.
“I’ll leave you alone, plea-se call me when she
wakes up.”
“Thank you so much for saving her life, I’ll
forever be grateful to you for that.”
“I just did my job Sir, plea-se take care of her.”
And with that he left closing the door of the
room.
I t©uçhed her hand and noticed how cold it
was so I held it in mine to transfer some warm
to her b©dy. My other hand moved on its own
to her face, I ran two f!ngersto her forehead,
the side of her face, her cheek and now my
index f!nger t©uçhed herl-ips.
Even unconscious herl-ips have a magnet
effect on me because I couldn’t resist the nee-d
to k!ssher so I landed a small k!sson her
li-ps, very soft, I wouldn’t disturb her for world
right now. She looks like and angel and I fell
like I can stare at her all night long.
“I’m sorry my angel, I wish I could love you but
I can’t, I’m broken.” And whispering that I
k!$$£d her forehead.
———————–
EMMA’S POV
I open my eyes and try to adjust my sight to
the light in the room, I also tried to move a
little but my b©dy feels very so-re, there’s also
a wight on my right hand, I look to see what it
is and notice Adam slee-ping, his head is
resting on my hand. I try to move my hand
way very slow to not wake him up but as soon
as I move he lifted his head up and is now
looking right into my eyes.
“How are you?”
“What happen? where are we?”
“We are at a hospital, you pas-sed out
yesterday and I brou-ght you here.”
“Yesterday? I’ve been unconscious all this
time? why? what happened to me?”
“Hey calm down, will give you your answers
but little by little, for now I will call the doctor
so he can check you up and make sure
everything is fine, then we will talk, OK?”
I nod a yes and Adam leaves the hospital
room in a rush. I’ve never seen him like this,
his hair is a mess as well as his clothes, he
looks so different from the always-put-together
Adam I know. It looks like he sle-pt here at the
hospital.
The sound of the door opening makes me
leave my toughs.
“Emma, he’s Dr. Smitherman, he saved your
life.”
“Saved my life? I’m sorry but I don’t know what
happened?”
“Mrs. McRoberts you c@m£ into the hospital
yesterday with internal bleeding, we had to
perform an emergency surgery and as a result
of the loss of blood we also have to give you
two units of blood to keep you alive.”
Reality hit me right there, I now remember
what happened, Jason did this to me. I can’t
st©p the tears from falling, my own brother
almost killed me. I felt at ease when the
warmth from Adam’s hand met my shaking
one and he talked looking into my eyes, his
tone of voice as soft as silk.
“Is OK, you’re safe now, I will never let this
happen to you ever again but for that we nee-d
to know who did this to you.”
“I can’t” I whispered back.
“Mrs. McRoberts we un-derstand how you’re
feeling right now but we can’t help you if you
don’t say who this person is.”
“Emma I promise I’ll make sure this person
never leaves the prison but you nee-d to say a
name, just a name, plea-se.”
“Prison? nooo!!! I can’t s£nd my own brother to
prison, plea-se Adam don’t do this.”
“Your brother? you have a brother?”
“Mrs. would you like to press charges on your
brother?”
“No, plea-se I can’t.”
“We can’t f0rç£ you to do that, but plea-se think
about it, for your own safety.”
“Thank you Dr. Smitherman, but I prefer to
leave things like this for now.”
“OK, you’ll get a copy of your records once we
discharge you in case you change your mind
you have prove of what happened”
The doctor looked around and saw Adam’s
upset face and said.
“I’ll leave you two alone now, plea-se call me if
you nee-d me.”
He now turned to me and said.
“I hope you recover soon mam and plea-se be
careful.”
“Thank you, for saving my life Dr. Smitherman.”
And with that he walked out of the room.
“Emma, where is your brother?”
“Why are you asking?”
“Because if you don’t press charges on him I’ll
make him pay with my own hands.”
“plea-se don’t, plea-se Adam.”
“Just tell me where he is god dammit!!!!!!! ” He
yelled ma-king the entire room vibr@te. I felt
how my che-st got ti-ght and tears started to
gather in my eyes, a sob escaped my mouth.
Adam looked at me not knowing what to do.
“This is all my fault, I’m sorry.”
“Hey… hey… don’t say that….” he ran to me
and gr@bb£d both sides of my face in his
hands ma-king our eyes meet.
“I won’t do anything that you don’t want me to,
but plea-se don’t blame yourself.”
I hvgged him, I don’t know why but I just did.
Adam hesitated for a while but then hvgged
me back, he held me super ti-ght and I felt like
he wanted something, and more than want I
felt nee-d in his hvg, he was re-leasing
something that was being held back.
He smelled my hair and my n£¢k, his warm
breathing and his proximity caused a shiver to
run down my spine. What are you doing to me
Adam?
A knock at the door made us break the hvg.
We both look at the now opening door. I was
so confused to see who stood at the entrance
of my hospital room. Adam was was surprised
as I was, I noticed by his facial expressions,
but his tone turned harsh when he spoke.
“What the fv¢k are you doing here?”
ADAM’S POV
“What the fv¢k are you doing here?”
“This morning when you called me to say your
wife had an accident and that you will not
come to work I got worried and decided to
give her a visit.” Priscilla replied ma-king
emphasis on the word wife with a evil sm-irk
on her face .
I turned to Emma and kind of agree with the
astonish look on her face, however I do know
what Priscilla is trying to do and there’s no
one to blame but me. I have to admit, didn’t
see this one coming, I mean I always made it
very clear to her that whatever we had will
never be anything more than S-x and the fact
that she feels entitled to show up here makes
me furious.
Wait, but why is this bothering me so much,
Emma isn’t my real wife. I’m so confused right
now, is like I don’t know myself any more.
Took me out of me trance when Priscilla
walked closer and gave me a k!sson my
cheek, near the side of my mouth, what a
snake, I won’t tolerate this.
I gr@bb£d her by the arm and walked her back
to the door, I want her out, I don’t want Emma
to see this.
“What are you doing, let me go!” Priscilla
complained but I didn’t care.
“I want you out of my sight, and don’t you ever
dare get near my wife again.”
“But you said you don’t care about her.”
“That’s none of your concern, now get out!”
“Adam–”
I had to cut her off right there.
“Mr. McRobert, I’m your god damn boss.”
The boss card worked, with that said she ran
away, a de-ep sigh of relief escaped myl-ips.
“You are an as-s-hole.” Emma’s voice made me
spin towards her.
“What?”
“You heard me, yesterday your seemed very
happy in her arms and now you treat her like
garbage. What kind of man are you? you do
the exact same thing to me.”
“Emma don’t compare y—” she cut me off.
“plea-se go, I nee-d to be alone.”
“Are you serious, I kicked her out for you and
now you want me to go too?”
“You really don’t get it don’t you? You think
because you are rich and powerful you have
the right to use other people, you think us not
billionaires don’t have feelings or dignity.”
“Is not like that Emma.”
“Oh is not like that, then what is it like then? ”
I opened my mouth to reply but no answer
c@m£ out of my mouth, I lost my words and at
that she continued her rant.
“You can’t answer right? why did you married
me in the first place? you clearly don’t nee-d
me, you clearly can have any woman you want,
then why me? why don’t you let me go?”
“Did you just forget I paid you for this?”
“No, never, trust me I haven’t and never will.”
“Then I don’t owe you any answers or
explanation, I do whatever I want, specially if
I’m paying for it. You want out of this? fine,
like I said you can leave but first I want my
money back… simple.”
“You arrogant bastard, you know I don’t have
that money.”
“Great, then I think this discussion is going
nowhere and I hate to waste my time.”
“Then don’t waste mine and leave, leave me
alone Adam, I don’t want to see you right now.”
“I’m going, but I’ll come back later because I
paid for this too so I can come and go
whenever I want” at the word this I looked
around the room indicating what I meant with
a sm-irk plastered in my face.
“I hate you!!!” She yelled.
Emma hates me and I don’t blame her, I’ve
been an as-s-hole to her this whole time. Truth
is I don’t care about the money I gave her, but
that’s the only thing I have to st©p her from
leaving, if she ever finds the money to pay me
back I’ll make something up to st©p her from
leaving all over again. I rather have her hating
me than leaving me.
—————————————————
“Hi Emma, I missed you so much!!” Demi said
ruining inside as soon as I opened the door to
the hospital room.
“What a nice surprise, you c@m£ to visit me!!!!
Emma replied exited.
“I hope you don’t mind that I brou-ght her, she
really wanted to see you.” I told Emma.
“I don’t mind at all, I finally got a enjoyable
visitor.” I knew what she meant but I decided
to let it slide.
“Emma, what happened to you? you got a boo-
boo?”
“Yes princes, I got a boo-boo in my tummy,
but I’ll be fine very soon.”
“Can you do some coloring books with me? If
you don’t feel too bad.”
“I’ll love to, hop in the be-d with me.” Emma
padded on the empty side of the be-d for Demi
sit in.
I made myself comfortable on the arm chair in
one corner of the room, rested my left ankle
on my right knee and just enjoyed the view of
these beautiful girls coloring princesses.
When I got myself into this never thought that
Emma and Demi will become so close, is like
they’ve known each other for years. My heart
grows every time I see Emma being this sweet
to my daughter, she doesn’t have to do it but
she does it out of her heart and I melt in a
unexplained mix of emotions because I know
my daughter nee-ds this.
As ha-rd as I want to keep Amy’s memory
intact I know that Demi is too little, I can’t
expect her to close her heart to the possibility
of a new mom. I see her happy and realize
that’s all I want out of life.
And then I see Emma, effortlessly beautiful and
innocent. I can’t st©p looking at her every
move, bringing light to my daughter’s face
without even trying. If only I would’ve meet her
un-der different circu-mtances.
For a split of a second she shifted her gaze
from the coloring book to me and our eyes
met, I can’t hide the small smile on myl-ips
and I know that I made her uncomfortable
because she quic-kly brou-ght her focus back to
the coloring book.

ONE WEEK LATER
Today after a week I can finally bring Emma
back home, I asked the gardener to bring
flowers in the house and with the help of
Martha and a very excited Demi we arranged
them in vases and placed them all over the
house and her room. I don’t know why I’m
doing this but I’m just very happy to have her
back at home.
At the hospital the doctor gave us instructions
for the house and how to keep the wound from
the surgery healing free of infections. The drive
back home was taken in a comfortable silence
and once I opened the front door of the house
Demi c@m£ running and hvgged Emma.
“Hey remember to be careful princess, you can
hurt Emma.”
“Sorry Emma, is because I’m very happy to see
you.”
“I know, and I’m very happy to see you to.”
She hvgged Demi and then looked at Martha
and said waking over to her. “I’m happy to see
you too Martha.”
Martha smiled and hvger Emma back.
“So many flowers, how pretty.” Emma said
smiling softly.
“You like them, daddy said he missed you and
brou-ght some flowers to make you happy, see
daddy I told you this will work.” Demi’s reply
left me in shock, what team are you really in
Demi?
Emma looked towards me trying to figure
something out, but I kept my pocker face,
faking not to be bothered at all when in reality
I was literally dying inside.
“OK everyone, to much talk, Emma nee-ds to
rest. ”
“I’ll take you upstairs.” I told Emma, she
nodded and walked upstairs with me.
My right hand hvgged her w@!st as we walked,
I wonder if she feels the same firework
s-en-sation in her stomach once we t©uçh or if
its just me. I open the door for her and as I
push it open we get closer and closer, I see
her cheeks blu-shing highlighting her freckles
ma-king her look prettier.
This woman is going to be the end of me.
