homegood store near her house in the afternoon with a heavy heart she want to pick up Emma from preschool mom didn't come to pick me up again today Emma whispered I came get ready Emma we have to go Sarah replied Emma immediately noticed something was wrong her mother's things weren't in their usual places she didn't ask any questions just looked around the room only at night before sleeping did she ask her grandmother where's mom mom is at work Emma her grandmother replied days and weeks passed Sarah explained that her mother had to leave urgently for

work but would return soon and wanted to believe it herself the first time Emily called was a month later on a weekend Emma and her grandmother were at home when the phone rang Sarah hurried to answer it was Emily her voice sounded irritated but Sarah called Emma anyway Emma was happy to talk to her mother but Emily revealed nothing specific about herself said she was working still couldn't send money and wouldn't return the conversation ended quickly as calls were expensive once again Sarah and Emma were alone Emily's calls were infrequent and brief Emma stopped asking

about her mother and seemed to stop expecting her return about a year later Emily sent some money for her mother and daughter after that their conversations became more cheerful and friendly and Sarah realized her daughter had found a man she tried to learn more about her daughter but Emily revealed nothing Sarah also took Emma to first grade by then Emma had accepted and moved on from the situation with her mother Emily called more often sometimes disappeared again rarely sent money and when she did she reproached them for it Sarah saved all the money Emily sent

not spending any keeping it carefully for Emma at school Emma made friends with a girl named Lily and they became close friends unlike Emma Lily grew up in a complete family Lily's parents liked Emma and the girls often visited each other inviting each other to birthday parties and maintaining their friendship throughout their school years Emma was already in high school when Emily revealed she was about to give birth Sarah was shocked Emily how could you you abandoned Emma and now you're having another child she lamented to her daughter their phone conversations became very rare Mom

this is my choice I want a child with the man I love Emily responded and yes I can't send any more money you'll have to manage somehow from that day on Sarah harbored resentment towards her daughter she couldn't forgive Emily for leaving Emma soon a registered letter arrived at Sarah's address where Emily renounced custody of Emma in favor of her mother that night Sarah couldn't sleep she cried unable to understand where she had gone wrong with her daughter she thought Emma was asleep but the girl was also awake Emma noticed her grandmother wasn't herself lately

that night Emma felt immense pity for her grandmother entered the kitchen silently and hugged her don't cry Grandma we're used to it being just the two of us everything will be okay Emma whispered Sarah hugged her granddaughter but couldn't hold back tears of resentment Emma matured quickly and her friendship with Lily grew stronger year after year they never had typical girl fights shared secrets and grew up together Sarah was retired but continued working to provide everything she could for her granddaughter After High School Emma and Lily decided to attend medical school together Lily's parents asked

her to reconsider offering to pay for her education at a Medical University but Lily insisted and together with Emma continued their studies the girls enjoyed studying and appreciated their friendship after finishing Medical School Lily entered University to become a doctor while Emma started working at a clinic knowing Emma had graduated as as a nurse neighbors began inviting her for home injections or IVs Emma gladly helped earning some extra money in May the weather was quite warm and Lily and Emma met again for a walk and a chat Lily talked about her studies and chosen profession

deciding to become a dentist while Emma shared various stories from her work suddenly the wind picked up clouds gathered and a ma storm approached running back home was too far so the girls entered the nearest cafe the cafe was almost empty and they took a table to wait out the storm ordering coffee and desserts while continuing to chat marily they didn't notice two young men entering the cafe like the girls the men decided to wait out the storm and their Lively laughter immediately caught their attention the guys exchanged glances and then approached the girls table

do you mind if we join you one of them asked Lily and Emma exchanged glances Emma Shrugged while Lily replied no no we don't mind the young men introduced themselves as James and Alex James immediately noticed Emma while Alex was interested in Lily Alex studied law and was finishing University while James worked as a programmer a conversation quickly sparked in the group they got to know each other shared stories and joked when the storm passed the young people walked together in the cool evening James and Alex still lived in the same neighborhood so they all

walked together from that day each couple's relationship blossomed and a month later Emma decided to introduce James to her grandmother James then introduced Emma to his family Emma and her grandmother lived modestly compared to James family but this didn't matter to James his parents Rebecca and Paul Johnson were successful his mother worked as the Director of a prestigious Academy and his father was the deputy director of a small company they lived in a large house during the introduction Rebecca scrutinized Emma asking many questions although she didn't say anything explicitly negative Emma felt uncomfortable as if

she were being interrogated Rebecca didn't particularly like Emma finding her too simple with uncertain parental backgrounds and little education Beyond vocational school she's just a nurse thought Rebecca meanwhile James didn't notice anything wrong he was so in love with Emma that he soon proposed Emma was happy but Rebecca wasn't James why do you need this sure date her go to the movies stay over but why get married you'll ruin your life Rebecca protested Mom I love her James replied heun's doing the right thing our son isn't just any bum Paul supported his son of course

to her our son is a good catch she's probably already eyeing the house and Counting our money James you're making a mistake listen to your mother Rebecca chided Rebecca calm down you're saying these things Emma seemed decent and very pleasant to me Paul responded Rebecca dramatically rolled her eyes and walked away refusing to continue the conversation on the other hand Sarah was happy for Emma and James and gave them her blessing James mother never accepted his decision refusing to organize a lavish wedding Emma and James decided to marry without a big celebration however Emma wore

a white dress her grandmother had saved the money Emily had sent over the years converted it to dollars so the amount was substantial in her white dress Emma looked like a pure innocent ethereal princess Sarah couldn't hold back tears at the wedding however James parents behaved more reservedly congratulating the newlyweds along with Lily and Alex after the wedding Emma and James began living with his parents the large two-story house was meant for a big family so it was decided at a family meeting that the young couple wouldn't need to rent an apartment thus began the

young couple's married life living with James parents Emma taught by her grandmother to keep everything in order knew how to cook clean and wash but her mother-in-law always found something to complain about Emma you put the dishes in the wrong order Rebecca disapprovingly said to her daughter-in-law Emma sat silently and then reorganized everything in strict order Emma you forgot to dry the fork s before putting them in the drawer her mother-in-law grumbled again I know everything protested Emma don't talk nonsense look here her mother-in-law nervously said she didn't like her daughter-in-law growing more irritated each

day James noticed nothing sometimes Emma suggested they live separately but James dismissed all suggestions when Emma tried to tell him about his mother's criticism James said well your women sort it out without me and maybe mom is just jealous Emma loved her husband raised by her grandmother and preserving her innocence for him she believed she would spend her whole life with him loving and respecting him he protected and cared for her but how she wished to live separately Emma genuinely liked her father-in-law Paul but no matter how hard she tried all she received from Rebecca

was dissatisfaction even in her gaze there was open contempt and disgust for Emma Emma didn't burden her grandmother with these conversations Sarah wasn't young anymore and her health had deteriorated Emma tried to visit her more often not leaving her alone thus the first year of Emma's married life passed during this time Lily and Alex also married immediately living separately both already working and taking a mortgage for an apartment Emma was very happy for her friend but a kind of Crisis settled in her relationship with James James had noticeably cooled towards Emma and she she couldn't

help but notice although nothing serious had happened Emma's intuition told her something was coming it manifested in small details of their daily life James like his mother became irritable upset if she didn't place a shirt correctly or didn't have time to iron a blouse he stopped waiting for her to have dinner together after her second shift and Emma ended up eating alone he no longer waited for her after work and their walks together and outings to the cinema or theater on weekends became less frequent more and more often James lay on the couch or went

somewhere alone and Emma didn't know where this hurt Emma but she endured believing everything would soon improve but disaster Struck from where Emma least expected Sarah passed away unexpectedly this event devastated Emma as her grandmother was the closest and dearest person to her Emma cried bitterly refusing to believe her grandmother the only family she had had replaced her parents making it incredibly hard for the young woman to accept she was literally drowning in sorrow not wanting to live anymore those days passed in a blur Emma didn't immediately notice that James had distanced himself from her

during that time Lily and Alex came to her Aid helping to organize everything and simply being there during this difficult period Lily tried not to leave Emma alone while Alex took care of all the necessary arrangements James didn't attend the funeral citing urgent work work Emma didn't argue she had no strength and couldn't cry anymore Emma still couldn't accept such a harsh reality deeply wounded and in dire need of support which she received from Lily but expected from her husband Emma returned home silently after the funeral thinking no one would be there everyone should be

at work suddenly she heard her mother-in-law and her husband talking At first she only caught fragments of the conversation but its meaning shocked her Emma stood in the hallway having entered the house so quietly that the couple didn't hear her Rebecca and James were coming out of the kitchen heading to the hallway continuing their conversation to avoid interrupting and hear the end of the dialogue Emma mechanically hid in the hallway closet closing the door behind her and continuing to listen I know Mom I know everything James said why did you start this marriage game I

told you his mother replied well it happened what should I do now speculated Emma's husband what should you do divorce her or have you changed your mind Christina returns from Spain in a week and I want you not to miss the opportunity son she's the one you need understand his mother said yes I understand I haven't seen Christina in a long time but we've been in touch she's definitely not like James sigh clearly referring to his wife Emma didn't understand who they were talking about but realized clear clearly they wanted to get rid of her

like an unwanted toy discard and forget her you didn't know her before or am I wrong Rebecca asked her son yes I knew her no need to hide James sighed again then go today file for divorce it's enough let her leave tomorrow his mother said disdainfully yes Mom you're right he replied and they both put on their shoes and left the house Emma heard them get into the car heard the engine start she came out of the closet with tears streaming down her face she didn't expect such a blow from her husband from her mother-in-law

yes Emma understood she had never pleased her but James how could he Emma her legs trembling went upstairs and collapsed on the bed utterly exhausted she cried bitterly inconsolable as if trying to cry out all the pain and resentment accumulated inside her less than 15 minutes later James appeared in the bedroom doorway you he exclaimed in surprise you're already home how did you manage he and his mother hadn't gone far and Emma's return wouldn't have gone unnoticed how could you James Emma asked between sobs ah so you heard everything James replied well it's for the

best Emma take care of yourself but yes I'm filing for divorce Emma silently got up took her suitcase and started packing her things James watched in silence for a moment before leaving the room as well his mother waited in the car and he told her Emma was home and had heard everything she Eaves dropped can you believe it my God James who did you bring into our house Rebecca marveled well Mom don't exaggerate the truth is I pity her James suddenly said pity sure well you're a fool I can't believe it his mother replied but

she lost her grandmother and now also faces a divorce it must hurt James reasoned oh come on feel sorry I've endured her for more than a year and who sympathized with me enough stop whining letun go shopping later Rebecca ordered and they left meanwhile Emma packed all her things left her engagement ring on the nightstand and called a taxi she went to her grandmother's apartment the young woman's heart was shattered as every inch of the apartment reminded her of her beloved grandmother the person who had replaced her mother who had always been there to support

her now Emma was completely alone she tried to stay strong but couldn't her work gave her two weeks off so she had some time to recover gradually she cleaned the apartment and unpacked there were photos of Emily too it had been over 10 years since Emily had been in Emma's and her grandmother's Lives who knows and probably doesn't care Emma whispered to herself she looked at the photo photos reflecting on how different everything might have been if her mother had stayed had been a real mother to her given her advice supported her or perhaps even

dissuaded her from Marriage saving her from betrayal and lies but Emma was alone unwanted by both her husband and her mother a few days later Lily and Alex came to see Emma Alex had heard about the divorce from his former close friend over the last six months James had changed not just towards his wife but in general Alex noticed his arrogance and disdain and cut off communication with him but upon hearing about the divorce the friends couldn't leave Emma alone Lily supported Emma while Alex provided legal advice we don't have any shared property Alex but

thank you and thank you Lily Emma said the friends took Emma for a walk Emma had lived like a Hermit for days barely eating becoming thin and pale Lily and Alex took their friend for a walk and then invited her to eat at a cafe Emma gradually began to open up and a week later James called and asked Emma to come to the divorce proceedings Lily offered to accompany her but Emma declined James seemed simply Splendid radiating happiness and lightness smiling and being courteous meanwhile Emma remained pale and thin as before neither ex spouse had

any complaints or objections so their divorce was quick as they left the courthouse James said to his ex- wife thank you for not making trouble I urgently needed the divorce but Emma you should take better care of yourself to be frank you don't look very well Emma didn't respond walking silently she knew she felt much worse as her body had failed due to stress on her way home however she stopped at a pharmacy bought two pregnancy tests and decided to take one immediately leaving the other for the next day but even the morning test showed

two bright lines and sat on the edge of the bathtub pondering what am I going to do now she immediately dismissed the idea of abortion she had returned to work and decided well whatever happens happens she soon told Lily and Alex about the pregnancy as she had no one else to tell Emma Lily exclaimed in Surprise James doesn't know Alex asked no and I don't want him to know Emma replied are you sure HEK the father you could get child support Alex suggested I don't know I don't want to I'm still scared Emma admitted were

they threatening you Lily asked worried no nothing like that but they really wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible James has a new love interest I don't know what they do if they found out Emma reasoned well if that's the case Emma then of course Lily supported her friend Emma registered for prenatal care despite the stress and shocks she had experence experienced her pregnancy progressed well upon learning of her condition she decided not to worry about trivial matters as there was now a little one inside her whose Health was her responsibility another

month passed when one night someone knocked on Emma's door Emma didn't expect anyone and opened the door stunned to see her own mother Emily In the Flesh Emily looked excellent well groomed with an elegant hairstyle well-dressed manicured and a light Pleasant perfume indicating she hadn't lived in poverty all these years what do you want Emma asked coldly still at the door well let me in or should I tell the neighbors everything Emily replied Emma stepped aside and Emily entered the apartment taking off her shoes she looked around yes the apartment needs some repairs of course

it's asking for it but yes everything is fixable she said it's none of your business what do you want speak Emma demanded you're so abrupt you and I Emma have a common cause and need to be friends and cooperate her mother replied playfully we have no common cause go straight to the point it's late and I have to work tomorrow Emma insisted well then straight to the point Emily said entering the living room and sitting on the sofa Crossing her legs Emma observed her mother closely unsure what to expect as I know your grandmother recently

passed away Emily began ah I see you know but you missed the funeral Emma replied don't be cheeky with me I couldn't come I came Now by law we have 6 months so let's decide how we'll split the apartment Emily declared arrogantly split are you crazy you haven't been in our lives since I was five left a little girl to my grandmother didn't call or come to the funeral and now now you have the audacity to talk about the apartment Emma shouted calm down dear I have another teenage son and yes I won't lose my

inheritance Emily replied I pity your other child with people like you it's better not to have children at all leave Emma said firmly my departure won't solve anything letun resolve this peacefully and amicably or I'll evict you Emily replied coldly leave Emma repeated Emily smirked arrogantly but had no choice but to leave the apartment the next morning Emma called Lily and arranged a meeting with Alex Emma I'm a lawyer but I don't handle Family Matters however your mother has the right to a share of The Inheritance she is a first-degree air first you need to

go to the registry office let me go with you and if you need help in court I'll find a good lawyer with experience Alex said Thank you guys Emma replied and they scheduled a meeting with the registry office meanwhile James life was the complete opposite of his ex-wife's he indeed started Living with a new woman Christina was the daughter of his mother's acquaintance from a very wealthy family a union Rebecca had desired for a long time after school Christina completed design courses but couldn't attend University as she was expelled her parents paid for several private

design schools in recent Years Christina had been living and working in Spain and had now returned Rebecca along with Christina's mother had decided to push their children together the young people began communicating online previously and had already decided to live together so directly from the plane Christina went to the Johnson's house Rebecca couldn't be happier with the new candidate modern elegant and even Christina's bold character was much more appealing than Emma's submissive personality however Emma had long been forgotten in that house almost immediately only Paul still wondered how this was possible it was like playing

with dolls marrying divorcing especially with a girl going through so much pain how could you son Paul scolded James don't try to evoke pity don't turn our son into a monster Rebecca defended dad seriously feelings happen maybe we rushed into marriage and I'm not responsible for the grandmother's death mom is right I'm not a monster don't exaggerate James repeated his mother's words it's not an exaggeration it's the truth Paul replied going to his room he truly felt sorry for Emma he was the only one in that family who sympathized with the young woman and decided

to visit her later to avoid reopening Old Wounds from the first day of living with James Christina felt like a full-fledged housewife in the home although she didn't bother with household chores after just a week she asked why doesn't the made come Rebecca had to hire one now a woman came to the house three times a week cleaning everywhere and helping in the kitchen the family began ordering restaurant food more often as Christina turned her nose up at home-cooked meals trying to please Christina Rebecca didn't notice how her whole life had already been reorganized around

her a month later James and Christina applied for marriage and soon got married this wedding was drastically different from the first one with Emma there was a lavish outdoor ceremony they didn't invite many guests just their close friends James reluctantly invited Alex but asked him to come without Lily to which Alex refused and then completely cut off communication with James he wouldn't have attended the celebration even with Lily as he couldn't forgive James betrayal after the solemn outdoor ceremony there was a reception a luxurious photo Zone with doves and balloons released into the sky a

true celebration that would be remembered for a lifetime and only one person was sad at this celebration Paul he still couldn't understand what Emma had done to deserve such treatment and was ashamed of his entire family James Carefree family life began a new Emma went to the registry office with Alex the office listened to her took all her details and said we need to check if your grandmother left a will it will take some time so please come back in 2 weeks and we'll see based on the facts Emily was also not Idol Emma's Behavior

puzzled her Emily wanted to resolve the issue quickly and return to her home country where her husband and daughter awaited however she told them a completely different version of events that her mother was Gravely ill and she needed to see her urgently in reality Emily wanted to take the money and leave not to her new family but as far away as possible from everyone family life with her new husband and younger daughter bored her as much as her poor life with Emma and her mother want had Emily wanted to take the money and live a

free life where no one would find her and live for her own pleasure Emily didn't care about her loved ones feelings Emily also visited the registry office presenting all the necessary documents another stressor didn't go unnoticed by Emma and she felt unwell at night she immediately called an ambulance and was taken to the hospital at risk of a miscarriage so she was admitted Emma was scared for her baby she followed bed rest and took all prescribed medications a week passed and suddenly Lily called Emma her friend didn't know Emma had been hospitalized and called for

another reason at Alex's request but upon learning of all the circumstances Lily rushed to visit her friend that same afternoon Emma looked so pale thin with dark circles under her eyes Lily immediately placed treats for her friend on the bedside table yogurts fruits vegetables juice and sweets oh Emma they really affected you Lily sympathized I was so scared for the baby Emma replied Lily hugged her and then said I have news for you Alex found out at the registry office that your grandmother made a will and left a copy there shortly before her death probably

didn't have time to tell you Lily said what does that mean Emma asked it means Emily Lily couldn't call this woman your mother can't claim the apartment your grandmother took care of that apparently she felt there could be trouble Lily said Emma smiled sadly she was the best absolutely the best Emma replied thanking Lily and Alex you guys are the best friends what would I do without you she said they chatted a bit more and Lily left instructing Emma to take vitamins recover quickly and return home Emma stayed in the hospital Emily also found out

about the will and realizing she wouldn't get a square inch of The Inheritance went into a AG yelling about the fraud at the registry office how her mother wasn't in her right mind and would sue everyone there security escorted her out of the building Emily returned to Emma's apartment but found no one at home no matter how much she knocked or called no one answered a neighbor peaked out from the hallway and seeing that Emily wasn't in her right mind threatened to call the police Emily hurried away but decided she would definitely return the next

day the next day she sought a consultation with a lawyer who told her the chances were extremely slim for the young woman it was her only home and she had also renounced guardianship over her minor daughter Emily had to leave empty-handed bitter and offended returning to another country with her husband and teenage daughter her husband saw the state of his wife and didn't understand what was happening but at one point Emily expressed everything to him that she was tired of family life that her mother left her nothing giving the apartment to her oldest daughter that

she wanted freedom and ease but only had to do housework and work her husband listened without interrupting and didn't recognize her of course he suspected everything couldn't be exactly as Emily said but not to this extent as Emily hadn't even mentioned her eldest daughter in their home country the man realized he had lived not with a woman but with a real monster a monster who gave birth to children and abandoned them to their fate for money and a good life he divorced her obtaining custody of their daughter and forbidding Emily from approaching the girl Emily

simply decided to leave seeking her happiness once again 2 weeks later Emma was discharged and firmly decided to avoid stress and take care of herself and the baby the neighbors told Emma that Emily had come but left and hadn't returned I hope she doesn't come back Emma thought and resumed her normal life she stopped worrying about the divorce simply living and finding small Joys every day her belly was already starting to show a little one day the doorbell rang again Emma wasn't expecting anyone inside as she went to open the door standing on the threshold

was Paul Johnson hello Emma said in Surprise hello Emma Paul replied Emma stepped back and invited Paul in quickly putting the kettle on to boil Paul entered the kitchen examining his former daughter-in-law and couldn't help but ask Emma caught his Gaze on her belly and caressing it nodded is it my sons Paul asked yes Emma replied and he sent you no no Emma I came on my own because everything that happened is a nightmare and I couldn't avoid bringing my apologies although what's the use now but why didn't you say anything before you wouldn't have

divorced James should pay child support for both the child and you Paul said I didn't realize immediately and then James had already made his decision he was waiting for Christina and I became unnecessary for him Emma replied what kind of people are they Emma if you knew how ashamed I am ashamed of my son and my wife of this whole situation it's simply unimaginable Paul said you don't need to apologize you did nothing wrong Emma replied Paul then remembered he had brought gifts unloading bags of fruits and sweets on the table I brought you some

gifts and it looks like you need fruits at this moment he smiled you shouldn't have Paul but thank you Emma replied she served coffee and cups Cut the Cake her former relative had brought and they had coffee and talked Emma still said James should take responsibility for the child how would you like to tell him yourself Paul asked I thought about it but I still don't know after all heun's now married again Emma said in a low voice the fact that he's married doesn't absolve him of responsibility for the child it's time to grow up

instead of letting his mother solve everything for him from school to now Paul said clearly irritated with his son I'm not sure yet if I want him to know Emma said softly I understand girl Paul replied let me visit and help you for now you're completely alone all right Emma said but what will your wife say about it well first of all she won't know and secondly shek my wife for now but not my love Paul said they had a warm conversation and then he went home Emma thought for a long time about his words

and decided he was right James should know about the child but how to tell him Emma didn't know and decided to postpone these thoughts for now she returned to work and her life returned to its usual routine when suddenly one day fate confronted her again with James Emma started registering the apartment in her name and in an office she unexpectedly ran into him literally collided in the hallway James didn't expect to see his ex-wife there Emma he said hello James she replied James involuntarily glanced at her belly I see you're not wasting time he said

slowly this is your child James Emma suddenly said he looked into her eyes and smiled disdainfully mine he asked again yes yours she confirmed what nonsense don't pin your belly on me we're divorced and where you are and with whom after the div horse is none of my business I don't want to know anything about it a flicker of fear passed through his eyes and he hurried to leave but then turned and said finally and don't think of pursuing me or making any claims Emma realized she didn't want to fight this family again at that

moment but at least now he knew she thought Emma was already on maternity leave dedicating much time to preparing for the baby's birth she knew it would be a girl two ultrasounds had shown this she slowly bought a crib a stroller started buying clothes everyone was there for her including Lily and Alex Alex promised to assemble the crib and Paul often came to help too Paul knew about Emma's encounter with James no matter what he says Emma you can get everything through the court Paul told his former daughter-in-law I'll manage alone for now thank you

Paul Emma replied Paul already knew that James was aware of Emma's pregnancy but his son didn't mention the matter at home continuing to live with his new wife Christina In Due Time Emma gave birth to a girl whom she named Sarah in honor of her grandmother Emma held the baby in her arms and couldn't be happier inhaling her sweet scent at that moment Emma realized all the unpleasant experiences she had gone through weren't in vain she had now found true happiness it didn't matter that she was Raising her daughter alone without her husband the important

thing was that she and Sarah now had each other the closest relatives came to see her and Sarah when they were discharged Lily with Alex and Paul the grandfather asked to hold the baby in his arms and was moved to tears now I have a granddaughter thank you Emma he said during the time Sarah and Emma were in the Maternity Ward Alex and Lily assembled the crib decorated the room with balloons Emma entered the apartment and was delighted thank you dear ones it wasn't necessary Emma smiled placing the baby in in the crib while the

guests were busy in the kitchen Paul brought a small cake Lily put the water to boil and Alex prepared the cups Emma returned to the kitchen observing the scene and her heart felt warmer and calmer the guests stayed for a bit and then began to leave Lily and Alex gave the baby toys and a large package of diapers as a birth gift and Paul gave Emma some money initially Emma didn't want to accept but he insisted there from the grandfather he said and Emma em accepted the gift thus began a completely new life for Emma

she managed to leave all the past problems behind because she now had Sarah a baby for whom Emma lived and moved forward in the Johnson family life also continued as usual and only Paul increasingly realized how suffocating it was in that family when his beloved wife his gentle and kind Rebecca turned into a shrew James also lived to please everyone forgetting about Emma and the baby for him it was very easy to pretend he knew nothing erase and forget what was inconvenient he and Christina enjoyed life traveled had fun and only Rebecca occasionally worried that

her son and daughter-in-law still had no children James Rebecca said again during dinner don't you think it's time to get checked you've been together for 3 years and still can't have children it's cause for concern James brushed his mother's hand aside but Christina didn't like these conversations at all I think the real cause for concern is you Rebecca intruding so grossly into our Affairs Christina said to her mother-in-law Christina moderate your arrogance you don't need to talk to me like that Rebecca scolded her dear daughter-in-law for the first time Christina dramatically rolled her eyes and

left the table James Rebecca continued I think there's no harm in going to the medical center and getting checked it's for your own good understand son we think about it mom James said following his wife Christina sat in their room sulking Christina come on don't be mad James hugged his wife by the shoulders she pulled away from his arms continuing to play the offended part listen Maybe mom exaggerated but in general she's right he said maybe it's true we should go see a doctor I don't want to see doctors and I don't want your mother

lecturing me about these things Christina said and in the following months no one in the Johnson family touched the subject again but Rebecca couldn't let it go and one day when the whole family was gathered she decided to raise the issue again I really don't understand what's stopping you from seeing doctors or maybe you don't want children your father and I aren't getting any younger we want grandchildren to spoil Paul shrank slightly at this declaration mom why do we need these doctors what will they tell us James replied to his mother what will they tell

us maybe it's infertility it's not just by chance that you can't conceive Christina listen I'll find the best doctors female infertility can be treated successfully insisted the mother-in-law and what makes you think I'm infertile maybe James is sterile or everyone in his family is Saints Christina retorted I'm certainly not sterile James defended himself Christina frowned and looked at her husband and when was the last time you had had an exam and how would you know this phrase also caught Rebecca's attention she turned to look at her son and only Paul was there covering his face

with his hands James realized all the family's eyes were on him because I have a child he said in a low voice there was a pause well there is a child not with me in short Emma left pregnant then I found out later with a belly but I don't care about her pregnancy and I don't want to see that child in short it's all nonsense the point is I'm not sterile and that's that James hurried to his room to avoid questions he didn't want to answer idiot Paul muttered but it seemed no one noticed the

women exchanged glances did you know Christina asked what nonsense of course not and anyway what difference does it make now who knows when he saw her maybe it's not even his child the Mother-in-law replied Christina muttered following her husband to the room James was lying on the bed fiddling with his smartphone Christina entered the room and firmly closed the door behind her so is it really your child she asked approaching her husband well probably Emma is like that reserved where would she have an affair barely wanted to stay with me and when she did it

was in the dark under the covers James replied with sarcasm all right spare me the details Christina grimaced with disgust what do you want from me take the exam then agreed letun do it tomorrow James replied unwilling to discuss the matter further he did everything possible to forget about the child and now his whole family would insist on this matter no need for the exam dear it's not about you Christina said sitting on the edge of the bed looking expectantly at her husband he sat up adjusting the pillow behind his back what do you mean

he asked your mother is right it's me I can't have children Christina said James paused for a few seconds then asked and when did you know this a long time ago Spain lived to the fullest but it turned out this way in short I had an abortion two and the second was fatal the term was quite Advanced but I paid for it well can't have children Christina said James reflected for a few minutes the room fell into a deafening silence well it doesn't matter anyway who needs those kids he said to his wife we do

James your mother is right we need a child but even my parents don't know Christina replied well I don't know should we hire a surrogate mother or something he reasoned Why Pay wait support who knows whom and there are also risks that only become evident a year or more later what age should your child be now Christina looked at her husband who still didn't understand where she was going with this I have no idea maybe 2 years old why bring this up again he didn't understand and then if this child is yours and is healthy

we can take and raise her ourselves Christina said you're crazy what do you mean James exclaimed anyway first we need to establish paternity Christina explained to her husband they argued talked about what to do how to get out of this situation but they didn't know that Rebecca was listen listening to their conversation behind the door Paul had already left on a business trip he didn't want to get involved in these intrigues again once again he felt saddened by how much his wife had changed and how his family members behaved what he heard in his son

and daughter-in-law's room profoundly shocked Rebecca she left silently not wanting to be discovered and reflected on everything there was much to reflect on as Rebecca and her family liked Christina very much but the whole situation with the abortion and infertility didn't fit into the perfect family image Rebecca always wanted to present to her family several days passed and Rebecca taking advantage of a moment alone with her daughter-in-law said Christina sorry but I must talk to you about this well all right I'll take the exam Christina replied but Rebecca continued actually I heard everything that time

Christina we don't need your false exams instead we should unite it's no use having these useless men as soon as we hear a baby crying we rush to find out what happened you Eaves Dro too Christina asked don't exaggerate I told you it was by chance but if what you said is serious and you're ready for it I'll help Rebecca said Christina reflected for a moment well maybe you're right I can't do it alone and this would be a great solution so first we need James to establish paternity let's start this week Rebecca said Christina

smiled conspiratorially at night Paul visited Emma and Sarah again during their quiet conversation he revealed his house secrets to Emma Emma I don't know what will happen next but it seems they're plotting something please be careful Paul told his former daughter-in-law do you think they could harm us I don't bother them we just live quietly Emma replied I don't know Emma but seeing everything that's happening there my heart heart isn't calm I'm very worried about you if anything happens call me please Paul pleaded all right I promise Emma said I observe you and don't understand

how you still live there you're such a good person Emma reasoned I myself don't understand anymore Emma but one thing I firmly decided I'll divorce I can't take it anymore I really have no strength I was about to file for divorce but then this came up you see I have to watch them they whisper throughout the house and if I leave I won't even know what they're plotting this way at least I'm a little informed Paul replied during this time Emma and Paul became very close although her ex-father-in-law couldn't replace Emma's father the young woman

listened to his advice meanwhile in the Johnson household plans were already being made so here's the plan Rebecca said remember her address go there obey like you hear my son I want to visit and help then establish paternity and then it's all improvisation isn't it cruel to take the child like this James replied Christina rolled her eyes that's what I'm saying Rebecca told her son we can't trust anything to men James calm down we're doing everything correctly the child will be better here what can she give her Christina reasoned at that moment Paul entered the

house and found the whole family gathered in the kitchen what's happening he asked entering the room everyone fell silent immediately they decided not to involve the head of the family in this matter for now everyone knew Paul was a moralist and wouldn't approve of such things but once they gained custody of the child then Mariana's reputation as a mother would be confirmed and everyone would be seen as saviors Paul would realize they were right just some discussions you know Rebecca replied and we're preparing dinner come and sit too Paul S they were plotting something he

sent a message to Emma that night telling her to stay alert at the end of the week Emma picked up Sarah from preschool and they were walking home together when Emma saw a familiar figure at the entrance it was James James was already heading to Emma's apartment but as no one answered the door he decided to wait for his ex-wife downstairs he didn't particularly like this plan but went along with his wife and mother's wishes when Emma and her daughter approached James saw them and stood up from the bench hello Emma he said hello she

replied I'm here to talk to you Emma this is our daughter James gestured toward Sarah this is my daughter and there's nothing to talk about Emma replied hurrying to enter the building James followed her Emma she's my daughter as much as yours and I want to raise her I'll take this to court and you can't hide her I didn't hide her you rejected her back then remember Emma turned and looked into her ex-husband's eyes he looked away you still need to prove that he replied in a low voice doing this amicably won't work well then

we'll see each other in court Emma replied her voice trembling meanwhile Paul was already at home Rebecca and Christina were preparing dinner James should have been at work Paul's phone rang and he stepped outside to take the call so no one would hear the conversation yes Emma I'm listening what happened Paul replied James was here Emma said sounding scared all right and what did he want Paul asked he wants to establish paternity but I don't understand why he didn't even look at Sarah didn't ask her name he didn't know he had a daughter Emma choked

back tears struggling to contain her Emotions Don't Cry you did the right thing by calling me I'll think about it Paul reassured Emma hung up she could could afford to break down but various thoughts swirled in her mind Paul returned home and soon after James returned too there was no conversation at the dinner table in Paul's presence the women remained silent or talked about trivial matters the following week despite his mother and wife's resistance James filed a paternity suit Emma didn't resist gave her consent and immediately filed a counter claim for child support the court

proceedings began James paternity was recognized but Emma's demand was also granted James was ordered to pay child support well now we'll strip you of your rights and determine the child's residence with the father then I'll adopt this girl and there will be no need to give birth it'll be an excuse for my parents Rebecca said in the kitchen to her daughter-in-law at that moment Paul entered the kitchen what did you plan I can't believe what I'm hearing he said looking at these women Christina remained silent look at her mother-in-law why are you looking at me

like that yes we want our granddaughter to live with us Rebecca told her husband you showed no interest in her fate for over 2 years and now you want Paul asked his wife well we didn't know anything she hid from us Rebecca replied you didn't know because you didn't want to know but James knew everyone just found it convenient to pretend nothing was happening but I won't let you offend Emma and take Sarah Paul shouted running out of the house Christina looked questioningly at her mother-in-law after a moment of silence Rebecca gestured dismissively he won't

do anything the house had become a nest of evil and deceit meanwhile Child Protection Services visited Emma Emma didn't expect anyone but welcomed the visitors the representatives inspected the apartment took notes check the child's room toys and healthy food Sarah loves citrus fruits but really lik likes these Emma said they had nothing to hide she even showed the fridge it's strange everything seems fine here I don't understand why this complaint was made the lead inspector said and who filed the complaint Emma asked the complaint came from Rebecca Johnson the social worker replied oh my ex-mother-in-law

Emma interrupted when the inspectors left Emma called her ex-father-in-law and told him everything Paul immediately came to see her and they decided to hire a lawyer Alex Lily's husband helped find a good family law attorney instigated by his mother and wife James sought a court order for the child to live with him realizing this was a true battle Paul decided to stand by Emma until the end and filed for divorce and division of property against Rebecca this news took the woman by surprise she had always considered him a coward incapable of taking decisive action but

Paul knew how to act in the interest of good and worthy people the first court hearing took place we divorced by mutual agreement sometimes things don't work out James said but she blatantly hid her pregnancy if I had known I wouldn't have divorced her because children are the foundation of a family and Emma turned out to be a liar he continued that's not true Emma replied we divorced because my husband had a lover and wanted to separate from me quickly to be with her and as for James child your honor he knew not immediately but

after the divorce he saw me pregnant and I told him the child was his but he ran away and told me not to appear in his life again James jumped from his seat shouting that's a lie it never happened I knew nothing you knew because it was convenient to forget but my client remembers everything and knows who the child's father is Emma's lawyer stated the court took note of all the testimonies from the witnesses it was ordered that James paych child support and the court also established a visitation schedule with the child in the presence

of the mother twice a week Emma didn't oppose her daughter meeting her father and was satisfied with the Court's decision two weeks passed and James still hadn't appeared in Sarah's life moreover he hadn't hurried to pay child support Emma decided to wait and see and her life resumed its usual course however life for the Johnson family took an unexpected turn for Rebecca the divorce weighed heavily on her she became irritable and angry Paul temporarily didn't live at home he couldn't forgive his wife's deception the spouse is divorced and the property division began the woman's nerves

gave out and she started drinking as soon as she was noticed in this state at work she was fired from the gym the same day she fell into depression and the home atmosphere worsen daily Christina through tantrums and made scenes and Rebecca did the same James grew tired of hearing these arguments disappearing more often into bars after work returning home only in the morning the Johnson family home had to be sold the cars and accounts were equally divided between the spouses Paul bought a small house outside the city from there it was convenient to drive

to work annoyed by his wife's hysteria James tried to appeal to his father's conscience seeking sympathy and doing everything possible to convince him to buy a bigger house so he and Christina could live with him I'm too old to behave like this Paul replied come visit always happy to see you but please live separately meanwhile Rebecca bought a small apartment in the city center of course there was no room for James or Christina there with the help of Christina's parents the couple also bought an apartment on credit Christina was dissatisfied used to a different lifestyle

but even her parents were tired of their daughter's whims amid all this turmoil everyone completely forgot about their plan James completely changed his mind about visiting and establishing contact with his daughter now facing other problems rebuilding his life and starting a new the child seemed unnecessary he didn't mention her and Christina only through tantrums and vented on her loved ones daily Paul left this family perhaps as the happiest he liked his little house even if it wasn't in the city center in the summer he decided to work in the garden and even installed the sandbox

in the yard inviting Emma and Sarah they visited their grandfather gladly months passed and James still hadn't appeared in Sarah's life Emma decided to strip him of his parental rights his child support debt was accumulating and he didn't want to see his daughter no one understood why he recognized paternity in the first place amid all these events Lily Emma's friend gave birth to a daughter on weekends the young mothers strolled together in the park one weekend Emma received a call from an unknown number she wasn't surprised by the call as she had a part-time job

administering injections and IVs in her neighborhood she had a light touch and word quickly spread about Emma's skill this time a man called asking Emma to administer a course of injections to his father the father refused hospitalization but treatment was necessary Emma gladly accepted the client was an elderly man named Sergio with a difficult character his son Leo was always near knowing his father didn't trust doctors saw conspiracies everywhere and considered all medications poison but Emma wasn't surprised by Sergio's attitude towards doctors at all in her work she had seen worse with charm and persuasion

Emma won over the capricious man who was effusive in his gratitude my father isn't the easiest person he said but he's the only family I have left my wife and mother died in a car accident 7 years AO ago and since then my father's Health has deteriorated I don't know how we survived at all but as long as we're alive I can't neglect his health I completely understand Emma replied the lives of loved ones are the most important after this meeting Emma thought a lot about her grandmother whom she missed so much but decided not

to leave Paul although he could never replace her biological father he became Sarah's grandfather and treated Emma very kindly Paul cut off all communication with his ex-wife Rebecca without work she blamed everyone around her for her misfortunes burst into her son's apartment and cause scenes Christina didn't stay quiet and shouted back at her James head hurt from all the madness and one day he decided to leave abandoning his wife mother and the arguments he quit his job filed for divorce didn't claim the apartment but also didn't want to pay for it anymore he boarded a

train and mov moved to another city returning only occasionally to resolve some paperwork occasionally James called his father an even less frequently his mother left alone Christina also turned to alcohol her condition worsened with psychosis and intrusive thoughts appeared her parents decided to start treating their daughter abroad urgently hospitalizing her James knew nothing about this deciding for himself that he would live alone as he saw all his troubles were caused by women and Emma stripped him of his parental rights but the child support debt continued to accumulate as a result Court officials banned him from

leaving the country for vacation where he had planned to go forcing him to settle the debt Rebecca recovered in time stopped drinking and got a job as a receptionist in a beauty salon she couldn't live at the same level as before but this job allowed her to avoid accumulating endless debts during this time Rebecca reconsidered her behavior and realized she was wrong and had destroyed not just one family but several however her Pride didn't allow her to apologize to Emma she like her son remained completely alone which was also a punishment as even on weekends

she had no one to talk to take a walk with or have a cup of coffee old friends quickly disappeared from her life too A year later Emily also recovered wanting to return to her husband and younger daughter but approaching the house she saw another woman through the window holding a cake with candles Emily had completely forgotten that day was her daughter's birthday intrigued she watched from afar everything happening there her ex-husband noticed came outside and she wanted to run to him apologize but he expelled her threatening to call the police Emily didn't believe it

certain they would take her back because she was the mother but her ex-husband already had another wife who loved her daughter as her own Emily left remaining alone forever just as she had always dreamed however Emma unknowingly was getting closer to Leo they married and to celebrate this important event they invited their close friends including Lily and Alex Paul Sergio and Leo's Aunt Sergio's eldest daughter Ariel and Emma became very close and a month later Ariel who had lived alone because her fate hadn't been kind moved to Paul's house their family grew even larger and
