Gwen's hood

Emma sighed as she closed the door of her room, she so wanted to yell 'Inner peace!' do not get her wrong staying and talking to the maids and uncle Wang is and will always be the best thing for her, but if theirs another word other than 'best' then that's what she always feel whenever she pick up her phone to read.

She lay on top of her bed and opened her phone, as she was scrolling through her phone to know which novel to re-read a call interrupted her. She so wanted to decline the call, but since it was from work she frowned as she picked it up.

''Uhmm, miss Emma are you busy?'' the director asked while shivering from fear. After a long time of waiting for her response without getting it, he hurriedly said, ''I am so so sorry for interrupting you, it is just that the main lead died today and i needed you to know.''

''Troublesome.''

''Yes, yes, it is so troublesome and i promise to do something about it.'' Without waiting for any second, Emma cut the call and sighed. She tried recalling the face of the lead, but couldn't. She sighed again and picked up her phone and started scrolling. Suddenly she stopped and smiled when she saw the title of her favourite novel.

''GWEN'S HOOD.''

The title of the novel doesn't sound interesting or anything, so at first she scrolled through it, but when she decided to read it, she didn't stop when she started and for a day she finished a hundred chapters. She opened the novel again and started reading.

Gwen's hood is a novel based in the 19th century in England. It tells the story of a very poor orphan that saved a young baron that lost his wife and child on the same day, the baron took a liking to the little girl and adopted her.

Although she suddenly became rich over-night, the young girl whose name was Gwen started helping out in her father's business. She planned lots and lots of events that could help promote her father's business. On the day she was supposed to debut as a fifteen-year-old maiden, the emperor saw her and immediately fell in love with her.

Because of the rumor that an unknown person had started, Gwen was scared of falling in love with the king and every day the king tried to invite her over to his palace. She always declines. This became a habit of hers which made the king's possessiveness crowd his thinking.

Whenever she is seen with another man, the next day, the man will end up losing his legs, arms or, even worse, his life. When being asked, the emperor could smile in an evil way while saying, ''You are mine to hold and love and no one else.''

This sentence made Gwen keep her distance, but even though the flesh may deceive the heart doesn't, Gwen always knew that her heart always seeks the young emperor. On the day the baron suddenly fell sick and died, Gwen tried investigating and she found out that the eldest daughter of the grand duke's family killed her adopted father out of jealousy because she was in love with the king.

''Crazy bitch.'' Emma spoke out loud, ''It wasn't love, it was just her stupid obsession.'' she rolled her eyes and wanted to continue reading, but a voice interrupted her, ''Now when did we started cursing in this house?'' she became startled and slowly she turned her head towards the direction of her door, ''The f**k is wrong with you?'' she yelled as soon as she recognize the figure leaning on her door.

The figure chuckled and walked towards her, ''You cursed again.'' he looked at her with a smile on her face, ''Why? were you scared?'' he lay beside her not minding her angry face. In fact, he found it amusing.

''Make some noise whenever you walk inside my room, Jesus!'' she yelled at him.

''What? I did not want to interrupt you while you were reading, you looked so beautiful while reading and i almost fell.'' he looked at her with piercing eyes. Emma, who was used to his way of speaking, made a gag sound, ''Eww, is that the line you always use on your girl friends?'' Yes girlfriends, although Emma has never seen any of his girlfriends, she sure knows that her brother dates a lot and also breaks their hearts.

Jason chuckled and stood up, he extended his hands towards her and held her up, ''Come, your fiance is down stairs waiting for you, it has been two hours now.'' he gave her a mocking gaze.

Emma rolled her eyes, she tied her hair into a messy bun and walked towards her closet to put on clean clothes. She needed to make a good impression on her fiance, right?

MEANWHILE .

Elijah sat down on the black leather with a frown on his face, he had been down there for two hours waiting for his so-called fiancee just so he could proceed with his plans, as he was thinking of how humiliated he felt while waiting for someone he did not even love, his eyes trailed till it landed on a young girl dressed in a white gown with her long brown hair tied up in a ponytail, looking like an angel.

He smiled and stood up, ''Emily.'' he greeted her, still smiling like a fool. Butler Wang saw him and rolled his eyes. He knew that his young-miss-fiance did not like her a bit, but he preferred her twin sister Emily, because he thought that she was the one that saved him, but since Emma didn't try to explain anything, then he would keep quiet.

Elijah's smile grew deeper as he looked at the young beautiful gentle girl in front of him. The only thing he ever needed was to marry her and make her his wife, but he had no choice but to marry her twin sister because of a stupid arrangement between the elders, and because of her heart disease, his mother rejected the idea of having a daughter in law that could die any moment, as he was thinking of this he heard someone sobbing beside him, he turned and saw his beloved woman sobbing.

''You should forgive my sister for not coming on time to greet you. She has just returned and is resting. I know you don't love my sister, but i beg you to treat her well. If only my heart disease isn't critical, then i can accompany you for the rest of my life.'' She bent her head while pretending to cry.

As Elijah was about to hold her in his arms, he heard a mocking voice coming towards the direction of the stairs, ''Look like my Fiance and my sister are busy.''

Elijah's hand froze mid-air, he turned and met with the piercing eyes of Jason who was beside his fiancee, he cleared his throat and walked towards Emma, ''I came to take you on a date.''

Emma looked at him and shrugged, ''Okay let's go.'' she walked past him with her hands in her back pockets. Elijah looked at her with his mouth open, 'Was she going to wear that on their date?' he asked himself.

Although what she was putting on doesn't make her look ugly, but going on a date does not mean someone would just put on a pink oversized sweater and a baggy trouser with her hair tied in a messy bun, the colour of her clothes doesn't even matched, Who on earth wears a pink oversized sweater with a a purple baggy trouser? he looked at his beloved face and sighed, 'Emily will always be the most sensible.' he thought as he chased after Emma who was already outside.

Jason looked at Emily and sighed, ''Go up to your room.'' he turned and walked away, leaving her alone. She clenched her fist with tears in her eyes before going up, ''Big bother doesn't love me, he has never even come inside my room.'' she muttered and slammed her door shut.
