EMMA'S POV
"Um...If i may ask, where are you headed with my son, that car key, the suitcase, clothes and guitar?" I thought he had already left
With creased brows and a raised shoulder, my confusion was visible
"Those are my belongings, I bought them with my hard EARNED money" he clarified and I stared at the floor with tomato reds cheeks
I was embarrassed and annoyed at the same time, so I dropped the stuff on the floor and made my way out
Now it was his turn to stand at the front of the door, blocking my way
"You haven't dropped my son" he said
Oh Lord help me control my anger, I might end up in jail if things weren't taken carefully
"What do you mean? He is my son, and I have the right to take him along with me" I challenged
"Well, if you go with him, how do you intend to fend for him? I mean, can you even take proper care of yourself?" Those words were like an arrow shot at me, and of course, it hit the right spot, I was pained, but his words were true
"I can't have my son live in the streets with a loser like you, he is a Russo, and it would be a dishonor to our family.....also, I can't have my blood growing up to be some tout or gangster. You're going nowhere with him" This time, I was already crying profusely
Ray seemed to be enjoying it, it still baffled me how someone could just change overnight
From a very caring and loving husband to this person whom I don't even know, to this monster who has having the time of his life seeing me hurt
His statements made me feel a sudden urge to be successful, not just that, I wanted him to see that I had a lot of potentials in me
I wanted him to pay for every drop of tears he made she shed
I wanted to take custody of my son and be able to give him the best he could ever get
I wanted to be successful so badly, Ray was going to eat every bad, mocking and hurtful words he said to me
I was going to make him beg me for mercy
I was going to.....
"Hello, you mind handing him over to me and leaving? You don't want to miss the train, do you?" His voice pulled me out of my angry thoughts and I sniffled
I wiped the tears out of my face, but more came rushing out
I took one last look at my son, and walked out of the door
He cried, he screamed, and I felt bad and sorry for him, he was only three years old
He didn't have to go through such a thing, but it was beyond my power
The thought of staying back, for the sake of him passed through my mind, but I couldn't
I had to leave, I needed to give myself a life
*************
I got to the subway, but the train had already left. I had to take a cab to where in particular? I had no idea
There was nowhere I could go, my mom and dad lived in Canada, I had no aunts or uncles, which meant I had no cousins, both my parents where the only children of their own parents and so was I
The only friend and best friend I had, was a betrayer
I still hailed a cab, I could use a hotel for a night before figuring what to do with my new life
Besides it was cloudy and there was a possibility of a heavy downpour
"Ma'am, your card declined" sorry what? I didn't hear that right
"Um...maybe there is some technical issues, or network error, I have enough money to pay" I responded then asked that he tried again
"Still declined" The man said, that was the fifth time he had tried
I looked up and caught him smirking at me through the rear view mirror
"Look, i'm really really sorry, I had enough money in my account, I could make a...." I paused
I couldn't make a call to anyone, I literally had no one
I dipped my hand into my pocket to pick my cell phone
I planned on scrolling through my contacts, there might be someone who could help
After searching, I discovered that I had left my cell phone on the couch at Ray's home
I also had no cash on me, as a matter of fact, i had nothing on me, except for my credit card which was miraculously lying in my pocket
I think it must have been blocked by Ray, now I know he meant it when he said I was leaving with nothing that belonged to him
I wiped the stray tear that ran down my cheeks
"You know....you don't have to cry sexy lady" what? Sexy lady? Lord help me
"If you don't have the money to pay for your ride, its okay" he said and I sighed inwardly, it wasn't what I thought
I kind of began to feel guilty for misjudging him
"Really? Thanks so much, you see it wasn't my fault, I think my ex husband blocked my account" yeah it would be easy since he had my cell phone
But then again, I think I spilled too much, I shouldn't have mentioned Ray
"Oh! So unfortunate for a man to lose someone as pretty and sexy as you" he said and I smiled frantically
Again, I couldn't trust that smirk
"You know what you could pay me with?" He asked and immediately, I tried to open the door, but it was locked
"Don't try to run away, I won't take your time, it's just for a few minutes, and you look stressed, so consider it a gift" what? No, Ray was the cause of this, and I hated him with everything i've got
If i got r**ed today, I would never forgive him (Ray)
"Don't you dare touch me" I said in a shaky voice
The perverted guy was already at the back, making his way towards me, while I moved backwards till there was no longer room for movement
When he trailed his hand on my face, I kicked him, but didn't meet my target, so Mr Pervert didn't bulge
I began hitting on the window while screaming, luckily, a black flashy car pulled by, some men in black came out of it
I guess they saw my face of fear and agony
"b***h!" The man cursed and within seconds, the car was already moving at a full speed, I looked back and my messiahs were chasing after him, and so were the cops
We got to a T junction, but this insane cab man didn't care to stop
I screamed at the top of my voice as he ran into another car, then I blacked out
