Emily hears Nolan calling her out of her deep slumber. She sits up and realizes she is on her porch swing. She looks to see she is in her jeans from yesterday and white t shirt that clearly didn't belong to her. She hears Nolan sigh and shake his head. The concern for Emily is written all over his face while confusion is once again displayed on hers.
"It happened again, didn't it Emily? What can you remember this time?"
"I remember being at the Stowaway meeting with Stevie and telling her I want to divorce Daniel. I almost revealed that my marriage is a sham being that I have such a change of heart that I all of a sudden want to a rush a divorce"
"Ems, that was yesterday. And it seems like blackout Emily wants to tell the truth. Which is dangerous when you're housemates with the enemy"
As Nolan continues to talk to her the headache comes back and her surroundings start to blur again. Emily forces herself to concentrate and keep her eyes open. She blinks and next thing she knows she is hearing a crowd sing happy birthday.
She looks down and sees she is in a party dress and in front of her is Charlotte blowing out the candles on her 7 layer birthday cake. All around her are party guests and not too far from her was Victoria, Daniel, and Conrad.
Emily walks away and calls Nolan, unfortunately she only got his voicemail. So she decides to leave a message asking him to call her immediately.
As she walks further into the party, she sees Victoria. Time to put back up the sweet façade while also taking a few jabs at Victoria she thought to herself.
"Daniel threw Charlotte a wonderful birthday party. I can't believe she is 19 now, she is growing up so fast".
Victoria grins "Yes, birthdays are a wonderful celebration. To a mother it is a reminder of the miracle God bestowed upon her. And each year as her child grows, she is once again brought back to the first day she was given the gift of having a child and bonding with them. Unfortunately for you, that may be an experience you will never get. If you so happen to lose that baby, it will be your last chance. Even if the child makes it and turns out to be Daniel's be sure that you will never see it once you give birth".
Hatred fills in Emily and her smile drops. She gives Victoria a pointed look.
"It makes me wonder who are your parents, what happened to them, why were they cursed with you, and why do you still exist?" Victoria smiled knowing she struck a nerve and walked away.
Behind them, Daniel stands taking a drink while overhearing their conversation. He sees the anger and sadness flash on her face. But it left quickly once she sees Charlotte and Conrad. He overhears Emily's excitement when she congratulates Charlotte for the internship. "Emily that's exactly what you said half an hour ago when the party just started" He sees Emily's smile drop again and confusion sweeps her face "Oh right, it's just sounds so great every time I hear it". Charlotte walks away and to keep from anyone overhearing them so does Conrad and Emily.
Daniel furrows his eyebrows wondering what is going on with his estranged wife. When he woke up this morning he saw Emily's top on his bedroom floor. This brought back flashes of what happened last night. She was more like the old Emily, the one he could stand. But something was different, she was a bit more aggressive this time and desperate. He didn't understand why she slept with him last night if she didn't love him. But more importantly why did he? All Daniel could do was blame it on the alcohol and get ready for setting up for Charlotte's party.
"Well my dear, I would like to give you credit for calling my ex last night"
Emily still trying to understand what she had cooked up tried to be vague and intriguing for Conrad to explain the plan. "Have you heard from Stevie, I would like to know her response to the plan"
"Well she remains optimistic. But Emily, I just want you to know if for any reason you ever feel threatened by my son, don't hesitate to call. The suite at the South Fork Inn will always be open to you in your time of need. It can be a safe haven for you if need be".
Emily smiled again hesitantly "I will be okay Conrad, but thanks for your help"
Conrad nodded "No problem my dear" and walked away.
Emily checked her phone to look for any messages and updates from Nolan.
Across the room stood Daniel at the bar, babysitting a glass of whiskey while staring at Emily. He heard someone walk up to him to see it was his former partner Margaux. He rolled his eyes and moved to walk away from her but she grabbed his arm.
"Please Daniel, listen to me. I did not want to get rid of you, but your father forced me to. I'm doing everything to save Vouleez for both of us. I want to know how our fathers are related"
Daniel took a gulp of his drink and shrugged "Years ago they had business relations due to your dad's investments in my family's company. But they haven't really had much contact since then"
"Well why are they in contact now"
Once again Daniel shrugged "I don't know. My dad is in cahoots with a lot of people now. There is one I am currently trying to figure out. If you will excuse me" Daniel walked away from the bar to try and follow after Emily. Unfortunately for him, Emily made a quick exit and he was unable to catch up to her.
Nolan's House
Emily watched the video of her going off on Nolan and saying horrible insults to him. She shook her head in shame unable to believe that she would say such things to her best friend.
"I'm sorry for saying those things Nolan"
"I am fine, but you obviously are not. You are running blind on this mission due to these blackouts. I wish we could put everything on pause and I can keep you locked in a safe house until things get back to normal. I do have a guest room free now that double o seven is leaving. He packs horribly though. I can't believe he left all the stuff here"
Emily sees a purple material in the box and picks it up realizing what it is. "This goes with Takeda's sword; I was the only one who had it. How did it get mixed up in Aiden's things?
"Ems I think blackout Ems planted it in his room in the hopes that Niko would find it"
Agreeing with Nolan, "I got to go" and she rushed out his house. Nolan sighed and prayed that his friend stays safe.
Takeda's rental home
Emily walks into the house to see candles everywhere and Aiden tied up to a chair. She carefully walks towards him and checks to see if he is okay. He is unconscious but still breathing well.
"I knew you wouldn't be able to resist" She heard a voice state. Emily looked up to see Niko holding Takeda's sword.
"I can't believe my father boasted so much about you. Picking a failure over me, an unfocused student that you are. It's a shame how out of touch and practice you are and amazing how both of us were his students" Niko stated menacingly.
"Yes but I was top of the class" Emily retorted. Niko swung the Katana at Emily but due to quick reflexes Emily dodge it. Niko moves it again towards Emily but got rewarded with a hit on her side. Niko head-butts Emily and kicks her in her thigh. Niko tries once again to aim the sword towards Emily this time by her abdomen knowing it might kill two people at the same time. But her revenge was blinding her and all she wanted was to get back at those her were responsible or her father's death.
Emily jumped back and quickly kicked Niko in her stomach knocking the woman down. Niko accidentally drops her weapon in surprise/ Emily grabbed the katana and aimed it towards Niko. Unbeknownst to the two warriors Aiden was quickly untying his bonds.
"That's it" Aiden yells. "Emily ease off of her, she doesn't deserve this. She is just mad"
Emily backed away slowly while Niko stood up. "Aiden I loved you, and you stabbed me and my father in the back. How could you do this?" The hurt and anger evident on Niko's face.
"You have it all wrong. Your father's ways were dangerous. He was just making assassins for his own needs. He did not do anything for justice. He betrayed all of us. Please don't follow down his dark path. Just go and I hope one day in your heart you will find a way to forgive"
Niko looked at the two and walked away.
"Thank you for saving me, but at the same time you caused all of this for planting the sword Emily. Please explain why did you do it, why do you hate me?"
"I don't know why I did it. But one thing for sure is I don't hate you. I haven't been myself. I get blackouts and do this weird things and I can't remember half of the day. Maybe it was my subconscious trying to push you away and hoping you would get out of town and away from me. I put everyone I care about in danger even when I don't mean too. And I figured it was best if you got away from me that way you can move on. I can't give you the love and family you deserve".
"Well for what it is worth Emily, I think you pretty much implied this once you gained back your memory, you are obviously conflicted about your feelings for whatever reasons. I suggest you seek help, now, before you put more lives you care about in danger" Aiden said look at Emily's abdomen and then walks away.
Emily cursed at herself; she put her child in danger today. She needs to do something quick before she loses the one thing she has to hold onto. Her only hope at happiness.
Grayson Mansion
Daniel sat in his office back at it again with the liquor. Charlotte walks in thanking her brother for a party. She senses something is off with him and asks him what's wrong.
"Char, I think Emily is out for me. She is in cahoots with dad. A private investigator told me that they were spotted taking at the South Fork in for quite a while"
"Why would she trust him when his mistress almost killed her".
Making sure he doesn't reveal himself Daniel simply says "I have no clue, but I will find out. I just need your help. Vouleez is now under Dad's control. Now that you work there you can find out whatever he has planned. Remember Charlotte, it's us against the world". Charlotte hesitantly nodded.
The next morning
Nolan and Emily sat in the kitchen. He asked her what the diagnosis from the doctor is. Unfortunately, the doctor still didn't have any real answers. All tests show up negative and Emily seems to be okay.
Weary of what he is about to say next, Nolan beats around the bush, till Emily just tells him to say what's on his mind.
"I'm sorry but what if this is what happened to your mother. Didn't she have her first episode around this age?"
Emily felt her heart drop "Yeah, when she tried to drown me. They tried everything to help my mom, but it clearly didn't work. Why would it be different for me?" Emily just felt like giving up. If her child makes it, they will be subjected to a lunatic for a mother, how fair is that?
"Emily don't give up hope, it will be okay. You have plenty people who will help"
"Nolan look what I've done. I tried to set up Aiden, I lashed out at you. What next, I am going after the people I love more than the enemy. How can I bring a child into this world knowing she might live the same fate as me" Tears started streaming down her face. Nolan pulled her in for a hug to try and comfort her, wishing there was more he can do to aid her.
