NovelOnlineAs thick, luscious locks of black hair cascaded down Emmett’s back, he removed his fake mustache
and brows to reveal his, or more correctly, her bare, beautiful face. Everyone else in the hall stared at
Emmett, or Emmeline, with their mouths agape.
After a long moment, Adam was the first to jump up from his seat and speak. “Emmeline!”
Adrien rolled his eyes. I tried to tell them, but no one listened to me… This was exactly what I was
telling them… he thought to himself.
The journalists that came along with Emmeline entered the hall with their camera and video equipment,
broadcasting the entire scene live on social media. The rumors of Abel Ryker turning gay were instantly
shattered there and then. Abel had just been roleplaying with his own wife all along.
“How… How is this possible?” Evelyn said as she crumbled onto the floor dejectedly.
“Em… Emmeline?” Abel too was recovering from shock. “How is it you?”
“Abel…” Emmeline said nervously as she stood in front of him. “Are you… upset with me?”
“Explain it to me. How is it you?” Abel repeated himself, this time with more sense of urgency in his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtvoice.
“I… I…” Emmeline stammered, looking at Abel with big, brown eyes. “I was afraid you wouldn’t accept
me, so I…”
“… Come with me!” Abel pulled her by the elbow across the hall toward the door.
“Hey, where are you taking me?” Emmeline squealed as she tried to break free from his hold.
“Follow me back to The Precipice!” Abel said as he escorted her into his Rolls-Royce.
“Honey, is there… something wrong with my eyes? Was that Emmeline for real?” Rosaline gasped.
“It is her, darling,” Lewis said emotionally. “It’s Emmeline! The four munchkins have their mother back!
No one will dare to insult Abel and call him a homosexual any longer, since Emmett was actually
Emmeline all this while!”
“We’ve wrongly blamed him!” Rosaline began to tear.
“Who was the evil-hearted person who started the rumor?” Lewis said angrily.
“That’s right, and that includes all the other people who insisted that the rumor was true,” Rosaline
added while side-eyeing Julianna.
Julianna could not believe how everything had played out. How was Abel Ryker’s family so lucky all the
time? Today was supposed to be the day the old man kicked Abel out of the family, but the tables have
turned yet again. The most shocking part was the fact that Emmett had been Emmeline all along!
“There’s nothing left for us to discuss now, I suppose. We’ll be taking our leave now,” Lewis declared
loudly for all to hear before taking Rosaline by the hand and walking out the front door.
Back at The Precipice, Abel was about to drag Emmeline upstairs when they bumped into Kendra by
the stairs. Kendra gasped in shock when she saw that the person that Abel brought back was
Emmeline dressed in Emmett’s clothes. “Oh, my goodness, it’s you, Ms. Louise! You’ve returned!” she
exclaimed.
“Hello, Kendra!” Emmeline tried her best to wave at Kendra while still being manhandled by Abel.
“How have you been, Ms. Louise? I’ve missed you so much!” Kendra said as she tried to extend an
arm out to Emmeline, but Abel got in the way by cocooning Emmeline with a hug.
“I’ll catch up with you later, Kendra!” Emmeline’s muffled voice called out.
“Alrighty then!” Kendra played along.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAbel practically carried Emmeline into the bedroom and flung her onto the king-sized bed before
walking over to the door and locking it.
Kendra had a million questions running through her head as she looked at the bedroom door from the
bottom of the stairs. So, Emmett was Emmeline all along! How did she manage to trick Abel for so
many days?! Kendra wondered.
“Tell me, why did you lie to me?!” Abel demanded angrily as he pressed his palms next to Emmeline’s
head, not giving her an easy escape.
“Hey, Abel, hubby, darling…” Emmeline said coyly as she struggled to scoot further away from Abel. “I’ll
confess everything, but please stop looking at me with those angry eyes. I’m scared…”
“You’re scared? Then you should know that I despise people lying to me!” Abel’s voice was cold and
stern.
“I didn’t lie to you on purpose!” Emmeline did a small wave with her hands. “I had no other choice…”
“You’re still trying to deny it? Why did you have to go to such lengths?” Abel asked.
“Well…” Emmeline frowned. “You didn’t even want to see me, so I had to come up with this plan…”
“I didn’t want to see you?” Abel thought about what Emmeline said for a moment before nodding curtly.
“That’s true, I suppose.”
