Emily, The Mute Girl
Want to Die Only

Byleaf Royal Restaurant is one of the famous restaurants located near the cinema. This restaurant is famous for its super expensive food, so only people from the upper class can go there.

They were all sitting around one of the tables in the restaurant, with Jeremy looking sharply at Emily and her siblings.

He was upset that he had to wait for Emily who was still talking to others. I don't know what the hell is talking about. Especially when he asked Fernando, the boy just shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

However, his frustration had to be withstood as Clarissa beside him continued to act spoiled towards him.

While Aunt Agnes always steals the opportunity to whisper to Emily to always be careful to Clarissa.

Emily sighed, how could Jeremy forget the deal they made, which might not have dried up at the moment. Even though they did not love each other, it still hurt her heart to see the person who married her for a year that was more concerned with other girls.

He should give up before his heart gets hurt. Yep.. Farewell was probably the best for him.

Jeremy looked at Clarissa who was asleep in her bed. For some reason with this girl, suddenly he said he wanted to sleep with Jeremy for fear of sleeping alone in his room. As a result, before going to bed, Jeremy gave him juice that had been mixed with sleeping pills.

Clarissa Eden, daughter of Jordan Eden. If only Jordan had known that his only daughter was in love with a married man, and that man just wanted to use her, Jordan would have killed the man.

Unfortunately, Jeremy had already secretly killed the man. And fortunately, beautiful girls like Clarissa were raised with indulgence, but were not taught about the rigors of the world, making this girl grow into a girl who is easily conquered and utilized just because of being given attention and charming words. Thinking about it, an evil grin appeared on Jeremy's face.

Once again, he looked at Clarissa's slumbering face, then moved out. Jeremy doesn't want to sleep in bed with the girl.

However, as he exits, he sees Emily's lights in Emily's room still on. And for some reason, it was able to disturb him and without realizing it, he walked there.

Geck!Geck!Geck!

Emily, hearing the door of her room in the corner, rushed to open it and was surprised to find Jeremy there.

"You haven't slept?" ask Jeremy. Damnit damnit! Why am I here? And what question is that? jeremy grumbled in his heart.

Emily moved her hand, but Jeremy frowned not understanding. Emily finally pulls Jeremy's hand in. The man did not refuse, instead he felt his hand in Emily's hand was warm.

Emily then told Jeremy to sit on the sofa in her room, then let go of the handle. For a moment, Jeremy felt lost, but soon he brushed off the feeling.

Emily then took out a paper and pen, then sat down next to Jeremy and wrote something. When he finished, he showed it to Jeremy.

'I can't sleep. So I decided to check the financial statements.' he wrote.

Jeremy cringing.

"Financial reports?" reworked.

Jeremy, although not wanted at all, but in his good name, he always gave monthly money to his wife.

Emily nodded. Then show some files to Jeremy.

Seeing that, Jeremy was even more confused. He knew very well the amount of money he had sent to his mute wife. Why is the number in the report bigger? Where did the money come from?

Jeremy squinted his eyes suspiciously, then pointed at Emily and wrote again.

'I set up a rental fee that was a bit cheaper than the others. So many people rented there. And that brings us profit.

Actually, I wanted to tell you, but ever since you came, you've been avoiding me. And since we've agreed to the deal, I decided to check it out again, so that tomorrow I can give it to Clarissa. Anyway, she's gonna be your wife one day, so she needs to know about this."

Reading this long piece of writing, made Jeremy lose his words. He never thought Emily would do this when she wasn't around.

Jeremy thinks this mute girl can only eat sleep and spend her money. Jeremy recalled Aunt Liana's words, that Emily is much better and more powerful than she looks.

"Sleep. It's getting late. Tomorrow we just continue." said Jeremy.

'I can't sleep' Emily wrote.

"Why?"

'Today I did nothing to make me tired. It makes it hard to sleep.'

"You mean, you can't sleep if you're not really tired?” ask Jeremy. What kind of reason is that? he thought when he saw Emily nod.

"Lying quietly in bed while closing your eyes can also make you sleep slowly" he continued.

But Emily nodded. Then write,

'If I'm not really tired, then lie down for a long time, my mind will be empty, and I will start thinking strange things.'

"Example?" ask Jeremy curiously.

'For example, what if I just die? What if I jump off that balcony? Hasn't no one liked me in the past?' she wrote with a grim face.

'What the...' Jeremy was really surprised until he widened his eyes. He looked at Emily in disbelief. He squinted his eyes.

This girl, is telling the truth or just looking for his attention?

"If you really want to die, why didn't you let me kill you in the first place? I can grant your wish now." said Jeremy Sharp.

Emily smiled and looked at him calmly. Then back to writing,

'Unfortunately, I can't die now. At least before God himself wants me dead.'

"Why not now?" ask Jeremy.

'No one ever said to me, I have to live as long as I am given a chance to live. The guy said, I should appreciate life more.'

Jeremy gasps. He felt like he had said those words to someone. But who would say such a thing to his wife?

"Who gave you such advice?"

'Entake. I don't remember the looks of it. Only those words always ring when my desire to die appears, ' wrote Emily, then daydream.

Jeremy who saw Emily speechless, did not ask again, he immediately came out of Emily's room without saying anything. Let Emily get busy with her thoughts.
