Chapter 56


    56 Unspoken Harmonies


    Maxwell had crafted two new songs for his uing concert, dedicated to Emma’s freedom from her


    tumultuous marriage. When Tom reviewed the lyrics, he expressed concern.


    “These songs celebrate Emma’s divorce, but the lyrics are quite direct. Referring to her ex–husband as


    a ‘beast‘ seems excessive, don’t you think?” Tom questioned cautiously.


    Maxwell, unfazed, replied firmly, “I’m making a point. If you’re on my side, don’t question it. These


    songs are meant to make a statement. Keep your doubts to yourself.”


    Tom knew arguing with Maxwell was futile. Maxwell’s determination often bordered on


    stubbornness, and the controversial lyrics worried him.


    “What’s your n for the music? Are you going topose it yourself or involve someone else?”


    Maxwell revealed, “I want Emma topose the music. Her previouspositions were impressive,


    so she’s the right choice for these. Any problem with that?”


    Tom was taken aback. Having Emmapose music for songs with such pointed lyrics seemed like an


    unnecessarily harsh approach.


    Two dayster, Emma called Tom, perplexed by the lyrics.


    “Are you sure Maxwell doesn’t want to change these lyrics? They’re quite bold considering our past,”


    Emma said, struggling to reconcile the idea ofposing music for such content.


    Tom, uneasy about the lyrics‘ implications, replied, “If you can convince Maxwell to reconsider, I’d


    appreciate it. He won’t listen to me. It might be besting from you.


    Emma sighed, recognizing the challenge but ultimately deciding to proceed with thepositions. If it


    helped Maxwell release his pent–up anger and move forward, she was willing to contribute.


    Theposing process was swift, with Emma dedicating two days to perfect the melodies,


    Jada found humor in the situation, “I can’t believe Maxwell has you doing this! It’s quite the twist, isn’t


    it?”


    Bonnie, unaware of the lyrics‘ details, expected the concert to be anything but ordinary, knowing


    Maxwell’s penchant for the dramatic.


    “Have you considered talking him out of it?” Jada prodded.


    “If I thought it would help, I would,” Emma replied, “but honestly, the lyrics aren’t far from the truth.


    The conversation soon turned to an uing party hosted by Vi and Desmond, two of Emma’s


    childhood friends. Vi and Desmond, twins, had left abruptly years ago, and their return was creating


    a buzz.

    Jada was excited about their return, “They left without saying goodbye, and now they’reing back.

    When do they arrive? We should meet them at the airport!”


    Desmond, in particr, had harbored secret feelings for Emma, and his decision to study abroad was


    partly an attempt to distance himself from his unrequited love. Now, with Emma’s divorce, Desmond


    might see a new opportunity.


    Jada yfully hinted at Desmond’s past crush, which Emma quickly brushed off, not wanting to


    With her businessmitments and the responsibility of her family’s legacy, Emma knew romance was


    a luxury she couldn’t afford. Jada and Bonnie acknowledged this, understanding that for Emma,


    stability was paramount.
