Layla on the other hand was already exhausted from constant crying and torture and pleaded with Damian to help save Justin.“I can't believe you’d plead on his behalf, after everything he put you through,” Damian said, slightly annoyed as they stood aside and watched the cops guide Paula into a black van from the car she was in earlier.“Layla was too exhausted to speak but since she had jumped down before Ava shot him, she was still oblivious to the fact that he was shot. Here she was, pleading with Damian to spare Justin’s life again.“He saved my life, Damian.” She muttered am

Meanwhile, as soon as both Justin and Layla heard her voice downstairs, Justin collected the phone quickly tied Layla’s hand, and put her back in the position Ava had left her, pretending as though nothing happened. The next thing they heard was Ava’s voice, she barged into the room, filled with rage but somehow felt a bit relaxed when she saw Layla still in the same position she had left her, “What happened downstairs Justin, did someone break into the house?” she asked, but this time, her voice was a little bit relaxed. Pretending not to know what she was talking about, Justin replied, looking as though he was just as confused as her, ‘What are you talking about, what is going on where?” Frustrated, Ava said, “Help me untie her.” Both Justin and Layla looked surprised. They didn’t know what Ava was up to and also, they hoped that

Chapter: Chapter Eighty-Two- Cassandra Grey!“ I am sure you are not deaf, I said WHO THE F**K ARE YOU?” Kelvin yelled for the second time but that did not make Paula respond to him either.Damian was still trying to process the whole situation in his mind. Or, was he just assuming? No, Paula watched him grow and she has always treated him like her own son, and he in return, cared for her like his mom. Trust was an understatement to what Damian has for Paula.“Nanny P, that’s what I used to call you remember? I called you by that name because If truly you are the woman who looked after me since I was born till this stage, I want you to look at this boy whom you raised all by yourself and tell me what the f**k is going on here?” Damian said with a cracky voice and Kelvin felt so sorry for him. The last time Damian was this emotional was when he found out about Ava and Justin, since then, he has always tried to maintain his steeze, regardless of the situation.However, Paula still did not say a word, rather she stood there, her

Chapter: Chapter Eighty-One- Who Are You?“Mr. Wilson, Kelvin’s here,” Paula called, alerting Damian upon Kelvin’s arrival.“Tell him I’m busy and I won’t be attending to anyone,” Damian replied coldly, it’s been twenty-four hours since Layla’s abduction, and Damian has not stepped out of his room nor uttered a word to anyone. Paula has begged him severally to at least drink something but Damian refused and even threatened to take her job away from her if she disturbs him again so Paula gave up.Paula headed back to the sitting room where Kelvin was waiting for Damian, “Kelvin, I’m sorry but he won’t see you and might not be coming downstairs either. Maybe you can check up on him tomorrow, or some other time.” Paula said, dismissing Kelvin. But the fellow refused to leave,“ it’s alright then, I will wait. Besides, it's not like I have anything to do at the moment. If it is going to take Damian a whole week before he comes down here to have a word with me, fine, I will wait.” Kelvin said and made himself more comfortable on t

Chapter: Chapter 22ELSIE’S POV“Mr. Please can you drive a little bit faster?” I said to the driver that was driving Ethan and I back home from our little getaway.My heart was racing fast, faster than the vehicle. Lily did not spare me the complete details about what happened, she only asked that I return home as soon as possible.“Can you at least tell me what's going on?” Ethan asked for the fourth time since we left the resort and again I kept mute and only stared back at him with fear in my eyes.Seeing that I was in no mood to say anything to him, he moved closer to me and soothed my hands using his. I know all he wanted to do was calm me down, I appreciate his efforts but no matter how hard I tried to calm myself, I just couldn’t.I hopped out of the car immediately it pulled up in front of the building. And as I hurriedly ran inside the house, I almost fell to the ground.“Where is she, Lily?” I asked Lily immediately and I approached her.“she was rushed to the hospital, and your dad is with h

Chapter: Chapter 21ETHAN’S POVGoing to bed and waking up next to Elsie has always been something I envisioned since the first day I set my eyes on her. As I watched her sleep so peacefully I could not help but fall deeply in love with her. Truly, she looked like an angel.Images of last night flashed through my mind and I could not help but remember my first night with Irene. It was almost the same thing, the same feeling. “come off it Ethan, you shouldn’t be thinking about her. You have Elsie and that is all that matters” I thought and said to myself before calling the kitchen through the intercom, I wanted breakfast to be ready before Elsie woke up.“how long will it take before the food gets here?” I asked the lady on the intercom.“Since you placed multiple orders, it will take twenty minutes sir,” she responded politely and cut the call.“Who was that?” I heard Elsie’s sweet and angelic voice.“the restaurant. I ordered breakfast for us.” I replied softly and planted a kiss on her forehead. She wa

Chapter: Chapter 20ELSIE’S POV“Do you mean what you said to me, last night?” I replied to Ethan’s question with another.Yes, I know he likes me, I mean his actions say it all but love? To like someone is one thing and to love is another. I just wanted to be careful so we don’t ruin the beautiful relationship we have built.“With everything that has life in me,” he replied and I could feel the butterflies in my belly tickle out of excitement.My heart racing faster than usual and the strong urge and desire to kiss his cute lips was evident in my eyes. As I stared directly into his eyes, I could see the same in his eyes.Within a twinkle of an eye, I could feel his soft lips on mine and his tongue caressing mine. His soft palms ran through my sexy and exposed thighs. I wanted one thing now, to experience more of this day with this man.“there’s something you need to know. Ethan” I said, suddenly breaking free from his grip and pausing our magical kiss.However, I thought this was the best time to tell h

Chapter: Chapter 19ETHAN’S POVI was surprised when I got a text from Irene, clearly stating that I should forget about the money she asked for. It was a huge relief for me but then, “why the sudden change of mind?” I thought and asked myself. However, it’s a good thing that she had a thorough rethink about it and has finally decided to make good use of her senses.I was busy working on some files when Elsie walked into my office, all smiley as usual. But there was something different about her today, her smile and even the way she looked today. She carried this perfect glow that can make a man turn and want to stare again.And her perfect skin, ‘gosh’ so flawless and delicate. I instantly remembered how I kissed her last night, how I wanted more than a kiss so badly but never got it. Despite the whole trouble with Irene, I wanted Elsie so much, maybe that was the escape I needed from my reality at that moment. I loved how she calmed my demons and drove me crazy in her special way.“heyHave you had la

Chapter: Chapter 18ELSIE’S POV“You see that stupid happiness you think you have found, you just enjoy it while it lasts. Just wait till he finds out the truth about you.”Emilia’s message read. For a moment, my heart beat so face that I could feel my hands shaky and my mind panicked. But immediately I remembered that two can also play the game, and I felt at ease.I took this as a clue to pay Emilia and her little witch a visit. I think I have given them enough time to enjoy what is rightfully mine, it's high time I take it back.“Since this is how you want it, I guess two can play the game,” I said and smiled. However, I retired to bed, thinking about the long day I have ahead of me tomorrow.I sent Ethan a text, telling him I would be reporting late to the office and his reply made me more confident because I was not ready to tell him I was once related to his ex-wife.Dressed in black palazzo pants and a green off-shoulder top, I carefully wrapped a scarf around my head, wore my dark Chanel sunglass

Chapter: Chapter 17ELSIE’S POV As I drove home from work, I was clouded with excitement and could not wait to arrive home and show Ethan the surprise I had in store for him. I could already imagine the look on his face when I showed him the tickets I got for the both of us to his favorite artist's life recording. I mean, it's Davis who wouldn’t be excited.I expected Ethan to be in the living room with Isabella when I got home because they are usually together, either watching a movie or playing games together but today seemed to be different.Isabella was all alone in the living room and she had a sour expression on her face which was very unlike her. However, I walked up to her since she was so lost and did not even recognize me when I walked in, “hey princess, is anything wrong?” I asked as I bent down in front of Isabella.“Mommy, I think I got Daddy upset today. He doesn’t even want to talk or play with me.” Isabella said and her eyes were dull with sadness.I could not possibly think that Ethan
