Aires looked at Ford and nodded towards him, he held Elsie’s other hand and asked her to dance. Elsie smiled in his way and also nodded towards Ford, before he knew it, they were already on the dance floor. Aires swung Elsie slightly but since she wasn’t expecting it, she stumbled on her feet. Just as she thought that she was done for, she embraced a hard substance. She felt a loud sound in her ears and the feeling on her chest. She looked up in his eyes and was dumbfounded.

Loud footsteps sounded from the gate but it stilled as the person watched the scene in front of him. The people in the room could feel the chill around him even from a distance. They watched him and saw his gloomy face, Aires looked away and looked in the way of the guests to see Oswald. He was watching them and his face looked like a cloudy cloud ready to descend cats and dogs.

    They both sat in the car as if they were total strangers. Elsie looked out the window with her palm on her cheek throughout the ride. Oswald wasn’t any different, he looked straight forward on the streets as if they were the most interesting things in the world. Through the silence, they arrived at the Crofts. When they arrived at the house, Elsie looked at the building with missed feelings but she contained herself as if she was the least affected.Oswald saw the housekeeper and asked,“Where’s Grandma?”Elsie looked the housekeeper and smiled slightly, and she thought to herself,‘They finally got themselves a housekeeper after exhausting the importance of me as a housekeeper. I guess they could now afford one and they didn’t need my help anymore.’Oswald saw her in her thoughts and said to her,“Let’s go to the garden, I’m told that grandma is there.”Elsie nodded her head and walked ahead of him, she saw the old woman in a swing chair with spectacles on her nose and reading newspa

    Oswald was in his office busily working when he heard his phone ring. He hesitated to check the phone ring because he was too busy and didn’t want to be disturbed. The phone rang the second time and he finally glanced at the screen. He saw the caller and he stopped abruptly, he looked at the lit screen and he thought,“Why is he calling me now? We haven’t spoken about business in a long while. Is this call about Tess or is it about business?”As he thought, the call ended and so, he took his phone called back. As soon as the person answered, Oswald said to him,“I’m sorry, I was busy and couldn’t pick up immediately. How may I be of help to you Hubery?”I heard something from my daughter and I wanted to confirm it from you.What is it, sir? I’m all ears.Elsie caused her accident, three years ago?Oswald was speechless, Tess had said the same thing to him resulting him and Elsie’s divorce.

    It came as a shock to Elsie to see the woman she called mother in law act the way she was doing. She knew the Crofts had a good reputation and they would do anything to keep it that way. But Hulda was acting contrary to that much to her surprise. She sighed several times to try to speak calmer so as not to be in the same lane as Hulda,“Hulda. I didn’t think that I would need to say anything to you ever again in my life. The last time you spoke to me you knew they were your last words to me as your daughter in law. So trust me, right now, I find your action ridiculous. I took nothing not even a penny from your son, I was ready to pay him off if he asked for it.”Hulda shook her head hurriedly and said to Elsie,“You, pay my son off? You must have gone crazy after my son left you. You have nothing, you orphan with nothing can shop in this mall and buy from the executive area? If you didn’t extort from my son, how could a poor orphan as you afford this place?”Elsie sneered and knew tha

    Oswald arrived at the mall and saw his mother standing by a pillar with her hands crossed on her chest. She saw Oswald and rushed towards him, Oswald looked behind and around but saw no one but her. He looked at her and asked her,“Where are the people maltreating you? Mom don’t tell me that you were playing a prank on me. I left a serious meeting just to meet you.”“It’s okay, don’t act rude to me. I was telling the truth but she left with them when I called you said that you were coming.”Oswald looked as if his energy had been sucked out of his body but he controlled himself. His mother touched his hand but he backed away. He looked sideways thinking that they might not have left yet but he didn’t even see a shadow of them.“So, she left even though she knew that I was coming? That means she doesn’t want to see me right?”As he was thinking, he heard his phone ringing and he answered,“Have you found it yet? If you have, leave it on my desk, I need to have a look at it first.”“No

It was Tess, Oswald knew Julian wouldn’t want to see Tess but he had to bring her after all, she was going to be his future wife. Tess bought a few gifts to be given to Julian.The maid carried the gifts Julian but she said to her,“You can’t have them even though I don’t need them. Throw these rubbish into the dustbin where they belong.”Oswald wasn’t happy with this and said to Julian,“You can’t do that, why are you refusing someone’s kind gesture. That’s not like you, grandma.”“Oh but she was kind enough to drive my granddaughter in law out her home. And you expect me to be kind to accept a kind gesture from this kind of woman? No thank you.”Tess suddenly started crying, Oswald looked at his grandmother angrily but she looked away unconcern

    In the office, Rod had read about the news about the accident and walked into Oswald’s office in agitation. He apologised to Oswald,“Sir, I’m so sorry about the leak of the video. I can promise you that it wasn’t leaked by the IT guy that we spoke about the last time. I settled him enough.”Oswald nodded his head as he watched the video leaked to the media. His eyebrows were wrinkled and his tie was loosed unlike his gentleman look he had on all the time. Rod knew he wasn’t happy about the news and so he said to him,“Sir, do you want me to let the news disappear?”Oswald shook his head and said to him,“No need for that, the Timothy’s must have planned this. They wouldn’t be happy if we tampered with it.”Rod nodded his head dissatisfiedly and was about to leave but then Oswald asked him,“What about the engagement ring? Have you received it yet?”Rod nodded his head and walked away without turning back.The next day, the party of Tess was a heated topic among the people in the city

    Elsie smirked and looked in the way of the woman and suddenly smiled and then she said,“I am sorry that I came here uninvited. By the way, you are making a wrong accusation if you say that I attempted to murder your daughter. You are mistaking her saviour for her murderer.”How could she say such a thing? Didn’t she see the video?I’m wondering the reason behind her lies.“She’s a murderer and a deceiver as well.”Elsie smirked when she heard the words of the crowd and she thought,‘Just as I thought, my words won’t carry weight over a video. And so, I can only prove myself with a solid evidence as well.’Elsie looked in the way of Tess and smirked once again, she looked on as she thought of how embarrassed she would be after she show her evidence. Tess’s eyes met that of Elsie and she shook out of fear. She felt that Elsie truly had something on her for her to be so bold in front of several people. Tess saw Oswald watching Elsie but he didn’t have anger in his eyes, she couldn’t des

    The people around were surprised by Elsie’s actions. Who would donate blood for her husband’s fiancée who was on a brink on death to keep her alive? They weren’t the only ones, Oswald looked in the way of Elsie and he thought of how cruel he had been to Elsie because of his thoughts that she was the culprit. She never blamed him or accused him of anything but held onto him, serving him and his family as well without any complains.Oswald kept looking at Elsie which caught her attention. She looked back at him and sneered, because she knew at the moment that Oswald might be regretting his actions. She was her lifesaver but she was considered the culprit, she found it sarcastic and so, she said to him,“We shouldn’t be blinded by our love for our close ones. That when they are doing the wrong thing, we wouldn’t see when it’s obvious. Today, I admit that you love Tess very much just as her parents do that you would believe her every words.”The crowd watched on, they had witnessed everyt

And that was on the head of a man, he was a middle aged man and he was in prison clothes. The old but gentleman dressed in suit took lazy steps towards the man tied on the chair. He had a frown on his face but it was like the person that was tied in front of him did not matter to like the sand that he was stepping on.He stopped in front of the man and held his chin, the man groaned slightly and the old man smirked.

When she felt that mission failed she heard a loud bang. The guard stopped and removed his gun in a swift, but then the gate started opened in a slow pace.

Asking the second time seemed to have irritated Oswald as, he glared at him and said to him,You seem to forget your place sometimes, I told you to separate personal relationship from work relationship. If you don’t stay in your lane, you will end up getting fired.Rod sneered and asked,And if I end up getting fired, will we still meet up and drink our asses off?

If there’s something to say to her, let me be the one to say it.Mr. Alfred removed the phone from his ear and looked at, he shook his head and said to Oswald,Do not think that I will be fooled by your slow words.

    Elsie woke up the next with a bright smile on her face. she stretched her body and felt pretty tired, she looked at the door way of the washroom and sighed begrudged. She shook her head and said to herself, I wonder if I would allow someone to wash me up if I had help. Since I won’t, I will have to help myself.

When did you fall head over heels for Elsie?” “It’s sister in law for you. I don’t know when I fell for her but I know that I can’t live without her.” Hulda glared at Oswald, she snorted and with a little anger in her eyes, “You love her so much that you were ready to sacrifice your life for her. Did you forget the rest of us? Do we mean nothing to you? Your father left me just like that and you intended to abandon us too?” Oswald shook his head silently and answered, “Mrs. Crofts, I believe we don’t have that relationship, when you gave all your heart to your husband and forgot that you had children, none of us complained.

    It was already dawn when they arrived at the house, Sid and Aires along with Anna came along with them. Elsie saw her and hugged her saying, I’m so proud of you for handling everything for me. I couldn’t have done this without your help. Sid pouted and complained, It’s not like she was the only one who kept the company in pace since you were gone. How long were you gone anyways? Elsie nodded and was about to embrace them together but Aires stepped away and said, I don’t need a hug from you, I can’t believe that you did that by yourself. I had different mindsets about what could really happen to you but look at you. It seems you didn’t care about us at all, all you think about is Oswald. Now that you are back, what are you going to do? Elsie laughed out and patted him on his shoulder saying, I don’t remember the last time you spoke so many words aside from singing. You must have really be agitated, I know you must have been worried but look at me, I returned hearty and healthy.

Elsie’s happy expression turned sour and she glared at the man who looked on with an unbothered expression. The soldiers turned to take them all away but then Elsie felt angry at what the man had done. She sneered and shouted, Don’t take him away, let him see how I end his wickedness by burning all that he had earned for being this wicked. Watch on you old maggot as I turn everything including your mansion into ashes. The man gnashed his teeth and attempted to escape from the soldiers hold but he swept him off the floor with his leg and he landed straight to the ground on his face. Elsie laughed out and walked closer to him, Oswald tried to stop her but she didn’t even take a look back.
