Chapter 3 I'm breaking your marriage
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56She walked out of the room with hurried steps but as she left the building she slowed down. The paper in her hand wrinkled due to the forced she was putting on it. A few more steps forward and she stopped and kept her back against the hallway wall. Elsie breathed in several times but she still couldn't stop the tears rushing down her eyes. She looked at the sheet in her hand and read through it again and she sniffed and said to herself,
'That's right, Elsie, you have held on for too long. Your love wasn't reciprocated but you have been shamed instead. You should learn your lesson and let him go.'
But then more tears flowed down. Just when she was about to break down, she heard footsteps coming her way and she hurriedly stood upright and wiped away her eyes. She didn't want anyone to see her in a bad state and she adjusted herself and started walking away. The lady watched her back wondering what could be wrong with Elsie.
She hurried back to the car and entered. She sighed as she threw her neck back on the headboard. Sid looked at her and asked,
"Is it done?"
She nodded with a slight smile and he asked her,
"How long has it been since you went out for entertainment?"
Entertainment? Elsie was thinking about this word in her heart. During those five years, she was like a servant with endless chores every day, because she tried hard to win the hearts of Crofts family, but their hearts were like made of stone, and they still treated her with bad attitude.
It was as if she was a sinner.
She said sarcastically,"I didn't have the time for outing, and I used to only focus on how the Crofts family would appreciate my effort."
He sighed and said to her,"I bet Oswald will regret that he lost you. But I'm also glad that he didn't find you an inestimable treasure, and that a man like him doesn't deserve you."
"Come on, Precious, it's time to show other men how you shine!"
Elsie was no longer interested in what Oswald thought, henceforth she would live only for herself!
She noticed Sid's approving smile and she asked,"So where are we going next?"
"The club, we need to go and relax before we make you a queen. You're going to be busy next so we need to take the time we can to get really relaxed, but most importantly, there is someone who would love to meet you. I bet he is someone you would be amazed to meet," Sid finished, his eyes winking at her.
Who is person? Elsie had been so busy taking care of Oswald's family for the past few years that she didn't think she knew anyone else, and especially a man. But she was sure Sid wouldn't let her meet someone without any reason.
She spoke up and said,"Go on, then. You're right, I need relax!"
Sid smiled and looked at the driver and then said to him,
"To nightmare."
A few minutes later, they walked into the club. They walked to the VIP section and a young man sat on the couch with a glass of wine in his hand and a full bottle of wine in an ice bucket on the table in front of him. He was browsing his phone and two men dressed in black stood behind him. He was dressed in black trousers and long sleeved white shirt.
When he heard the footsteps, he looked up and upon seeing Elsie, a broad smile appeared on his face. He removed the glasses and Elsie was stilled walking towards him. She looked at him closer and he raised his eyebrows and opened his arms as he stood up. Elsie rushed and hurriedly hugged him, it seems he was taken by surprise and so, they both fell unto the couch.
Elsie laughed out and helped herself up by pressing on his chest slightly. She sat up and slapped his thigh and then called out to him,
"Aires Rayleigh!! Oh my God!! Where the hell have you been?"Aires is an orphan in the orphanage sponsored by her father. Elise noticed him because he was so special and he was so good looking.
But because of his withdrawn personality, he was often bullied by his peers and Elise always stood up for him. However, after her father died, the orphanage operator was replaced and Aires had since disappeared.
She herself had a terrible time because of it, so she didn't have the energy to look for him, and she was really so surprised that she got to see him again.
Aires was even more handsome, and she jumped into Aires' arms, not noticing his reddening cheeks.
All the while, Aires was still laying on the couch with his eyes blinking hurriedly and a blush on his cheeks. One of the bodyguard moved towards him to help him sit up but he stopped him with a stern look.
Aires was happy to know that Elsie was divorced. No one knew that he had always had a crush on her, even though she was five years older than him. He didn't want to scare her so he kept it as a secret and he vowed to guard her very well.
Aires was just about to explain when Sid answered for him,"I told you, you would be amazed but it seems you are surprised and happy as well."
Elsie laughed out and she looked back at the bodyguards and asked him,
"Who are these people behind you and why do you need them?"
Aires smiled and Sid replied to her,
"He is an idol; he is so famous in the entertainment industry that he is called a super idol. And so, he can't walk alone if you understand what I mean."
Elsie looked at Aires unbelievably and he nodded his head and said to her,
"It's all thanks to your family, I would be a nobody if not for your parents help."
Elsie sighed with a painful smile on her face and said to them,
"You are a living proof of their benevolence. I am proud of you!"
Aires laughed and responded to her,
"Yes, I am a living proof and you would reap the fruit of their labour. I am ready to help you in any way possible for you to stand on your feet."
Elsie clenched her fists, not wanting to disappoint these people who had been supporting her. She said firmly,"Why not? I have lost love but I still have you guys."
Elsie finished and once again glanced at Sid gratefully, although she was not with him all these years, he has been paving the way for her. He kept telling her that she was smart, with a master's degree from a top university she should not just do the maid thing. She used to love Oswald's too much, and she trusted their family to help her investigate the truth about her father's death, but the fact is that five years have passed and the fact is no one has even talk about it.
Next, she will use all her resources to investigate the truth of her father's death and take back her father's company!

"Cheers, let's toast to Elsie who finally gets rid of her misery!"Sid suggested, and Elsie did not hesitate, ready to pick up the glass and drink, but Aires grabbed the glass from her hand and replaced it with a glass of soda.Sid looked at him strangely, Aires realized that he was too abrupt, his face immediately turned red, he hurriedly explained, "Elsie, it's been a long time since I drank, the alcohol concentration here is too high, I'm worried that you will get drunk in a while, next we have to talk about Elsie accepting the company, don't we?"Elsie saw Aires' handsome face covered with red, she thought he was too cute, she couldn't help but touch him with her hand, but before she could reach out her hand, a bottle flew in her direction. Aires saw it and hurriedly pulled Elsie into his arms, the bottle hit the wall behind them and broke into pieces.Elsie looked up and realised it was Dwight, Oswald's brother.

Dwight came home to see his mother Huldah sitting on the couch putting on a mask, she looked as if nothing clear had happened, he frowned and walked towards her."Elsie divorced my brother, did you force Elsie to do this thing?""What? Is it true what you say, that Oswald finally came to his senses and threw that beggar out?" Huldah heard Dwight's words and excitedly pulled down the membrane to confirm.She was happy to see Oswald made this decision, no wonder she came back from shopping and didn't see that beggar, she was ready to wait to see her and then scold her severely, it's already meal time, she even had the guts to be lazy and not cook!"Beggar? Mom, watch your words, if other people hear you talking about your daughter-in-law like that, you will be written up in the media as a vicious mother-in-law. That won't help crofts' reputation." Dwight said coldly.Huldah, however, did not care at all, she remembered Oswald and could have discussed the matter with her."How do you know

"Grandpa?" Elsie asked again uncertainly."El love, how are you my princess?" grandpa's voice rang out again after a similar pause, and Elsie could hear grandpa's excitement."Grandpa?" she managed to whisper out of shock."Yes, my princess, come back home now. I have something very important to tell you.Elsie didn't ask what was going on, she was completely shocked again by the appearance of her grandfather, who had also disappeared after her father's accident, and she wondered where he had gone all these years.She hung up the phone and went outside before she could gather herself.A man dressed in a black suit and standing beside a Benz.

He saw his mother at first sight, she was helping the maids bring out the wardrobe he made for Elsie after their wedding. He rushed towards her and pulled the wardrobe down. His mother stared at him with anger and surprise but that didn't concern him rather he asked,"What do you think you are doing here mom?""I'm cleaning the stain you brought in the house.

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.

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

He walked into the dark room, the only source of light was a bulb that was lit and shown a particular point in the room. 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.

When did you fall head over heels for Elsie?” “It’s sister in law for you.

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.

Several men are brought out of the house, some on trailers and others held by the waist, some carried in the arms and some covered with cloths to their heads. 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. When she got to him, she bent on one knee and held his head with a wicked expression on her face, she questioned, What? Did you think you wer
