The smile on Oswald’s face was so obvious that Elsie didn’t know where to look out of embarrassment. He cleared his throat when he realized that he looked too happy for been called by his name. she thought that she had to rush to her car but then she remembered that it almost left her on the road because it had run out of gas.Oswald sighed and then told her,How about you let me drop you at your work place?Elsie shook her head quickly but she looked in the way of her car and recalled it had no gas to take her back. Elsie didn’t know what to do, but then she suddenly remembered that she could call Ann to pick her up. And so, she brought out her phone from her purse but her expressionless face turned sour when her phone wouldn’t switch on.Oswald watched her attempt to escape his company and Elsie realized that she had been found out. And so, she hung her head still tapping on her phone, she sighed and thought,Why did I get caught so easily? Nothing is working out for me and I have a
Elsie was taken to the hospital because of her bruised arm. Her hand was being bandaged because of the bruise and the pain she was feeling in it. she looked at Oswald adoringly and said to him,Thank you for everything, I find you myself thanking you a lot these days. I appreciate all that you have done for me.Oswald nodded but his expression showed clearly that he wasn’t happy. He sighed and then said to Elsie,Darren has been arrested by the police and taken into custody.Elsie nodded her head and looked away but then, Oswald asked her,Why did you stand in the way of the bat? You could have dodged it.Elsie smiled and then responded to him,I couldn’t have dodged it else it would be Ann in my place right now. And she could be worse.Oswald was surprise that she would do that to herself in place of someone. But then, he said to her,I think you should never think of harming yourself, no matter the reason. You might have saved her but I think she would be feeling very bad right now.
Elsie felt herself uncomfortable laying on the hospital bed, as she thought about promising Oswald of staying in bed, she also thought about acting disobedient to see Oswald’s reaction. She smiled to herself and called the company to schedule a meeting in the afternoon with the Crofts Group of Companies. Elsie joined them in the meeting and Oswald saw her, he glared at her and looked at her bandaged arm worriedly.But when the rest of the people joined them, he changed his demeanour and started a presentation of the hotel project. Elsie blushed when she saw his muscular arm moving up and down from the board and to his body. She then thought to herself,So attractive, so manly, Oswald, you really know how to charm a lady without doing nothing.When she realized her thoughts, she signed and threw her head back on the headboard. Oswald thought she was tired and so, rushed through the presentation and ended. The workers wondered the reason behind his action and Elsie was included. After t
Elsie woke up with the sun peeking through the darkness in her eyes. Her eyes opened in a tired motion as she felt the pain her arm. Her eyes darted around in the room and realised she wasn’t in her bedroom or anyone’s bedroom but in a hospital room. Elsie then noticed the warm contact on her palm and she looked in the person holding her palm’s way. When she saw who it was, she thought,I have been waking up to see you many times in this short time. Why does this make my heart excited?Oswald saw her looking at him and so, he said to her,You are finally awake; I hope you are doing well now.Elsie nodded herb head but then asked,Why am I here again? The last I remember was speaking to you on phone in my office.Oswald nodded to him and then said to her,And those words we spoke together could our last together if Ann didn’t find you on time. How about you listen to me a little? Okay?Elsie nodded her head and looked away feeling guilty but then she asked,Why are you here this early?
Elsie laid in bed thinking about Oswald when the doctor came in, he looked at her wounds and said to her,Miss Elsie, I’m sorry but I will have to keep my eyes on you for a week. The last time I was negligent, you almost brought your corpse back in here.Elsie smiled but one could see that it didn’t reach her eyes out of embarrassment. She felt sad that she had to stay in a hospital room for a whole week. But she couldn’t say anything about it because of her previous actions.Ann brought her the necessary documents so she wouldn’t rush to the company once again as instructed by Oswald. Elsie was happy that Ann had thought about this. But then, she said to her,We both cannot stay out of the company and so, you will have to go back if you don’t want me to go.Ann didn’t want to leave her behind, but it was only her or both of them. And so, she left even though she was hesitating. When she was at the door, she looked back and asked her looking for an excuse to come back,Miss, what shal
Megan tried all she could to enter the room with a preconception that whoever that was in the room was important to make Oswald visit her. It was the women’s ward and only women could stay in room there. This was what worried her and so, she wanted to see whoever was in there no matter what. Elsie couldn’t hear what the person was saying but she knew that the person wasn’t ready to back down and so, she prompted Oswald,Please, settle whatever that is for me, let me know who that is and the reason she is causing trouble in the hospital.This time, Oswald nodded his head and walked towards the door, he opened it slightly and saw Megan. He moved out quickly and closed the door behind him to stop Elsie from seeing who or eavesdropping.When Megan saw Oswald open the door, she also stretched her neck to see inside but Oswald was fast on closing it. She sighed and then asked him with a frown on her face,Oswald, may I know who it is in there? And why you are visiting her?Oswald also frown
Sid and Aires pushed Oswald aside and got closer to Elsie, they started bombarding her with questions one after the other,When did you get hurt?Who did this to you?Are you in too much pain?Why is this guy even with you? How did he find out that you were in the hospital?Who is taking care of you? And how long have you being in here without our knowledge?They turned to Oswald and saw that he was still in the room and so, they looked at her and at the same time asked,Why is he still in here?Elsie sighed and looked in the way of Oswald feeling sorry for him, she still said to him,Please, you can leave, they will stay with me.Oswald nodded his head and turned to walk away but then he said to them before existing the room,Take good care of her, don’t let her work too much.Right behind him, if he turned again, he would have been dead from the flying daggers coming from the two men’s eyes. Elsie shook her head at their actions. She laid down slowly and looked at the two men beside
Oswald was in his thoughts thinking about Elsie’s health, he looked out in the window. He had a poker face on when Rod entered the room, he didn’t have to knock as the door was left ajar. He wondered the reason for this as Oswald wouldn’t leave the door ajar if he was in the office or out. He thought that, maybe something had happened inside and so, he rushed in.When he saw that Oswald was in the office and had left the door and was also sitting and not working, he froze in his steps and stared at him in confusion. He tilted his head and looked at his face and the thought,Sir is getting worse and worse, if he doesn’t realize and confess his feelings, I don’t think he can return to who h was before.He sighed and walked walk to him purposely making noise with his steps. Oswald seemed to have heard this noise and looked in his way. He frowned and asked in an irritated voice,When did you start acting this way? Why are you dragging your feet in this way? Are you out of your mind?Rod l
While the love birds were chatting in the car as they drove, the police car was chasing after a land cruiser. The posh car was driving at top most speed as the car could take it as the police car chased after it. the cars went in circles through the city and the people wondered what was happening. Alternatively, a salon car was also being chased by another police car from the airport to the city, some people took their phones and videoed the chase while others just watched on.Two more posh cars joined the chase making the situation difficult to understand. One of the cars was being chased from the city one other from the airport and the two other posh cars were chasing after the one being chased from the city. The two cars that were being chased stopped at the same time and an older man got out his car with his hands in the air as he shouted,Let my family go, they have nothing to do with anything. I committed all the crimes. They had no hand in anything, the salon car attempted to m
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. 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. The middle aged man didn’t look up at the man even though he was in pain and that seemed to have irritated the old man. He hissed and forced his head up shouting at him,“Darren Norman, are you sure that at this juncture, you still want to keep your dignity? You were just a dog that I wanted to use to get what I wanted, now that you couldn’t, do you still think that you are of importance to me?”Darren winced as he tried to open his eyes, when he could a
Elsie expected the gate to open but didn’t. Confused, she tried over and over again, she pressed on the remote several times in frustration and shouted,God damn it, don’t tell me that I chose the wrong remote.She looked back and the guard was a few steps away. 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. At first she was shocked and had frozen in place until she heard footsteps behind her, she rushed out and saw a taxi parked right in front of her.Just as she was about to climb into the car, she heard him call her,Elsie, where are you going without me?She looked back at him and a tiny smile appeared on her face. She sat in the car and the car didn’t move, she remembered that she hadn’t told the driver to wait for anyone. And so, Elsie asked,I don’t remember telling you to wait for him, why are you still here?Oswald entered the car and answered her question,It’s becaus
Are you going to take them back?He asked again trying to get the answer undiluted. 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? After all your best friend had lost his job.You know that I am a busy person, and so, I wouldn’t have found the time. Oswald retorted looking directly on the laptop.Rod smiled and responded to him,You would really find the time as you have signed off everything that you own to Miss Elsie, what will you be doing but drinking in day light?Oswald snorted and looked at his watch then he said to Rod, I will be done looking through this in a few minutes and I will be going that old man for my wife.Rod smiled and said as if speaking to himself,
Elsie felt that he was being too rude and so, he slapped his hand shyly and glared at him. The old man stood up and said to her,Let me get out of here before you butcher me for talking to him.Elsie quickly stood up and quickly took her phone and then rushed out of the place. Mr. Alfred watched her leave silently and shook his head, when she wasn’t in sight, he said to him on the other end of the line,She’s gone, you can speak now.He heard a long sigh on the other end before he spoke,I know you are worried about Elsie, I know she has got some feelings for me and she isn’t alone. I treated her badly because I was looking elsewhere but when I finally looked at her, I knew that I didn’t want to lose her. 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. You ae saying if there’s something to be said, you will be the one to
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. A few minutes later, she heard a knock on her door and she heard someone say behind the door, Sir said, you can rest for the day. He wants you down in five minutes for dinner. Your phone is with him and he would be answering all your calls. Answer my calls? Elsie thought, she shrugged and was about to lay her head down once again when she thought, If he is going to answer my calls, does that mean all my calls? Including that of Oswald’s? She shook her head and rushed into the washroom, in five minutes she was out and running down the stairs. The old man was already seated at the table when she arrived, in front of him and beside his coffee cup plate were three phones. She
Dwight along with Hulda and Oswald sat at the dining table the next day, everyone ate in silence until Dwight spoke, “Bro, I never knew that you would do something like this in the name of love. 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. I didn’t want to bring up this topic, I am sorry if you get hurt by my words. Now, I understand what it feels like to make someone your world and later get the feelin
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
