After the Jury declared their final verdict, the Fragrance company won ten million in compensation. As they are under the process of expansion, they are in dire need of money, which Nina and Ella refused to take from anyone else, not even Theo. And the Morrison heir respected their decision and never broached that subject again. So now, Ella would have been jumping with the joy if she was normal. But despite gaining so much money unexpectedly, there is no trace of happiness in Ella's eyes. She is too quiet. Jeremiah, Ella and Noah are travelling with Theo and Nina in the same car. Ella was sitting in the back beside Jeremiah who is in the middle. Liam was sitting on the other side. Theo is driving while Nina sat beside him in the passenger seat. Theo noticed Liam taking glances at Ella more than once, which spiked his curiosity. While Nina turned to look at Ella more than once. She is worried about Ella. "What happened to Ella today? We won the pathetic case that Nova has fil
Liam is not understanding why Ella seems to look devastated. She was not herself this morning. And she ran outside suddenly from the moment she saw that kid. 'What is bothering her so much that she is crying like this? Is she worried that she might get pregnant from last night? Is seeing that kid triggered that fear?' he thought to himself. Whatever happened last night, he did not think that it would end this way. After a while, when she stopped crying, but was still looking lost, he decided to apologise and assure her. "Ella, i am extremely sorry for what happened last night. I promise you, I will be responsible for you. I will not leave you to deal with the aftermath. Please, don't cry. I just can't see you like this" he spoke as gently as he could. She smiled sadly and pulled away from his embrace, as if realising where she was. She wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. "Don't worry about it. You are not entirely responsible for what happened. You didn't force me.
Ella was quiet after Nina spoke. Nina parked their car in front of a cafe. "I will bring us something to eat" Nina spoke up before exiting the car. Nina is giving Ella time to think and come to terms with what happened in the last twenty four hours. After Nina left, Ella's mind went to the time when she first met Vincent. He was gentle and charming. He charmed her in no time. He used to know when she needed something and what she needed. As Ella was an orphan, Vincent's mother and his family didn't accept her. But he didn't listen to them. Only Vincent's father gave his blessings to their union. They got married in a Civil affairs bureau and started their married life. Everything was fine for the first two years. She used to think that she was the luckiest woman in the world who got a husband like him. Then, Vincent got busy with his work and rarely at home. He used to spend most of his time in the company. Ella used to feel that they both are becoming distant. That's when Vincen
Heather Smith was the ex secretary of the Late Vincent. She worked for him for over four years. She was just a newbie when she joined the Vincent group. Within one year she was promoted as the secretary of the boss recognising her hard work. Then, she started working for him just when he got married. Initially their relationship was purely professional. Slowly it developed into friendship and then one night it turned into companionship. Neither of them thought that it would turn that way. But it happened. And neither Heather who was single at that time not Vincent who was married thought about what they were doing to Ella. After all, Ella was the legal wife of Vincent who married her going against everyone in his family. But his love didn't last long. It shifted from Ella to Heather within a couple of years. Heather looked at her one and a half year old son who is now sleeping peacefully in his crib. When her boyfriend suggested that they should go out for lunch, she agreed without
Ella gasped and covered her mouth with shock. "So all the while when I was being given mind numbing work which used to drain the energy out of me, it was my dear husband who did it to avoid me?" she spoke with bitterness. The love she held for her husband is slowly transforming into anger. Heather looked at her open palms and nodded her head. When Vincent was avoiding his wife, she used to feel so happy that he was prioritising her over his wife. So she never contradicted him. "You know Nina, Everyone used to dump something or other near my desk and demand that I should finish it. I used to think that they were helping me to learn faster, so I never complained. They might have thought that I was a fool" Ella shared with Nina with tears brimming in her eyes. Nina wrapped her arm around Ella to comfort her. What more can she do? If that Vincent was still alive, she would have killed him herself. But he is not. So she can only help her friend to recover from this bitter reality of h
The same day in the evening, Nova found himself in hot water with his family. His mother is crying while his father and grandfather are fuming through their noses. "This fool went and made a mess out there. Now look at the news. Every news channel is telecasting the same news. They are criticising him and the entire Fisher family for being unethical. Listen to what they are saying. They are holding a debate about how vile and disgusting Nova is and how the Fisher gave birth to a scum like him. Who would go after a married woman? Even if he had his eyes on her, he should do everything discreetly. But if he is going for the Mistress of the Morrison family, he should never ever even look at her in the wrong way. But this piece of trash not only has his eyes on Mr. Morrison's wife, he even announced it in front of the media" Grandpa Fisher snapped with so much anger, that he is breathing heavily at the end. Even Michael Fisher is not pleased with the negative publicity the Fisher famil
After everything that happened with Ella, Nina couldn't bring herself to leave Ella alone in her apartment. So she decided to stay back to make sure that her friend is fine. "Nina, i am not a baby. I am a couple of years older than you. There is no need for you to baby sit me here. You can go home. Mr. Morrison would be waiting for you" Ella tried to send Nina home. But being the good friend that she is, Nina refused to leave Ella alone. At least not at that time though. "Theo will understand that you need me now. You don't worry about us" Nina assured Ella. After coming back from Heather's house, both the ladies slumped down on the couch in Ella's apartment. Ella is not being herself. Nina can see that Ella is trying to pretend that she is tough, but she is hurting inside. Ella smiled. If Nina could call it the stretching of Ella's lips a smile, then it's a smile. "I know it's not easy for you to come to terms with everything that you found out today. I can understand how pain
"Theo? Theo?" Nina's anxious voice rang from the car speaker. She heard that sound, which made her spine freeze with fear. The sound of metal screeching followed by a loud banging sound. "Theo? Theo? What is happening there? Theo?" Nina's voice became louder and she is very anxious. Fear is evident in her voice. On the other hand Theo is not responding at all. "Theo?" her voice rose more than ten octaves and she is on the verge of crying now. Ella, who came back from her room heard Nina's anxious voice. Nina sounded as if she was on the verge of crying. "Nina? What happened?" Ella rushed towards Nina with concern. "Theo, please speak something. Theo" Nina is out right crying now. "Nina? What happened?" Ella asked again. But Nina couldn't reply. She collapsed on the floor while cluthing her mobile tightly to her chest as if she is trying to hold Theo. "Nina?" Ella is shocked, unable to understand what happened within the span of ten minutes. Nina was fine when Ella went t
