" aaaaah" Ana screamed as she got out of bed." What's wrong mum?" Elena asked as she carefully placed her two day old sister on the bed." We have to leave this place Elena, they're coming" she said in fear as she got up and rushed to the cupboard." What's wrong mum? Why are you fidgeting?" Elena asked" He's coming, he'll be here soon, I can feel it in my guts" Ana said as she weakly got off the bed. " Jessica!" She called and Jessica ran in." Pack your bags, we're leaving" Ana said and rushed to the small cupboard in the room where she had her and Elena's clothings." What's wrong Ana? Where are we going?" Jessica asked." Listen, you're my daughter now and you mean as much to me as Elena and I would not be able to forgive myself if Alex were to hurt you. Infact, no need to get any clothes. Let's go, I'll take the money with us" Ana said as she rushed, took a bag filled with money and rushed to the baby cot that Elena had just gotten. she carried the baby in her arms as she place
" you fools, go after them" Alex ordered as he held on to his injured leg where his daughter just shot at him. " You'll regret this Elena, I swear you will" he spoke in pain." You heard the boss, go after them. They'll pay for this" one of the men said as he took a handkerchief from his pocket and tied it around the spot where he'd been hurt. He definitely wouldn't let Elena off the hook for daring to shoot at him." Yes boss" one of the men said and they quickly went after the bus that Elena had boarded." Are you alright?" Ana asked Elena as she helped Elena sit." Yes mum but we're not safe. Especially now that there's a baby with us. We could never know when she could start crying so..... we have to get down" Elena suggested." You're right Ellie but think about it, if we get down now, your dad can easily catch up with us and that'll be bad" Jessica said." You're right Jess but may I correct you.... I do not have a dad. My dad died the very day he raised his hand to my mum" Elen
" dad?" Elena muttered as she looked down at the baby who was peacefully sleeping." Shocked? You should be because I want your mother to feel the same thing when she is brought to me" he said with a smirk on his face." Mum?" She got up stared at him, still holding the baby carefully. " You ba**ard, what have you done to my mother" Elena sounded angry. She could tolerate anything but when it came to her mother, she couldn't tolerate even the tiniest insults." How dare you?" Alex asked angrily as he slapped her hard across the face which caused her to stagger but she still held on to the baby. She raised her head to him and he could see that her face had become swollen just from the slap and her eyes had become teary." Last time we met, I gave you two options but you decided not to tick but to rather add one of your own which was to shoot me so now, I'm ready to score you based on your answer. You know what your score is..... Death" he said as he took a gun out of his pocket and aim
" f**k you bitches" he cursed as he stared at his men, including Derrick who seemed to be the most injured. " Get up" he said as he helped Derrick up. The rest of his men could die for all he cared but Derrick..... He couldn't lose him so easily. " What happened to you?" He asked as he led Derrick to a bench in the park, far from where the fireworks were still going off." Boss, they escaped. After the fireworks went off, we all scattered and Ana madam seized the child from me. Just as I was about to run after her, a firework went into my eyes and I fell to the floor and the sparks from the fireworks kept on hurting us and that was why we all got injured" Derrick explained in pain as he moved his hand to try and feel where Alex was." What's wrong?"." I can't see boss. The fireworks brought too much light and they have temporarily damaged my eyesight" Derrick said." And how long will this be? " Alex asked." I think 24 hours. Boss, you should know this but this aren't ordinary firew
Tears streamed down Elena's eyes as she saw the pitiable state her mother was in. She gave the baby to Jessica and the baby started crying. Elena took a scarf from her bag and covered her mother's glory." Mum what happened to you?" Elena asked in tears, ignoring the baby's cries." H... He.... He..... He assaulted me. H ..he and his men" Ana spoke weakly and in pain as tears streamed down her eyes." Mum who...." Before Elena could complete her statement, some men came and dragged them. " Let go of me!! mum" she screamed as she saw them drag her mum, Jessica and the baby away into a truck. She struggled and after sometime, one of the men shot a dart at her neck and she fell to the ground, unconscious." Mum" she muttered a she closed her eyes slowly..In a huge mansion, a fifteen year old boy is seen in a black tuxedo. His dark hair, combed neatly reveals smartness. His rosy lips pressed into a straight line and his black eyes, staring at a middle aged man.He moves forward to the m
It was now dark but Elena, Ana and Jessica were still running for their lives." Mum, I don't think I can run anymore. I'm so tired" Elena said as she sat on the floor." Come on Ellie, we have to keep running because they might catch up with us" Ana said. She couldn't deny the fact that she was also tired or that her legs ached but she couldn't risk her children just for her rest." How about this, let's go into the mall and rest for the night and in the morning, we see where we can go?" Jessica suggested." Yes mum, please!" Elena begged and Ana had no choice but to agree. She decided to get them some food but when it was her turn at the counter, she realized she didn't have any money on her. She remembered that she'd left the money at Alex's house when he kidnapped her. They didn't have where to sleep, they hadn't showered in days and they hadn't eaten either but they didn't have any money to do any of those things." Come on" Ana said as she led them to the female restroom in the
EIGHT YEARS LATER....In the kitchen of a five star restaurant, a chef is seen slicing. Every slice she makes depicts elegance and as she stirs the food, one could marry her just by seeing how beautiful she looked doing so. As she moved around the kitchen to grab some items, one could tell that she had a very beautiful face ." Wow Melena, you're looking very beautiful today" an eight year old girl commended." Sweetheart, you saw me this morning and I think I know what you want" the chef said with a smile on her beautiful face. " It's in the freezer, you can have it" " Really melena? Well you should also know something. Whenever I compliment you, you should know I mean" the eight year old girl said as she rushed to the freezer to get the bowl of ice cream. She licked her lips as she watched the chef finish what she was doing." Brie, I'm done with the food. I've chopped the onions, only add it in exactly thirty minutes from now. Not a minute sooner or a minute later" the chef said a
Elena was in the kitchen with Brianna, they were making sure they'd gotten everything right because the centenary anniversary was in three days and they needed to make a name for the restaurant. She brought Gabriella along, not because she didn't trust Jessica but because firstly, she wanted to spend time with her and secondly, she was scared of what Josh would do to her sister." And the tomatoes? Make sure they're delivered in two days. I don't want any mistakes" she said and washed her hands before bending to Gabriella. " And you my princess, what do you want to have for lunch?" She asked." Pizza?" Gabriella said and winked." Okay, I'll place an order for Roni"" No, i don't want pepperoni today. I want cheese" she said." I thought you're no fan of cheese?" Elena asked." Yes but since you love it, i love it too and today, i wanna have pizza with the best mum in the world" Gabriella said and hugged Elena." I think I've got an idea"" What is that?"" You'll see" she said and ga
“No! Elena!” Daniel yelled out of his lungs as he watched her traveling down to the ground.He felt his world shattering into a thousand pieces and for the next minutes, all he could do was sit back, with his head buried to the ground.Tears poured out of his eyes like an ocean and for the first time in his life, he felt like a failure.He couldn’t even save the woman who he claimed to love so much. “Elena! Where is she? Did she…”, Gabrielle said as she went towards the edge of the cliff and realized that Elena was no more there.She fell back to the ground and let out a sorrowful wail, hitting her legs on the ground intently and screaming her sister’s name.Daniel got a grip of himself and stood to his feet. Elena had made him promise to take care of her sister and inasmuch as he was broken, he needed to stand there for her.“It’s okay”, Daniel said with a soft voice as he tapped her calmly and pulled her into a warm hug. Gabrielle sobbed on his chest just as they awaited the arriva
“Elena!” Gabrielle shouted on top of her voice the moment she walked into the scene to see Elena who was now soaked in blood.Elena was barely standing firm, and with each step she took backwards, she was at the verge of falling down the cliff.Jessica quickly turned to look at Gabrielle and immediately, a small scoff made way to her face.“Get out of here!” She said to Gabrielle who couldn’t believe her eyes.Gabrielle ignored her and made to run over to Elena, but Jessica shot her.Luckily, there were no bullets left in the gun. Jessica knew that she was at a big risk at this point. She swiftly dropped the gun to the ground and dashed out of the premises, ignoring Gabrielle who was crying or Elena who was close to falling off the cliff.“Elena!” Gabrielle rushed over to Elena to grab her. Unfortunately, she wasn’t fast enough because in that minute, Elena fell off the cliff.Gabrielle let out a loud scream that shook the entire area. Tears poured out of her eyes as she tried to calm
Elena had seen Jessica and suddenly felt a glint of hope in the situation. However, the moment Jessica had taken down the men, she faced the gun to Elena.At first, Elena thought that Jessica was only trying to joke with her and at this, she started laughing out in elation. However, Jessica remained still, without a single iota of excitement on her face.“I’m not here to save you”, Jessica suddenly said, with her hands touching the trigger.Elena was shocked to her bones as she stared at Jessica who had just made the utterance that broke her heart.“What do you mean?” Elena asked as she started walking closer to Jessica who had tears in her eyes.“What do you mean by that? You are not here to help me?” Elena asked again, not wanting to believe what Jessica had just said to her.“I meant what I said. I’m not here to save you but to end you!” Jessica bluntly replied, causing Elena to stare at her in shock.Elena chuckled calmly to conceal the anxiety in the atmosphere, but she quickly
Elena smiled in relief and walked into the room, feeling so glad that her sister was safe and looked fine.She made to untie her from the chair, but just as she was almost done with that, she heard the cocking sound of a gun, right on her head.This made her stop right in her tracks, with cold shills running down her spine.Gabrielle had tears running out of her eyes as she watched Elena who had a gun pointed to her head.“Don’t move or that would be your end!” The voice said and again, Elena’s stomach twisted in fear and anxiety. She gulped down hard as beads of sweats started forming on her forehead. The room looked empty and the last things she expected was the appearance of someone with a gun.Daniel was standing outside, at some distance away. Elena had been faster than him and all he could do was slowly walk up to meet her while studying the environment and checking for any threat.Just then, he caught sight of someone entering the house, with a gun in his hands. His heart skip
Daniel stared at Elena who was now trembling, with her phones in her hands that were barely steady. He needed no one to tell him that she had just received a very bad information.“If you are looking for her, she just got kidnapped”, Elena went through the message again, with tears pouring out of her eyes.Jessica stood beside them, with her hands folded to her chest and her face wearing a look of confusion.Elena started sobbing almost immediately, increasing the intensity of her cries as seconds passed. This made Daniel’s heart ache terribly. At this, he went over to her and hugged her passionately, placing soft kisses on her neck.“We would find her…I promise you that”, he said with a tone of assurance, even if he had no idea of how that was going to happen.“How? There are no clues anywhere. They just took her away and we have no idea of who they are”, Elena sobbed while Daniel hugged her again.Jessica slowly walked over to her and pulled her into a warm hug too.“We would find
The news was devastating that for some minutes, none of them could utter any word. Elena fell to the ground and broke into loud sobs while Gabrielle followed suit.Daniel returned from his walk and once he met them in that state, he needed no one to tell him that Jessica lost the child.He held Elena up and tried to console her. But then, that didn’t seem to work so much since Elena blamed herself for every single thing that happened.“I shouldn’t have ever known Josh! It’s all my fault”, she cried out while Daniel patted her on her shoulders.He was enraged as well. At this point, he wished that he would come across Josh and give him the beating of his life.“We should go see her. You have to be strong if you need her to be strong. She is the one who is going to be more affected by the news”, Daniel said to Elena who nodded her head in understanding.After what seemed like ages, she finally got a grip of herself. They walked into the hospital room where they met Jessica who was curre
Chaos erupted in the atmosphere the moment Jessica landed on the ground. In a split second, her head started bleeding and she was barely conscious. Elena let out a scream of distress while Josh took to his heels, not looking back for even a second. They called for the ambulance and immediately, Jessica was rushed to the hospital. Once they got to the hospital, Jessica was rushed into the emergency ward and this placed both Elena and Daniel in a state of panic.Elena couldn’t withhold her tears at this point. She suddenly started crying aloud the moment she recalled the sight of the blood that oozed out of Jessica’s head. It was terrifying that for a moment, she was beginning to have fears that she might lose her.“Stop crying!” Daniel said as he pulled her into a warm hug.It was a difficult time for him as well. He never thought that the day would turn out to be one where he would get such a heated confrontation from Josh. In addition, he didn’t know that such a thing would happen
Elena was the first to run off to meet Jessica. She had never felt so scared all of her life. She had tears in her eyes as she tapped her calmly, hoping that she would stand up without any issues.Everything was currently happening because of her and she couldn’t help but feel ashamed and guilty. “Jessica!” Elena called out the moment she observed that she was laying on tue ground, looking lifeless and unconscious.Josh scoffed when he saw this and walked back to Elena. He took her hands away from Jessica and pushed her away.“Let her be! We have our situation to solve here”, Josh said, without a bit of feelings or emotions in his eyes. Elena couldn’t believe her ears. She gazed at Josh as she tried to wonder how he could be so heartless even if he was the cause of everything that had just happened. “Can you hear yourself? You caused all of these and yet you stand there and ignore her?” Elena asked unbelievably as she returned her gaze to Jessica who was still laying on the ground.
Elena was burning in rage at this point. She couldn’t understand how Josh could be so stupid to spew out such kind of things against Daniel.“Not another word from you, Josh!” She screamed out of her lungs, trying so hard to stop the tears that welled up in her eyes.She was truly exhausted at this point. The worst laid in the fact that she could barely look into Jessica’s eyes.All she felt was guilt and she needed no one to tell her that it would take a while to recover from the guilt she felt.“Daniel! You must be feeling like a super hero now. You’ve got a lady supporting you and willing to do anything for you”, he said and started laughing softly. He stopped midway and wore a big scowl on his face.“But I promise you that you won’t get her! Elena belongs to me and you are only wasting your time!” He said to Daniel who wore a scoff and folded his hands to his chest.Jessica felt that the world was currently turning. Her head was banging heavily and somehow, she struggled to keep
