BACK TO PRESENT
" oh my goodness. I'm so sorry for your loss" Justin said consoling her." It's alright" Ana said." I promise you, we'll get Justice for the death of your baby alright?"" Alright" Ana said." Now please smile" Justin said giving her a reassuring smile." Yes" Ana said and gave him a light smile.************************************************FEW DAYS LATER....." Welcome home miss" David said." Thanks" Ana said." Wow wow wow" Alex said clapping as he walked down in his white shirt and crazy jeans combo." Alex?" Ana was scared." So you finally come home? I thought you were going to spend your whole life in the hospital" he said and chuckled." Sir, she......" Veronica wanted to defend Ana but she received a slap from Alex instead." Alex!!" Ana screamed as she gave him a slap." Miss?" Everyone was shocked." Just because you can hit me and get away with it doesn't mean you can do the same to my best friend and still get away" Ana said fearlessly." Did you just raise your hand to me?" Alex asked. This was the first time he had ever being slapped in his entire life. No one had the guts to talk to him let alone hit him." Yes and I'll do......." Ana was interrupted by a thunderous slap from Alex." I see. So your new boyfriend now gives you the guts to raise your hand to me. This time, I won't hit you. I'll let the police do it" Alex said and dialed the police." Alex, what are you doing? I'm your wife. You......" Alex just sighed and left.FEW MINUTES LATER....." Mr Hamilton," an officer walked in." Good, you're here. Arrest her on the basis of violence" Alex said." But isn't she your wife?" The officer was confused." Do as I say or you'll be the one ending up in the lockup" Alex threatened." Yes sir. Arrest her" the officer told his team and they arrested Ana." Miss" Veronica called as they took Ana away.She'd intended on following them but Alex stopped her.." If you so much as even think of following her, then she assure you that you'll breathe your last breathe" he said and left.AT THE POLICE STATION........." Please let go of me" Ana begged the officer. " I didn't do a thing I promise" Ana begged as she was pushed into a cell before it was locked." Listen madam, as much as I'd love to help you, I can't. I don't wanna lose my life. The only one who can save you is God or the Martinis and we both know that can't happen" the officer said and left." The martinis...... Justin can help" Ana thought to herself. " Officer, officer" Ana called." What is it you want?" The officer asked." A phone call. Please"" I guess I could do that" the officer said and unlocked her cell." Thanks" Ana said." Here you go now. Be quick about this, I don't want Mr Hamilton to get me fired" the officer said." Yes" Ana said. She quickly dialed a number." Hello" the reciever answered." Sonya, is that you?" Ana asked" Miss?"" Reduce your voice. I need a favor from you" Ana told her." Yes miss. Tell me, what do I have to do?"" Call Justin and tell him what happened. He'll know what to do" she said." Okay miss" Sonya said and hung up." Thanks" Ana said and dropped the phone." Come on, back to the locker" the officer said.ALEX'S HOUSE......." How do I get in touch with Mr Justin?" Sonya asked herself." What's wrong Sonya? You look worried" that was Veronica." Yes, I'm worried" she explained everything to Veronica." That shouldn't be a problem" Veronica said." And why not? We didn't get his contact" Sonya said." Then why do we have social media? Chat him up on I*******m" Veronica said." That's true!!" Sonya said.AT THE POLICE STATION,AN HOUR LATER,......" I wonder why Justin isn't here yet. I wonder if they were able to get through to him" Ana thought to herself." And who are you to tell us what to do?" Ana heard the officer yell" Release her now or you'll regret it" that voice sounded familiar........ Justin." Justin, Justin, is that you?" Ana called from her cell." Ana?" Justin ran to her cell. " How'd you end up here?" He asked." It was Alex. I got into a fight with him and then hit him so he threw me in the lockup" Ana explained." I'm here now alright? Don't worry. I'll handle it" he said and went back to the officer." Listen, I'm a high ranking official of the martinis. If you don't release her now then......" He said showing them his I.D CARD." Oh yes. Release her"' the officer said and they unlocked Ana's cell." Thanks" Ana said to Justin" Madam, please sign here" a female officer told Ana." Yes" Ana said and signed." Let's go" Justin said." Go where?" Ana asked." Where else? Alexander Hamilton" Justin said and left." What is this guy planning?" Ana asked herself.It won't be good..........." jus.... Justin, hold on" Ana called a furious Justin causing him to halt." What?" He asked without turning to look at her." Please. What are you planning to do? At least tell me" Ana begged." Listen, there's no need to know. You'll see when we get there" Justin said and got into the car. " Are you coming?" He asked." Yes...... I'm coming" Ana said. She quickly got into the car scared." Come on driver, let's go" Justin said and the driver started the car.All through the ride to Alex's house, Ana could not help but feel scared." What is Justin planning?" Ana asked herself. " What will Alex do to me after Justin is done with him? I'm scared"." Driver, speed up" Justin told the driver with fury in his eyes." I'm sorry sir, but here in country G we have a speed limit and I can't go past that speed" the driver said." Stop the car!!" Justin ordered." But sir we're not there yet and....."" I said stop the car" Justin ordered." But Justin....." Ana was interrupted by Justin." Stop the car or I'll seize your license" Justin threatened the driver and the driver stopped the car." Get out!!" Justin ordered as he got out of the passengers seat." But Justin you......"" Ana, shut up!!" Justin said. He pulled the driver out of the car and threw some money at him. " Take that and go home" Justin said." Thank you sir" the driver said and left." But Justin, you ......." Justin started the car at maximum speed limit." Aaaaaaaaaaaaah" Ana screamed as she swung from left to right in the car." Use your seatbelt, that's what it's for" Justin said not reducing the speed limit." Yes" Ana stuttered, she quickly put on her seatbelt and sighed of relief. She looked at the mirror in the car and saw that her hair was now a mess. " Oh geez"" We're here" Justin said and the car came to a halt." We .......we are here?" Ana stuttered. She was definitely scared of getting back into the house.Justin got out of the driver's seat and opened the door for Ana." Justin, I don't think it'll be a good idea for me to come with you" Ana said trying to avoid going into the house." Ana, don't be scared. I'm here for you" Justin said and extended his hand.Ana sighed before taking his hands and coming out of the car." It'll be alright, say it" Justin said as they walked into the house." It'll be alright, it'll be alright, it'll be alright" Ana chanted as they walked into the house." Sonya!!" Alex yelled." Sir!!" Sonya replied as she came down." Can you tell me why you did what you did?" Alex asked furiously." Do......do what?" Sonya asked scared." You ask me what?" Alex asked and gave her a slap which made her cry. " You went behind my back and got that woman released? "" I..... I didn't do anything sir. I didn't, I promise" Sonya lied crying." You foolish woman, you......" Alex said and made to hit her ." You hit her, you die!!" Justin walked in.Alex turned to see who had the guts to threaten him." You?" Alex asked turning to Justin." Yes, me. If you hit her, I'll have the martinis arrest you and seize everything you own" Justin said" Wow wow wow. Finally, I knew this day would come." He turned to Ana. " So you finally brought your lover home to threaten me. "" Alex I......." Ana tried to defend herself" Keep quiet!!!" Alex yelled. " Did you think I'll believe he's from the martinis?"" But.... He is from the martinis and........" Ana tried to say." Well then, have you ever seen his ID card? Because if you have, I'd like to see it too" Alex said." I don't have to show you my ID card" Justin said.''Then it means you're a fake. If you were real, you'd show me your ID card" Alex said not blinking." Ok then,.." he brought out his card. " Here you go" he showed Alex.Alex was shocked. He didn't believe that Justin Balor was really from the martinis, a high ranking one at that. Now he knew he'd f**ked up. What would Justin do to him now? He knew Justin could seize all his wealth and put him behind bars for all he'd done with just a single phone call. Now he was scared." What's wrong Alex? Are you shocked that I'm real? Now you know what I can do to you" Justin smirked and put his ID card where it belonged." Please, I'm sorry Ana. I'm sorry. Will you forgive me? I don't know what came over me?" Alex begged and went to kneel in front of her." Alex, what are you doing? Move away" Ana asked, moving away from him." That's not gonna save you Alex. The police will be here soon and they will be taking you away" Justin said looking at him with disgust." Please Ana, I beg you to forgive me" Alex said still on his knees.Ana looked at Justin and gave him the " should I? He looks sorry" look.Justin then replied him with a " do as you please, it's your life" look." Mr Balor, we're here" an officer and his team walked in." Good!! Arrest this man on the basis of violence and murder of an innocent baby" Justin said pointing at Alex.Immediately Justin said that, memories of the past flashed in. Her innocent baby, he died because of this monster. Now she felt disgusted." And who's baby has he murdered?" The officer asked.Alex looked at Ana and smiled, sure that his emotional drama had worked and he would go free." Mine. He has murdered my baby and assaulted me physically countless times" Ana said.Alex looked at Ana, shocked. This woman now had guts." They are lying sir, I have done nothing of that such" Alex said hoping the police would believe him." Sir, it's true. He always assaults anyone he comes across" Sonya said and Alex was dumbfounded.He never knew that a day would come when the tables would turn on him." Did you hear that? There are a lot of witnesses. Nothing can save you now" the officer said and handcuffed him. " Let's go" he said and his team took Alex away.Ana thought of everything that has just happened and ran up crying." Ana" Justin called and went after her." Ana" Justin called and went after her." Don't follow me" Ana cried and ran into her room while Justin followed her." Ana?" Justin called before locking the door and going to sit beside her on the bed. " Are you sad"" Justin!!" She put her head on his chest and embraced him tightly which made tendrils of her hair to fall on his face." Why are you crying?" Justin asked rubbing her back." I'm a terrible person Justin, I am" she cried.Justin just admired her. He inhaled her scent and was dazzled. " How can someone smell so nice despite coming out from a lock up?" He asked himself." Tell me, am I such a terrible person?" She asked. Tears welled up in her eyes, causing those ocean blue eyes to glisten." No Ana, you're not." Justin said. Her hair had now covered some part of her face so Justin tucked her hair behind her ear so he could get a better view of her beautiful face.Ana kept on saying things that Justin couldn't hear. Not because she wasn't loud enough, but because he was
Justin could not believe his eyes and ears. Did Ana just get Alex released? The man who had always assaulted her? Someone who killed her baby? Did she just release the man who landed her in the hospital? All these thoughts ran through his head. Here he was planning of keeping Alex in prison while he made Ana his but she ruined everything. He cursed inwardly and sighed." Thank you Justin for giving me the go ahead. I couldn't live with the guilt of having being responsible for my husband being put behind bars" Ana said as she held Alex's hand.Justin looked down to their hands and couldn't help but feel extremely jealous. He'd fallen head over hills in love with this woman and she didn't know." So this is what she was talking about earlier" he thought to himself. " Thanks dude" Alex said and walked over to Justin. " I promise that from today going forward, I will treat Ana with enough love and respect"Justin looked at him with disdain wondering what Ana saw in him that made her ge
" Alex?" Ana walked in. Lucky for Alex, he was backing her so she couldn't see his face which gave him time to change his facial expression." Ana?" He turned to look at her." I thought I heard you laughing?" She asked moving closer to him." Me? Maybe you heard wrong. I wasn't laughing but you know what?" He asked holding her by the waist." What?" Ana asked, shy." I'm very happy today. Today, things can finally go to normal. There will be no more assaults or fear between us. There will only be love" he said not letting go of her " Really?" Ana asked smiling. " Will there really be love between us?"" Yes. Only if you'll forgive me for all I have done to you" he said." Yes, yes, yes. I forgive you" she said excitedly. " I love you Alex" she said and embraced him in a tight hug." What a fool she is" Alex thought to himself. " If you think I'll forgive you for putting me behind bars, then you're wrong. I'll get back at you, even if it's the last thing I do but first, I'll have to
" food is ready!!" Ana said as she walked in with a tray containing two plates, two spoons and a bowl of noodles." Wow, so quick?" Alex asked, helping her keep the tray on the table." Yes. Noodles are not great deal" she replied smiling.Alex proceeded to seat on the bed. " I didn't know that" he said and gestured for her to seat beside him.She sat beside him and placed the tray on her laps." I was thinking we should go out for dinner, what do you think about that?" Alex asked." I think it's a good idea" she said and handed over a plate to him which contained noodles." I just think it's a way for me to say sorry as well as thank you for all I've done to you" Alex said and ate." Hmmmm, I'll go get ready'' Ana said and made to get up." No no, finish your food first" Alex said and she sat to eat.While eating, they chatted and discussed on so many things which made Ana feel happy that she got Alex released." Melanie" Ana called as she put the plates on the tray." Yes miss" Mela
" I'm ready" Ana said. She walked out in a red gown which stopped on her knees. It was flay and off shoulder. She put on silver heels and had her tied in a ponytail while some tendrils stuck on her face." How do I look?" She asked Alex." You look beautiful" Alex said." Thanks. Why aren't you changed yet?" Ana asked sitting beside Alex on the bed " I'll go get ready now." Alex said. He took out a purple shirt and a pair of blue jeans. " Wait for me downstairs, I'll be there in a sec"" Ok" Ana said, smiled and left." Ugh" Alex puked. " I hate this woman with passion. I'll stop at nothing until I make her life miserable" he said.He took some water and went into the bathroom.************************************************" Veronica, can I talk to you?" Alex asked calling Veronica aside." Yes sir" she walked over to him." Listen, while I'm away, I want you to take care of the house, alright"" Sure thing sir. " She said." Come on Ana. Let's go" Alex called." Sure. Let's go" A
" aaaaaaaaaaaaah, my head" Ana groaned in pain as she held her head in pain.She looked around the room and noticed that she wasn't in her room. She stood and made for the door, staggering. Suddenly, she remembered that she had gone out with Alex. She retreated and proceeded to the bathroom, hoping to find him and get a reasonable explanation from him. She checked the bathroom but couldn't find him. She saw her dress on the floor and that was when it dawned on her that she was not putting on her dress but she was only on her bra and panties. She quickly took her dress and put it on before staggering out of the room to go look for her husband.************************************************In another room, Alex was seen naked in bed with another woman who seemed to be in her late twenties." Wow, I never knew you were so good in bed" she said, looking at his below." I know. I've got a good brother" and they burst into laughter." You know, for someone who is being feared in all of c
" oh my goodness!!" Monica exclaimed." Who could have done such a thing?" Erica asked no one in particular." Did you see anything? Like the face or..... Just, anything that can help us to find ma'am" Sonya asked. At this point, she was the only one thinking of Ana in a sensible way. The rest were just being unreasonable." I..... I, I....." Veronica was feeling dizzy, clearly an effect of the sedative. " It was the martini guy, Justin" she said before passing out." Vero...... You take care of her, I'll go inform sir" Sonya said. She ran out of the room in such a hurry that she didn't see Alex walking in, causing her to bump into him." Are you crazy?" Alex yelled." I'm sorry sir" she said and made to leave. " Sir" she called, realizing that she'd just bumped into the same person that she'd being on her way to call." What?" Alex asked coldly." It's miss"" I wonder what could have gone wrong with that woman" he thought to himself and hissed. " What's wrong with her?" He asked, r
" I hate you more than I do the devil" she said looking at him with disgust." What are you saying my love" he asked, moving his face closer to hers. She looked away as a sign of irritation. " I love you"" And I hate you" she said, still looking away.He used his hands to turn her face to look at him." I doesn't matter how you feel about me Ana, what matters is that I love you and I always get whatever I want" he said with a smirk on his face. He let go of her face and stood. " You should never have rejected my love because if you hadn't, I wouldn't have had to do this to you" he said." I took you as a friend but what did you do? You kidnapped me from my matrimonial home and brought me to this place. Shame on you Justin!! Shame on you" she said as she spat." Enough! I said enough" Justin yelled. " One more word from you and I'll loose my cool" " What will you do? Huh? What will you do? Will you......" Before she could complete her statement, she received a resounding slap across
“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
