"stay with me for 2 weeks, and i will offer you the deal you are here for, then you can leave freely or i will lock you here and you will never leave”. the words kept echoing on my head unstop. ‘ what have i gotten myself into’ ‘God no’ i stood there frozen ‘so I'm trapped’ ‘this wasn't the plan’ he is clearly threatening me, leave freely or be trapped forever. What does he really want? What happened to Harriet?, isn't she with him again?. As I approached the door, attempting to step out, I noticed the door was locked from outside. ‘it's definitely over’ “Elvis let me outttttt!!!!”. I screamed but received no response. ‘oh God, taught he has moved on, he broke up with me himself for crying out loud’ I continuously banged on the door but received no response. I slumped against the door, tears streaming down my face, fear gripped me, the thought of my daughter fuels my vulnerability even more. What will happen if he finds out about her?. stay with him for 2 weeks? what for? he isn't giving me any chance. Why does he always do this, always threatening me to get what he wants? i promised to go back to canada in 3 days time, now i have to stay for 2 weeks? I stood up, cleaned up my face and picked up my phone to call Rolex. “Hi, Meave" the voice came over immediately the call connected. “how are you doing, how is it going over there”. “It's all fine, uhmm.. i have a little personal issue to settle here, so i might not be coming back for sometime” i said going straight to the reason i called. “Are you alright?”. he asked, noticing I'm sounding off. I know it's definitely obvious in my voice. “no..no I'm fine, i just need to settle some issues before coming back to Canada, help me talk to shally, i know she will be very disappointed”. I said , trying to sound calm and composed. “Maeve, if you need anything or someone to talk to, you can always come to me, okay?" he replied gently" and as for shally i will handle her, take your time okay?”. As I hung up the phone, a mix of emotions flooded my being. Happiness washed over me, thinking about Rolex's kindness and understanding. Regret pierced my heart, wondering what could've been if I hadn't come back for this project. Sadness lingered, knowing I still have to face Elvis. Rolex's words echoed in my mind: "Take your time." His support felt like a lifeline, a reminder that I wasn't alone. I felt grateful for his presence, his empathy, and his support. sitting here won't solve anything. I stood up, planning to go freshen up, when the door suddenly opened and the servant walked in carrying a food tray, while a bodyguard trailed behind her. She placed the tray on a nearby table, her expression normal. "Your meal, ma'am," she said softly before leaving, peaking through the door, I can see a glimpse of the bodyguard obviously keeping watch outside the door. ‘So I'm a prisoner now?’ i thought with a bitter smile ********* I don't know how long I have been sleeping but I felt a heavy weight pressing down on me, making it hard to breathe or move. I tried to shift him gently but he didn't seem to dodge, still deep in slumber, unaware of my discomfort. As I gazed at his face, I noticed a slight resemblance to my daughter, the similarity tugging at my heartstrings making me feel a hint of sadness. Having him sleeping in my arms feels so weird. I can't help but wonder how I got to this stage. He draws closer, his face coming in very close contact with mine, sending a shiver down my spine. Suddenly, his lips brush against mine, which shocked me into stillness. For a moment, I'm frozen, unsure of how to react. His eyes suddenly locked onto mine, his gaze still heavy with sleep, yet with a playful smirk on his face which told me he had done it on purpose, I felt a flush rise to my cheeks. I quickly pushed him, and he tumbled out of the bed, his laughter echoing through the room. as he laughed i couldn't help but wonder what he found so funny, the situation? my reaction? or something else entirely?. His carefree laughter was infectious, i tried maintaining a stern look, but ended smiling instead.

Tessa pov“huh, no” i replied‘it can't be pregnancy right’ I muttered to myself trying to convince myself so hard that it's not pregnancy she rushed to my side, helping me to my feet. "Let me get you some water, madam."I nodded, still feeling queasy. As she handed me a glass, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror—pale,and disheveled."How...how did you know?" I asked, referring to the "morning sickness" she mentioned before sipping the water.She smiled knowingly. "I've seen it before, madam. My sister had the same symptoms with her first child."AaAs much as I am trying to remain calm, I still felt a mix of emotions wash over me: fear, excitement, and uncertainty."Please, don't mention this to anyone," “your secret is safe with me ma” she replied After I rinsed my face and brushed my teeth, she carefully helped me back to bed."Shall I bring you some crackers and ginger tea, madam?" she asked nicely “No, thank you, i will be fine, you are a lifesaver” i said gratefully

As for Elvis i haven't heard from him for years, most times i do wonder what his life is like now,Is he married to Harriet?, probably living his best life with the woman he chose.After returning the house and property, Rolex told me about private investigators preying into my life, but due to his stro

I felt like the ground should open and swallow me. My eyes scanned the room frantically, searching for somewhere far from him to sit. but i guess luck wasn't on my side today, every seat was taken, except for one – directly facing Elvis. I hesitated, before walking towards the seat and sitting. I felt like I was daydreaming, with Elvis's piercing gaze watching my every move. As I sat down, I tried to compose myself, reminding myself that I had a purpose for being here. I would finish what I came for and leave peacefully, without making a scene. But it was hard to focus with Elvis sitting across from me, not intending to divert his gaze. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. I told myself. I would finish my task and leave, without letting Elvis's presence get the better of me. But as I glance

Tessa's povAs I settled into the taxi, a smile still plastered on my face due to my daughter's cheerful voice. I buckled my seatbelt while still giggling with my daughter.just as we were about to pick up speed, a sharp screech pierced the air, making me jolt, I looked out of the window to see what had caused the commotion.“Mamma, are you alright?" my daughter asked, noticing my slight action."Hold on, baby, Mummy will call back soon," I said, before quickly ending the call. I stepped out of the taxi, my eyes scanning the scene before me, still in shock.The taxi driver was cursing under his breath, frustrated. My gaze landed on the two Bentley cars standing in front of us, their sleek designs and tinted windows radiant in the sunlight. The drivers of the Bentleys didn't bother to come out or open the rearview mirrors, seemingly indifferent to our presence.Suddenly, the second car honked, and the rearview mirror opened, revealing Elvis's handsome face.

Elvis POV As she sat beside me, I couldn't help but give her a glance. She looked more beautiful than I can remember, in good shape and fairer, the emotions swirling inside me are unexplainable. I promised Harriet that I will marry her, but I can't seem to move on from her. Despite all my efforts, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I still want her. i missed her, her innocent looks, her gentleness. blocking her car from moving, manipulating her into my own vehicle, it all seemed so irrational. There's no tangible reason for doing that, except for the fact that I don't want her out of my sight again after so many years. I can't bear the thought of it. so i had to come up with the business deal she came back for, hopefully that will stall her.Then I noticed her gaze on my hands, specifically my ring finger.
