Estella's POVThey didn't want to make noise, so the robbers won't know there is a disorder in their rank. Jeff heard what others didn't hear. He knew they wondered if he wasn't normal. "We ask you to get us a car else, we kill hostages here!" The leader's voice came in again."Listen, sir! I already told you what will happen if you kill anyone in there." Jeff said. "I am serious, we will kill them," the leader said."Stop it, man." Another voice came through the line. "They are offering us a chance to get out. I knew it was a bad plan to have followed you. You never make anything right.""Could you have come up with a better plan?" The leader said. "I told you. Now we are surrounded. We could have continued with our street robbing. But you had a dream." The voice came through again. "You didn't want to leave the hood? This is supposed to be a one- time thing. I didn't know it would get to this." The leader said."Then let's drop these guns and surrender." The other robber plead
Estella's POV"Henry! His name is Henry!" Dan said "You better shut up," Damon said to his brother. "I can help you here man. I am your last hope. Your only hope." Jeff said. "I could clear you of all charges. I can write that these people were not killed by you. They were resisting and tried to hurt me and other hostages''Jeff stopped to see his reaction. He saw that his words were causing the exact reactions he wanted. "I could get you a very good lawyer and we can make it seem like you were under the influence of drugs. That's just a few years. So will you please put the gun down?" Jeff pleaded. "No! Man I don't trust your words. You are just like every other cop. Your kind killed my dad," Henry said."Listen young man! I am sorry for what happened to your dad." Jeff said. He told Henry's brother to move away from the door. He pushed it towards Ted. Ted grabbed him, pinned him, and handcuffed him. "Leave my brother alone," Henry said."He will be fine," Jeff said whispering
Estella's POVThe flower girl lined the path with white rose petals as the music started. I only took two steps out before I was greeted by my father. He escorted me down the aisle, which seemed longer than before. He became my strength; without him I would faint. The guests looked at me, taking pictures of my dress, waving at me, smiling- one thing was for sure, though… no one made a sound. Up ahead I saw him, Adrian. My future husband, the love of my life, my everything. He stood taller, his shoulders back and his eyes on me. If I wasn’t mistaken I could have sworn tears filled his eyes.Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today (or this evening) to witness this man and woman join together in holy matrimony.”"I have a speech to say to the audience but to my wife in particular." Adrian addresses the cheerful gathering as he is applauded. "One of the greatest achievements that I have made so far is making you my wife today. Words can't explain how much you mean to me babe, I love y
Estella’s POV I repeat for the last time, is there any reason as to why this couple can't get married? Speak now or hold your peace and forever remain silent." The priest says as Adrian and I smile lovingly at each other."Okay, there is none. I would like the maid of honor and the best man to the groom to come forward and help with the mic as these two take their vows today." Just as the priest wants to start, someone interrupts the wedding."What the hell!?" Everyone turns around to see who it was. Adrian is shocked on seeing this woman come in with a kid beside her, both of them had facecaps on and used nose masks as well so one really knows who she is except Adrian. She looks young and the boy looks like a two year old."Adrian? Getting married? Again??" The woman says which leaves everyone puzzled. “I must separate both of you, this wedding wouldn't hold.” Everyone has the expression of, "Was he married before? Who is she? What is between them?" The entire crowd looks surpris
Estella’s POV I balled my fist, blinking my eyes with fury, the tears were slowly drying up, I was trying hard to be strong here. The only thing I could do to hurt them was to teach them a lesson, Adrian especially so he learns not to pretend to be in love with a woman when he already has another woman he loves in secret. “I didn't even know this is the junk food you've been feeding on for a while now,” she shrugged her shoulders, smirking and pulling herself backward as though she was seeing a disgusting sight. My heart boiled, hearing her call me junk food. I stepped forward. “You think he loves you? Huh?” “If he truly loves you, why did he have to keep you a secret until now?” I thought really well this would hurt her and also expose Adrian but he left Sophia to focus on me. “Making the marriage public as at the time she got pregnant would have caused a really big scandal for me. I knew better than that and being secret couples couldn't stop me from showering her with all the
Estella’s POV He has seen it! His phone was the closest to mine, he should see it.“So you still defied my order and went ahead to do this? Don't be silly, you didn't mention my name so no one will know it's me.” I laughed so hard, my voice lingering in the room, then I pulled over a frown. “How many bosses do I have? Am I not your current assistant and escort?” I asked this and he suddenly got speechless, his sickened face returned to the phone in his hands. “Goodness! A million views within just a few minutes?” My heart fluttered upon hearing this. Adrian lifted his face, shaking his head. “You think you've done it, right?” He walked forward. “I wanna let you know this is just the beginning.” He wasn't done with his statement when I heard sirens. The cops had arrived. Tension pulled up straight through my chest and I became stiff. Surely, he had power. He had the power to call the cops on me when he was at fault, when he was the one that assaulted me, together with Sophia. I
Estella’s POV It was so embarrassing having him see me in such a miserable, downcast state. I recalled how many times I'd bluntly refused him when he came pleading to be with me again. He divorced me on the day I was confirmed to be pregnant with quadruplets and he took in my twin sister as his wife. Sometimes later, I discovered he was under a threat from no one but Adrian to let go of me, since he didn't treat me well while we were married, I didn't want to have anything to do with him. I thought Adrian was the most perfect man for me, I gave him a chance, he never disappointed, not until this very moment. When I heard the metallic door of my cell room opening, my nerves grew stiff. Cameron was coming in, the very person I was trying to avoid. I was shy and so ashamed of myself. It was really bad for him to see me this way after eight years. So, I wasn't mistaken. He was the cop from yesterday. “Estella!” His voice sounded so gentle and sympathetic. I raised my face. He handed m
Estella’s POV Adrian's threats slowly began playing in my mind one after the other. “Mom!” I heard their four voices ring out at once. Seeing me, their faces got captured with shock and pain. They then shifted their gaze to the rocky cop by the wall. “Good morning–” Alvis’ attempt to greet Cameron which would have been followed by his siblings got caught up in a wave of shock. He looked at his siblings as they exchanged glances with each other. “Mom!” They dashed towards me, staring at Cameron from the bed I sat on. “Mom, is this dad?” Gervis asked, staring with her eyes balled out. “Why do we share a similar face?” Jarvis demanded to know. I want to tell them at this moment that he's their dad but my voice choked and no word could come out of my mouth. Cameron began walking towards them, his face slightly lowered as he kept on staring at my kids. His jaw dropped and his arms which he folded so tight over his chest released. He wanted to say something further, to ask some other
