"Her husband is here.." the maidens of the Ekalot household mummur.
"He visits her now ? three months have passed." The maidens of three sighed in disgust.
"At least he's the first person to visit, her own twin sister is out there squandering her money, what a shameless whore." One of the maids hissed in disgust.
"Shameless indeed..." the maid whispered as Delilah's husband walked passed them, a brief eye contact was made with the maid that spoke last, she faintly bowed her head in respect the moment their eyes tore from each other they all glared at Dimitri.
He graced down the hall with his presence, power was obviously noticable as he struts down the hallway, power that wasn't even his to begin with.
He stopped at a destination, a white wooden door was the only thing in his way, acting sly he tucks in his shirt and runs his finger through his jet black curly hair. An uneasy breath of unease was heard with slight cough. Dimitri froze, he's seen the tabloids how he gave up on his marriage ever since Delilah woke up from a coma, how he was just only a trophy husband and without Delilah he's basically irrelevant.
He let the rumors stir up just to foolishly show how relevant he was, but the truth is he's only relevant with Delilah, that's the reason he had power and money anyways, he was Delilah's trophy husband.
He shook the thought off, fixing his hand on his door knob he thinks thoroughly on what he was going to tell Delilah, why did he take three months before visiting her, how was he going to handle her tantrums, he was nervous but he couldn't back up now, the paparazzi ambushed him on his way here.
"Delilah..." He twist the knob and pushes himself in to see Delilah dressed in a black night gown, she was midway brushing her pen in a thick black notebook, her almond colored eyes stuck on Dimitri, her was was expressionless and cold.
There was a minute of dead silence between the two, Delilah dropped her pen and carefully gets away from her study.
"Can I help you ?" Delilah pouted innocently hinting a slight irritation, Dimitri frowned arching a brow, his thoughts enveloped him, he was expecting a tantrum, a throw down or a slap or even a loud scream but Delilah was strangely calm.
"I...you..." Dimitri stuttered, he wasn't expecting this calm reunion, Delilah folded her arms and sighed.
"Would you stop looking like a pervert? Who the fuck are you and what do you want ?" Dimitri heaved a sigh of relief, that was the Delilah he knew but as he processed the words that came out of her mouth he gently stroked his chin slightly.
"Excuse me ?" Dimitri answered.
"It seems like you're deaf, Nathalie..." immediately a maid walked in between the two. "You called ?" her eyes focused on a confused Dimitri.
"Kindly walk him out of my room, if he persist, call security..." Delilah ordered. Nathalie looked at Dimitri and looked back at Delilah.
"Mistress Delilah, this is your husband should I still call security ?" Nathalie questions which made Dimitri more confused.
"Delilah, what's going on ? I don't understand, did you already divorce me without my knowledge ?" Dimitri blabbered leaving the room in a fog of confusion.
"Sir Dimitri, please follow me I will explain.." Nathalie whispered but he ignores her walking up to Delilah, he plants both his hands on her face with a tender gaze.
"Delilah, I'm sorry if you're upset then you're allowed to be, I shouldn't have taken time before I visited you.." before he could finish speaking she slapped his grasps away from her. "I don't know you.." she yelled with tears in her eyes, her eyes glimmer innocence and confusion.
"Get him out.." Delilah sobbed.
"Delilah please.." he tried reaching out to her but Nathalie came in between them. "Master Dimitri, please leave lady Delilah, she's unwell and needs test.." Nathalie explains. "No I need to apologise.." Dimitri persisted.
"What ever you need to apologise is invalid, listen to me lady Delilah is unwell..." Nathalie explains.
"What do you mean she's unwell she looks okay.." Dimitri says. "Let's talk outside please, you'll understand everything." Dimitri gives up, Delilah was sobbing and what he came here for wasn't to make her cry. He exits the room with Nathalie leaving Delilah alone they both stood outside the room, Dimitri spoke first, "What happened to my wife ?"
"Please forgive Lady Delilah, three months ago ever since she woke up from her coma, she's been diagnosed with systemized amnesia." Nathalie spoke bowing down her head.
"She lost all her her memory ?" Dimitri quivers. "No, she only lost a few, such as the death of her parents, Vlad and you..." Nathalie whispers the last part nervously.
"I don't understand.."
"Lady Delilah, doesn't have any memory of you, you are dead to her.."
The Ekalot household are the most prestigious household in the country, not only do their riches come from old money they are rumored to run the country making the president a mere puppet. Though this theory had been debunked many times it never left the mouth of the people.So when Delilah Ekalot the first daughter, announced her engagement to Dimitri, the country was left shocked. They were shocked because the person she was engaged to had no social status, neither power, Dimitri was just a Cook's son.Admist the engagement there were rumours Delilah was interested in women as she never set eyes for a man all that was debunked after her engagement to Dimitri.Dimitri was very handsome, his jet black curly hair, hazel colored eye's, delinquent smile and pe
Ever since Delilah slipped into a coma the Ekalot business was handed over temporarily to her next of kin, Dimitri. Fiona, Delilah's twin sister was supposed to have had the business passed to her since she was in fact the second offspring but Fiona was nor serious about the family business and Delilah removed her sister from getting access to the business, she gave Fiona an allowance so she could keep up with her spending but it was never enough. Fiona seemed to overspend no matter how much her allowance was budgeted.Delilah takes off her reading glasses, her finger tip massages her forehead. Since she finally returned to her office she's been going through the budget left to Dimitri's care due to her absence.Dimitri managed to pull it off, though there were some loses it was no matter, the business was doing well. Deli
"Thank you for joining me and my husband for breakfast dear sister.." Delilah flashes a smile at her sister. Fiona snarled quietly but then composes herself. "How could I object, food was involved.." Fiona shoves a piece of pancake in her mouth. "I'm surprised you booked a simple diner serving pancakes and call this breakfast." Fiona hissed.Delilah shrugged and leaned to give Dimitri a quick peck."Dimitri told me this was where we had our first date." Fiona rolled her eyes and puts on a pretense of vomiting because of the PDA Delilah and Dimitri were initiating."So basically this is my punishment then ? Couldn't you just frame me for murder and have me killed instead.." Fiona rolled her eyes, Delilah chuckled.
"Delilah.." Dimitri whispered leaning against the frames of the door of her office. She was drastically going through some documents in a rush. "Just a minute.." she echoed comparing some files, Dimitri sighed knowing his wife was a workaholic.He ran his finger through his curly hair heading towards her direction "your eyes have been..""Done." before he could finish his sentence she interrupted him."Thank goodness.." Dimitri grinned victoriously. "Dimitri ? It's kind of obvious, you don't like coming to the mansion, my parents house." Delilah mutters to Dimitri who looked unease.The Ekalot residence was a huge mansion in the best estate, it's housed countless generations and more, so it
Delilah normally got a check up from her family doctor, ever since she's been released from the hospital she's been taking several exams and test."Very good Delilah, you're improving, soon enough you'll start gaining your memories." The doctor said. "I'm glad." Delilah muttered, she overhears Fiona groan."Is that all you need ?" Delilah asks Fiona who already packed seven suitcase for her temporary stay with Audrey. Audrey was getting married in a different state, Delilah already booked a hotel for Fiona's stay. "I would have packed more but you limited my bags.." Fiona hisses."Your going to a wedding, you don't always have to be that stands out, humble yourself.." Delilah says with a calm smile, the doctor was jotting a few words while the sisters chat.
"How long has it been Fiona ?" Audrey immediately hugged Fiona who walked into the entrance of the luxurious hotel, it wasn't as Luxurious as a few of the hotels the Ekalot's owned.Fiona was too startled to hug Audrey back, Audrey was gently squeezing her, they both soon disembark from the hug.Their eyes met, one filled with tension and the other was almost emotionless."Audrey are you alright ?" Fiona reached out unsure of what to do with her hands, Audrey immediately backs up some spaces, it was actually a violent jerk that was displayed."Don't touch me." A tiny whisper escapes Audrey's lips, Fiona had no clue what was going on, but looking at Audrey's facial expression she looked tired, exhausted, her eyes were red, her skin was pal
A smirk rides on Theodore's face leaving a subtle chuckle, his expression seemed to terrify Fiona even more, he wasn't asking questions he just shortly stood close to the frames of the door simply being amused."I didn't kill her." Fiona immediately muttered, she didn't sound shaky, rather she sound confident mostly because she didn't kill Audrey."I know.." Theodore says walking up to the dead body. He visually studied her and shrugged. "Oh well she's dead." He turns back to see a bewildered Fiona."Given how much you despise me, Aren't you supposed to be taking me in ?" Fiona mutters to understand which side Theodore is, for one she knows he's not on her side."Well you didn't do it, just
Delilah was on her phone, she kept muttering one word at a time in unison. "I understand, is Fiona okay ?" Dimitri who was just letting himself into her office was suspicious. Delilah heaves a deep breath. "Thank goodness, can I talk to her ?" Delilah mutters, her expression looks devastated."Oh, I understand then request an autopsy, I don't want this case reaching the media until the results comes out. Thanks, later." Delilah says hanging up the call, her eyes met Dimitri who stared at her with curiosity."What happened to Fiona, did she get arrested again ?" Dimitri questions. "Yes, I've got to go.." Delilah hurriedly arranges her desk and quickly grabs her keys, Dimitri stood in front of her blocking her path."Is she okay what did she do this time ?" D
Fiona watched as one of the maids arranged her room, she sighed thinking about her last encounter with Thomas. She couldn’t stop thinking how flustered he made her she wished she at least got a moment to look him in the eye and after their last encounter she sure as well avoided him like a plague. The maids didn’t mind swarming him since Delilah didn’t give them a warning. Fiona leaned against her wall sulking, the maid in the room noticed but was too scared to start a conversation with Fiona. Infact everyone in the Ekalot didn’t chat much with Fiona unless she requested for them, this made Fiona quite lonely. If it was Delilah it would be a different case, The maids were unnecessarily close to Delilah.“Lady Fiona, I’m done.” The maid informed Fiona who was brought back to reality. Fiona nodded slowly moving towards her bed stand. ”Thank you” Fiona muttered and resumes to get lost in her thoughts. ‘’Lady Fiona, you seem disturbed ? Anything the matter ?’’ The maid proceeded to ask k
"I won't be reckless henceforth, I'll be careful." Fiona muttered calmly from the other side of the phone.Thomas sat down staring at the maniac in front of him. He was thinking to himself.How did she squander a whopping 7.5 trillion dollars if she was this smart ?She doesn't look stupid neither dense. The famous Fiona he heard rumors about was as fierce and reckless as her story was told.She was nicknamed Detroit's mad dog for a reason she was expensive to cater for and always caused chaos where ever she could cause one.It was refreshing to find out how tactical she was."Hey." Fiona yelled at Thomas who didn't realize he was staring more than he should. "What were you staring at ?" Fiona snarled. Thomas rethinks his conclusion, she's definitely not as calm as he gives her credit for. "Who else could it be ?" Thomas arched a brow which made Fiona blush a bit."We.. well stop staring at me. It's weird." Fiona weakly said as an
A lot ran through Theodore's mind, he didn't condone the game Delilah was playing but somehow she was always putting her life at risk and now his family had to join in the game. Sparking a not so dead beef between the Ekalots and the Schneiders. Theodore has even forgotten what even ignited the beef.He never one day hated Delilah, he admired her from TV since she was always praised in the news as a child prodigy. That was the reason he mostly schooled with her, back then she didn't notice him.Arielle asked to see Theodore, somehow she got access to contact him after he block her multiple times he was only going because he was aware of the dire situation.Arielle set the location to a park which is quite bold of her since she was exposed for leaking Dimitri and Delilah's tapes. Theodore felt a little sympathy because Delilah gave her word and never breaks it but she was pressured to release this so Arielle deserves every critic she got.She's fortunate t
Theodore walked into the Owen's domain, he's been busy with a private case he took to keep himself busy and working along side with Kobie debunking every rumor that Arielle might have spread. It wasn't easy because somehow, Arielle went around gossiping in either Malay or Cantonese, if Theodore knew any better he thought at most Arielle was literate with the alphabets. He wasn't aware she spoke other languages or at least several. He concluded he needed to look into her more she's getting too much to handle.He noticed Delilah frantically busy about watching Arielle's move. He knows Arielle had something to do with it. Delilah hadn't talked to him about it and Theodore didn't feel like prying her to talk if she didn't want to talk to him about it he'll wait.He memorably traced his footsteps down to him and Delilah's room. They basically shared a room and the same bed for that matter. Delilah took most of the space and Theodore was like a log on bed. At least he had to s
Fiona sat opposite Thomas who was busy on his tablet. He was residing at the Ekalots domain since he still had work to do for Delilah.The work that is, was forcing Dimitri to sign off his signature for a divorce. After requesting for an appeal Dimitri will finally be able to give off his signature.Thomas has been staying at one of the guest room, knowingly to Fiona, Thomas was a Casanova. Almost all the maiden's were swoon by him and kept granting his orders just to see his face.Thomas was fairly handsome, like Dimitri his hair was jet black was swiftly brush over his grey colored eyes. Probably that's why the ladies couldn't get enough of him, his eyes were alluring.He also had a mole underneath his eye but the maidens transformed the title to a beauty mark. They admired him even more, backing up his fairly handsome looks was his awfully suffocating charisma. It was inescapable to be reeled by him and that's why Fiona hated him she couldn't even give off the int
What happened earlier with Delilah was false, her earring wasn't bugged, it wasn't recording Arielle as well. She panicked and quickly brought it up to scare Arielle. She was sure Arielle wouldn't do anything for now, she didn't know how long it would be before Arielle called her for her. In the meantime she needed to teach Manfred a lesson so she phoned Fiona, she nervously tapped her fingers waiting for her to pick her call."Delilah ?" Fiona answers the moment the call went through. "Fiona, how are you ? How is the divorce coming along ?" Delilah asked. "Thomas is doing a good job but he won't let me know everything. Anyways Dimitri is yet to sign, Thomas had to get an appeal forcing Dimitri to sign it. The divorce will be processed probably a week from now." Fiona says.Delilah heaves a sigh of relief. "I'm glad everything is going smoothly, you still didn't answer my question. How are you ?" Delilah repeated the line went quiet almost immediately. Delilah real
It went Viral. A public school that hosted a roof party had collapsed. A total roll of 75 were injured some were severely and others slightly. Noemi broke her arm, followed with minor scratches. Other than that 15 people died. Noemi's boyfriend was tragically among those that died. More to the reason getting viral he was an uprising actor, very handsome and somehow managed to bag Noemi. Basically Noemi got him his first role because of her connections as Owen's daughter. The more Delilah thought about it, it sickeningly reminded her of her and Dimitri.His death didn't shock Noemi alone but the public as well. All it took was two days. Two goddamn days and the world seemingly forgot about him.Though Noemi received treatment immediately, her hand was bandaged in a Cast she was depressed having lost her boyfriend. Delilah insisted they go shopping partly urged by her aunt to get Noemi out of the house. It had been a week since she lost her lover so it's normal to mo
Arielle could read the unbothered look on Delilah's face. "You don't seemed convinced." Arielle's expression went bitter, she was pissed at the fact Delilah didn't seem to take her bullshit. Delilah realized forming an innocent smile. "Your threats are bullshit. Of course I'm not." Delilah hissed trying to look for another glass of white wine completely ignoring Arielle who couldn't stand it thought of it.Arielle tagged along with Delilah still. "Then you should know there are two hitmen in this room." Arielle spilled. Delilah turned to face Delilah hoping she would call it a bluff. Arielle wiggled a brow hinting she wasn't. "I convinced the Schneider's that you wouldn't listen to my warning. I convinced them you'll react to a more solid threat so they let me hire two hitmen. One assigned to you and the other to your cousin over there." Arielle narrated. Delilah grace the entire room unsuccessfully fishing out the hitmen. "Oh you won't find them even if you get Theodore to l
Two things went on Delilah's mind but she acted according to the one that pissed her off.Delilah spread her arms wide to welcome Arielle, she locks Arielle in some kind of half hug. They were barely close. "Oh come on Delilah is that how you receive an old friend." Arielle mouthed she was enjoying the irritation Delilah tried to wave off.When they were close enough Delilah leans in enough to whisper to Arielle. "It this goes any longer I don't mind not letting you go off easy." Arielle already knew she was talking about the recording of her admitting to leaking the tapes.Immediately Arielle withdrew from the hug but still graze the back of her palm against Delilah's cheek."You look beautiful as always, I'm jealous.." Arielle withdraws her palm and proceeds to dust off the foundation she got on the back of her palm."Oops, Delilah." Arielle locked eyes with Delilah who didn't show a reaction. "It's okay Miss Myers, you didn't entirely ruin my make up.
