Mommy, I've found daddy. CHAPTER ELEVEN
ELLA'S POV“Yes or yes?” Xavier’s words hung in the air, heavy and suffocating. The weight of his offer, the audacity of it, made my blood run cold. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, each beat reminding me of the enormity of the situation. I wasn’t ready to give in to him. Not now, not ever.But as I opened my mouth to speak, to tell him exactly what I thought of his manipulative proposal, the door creaked open, and Mr. Anderson stepped into the room. My words caught in my throat as I glanced at Xavier, wondering how he would react.“Mr. McKinney,” Mr. Anderson began, his voice almost reverent. “I just wanted to make sure everything is proceeding smoothly with our plans—”Xavier’s gaze didn’t leave mine as he raised a hand, cutting off Mr. Anderson mid-sentence. “You’re dismissed,” he said, his tone commanding and dismissive all at once.I watched, astonished, as Mr. Anderson faltered for a moment, looking almost like a scolded child, before nodding quickly and retreating fr

ELLA'S POV I looked up to find myself staring into the eyes of Xavier McKinney. Of course, it had to be him. My heart leaped into my throat as his hands gripped my arms, holding me upright. The intensity in his gaze was almost too much to bear, and for a moment, I was frozen, trapped between the urge to pull away and the undeniable pull he had on me.“Ella,” he said, his voice low, filled with something I couldn’t quite place. “We need to talk.”I swallowed hard, forcing myself to breathe as I nodded. “I—okay. Just… let go of me.”He released me slowly, his fingers trailing down my arms before finally letting go. I stared at Xavier, trying to keep my composure as he stood there, his gaze locking onto mine with an intensity that made my heart race. "Why act like a stranger, Ella? We both know what happened that night wasn’t just a fluke. It was real—undeniable."His words hit me like a punch to the gut. I fought the urge to look away, to avoid the way his eyes seemed to pierce through

ELLA'S POV “Mommy why is Mr Halpern here with our things?” I heard Ivy say as she tugged at my fingertips. I stood frozen in my own tracks as I watched my most dreaded scene play before my eyes. Mr Halpern, my die-hard Landlord, was back again. He was very strict when it had to do with his rent's pay. My rent had gone due just today and he was already getting ready to kick me out.“Here are your bags,” Those were the only words I received from those cold lips of his. Mr Halpern possessed a short stout figure, draped in a disheveled grey suit and a ridiculous tangled moustache. “I don't understand, why are you kicking me out already my rent's just due by a day.” I managed to express a little out of the numerous emotions I had flowing in my bloodstream. Mr Halpern's stout figure pulled closer, “Well, if you had responded to the 35 mail I sent to you to pay your rent before it goes due, we wouldn't be having this conversation.”A smirk escaped my lips as I exhaled deeply trying to main

EllA'S POVTHE NEXT DAY."Grin, grinn!" The loud buzzing of my alarm clock rang into my ears causing me to pull from my once peaceful sleep. With a disoriented yawn, I stretched my fingers in an attempt to turn off the alarm.And just when I thought I did, the ringing ceased. My eyelids opened slowly, my weak eyes adjusting to the piercing sunlight from the windows. My eyes opened to the cute view of Ivy, my daughter."What are you doing, sweetie?" I asked, my voice coming out as an hoarse whisper as I pinched her cheeks softly. "Wake up, mummy. I have school, remember?"My eyelids chimed open slowly, this time, meeting the piercing determination in Ivy's eyes. No trace of sleep lingered in her bright eyes. With a soft sigh, I pushed the covers aside and helped her get dressed. After selecting her outfit, I watched her walk out of her closet dressed in a pink gown and leggings. After that was done, I proceeded to fixing her hair in a neat ponytail. With my comb running through the

XAVIER'S POVRhea's voice was like nails on a chalkboard, “I’m far better than Ella in every way. I could give you everything she can’t.” Her lips moved closer, her intentions clear.As she made an attempt to kiss my lips, I couldn't help but notice the glints of desire glistening in Rhea's eyes. She was obviously jealous of my interest in Ella and had been trying to get my attention ever since. I noticed my response to her actions had a toil over Ella. The only reason I continued was to make Ella jealous and see where this act could lead on to.I caught her wrist before she could close the gap, a smirk tugging at the corner of my mouth. But then, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Ella standing at the door. I hesitated, and then, on impulse, I let go of Rhea's wrist and pulled her in for the kiss she was so desperate for. It was all for show, all to provoke, to remind Ella of something that still lingered between us.Ella didn't make a sound, but I could see the way her eyes wid

CHAPTER SIXTEENELLA'S POVI woke up to the first ray of sunlight, the golden brown sunlight piercing into my eyelids. With a disorient yawn, I stretched my arms lazily as I felt a wave of tiredness hit my insides. For a moment, I just laid there, letting my mind cool off on the series of events today held. Today was the charity event day, and as much as I've been planning it, my mind was still a tangled mess. I yawned again, this time raising my body as I tried to wipe off the remnants of sleep.The clock, if i was currently, read 6:00 AM. Early, but I was used to it now. The event launches at the evening of today, a strategy to have all our schedules guests present. Today, I needed every extra minute to get ready. This event was my chance to prove myself, not just to the hospital but to everyone who had ever doubted me—including myself.I slid out of bed, the cold tile floor bracing my feet in a chilling embrace as I padded my way over to the bathroom. After bathing, I proceeded to

ELLA'S POV I glided briskly as I made my way past the hallways in the direction of Mr. Anderson's office. As I progressed through the hall's walls, I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over me. Mr. Anderson's call was another testimony to confirm the rumors.Rhea had always been like this towards me, cruel, cold and jealous. I still couldn't place the reason she was jealous of me, my life was just as imperfect as any other nurse in the hospital. I felt a twinge of anger—Rhea had always been a thorn in my side, and it seemed like she’d found a new way to undermine me.As I finally arrived at the entrance of the door, my breath hitched in my chest, anxiety growing in my veins. I sighed deeply, reassuring myself that Rhea's accusations were going to be an easy squeeze. But a glance at the double doors of Mr. Anderson's office gave me a reason to rethink it.From the transparent glass, I could see Mr. Anderson mouthing some words in which I couldn't quite read. I ran my fingers

ELLA'S POV I was standing near the balcony, gasping for air and steadying my nerves. I could see the evening was coming and the charity event was in full swing, however, my brain was still spinning from the day's events. I needed a moment, just a few minutes of peace from the distress that had been going on in me since the day… well, since that kiss. But then I heard him before I saw him. Xavier. His presence was like a storm, which could be seen from miles away. The atmosphere around me was becoming a little bit heavier with his arrival. I didn’t turn around, nor did I acknowledge him, but he was not the kind of man you could easily ignore."So, you’re hiding now?" His voice was velvety, tinged with that arrogant charm he wielded with ease. "You know, it is not like you to run away, Ella."I took a slow, deep breath while my eyes were focused on the city lights through the glass. "I’m not hiding," I said, my voice steady. "Just… taking a break." He came nearer, filling the room wi

LUCAS'S POV I couldn't believe it.My father actually shot me.How dare he?Before I could react, I felt a sharp prickling pain in the part of my arm the bullet had been logged into. A loud groan rolled out of my lips as I winced loudly and closed my eyes to subdue the pain. My eyes reddened as I felt my knees buckle as fatigue spiraled into my veins.With my heart racing in my chest, I felt blood ooze out of my body as I began to feel dizzy. I tried to hold on to my gun, to shoot, but my fingers gave out weakly. Groaning once again, I stretched my uninjured hand and gripped the edge of the long meeting table. My fingers scratched against the table's rough textures as I opened my eyes.My lashes flustered open and the first sight I caught was that of him. The president. My own father. He was danding opposite me, his arm still raised with the edge of his bullet oozing out smoke.Blowing it out like a professional, he tucked it back into his pockets and shot me a glance. His eyes shimm

XAVIER'S POV As I jammed my eyes close, I heard the loud barking sound of the gun as a bullet launched in my direction. My heart palpitated in my chest as I heaved out a heavy sigh and edged away from the spot before it could get anywhere near me.If I was going to win this election and actually come out victorious as the winner, I had to be sharp witted. Lucas's gun was well aimed and one miscalculated error could cost me my life. I ducked over as I rolled over to the other side of the room, as my back rolled over the floor, I quickly got back on my foot and clenched my fists. “Lucky you, I still have 3 bullets Xavier. I can go on all day, let's see how many bullets you can dodge.” The sharp, gritty beam of his voice beamed into my ears as I stiffened. A sharp shot of adrenaline launched into my veins as a cold chill ran down my spine. Slowly, I muster up the courage to open my eyes and when I finally did, I heard a sound.It first sounded like a creak but later, it soon morphed i

XAVIER'S POV “Security!” A loud beam tore through the fog of tension in the room as I paused in my tracks. My lips pulled into a dark grin and my eyes darkened as I shot a glance at my assistant, Alex, who stood close to the screen, fidgeting like a winter leaf. “Have you fixed it?” I asked, my voice calm and steady as a lump of adrenaline formed in my chest. Taking in a slow whiff of air, I sigh and rolled my eyes as rage pooled into my vein.My clenched fists tightened as I maintained my stance, arms tucked around each other. Staring back at his lean figure, I waited patiently, holding onto an imaginary string of restraint as I felt my patience wear off.There wasn't much time left. I had to get this done with.“You know what? Pass it over!” I lashed out in a rising tone that had him flinch fearfully as he stretched his hands and passed the phone over to me. I received it sharply with my fingers wrapping around the structure of my phone as I heard the sound of boots stomping aga

XAVIER'S POV My heart raced in my chest as heavy gasps of air rippled through my lips. Nothing in God's green earth could have warned me of what was about to come. I clenched my fists tightly and sighed as the announcer’s gaze raked over my features. As I felt the scrutiny of his gaze brush over my features, I raised my head and stared back at him.The announcer's eyes twitched as I met his gaze. Something in his eyes warned me. I could read his emotions like pages of a book. His eyes glistened with remorse and as I took note of the glints in his eyes, I noticed something. It was dark and shaky. A glint. Before I could decipher what it really was, his eyes wavered off my figure and darted in the direction behind me.My head dropped as fatigue licked at my bones. I tried to hold it in, to ignore it but it glared right back at me. I already knew my fate. It was obvious he had been bribed or even threatened by Madame Browne and Lucas.It was already crystal clear now.In this game, I wa

XAVIER'S POV When it was time to cast the votes, I watched the shareholders all turn towards one direction. His direction. They all headed towards the board and slowly, I watched them pace towards the box for Lucas. He sat at the end of the room, his eyes glistening with contempt as Madame Browne's hands snaked around his shoulders.Her gaze loomed over my figure. I felt my heart race in my chest as the first shareholder to be called out, voted for Lucas. The voter in question walked back to his seat with his head lowered in shame. Disappointment flashed in my eyes as rage seared into my veins but I held myself back.Closing my eyes, I whispered to no one but myself, “We can do this Xavier.” I tried to believe my own words but the question that lingered in my chest was could I really do it? Madame Browne and Lucas seemed to have sealed the lips of most of the shareholders. It was obvious they had bribed some of them.I could tell.The pale look etched into the face of the others gav

ELLA'S POV I was ready for what was about to come.I knew where this would lead me and I wasn't scared to strut in its path. The smell of lavender reeked into my nostrils as I sniffled softly, my chest heaving. I clutch my hands to my sides as my fingers fisted the sides of my dress for comfort but I received none.The fabric of my dress braced the back of my palm. At first, my grip was uptight but with time, my palm soon became greasy with perspiration. I began to lose my grip over the loose fabric of my dress.I tried to hold on. To have it stay longer but before I knew it, the fabric faded I could still feel the nerving sensation the edge of her dagger sent through me. It lashed through my insides, waves sliding down my spine as I steeled myself for what was about to come. I knew it was already going to be like this someday.My eyes were closed but I could feel the flaming warmth of her breaths. It hit me, hot and blazing. The warmth saddled away all the hope I had left.I waite
Mommy, I've found daddy. CHAPTER 263
ELLA'S POV My chest heaved heavily and so did my lungs. Each whiff of air they sucked in now burned like fire. A low shudder rippled through my lips as I dragged my feet forward. My legs made a low twigged sound as I paced forward in her direction.I could've sworn my bones were pulling me back. It all seemed like the loads of fear I had logged in at the back of my mind were now caving in on me. It had all gotten so heavy that I was struggling to maintain a proper stance.My eyes brace her figure as a surge of adrenaline pooled down my shoulders. This wasn't a matter of mouth talk any more. It was a matter beyond speeches and media interviews.This was a matter of life, death and the ruination of the McKinney family.I couldn't allow them to win. No. “So..” I heard a beam and my breath hitched in my chest. My fingers shivered as I gripped my chest in an aim to steady the heavy beating of my heart. A visceral tug of fear loosened in my chest as I watched Rochelle bring out her dagger

XAVIER'S POV When I saw Ella sprint towards me, my heart jumped in my chest. Shock reeled through my veins as my breath hitched. I opened my lips to say something, to say anything but nothing came out. Questions flooded my mind. I wanted to ask her why she was here. How she got here and why she was running like she was being chased but even before I could ask her a question, she beamed.“Here. Have this. Go in now. Play the video to the shareholders.” I stared back at her with a face as pale as a blank sheet. I raised my brows in confusion as a sense of urgency and fear locked in my chest. I opened my lips and tried to force out my voice. When it finally rolled out, it was in a hoarse whisper, “W… what do you—”Of all the times I expected my vocal chords to work, they chose to bail out on me when I needed them the most. I guess Ella's sudden appearance was what overwhelmed me. It better be it. If not, it had to be the nerving sense of danger that encircled me.From the frequency of

ELLA'S POV As Rochelle stepped into the elevator, I dipped my phone in my phone and stiffened. My heart raced hard and pounded erratically in my chest. Sweats trickled out of my pores and as it did, I felt a wave of fear sear down my spine.She was on to me.Her eyes were as dark as coal.Her fists were as firm as rocks.As she inched closer towards me, I paced backwards. My feet dragged backwards slowly and as it did, I nearly lost my stance. My back crashed into the hard surface of the elevator's walls. As my back crashed into it, I felt a twig snap as I opened my eyes slowly to find her standing in front of me.Fear coursed into my vein and I stiffened. I opened my lips to speak but as I did that, nothing rolled out. No words. Nothing.My lips quivered as shuddering puffs of air came out. My hair now clung to my sweaty face. The discomfort that came from having strands of my hair cling to my face was nothing compared to the one I felt with Rochelle near me.She was dangerous and I
