"Hmmmmmm, this is the advantage of having someone else in the house", without taking off any of her clothes Gabriella sat on one side of the table and began devouring this sumptuous meal while moaning in sweetness. "You could not wait to ask for who cooked the food before jumping on it like an angry lion that haven't eaten for days". Eleana said with a laugh as she walked into the room holding a jug of pineapple juice. Gabriella paused and looked up with a guilty expression as she chewed slowly on the piece of meat in her mouth. She gulped and dropped the spoon in her hand then stood up, walked quickly to Eleana and gave her a big hug and a peck on the cheek. "Thank you my darling f

"Just taste the food Eleana, it's not poison", Strengthening her resolve Eleana took a bold step and took a bit of the cheese and chewed slowly.

Earlier he had told one of the teachers to let the children know someone was here to pick them up and he specifically asked her to tell them it was their mother, knowing the smartness of his eldest child it is wise to not tell her he is here. Taking another look at his watch, Dane turned his eyes back to the gate just in time to see both of his children, Georgina and Isabella running forward with their teacher strolling behind them, he was struck by the happy smiles on their faces, it has been a while since he last saw them this happy, he was hardly at home and well.... he took a few steps closer to them.

Eleana rushed to the Elevator but it had gone up already, unable to wait she took the stairs and ran up as fast as she could. The doctor was speaking to Dane when Eleana got to where they were. Seeing the doctor talking to Dane, Eleana knew he must be the one that attended to Georgina. "Doctor, doctor, how is she? how is my daughter doing? Where is she?", she bombarded the doctor with questions as she grabbed him tightly. "Calm down Madam, she is fine. You are the mother?", "Yes, where is she? Can I see her now?", "She is currently unconscious, it seems she hit her head on the ground hard but she is fine, the young man on the other hand, not so much

Eleana rushed into the hospital room, closely followed by the teacher and her mother-in-law. Her heart racing with worry, seeing Georgina laying motionless in the bed surrounded by beeping machines and sterile walls, tears welled up in Eleana's eyes as she grasped Georgina's hands and kissed it, wishing she would wake up soon. "How did this happen?", Eleana demanded turning to look at the teacher who stood beside her with, looking guilty and worried. "Tell me everything".

"Is that....?", Gabriella inquired pointing to the bed. Looking at the direction she was pointing at, Eleana smiled gently and nodded. "Yes, that's Isabelle". "Oh my gosh, she is breathtaking!", Gabriella marveled she walked closer to look at the sleeping Isabelle. "Hmm, but why are there two beds in the room, isn't this supposed to be a private ward", "Yeah about that, apparently the man that saved Gabriella from being hit with the car stayed in the room with her. I think he requested for it", Eleana stated. "Speaking of which, I didn't ask for his contact or name so I can thank him properly ". "Ahh, yeah, he definitely deserves a proper "thank you" from us.......," noticing Eleana's exhausted expression, the grey dress she wore only made her more pitiful, Gabriella continued, "Right! You haven't eaten right and you will probably need a change of clothes too, I came here straight from work after I got your call and forgot about this". "It's okay, I can just wear this ag

"Your Honour, these are the evidence to back up his claim", Attorney Baxter said as he handed a copy of the pictures to he Judge and the media tech. The images were displayed on the screen. The first one was kinda dark, but the face of Eleana in the embrace of a man who's face was bot taken, was clear for all to see, the picture even captured the children sitting inside the car. This changed the people opinions again, some that had believed Eleana was already jumping the fence. _How could she be so loose?__ That was the thought that passed through most of the people's mind. Eleana felt as if she was drenched in cold water. "Isn't that the stranger that was walking on the road", she thought, looking intently at the picture until realization dawned on her. "I see...So he was a setup?", she asked no one in particular as she muttered under her breathe. She didn't view the stranger as someone that was hired for a job like that, he looked too _mighty_ for that, in anyway the ph

"Mr Dane please answer the question", Attorney Baxter said to Dane, giving him signals to repeat what they had practiced the day before.

What the hell is this sound?? Did a bug enter the boss's phone?__He wondered, surprise etched on his face, but this was only the beginning.

Attorney Baxter stood up with a file in his hand; "Mrs.Eleana, you said, you and Mr. Dane has been married for seven years now, correct?", he asked. "Yes, we have", Eleana replied curtly. "And in these seven years, how much have you contributed to the growth of your family, financially?", the lawyer asked again. Eleana furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "I don't understand", she stated. "Okay, let me rephrase that", the lawyer said as he walked closer to her. "In these past years, how much money have you contributed to foot your household bills?", "Objection your Honour, the question is irrelevant", Attorney Liana objected. "Your Honour, I am about to show it's relevance", "Sustained, the witness may answer the question", the Judge said to Eleana.Eleana realized where the lawyer was getting at, she hadn't spent a dime of her money on anything and that might give off the idea that she is irresponsible and incapable of taking proper care of her children.

“You may continue”, the Judge said. “Thank you, Your Honour. Mrs Eleana, many of us in the court may wonder, why didn’t you leave when the abuse began or was there something else that kept you there?”, “My children", Eleana replied without much thought. “I didn’t have a father while growing up and I know how that feels, I didn’t want my children to ever experience the pain of losing a father, so no matter how Dane treated me, I stayed, for my children” “And why did you decide to leave now?”, Attorney Liana further questioned. There was a little hesitance from Eleana when that questioned was asked. Attorney Liana noticed it and had to remind Eleana of an important fact; “Remember Mrs Eleana, you are bound by law and faith to answer every question truthfully". Eleana nodded in understanding and said; “I decided to leave when he brought home his side woman, over the years, no matter how much he fooled around outside, he never brought any of them close to his house and his c

AT THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE: The once lively office was doused with a solemn silence. Disappointment, guilt, anger and sadness filled the air.

That shouldn't warrant this type of atmosphere right?", but what they wouldn't know is that, this is the first time the project management team failed a presentation. They have all worked together under Arnold's tight rule and protection, so they haven't had a day like this.

Eleana was staring out the window, lost in thoughts and uncertainly, this would be the first time she will be seeing Shawn after his visit to Gabriella's house, and the first time she would be meeting him as her boss, which was unnerving. She fidgeted with her pen, her mind racing with doubts. "How should I act? Will he think I didn't deserve the spot when he sees me? What if.....? Ahh! I'm thinking too much about this", Sofia, noticing her distress, offered a reassuring smile. "Hey, we've all been there. Meeting the boss for the first time is nerve-wracking, but he's not that scary".
