Andrew had just set the table when the girls came out from their rooms.

"Right on time ladies, breakfast is served", Andrew said as he took off the apron he was wearing, he then brought out a chair for Gabriella and sat down on another.

Gabriella sat down and dived into her food without a second thought as for Eleana, well, she was still sceptical about how the meal will taste.

Seeing that her friend was looking at the food warily, Gabriella burst into a round of laughter.

"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.

Both Gabriella and Andrew were intently watching Eleana's expression after she took a bite.

At first Eleana's expression was that of someone who is being forced to take a bitter pill but after taking a bite from the food her expression slowly changed to surprise and delight.

"Hmmmmm, hmmmmm, this.....this taste really good. Wow!", Eleana couldn't form the words prop

  • My Daughter Wants A New Dad: My Lucky Star   Chapter 14: There Was An Accident

    At Jee Ne Pre-kindergarten Academy: It was twelve O'clock and the school was still in session. Dane had a look of contempt and impatience on his face as he looked at the closed gate. He checked his watch from time to time wondering why it was taking so long for his children to come out. 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". The teacher took a deep breath and begin to recount the events leading up to the accident. "After I brought them out, per their father's request , I was going back into the school compound when I heard him calling loudly to Georgina.........." FLASHBACK SCREECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The sound of the car forcefully pressing on the breaks sounded. "GEORGINA!!!!!!", Dane and the teacher shouted in unison as the car screeched to a halt.

    "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

    Shawn is waiting for Andrew to finish up with the payment, he took a look at the stitches on his arms and his mind drifted to what happened. FLASHBACK He had just finish meeting with an investor in his new project and they were finalizing their contract when everything happened. "The third batch of the materials has just arrive and will be delivered to you soon, you can check them for any mishaps", Shawn said as they walked out from the coffee shop.

    It was more than two days but Georgina remained still in her bed showing no signs of waking up. The doctor said everything is fine with her medically, it seems to be a traumatic condition. I don't need to guess to know what traumatic experience that is. Eleana was beside herself with worry as she kept on pestering the doctors and nurses that comes to the room. Isabelle sat on the other bed with her big eyes staring at everything, the white walls, the beep monitors, the nurses on their blue gown walking in and out-- it was quite a spectaclefor her as she rarely leaves her home. Eleana decided it was best for her to skip school for a while, she didn't know what else Dane was capable of. Speaking of which, he never came back and his mother calls occasionally, her help has been Gabriella but she has a lot of work today and could not stay with her because she was here all day yesterday giving Eleana time to go file for a divorce. __Who was I kidding?

    "Noooooooooo!!!!!!!", James screamed when he heard the sound of the gun click. "James?", Dane called out from where he was sitting wondering what was wrong with his new assistant. __Whew! It was an imagination__, James thought as he looked around, checked his body and saw that he was still intact and the boss was still sitting. He wiped the sweat that has formed on his forehead. "You may go", Dane said to James as he reclined in his chair, he just finished reading the contents on the paper. "Yes Sir", James hurriedly left the office. He heave a sigh of relief when he got out. "Whoa, I can't believe my heart is beating so fast", he thought as he placed his hand in his chest, you wouldn't blame him for this, he had heard the horrors of their boss from his co-workers and he has a thing for wild imaginations, feeling like himself again, he walked to his position. "So Eleana went ahead with her divorce plan. Hmmmm, what a pity", Dane thought as he chuckled to himself while sti

    Eleana's eyes locked onto Gabriella's, her heart warming at her friend's insistence on staying. The feeling of having someone who would stick with you through all trials, was amazing. To think she almost lost this person because of her foolish trust in Dane made her heart summerslam in agony. Thankfully, she regained herself before it was too late. "That's right, she's not going anywhere!", Eleana declared, her voice firm. "Like I said, she is my sister and she is part of my family, if you have anything to say to me, just say it". Despite her innate fear of Dane's father, she wouldn't let him bully one of the most important person in her life. "Is Shawn also part of your family?", this question came from Dane who had a calm expression on his face, but his eyes simmered with pain and jealousy. Eleana looked Dane straight in the eyes with a mocking expression. "Mr. Shawn you say? At the moment, he is more of a father figure to my children than you ever were, so yes! He is part o

"And you see this room......Uncle Shawn paid for it!".Eleana's eyes widened in surprise, while Gabriella's eyebrows shot up in astonishment. Georgina continued, her voice filled with excitement.

He even bought me these yummy fruits when the doctor said I should eat more fruits and told the babysitter that she can leave if she wants to because the babysitter was scared of his stoic face and he....." "Georgina, that is enough", Shawn's interruption was swift, his voice low and gentle preventing her from saying what he knew she was going to say next.

    "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

    AT THE SAME MOMENT IN THE COURTROOM: Attorney Baxter was already asking Dane questions they had practiced beforehand.

"What's the lawyer trying to do, there's already evidence that he did lay his hands on her, isn't he just adding more salt to the room?", "Is this lawyer actually defending the man or offending him?", "This question won't be in his favour, no?". These were the words spoken in low tone as the gallery wondered what the lawyer was up to. "Order!!", the bailiff said, reminding them that the court was still in session. "Mr Dane please answer the question", Attorney Baxter said to Dane, giving him signals to repeat what they had practiced the day before.

    Shawn was sorting through some documents in his office, with Andrew by his side, his baritone voice resounding in the quite space, as he discussed the latest construction update. The marketing manager was also there, waiting patiently to report on the latest marketing strategy that his team came up with , which will elevate the company's popularity, propelling it higher in the international stage. This atmosphere was broken by the weird ringtone coming out from Shawn's phone. It was a poem, a kid's poem, but Andrew was already used to this sound ever since the day Georgina added a special ringtone for her number so Shawn would know who was calling without having to see the number, unlike the marketing manager whose jaw dropped in shock. __Wha...? 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.

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".
