Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56In a mansion somewhere inside the city arguments could be heard from a tiny voice as she continuously repeated the words;
"Grandma I want to go home,I don't want to stay here anymore . I want to meet my mommy!!", the little girl ranted as she held the hands of her unaware little sister."Listen to grandma Ginny, you will meet your mommy soon. You are just staying here for the weekend okay?- So come and take off your uniform and then we can go play, how about that?". The old lady asked with a smile as she bent to Georgina's height and patted her head.Georgina looked at her grandmother and appeared convinced; "Okay grandma, but can I call mommy, she will get worried if she doesn't see us at school or at home and I am sure daddy won't tell her we are here, so can I call her... please?!!", she pleaded."Alright, let me get my phone so you can call her", The old woman said as she got her phone out of her bag and dialled Eleana's number........Eleana was on her way to Dane's parents house when she got a call from Mrs Diamen, Dane's mother."Sigh!- She picked up the phone and connected it to the car speaker; "Goodevening Mother","Eleana, how many times have I told you not to call me that?", Mrs Diamen replied in distaste."Sorry, I forgot", Eleana replied as she took out a handkerchief to clean her bloodied face whilst focusing on the road."Enough of that!, your daughter wants to talk to you", Mrs Diamen said as she passed the phone to Georgina .Taking the phone from her grandmother, Georgina happily said; "Mommy".Finally knowing her children were okay , Eleana breathe out in relief."Hey baby, how are you? And your sister, is she there with you?"."Yes mommy, we are both fine. I'm sorry I couldn't call you earlier today, daddy came to pick us up from school and took us directly to grandma's house. I know you must have been worried".Eleana smiled sweetly and said; "Umm..true, mommy was worried when she couldn't find you at home but you don't have to be sorry baby. I'm not mad. You know what!. I am on my way to your grandma's house and I will take you guys with me ,okay?"."Really mommy?! You're coming to take us?", Georgina asked in excitement.Mrs Diamen countenance turned turned bad as she heard that statement."Yes, in fact I am almost there, so just wait for me a bit okay?"."Yes mommy". Georgina had just said when Mrs Diamen asked for the phone from her."Ginny dear, may I speak to your mom?"."Of course grandma. Mommy, grandma wants to speak with you". Georgina told Eleana as she handed over the phone to her grandmother.Eleana already knew what she was gonna say, she and her mother-in-law had never been on good terms. Well she won't blame her as she was always against her son marrying her."What do you mean you are coming to pick them up?". Mrs Diamen asked authoritatively."The literal meaning ma, I am close to the house already"."Eleana need I remind you that you were told never to step your foot on this house every again and you also vow not to, so what do you think you are trying to achieve by breaking that vow?"."Vow or no vow, I am taking my children with me and if you don't want me in the house you can bring them outside I don't mind, but my kids.. goes.. with.. me", Eleana said as she spat out every word firmly."Mind you I am their grandmother and...""But I am their mother!!". Eleana cut her off. She then told a deep breath and calmly said; "Mrs Diamen, I am not trying to keep the kids away from you , no, but for now they are coming with me. I hope you can understand that"."Hump!!, do what you want". Mrs Diamen said as she hanged up the call......A moment later Eleana got to the Diamen's house. She parked the car and pulled down the car mirror to concealed the bruise on her forehead and she cleaned ever last bit of dry blood on her face.Inside the house:The sound of a car parking could be heard from the living room and Georgina ran to the window to take a look."Look Isabelle, mommy is here", she said excitedly as she gestured to her little sister to come take a look."Careful now children, don't run". Mrs Diamen said as she walked to the door to open it.Eleana was about to ring the bell when the door was opened from inside.Mrs Diamen looked at the beautiful yet skinny figure of her so called daughter-in-law. She looked miserable than before, not that she pity her tho, she never consented to their marriage as she knew it wasn't going to end well for anybody.She was about to chastise her when her eyes caught the bruise on her head, she could tell Eleana tried to conceal it."Sigh! Dane is at it again". Mrs Diamen thought."Hello Ma". Eleana greeted as she stood at the door.With a snort Mrs Diamen replied; "You can come inside Eleana, I don't want the kids to think that I am bullying their mom and if you don't want them to ask I suggest you put on more shade to cover the bruise on your head". She then left the door and walked into the house.As Eleana entered the house a little ball of lightning struck her and held her tight, it was her youngest daughter Isabelle."Mama". Isabelle called out."Mummy, you are here". Georgina said as she also ran to hug her mother.Eleana took Isabelle up and in her arms and patted Georgina's hair."Hm, I am here. Are you guys ready?"."Yes mom, let me get our backpack". Georgina said as she went back get it."Eleana!". Mrs Diamen called out. "May I have a word with you?". She asked.Startled, Eleana agreed; "Um... Sure, give me a minute ". She said and put Isabelle down. "Baby, mama is going to speak with grandma so you just stay here and wait for mama okay ?"."Okay mama". Isabelle replied in her sweet tiny voice."That's my girl!". Eleana praised as she ruffled her hair. She then walk up to Dane's mother who took her to the study room adjacent to the living room."Please close the door". Mrs Diamen said.Eleana looked at her in confusion."Sigh! I don't want the kids to hear what I am about to say". She added when she saw the look Eleana gave her. "It's not like I want to murder you in secret". She added that last part in a whisper.Eleana was about closing the door when she heard the last statement._It wouldn't be surprising if you wanted to, your son does way worse than that_.Related chapters

"Why did you call me here ma?", Eleana asked "Why are you so impatient?". Mrs Diamen said as she sat down and gestured for Eleana to. "Let's see, your son nearly blinded me and he also sent my kids away without my permission. I had to literally run out of the house so he wouldn't catch me and by now I be as far away as possible from here but you have something to say and wouldn't talk so forgive me if me being impatient bothers you". Eleana spat all these out in a rush as she tried to calm herself down. Mrs Diamen sat there in silence and calmly waited until Eleana was done with her ranting. "Are you done?", she asked and Elean nodded. "Good, I can't say serves you right for not leaving when I ask you to cause I know that the most painful thing a woman can experience is the hatred of her soul mate". "I presume you had a fight before coming here and now you want to take the kids away from him right?". Mrs Diamen asked. "Why? Trying to stand up for your abusive son?". "No, but

At the same time, the children were busy eating the biscuits served by the housekeeper in the living room and Georgina wondered what her mother and grandmother might be talking about. "What do you think they are talking about Aunty Elisa?", Georgina asked as she chewed on her biscuits quickly. "Manners lady Georgina, we don't want you choking on the biscuits now do we?", Housekeeper Elisa said as she tried to avoid the conversation. "Hm, you didn't answer my question", Georgina probed as she looked at the housekeeper in curiosity. "I do not know what they are talking about lady Georgina", She replied as she poured some milk into the children glasses. "How come you don't know? I thought adults know everything ". "Haha!! I assure you lady Georgina, adults do not know everything", Housekeeper Elisa said with a slight chuckle. "Hmmm, maybe they are talking about us. Are they talking about us?". Georgina threw another question again. "Not likely lady Georgina, why don't you take

Gabriella was at a lost on what to do..She stared blankly at Eleana and couldn't muster any other words, no one would blame her as she hadn't seen or talk to Eleana for three years now."Hey, I know that you are really surprised and probably shocked to see me but it's really cold out here in the rain, so if you don't mind........", Eleana said shivering in the rain."Gabby? Gabby?". Eleana called as she touched her.Coming to her senses, Gabriella finally responded; "Yeah, yeah, get in".A deafening silence reign inside the car as it moved forward and only the patter hit of the rain on the glass numbed the silence for Eleana.

Two freshly cooked plates of jollof rice garnished with slices of tomato and cucumber with a piece of chicken on it and a plate of salad was the sight that greeted Gabriella when she walked into the dinner room while following the aroma that assaulted her nostrils as she stepped foot inside the house. "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

The sound of Dane throwing a glass cup against the wall resounded round the room."You incompetent fools", his voice, which was laced with anger and detest was like a whip against their ear. "You couldn't find just one stupid woman who has no means of hiding for more than twenty-four hours and now you have the guts to come tell me she is impossible to find, what am I paying you for!!!!??".

"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

It was of paramount importance to portray Dane as a father who thought providing everything his children could ever ask for was the best way to take care of them. "Mr Dane, Mrs Eleana here, accused you of being an abuser, what is your take on that?", Attorney Baxter's question elicit murmurs in the courtroom. "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.

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.

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. "None", she replied cu

“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. One might ask; "Isn't it just an issue with the version, it can easily be resolved. 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. It was a foreign feeling and to think that the cause of all this was something that even an amateur could avoid. The team members couldn't help but throw disappointed looks at Ssrah, but she had been here longer than most of them so they really couldn't voice out their anger. Noticing the mood in the office, and her teammates accusing looks, Sarah decided to stand up and apologise when Eleana beat her to it: "I'm sorry for letting the team down.

AT ML CONSTRUCTION: Eleana, are you ready?", Asher, the assistant project manager, asked her. "Yes, I'm fine, thanks". "Okay", Asher nodded in understanding. 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". "Thank you Sofia", Eleana said assured by her words, but Sofia got one thing wrong tho, the fact that the Big Boss has been to her house and even had breakfast there. "Not if she makes a fool of herself when she sees the boss", Sasha s
