Chapter 5: Leaving The Kids
Last Updated:
2024-11-18 16:46:46"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 he is my son and these children...your children..they are my grandkids and I won't let them get dragged into this fight between you and my son". "You want to take them from me?". Eleana asked in amusement. "Again no, but I want you to think about it. You made a decision in haste to take them with you and leave....Have you thought of how they would feel?...How they are going to cope by stopping school at the middle of the term? Cause if you want to take them away, you would also need to stop their current schooling. Have you thought about all this??... Have you even thought of where you are taking them to? Huh? A hotel??". Every word was like an arrow piercing Eleana's heart. _That is right, she hadn't thought about all these. O my god, in her haste to leave her husband she almost ruined her children's life_. Eleana thought as she felt the heartbreak of what might had happened had she really took them. "If you can say with certainty that you have all these planned out and whatever your grievances is with my son it would not affect these children negatively then you are free to leave". Mrs Diamen said as she stared at Eleana and registered all the expressions on her face. Seeing that her words were gaining effect Mrs Diamen pushed harder. "Listen to me Eleana. I know we do not see eye to eye but these are my grandchildren and I want what is best for them. So I have a suggestion ". Eleana looked at her and replied; "Does this suggestion have something to do with leaving them here?". Knowing she would have already guessed it Mrs Mudia agreed with a nod. "Yes, I want you to leave them here, if it's just for the weekend so you can arrange your thoughts and plan this out in a way if won't affect them". "You think I am stupid, you want me to leave them so your son would take them away I'm sorry but that would never... ". "Happen!. That would never happen Eleana, he might be my son but I won't put the kids at risk because of that. If you leave them here you have my word that Dane won't take them. I promise ". Shaking her head Eleana replied; "I don't believe you neither do I trust you. In fact why do you want to help me?.. Huh??.. Didn't you always hate me, you hated everything about me so why do you want to help me now?". "Hate is a strong word Eleana, I don't like you , yes. I think you shouldn't be with my son, yes and do I care what happens to you, no I don't, but I do care what happens to my grandchildren and they are the ones I am helping not you". ... Back at the house Dane woke up few minutes after Eleana left. "Arggg!!!!! That damn woman!!!!!". He cursed as he felt his head splitting into two due to the effect of the fall. He touched his head and felt a sticky fluid on his hand. It turned out his head was covered with blood. "I'm gonna kill this b*tch!! Eleana!!!!!!!!!!!! Eleana!!!". His scream shook the house and even startled the birds that were perching on the roof top. When he didn't hear any sound he stood up and began searching the house to see if she is still around. When he didn't find her after searching for a while a thought came to his mind. _Did she find out where the kids her?. With her intelligence it shouldn't be hard"_. Dane thought as picked up his phone to call his mother. "No, if I call her and Eleana is there she would leave and take the kids with her. I mustn't let this happen ". He said and ran up with wobbly steps to pick up his car keys. He barely walked a few steps down when he felt lightheaded and quickly sat on the steps to prevent himself from falling. _"I can't drive like this". Dane thought and booked for a designated taxi with his phone. The taxi was close by so it took few minutes before it got to the house and they left, headed for the Diamen's house. ... Eleana was deep in thought as she wondered if she should really leave her kids here and trust Dane's mom. "You don't have enough time Eleana, for all we know Dane might be on his way here already and if he meets you here I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything . So you have to make a choice, do you agree or not!!?. With a deep breath Eleana replied; "I will accept your offer, but on one condition ". "Which is?". "Dane or anyone else must never take the kids away from here no matter what. If you can guarantee me this, then only will I agree ". "No one will, you have my word!".Related chapters

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.

Her light brown hair sitting gently on her shoulders and there's that, the thing she missed most, the dimples on those cheeks that shows with every little facial expression.

Eleana tried calling the Diamen's house telephone again hoping someone might pick up the phone. It rang a few times before it was answered. "Hello, who is this?". A chirpy voice sounded from the cell. When Eleana heard that voice it felt like it's been ages since she last spoke to her children, she didn't realized she missed them this much. "Hey baby". Eleana said in a whisper like voice. "Mommy....?". Georgina asked not that sure. "Yes baby, it's mommy". Eleana said as she burst into teary laughter. "Mommyyyyyy". Georgina shrieked.

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!!!!??". The three couldn't help but grumble internally, today was supposed to be their off day and their work wasn't in the investigation area.

"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

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

"Mommy, do you know that, Isabelle called Uncle Shawn and he rushed to the house, she even said that he drove really fast so he could catch up with the ambulance I was in!", she paused for dramatic effect, a mischievous grin spreading across her beautiful face. "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. "Isabelle said he called a doctor and had them prepare this room for me. 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. 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.

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. A smile escaped from Shawn's lips, a sight that Andrew was gradually getting used to but it

"I guess she is tired, that's good, we can finally do that", Georgina said as she sprang up and kept the phone aside, but Isabelle took it along with her. "Sister Ginny are you sure mommy won't get angry?", Isabelle asked as she fiddled with her fingers, while looking at her elder sister with her natural puppy eyes.

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
