“What exactly is happening here?”I grabbed the document as I glanced through it again as Alex whispered to me. “Elena, please come inside, let's talk”. Alex said to me “I… I will be right back please”. I rushed back to the room as I nearly bumped Mrs Caroline. “Hey are you so blind that you can’t see ?” She gave me a long and devilish look as she sighed. “Mrs Caroline? What are you doing here ?” I asked in surprise. “Anyways I will be right back”. I brushed her aside and went through the door. Alex kept strolling around the living room. He looked so worried and concerned about what’s happening outside the house. I walked up to him with tears in my eyes as he hugged me with comfort and I felt safe with him but the tears wouldn’t stop rushing down my face. “Hey Elena, it’s fine we will find a way to sort this out. I promised to always be there for you and I will keep to that promise”. Alex assured me. “Thank you so much Alex I don’t know what I would have done without you, you are the best”. I smiled “Now let’s go and hear what those evil relatives of yours have to say”. Alex muttered in anger. As soon as I came outside Mrs Caroline gave me a devilish smile. It was as if her plan went well. I ignored her and stood close to Alex. Everywhere was quiet as if everybody was speechless as Mr Robeto walked up to me with a face looking like an oracle. “Please Mrs Elena, you’re to leave this house before noon today and please no property should be taken away from this house. Thank you so much”. He muttered and left I exhaled deeply. ”we have a family lawyer don’t we?” I raised a brow but got silence in response. “Why are you trying to bring me down? I have never offended anyone in any way. The only crime I committed was losing my parents. As if it wasn’t enough,I’m still losing everything I have so please what did I do wrong?” I questioned them rashly. “Elena please calm down, let's think of a way to sort things out. Everything is getting worse than it was before, please”. Alex pleaded with me. “Alex, please, I want them to tell me my offense”. I shunned him “Anyways I have no explanation to give to you other than advising you to leave this house with this miserable stranger of yours”. Mrs Caroline bluntly stated. I kept looking at my uncle to say something about what is happening but it seems like the show has been interesting to him. He looked at me and shook his head as he finally spoke up. “Elena, please listen to your auntie and leave this house. This house now belongs to me and my wife and there’s nothing you can do about it”. He winked. “You’re so heartless and shameless to be doing this to your own brother’s only child. You should have done better than this”. Alex spatted out in anger. “I don’t care about what you think young man.This is a family issue and you shouldn’t meddle in it so I suggest that you should mind your business”. Mr Smith uttered roughly. “Uncle please I don’t have anywhere else to go to. This is my father’s house and I don’t know why you want to deprive me from my own house”. I shakily told him. “Father’s house you say?”Mr Caroline chipped in. “Your father is dead and my husband is his only brother so get your butt out of this house you shameless orphan”. Mr Caroline spilled bluntly. I stood speechless thinking of how useless my life has become ever since I lost my parents. “It is well”. I murmured. “Please Elena, I don’t want to be hard on you so I am just giving you the grace of tonight to look for where to stay because by tomorrow morning this house belongs to me and my pretty elegant wife”. Mr Smith bluntly said. He looked at his wife in a naughty way and they both laughed so hard. Mrs Caroline has been a pain in my neck ever since I lost my parents she would stop at nothing to make me suffer. “What am I going to do now?am finished. I don't even know who to ask for help. Why are they being this harsh towards me? Alex, I'm tired . I feel so weak. I want to end everything and just Die”. I screamed in pain. “We will figure out a way so just calm down. I am always here for you please keep calm”. Alex tried to reassure me again. I looked so skinny because I have been through pains and stress. Mrs Caroline and her husband have been the worst nightmare of my life. They turned from the sweet uncle and aunty I used to know to the worst nightmare of my life. Alex noticed that I had been quiet and hadn't touched my food yet so he tapped me. “Hey can you at least eat something? You look skinny already and it’s not good for your health. Please Elena stop hurting yourself. I don't like it”.He pleaded as tears dropped down his face. This was literally the first time I saw Alex crying ever since he met me in this mess. Does he really feel my pain that much? I thought. “Alex please I don’t want to hurt you by my actions or predicament. Nature has already dirtied me and I need to pay for it. But at this moment I’m not hungry and I need some time alone”. I muttered sadly and left. “Good night Elena, Please rest well and don’t think too much”. He murmured, dropped the spoon on the table and went inside his room. “Hey Alex Good morning, you’re awake already?” I asked with surprise. “Hope you slept well last night ?” He asked as he curled his lips. “I tried to thou”. I responded as I stared at him. “I’m sorry about how I yelled at you last night. I didn't mean to, I was just so tired of everything”. I apologized. I kept staring at him non stop. “It’s fine Elena,I understand you perfectly well at least you’re a little bit better now and I’m okay about it”. He whispered and smiled. “Thanks Alex, I’m so happy that you understood the situation last night”. I responded politely. “So Elena, I thought about it and I think it’s best you come and stay with me at my place. Look, I have thought about it and I wouldn’t want you to cry about anything or get insulted by anyone again. So please come and stay with me or rather live with me”. He uttered, looking at me with a tense response. “What? I should come and live with you?” I questioned him with disbelief and the tears I had been controlling rolled down from my eyes. What should I do ?

Elena’s POVThat was the only option I had left.I exhaled heavily before pushing the door with my hand on the doorknob.As Alex saw me, he smiled and came close to me.“Alex ….” I lowered my face.“It’s fine if you don’t want to come stay with me”. He responded in a low tone looking displeased.“No way is that what you think?” I questioned him as I burst into laughter.“Hmmm, are you trying to mock me this time around? So tell me why are you laughing at me now?” He questioned with concern.“Because the whole if you don’t want to come, I understand a thing is funny”. I repeated as I burst into laughter again.“So you are now mocking me, right?” He asked as he curled his lips and came closer to me.My heart started beating so fast that I could barely breathe.“Okay, it’s fine, I'm coming with you because I don’t even have a place to stay so I can’t object to your offer besides you have been there for me since the day I lost my parents”.

Elena’s POV “Elena, Elena” He tried to get a hold of me as I quickly walked out of his living room. His guards and househelps were all looking at us like we just started a movie.“Please let me explain myself.” He grabbed my hand.“Explain yourself? Why?” I scoffed looking at him with disinterest.“About me not being honest with you. I’m sorry.” He lowered his head, feeling guilty and I smirked.“You have nothing to apologize for, Mr Alex. I am a hopeless girl who you came through for”. I spilled bluntly.“Elena, please stop sounding this way. Okay, fine I didn’t want to tell you anything about me yet because you were not at the right place to listen to me and I was so worried about you.”He said dolefully.“You owe me no explanation and I don’t believe you. I'm so sorry for disturbing you with my problems. Live your life the way you want to without thinking about me in any way but I have to leave this house and please don’t stop me”. I shunned him.“Trust me, Elena”. He didn’t let me

Elena’s POV “Will you be my girlfriend?” He asked again, his eyes filled with hope and expectation. I stood there,speechless and confused as Alex’s words hung in the air.I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Alex, the kind and generous man who had taken me in and cared for me, wanted to be my boyfriend? It was too much to process.“Elena, please say something”, Alex urged, his smile starting to falter.But I couldn’t speak. My mind was racing with thoughts and emotions, and I couldn’t form a coherent sentence.Just then, a voice behind us interrupted the moment. “Alex,what’s going on here?”We turned to see a woman standing in the doorway, her eyes narrowed and her arms crossed.“Rachel what are you doing here?” Alex asked, his tone firm but polite.“I could ask you the same thing”, Rachel replied,her eyes flicking to me. “Who is this…girl?”Alex hesitated,and I could see the conflict in his eyes. “Elena, this is Rachel,my business partner. Rachel, this is Elena, my…friend. Rachel

Elena’s POV"What's behind there?" I asked,my voice barely above a whisper. My heart raced as Alex led me towards the mysterious door.Alex smiled, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "You'll see," he said, his voice low and mysterious. "Just trust me, Elena."I hesitated, unsure if I should proceed. But Alex's enthusiasm was infectious, and my curiosity got the better of me. I nodded, and Alex pushed open the door, revealing a room that took my breath away.The room was dimly lit, with soft music playing in the background. The walls were adorned with beautiful artwork, and the floor was covered with a plush carpet that felt like silk under my feet. But what caught my attention was the centerpiece of the room: a beautiful grand piano, shining like a jewel in the soft light."Wow," I breathed, my eyes fixed on the piano. "This is incredible."Alex smiled, his eyes shining with pride. "I'm glad you like it," he said, walking towards the piano. "I have a surprise for you."And with that,

Elena’s POV Alex, how could you keep this from me? I asked,my voice shaking with anger and hurt. "How could you lie to me about something so important?"I shook my head, trying to process this new information. An ex-wife? It explained so much - the tension between them, the way Rachel seemed to know Alex's secrets.Alex sighed and rubbed his temples. "I know I should have told you, Elena. But I was scared. I didn't want to lose you."I laughed, a bitter sound. "You're losing me now," I said. "How can I trust you after this?"Alex took a step forward, his eyes pleading. "Elena, please understand. My marriage to Rachel was a mistake. It was a long time ago, and it didn't mean anything. I was young and stupid, and I didn't know what I wanted."I raised an eyebrow. "You were young and stupid? That's no excuse. You're still keeping secrets from me, Alex. How can I believe that you're telling me the truth now?"Alex hesitated, and for a moment, I thought I saw a glimmer of fear in his eyes

Elena’s POV “Let’s start with small things”, I said, my voice firm but gentle. “No more secrets, no more lies. From now on, we’re honest with each other, no matter what”.Alex nodded his eyes locked on mine. “I promise Elena. I’ll be transparent about everything. My past, my present, my future. It’s all yours to know “.I nodded, a small smile on my lips. “Good. Because I want to know everything about you Alex. The good, the bad, the ugly. I want it all”.Alex’s face lit up with a relieved smile. “I’m ready to share it all with you, Elena. Let’s start with my past, with Rachel…“No,” I interrupted, my hand up. “Not yet. I’m not ready for that. But I am ready to know more about your life now, your interests, your dreams … the things that make you who you are”.Alex’s face softened, his eyes warm with understanding. “Okay Elena. I understand. Let’s start with something simple then. What do you want to know?”I thought for a moment before asking, “What’s your favorite hobby?”Alex’s fa

As we pulled back from our passionate kiss, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and nervousness. I never imagined that I would fall in love with a stranger who came through for me at my lowest."Alex," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I want to try something new with you. Let’s try something fun”.I said with excitement.Alex's eyes lit up with curiosity. "What did you have in mind, Elena?"I smiled mischievously. "I want to take a cooking class with you. Something that will challenge us and force us to work together. I know how lazy you can be when it comes to cooking. I mockingly told him.Alex chuckled. "Cooking, huh? I like the way you think, Elena. But I think I cook better than you”. He teased me. “So when do we start?"I grinned, feeling a spark of excitement. "How about this weekend? I've already found a class that sounds perfect for us."Alex nodded, his eyes shining with enthusiasm. "I'm in. Let's do it."As we signed up for the cooking class, I couldn't h

“I wanted to give you something so special, something that symbolizes our love and connection”. Alex said, his eyes shining with emotions. As Alex opened the small box, my heart raced with anticipation. Instead of a ring, he revealed a beautiful customized necklace with our names, "Alex" and "Elena", intricately engraved on a golden pendant. I felt a bit disappointed. Maybe I was thinking too much, I thought. I was taken aback by the thoughtfulness and beauty of the necklace. "It's stunning, Alex," I whispered, my voice trembling. Alex smiled and gently placed the necklace around my neck. "You look beautiful wearing it, Elena. It's a reminder of the love we share, and I hope you'll wear it always." As I touched the pendant, I felt a deep sense of love and belonging. The necklace was more than just a gift – it was a symbol of our journey, our memories, and our triumphs. "Thank you, Alex," I said, my voice filled with gratitude. "This means the world to me." Alex's eyes locke

As we walked into the room where Phila had arranged everything, Daniel’s face froze in shock. There, sitting calmly, was Alex.Daniel blinked, disbelief in his eyes. "Alex? What are you doing here?"Alex slowly turned, a smirk playing on his lips. "You told me to come, remember? You texted me."Daniel’s confusion deepened. "No, I didn’t! I never texted you."I couldn’t help but enjoy the unraveling drama. With a sly smile, I crossed my legs and leaned back. "Wow, Daniel, I’m impressed. You’re truly something. But let me clear the air—I did the texting. I needed you both here. After all, birds of the same feather…"Daniel, pale and anxious, stood up and grabbed my arm.

I decided to take a nap, hoping to clear my head and recharge.As I lay in bed, I couldn't shake off the feeling of doubt that had been lingering in my mind. What was Daniel hiding? And why was he being so secretive?But for now, I pushed those thoughts aside and focused on rest. I slept for a few hours, waking up feeling slightly better.When I walked into the living room, Daniel was sitting on the couch, watching TV. He smiled when he saw me, and I forced a smile back."Hey, how was your day?" he asked, patting the couch next to him.I sat down, trying to act normal. "It was fine. Just tired."Daniel put his arm around me, pulling me close. "You've been working too hard. You need to take it easy."I nodded, feeling a sense of unease. I didn't want to be close to him right now, not when I had so many doubts. But I didn't

"You mean, spy on him?"I nodded. "Exactly. I'm about to make a big decision, and I need to be sure of what I'm doing. If Daniel's hiding something, I need to know."Phila grinned mischievously. "I'm on it. I'll dig up everything I can find."I smiled, feeling a sense of relief. "Thanks, Phila. I knew I could count on you."Phila nodded. "Don't worry, Elena. We'll get to the bottom of this. And if Daniel's hiding something, we'll expose him."I nodded, determination coursing through my veins. "Let's do it."Phila pulled out her phone and started typing away. "I'll start by hacking into his phone records, see if he's been in contact with anyone suspicious."I raised an eyebrow. "You can do that?"Phila winked. "I have my ways. Leave it to me, Elena.

Elena’s POV The next morning, I walked into the office, still thinking about Daniel's proposal. Phila noticed the look on my face and asked, "Hey, what's up? You look deep in thought."I sat down at my desk and filled her in on Daniel's suggestion. "He wants us to merge our properties and make him the sole owner," I said, watching for her reaction.Phila's expression turned thoughtful. "That's a big decision," she said. "What do you think about it?"I shrugged. "I don't know. That's why I'm asking for your opinion."Phila leaned back in her chair, steepling her fingers together. "If I were to advise you, I'd say keep your property to yourself."I raised an eyebrow. "Why?"Phila's expression turned serious. "You can't trust anybody, Elena. Especially when it comes to something you've worked hard for. You know what Uncle Smith tried to do to you. What if Daniel...?"I held up a hand, stopping her. "Daniel would never do that to me. He loves me."Phila's expression softened. "I know he

"After that, I'll be changing the locks and taking possession of my property."Mrs. Caroline's eyes welled up with tears, while Mr. Smith's face turned red with rage. But I just smiled, feeling a sense of triumph."I'm done here," I said, turning to leave. "Enjoy your last night in my apartment."Phila followed me out, closing the door behind us. "You were amazing in there," she said, grinning.I smiled, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. "Thanks, Phila. I couldn't have done it without you."As we walked away from the house, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. I had taken back what was mine, and I had done it with style."Let's go celebrate," Phila said, linking her arm through mine.I nodded, smiling. "Definitely. I think we've earned it."We walked off into the night, ready to start our new life together

Thank you for meeting us here today."We walked into the bank manager's office, where all the necessary documents were laid out on the table. Mr. Johnson hesitated, looking at the papers as if he was about to sign away his soul."Is everything in order?" the bank manager asked, looking at Mr. Johnson expectantly.Mr. Johnson nodded, his hand trembling as he signed the documents. Phila and I exchanged a triumphant glance, knowing that this was the final step in our plan."Thank you, Mr. Johnson," I said, taking the signed documents from him. "You've been a great help."Mr. Johnson looked like he was about to cry, but I just smiled and patted him on the back. "Don't worry, Mr. Johnson. You'll be rewarded for

Enjoy your reunion."With that, we turned and walked away, leaving Mr. Johnson shaken and subdued.We walked into the office, and I turned to Phila. "Book an appointment with my uncle, Mr. Smith. Tell him the form is ready."Phila nodded, her fingers flying across her phone's keyboard. "Consider it done. What time do you want me to meet with him?"I thought for a moment. "How about 2 pm? That gives you enough time to go over everything with him."Phila nodded, sending the text. "Done. Mr. Smith will meet

Elena’s POVI trudged through the front door, feeling exhausted from the day's events. Phila and I had called it a day, and I was looking forward to a quiet night in.I took a long, hot shower, trying to wash away the stress and tension of the day. As I got dressed, I heard my stomach growling and headed downstairs to see what was for dinner.Just as I was about to sit down, my phone rang. I hesitated for a moment before answering it."Hello?" I said, expecting it to be Phila or maybe even Mr. Johnson."Elena, it's Detective James," a deep voice said on the other end of the line. "I'm afraid I have some bad news. Alex has escaped from custody."My heart skipped a beat as I felt a surge of fear. "What? How did that happen?""We're not entirely sure yet," Detective James replied. "But we're working on it. In the meantime, I need you to be careful. If Alex is on the loose, you could be in danger."I felt a chill run down my spine as I thought about Alex being out there, possibly coming f

But it's necessary."As we waited, Mr. Johnson walked in, looking frantically around the coffee shop. His eyes landed on us, and he paled."Elena?" he whispered, his voice trembling. "What's going on? Why are you doing this?"I smiled, gesturing for him to sit down. "Let's just say I'm taking matters into my own hands, Mr. Johnson. And you're going to help me."Mr. Johnson sat down, his eyes darting back and forth between Phila and me. "What do you need, Elena?" he asked, his voice cautious.I smiled, leaning forward. "I need you to help me, Mr. Johnson. Just like you helped my uncle throw me out of the house."Mr. Johnson's expression turned cold. "I don't know what you're talking about," he said, but I could see the guilt written all over his face.I laughed, a harsh sound. "Don't play dumb, Mr. Johnson. I know all about
