last update Last Updated: 2024-12-12 14:03:05

ELSA ELKINS' POV,

The curtains on the floor-to-ceiling window had been pulled back, allowing the ray to fall on my face that morning.

I squinted and blocked the ray with my palm.

The brightness of the day made my lips spread into smiles. I sat up, my eyes half-closed as I stretched my limbs, feeling a renewed sense of energy coursing through me.

Suddenly, my eyes flung wide open, and I snapped off my grogginess. My smile varnished as memories of the night before, came flooding my mind.

In that instant, I felt my blood begin to boil as a renewed sense of anger - like blood, coursed through my veins.

My head whipped around the room, my eyes blazing with determination as I searched for Leonard,

But instead of finding him, my gaze fell on series of closed doors, and my brows furrowed.

Just as I was about to leap out of bed to search for Leonard, the entrance door swung open, and Leonard strolled in with a broad smile on his face.

"Good morning Mrs Kish!" He announced exuberantly, his vo

    ELSA ELKINS' POV,As soon as I was done, I hurried downstairs, towards the kitchen, and upon getting to the living room, I met Nanny Ruth, whose face was radiant with smiles, "Good morning, Nanny Ruth!" I greeted her, sharing in her warmth. After exchanging warm pleasantries, Nanny Ruth said gently, "It seems Leonard brought you breakfast." Warmth glinting in her eyes as she stared at me.I shrugged. After Leonard's attitude last night and his coldness that I was used to, I wasn't about to be swayed by that single gesture, no matter how thoughtful it seemed. "Well, he did," I answered, my voice as flat as my expression. "But there's nothing more to it," I added calmly.Nanny Ruth's eyes softened, and her gaze turned inward as my words sank into her. Her smile, although still present, whispered a gentle concern."I heard the both of you arguing last night," She began softly,"But I want you to know that Leonard is a good kid and not as bad as you think," she said calmly, her words ec

She called, her shrill tone slicing through the air. I hadn't expected to see her there, especially since she was supposed to be in school.I turned sharply, and my eyes widened as Julian hurtled towards me, her pigtails bouncing with each step. She stopped right in front of me, beaming with an uncontainable joy that caused my lips to spread apart in smile."Julian!" I exclaimed, "How're you?""I'm fine, Miss Elsa!" Julian chirped, her voice bubbling with excitement, as she gazed up at me.Since she wasn't in school, I feigned seriousness as I attempted to know the reason she had skipped going to school."Why aren't you in school? Where are your parents? Did you come alone again?" I asked, my brow furrowed with

    Chapter 43 - Dumbfounded.LEONARD KISH'S POV.Sam's gaze kept flickering towards the rearview mirror, gazing at me. His rounded shoulders and creased brows, echoed the uneasiness that had deeply settled in his heart.I could tell something was bothering him, and I wondered if it had to do with his initial conversation with Elsa.Although he hadn't said a word, I didn't need anyone to tell me that something was wrong."What is it?" I asked Sam as calmly as I could, breaking the uncomfortable silence that had descended upon us, but I didn't take my eyes off the magazine that had kept me busy."It's..." He began, his voice faltering. That was so unlike Sam. My curiosity got the better of me, I lifted my head and peered into the rearview mirror to catch his eye.I held his gaze for about two seconds, and I fixed him with a questioning look, but Sam's lips only opened and closed as if the words were stuck in his throat.But his struggle only ruffled my composure.

Although my steps were heavy with purpose, my mind was far from looking for Mr. Gustavo. I only wanted to prove to Sam that he shouldn't consider her words seriously anymore.After a while, I came to a halt at room number 108, and my lips curled into a smirk. "We're here!" I told him, and nodded for him to ring the doorbell, while I waited for the show.After about five seconds, the door swung open, and the confident smirk that had curled my lips faltered, until it completely disappeared from my face.My lips parted as a great sense of shock overwhelmed me, and my eyes bulged slightly, at the sight of Mrs. Gustavo who had just opened the door,For the next five seconds, I was stunned, and could g

I asked, my gaze fixed intently on him, as I struggled to contain the desperation simmering beneath my surface. Mr. Gustavo's brows lifted slightly, and he shrugged his shoulders in nonchalance."Let's just say, I had a change of mind." He responded bluntly, his expression downplaying the gravity of the situation. His words dropped into my heart, and I became convinced that there was something more to his words.His calm and resolute demeanor starkly contradicted the enthusiastic and willing attitude he h

    ELSA ELKINS' POV,I could feel warmth seeping into my chin as I gradually emerged from the dream land. The skin beneath it was unusually firm but soft, cozy enough to keep me lying still.My fingers were enveloped in a warm blanket, but even in my grogginess, I could tell it was something firmer than my bed.A soft, soothing rising and falling sensation beneath my palm caressed my fingers, and I became curious and began to explore. As my fingers traced the surface, they discovered a delicate, rounded tip, and just then, a deep, gentle voice whispered into my ears. "You're awake, my Love!" "Mm-hmm!" I responded, partly awake, my lips spreading into a small smile as I lay still, enjoying the warmth that engulfed me. But after about three seconds, the words settled into my heart, and my eyes flew open. My gaze fell on a golden surface which was definitely not a bed, and I felt a firm grip around my waist.Just then, I snapped off my grogginess; my head jolted up, and I met a pair of d

Without waiting for another second, I scurried out of the bed and rushed out of the room. I wanted to go as far as I could from Leonard and his nonsense. I just couldn't bear to face him anymore. My feet pounded the stairs with a fierce intensity as my determination carried me outside the mansion. As soon as I was alone, I drew a quick breath to still my racing heart. But after about five seconds, I turned around to make sure Leonard wasn't behind me. My hand flew to my chest as I struggled to catch my breath, and just as I was starting to calm down, my name echoed from behind me, making me jump, I spun around to find Sam standing mere inches behind me, his brows furrowed in a mix of surprise and confusion, as he stared at me. "Oh, Sam! Hi!" I exclaimed, exhaling a sigh of relief as my tense muscles relaxed,

I exclaimed, my voice ringing with warmth as I answered it,"Miss!" Daniella exclaimed in a matching intensity, her voice ringing with excitement. From her voice I could tell she was happy."Hey! What is going on? Why are you so happy this morning?" I asked. I couldn't stop myself from chuckling at how excited she was."Guess what, miss!" Daniella swiftly replied, her voice rushing into my ears as she barely contained her excitement. Without even waiting for my response, she cheerfully announced, "I'm getting married!" For the next three seconds, I felt utterly speechless. I was too shocked and excited to respond to her. After about five seconds, I asked, "Really?" My tone ringing with

But whether he chose to or not, I didn't really care, nor was I grateful in any way.I was still savoring the soup when Nanny Ruth swiftly continued, "He barely had a good night's sleep in order to monitor the room temperature and adjust it to suit your temperature." She said, snapping me out of the thoughts that had kept me busy.But her words had no effect on my heart, not even did they inflict a scratch to the wall surrounding my heart. They felt like glass against my hardened heart, shattering into pieces as soon as they met."Sounds unlike him!" I managed to say, even without paying attention to what she had just said.But Nanny Ruth's lips spread into a broad smile as she swiftly continued, "You need to see him when he came back la

    ELSA ELKINS' POV,My brows scrunched up as I gradually awoke, another day had come. Unlike before, I had lost the usual enthusiasm that had always accompanied my day.The room was shining brightly, but against my heart, which was filled with sorrow and sadness.It was a stark contrast to the gloom that had settled into the depth of my heart, and had overshadowed me. As my eyes gradually adjusted to the brightness of the day, a sharp pain pierced my head, and it banged so hard that I screwed my eyes shut, as though I was trying to shut out the pain.In that instant, the door slowly opened and Nanny Ruth walked in with a bowl of soup in her hands. "You're awake my child," She said, her voice as warm as the morning sun, but then, it lacked the efficacy to affect my heart like it had always done."Good morning Nanny Ruth!" I managed to say, my voice horse as I struggled to sit up, but as I did, a towel fell off my head which startled and surprised me.The surprise I had felt didn't las

I called, my voice ringing with a fierce determination that bounced off the walls. Immediately, his door swung open, and he dashed out of the room, stopping right in front of me like a bolt. He was panting heavily, and was trying to catch his breath."Young Master, you..." He was about to say when I swiftly interrupted him,"Where's Elsa?" I demanded, my voice firm and heavy as I stared at him. Butler Joe's mouth flew open immediately, and then he tried to say something, but nothing came out, he looked stunned. He was clearly surprised by my question, the look on his face spoke of the confusion in his heart. But then, his hesitation only fueled my growing desperation.I was r

But then, no matter how hard I tried to believe she was guilty, the heavy pang in my heart kept nudging at me, filling me with guilt.After struggling with myself for a while, I heaved a sigh and admitted, "I'll just try to make it up to her," Shrugging my shoulders as I tried to shove it off my mind, but the pang in my heart didn't lessen a bit, Instead, it grew heavier like a rock in the pool of my heart, even as I pondered on how to face her that evening.After about ten minutes of hesitation, I dragged myself inside and saw Nanny Ruth walking t

    MR YUKA LEE'S POV, I recalled how I had always beaten her like the Monster I was, all because she had always stood against me and against my dream."I wish you never told her about your intentions of going into the drug business," those words out of nowhere whispered in my head, crushing my heart further."I never wanted to tell her about it; if she hadn't confronted me... if she hadn't called me greedy and spoken ill against my mother who had introduced it to me, she probably would have been alive by now," I said out loud, replying to the voice of accusation that had risen against me.But as my thoughts and the memories lingered, I realized I was being accused, and I wasn't going to bear the blame all by myself."No! You're accusing me. I didn't tell her. She went through my stuff! Get out of my head! She shouldn't have gone through my stuff; she wouldn't have found out and confronted me about it if she hadn't," I said, as the memories from that day replayed in my head.As it linger

    MR YUKA LEE'S POV,"Why must I do what you asked me to do?" Richard's response came, his eyes blazing hot with a rage that was completely new to me, but at that moment, I was already too furious to contain my wrath. "What did you just say?" I snarled as it settled in my heart that he was angry because of a woman."Are you challenging me now?" I growled, my eyes wide open in a matching intensity.The thing I hated the most was being challenged, and that was exactly what he was doing.But the words had barely left my lips when Richard firmly replied, "Or else what?" He challenged, his teeth gritted, his lips quivering.At that moment, the beast in me roared like a wounded lion, struggling to let loose, and as I tried my best to seal it in, Richard's voice came again,"Should I remain silent just like my mother did and end up like her?" He asked, his voice quivering, his lips trembling with rage, fury glinting in his eyes.His question slammed into me like ice to my surging flames, damp

    RICHARD YUKA'S POV, As soon as I left Sam, I sank heavily into the couch and filled my glass to the brim, while he sat there without uttering another word to me. I downed my drink, intending to get drunk, but no matter how many bottles I consumed, I remained sober as though I had just drank a jug of caffeine. It was something I had seen as an affliction since I was eight. I had been immune to alcohol after what happened that afternoon, which pushed me into drinking in hopes of getting drunk. At that moment, I wished I could just get drunk for a while and forget about the naggings from my father and the memories it had always left in its wake. After a while, I stood up and started walking towards the exit door, and James quickly followed. I didn't know how long I stayed out, but I stayed until I was ready enough to go back home. As we got to the car he opened the door, but I quickly stopped him. "I'll drive, go back on your own today," I said with a stern voice, and walked towa

The angry voice of my father boomed into my ear, dripping with authority.In that instant, the dial went off ruffling my nerves. My lips twitched with a simmering fury as his words settled into my heart. My grip tightened around the phone, and my mind went blank immediately, my eyes locked in space and I seethed.My initial excitement completely disappeared and was replaced with a seething rage, and in that instant, James' voice broke into the fog that had settled around me."Boss!""Boss!!" James' voice nudged at my heart, gradually bringing me back to the present, "Boss are you okay?" He asked, his voice dripping with concern as he stared at me with furrowed brows.I turned to face him, seeing the concern etched on his face, "I am," I responded coldly, my voice tight with a surging rage, but as I stared at him, a thought crossed my mind."Was that yo

    RICHARD YUKA'S POV,Although, I knew I got enchanted by her the first day I saw her, I wasn't oblivious to what I needed, and what was more important."So I wanted to kill two birds with a stone," I stated, and James' eyes widened in a mixture of surprise and confusion which made me scoff."Firstly, I wanted to check if it was true and then secondly, I wanted to drive a wedge between them if it was true!" I stated with a nonchalant air, shrugging my shoulders as I spoke, after which I took another sip.James chuckled lightly, the sound of which spoke of the disbelief in his heart as he stared at me in surprise."So, you mean you went through all that trouble just to do that?" He asked, his tone ringing with disbelief.As soon as I heard his words, I couldn't stop the scoff that escaped my lips. What does he know after all?"It's not a trouble at all, James; you just don't know anything," I replied, refusing to allow his words to downplay the effort I had put in."At least I succeeded
