Georgina followed Benjamin outside. “Ben, wait!”“Leave me alone, Gina” Benjamin said in a stern tone without pausing on his tracks. When he reach to his car, just as he was about to open the door, he got a call from his father. Grumpily, he received his call bringing the phone close to his ear. “Hey Dad.”“Benjamin, your mother fell from the stairs and is in the hospital right now. She needs you here” his father told, his voice laced with emotions.Benjamin's mood wasn't any better and with the news of his mother, he didn't know if he should scream or cry. Wiping his face with his palm in frustration, he agreed. “Don't worry, Dad. I'll be there.”With that he ended the call, and felt like punching something. Georgina came and placed her palm on his shoulder. “Ben, is everything okay?” she asked tenderly, genuinely worried.“Mom's in hospital. I need to go there” he told, his one hand on his hips while the other curling the phone.“Oh my! Is she alright?” she asked, shocked and worrie

Making an excuse to her brother, Elissa left the hospital and went home to get ready before she goes to meet Carson. He has sent her the address and she was glad it was somewhere private, a hotel to be particular. Reaching her apartment, she rummaged into her small closet and chose one of her favourite dresses. Since she has made up her mind, she might as well do everything neat. The blue off shoulder skater dress was a bit short but Elissa chose this one deliberately. Along with it, she decided to wear stockings that would made her long legs look incredibly sexy.It took her around twenty five minutes to get ready. Once she was done with applying makeup, she took her purse, her phone and her jacket, and head out of the apartment. She checked the time as she walked down the stairs of the building since the elevator was under functioning.

“Where are you going, Eli?” Jonathan asked. For two days, he could see Elissa was acting weird. She would leave and come back hours later. It wouldn't have bothered him if it was related to her work, but since she didn't have one, it made him curious and uncertain about her periodic absence.“Brother, I did tell you that I got a job. I am going there” Elissa said but Jonathan was finding it hard to believe. What job requires their employees to meet at odd times? However, Jonathan didn't ask much about it because he trusted her and knew she wouldn't do anything stupid. Elissa noticed the bothered look on Jonathan's face and felt guilty that she was lying to him. “Trust me, brother. I will get the money and save Lia.”“I trust you, Eli” he assured, keeping his other doubts to himself. Elissa gave one last kiss to Lia who was asleep and went out of the hospital.Elissa was fuming because Carson called her literally anytime he felt like it. Be it five in the morning, or midnight. She thou

This past week had been great for him. He spent most of his time with Elissa. Yesterday when he took her to the planetarium, she was so happy he could see it. Her eyes were twinkling! Carson was himself in a state of confusion about what he was doing. He was supposed to stay away from Elissa because she is his 'step-sister.' However, he couldn't. He couldn't stop himself from staying away from her. He wanted to be around her all the time and that feeling was scary.Carson still didn't know why she came up with such a deal. Although he has investigated he didn't go further. He was aware that Elissa wanted it to be a secret, so she did. She has strictly told him to stay away from her private life. At first, he was very sure to decline her offer, but even he doesn't know why he agreed without reasons. He saw in her eyes, the raw vulnerability and the thought that she might go to someone else, like Benjamin, he changed his mind.From what he has investigated, Elissa was often seen at the

Amanda could see she has planned something which wasn't a easy one. “The root of this whole problem, Elissa.” Before she started to tell her plan, Kimberly went ro close the door in case someone hears them.

South East Coast of A city,Elissa slowly opened her eyes to the muffled voices of her abductors. Drops of sweat were dripping down from her forehead, making their way to her neck. She groaned and tried to straighten her back when she realized she was tied by a rope around her body. How did she end up here? That was the first question in her mind but then after recalling, she remembered she was kidnapped. She remembered two men arguing with her and the next thing she knew, she was unconscious.Elissa struggled, trying to lose the rope but it wasn't of any help. The chair on which she was sitting made noises as she struggled and that was heard by those two abductors.“There's no use fighting, woman!” the bald man bellowed, walking towards her casually. Now that they were in some kind of isolated room, the bald man looked more terrifying. His dark skin glowed and the scar was terrifying as well.“Why have you brought me here?” Elissa, yelled, angrily glaring at them. Her hands were tied

Elissa's heart was beating fast as she reached nearer to the Waverly building. She was feeling anxious because she would be confessing her feelings to Carson. Reaching the building, she took the elevator, going up the floor. On her way to the hallway, she met Lin who was surprised to see her but also glad she had come. They gave each other a nod, and Elissa went to Carson's office. She didn't care to knock and simply entered. Carson was on his laptop. Files and documents were all over the office. It was a mess. Elissa's chest rose and fell when she saw him in front of her.Elissa took steps towards him and stopped in front of the desk. Carson had no idea Elissa was here, but suddenly, he snapped his head up and saw her in front of him. It felt as if he was dreaming. When he wanted to see her the most, she was here.

“Elissa!”Elissa flinched, coming back to reality after hearing Benjamin's voice. “Yes?” she croaked, positioning herself correctly on the chair.“Are you alright? I called you twice” he said. Elissa nodded, saying she was fine but she wasn't. She was thinking about Carson. She was worried about the company situation. Although she did help him with the design, she still thought it wasn't enough. She had the urge to go and check if he was doing okay but she had been holding herself back. She knew how workaholic Carson was, and he wouldn't rest until and unless the work is over.“Anyways, we have a meeting at ten. You need to be present there as well” Benjamin added.As he was leaving, she asked him about Carson. “Have you heard about Waverlys Group and Co facing a tough time?”Benjamin's left brow rose in curiosity, wondering why she was asking him about it. “Well, yes. I do am aware.”“Is it bad? Will the company go down or what?” Benjamin was a bit surprised to see the desperate worr

“Mommy, where is Daddy? Why hasn't he come today?” Lia questioned the moment Elissa entered the apartment.“He didn't come?” she asked. “He must be busy with work, sweetheart. Don't worry, he will come some other day” Elissa tried to assure her daughter.“Will he leave us? Will he go to catch fish again?” Lia pouted, making a sad face.“No, of course not. He is only busy with work, love.”“Call him!” Lia demanded. Elissa didn't want to call Carson even if she too wanted to know if he was okay. Elissa refused, making an excuse that she shouldn't disturb Carson but Lia wasn't going to buy that.As they descended to the living room, Elissa gestured to her brother to handle Lia but he shrugged, saying, “She had asked me about for the whole day, eating my brain out. I think you should just ask that lad. Lia will calm down by then.”“Mommy, please! Call him!”“Alright, alright. I'll call him” she agreed at last. Taking out her phone from her purse, she dialed his number and waited for him t

Haven't I? If you dare pull and tricks again, I will never forgive you. I have warned you, haven't I?” Benjamin glared at her. He looked scary for the first time since Georgina had been with him.She gulped, flinching by his words. “You lied to me, Gina! Not only to me but also my parents!”“What lie?” asked Harold.“She is not pregnant! She was never pregnant, Dad.”Harold's and Diane's faces formed in the shape of an O. This was shocking.

Elissa watched Carson play with Lia. She had wondered if he would be a loving father when they were planning for a baby, and it made her smile that he actually loves Lia more than she thought.Elissa also wondered why he hadn't come to her apartment for three days. He always popped in her apartment with a stupid smile but when he didn't came the past three days, she thought that he might have given up or that something might have happened back in home or the company. Her daughter kept on asking about Carson all day but she doesn't even know why he didn't came. She resisted calling him. She didn't want to show she wanted him there, that she cared about his presence.Elissa didn't realize that Carson was looking at her as well, a smile playing on his lips. She blushed and averted her gaze towards somewhere. There was a problem with Benjamin going on as well, and she had assumed it was most likely Georgina.“Hi” Carson breathed in her ear, making her jump on her place. Seeing her horrifi

When Elissa went to notify Benjamin about her work, she noticed he was tense. His forehead was creased and he was in deep thought that he didn't realise she had come in. “Excuse me, sir.”Benjamin blinked, coming back to reality. “Oh, yes, well, what were you saying?” he asked, turning on his laptop.Elissa gave him the pen drive in which her presentation was saved. “The work is done. If you can check it and let me know if there are any flaws, I will correct it before tomorrow.”“Yes, sure. I'll let you know in an hour” he said, his eyes narrowed at the laptop screen.Elissa was telling herself that she should mind her own business, but she couldn't stop her mouth. “Is everything alright, sir?” she blurted.Benjamin looked at her and she saw something was bothering him. He was fighting whether he should tell her anything or not. “Some personal issues. Nothing serious” he assured her with a tight smile. Elissa knew he had lied but she did not press more. She took her leave, closing the

Georgina met Elissa's eyes and they still harbored hatred for her.Elissa and Georgina were both going to the same room, which made it awkward. “Why are you going there?” Georgina asked in a rude way.“Sir has asked for this file so i am just going to give him that” Elissa said politely.“What's your name, miss?” asked the woman with a tight smile which Elissa knew was fake.“Elissa Williams.”Realization drawn upon that woman's face as if she knew who Elissa but was meeting her for the first time. “I am Georgina's mother,” she introduced herself. “Brittany.” Elissa had assumed that must be the case

She was overthinking about encountering Georgina again.She doesn't want any rivalry. Yesterday, she gave her answer to Benjamin about joining back again, and he was elated. She hasn't told this to Carson, because why should she? She wasn't answerable to him in any sort of way.When she entered the workspace, all the employees had their eyes on her. Elissa felt awkward and smiled at them tightly. She made her way towards the CEO room, knocking on the door first before entering.When Benjamin had said to come in, she pushed the open inside and went in.

After Lia's surgery, Carson was visiting her more and more. Elissa was annoyed but at the same time she was happy to see her daughter glowing.“Look, I have you the permission to see her, but that does not mean you will come to live here” Elissa said. He was playing with Lia in the small living room and Elissa had asked him to follow her to the kitchen leaving Lia with Jonathan who was as annoyed as her.“You don't like me here?” the question made her gape. Was she not clear enough that day?“Yes, I don't, Carson. I don't think you should give Lia hopes that you will always be here, taking care of her and all. There is no chance–”“I was not bluffing about what I said on that day. I meant every word. I will always take care of both of you. Even if you don't like me - which is a lie - I am not letting go of my daughter or you. I have made that mistake before, I don't want to again.”Elissa knew she couldn't agree with him about this, so let it go and sighed. “Fine. Whatever. Buf you ar
