“Elisa, that’s enough. I won’t tolerate your tantrums anymore,” Edwin said in a scolding tone, but Elisa wasn’t someone who admitted defeat easily.Her pregnancy had added to her stubbornness, and over that, she had become crafty nowadays.“Edwin, it’s open space. What would happen if I go there?” Elisa argued.Elisa was adamant to visit the project site when Edwin wasn’t ready to take her.The construction was ongoing, and it wasn’t a safe place to visit.“Elisa, that’s not open space. It’s a project site. It’s dangerous,” Edwin tried to make her understand.They landed here last night and Edwin wanted to sort this matter as soon as possible so that he could return to Sydney.Early morning they woke up and sat together to finish their breakfast to start their work.But somehow Elisa woke up hearing their voice and now she wanted to join them.Edwin and Ben both oppose her tagging along.“Ben, tell him I will stay careful. I am not a child,” Elisa whined like a child.“Why would I? I a
Janet was crying hard when she couldn’t find Eric anywhere.She never thought she would have to see these days, too.She wasn’t close with her children, but it didn’t mean she loved them less.They were her lifeline.When William returned with Eric, she ran toward them and pulled Eric into her arms like she finally could breathe.She was crying while holding him tightly.She felt she finally could breathe.“Where were you? Why did you leave school?” Janet asked, but Eric was lost seeing her mother cry like this. He was innocently preparing a gift, how would he know what happened behind?“Mommy, can’t breathe,” he said and Janet loosened her grip and put him down hurriedly.But her cry wasn’t stopping.She didn’t want to hurt him, but hearing his word something triggered in her mind and she didn’t want to stay with him anymore.She ran inside her room and locked herself.She pulled out a few pills and gulped them without water.“I won’t hurt them. As long as I stay away, I won’t hurt th
Elisa was sitting at the dining table with Edwin when Edwin got a call from the detective.“Did you get a clue? Where, Italy?” Edwin was excited hearing the news and Ben and Elisa perked up hearing that.“If you need money, I will send it to you, just give me her address,” Edwin said, which made Elisa angry.How could Janet be in Italy when she met her today itself?When Edwin cut the call, Elisa couldn’t stop herself anymore.“When you will stop running behind these useless clues?” Elisa asked and Edwin frowned.“Why are you saying this?” Edwin didn’t understand.She never stopped him from searching Janet before even if she pestered him to move on.“You are such a fool. Don’t you understand? They are making a fool of you. They are after your money, they are lying,” Elisa yelled while saying this. She couldn’t let him make a fool of himself anymore. Janet didn’t deserve this much importance after what she had done.“Even if it’s right what you are saying, I can’t take a chance. What i
Elisa didn’t want to leave, but Ben pulled her out with him.“Ben, can’t you see something was wrong with her? Who was that man? And why does she need medicine? She didn’t even recognize me,” Elisa couldn’t believe her eyes.She cursed Janet after seeing her living with a man, but what she saw there wasn’t simple.That man was doing something with her? She had a terrible feeling.“I know. But we can’t fight him before we find out what’s wrong with her, Janet trusted him and she wouldn’t leave with us,” Ben said and Elisa finally listened to him and left the house.They could investigate him easily.But one stupid move would ruin everything.Elisa was again looking disturbed when they sat to eat.“What happened? What’s bothering you?” Edwin asked when he noticed she was lost.“Edwin I…” Elisa wanted to tell him about Janet, but then she stopped.She couldn’t tell him anything before she could find out the truth.He would go crazy and do stupid things.“I am feeling bored,” Elisa said,
Edwin was standing in front of his cupboard and noticed the pink shirt hanging there.This was the shirt Janet bought him forcefully.It was the time when they went shopping, and Janet insisted she wanted to buy some clothes for him with her salary.Edwin used to order his clothes from designers and all were tailored according to his size.But when he noticed her excitement, he didn’t stop her.But what made him scared when she walked toward the pink shirt?“Hey, I will not wear that shirt,” He almost yelled in desperation.“Why? This looks so cute. You always were those dark colors, I think this will suit you,” Janet said while pulling out the shirt from the rack and she forwarded it toward him.“Don’t you dare? I have light color shirts, too?” Edwin complained and Janet frowned.“White?” Janet asked, and Edwin shut his mouth.“Boring,” Janet said and forcefully handed the shirt to him.“Go and change it. We can always put it back if you hate it,” Janet said and Edwin couldn’t deny he
Elisa was looking at the pictures she had taken with Eric and Erica.She didn’t know when she would meet them again, so she wanted to keep them as memory.Erica was the cutest.Her character felt similar to Elisa all bubbly and chirpy while Eric was calm like Edwin.But after talking with them she found out that they rarely interact with Janet.She was suspecting Janet was suffering from something serious and she wanted to solve this matter hurriedly so that she could take her back and get her treated by someone best.It’s been five years.How could William let her suffer when he was a doctor himself?“What are you looking at?” Edwin came to call Elisa for dinner and he noticed how she was looking at some pictures and making faces.He wondered what had made her so intrigued, but his voice startled him, and she hid the photos hurriedly.Edwin frowned, noticing that, and he wanted to know what she was hiding from him.“What were those?” Edwin asked.“Those were… surprise… Yes, I was pre
“Come here,” Edwin walked toward Janet and wanted to pull her toward him, but Janet moved away from him before Edwin could touch her.She hid behind William like a child, but her eyes were anxiously looking at Eric and Erica.They were behind Elisa and she wanted to pull them away from her, but she was scared they would get hurt.Janet was feeling her headache slowly starting, but she was trying to fight it because this wasn’t the time she could care for her health.Her family was in danger and she wanted to protect them even though she did not know how.Elisa knew it would cause a problem if Edwin got angry but she couldn’t let Janet suffer.For Janet, they were strangers and she would never come with them willingly.Edwin did not know about her condition, and she couldn’t let him act impulsively.“Edwin, calm down. Listen to me,” Elisa held Edwin’s arm and tried to move him away from Janet, but Edwin slapped her hand away.“Don’t. How could you keep this matter a secret?” Edwin was a
“What is he doing here?” Edwin glared at William while asking Elisa.“Edwin, listen first.” Elisa wanted him to calm down.But thinking he was the one keeping Janet away from him all these years, how could he tolerate him?“There is no reason which can persuade me to keep him with us,” Edwin said and Elisa sighed.“Not even your children? Eric and Erica think he is their father, how would you explain to them? And Janet … don’t remember us. Why would she stay with a stranger?” Elisa asked, hesitating.“What do you mean by that?” Edwin asked anxiously.“Last time when I found her and went to meet her, she couldn’t remember me, and today, too. Didn’t you notice how she was looking at us like strangers?” Elisa asked, and Edwin remembered how she was refusing to come to him.Edwin was so worried she would leave him again that he didn’t think about it.“I know you hated him and you are not wrong. But they need him even though we don’t want him near them, we can’t be willful,” Elisa said.Ed
