Elena

That voice. Uncle Simpson. My body trembled at the closeness, yet the distance between us was equally wide. He stood a few feet away from me, and I could tell that he found it difficult to move his feet.

He would have already wondered if this was a dream, or if it was real. “Elena, my child. Is that you? Please, tell me you’re the one. Or do I miss you so much that I’ve started imagining things?”

At those words, I felt so bad for Uncle Simpson that I turned around swiftly, showing my face to him.

My heart was in my mouth, not because I was scared, but due to the suddenness of everything. I didn’t do anything wrong, after all, hence, I had no reason to beret over anything.

The hidden joy buried at the bottom of my heart exploded at the moment I saw Uncle Simpson take a few unsteady steps backward.

This proud man… Crying… Uncle Sinpson was crying because he didn’t believe he could ever meet me again in this lifetime.

I could feel his pain, because I had the same thought. I pl

    Elena “Oh, Elena, my child, you have suffered. You really have been through a lot.” Uncle Simpson remarked, grabbing my hand tightly. It was as if he wanted to glue my palm to his and be sure I was really the one. He didn’t wish to let go, and I could feel it. “Uncle…” I also grabbed his hands tightly, but still made sure not to overdo it. I stared at this man who seemed to have aged many years since the day I left. Searching his gaze, I tried to find something to say to dissuade him. I wanted to tell him I was okay, and that he should just rest assured that I wasn’t going anywhere. However, I only stared at him with conflicted emotions. How could I say something to him and mean a different thing? No. I wouldn’t do that. It was better for everyone to separate on a clean slate. I wasn’t ready to face Mrs Simpson and her son anymore. “I’m fine, Uncle, you have no reason to worry at all.” Being the observant veteran Uncle Simpson was, I knew he already picked whatever was going on in

    ElenaI didn’t need to turn around to know that the person who spoke up just now is none other than my dearest mother-in-law. I don’t know what tricks she has up her sleeves right now, but I really don’t give a damn! Maybe she finally got tired of hiding behind the pillar. One may never know.I had no plans of acknowledging someone as fickle as Delores Simpson. These types of people who felt they could only be close to others until they lost their value to them are the most dangerous. One might never know when they even got destroyed by those sorts of people. I wasn't surprised when everyone else ignored her, though.“Elena, please say yes. Please… Please… Please…” No matter how cute Valerie’s expressions were, I found no reason to accept their offer. They were being ridiculous to think I would leave Grand Ambience to manage the Simpson Group. It has never been my plan to leech off the Simpsons, and it never will. “Valerie Simpson, don’t you feel any shame? How could you do this to y

    Ronan“How could I just lie down here in the name of being sick.” I won’t accept this. I need to find Elena without her knowing I was snooping around. How could I just sit here and wait without doing anything? Elena came back to me. She’s not dead. I don’t know how she did it, but I must see her now. “Elijah, I need to visit the old mansion. Prepare the vehicle.” I didn’t wait for Elijah to even react from his shock when I decided to put myself together and do this. I already called Z to send me Elena’s current location, and I was taken aback when he responded just now. Elena visited dad because he was the only one in the family who was still good to her up to the time she left. How could my wife be somewhere, and I’ll be watching her through pictures and videos while lying on a hospital bed? “Boss, if you do this, Ms Jones won’t forgive you easily. Don’t forget she already hid from you for so many years. She wouldn’t be willing to meet you so easily.” How could a grown ass man be

    Ronan“Darcy Taylor, where the heck did you hide the paparazzi this time around, huh?” I shut the car door and stepped down from the vehicle, looking toward a specific corner. She trembled when my sight landed on her, but I didn’t care. I had no intention to share the same space with this two-faced bitch. I might just go away for murdering someone with such thick skin as hers.Darcy kept shaking her head, but I knew she was just shocked that I found out about her schemes. This was just a conjecture, but seeing her reaction now, I knew I couldn’t be more right than I already am. How could I have been this stupid? I was really a fool all these years. Every time we got together or found ourselves in compromising situations, our pictures ended up in the public domain. Even our videos were never spared. Until I saw her video where she narrated to the media about my family stepping all over her because she wasn’t from a powerful background like ours, I was still of the view that there wa

    Elena“You know you don’t need to come with me, right? I’m leaving town briefly, Valerie. Where I’m going, you cannot come with me. Just go back home and take care of your parents.” I tried to dissuade this stubborn mule for the umpteenth time, but she wouldn’t even respond to me. Knowing Valerie as much as I do, I needed no one to tell me that she had already made up her mind.I wouldn’t have a problem with her coming along on a normal day, since I was already back anyway. Everyone who needed to see me had already done that, and I didn’t stand a chance of avoiding them anymore. However, this was Valerie we were talking about here. Valerie Simpson. How could I allow her to know about the existence of my son-A Simpson I secretly hid? I wanted Liam to live a peaceful life without worrying about a thing. How could I allow the Simpsons to come into his life at this point? Wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?“Elena, if I hadn’t known you long enough, I would have sworn you really want t

    Elena“Hubby, aren’t you done yet? I hope you haven’t forgotten about our plans.” This should be my fourth message to Ronan in the last thirty minutes. I’ve been texting him all night, but no reply.Today is our third wedding anniversary, and he was never free to celebrate the first or the second anniversary. My heart swelled with so much joy after persuading hubby non-stop, and he finally agreed. The decoration I made could make anyone a hopeless romantic. I just can’t wait for hubby to get here. The white lace tablecloth, scented candles, and scattered rose petals looked so beautiful, but everything looked out of place since I was the only one at the table. It’s already 10 o'clock , and the cream on the cake was almost melted completely. Even the candles were nearly burned out. “Hubby, where are you?” [Ring!][Ring!!][Ring!!!]Is that Ronan? “Hello, Auntie?"“Elena, dear, happy third anniversary! Time flies so fast, doesn’t it?

    Elena I remained in the same sitting position, staring blankly at the divorce agreement. I didn’t even remember how long I’d been in this same spot.“Ronan, when I grow up, will you really marry me?” I was young and naive and allowed the words of the adults to influence me.“Yes. Let’s get married when you grow up.” Ronan replied cheerfully. His face was warm and innocent. He had the brightest of smiles that were only reserved for me. When the sun shone on his white shirt, my young heart wavered, and I knew he was the one for me. I was so little, yet my heart settled on him and never changed after that.Why didn’t I wake up from that childhood fantasy when he started dating Darcy? Why didn’t I wake up when his father had to force him to marry me three years ago?When did everything change?...I walked toward the dressing table, and grabbed the divorce agreement Ronan dropped and began to read.“For Mr. Ronan Simpson to gain his freedom from Ms. Elena Jones, Ms. Jones will be paid an

How…“First of all, congratulations, Mrs. Simpson. You’re pregnant.” A young doctor walked into the room, dressed in a white coat, broke the news with a gentleman's smile, looking handsome.“Calm down, ma’am. Just take a deep breath, okay? You’re in the hospital.” “Doctor, you said I’m pregnant? Are you sure you have the right diagnosis? How did I get here?” I can’t believe this. When was the last time Ronan even touched me?“Mrs. Simpson, you passed out in your room last night. Your housekeeper brought you here. He’s waiting outside as we speak.” Oh, so that’s what happened, huh?“I’m sorry, ma’am, but we need to abort the baby. It’s the only way to keep you safe.”...?I just found out about my pregnancy, and now I need to abort the baby to keep me safe. Safe from what? Did I have an ectopic pregnancy?

    Elena My talks with Valerie were all light conversations about catching up on a lot of old time stuff. I really missed her, and no matter what her brother did, I could never punish Valerie for his misdeeds.Now, all I had to do was to take her word for it and visit Uncle Simpson. According to Valerie, he had been grieving since the day he heard about my diagnosis. It was so bad that they feared his old condition that had been stable all these years might relapse. The main point was that if it relapsed, they couldn’t be so sure that it wouldn’t claim his life this time around. He really took the information too badly..After all, he was already convinced that I stopped contacting him because I died. I could never allow Uncle Simpson to suffer so much and keep grieving for me when I was safe and sound. I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself if anything happened to him. Now, my car zoomed into the old mansion of the Simpson family, and the driver prompted me that we were here. Looking a

    Elijah Greene“Calm down, boss. Please calm down. I’ll tell you everything you need to know, but let’s not talk about seeing her now, okay?” I spoke to Ronan as if he were a child that I needed to coax with a piece of candy. Ronan Simpson couldn’t believe what he was hearing. His assistant truly treated him like a child, huh? I knew I might just start sending out applications for employment in the next minute. “Do you want to find another job, Mr Greene?” The boss’ words caught me unawares, and I even choked on my spit. Didn’t I just jinx myself. As soon as I thought about it, he said it. That’s some sick shit right there. I got a wife to wed soon enough, and I couldn’t bear to lose my job. Not now, not ever. My eyes bulged from the shock, and I couldn’t believe my ears. Wait. I might have gotten something wrong, because I don’t get it. “Did the boss just call me Mr Greene? What the heck? Isn’t this what people usually refer to as telepathy?” I mused silently, allowing my jaws tt

    RonanI had to do a lot to finally get Benson to bring my mobile phone here. I couldn’t believe my own housekeeper paid more attention to my old man than to me, his boss. What’s worse, I couldn’t even threaten to fire him. Since Elena left, the had never been the same. Even after giving him so many months off to spend more time with his family, he still returned sulking. I realized there was nothing I could do to make him return to the old Benson I knew. Since he silently Ames me for Elena’s departure, I had to resort to cheap tricks to get him to release my phone to me. In the end, he couldn’t resist the temptation of seeing Elena back in the house. So, with the promise of seeing Elena again, Benson disregarded my father’s instructions and returned my phone. I bet he missed my ex-wife more than I did, huh?“Boas… B…Boss… Boss… You won’t believe this.” Elijah rushed into my room with a flustered look. He was so agitated that I wondered if anyone was chasing. When I looked behind hi
