Elena's POV.“Are you reborn?” he asked his face puzzled.Why would he think of this? It's a hidden fact and I can't even be open about it, I thought hard for what I could tell him to dispute his words. Looking at him, I smiled.“Why would you think I'm reborn? Do I look familiar to someone you know? This question is really throwing me off.” I said while avoiding eye contact with him. “No, you are just acting strange and all. And the way you get scared just by hearing his name is alarming, one would think you guys were lovers in the past life or something.” He said chuckling.I scoffed at him, “Do we look like we are made to be? He's my arc enemy, he pressured my parents to sell me off in exchange for money. How would you want me to look at him, lovingly?” I stood up and made the bed, I was getting myself back slowly and he was pissing me off by calling Williams my lover. “I didn't mean to say it that way though, it was just a harmless joke I swear. I'm sorry if I hurt you by sayin
Mason's POV.“I don't get you, Mason. What do you mean higher!” She asked me her voice hushed as though she was whispering as she talked.“Nevermind my dear, just get ready. I'll be leaving soon to your house, do you have anything you want to get there.” I asked her as I took a bite from my toast, it was good and I winked at the chef causing her to smile widely.“Let's get the restraining order first and also give the police my statement, it won't even take much time. There's someone I want to get but it's not time yet. When it's time, I'll let you know.”“Okay, my lady. Now dig into your food, before it gets more cold. You've been talking since you came downstairs, I tend to wonder who's worse between you and Vy.”She sat down to eat, not talking throughout. When she finished eating, she carried her plates to the kitchen. After which she left and head upstairs to the room.I finish up my meal and drop two thousand dollar bills beside my plate. Calling the chef, “Azalea!”“Yes boss, I
Elena's POV.“But how come? How did he die, I can swear we saw him last night! Mason even called him when we arrived home.” I said to the inspector who just gazed at us.Mason sat on the chair, “So what you're saying is that the chief of police I spoke to yesterday is dead? Don't you think it's suspicious, his death?”The inspector leaned forward in his chair, “I did find it suspicious but then a warning note was found next to him, and the name Elena was written on it.”I sat down on the chair, his words took me by surprise. “Who dropped the note? Do you have an idea on who it could have been?”“No! We don't and that's why we are having issues right now, the note was in blood. It was written with the chief's blood, but we couldn't find any tip or lead to what could have been used.”I looked at Mason, he put his hands on mine, rubbing it. The action seemed to calm me but I couldn't take my mind off the fact that the chief was dead. Could it have been Williams? But then why would he do
Mason's POV.I walked into the complex building as I had been directed, I couldn't see Elena anywhere in the main police station. What could she be doing here?Entering the complex I heard the overflowing conversations, “Why can't she have a restraining order, Judge Conner? Is there anything she did that is preventing her from getting a restraining order!” “No, no it's not like that. I just didn't seem it necessary for her to get a restraining order because of her supposed to be ex husband, from what I've heard he's just getting frustrated because of the rejection.”“Then it's high time, he learnt to accept rejection. And you refusing to give in to this woman because you don't know her or because you're friends with Williams means you support injustice, I'll be ready to call and inform the other judges, and let them know how you treat your clients.”“I'm sorry, Mr Brown. I'll make sure I get it for her now.” The judge apologized looking at Elena.I looked at my wristwatch, time was a
Mason's POV.It wasn't my car, I had managed to swerve just in time to avoid the incoming trailer driving on high speed. It crashed right into the car behind me.“Why would you take your eyes off the road? We almost died, don't do that again please.”“Stop sounding like I purposely did it, you were looking at me with such pretty eyes. What would you have me do, ignore them?” Elena blushed, her face turning red. “Just stop teasing me and start the car already, you are already running late. My father doesn't like being kept waiting.”“Well, that's not really any of my problem you know? He hasn't fully accepted me into the family, so why'd you think I would want to hurry up to see him. I'm pretty sure he's going to ask me the same question as last time.” I said, inserting the key to start the car.The car wasn't starting, and I growled in frustration. We were packed on the highway, I knew I couldn't care less but then keeping a woman under this weather would be evil of me.She looked at
Mason's POV.What was he doing here, did Mr Walker invite him? And if so, why?Elena cowered in fear and moved closer to me, “Did you call him here? How come he's here?”“I don't know. I think your father invited him to come today. If it's your dad then we need to be alert, Williams has your dad in a hook like a puppet manager.”We watched as Williams walked to the other side of the car, opening the door. The legs of a woman popping out first, before her face. Who was she? William's new play toy?“Oh no! He's dating is secretary, that witch. She had the audacity to follow Williams here, I always knew she had eyes on him. Bitch!” Elena spat, her voice laced with disgust.“You both have met before? How come, and why would he bring his secretary to the meeting? I can understand guards but not girlfriends.”“He probably has concocted something evil with my father regarding money, let's just go in. I don't want to have any discussion with him, he'd ruin my mood.” She said as she turned aro
Mason's POV“You want me to divorce Elena? For Williams? Hell no!” I stood up in annoyance, “That's why you called me and that scallywag over? To separate my wife from me? Man you trippin frls!”“Mason, that is no way to speak to an Elder. He is still your father in law for now I guess, till I get Elena for myself. Show him respect at least.” Williams scoffed.“And what gives you the right to say such if I may ask, huh? You've been stalking your so-called wife since your rejection, and you think I'll give her up to you?” “Are you joking? Or probably in a trance. She rejected me because you came into the picture. If not for you, she'd have been by my side and I would be the one treating her like a queen.”“You want her to be submissive to you, don't you huh? You want someone you can punish and beat up each time she makes a mistake, you don't need to say it. Your attitude shows enough.”“Enough, the both of you! Mason you have no other choice than to divorce Elena. That is the only way
Elena's POVI have never seen someone fight so hard for me. At this point, I couldn't help but want to be with Mason so bad. I looked at my father and then at Williams whose smile reminded me of the day he stabbed me.“Taking the case to court means revealing your dirty deal to the whole world, knowing who you are. I'm very sure, you wouldn't want that to happen. So now, here's my deal. As you know, Elena is now my own wife and I have every right to her. It is there on that paper. I'll advice that whatever deal you had at first be kept still or if you don't want that, I'll triple the amount again.” Mason said, confidence beaming in his voice.My father's eyes widened, he looked at Williams and then at Mason. “It is settled then, Mr Brown you're now my son in law. I hope you treat my daughter right and well, I'll dimiss the meeting now. We can all rest.”Mason looked at me, he reached out for my hands and I put mine in his. He rubbed and kissed it. I coul feel my heart racing. I was fa
Mason’s povThe rain poured down as the three of us stood in front of the grave without an umbrella nor a raincoat. Instead we just stood with our heads down letting the rain pour on our frames without a word. Elena fell to her knees, her lips pale yet she refused to leave the rain. She knelt down while Damien and I stood with our hands in our pocket, calls kept coming in from our phones but we both didn't lift up the device to even take a little peek.Why did they call? We knew why they called, we knew why they wanted our attention so bad. Because of the burning company, let it burn to flames and reach the point of bankruptcy after all she was the only reason I created the company in the first place. Now she's gone, I give her the company as her farewell gift.I took out the glass cigar box before walking to a corner which was covered from the rain and lit up the cancer stick. One drag...then another, Damien came to stand beside me, pulling out a tobacco to place between his lips
Third person POVVivian's eyes fluttered open, only to see someone she didn't expect to see again till she left this world.While she stared at her stalker, a woman in red heels walked towards Elena's room with a gun in her hand and she hummed a familiar tune in her head with her hands tapping on her gown in a particular rhythm and her steps towards the room skipping as she danced to the song in her head like a total psychopath.Her eyes widened with joy and her hair tied to a neat bun on her head while her short red gown gave her a very sexy yet dangerous feeling. Her beautiful heels tapped on the floor elegantly as she danced right in front of Elena's room.Elena heard the sounds of footsteps and turned to look at the door where the footsteps got louder but disoriented like the person was... dancing and humming a very familiar tune mixed with a very familiar voice.The door sprang open and Rose came in and shut the door slowly behind her before she moved to dance again while spinnin
Damien's POVI watched as she picked up the phone to talk to Elena, completely ignoring my presence even as I tried to make myself obvious by serving her tea or giving her fruits.Her eyes were still focused on the device in her hand without even turning her pupils for a second."You better attend to your man before he swells up like a bullied child" she paused, confused , then turned to look at me. Instead of looking like the bullied child like I did a second ago, I only looked back at her like I was actually bored and not at all seeking attention."Should we go out?" I asked but she didn't seem to be hearing her words as she was only focused on Elena who was in front of her. With the background, it was obvious she was still in the hospital. It seems she's going to be there till her arm heals completely and I'm sure that's where the therapist is coming to visit them both."Are you two getting closer?" Asked the mischievous little Vivian who seemed to have invincible horns in her head
Vivian's POVJust as we finished eating, he stood up to pay the bills before we entered the car of the driver who had been waiting for us for over five minutes."Sorry for the delay" Damien apologized while I rested against him, too tired to talk."It's alright" the man replied before driving off, I could hear him describe places in Europe but that's not what I was mostly concerned about, I just wanted to see it. The tower of love."We are here." I could hear someone say and without opening my eyes I knew it was Damien. He picked me up, placed me on my wheelchair while I struggled to open my eyes. Good thing he gave me a pair of sunglasses in advance."Where is it?." I looked around but couldn't find it. He stood behind me and turned my wheelchair around making me marvel at the beautiful sight which stood in all its glory."Let's go take pictures" he called a photographer he saw who walked over to take pictures of us."Sir pick her up instead, it looks too formal with the wheelchair"
Damien's POVI felt nervous as she walked over without speaking a word. I could feel a thin sheet of sweat slightly covering my forehead as she walked over to the big sign.Did she want to tear it down? She doesn't like something like this or maybe she wanted something more glamorous.My hands fumbled with each other and I pulled off my glasses to clean them before placing them back on. She got there with her shaky legs and I wanted to walk over to support her just in case but I know even if anything could happen I'll be there on time no matter what."Yes I'll marry you" Her words broke through my whole being and I shivered as my teary eyes met hers and a bright smile followed her words. I couldn't help but rush over to embrace her, before my hands could wrap around her she suddenly raised her hand to stop me."Where is it?" She looked around as if searching for something which confused me as I looked around with her too."What are you searching for?" "You didn't forget the ring did
Vivian's POVI sat in the plane looking around excitedly when he placed his hand on mine."Rest or you'll just tire yourself out" he spoke softly but I wasn't having any of it, I was already tired but I wouldn't tell him that, it's just a symptom. I'm sure he knew of the symptoms already, maybe he just wanted to act like it didn't exist and o wouldn't mind."No, I'm so bored, I want to play" I was cut off by a pair of soft lips smashing against mine. I mumbled and whined as he deepened the kiss and I couldn't help but feel fireworks burst behind my eyelids."There are children on the plane" a voice interrupted making me push away but the man in my arms wasn't allowing it as he pressed my body against him further but giving me a breathing space. I tried to push him away but his hands held mine. Even when I tried biting his tongue it didn't stop his wondering tongue as his tongue sank in to explore my whole mouth making me feel like an art being explored beautifully.I finally gave in t
Elena's POVI stared at the man who adjusted the bed cover once again with his mind unstable. "She'd be fine" this sentence seemed to be what he had been waiting for as he finally sat down but his legs moved up and down indicating he wasn't calm yet."What would you like to eat?" seeing he still wasn't stable but he was nice enough to ask for what I'll love to eat, my heart warmed up."Porridge" I didn't want to stress him. He might come back with the burger I craved for only to be sent back so that I wouldn't eat it. This almost made me pout like I was being punished but I held my sorrows and asked for plain porridge which literally had no taste."Is that what you really want?" He raised his head to ask me and I stuck out my tongue with a childish smile on my face. Of course that wasn't what I wanted but I couldn't tell him that unless he'd be torn between listening to the nurse and getting me the food."Yes" I should have known this man had something up his sleeves.He walked out f
Elena's POVI slowly opened my eyes squinting at the brightness of the room but someone stood up to block the sun which made me open my eyes wide easily."You need to train so badly. It seems everyone is just against you" were the first words I heard of the so familiar man and my heart skipped a beat then suddenly contrasted as he touched my face leaning towards me."I missed you" he whispered, his head resting on mine as my lips parted slightly and everything I felt like saying was taken back with a sob escaping my lips instead as I burst into tears."I'm sorry" my lips quivered while he shook his head with a small smile on his tired face."It's fine" I looked around to see the absent Vivian and a question mark seemed to appear on my face."What of Vivian?" Hearing this question, he suddenly paused and his eyes flickered around in suprise as if realizing something. He rushed out of the room without answering and I felt scared. Not caring about my situation, I pulled the needle out i
3rd POVMichaella grinned as she quickly picked up her phone to call the person who was on her mind. If she really needed help, it's so silly that she hadn't thought of Mabel before even though the two of them were sort of enemies.The phone rang just once before it was answered."And to whom do I owe this call" "Don't act so high and mighty. I need your help for something and I need it quick before it becomes useless" Mabel raised her brow with her mouth curling up onto a smile which would make anyone who saw her stay clear of her immediately."You do know everything depends on how good your deal is right?" Mabel tilted her head with her hand tapping on the kitchen table while every maid rushed to do their duties with no one daring to slack off."Actually it's not a deal, it's something we would both benefit from" "Does it have anything to do with ending Elena's life? Because that's what I crave for so bad right now""Yes, and this is the perfect opportunity to do so. She's at the
