Adrian“Adrian, do you love me?” she asks and I can see how broken she is. Of course, I love her. I am praying that they find that this is all wrong. That she is not the one behind all of this. I am praying that Alehandro, Meghan, the police and I are all wrong. That she is innocent. That she did not do it. I am praying for that so much. But for now, I cannot be so blind and just ignore all the evidence they have on her. I trusted her but it is hard to trust someone when there is proof against her. I cannot just take her word against my child’s safety. I cannot just choose to trust her and maybe all this is true. Maybe she is behind it all? Well, she lied to me once and almost destroyed me. Maybe that is just how she is. I cannot just assume all this regardless of how much I love her. I love Amy, too, and I want her back, safe and sound.“Yes, I love you, Ellie. But I also love my daughter. I need to find her. Please just give her back to me,” I tell her, my eyes are turning watery.
EllieI hate Adrian. I thought he could be the one person on my side. I thought he knew that I would never do that to him. I thought he trusted me, loved me. But I was wrong. I was so wrong. I was so wrong for loving him. Once again the world taught me a rough lesson on loving and trusting people. Once again I became the victim. The victim who easily lets others step on her. I hate Adrian. I know he will soon realize he was so wrong for accusing me. I took Amy as my own daughter. I loved her like my own. I would not even dream of hurting her. I lay in the small, dark room they had assigned me. It has a small window way up. A small 3 by 6 bed, an open toilet, a desk and a chair. I have never been so confined in such a room before. I feel the claustrophobia creeping into me every now and again. I wish my dark knight in shining armour would come and rescue me. I have not been able to eat ever since they put me in here. They had offered me rice with bean soup. It looked so unpleasant t
AdrianI cannot believe I accused Ellie falsely. I let Ellie be dragged by those officers. She begged me to listen to her. She begged me to not let them take her. She tried to tell me she was innocent. She tried to tell me. I was clouded. And now I am seated here in a hospital, looking at her pale body. She looks like she has not eaten for a long time. The detective told me that she almost drowned. She had refused to eat and had tried to drown herself with water in a bucket in her small bathroom in her room. The guard was lucky to have found her when he did and rushed her to hospital. She almost killed herself because of me. I almost lost her too. I had tried to see her in the morning but Reina had not allowed me to. She shouted and kept on reminding me that I was the reason she almost lost her best friend. It is true though. I should not have treated her as I did. I should have listened to her. I was only able to see her when Reina finally left to freshen up. She seems so peaceful
EllieI do not remember how I got to the hospital. I remember giving up on life and not wanting to breathe anymore under that water. I remember letting it go, and the next moment, I woke up with Adrian holding my hand. Why is he even here? I am kind of glad that he is holding my hand. But then I remember. I recall how he could not believe me. I recall how he did not hear me out even after I cried to him and begged him. I recall he, just like the others had condemned me to my doom. That he was the reason I had an excruciatingly painful two days. That he has just subjected me to torture. That I almost died because of him. I hate him. Why am I allowing him to hold my hand? I withdraw and order him to leave. I cannot look at that face. He betrayed me. He was supposed to protect me, to love me but he did not. Just like Ryan, he hurt me. I cannot handle this anymore. I feel pain from all the muscles in my body. I feel so fatigued and my head is throbbing. I have been having some trouble b
AdrianI fucked up. I fucked up big time. I need to know who is behind trying to frame Ellie. I need to find Amy. It has been a week since I last saw her. I wonder if the people with her are at least feeding her. I miss her, I miss her so much. My world is slowly breaking apart. I have not been at the office for the past week, but I know everything is in good hands with Job, my manager. I am planning to pass by there today. My employees know what is happening, as the news of Amy's disappearance has been in the news for the past few days. I am trying to avoid all the pity looks from them. Plus I know I am not in the right headspace to work right now. I just need to find my daughter right now. I failed her. I let evil inconsiderate people take her from me. I need Ellie to forgive me and I will find the one trying to frame her. I have a feeling that whoever is framing her is behind all of this. That must be someone who hates Ellie. Someone who was so intentional in breaking me and Ellie
EllieI have never been an impulsive person but I need to do this. I need to leave Adrian. I need to leave this place. I need to get my life together again. I have to move away from this toxicity. I have to love myself first. I write a resignation letter to the HR of Sage Enterprises and cc it to Adrian. I do not want to see him ever again in my life. He has caused me too much misery and pain. I finish writing the letter and go ahead to packing. I am not sure where exactly I am going to live but I need to leave this town. I was looking up some nearby towns that are quite average to live in. I decided to move to a small neighbouring town called Pentown. It is about an hour from here. I will start a new life there. No one knows me there. I will look for a new job, get some new friends and just work on myself. I need to flee from Adrian. I am still praying that they find Amy but I cannot be around here for that. I cannot be around the same people who almost killed me. I called the num
Adrian“Man, Ellie left town. I do not know where she moved out. It is killing me, everything is killing me,” I say as I take a shot of whisky. Leo had come over to check on me.“She did not leave an address? Have you tried calling her?” he asks. I hate how he has been so concerned about me the past few days.“Yes, I have but her line is out of service. I had tried to contact her best friend but she is not picking up. I have gotten the message. I think she wants nothing to do with me. I did her dirty. I almost got her killed. I am the villain in a lot of people’s stories nowadays.,” I say as I take another shot.We take a few more shots and Leo leaves later. I am glad he came around. I feel better hanging around someone who I do not cause misery. I am a bit tipsy when I head upstairs to my room. I am about to get to bed when my phone rings. It is a new number.“Mr. Sage. You refused to comply with us and even involved the police. I am afraid that you will not get to see your daughter
EllieI finally got a response from the applications. I got the waitress job. It is not that good a pay but it will do. I had saved a bit when I was in Sage Enterprises. I am planning to use the money to plan for this baby in my stomach. What a time to be pregnant! Plus pregnant for Adrian. If he knew, he would try to take care of his child. I will not let him know. I will raise this child alone until I am finally ready to face Adrian again. I have to give my all to love this baby. This is a new experience for me and I am so scared. I have not told anyone even Reina. I will tell her when she comes to visit me over the weekend. I am having some morning sickness but it is nothing I cannot handle. I am starting my new job tomorrow. I get ready for bed and drift off to sleep. I am sleeping a lot better now. I rarely get the nightmares. Maybe the surroundings also triggered the nightmares. I had thought of seeing a therapist but I think I will be okay. I just have to focus all my energy o
