Ellie

I 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

    AdrianThe past few days have been torture. Seeing Amy in that bed every day when I go to visit her just breaks my heart. But I am glad she is back to me. I cannot wait for the day she will come back home with me. She is improving and the doctor said that she might come home tomorrow depending on how she responds. She has given her statement to the police. She cannot remember much. She did not get to see the people who took her. She was just blindfolded the entire time. I cannot even imagine the torture of that. She could hear their voices as they talked and could be able to identify them by their voices. I am so glad that she does not know that her mother is behind all of this. It could break her hurt. She does not need to know. She asked for her mum, and I told her she got into an accident and could not make it. I will tell her the truth when she is older. She does not need to know that her mother was a psycho who was obsessed with money and me and got her kidnapped so that I coul

  • STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love   The Pregnancy

    EllieI woke up late today. I am feeling extremely nauseous today. I do not take breakfast and I leave the house. Working at KJ’s has been so wholesome. I love the whole experience and the people there are just so nice. Miss Mary and Mr. Paul are just simply the best employers ever. The other day, they were telling us how they met. Paul was telling the story of how he was working in his father’s stables. Mary had come over to bring some pastries from her aunt. She was visiting the area in her aunt’s place. Paul said that he just took one look at Mary and knew he would marry her one day. I wonder whether men nowadays do that. Do they just look at a girl and be intentional in marrying her? The share of men that I have met have proved otherwise. Mary told us her point of view. Of how she did not like Paul but liked Paul’s brother instead, Mark. But after hanging out with both of them during her visit she did not like how aggressive Mark was and instead started falling for Paul. And th

    Adrian“Dad, can I get my room painted pink and have bows painted on the walls? Pretty please,” Amy says as we drive home.“You can have anything that you want darling,” I say. I finally got to take her home. She is so excited to finally go home, but I can tell she is sad about losing her mum. Meghan’s funeral is tomorrow. I know it is going to be hard for Amy tomorrow. I told Amy that the funeral was tomorrow when I got her from the hospital. The service is being held by Meghan’s mum. I called Meghan’s mum and informed her that Amy and I would be gracing the event. She kept on apologizing for everything that Meghan had done to us. I had asked her to keep the truth from Amy as I had not informed her of what exactly had happened. But I am glad to have her home with me finally. We passed by McDonalds and got some lunch before heading home. I have a board meeting in the afternoon so I drop her home first. I had particularly asked the housekeepers to move her to the room next to mine.

    EllieI am a bit anxious about today’s checkup. At least Levi is going to be there with me. I want to know that my baby is growing well inside there. 9 months seems like a long time. But I am planning to enjoy the whole journey. I take a picture of my belly. There is no bump yet. I wonder when it will start to show. I wish that Adrian was here with me during this journey, but well, he does not deserve to. He was behind almost killing me. He does not deserve to see his baby grow up. He already lost that right. I need to stop thinking about him. I get ready and make some pancakes. I cannot stand the taste of coffee nowadays so I make some tea. Levi is supposed to be here in the next few minutes. I love that he is doing this for me. He is a good friend. I have not been able to make any more friends here except for Miss Mary, Paul and Levi. I rarely see my neighbours as I come in really late. I am about to finish my breakfast when I hear the doorbell ring. It must be Levi. I open the

    “It is almost here Mrs. Sage. One more push,” the nurse in the delivery room says to me. I scream as I give one final push and I am rewarded when I hear a small cry. My son was finally here. I am crying as Adrian holds my hand and kisses me.“You were so brave my love,” he says and holds me.“Mr. and Mrs. Sage, here is your bouncing baby boy,” the nurse says as she hands me the baby wrapped up in a white shawl. He looks so tiny as he wriggles his hands and feet. I cannot believe I have a son. Tears of joy flow down my cheeks as Adrian leans over and kisses him. I have a son!Amy walks in the room and she is so excited to meet her baby brother.“He is so small I feel like I can break him,” she says as she holds him and we all laugh. My little happy family.“I want to name him after my father, Thomas. Thomas Sage,” I say smiling at Adrian as he holds him.“Hello Thomas Sage. I am your father and I love you so much,” he says kissing him again. I am so happy. I finally have my own litt

  • STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love   The Wedding

    EllieI hope the dress will still fit me. I have added on some weight ever since I fitted it on. I am getting married today! I am finally getting married to the love of my life. I cannot imagine that we got this far. After everything, we just found our way back to each other. I would have it no other way. I am avoiding eating anything today. I already feel so anxious and I do not want to add to it by eating anything in the morning. I have not seen or talked to Adrian since yesterday. It is bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding. There are a dozen people in my room right now. One is doing my hair, the other my makeup and the other is checking my nails. My thoughts are elsewhere as I let these strangers do everything to my body. I have 3 more months before the baby comes so I am not scared that he might come today. I wish my parents were here though. I wish my dad could walk me down the aisle. I wish they were here to see me so beautiful in white. I still remember

  • STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love   The Question

    AdrianI have decided. I will ask her today. I will ask her to be my wife today. I will propose to Ellie. There is no doubt about it now. She is the love of my life. I love how she just makes me feel. I love how hardworking and kind she is to everyone. I especially like how they are with Amy. She is just the best. I have seen how hard she has worked in building White and Co. Yes, I have helped her here and there, but she has brought that company from afar. It is now a month from when she started the company. White and CO were featured among the fastest-rising companies of the year. I also love how beautiful her belly bump is growing. I like talking to our baby as I rub her belly. She just makes the cutest mother ever. I love her with every fibre in my being. I have been planning for this day for the longest time ever. I want it to be perfect. I reserved us at the hotel where I once was to propose to her but found out about the pendant. I need to do it right this time. I have reser

    EllieSitting there next to Adrian everything else does not matter anymore. I love this man. Despite everything I love him so much. Yes, I am scared, but I am willing to try again. If it means trying with him. I cannot even believe he is willing to support White and Co. I think I forgot the heart that this man owns. I think I forgot how nice and caring he is. I am getting money for the company for free! I had been thinking about bringing back the company for a while now. But the biggest obstacle was always the capital to start with. I gathered courage today and asked for a loan from Adrian and see how that turned out. I can never be happier. I get to have the company and the man back. I am going to work my ass off for that company. I need to make the White name great again. I feel happy. Here in his arms, I am happy. We lock eyes and I love him. I love this man. How did I get here? We hug again and Adrian leads me upstairs. We get to his room and it feels so nostalgic. I kiss him a

    AdrianEllie is finally coming home to me. She called me yesterday and informed me that she could accept the offer. I could not have been happier to hear that. I was with Leo when she called. Finally, the universe is giving me a second chance to make things right with Ellie. Finally, I can have her back. I get to see her every day. I get to take her to checkups and watch our baby grow in her womb. I was so happy I drove straight home to Amy. She was also equally excited to hear that Ellie would come home. Now I am here waiting for her to arrive. I had sent some people to help her in the moving out. I had a meeting in the evening and could not make it to help her out. But I am sure she will not have to lift a finger. It is almost eight pm when I see the vehicles driving into the compound. I cannot hide the excitement especially when I see her getting off the car. I rush over to her. She has on black sweatpants and a T-shirt but looks as beautiful as ever.“Hey there,” I say walking u

    EllieI love Amy. I love the energy she brings to me. I feel so warm inside every time she is around. But going back to live with them? I am not sure I can handle it. Seeing Adrian all around. It makes me feel happy and anxious at the same time. I want to be around Adrian but I am still not sure whether this is the right thing for me. What if something bad happens again when I am there? I already have a life here. I have a job, I have Levi, Mary and Paul. I am already forming something for myself here. Do I really want to leave it all? Just because Adrian asked me to? Just because Adrian wants his whole family together? Am I willing to take that risk? I really am not sure about all this. Amy and Adrian are preparing to leave. I have asked Adrian for some time to think about it. I need to weigh down all my options. I need to know and make the right decision for my baby. He comes first in my life.“I will miss you, Ellie; I wish you lived with us, and we could play dress up all day lo

    AdrianI cannot stop thinking about Ellie and the baby. I have not yet told Amy about it. I plan to tell her tonight so that we can head over to Ellie’s with her tomorrow. She will be so excited to hear about it. She has always had a soft spot for Ellie. I hope Ellie can be that mum that she has never had and that she accepts to come back. I want to take care of her and the baby together with Amy. I want to have a perfect little family with them. I am planning to ask her tomorrow if she can come back with us. That way I will ensure that they lack nothing. I just want to win back Ellie’s heart again. At the company, things have been going well. I love how Job is working and everything he is doing. Throughout the week I have been so busy with meetings and signing deals. I even got a deal with the prestigious Stanford Enterprises. Working at the office has given me a sense of relief. At least my mind was occupied most of the time and I did not just sit down the whole day thinking of E

    EllieDoes he really want to know me again? He wants to know my baby. I feel so distant from that. I want to go back to how things were with him. But do I know him anymore? Which Adrian is he? The one in front of me or the one who denied me in front of everyone. I cannot allow my baby to be brought up with uncertainties.“I cannot keep my baby away from his father. I do not want him to be robbed of his father,” I say after a long silence.“You know the gender. It boy?” he asks, his face beaming.“No, it’s just some intuition. I hope it is a baby boy, though,” I say, giving him a weak smile.“I hope it is a baby boy, too,” he says, returning my smile.“Well. I am not sure that things can go back to how they were Adrian. You hurt me too much. But I am willing to allow you to see your child. And for his sake, I can try and get along with you,” I say, and I hope I do not regret it in the end. It has always been my wish to bring up my kids in a complete home. I can try to get along with h

    EllieMy hands are still shaking. What the hell was that? I felt a little happy to see him. Seeing him just made me realize how much I missed him. I still miss him. I still love that man despite everything he has done to me. He still makes me nervous and those few moments when our hands touched were the best. I felt some electricity go through me. I love him. I love him but he hurt me. He was apologetic, though, and sounded like he meant it. Maybe I should forgive him and start over. But I cannot make it that easy for him. He needs to earn my trust back. I need to know that he will stay by my side this time forever. I need to tread carefully. I felt bad not telling him about his baby yesterday., He would have been so happy to hear that we are having a child together. I should have given him my new number. Maybe give him a chance to make things better. It felt so nice seeing him again. I have not talked to Levi ever since we came out of the party. I owe him a lot of explanation. Toni
