STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Reveal
AdrianI keep on wishing that this is just a big bad nightmare. I keep on wishing that I get to see my Amy again. I cannot anymore. The police keep on saying that they are investigating but have no leads. We have all been called to the station and reported a statement. I particularly did not like how they handled Ellie. They treated her like she was a suspect. Ellie could never do this to me. She has been by my side all through, comforting me and just being there. She could never. Alehandro has not called me back. I know if he has not called he has nothing substantial to provide. Where could she be? Who could have taken her? I am seated in the living room with a shot of whisky and Ellie by my side. People I do not know keep on coming in and out and consoling Meghan. More than half the people there are just Meghan’s friends. She looks miserable. She does not eat and comes to my house first thing in the morning to ask if I have heard anything about Amy. I guess she loved her after al

EllieIt is a bright Sunday morning as I wake up and head to the bathroom. I just started my period. I hate the feeling that comes with having them. I swallow some painkillers before heading to the shower. I take a cold shower and instantly feel better afterwards. I am putting on my clothes when I hear a knock at my door. Who could be coming to the house so early in the morning? I am not meeting up with Reina till later in the evening. I had planned to head over to Adrian’s first and then meet up with Reina.“Coming! Give me a minute,” I say as I put on my jeans and head over to the door.I unlock the door and do not believe what I see.“Ellie White, you are under arrest for the kidnapping of Amy Sage. You are to remain silent as anything you say can and shall be used against you in a court of law,” The uniformed policewoman says as the male officer puts handcuffs on me. All this is happening so fast that I cannot process what is happening.“What do you mean? I did not kidnap Amy. I

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
Last Updated : 2024-08-15STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Resignation
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

“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
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Turn
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
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Move In
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
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Decision
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
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Visit
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
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Playbacks
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
STOLEN HEARTS : A Billionaire's Deceptive Love The Approach
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
