AdrianEllie and I have been so good together and I attribute it to how transparent we have been with each other. The other day was hard for both of us. It was hard for me to tell her about my family betraying hers and it was hard on her side to take it all in. I hated seeing her like that but I am glad we got through it together. I am happy with how she has been letting me in emotionally and mentally. All I can say is that I am happy in the place I am with her now. I love this woman to death and I will not let a day pass without me showing her that. We went to the museum the other day. She said she likes outdoor activities so I planned a museum date for her. The weather was so nice with the sun not too hot for us to bear. The sky shines its blue colour on us. We went in the midmorning. I had carried some snacks for us in case we got hungry. And also knowing how much of a foodie Ellie is. I bought us canned colas, Some crisps, her favourite chocolate lunch bar and some pizza slices
EllieWhy is this happening to me? The one time that Adrian has decided to trust me with his daughter and I fuck it up? Where the hell could Amy have gone to? I remember kissing Adrian goodbye and having an amazing breakfast consisting of bacon and fried eggs. I finished the breakfast and decided to go and check on Amy only to find her not in her room. Her stuffed elephant had been left on the floor and the curtains on the window flowed easily. I looked around for her in her bathroom and all around the house, but to no avail. I had asked one of the house workers to help me look outside, in the garden and all around the house but we could not find her. My heart skipped and I did not know what to do as slowly tears started rolling down my cheeks. Where would she have gone to? I cannot lose her. Adrian trusted her in my hands. I had let him down. I regret not checking on her immediately Adrian left. I should have been with her, by her side. I should have been stroking her hair as she
AdrianI have experienced loss before. First, when I was young, I lost my mum. She had been sick with stage three breast cancer for the past two years. I remember when I came home from school that day, and she was making us supper. Mum had always liked making supper for us herself. She said she always enjoyed taking care of us. I had gone upstairs to my room to freshen up when the smoke alarm went off. I ran downstairs to find Mum lying on the floor, and the food was all burnt up. I panicked as I tried to get her up to no avail. I called the ambulance and then called my Dad. The ambulance arrived and took her. Seeing my mum on a stretcher traumatized me. Dad arrived 10 minutes after the ambulance team. I rode in the back of the ambulance with Mum. The whole journey scared me as they kept her on oxygen support. We arrived at the hospital and got the terrible news that Mum had cancer. Cancer that soulless monster that left my mum so frail. That monster that ripped off the happiness
EllieI cannot believe I lost Amy. I feel so terrible as I know all the souls present today, including Adrian, were secretly blaming me. I would also be blaming myself if I was in their shoes. I was the last one with her. I could have protected her better. I could have been with her and prevented all this fracas. Adrian has barely spoken to me throughout the day. I know he does not want to hurt my feelings, and with everything happening, I understand the distance. I just wish he could let me comfort him and be there with him. I could see the frustration and anguish on his face at the station. I could see how bitter and determined he was to find his daughter. I had failed him and Meghan. Even so, Meghan should not have kept on insisting that I had taken her baby. I understand that her mind is clouded with emotions. I understand that with everything happening, she may not think straight and may be quick to play the blame game, but she has to know that I, too, love that baby girl. I, t
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
