The siblings were glad she finally came back to life and they couldn’t hide their joy as they smiled at her, with happiness, evident in their eyes. The doctor ran a cross-examination on Ellie and the results made the doctor confirmed that she was okay, only that, she would need some time to heal psychological and emotionally. It was as if Ellie wasn’t happy to have been resurrected back to life, as she was all gloomy and never put a smile on her face, no matter how hard Carla tried to make her laugh.After few days of keeping tabs on her, the doctor concluded that she was fit to be discharged, although, he warned never for her to be left all alone, as she was not mentally fit yet. To avoid trying to take her own life, the doctor advised Kevin to watched her closely. He recommended some activities to be carried out, which will make her heal fast, mentally and psychological, and go back to her old and real self. One of the recommendations made was for her to be moved to a new environmen
Thinking that Kevin was truly in love with her, Ellie kept on falling in love with him day by day. Kevin also tried hard to convince her that his love for her was real, by taking care of Ivory and providing for their needs even before they asked. Ellie decided not to further her education and stayed at home, raising her daughter as a stay at home mum. Kevin’s new job was really earning him quite well, as he catered for the needs of Ellie and Ivory and also sponsored Carla’s education, while at the same time, sponsoring his own education as well. He decided to go back to school and become an accountant which he had always dreamt of becoming.Most of the times, he do travel out of the town and whenever Ellie asked him the reason for that, he do tell her that it was an office assignment. Ellie never thought much of it, as all she wanted at that time, was to have memorable moments with her daughter and the man she loved. When Ivory started kindergarten and Ellie finally had some time to he
By the time Ellie and Kevin got married, Ellie was already 23, while Kevin was 25 years of age. After graduating from college, Kevin was able to secure a job as an accountant at the company he used to work as a driver, with the help of his boss. Everything was going on fine after their wedding, until three months after, when Kevin informed his family of going back to San Francisco, the city which they had moved from to Sacramento, where they currently were. Although, he had been frequenting San Francisco, claiming it was on an official assignment, this time around, he would be staying there permanently and would only be coming to visit his family once in a while.“I have something to tell you both. I will be moving permanently to Sans Francisco. In two days time to be precise,” Kevin announced to his family, on one of those nights they had dinner together.“What? In two days time? Why is that?” Ellie asked, surprised at what Kevin had said.“My boss has been transferred to our branch
After Ellie moved to Sans Francisco alongside with Ivory, nothing really changed about her relationship with Kevin, as he barely went home. Ellie had thought that would change if she moved in with him, but she was wrong. He slept most of his nights out, claiming he had to work overnight. Ellie tried to get to know her husband’s new workplace, but Kevin kept bringing up different excuses each time she tried to. He didn’t want her to know where he worked, but Ellie never thought much of it. As soon as she got back to Sans Francisco, she tried getting a job as a designer, which she loved doing the most. Luckily for her, she was able to get one as a part-timer. She shuffled between working as a designer and caring for her daughter. She began to adapt to Kevin not being around and in no time, it became part and parcel of her. Everything was going perfectly well, and she was happy with her new life. But she became happier when she found out she was pregnant with Kevin’s child. “Mrs. Sm
The day Ivory died; Ellie had left her at home with Kevin. It was on a weekend and Ellie had gotten a call from her boss that her attention was needed urgently. She hurriedly left home that morning, leaving Ivory in Kevin’s care and promising to be back as soon as possible. “Baby, mum needs to get to the office. Something urgent came up. In the meantime, stay with daddy and be a good girl. I won’t take long. I will make sure to come back as soon as possible” Ellie said to Ivory, who was munching her food happily. “No problem, mummy. Don’t stay long as I will be waiting for you to come back. When you are coming mummy, can you get me Ice-cream and cake?” Ivory said innocently, with her mouth filled with food, which made Ellie laugh. “I won’t take long princess and I will make sure to get you the Ice-cream and cake while on my way home. I love you and stay safe” Ellie said, giving Ivory a peck. “I love you too, mummy. Bye” Ivory said, smiling and waving at her mum and which gladde
She found herself walking in a garden which was filled with beautiful flowers. As she walked through the garden in her long flowery white gown, she felt the air brush through her, blowing her long dark curled hair, which was dangling on her shoulders. She was pleased with the serene in front of her and she closed her eyes, breathing in the fresh air and beaming with joy. She was busy appreciating the nature around her, when she had the giggling of a little child nearby. This laughter disrupted her admiration and she decided to trace where the sound was coming from. The more she walked, the closer the laughter became. After walking for a while, she stumbled on a woman, holding a little girl in her arms. The laughter was coming from the little girl the woman was holding in her arms. Although their backs were turned on her and she couldn’t see their faces, they both looked happy judging from the laughter of the little girl and their body movements. She watched as the duo played, while
As she watched Ivory’s casket being laid in the ground, Ellie’s heart ached. She felt as if her heart was being torn apart. She stood motionless, with her big budged eyes, which was as a result of crying. Her eyes were fixed on her casket and when she realized she wouldn’t ever set her eyes on her beloved daughter again, tears streamed down her cheeks. She didn’t shout, neither did she create a scene, she just stood there, crying silently in pain. She was too tried to cry and display her grief. So, all she could do was to cry silently as she bid her daughter a final goodbye. As she turned around to take her leave after bidding her daughter goodbye, she felt her legs too heavy for her to carry. She couldn’t bear the pain of leaving her daughter all alone in the underground, without her being by her side. Ivory had always being scared of being alone and Ellie wondered how she would be able to cope with being alone, all by herself. As she took each step heading towards home, her heart w
“What did you just say?” Kevin asked, his face narrowing down in suspicion.“You think that I am not aware? That you were cheating on me? I knew all along, even before I and Ivory came down here. I heard your conversation with Carla that night before you moved here. I didn’t make a scene out of it or confronted you about it because you said you never loved her. You said you were just with her for her money and nothing more. I heard you tell Carla that I am the one you love. You told her you were doing it for us all to live a good and better life, but I doubt that was true. Because if you do not love her, you wouldn’t have left Ivory all alone just to meet up with her. You wouldn’t have killed a child you claimed to be yours!!!!” Ellie’s voice shook with fury as her fists clenched, her face flushed red. Tears streamed down her cheeks, mingling with her anger as she faced Kevin with the painful truth.“What? You knew?’ Kevin asked, with the corners of his lips trembling, betraying his a
