Ellie headed back home in annoyance, for having failed to expose Kevin’s secret. She promised herself never to give up and look for the perfect timing to expose him again. Kevin on the other hand, was still at work. He had returned back home with Carlos to his house. He watched over him as he settled into the chair in his study room and took a sip of water from the glass cup placed on his table. Kevin still remembered the first time he stepped into Carlos’ mansion and he had never thought back then that, he would someday be by his side, watching over him. He thought about the determined look on Ellie’s face and he knew she wouldn’t stop until she achieved her aim. He had to find a way to stop her as he wasn’t strong enough to face Carlos’ wrath. He knew what Carlos was capable and he had witnessed how people who betrayed him ended. He never wanted to suffer the same fate as them.“Is there something you need to tell me?” Carlos asked, as he removed his glasses from his eyes and looked
“You are surprised I know about that? Well, some things are not meant to be hidden forever,” Clark laughed, watching Kevin squirm. Kevin wondered how he had gotten to know about his affair with Nicole and at that moment, he became engulfed with fear. He knew Clark didn’t like him and had been looking for a way to get rid of him. Now that he had finally gotten a chance, he wouldn’t stop at anything to make him vanish into thin air. He knew Clark wanted something from him, which was why he had confronted him with his secret, if not, he would have gone to Carlos directly to divulge his findings to him. “What do you want?” Kevin asked, wanting to know what Clark needed from him, in exchange for keeping his secret from Carlos. “Do you know why I have a bit of liking for you even though I detest you so much for having a way to my father’s heart? Because you are so smart, and you decode things easily. I will tell you want I want but I would rather do that over a glass of wine. Come over
Everything was going accordingly as Kevin had planned. Just like he and Clark agreed, he arranged his meeting with Ellie at their home and made him have his way with her against her will. Despite Ellie’s pleas that night, Kevin never listened, nor did he care as what he was after was to satisfy Clark’s need and make him shut his mouth. What was agreed on to be a one-off thing, gradually turned into a daily activity, as Clark couldn’t get enough of Ellie. At first, when Clark suggested for the deal to continue, Kevin didn’t want to agree, but when Clark stated that he would be paid for each night spent with his wife, Kevin immediately gave in to his demand. Each night, Clark kept on getting intimate with Ellie against her will. There was no way for her to seek for help, as her phone had been seized and she was always locked up in her room. The only time she was free was when she had to clean herself up, in preparation for Clark’s next visit. She was always tied to the bed before Clar
In the blink of an eye, Kevin was lying on the floor motionless, with blood gushing out from his head. Realizing what she had done, her hands began to shake, making the remaining part of the broken flower vase, which she was still holding in her hand slip off, and shattered on the floor. Ellie fidgeted as she looked at Kevin, who was lying on the floor groaning in pain and was gradually losing consciousness. Although he had hurt her a lot, she still never wished for him to die. All she wanted was to be free from his torment, but she never knew her drastic action would cause the scene right in front of her. At that moment, she was on the fence and didn’t know what to do; whether to run as far as her legs could carry her at that moment she had the chance to or to save Kevin’s life. After giving it some thought, she decided to go for the former. She hurriedly packed the things she could lay her hands on and hurried to the door, ready to leave but her kind nature and guilty conscience w
“How is Edward doing now? Is he showing any sign of improvement?” Stephanie asked, with her legs crossed, while taking a sip out of her coffee. “He is still in coma, but the doctor said he might hopefully wake up soon” Ellie responded, caring less about Edward’s condition. “I know it’s hard on you seeing him in such a condition he is in. It must be so disheartening for you” Stephanie said with pity, sympathizing with her daughter. “Disheartening? No, it isn’t. Everything is working in my favor, and this is a golden opportunity I need to make use of judiciously” Sophia responded, beaming with joy. This surprised her mother, as she had thought seeing Edward in such a condition, would break her heart. “You are happy he is in such condition? I thought you love him?” Stephanie asked, surprised by the happiness that was evident in her daughter’s eyes. “Love? Because I have been fighting to have him all to myself, you think I love him? No, I do not. I am only fighting for my interes
On rushing to the hospital, Sophia found Daniel and Allison in Edward’s room, with the doctor also present. Edward was sitting on the bed, with his back rested on the pillow. “Dad, what happened? Why am I here?” Edward asked, looking confused. It was at that moment it drawn on Sophia, who was standing by the door, eavesdropping, that Edward had no recollection of what had happened in the past. She was glad he had lost his memory and that everything was going as she had planned. “Actually, you had an accident few months ago. You have been in coma since then” Daniel responded to his son’s question. “An accident? I don’t remember that. Do you know where I was heading to before I had the accident?” Edward asked, trying to remember what had happened to him. “Yes, I do. You were on your way to meet Ellie” Daniel responded. “Ellie? Who is Ellie?” Edward queried, raising his eyebrows. “You really do not remember who Ellie is?’ surprised Daniel asked. “No, I don’t. Is she someone import
Ellie was sitting at a corner of the jail room, curled up and staring blankly at the wall of the room, as if there was something special about it. She felt blank and helpless and at the same time, she hoped for a better future. It had been two months since she had been in prison, still hoping that her beloved lover would come for her, but he seemed not to be forthcoming. The thought of Edward having abandoned her and their unborn child kept on railing through her mind, but she waved it off, each time it did. She didn’t want to believe that and kept on assuring herself that, Edward would come for her, if not for any other reason but for the sake of their child. And then, a day came, when everything changed and she lost the hope of a better tomorrow.That day, she had her breakfast as she had normally did, but some hours after having had the breakfast, she began to feel discomfort. She had felt a tightening sensation in her lower abdomen, but she didn’t think much of it, as she had tho
She woke up to the shining, bright light in her room, which was coming from the window in her room. As she fully opened her eyes, becoming aware of her environment, she tried to get up from bed, but she felt too weak to do so. One of her hands was handcuffed to the bed rail, restricting her movement. She looked in the direction of where the light of coming from and she realized, it was morning; which meant she was unconscious all through the night. The memories of what had happened before she lost her consciousness came rushing to her, and it was then, she realized something wasn’t right. She clearly remembered birthing her child before she passed out, but there was neither a crib nor her child beside her. Confusion stroked her mind and all she wanted at that moment, was to know where her child was. She couldn’t move due to her hand that was cuffed to the rail. She looked around, searching if there was someone nearby and luckily for her, she sighted the female warden who was watching
