THE REJECTION Ella's worry
Susan POV.“You are home late today, what happened.” I asked Ella when she was home with Laura. They had taken time to get home, and I was beginning to get worried. I was about to call them when I saw Ella's car entering the compound.“You won't believe what happened, mum.” Ella says.“What happened, tell me. But first. Laura, can you go upstairs and change your school uniform? Grandma has prepared something delicious for you.” I say.“Yes grandma.” Laura says and rushes to her room. I am left with Ella and I take her to the couch, so we could talk. She is my daughter and I wanted the best for her. “So tell me, Ella.” I say to her.“Its Felix mom. Today, he took Laura from school without my permission. And Laura, she is acting as if she cannot live without him. It's like he is turning my daughter against me.

Ella's POV.Thanks to Luca, Laura was calm now. She had also fallen asleep after finishing her homework. I was now left with my darling in the living room. Mom was also in her room. The only one who was missing was my dad. Ever since Laura got better, he resumed his old habit of coming home late. Occasionally, he did not come at all.“I missed you, darling. Nowadays, we don't spend time like before, and I am beginning to hate it.” Luca says while he held me on the couch. It has been a week now since we spent time together. “I missed you too, babe. So much.” I say, and he kisses me on my lips. “I thought that you didn't love me anymore.” He says jokingly. “No, babe. The day that I will stop loving you, I will be dead for sure because you are my life. And I know that my life is incomplete without you.” I say to him.“Is that true, babe?” He asks. I know sometimes he feels insecure about Felix being around me. But my heart only was his, and there is no way for that to ever change. He

Stephen POVWith these few months, our divorce was finalized already, and I was now a free man. I remember Ella being so furious with me for the step I had made against her mother. But I explained to her why I had taken such a step and the reason was I was no longer happy with Susan, and it was better for us to separate. I know she is a smart daughter and with time she will forgive me. Anyway, it was Susan who had decided to sign the divorce papers. I remember her last words to me before signing. "I am giving you the freedom you have always wanted. Just know that I will never forgive you for this, Stephen. Go be with your woman. I will never interfere in your relationship.” I was happy she had accepted that I have moved on from her. There is no way I will go back to her.

My body curves were all gone, and all that was due to prison food. Since I hated the food there, my beautiful body was gone. I looked really emaciated. The streets were so cold, especially during the nights. In these two days I have slept here, I slept hungry. There was no food and people refused to give me any money. I hated my life so much. I just wish I had not escaped prison. I thought life would be easy after escaping, but it was more tough than in prison.Today, when I wake up, I see a commotion with the people in the streets. It's like they were going somewhere important. I am curious to know where they are going, and I decide to ask them.“There is a party today and some rich family.
