THE REJECTION Laura's secret phone
Ella's POV, “Laura, what are you doing in there. Who are you talking to?" I ask Laura as I bulge inside her room. I find her seated on her bed as she was hiding something under her pillow.“What is that you are hiding?" I ask her. I knew for her to get back to her previous manners, I must be a tough mom. “Its nothing mummy. I was just playing with my doll.” She says, but clearly she was lying because she looked really nervous. I decide to just check by myself what she was hiding under the pillow. “Mummy, leave my things alone.” She yells.“Why are you being so stubborn, Laura?" I ask her as I lift the pillow up. I just could not believe what I saw. A smartphone. I had never seen before.“What is this, Laura. Answer me because if you don't. I am going to cane you. I cannot tolerate this from my daughter, who is also a minor.” I find myself saying. This behavior of hers was really getting out of hand and I needed to do something about it.“It's my phone, mummy.” She says.“Where di

Felix POV.My call with Laura gets disconnected suddenly. This has never happened before, and I sense that something is not right. I wait for two minutes before I decide to call again, but this time the phone goes direct to voice mail. I fear that Ella has caught Laura talking to me and if that is the case, then I have lost her to them forever. I am sure that Ella will not let Laura talk to me ever again, since I am a bad influence on her. But she is my daughter, and it's my right to talk to her. I won't give up this easily on her without putting up a fight.I decide to wait until things have cooled down a bit. In my quest to get Ella back into my life, I used my daughter in a very inappropriate way. But that was done already. I will just have to change my tactics. I will pretend that I am defeated and that Ella has won. And without her realizing it. I will be back in my daughters' life again. And this time, it will be for good.Even though she has managed to keep Laura away from me

Ella's POV.I feel good after talking to Felix. At least I have given him a piece of my mind. I now know he feels bad about all the things he has done to me. But this time round, I am not going to forgive him. I place my phone down on the table and I go to check on Laura, I find them still watching their favorite animation. I mean, it was my favorite too, but right now, Laura was so angry at me, and I did not want to upset her more. She was having a good time with her grandmother, that is why I decided to leave them alone. “Still watching, it's getting quite late and tomorrow is school, Laura. I don't want you to start having excuses in the morning.” I say to her.“It's not yet over, mummy. I want to finish watching first before I go to bed.” She says.“Join us Ella, why are you standing there. Just come and sit already.” My mom says and I obey her. I know she will help me get close to my daughter once again. That is what I want mostly in my life.After the incident between Laura an

I mean, I have spent half of my life with him, so it is obvious I will not get over him this soon.My heart was not expecting him to come back into my life anyway. I was contented with what life had decided to give me. I just hoped that he is happy whenever he is. I hope the woman he was having an affair with was giving him the happiness he could not find in me.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * I just stare at the ceiling. My thoughts are blank.

Stephens POV.I still remember the conversation I had with Laura earlier when she called me through Ella's phone. I thought she had forgotten all about me, but I guess I was wrong. I missed her so much, and I just smile at myself while recalling our chat.Laura – Grand pa, I miss you so much.Me – I miss you so much too, baby girl. Where is your mom?Laura – here with me, grandpa.

May alarm rings and since I was already awake, I slowly get up from my bed and I head downstairs to the living room. It was beautifully decorated with Laura's pictures all over. Clearly, mom has done a beautiful job.Laura was still sleeping in her room and I chose not to disturb her. It was still a bit early and I know the party will only begin a little later. So there was no point in waking her now. Everything is just perfect. The only thing that was left was getting ready and heading out to pick Laura's cake. I wanted it fresh, so the chef was going to bake it today. I know it must be ready by now, since I informed her, I don't want any delays.I am about to head back to my room when I hear the doorbell. “Someone is a bit early.” I say to myself as I start heading towards the door.“Hello, madam Susan called us here.

I was also going to introduce my darling wife Sarah to my family. I hope they will accept her. “Almost baby. Just a few minutes and I will be done.” She says. She was still taking a shower. She is always slow, and I know she will take another hour just to get ready.“Darling. Just please hurry. Time is not on our side anymore.” I say to her.“I know baby. I will not take more time. I promise.” She says, and I decide to wait for her.* * * * * * * * * * * * * *“I am ready now, baby. Let's go.” She says after thirty minutes. “Ok, darling.

Ella's POV.Luckily, I managed to come back on time. I dress up Laura and I tell her to wait for me downstairs because I wanted to also get myself ready. Everything was already in its place and a few guests had arrived already. So I think it was time to start the party. There was no use in keeping them waiting anymore.I slowly get out of my room and I lock it. It was better if I locked all the rooms. I mean, we have guests here today and someone might sneak inside of one of the rooms and steal something without us knowing. So there was no need in risking that.I carefully climb downs the stairs, and I search for Laura with my eyes. I notice she was sitting with dad and the two looked like they were catching up. I decide to head over to my dad to greet him.“Dad.” I say to him. He turns his head to face me. Upon seeing me, he stands up and hugs me so tightly.“I missed you so much, my princess. How are you?” He asks with tears in his eyes. I could see he was genuine.“I missed you to

THE REJECTION End of Sarah

THE REJECTION Sarah's arrival at the party
Sarah's POV.After leaving Clara's home. I decide to just stay on the streets. I looked miserable, by the way. So if I go to the club, no man will look at me. I did not look attractive at all. 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. They are going to cook a lot of food, and we will be given some leftovers after the party.” One of them

I know in a short while, people will start coming here to celebrate our happiness with us.“Mom, can I come in?” I knock on her door.“Yes, dear, please come in. I need your help with this dress. I cannot wear it on my own.” My mom says. Clearly she was happy to see me in her room. Her leg was still bandaged.“How are you feeling today, mom. I mean, it's your big day. Finally, you will announce your reunion with dad. It's just a special day." I ask her.“I feel so much alive, baby. Words cannot express how happy I feel. At long last, your dad came back to me. I had
THE REJECTION Entering Clara's house
Sarah's POV.“Where do you want me to drop you?” The man asks. I had already started dozing off in his beautiful car. I was so tired from walking, and I was also hungry. I did not even have money, so I can't go to the hotel. I know they will refuse to accommodate me. “Just drop me here, please.” I say to him and he stops the car.“Are you sure you can continue from here? You look weak and tired.” The man says.“Yes. I can continue. Thank you so much. I appreciate your generosity.” I say as I open the car door and come out of it. The man speeds up his car and drives off. I am left stranded, not knowing where to go. With the way I was feeling, I needed somewhere to rest. I felt like I might pass out anytime. “Clara. I know she will not refuse me. I will go to her house and beg her to let me stay at her house just for a few days." I say to myself. Clara was the only one whom I knew in this town. She was my best friend before I ruined it all. But I know she still loves me a lot. So I w

Maybe I will be lucky enough to find something to fill my stomach with. I manage to find an old fridge. I decide to open it and check it out. I find only two cans of soda. It's like the person who was living here had decided to vacate the place. Perhaps she got tired of staying in a place like this. It was so boring. There was no electricity and also no water. I don't know where she found water to use.“I am going to starve for sure if I continue staying here” I say as I take the two cans of soda. It was time to leave from here. I will do it now. I know the police are looking for me. And if I continue to stay here. They will find me easily. I find some
