"Aella, my dear, what is the matter?" Elena asked as she held Aella's hand, guiding her to the couch.

"Shh, now, dear, stop crying," Elena said as she pulled Aella in for a hug. Elena had done everything in her power to reach out to Damien, but he refused to meet with her or take her calls.

It took a lot of time for Aella to calm down, but eventually she did. Elena decided not to push the matter, and she just comforted Aella until her sobs died down.

"You can stay here until you feel better. I understand you don't want to go back to Damien's house, and it can be really overwhelming," Elena offered.

"How do you know that...?" Aella asked, because she had not really told Elena what had happened, so she was surprised she knew already.

"Aella, my child, I understand how you feel, and trust me, I really do. Just relax and stay here for the weekend or for as long as you like," Elena replied.

"Thank you so much, Mother; I do not know what I would have done without you," Aella said.

    After Damien dropped Elena off at the hospital, he returned to his mother's house, where he met Aella watching a show."Thank you for driving her to the hospital," Aella uttered softly."You speak like she is not my mother; what are you doing here? Do you know how much I searched everywhere just because of you?" Damien asked as he walked towards the bar. "I know she is your mother, but she is my mother-in-law as well; I don't think I need your permission to see her," Aella replied."You should have told me you were coming here and saved me the stress of being worried," Damien countered."You? Worried? For what reason? You can drop the fake concern, Damien; I know you do not care about me in any way. Do just drop it," Aella responded as she sat up straight."You are right, I do not care about you, but you are still my responsibility; you can't just leave the house whenever you like," Damien threw back.Aella was getting fed up with the whole conversation; whenever she was in a room wi

    It was late at night, and as usual, Aella was still up. She had come out to the kitchen to get some midnight snacks when she remembered her online therapy classes, and so she started the class. Halfway through the session, she was seriously pressed, so she paused the class as she rushed into her room, heading to the bathroom.While Aella was trying to relieve herself, Damien woke up. He was thirsty, and when he checked the table, he noticed the jug was empty.He groaned as he got out of bed, pulling the covers away from him. On getting to the living room, Damien was surprised to see a laptop as well as a bowl of popcorn beside it."This is Aella's laptop; what is it doing with her at this hour?" Damien asked himself as he walked towards the dining table where the laptop was."Maybe she is still working," he thought to himself."But why will she be working at this hour?"On getting to the table, Damien turned the laptop as he read the screen display, "Dear Aella, your therapy session h

    After the heated argument between Damien and Aella, both stomped off to their various rooms, seething in anger and hurt over the words they had said to each other.For the rest of the night, neither of them could sleep as they kept on tossing and turning on their different beds.Damien had different thoughts after his conversation with Aella. He truly regretted everything he had said to her and wished he could take some words back, but the deed was done already. What started as a simple question led to another unending fight.He was still worried about the therapy thing, but he made a mental note to investigate it further. Luckily, he was about to grasp the name of the website and some other details that might be important to me.Aella, on the other hand, felt lighter; most of the things she wanted to say to Damien over the weeks she has been swallowing down, but tonight she finally was able to do so.She has to admit to herself that the therapy stuff was really helping her; normally

    Before Aella arrived at the office, Damien had already gone to see Marie. He apologized for his stupid behavior the last time. He brought flowers and chocolates to appease her and Marie fell again for his charms. Damien found a way to place the whole blame of what happened that day on Aella and Marie foolishly believed him.He also told her to come to the office during the break, so they could spend some time together.That was what gave Marie the confidence to go about and, started proclaiming her new relationship with Damien, striving for the assurance he had already given to her."He can use me all he wants, Aella, I do not give a damn. At least he wants to use me. You are no longer wanted, and you still do not know your place " Marie threw back. Her words cut Aella deep, and she tried her best not to show it in her face. "This is a simple warning Marie, stay away from my husband, the fact that our relationship is having issues at the moment doesn't mean you should start staking a

    Aella’s face remained calm as she took in a deep breath, watching both her husband, who clearly had been acting like a senseless fool, and Marie, whose tears wouldn't be considered as crocodiles; there is nothing as fake as her tears on this earth.“What were you thinking, Aella? You have just proven yourself to be.”“Like Marie the certified whore?” Aella completed for him.There was no way Aella was letting anything that Damien or his accomplice Marie do slide.“You know my problem with you is you never listen; you are just like Maggie!” Damien lashed.Aella just smiled at his outburst of anger.She slowly walked up to him, the sound of her heels clicking and sounding like threats.“And I will show you I'm the true daughter of my mother, Damien Sullivan!” Aella smiled, dusting off an invisible dust on Damien's suit.I mean, what else would be running across Damien's mind?“What audacity she had grown into the past few days!” Damien thought to himself.She took another glance at Marie

    Damien hurried out of the office once he was done piling a few pieces of paperwork, which he knew well to check again because he knew he did a lot of stupid shit in there.As he stepped out of his office, he noticed a few glances and whispers; the glances they gave him were so intense that he had to call Marie.“Sir, Ae… Sorry, your wife has called for a meeting in the cafeteria!” Marie revealed as she made her way to the cafeteria.Damien looked around as all of them hurried to the cafeteria.He stood at the entrance of the cafeteria to see what was going on.His wife was on the table giving a speech, and every sentence she spelled out held a bullet in it.“Why would she compare them to a dog?” He thought to himself. Wondering where this new confidence of hers resurrected from.“Or was it because I compared her to Maggie?” He thought again.She got off the table and started to head for his way, which was out of the cafeteria.She flashed him a smile on reaching the door to the cafete

    Aella swayed gracefully in the pool as she relaxed her muscles. She had been tense ever since she saw Damien inside the house.His grip on her spelled something else, and the way he looked at her like she was some relic from Egypt. Deep, intoxicating, and concerning.“I can deal with this!” She assured herself while she practiced her floating lessons in the pool.Taking a deep breath, she ended her swimming session and started heading for the house.The snow was starting to take speed, and it started falling almost immediately. Aella decided to leave the pool. “I think I need to design something for some winter outfits for myself because this winter is going to be pretty crazy!” Her voice went a little higher as she mentioned ‘pretty’.She locked the door behind and started to ascend the stairs, just to get startled by the sound of a bottle slamming against the counter. “Damien!” She thought internally and rolled her eyes.He was starting to irk her.“Come here!” Damien almost whisp

    Damien not only woke up to a warmness next to him, but he woke up to the familiar scent of her perfume.Aella's perfume.He twisted his frame to the other side of the bed as if to try and recall what happened."Urrh, I feel like I'm going to pass out!” He murmured.He held his head in confusion.Aella happened to wake up from her sleep and immediately jumped out of bed. She was still very mad at Damien; their little fling didn't mean it was over.“A little fling?” She blushed red at her thought.She slowly and carefully pulled the door to the room open and walked out.She felt her cheeks burn at the memory of their “little fling.”.She recalled how crazy it was.“Aella?” Damien called out, noticing the door to his room open up.He sat in bed for a few more minutes before he eventually decided to get up.He rushed into the bathroom and poured water on his face.He still couldn't think straight and decided to hop into the shower.“Arghhh!” He groaned in pain; he was very hungover, and h

    Aella was swept off her feet more than she could have imagined, but not by someone she had thought. She decided she was not going to think about Damien or anything that has to do with him, or literally anything that is tied to his being.She didn't want to think about it. as much as she knew this was the happiest she had ever been since they got married.The least she could do for herself now was to stop ruminating about the past, not when she was starting to come back to being herself. This was the gift to herself, and this was more like the best gift ever. She will stop thinking about him and focus more on understanding herself; she was planning to get a divorce sooner than later. She wanted to be totally free so she could start living again.She's sat in the car; it's a new hair and a her new self. As they rode across the city, she looked back at Blythe, who seemed to be very happy and seemed to be thinking of something that made him smile every second. She looked away from his fac

    Just the right amount of sauce to make him look like God's sent. She stared at Blythe, who just unconsciously did the cutest things. There were times he talked to himself, there were times he just glared out the window, or there were times where he just picked up the salon magazine and read it, and his expressions whenever he came across something controversial made him the perfect partner to give your work the gist.Blythe had taken the initiative to get Aella a snack after every hour at the salon he got her milkshakes and takeouts.“Here's some for you!” Blythe voiced handing over the takeout box to her.By this time she had just started to make her hair; she had first gotten into washing it and then styling it.“Thank you!” She smiled, and he walked back to his seat.“That's an intentional mannn!" The hairstylist teased her as Blythe fully walked away.Aella didn't know what to think, nor did she know what to say to the hairstylist.“He's just my friend!” Aella responded with a smi

    He paced back and forth as he struggled to keep to himself for the past three weeks—nothing from her—nothing to keep his feelings in check, not even her green light.It was every risky to go visit her in her workplace, as he appeared to be a potential threat to Damien, especially when Damien was the reason for this whole mess in the first place.He picked up his phone for the billionth time trying to place a call to her and explained things well enough to her. But he couldn't; he couldn't bring himself to explain the truth of the whole matter to her; that would not only end him; it would also end their whole family name and career. The way they had left things off, they knew Marie would probably see him as a bad person or worse, a monster that didn't deserve to live.Seth had always wished he wasn't born into the family he was born into, and quite true, he didn't like it there, but ever since he met Marie, he had wished more for that prayer to come to pass than ever before.He felt c

    "Well, I must say you look absolutely beautiful." Blythe complimented Aella as he opened the car door for her.Aella had never had alone time with Blythe before; spending the whole day with him felt so illegal, but she knew she had to leave her room at least once so she wouldn't rot away in misery.She had thought about it all so much that she didn't want to think about it anymore; she just wanted to start living life again.The life she had thought she could live with Damien, but it turns out that she couldn't.It's funny how the same life she craved for was the same life God had helped her package with her mom; she could live freely and not depend on anyone.For the first time, she smiled, and that smile was genuine.“And I must say you don't look bad yourself!”. Aella responded with a soft voice.Seeing her smile is his delight, and he wanted more of it to happen. He kicked the car to a start, and they started their little journey.Aella wasn't used to engaging in conversations wit

    Yes, maybe there were people out there who hurt you real bad, but you need to understand that they shouldn't make you stop loving; you just choose to love yourself enough to love them and not overlove them, so you know when to leave or when to live by grace, just like you would give yourself a voice when necessary.Aella had left Vollini and Becca in the living room to discuss while she just went to her roomma. DN just wallowed.She cuddled up in her bed and just stared out the window. She watched as the snow fell lightly; she could think of nothing else than just...Her baby…Damien was no longer on her mind; she couldn't really care less; he had done what he had to do, and he had done his worst already.If he cheated, it really wasn't any of her business; the only thing she blamed herself for was staying that long trying to take her power back.She sighed again, giving the fact that she had so many things planned out for herself and her baby.She looked down at her phone and realize

    Chapter 139“Just when you thought you had it all, there another shows up to be the worst."Collins paced back and forth in the living room of Becca's house as he wanted to tell Becca about how unruly Damien had been to his sister. Aella wasn't in the midst of all these; they had allowed her to be alone for a while in her room, which they made sure to check on her on a few occasions.“Does he ever think at all, like why is he being the animal that he delivered me from, why is he being like that forsaken dude called Seth?" Collins raged again.Truthfully, he hadn't known his sister's case until they got home from the hospital, and immediately he heard it took the strength in Becca to keep him grounded and not go to confront Damien.Collins had just arrived at the right time.Becca was instantly notified of how inseparable Collins and Aella are; she saw how much love they both have for each other, and she is more than willing to love them both.But she wondered who this sort of guy Coll

    Not all that glittered seems to be gold... But for Damien, his vomit seems to glitter like gold and looks like the most beautiful diamonds from the outside.As he dropped Aella in the hospital, he turned back and went back to work. He didn't bother to ask what happened to her or what might happen to her; he asked then if she was going to be fine, and they said definitely the rest if it was none of his business, but unfortunately enough, they told him as much as he didn't want to hear about everything the doctor called him as he got to the office.The doctor's call came through as he was about to enter his office. On getting into the office, he noticed that Amelia was no longer in the office, including her bag and all. He answered the call and settled down.Luckily, the doctor happened to be his friend!!!“Hey Corniel!” He voiced over the phone, rearranging his fiel and just getting ready to head home.“You seemed to be in a hurry; was there something that came up?” Corniel asked as t
