Till I Met You Chapter 1
ELSIE’S POV“Elsie!!! Don't tell me you are still sleeping by this time of the day?” Emilia, my stepmother, barked as she kept banging on my door.I groaned and tried to lift myself from the bed, my baby bump making it difficult for me to do so. My eyes caught the sight of the alarm timepiece on the bedside drawer close to my princess-sized bed and I cursed myself for oversleeping. Emilia will probably scold me and of course, I'd starve today. “ Elsie open this door at this moment or you will not have anything to eat today!” she yelled and I rolled my eyes. “Just what I thought.” I hurriedly rushed to the door, opening it immediately.“ Good morning Mom,” I greeted as I met Emilia’s dark eyes that were scrutinizing me, fixing her disgusting gaze on my baby bump.“ For the up-tenth time Elsie I am not your mother! Do I look like the mischievous woman who gave birth to you? It is only one who the Heavens want to punish that will give birth to a child like you, so miserable.” Emilia re

She would have done the same if she were alive.“She's perfect,” I murmured. My heart goes with joy as I gazed at my newborn baby. I marveled at her exquisite beauty, my little treasure, so incredibly beautiful.But my fleeting joy was shattered quickly as Emilia entered my hospital room, her face beaming with wicked smiles, bearing bad news as always.“ Your father found out the trash your mother was and has left.” She declared nonchalantly.“ What do you mean he has left? Why do you love to be a bearer of bad news?” I asked, my voice trembling uncontrollably.Emilia surged, her eyes scanning through the hospital room and casting a dreadful look at the nurse then finally landing her eyes on me. A smile of satisfaction waved through her eyes before she continued with her evil news,“ He left, but not before as

ELSIE’S POVI stared at the man who had just entered the room in awe, he was cradling a baby in his arms and I guessed it was Isabella.I recognized him but my mind could not recall where I had seen him. I guessed he was likely to be the owner of the house. The man was in his late forties, he exuded dominance. His nearly combed black hair and deep eyes were so captivating. A well-defined jaw added to his commanding presence. He was neatly dressed in a black suit that gave him an aristocratic air.He approached my bedside, gently placing my daughter in my awaiting arms. A surge of warmth instantly spread across my face, blossoming into a soft smile as I caressed the tiny hands of Isabella and stared directly into her perfect little eyes. My heart was thumped with a mixture of love and overwhelming anticipation, witnessing my fragile yet serene figure nestled in slumber made me happy.“ My name is Timothy Baker.” the man introduced himself. His voice beamed with kindness.In that mome

ELSIE'S POVAfter what felt like an eternity, although my watch Indicated it had only been forty-five minutes, we were finally home.I was the first to step out of the car, I felt suffocated by the air all through the journey. Sitting in that confined space with Ethan made my heart race each second I heard his voice.“ Are you alright Elsie?” Timothy asked, his voice marrying concern.“ I'm fine, you don't have to worry,” I assured him and shot a glare at Isabella’s father. “There was a pervert on the flight who tried to touch me, so I am still flustered by the incident,” I added.Ethan's face drained of color instantly and I could swear that his body stiffened and it suited him. “ Such a fucking bastard.” I referred to him in my mind, he should count himself lucky that I haven't exposed him yet. Of course, Timothy would be so displeased to know that his business partner was nothing but a jerk.“ A lethally good-looking jerk is still a jerk.” I thought to myself, my negative thoughts

ELSIE’S POV “MOMMY!!!” My little five-year-old princess screamed while hopping on my bed, I was so restless last night about the presence of Isabella’s dad and did not go to sleep early. I forced a smile on my face and turned over towards the direction where my baby girl was sitting, indeed, Isabella is the cutest five-year-old you’d come across any day, anytime. “ why are you up so early sweetie?” I asked, pulling her into my warm embrace. “ Did you say early mummy, it’s almost time for school and if you don’t hurry up I will be late” Isabella said with a pout. I took a glance at my bedside clock, it was already a few minutes past seven in the morning, “ Gosh!!” I silently exclaimed, if Isabella should hear me do that, I’m sure I will not have my bath till I drop her off at school. “ sweetie go be with your granddad downstairs okay, I will join the both of you shortly.” “Okay Mommy, but you have to hurry up, I don’t wanna be late for school.” Isabella obeyed and head

ELSIE’S POV“Is he going to be alright Dr. Nox?” I asked immediately I saw the doctor walk out of the examination room.Dr.Nox sighed and replied calmly,“Claustrophobia, he is claustrophobic and hence developed a panic attack due to the stress that usually comes with the feeling of being in a confined space.” He explained further.Somehow I felt relieved. Not like I care about him but everything happened so fast it’s a good thing that he is fine now. “ Can I see him now?” I asked,“Sure, I will just have the nurse move him to the ward. He will be discharged later in the day but now he needs to rest.” The doctor said and left for his office.It did not take a few minutes before the nurse had him moved into the main ward and I went to check up on him. As expected, he was lying down with a sour expression on his face like a baby looking out for his mom.“Hey, how are you feeling?” I asked while making myself comfortable on the seat provided beside the bed.I don’t know why his face li
