Walking into the club, all eyes were on Ellie. She dressed so elegantly that no man could resist her. She looked around in search of Clinton and when she finally set her eyes on him where he was seated, she smiled. ‘Hello, beauty. You look so stunning’, Clinton said, ravaging Ellie’s body with his eyes. ‘Thanks for the compliment’, Ellie said, taking her seat. ‘I heard you no longer work at Cheetahs. Seems like you have levelled up. That is quite evident on your body’, Clinton said, rolling his tongue. ‘Stop being naughty and let’s get straight to business’, Ellie said, crossing her legs. ‘So, you said you needed my help. What’s it all about?’, Clinton asked, sipping his drink. ‘I want to meet with your father. Can you secure an appointment for me?’, Ellie asked, unsure of Clinton’s response. ‘What? You want to meet with my father? Do you by chance have a crush on him? Why don’t you check me out? I am everybody’s speck’, Clinton said, winking. ‘Can’t you be serious for

The following morning, Ellie woke up much earlier than she usually did. As she got up from bed, she thought about how she had lived her life so far. She remembered how she had lived in Kevin’s prison for years and how she finally got to escape from his hold. ‘Why did he come back now of all time? How did he find me?’, Ellie kept on thinking, trying to figure out what Kevin was trying to do. ‘But why did he leave that day? Why didn’t he take me along with him? What is he really driving at?’, Ellie kept on thinking, while pacing up and down the room. She had lived with Kevin for more than five years and she knew almost everything about him. She knew he was going to come back for her as he wasn’t someone who would back down easily. ‘I know he will be back, but I need to be ready for him. I can’t allow him to disrupt my plans and peace right now. I am just a few steps away from getting my revenge on the Porous family. I can’t let his sudden appearance disrupt my plans and I can’t let

On getting to the last floor, Ellie saw Kevin standing at the reception. She tried taking a step further towards him, but her legs were too heavy for her to carry. She stood still, trying to brace herself up to be strong and not to let Kevin manipulate her. While still on that spot, Kevin turned around, and his eyes met with that of hers. Upon setting his eyes on her, Kevin smiled, a devilish one at that. The smile on Kevin's face sent a chill down Ellie's spine, triggering a flood of painful memories and overwhelming fear. As Kevin took each step moving close to her, Ellie was engulfed in fear and she started to recall the painful memories she had been trying to run away from. 'Hello, Wifey. We meet once again', Kevin said, smiling. The voice of Kevin made Ellie shivered, the voice of the man that made living hell for her and that had inflicted both physical and emotional harm on her. Despite years of being away from him, the impact of his voice was immediate and profound. Her body

Walking back to Edward’s office, the only thing Ellie thought of was how to stop Kevin. She was at the crossroads as she didn’t know what to do. She didn’t want Edward to get hurt and at the same time, she didn’t want to go back to Kevin. Opening Edward’s office door quietly, she peeped, looking at Edward who was reviewing some files.She couldn’t think of being separated from Edward and at the same time, she didn’t want her child to grow up without his father just like she did. She kept on ruminating on a way out of the mess she had gotten herself into. She at first, thought of opening up to Edward about her dark past but she changed her mind after thinking of how hurt he would be.'He has been hurt enough; I don't want to be the source of his pain. Growing up without his mother, witnessing his father betraying his mother and his wife cheating on him with his best friend, is such a painful memory. He finds solace in me as I do in him too. I want to be his source of happiness and comfo

On her way back to the office, Ellie's phone rang and it was Clinton on the line.'Wow, I salute you. You are such a goal getter', Clinton said, before Ellie could say anything.'I was just about calling you. Collins agreed to the collaboration. I am so happy right now', Ellie said with excitement, as she couldn't hide her joy.'I just got informed by dad and which is the reason I am calling you. I heard the collaboration would be finalized on my birthday. What a great day that would be. But I sincerely admire your courage and determination. You are one special being, I must say', Clinton said.'It's all thanks to you. If not for you, I wouldn't have had the idea of getting close to Natalia. I owe you one', Ellie said, smiling.'My phone has been buzzing since. Sophia is aiming for my life right now. How did she get to know about the collaboration?', Clinton asked.'I was about asking you that. She came over to our meeting place and she was there when Collins made his intention known.
