In the car, Elisa contemplates whether to go home or to Mia's place. She still hadn't told the driver where to drop her yet and she was sure the man was going to ask her soon.
" Miss, where do I drop you?" The driver asked as he stared at her disturbed face through the front mirror as Elisa stared at the two roads ahead, one of them leads to the Davis mansion and the other leads to Mia's simple two bedroom apartment " To the left" she said after recalling the Manager's proposal. She stared down at the script on her lap and instantly forgot all her worries. She couldn't wait to share the good news with her family.She couldn't believe after all this time she was able to grab a lead role. Making it to this far was a dream come true. And she was sure her family would be happy to hear it.After a few minutes, the car halted in front of the Davis mansion which was one of the beautiful buildings in the area.Elisa stepped down from the car and immediately her gaze traveled to the modern gate of the Davis mansion, a little bit of fear slipped into her chest as she started biting on her lips nervously.She had wanted to spend a few days in the resort so that she would be able to erase the memory of what happened but after what happened between her and the stranger she couldn't bring herself to stay any longer.She just hope her family wouldn't hold it against her besides, she only expressed her disappointment to her sister and her cheating boyfriend." Thank you" she said to the cab driver after handing him his money. Maybe she could leave after a few months when she finally rent her own apartment.She sighed and strode inside since she has no idea that the Davis family have been angry with her since the day of Betty's engagement. They believe Elisa did wrong when she confronted their precious daughter while the ceremony was ongoing. Elisa wasn't able to swallow the shock when she realized she and Betty have been sharing the same man.She got angry with Betty because she knew Christian was her boyfriend. She had introduced them a year ago when she had just completed high school.She has always listened to her talk about her Prince charming and her perfect relationship, not once did she think she would betray her this way.She trusted Christ, she didn't for once think he would do this to her, leave her for her sister.....Being the adoptive daughter Elisa had passed through a lot except that she was never abused physically. As she stepped inside the mansion, memories of that night floated her mind and at every step she took she could feel her heart beating faster.Elisa was just an adopted daughter, a poor orphan who had nowhere to go except for the family that adopted her and maybe her best friend Mia whom she wasn't sure was in the country at the moment." Here she comes," her mother Amanda's voice wailed in the air and she froze at the door step for a few seconds." You have the nerves to return back to this house after what you did." She almost ruined the engagement party of her daughter who was the real Davis and still shows up in the mansion when the whole family has agreed to forsake her." Do you think you still have a place in this house after doing what you did?" Amanda has never liked her, her affection for Elisa has always been a pretense. The poor girl Jane mo idea how she hated her guts and even more after what she did at Betty's engagement party.Betty was the real Davis and her only child. Taking sides with her even if she was wrong wasn't a big deal to her and of course she knew Christian was Elisa's boyfriend but she liked him for her daughter especially since he came from a wealthy background." Do you think this family will go down with you and your lies?" In the past, Amanda only showed her love because she felt lonely and thought her only daughter wouldn't make it through the operation. She was devastated when the doctor suggested surgery for her sick daughter and chanced it as fifty fifty.She even wanted them to return Elisa back to the orphanage after Betty was released from the hospital but after reading the adoptive papers carefully,she realized she couldn't send her back without ruining the family's reputation. She was scared Elisa would open her mouth and tell everything to the orphanage keepers once she sent her back. " Ah, sorry mom. I ..." Elisa wanted to apologize just like she always did.She was always the one who apologies even if she wasn't the one at fault. Living with the Davis family for fifteen years, Elisa knew what she was supposed to do to survive. She knew better than to fight them over a lost battle after all Betty wasn't the one who went after Christian but the other way round." What? You want to apologies and everything will be okay?" How about the disgrace she cursed at the party?She bit on her lips and dropped her head. She was also ashamed of what she did because it was nothing like her. She didn't know what came over her that day, she just lost it when she saw Christian holding Betty's hand as his fiance." You have the nerves to show your face here" slap!Peter Davis, who was a lot different from his wife Amanda, slapped Elisa hard across the face." My daughter cried and locked herself up because of you! Now you have the guts to step your feet in this house?"" Who gave you the right to return back to this house after what you did, after ruining the family's image?""You are nothing but a loose woman" Peter said with anger showing in his eyes. Peter was the only person in the family that loved her genuinely, he did his duty as her father even though she wasn't his blood. Peter Davis was an ordinary man who married into a wealthy family and successfully established his own wealth through that.Peter wasn't a difficult man but after seeing his only daughter in that state he swore to send Elisa out of the mansion once she returned. No parents would want to see their children in pain, especially when they have only one." You are not welcome I'm this house, Elisa" he told her and Elisa stared up at his disgusted face. He has believed all the lies Betty and her mother had told her and decided to take this action against her knowing fully well she has nowhere to go." Im very disappointed in you, Elisa. I tried to give you most of it in life but you put to be this"" Father I didn't do anything" she pleaded with tears streaming down her small face, her green eyes staring back at him. Peter has already promised his daughter to send Elisa out of the house. No matter what, he surely couldn't go back to his words even though it hurt him to see her in that state.Even though Elisa wasn't his blood, Peter loved and cared about her like his own. He never once did anything to neglect her even though he listened to his wife and made her drop her scholarship.He only did that because Amanda threatened to leave him if he let her go to school before her daughter.Peter was already putting things in place so he could send her abroad to study. He didn't want her to be a problem between him and his family neither did he want his family to be an issue for Elisa." Dad, I have nowhere to go," she pleaded and knelt on the ground.Peter would have taken back his words if he hadn't promised his daughter. Seeing those tears in her eyes made him rethink his decision but it was too late. " Pack your things and leave" he said for the last time and left the living room.The satisfaction in Amanda's face was obvious, as Betty. She couldn't believe her acting skills paid off. If she knew attempting to kill herself could send Elisa away then she would have done it a long time and gotten rid of her." Mom please talk to dad" she pleaded with tears in her eyes, her voice trembling in fear as she attempted to grab onto Amanda's dress but Amanda, who had gotten what she wanted, stepped away as if she was some sort of virus. After all, it was her wish to send her out of her mansion for good.Whatever love she once felt for her was a result of her daughter's unhealthy state. If she knew her daughter would survive, then she wouldn't have suggested adoption in the first place. Amanda was only trying to protect her marriage back then knowing how her husband wanted children." You don't belong in this house, Elisa.Go back to the orphanage you came from." With that, Amanda followed her husband up the stairs.Elisa didn't know where to go. She didn't have anyone nor did she have anything in her account after acting in more than one movie.After leaving the Davis mansion, Elisa tried calling her best friend, Mia but it wasn't going through. She couldn't get hold of the only person who could help her.She ended up in the park, watching kids play with their kids. The perk was a fantasy for many kids just like Elisa, she dreamed of going there with her parents in the past but none of it came true. Her prayer to get along with her mother never came through and now she was all alone again just like she was in the orphanage.Darkness soon came but Elisa had no plan to leave the perk since she had nowhere to go.Elisa didn't move a muscle when rain started pouring nor could she stop crying. At that moment a black roller race entered the area and halted at the entrance of the perk.Before the black Rolls Royce, a black benz pulled over at the entrance of the park and a man dressed in black suits stepped down in the rain, he adjusted his suit and with an open umbrella he walked towards the next car which was the expensive Rolls Royce and pulled the back door open.The car's flash light went off and darkness took over once again.As the most famous man in garden city stepped down from the car in all black attire, the man immediately adjusted the umbrella to shade him from the heavy rain.His sharp gaze stared around the place as he stood elegantly under the umbrella, his hands moved into the pocket of his black pants. The place was quiet and dark since it was already late and raining.A while ago he was informed about the woman who dared left him in the room after a fucking night was sighted at the park and according to his source she was still there. He wanted to meet her or maybe speak to her directly perhaps because she looked exactly like Emelia Jones, the only
Elisa stepped down after having a change of clothes in Mia's room but paused on the last stairs when she noticed the male version of her best friend sitting on the couch. He seemed calmed and harmless but she wasn't sure to what extent since it was her first time meeting him in person. And that was because Marvin wasn't your typical type of heir, he preferred doing what he wanted than taking care of his family business or sitting in an office in a suit. He preferred traveling around the world and exploring whatever piece of infor hidden. He was like an astrologist, a wild cat, his path as a traveler had also earned him a spot light as he was known as the best photographer in the world. She recalled how Mia used to force her to talk to him on the phone but that was in the past and she doubts he recognized her that much.Even though Marvin was Mia's twin, they have never spoken to each other face to face before and that was because he was never around. Marvin wasn't the type to stay at
While lost in thought, the beeping of her phone drew her attention. ' Enjoy your new company and thank me later, Elisa Davis ' it was obvious Betty wanted to disgrace her which she has obviously succeeded, unfortunately.She stared down at the few dollars she had in her bag and sighed. What was she going to do now? It seemed she would have to make the payment sooner or later. Running her gaze over the desert Betty ordered which was barely touched, Elisa mentally slapped herself, how come she didn't discover Betty's plan earlier?Now how was she going to get that much money to pay for it? She grabbed her phone from her bag contemplating whether to call someone for help even though she wasn't sure on whom to call. If only Mis was around. She thought of who to call and then bit on her lips nervously before dialing the familiar number on her phone.” Hello” the sound of her voice made her drop silent as she thought about it again where to ask. She had water to end the fall immediately sin
Noah was perfect just like the magazines always show. He was good looking and more pleasing in reality. His hard sculptured face, cold aura and mysterious sea blue eyes that seemed to stare into people's souls.Elisa was still processing what just happened, she was trying to recall where he knew him from when she heard his cold powerful voice. " Get in" He ordered, looking at her smooth angelic face coldly and emotionlessly as he let go of her arm. Elisa hesitated but at the end, she decided to get in after recalling how the reporters were bullying her earlier. She didn't want to deal with them right now, her gaze ran up to the entrance of the restaurant before lowering herself into the car." Where do you live?" He asked after a few minutes' drive on the buddy road and Elisa couldn't help but stare at her side at his hard cold face which was buried in his tablet. He seemed to be doing his business so who did that voice belong to? He gaze ran up to the driver who was driving with a hig
BREAKING NEWs; Noah Ashton was spotted on a date with his fiance Elisa Davis at jolly restaurant.' Benson Ashton slammed the newspaper on the table " How dare them publish such nonsense about my grandson?!" He growled standing on his feet with the help of his walking stick. " Mr Ashton, please calm down" David, the butler of the Ashton mansion tried to calm him down even though he knew his words wouldn't make a difference because once the old man was angry, no one could calm him down unless his grandson who comes into the mansion once in a blue moon. " I want you to get rid of this news immediately" he ordered, holding onto his chest and then a violent cough erupted from her throat as his hand squeezed his chest painfully.The butler immediately picked his phone from his pocket and contacted the family doctor since the old man has not been in good health lately. " The doctor will be here soon, please rest for now" David helped him up to his room and assisted him get on his bed " call m
A tear slipped from her eyes as she stepped out of the premises. What did she just do? Her eyes went down to staring at her hand which was still shaking. She just signed a marriage certificate with a man she met for only a night by mistake.How was she going to survive knowing she was married to such an arrogant man who thinks of himself more than anyone else?She stepped into the taxi and the driver drove off. The huge building of Heirs could be seen a mile away as Elisa turned back to look at it with tears stuck in her eyes. She didn't know what this was about but it was obvious something was going on. He didn't trust her when she told her she had nothing to do with what was happening so why would he trust her now and decide to get married to her? She clenched tightly onto her bag as she sat silently in the car waiting to reach her destination. When the car halted in front of Mia's two bedroom appointment, Elisa hesitated before stepping out. What would he think when he finds out s
At exactly 7:00, a black Benz halted in front of the two bedroom apartment Elisa lived in with her best friend's twin brother and the driver stared at his wrist watch to check the time. He was given strict instructions which didn't include waiting because the boss hated to wait. He stepped down from the car after five seconds and adjusted his suit before starting towards the entrance of the building. Just before he could knock on the wooden door, Elisa pulled the door open, already dressed in a simple blue dress that matches down to her knee. Her eyes narrowed when she saw the familiar car packed at the roadside. It was one of Noah convoys " We can leave" she nodded to the man and he gestured for her to take the lead. He pulled the back door for her to sit and after a few minutes, the car came to a stop in front of the Ashton family mansion, just at the gate where a black Rolls Rayce was packed. The car door pulled open and before Elisa would step down she gazed at the driver who was
Like a freaking nightmare, Elisa's heart kept pounding in her chest as she stood in the middle of the most elegant and luxurious room she has ever seen. With her innocent charming face and pretty green eyes, Elisa could finally understand why the Ashton family was rated as the wealthiest family in garden city. With the few minutes she just spent with them raised a few questions in her little mind but she could give one reason why they were feared so much. Their power seemed to outshine that of the president and their attributes made them seem a little ancient. Her green gaze settled on the file on the king size bed that was laid nicely with a white bedspread and two sleeping wears stretched on the bed each with matching slippers.As if she was told, Elisa immediately pointed out the blue one as hers reasons being that the corresponding slippers was smaller and might be her size. Was she really going to spend the night with that selfish arrogant cruel monster? Even though she had lost
