"Elaine!" Elizabeth shouted after she took the phone from Charles. She saw who was the caller before Charles answered the call. "Don't you dare hurt my son or else you will see what you are looking for!" She added. She couldn't imagine what she could do if something happened to Albert. He was her priceless treasure. She had protected her all of his life and she wouldn't allow Elaine just to take away the life that her son deserved. She wouldn't let her kill her son like what Mrs. Jones did to her first three unborn babies. She heard a demonic laugh on the other line.It was as if Elaine was not affected at all with what she had said. She was laughing like crazy over the other line. The sound of her laughter was irritating in the ears. "You bitch! Whatever! You took everything to me. The man that I love and now my son? What do you think of yourself? You took them all away from me! You asshole! You send my mother to jail!" Elaine shouted from the o
Chapter 1 'Ch--- Charles," Elizabeth called the man in a pleading voice. "Pl---please," she continued begging. Again, Charles forced her. She couldn t do anything because her strength was nothing compared to his strength. Though everything that was happening was not new at all. Charles was always expected to make love to her whenever he was under the influence of alcohol and she couldn t believe that she was in that situation. But, she accepted it. Maybe, it was her fate. Love making as what other call it but for her and charles, it was just a three letter word, SEX. Though they were married, they never had a chance to have a decent sex for that matter. Well, they had. But that was when Charles took her virginity. It was the first and the last. She couldn t forget it because it caused her a lot of pain. She felt like she was being torn into two. Elizabeth was hurt beyond words. She wasn t just hurt physically because
Elizabeth was standing in the corner while she was staring at her ex-husband, Charles. She's there to watch the engagement party of her husband. She couldn't describe the emotions that were inside her. She couldn't even understand why she was at that place. It was as if she was torturing herself. A beginning for them was an end for her. She was looking at him while he was getting engaged to his childhood sweetheart, no other than Elaine Imperial. After three years of being married, Elizabeth and Charles ended up getting divorced. She felt bitter about it but there's nothing that she could do. Everything between her and Charles already came to an end. She could never put a question mark on something he had already put a period on. Two weeks ago, Charles came home from work. She was in the garden and busy watering her plants. She was surprised when she heard him calling out her name as soon as he entered the house. For the first time in their married life, her husband cam
Elizabeth didn't waste time. She couldn't stand the atmosphere any longer. While everyone else was happy, she felt like her whole world crashed right in front of her. She felt like she was about to explode because of all the emotions that were inside her heart. She was starting to feel heaviness on her chest while she was staring at the couple who were standing at the front. She went immediately to the parking area where she left her car but before she could even reach her car, a loud bang echoed in the place. She felt a hard thing hit her head from behind. Her eyes started to get blurry and before she could respond, she was already unconscious. Elizabeth slowly opened her eyes as she heard the chirping sound of birds coming from nearby. She slightly covered her eyes with her hands because she was blinded by the ray of sunlight passing through the windows. She looked around the unfamiliar room. It was painted with cream colour and she could inhale a lemon scent inside the r
Elizabeth and Albert were walking together as they headed to the skyscraper building of Jones Holders. She couldn't help but roam her eyes around the building. She couldn't help but wonder who could be the person who designed it. It looked like a palace of princesses and princes from other countries. They were here in this elegant place because Albert had returned to claim what was rightfully his. His share in the company as the eldest son of Albert Jones Sr. The man informed Elizabeth that they would go to the Jones Holders to get the position of the president since Charles was the chairman of the company. Elizabeth just nodded when Albert told her about this. She was expecting that this would be his first step in helping her out. The man said that he would help her to make Charles pay back for abandoning her and her unborn child. Two hearts burning with anger towards Charles met and they couldn't imagine what they could do to make the man fall down on his feet. Albert
Charles couldn't help but look at his ex-wife whom he hadn't seen for how many days. Elizabeth was no longer living in their house and for some reasons that he couldn't understand, he seemed to feel that he was missing her. It felt like there was a missing part which he couldn't tell what. He felt it was weird because why would he feel such emotions when he was the one who asked for a divorce. Every time that he gets back home from work or even when he is leaving for the office, his eyes seem to be searching for her presence. He noticed that Elizabeth seemed to gain weight. He wondered if it was because she was already free from him and she wasn't feeling stress and toxic on the relationship they had? Charles was aware that they didn't have a happy marriage. He didn't treat her well and most of the time, he chose to ignore her but he never yelled at the woman except for the day that he asked her to sign their divorce papers. Elizabeth signed the papers without a word. He kne
As soon as Charles came out of the room, Elizabeth suddenly sat down on the catch that was just next to her. She felt like all her strength was gone. She couldn't quite imagine how she was able to handle herself to act strong in front of Charles. She showed that she was not affected by his presence but deep inside her, she wanted to run away from him but at the same time she felt like her feet were buried in the floor and she couldn't take even just a single step. She could hear her heart pounding so fast just because she was breathing the same air that her husband was breathing and she couldn't also deny that at the same time, she felt excited to see him again after a couple of days that they had been away. And, Elizabeth knew that if not Albert wasn't there, she might have already gone and just left the company as soon as she recovered. She felt when Albert sat next to her and then his hand was on her shoulders. She was startled because of what the man did. Albert seemed t
It was Daniel. His personal assistant got inside his office. He could see on his face that he was hesitating to come near him, maybe because the man saw that he wasn't in the mood. "Come here," he said as he encouraged him to go near his desk. He couldn't help but shake his head because of his employee's reaction. It was as if he was going to bite him the way he reacted. Daniel cleared his throat and looked at him when he was finally in front of his desk. He raised his eyebrows as if saying to him that he could say whatever he wanted to say. "Sir, I just wanted to remind you that we need to go to the conference room to announce your brother's arrival and that he would be the new president of the company," Daniel exclaimed. "And, I believe that all the board members and the head of each department were already there and they are just waiting for us," he added. He let out a deep sigh. He couldn't understand why all of a sudden he wasn't in the
