It has been three days since I had that argument with Ellie. Since then, she has been cooked up in her room. She only comes out for meals when she feels like it. The bitch is too arrogant for an intruder guest that she is. She doesn't talk to anyone at all, unless when she feels like insulting someone and parading her arrogance. Honestly, I am at the hang of it with her arrogance.Jerol is conducting his own investigations, but these fools are no ordinary fools. They are a couple of smart-asses! They have covered their trails so well that nothing is coming out of the investigations. Nothing at all, and I am getting so pissed because I want the truth discovered as soon as possible so that this can be over already.With the Grego idiot playing cool and dedicated by trying to learn about the family business, it is so difficult to find something to pin on him. But, shouldn't that be another sign? Don't ask me a sign of what, but ask yourself, why now? Why is he interested to work just now

I was about to bang my butt back on the bed and reminisce about Jerol's inconceivable task, perhaps ponder a little about giving it a try for his sake because I understand his predicament, or follow him, but a bell of sense chimed wildly in my head. A storm just stormed out in my presence. A tragedy is about to befall this family if I sit and fold my arms even for a second. There is no time.I grab my phone and run out of the room, running down the stairs but without forgetting that I am carrying a life in my belly. I cross the sitting room without minding the stranded servants. They must have been flabbergasted by Jerol's eerily demeanor, and now I am here topping up their amazement as I rush out like a person running for her dear life without sparing them a glance.I spot Mark talking to some God knows who on the phone. I howl his name, scaring the hell out of him and everyone outside. None is concentrating on their duties. They are all in awe of this live Netflix movie. "At your s

"You keep watch, Mark." I say as I leap out of the car as it stops at the parking.With more dismay and everything that fear depicts mounting in me every step that I take, I start running towards to door, but my urgency is cut off as Mrs McCall makes her way out of the house together with Terris and some female servants aiding an agonizing Ellie. She is groaning in immense pain.I detested the way she hugged her belly until today, but now I feel like hugging it for her to ease the pain she is nursing. So, it is her voice that I heard through the call? Hang on! She still has two months to go before her due date. What the heck happened?"Take her to the car." Mrs McCall orders."Mother?" I call because no one seems to notice me. I understand them though. I am as scared as them with Ellie's condition. "What happened?" I implore as I rush towards Mrs McCall."Go and stop that beast inside before something worse happens, Tessa. I will accompany Ellie to the hospital." That is all she says

"You know, Tessa!" Mrs McCall snaps me from my engrossed thoughts about Jerol losing his temper because of Ellie.Don't censure my mood swings and upheavals on that whole new revelation. You understand the law of love, right? Jealousy and possessiveness go hand in hand with love. You understand that clingy sense of yearning and even demanding to be the only one your loved one cares about? Yes, that!Plus, I know she is pregnant and all, with a child whose real father is yet to be identified. I know he has shown no interest whatsoever in her since her return. He has not given me any reason to be insecure. But hey! They have a history together - deep history however twisted and doubtful it seems. She might have not loved him, but he did love her with all his heart. I am a witness to what damage she brought upon him when she spit him out. I became a victim of the bitterness he felt for losing her. So, can you blame me for feeling this way after learning that he went wild after she got hu

"Yes. The woman who was deemed to be my mother but she turned out to be a disgusting nightmare in my life. Someone I wish I never met." I say to Mrs McCall whose jaw dropped to the floor minutes ago."What...what do you mean?" She asks, unbelieving of my words. "How can someone's parent be what you are describing?" She adds.Unbelievable, right? But she hasn't even heard half of the quarter of my story yet. Given her astonishment at this little bit of my story, my entire story will leave her thunderstruck for a couple of days."It is a long story mother. Believe me, we need an entire day for everything to be explained. Some other time, but right now, I want to know what these two promised my mother." I say, turning to Ellie."Are you sure that woman is your mother?"Hang on! What does he care? Who is even asking questions here? And, don't tell me that she now feels pity for me. Tsk!"I don't know. Actually, after knowing you and what kind of an evil person you are, I am tempted to thi
