"I still see you as my boss. It will be hard to go naked before your eyes. I still feel apprehensive when you talk to me. Please give me some time to go over this." "How much time do you need?" "I can't really say, but I need time to get used to you. Please, let's get used to each other before we go out. Please, I will love to beg you for something. It has been difficult to say it all this while." "What's that?" He asked. "I want to go and see my mom." "How is her health?" He asked almost immediately. "It is better for now." "I can't stop you from seeing your mom. Whatever that will bring happiness to you is my greatest delight."Elisa moved her hands and embraced him. "You are such a nice man. You came into my life and gave it a purpose. What can I do to please you?" She whispered into his ear. "You know what to do." He kissed her right cheek and left. Elisa watched him as he left the sitting room. As soon as she was alone, she smiled and went to her new roo

"It's more painful when you think that the person you trust and started to love is behind your pain. Just one night you dismantled me, took what I have preserved, and you changed the pace of my life. I thought I had met a savior, but I didn't know I met a demon with sheep 's clothing. You humiliated me and in fear I ran out of the hotel half naked. From the first day I saw you, you acted as if you care, but my instincts kept telling me you wanted to harm me. You drove everyone away from your house, preparing to repeat what you have done before. I hated you the most because I had the chance of begging you countless times on that fateful night, more than my ex boyfriend who sold me out when his life was at stake. The thought of that day is like a ghost fear. What I ought to enjoy became a torture. You killed my desire to make love. I no longer have the joy that aroused before making love, all I feel is panic. You told me, 'let bygones be bygones,' when you knew you were the very one

Elisa's POV The taxi stopped in front of my mom's house. This place was so far away from Alex that I found peace of mind. There was no way he could figure out my present location. Right inside the taxi, I was thinking about how to restart my life. "It doesn't matter how many times I fall, what matters is my ability to stand up."That was the motivational quote I said to myself before coming out of the car. Life wasn't fair. Even not fairer to people who do what is good. I was ready to dust off all the pains I have gone through. Probably, my mom's prophecy was about to manifest now. She told me to establish myself here after college, but I rejected her offer. "I love to go to the bigger city," I told her some years ago. But in the bigger city, I was treated like a rag. Used as if I didn't have a feeling. As I pulled my right leg out of the car, I could feel the home breeze. "Hmmm… no place like home." I thought. I turned my eyes to the most familiar building, my mum's house.

Loveth POV It was early in the morning, I was about to put my feet on the floor as I woke up when my phone rang. It has been a legal battle to free myself from Alex's accusations. The surface of my phone was facing down. I turned the phone and behold, it was my former neighbor at Alex's house. What does she want from me? I deliberately did not pick up her call. The phone rang and stopped. I left the room to go to the bathroom and spent some minutes. Coming back again, the same number kept calling. I went to the phone and reluctantly, I picked up the call. "Hi Ella, good morning." My voice was heavy. "Loveth, have you heard?" She spoke with some kind of enthusiasm. "Heard what?" "The person who took your place had run away. That maid." "Wait…wait a minute," Loveth stood up and started laughing. "Are you serious?" "Dead serious. I heard Alex combing the entire place looking for her. He even came to me, asking if she was hiding in my apartment. I kept wondering what he ha

Lizzy POV When I got home, I kept wondering what had happened between Alex and Elisa. I think there is something wrong. Why would Elisa's boss be ready to give me a whopping sum of 60,000 dollars just to get to Elisa? I will need to find out about it before exposing Elisa to any danger. But that sum of money could change my life. Why does he want me to call him in the evening? Does he want me or does he want to have me in bed? Elisa told me some time ago that her boss has been showing her great affection. I took my phone and started searching for any contact that knows about Elisa. As I searched, I came across Helen's phone number. Helen was also Elisa's friend. So I decided to call her. "Hi Helen, good evening. How was your day?" "Very fine Lizzy." "Please, I have been trying to reach Elisa but her phone number is not connecting. Please, do you have any other means to reach her or do you have any of her family phone numbers?" "Hmm… I will get back to you. I know
