Everyone was looking at Ellie when they got back. The way they look at her, there was a judgement and confusion on their eyes where most of them are talking about her. She was a little bit confused on what is happening but her heart were racing in nervous, thinking this was related on what Dominick told him. Her head slowly turned in the stage in where the screen is showing the amount of money that being withdraw using her bank account. It was included also the funds of their company wherein it was all gone which means the business are already bankrupt and it was all transferred on hers. While they were gone in the restroom, the people was being disturbed as the screen flashes evidences in short video clip that confused more of her adoptive parents. "What is the meaning of this, Ellie?" Her adoptive father asked in his forehead knotted, confused on what was going on. "What did you do, Ellie?" Her adoptive mother asked in shamed, knowing everyone was already talking not just to her b
The police took Arthur when they arrived where his adoptive parents are really certain to put him on jail. They already informed their lawyer to file a case against him and even decided to take all his rights he has on their family. Even his position as Chief Executive Officer in their company are already gone and they didn't even know how they will going to get back the funds since he wasn't cooperating about it. After the scandalous they had tonight because of him, they will never going to accept him as their own again that's why the only hope they have is Ellie. They were now heading back in the house and Ellie goes with her adoptive parents because she don't want to see Dominick anymore. Things are bit confusing to her between Arthur and her fiancee on what is really going on. She knew that Dominick is the one who is interested in getting all the funds in their company but Arthur suddenly showed up, claiming that it was him to everyone. It's already giving her headache and even i
The press even followed them where they are heading that's why they had difficulties in going inside the bank. They are still waiting outside and they are unstoppable not until they start giving statement but this is not the right time for the Eurwens. They are stick on their plan to lie low until everything is calm. People are more curious about their story without considering that the Eurwens are already frustrated with their problems."Good day, Mr. and Mrs. Eurwens, it's been a long day since the last time you got here," greeted of the assistant bank manager when she met them as they got in. "Where is the bank manager? We need to see him right now," replied of Luisito, looking sharply on the woman in front of them. "Do you have an appointment today, Mr. Eurwen-" "Who are you to ask us with an appointment? We can go here anytime with or without an appointment. And for your information, we have 40% shares in this bank so know who you asking that kind of question!" He cut her off
"ANDY, WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING THERE?" Ellie asked when she found her playing alone in the floor with her toys, "Can I join you?" Instead of answering the question, Andy stop what she is doing and pouted her lips. "Momma, why did the police took my daddy?" She asked full innocence on what is going on with them. "Is he a bad person now?" She was shock to her question and immediately shook her head. "No, Andy. Your dad never been bad. Don't think it that way. Come here." She locked the child into her arms, embracing her to feel at ease. "Then why did they took them if he is not bad? Police only took bad guys, Momma, why they took my daddy?" As the child raised her head, she can clearly seen that there's a sadness in her eyes and she feel pity. She embraced her tightly, didn't ow is she going to explain everything that she will understand at her age. It was hurting her also to see the child like this because the already made a connection to each other even in a short period that they we
After the Eurwens take their breakfast, they left the house, heading towards the company to face the board members and the employees. It's just the three of them who left where Andy remained in the house in the care of the maid. The press are still into them when they left in the house until they arrived and they are really obsessed to hear their statement. It was a big shot on their job if they get something from them and published it to different media that they working on. As they got in the conference room, all the board members are already on their seats waiting for them to arrived. The atmosphere inside seems someone died and they are lamenting for their seriousness and silence. Luisito was already on the end of the conference table, standing with his straight posture just not to make them see that he was affected so much with the situation. Ellie and his wife are sitting beside him that will support him if something went wrong in their conversation. "We're not going to make t
"ARE YOU REALLY GOING NOW?" Ellie stopped when they got in the living room. "You just got here and now you're leaving." Rebecca smiled on her. "I'm sorry, Ellie, but I can't stand seeing them knowing they are the one who put him in prison. And your dad, he was really eager to file a case against him and I will not stop him to do it because I'm going to help Arthur anyway." She replied. "I know how angry your dad on what he did but I'll be always by his side whether he was wrong or right. I will always stand for him." Hearing those words made her heart ache wherein she couldn't stand with him unlike Rebecca who's willing to do everything. She wasn't tough to disobeyed and it's funny that she envy Arthur on what he did. He was now on his own except her that still tied on the role as their adopted daughter. "It's good to hear it." Ellie replied, smiling a little at her. "Let me accompany you 'till the gate." "Sure. The taxi might be already bored waiting for me," she answered and they
In the next morning, Ellie woke up with a heavy headache seems the whole word was inside her head. It was already eight in the morning when the alarm from the phone wake her up. After the conversation she had with Edison last night, it turned her awake all night in overthinking about it and even finished a three bottle of wine all by herself when she was already alone. She just fell asleep when she couldn't take anymore and only had six hours of sleep. (Phone ringing) Ellie took her phone at the top of bedside table and it was Rebecca who was calling her. She heaved a sigh first before taking the call. "Good morning." "Good morning Ellie." Rebecca greeted back. "Are you already awake? I hope I didn't wake you up." "It's okay and I'm already awake when you called." She started getting off and fixed her bed quickly using her other hand. "What time are we going to see him?" "We're going to see him at ten and just pick me up here in the house." "Okay, I'll pick you up there at nine."
Ellie was now in the keychain store when it caught her attention while waiting for her turn to visit Arthur. It was only few steps away where her car is parked where she decided to buy something since Rebecca cooked food for him. She don't know what she's going to buy because there's lot of staff inside and can't able to decide which one she will take. It took her almost three minutes to go around the store, finding the right keychain she will buy until something caught her attention. There was young boy and a girl in the keychain, holding their hands together wherein it was them who came in her mind. It just a simple keychain but she sees something special in it that makes her smile. "Are you going to buy it, Miss?" asked of the in charge vendor of the store in the counter who had been watching her since she's the only customer inside, "We are selling every keychain here in buy 1 take 2." he added to motivate her to buy. "Ahm, yeah I'm going to buy this." She took the keychain in t
