"Thank you for your patience. The next chapter will be tomorrow."
Chapter 55 Ella had just finished packing her small handbag when her phone rang. She immediately picked up the call after hearing the special ringtone. She also realized that she needed to change it since she was not sure how Daniel would feel when he heard it. She had set that special ringtone for him in a fit of anger, and hearing it now made her want to puke. “Hey, what’s up? Have you already picked up the kids from school?” “Yes. Are you done with work?” “Yes, I was just about to leave. What do you guys want to eat for dinner? I will pass by the supermarket and get some ingredients.” “Just come home, all right. We have a surprise for you.” “Oh, a surprise? What is it?” “It won’t be a surprise if I tell you.” Ella left the office with a smile hanging on her face. She could not wait to be home and see the surprise that had been prepared for her. After staying alone with the kids for too long, this was the first time someone was waiting for her at home with a surprise. Ell
Chapter 56 At the Muller mansion, it has been two days since Cathy’s confrontation with Daniel. The moment she arrived home, she locked herself in her room and she hadn’t seen the light of day for two days. She chased away all her maids, and she was not even willing to see her parents. When Mr. Muller returned home in the evening, he found his wife brooding on the sofa, with a worried expression on her face. “Lily, what is wrong? Cathy hasn’t left her room again?” Mister Muller asked as he approached his wife. “Yes, darling. She has not eaten for two whole days and I am so worried about her. Hearing her muffled cries really breaks my heart.” “What are we supposed to do? I did not think that it would affect her that much.” “I also never expected that Daniel would be that ruthless. Why has he been giving our daughter false hopes all these years? Now look at how heartbroken she is.” “Have you found out anything?” Lily asked as she looked at her husband. She knew that Daniel would
Hey guys, I hope you are doing great. I have been thinking about it and I thought that I should be honest with my lovely readers. I know that one chapter a day is not enough and I feel so sorry about that. But the problem is, I just found out that I am pregnant the end of last month. It is my first pregnancy and my body has lots of complication, so it is very risky. That is why I have been able to get only one chapter done, and very late at that. I don't want to use that as an excuse for my inconsistence in publishing more chapters. All I am asking is your understanding as I try to understand this new chapter of my life. But I will be posting daily even if it is just one chapter. I hope that y'all understand. Lots of love, Dinnah
Chapter 57 Cathy showered at lightning speed. She was eager to know what her father had found out that she did not even dry her body before coming out of the bathroom. She did not care how wet her body was as she hastily put on her pajamas. “Hey, take your time. Just look at how wet your hair is. You might catch a cold if you don’t dry it. Quickly sit down, and let me help you dry it.” her mother said as she approached her. She took a towel from the closet before she started drying Cathy’s hair. “Mom, quick, tell me. What did Daddy find out?” “Err...?” Cathy could not take her mother’s hesitation anymore. She took the towel from her hands and threw it on the ground. She stood up and faced her mother, “You promised that as long as it is something that I want, I will always get it. You said that as long as I work my ass off, Daniel would see my efforts. It has been five years already, but what have I gained in the end?” “Hey, darling, calm down, okay? I will tell you everything.”
Chapter 58 One month later, after Cathy figured out that Ella was back in the country, and Daniel was pursuing her once again; In the Muller mansion, Cathy was trimming her nails as she happily hummed an unknown tune. When Lily entered the house, she was stunned to find her daughter in the living room. Ever since that incident, Cathy would either be out or she will be locked up in her room for the whole day. But today, she was actually trimming her nails and she seemed to be in a good mood. What exactly happened to her? Lily approached her daughter and sat down beside her, “Hey you, it has been almost a month since I have seen you this happy. What happened to you?” Cathy looked at her mother and revealed her white teeth. She smiled in delight as she hugged her mother’s arm, “Hey Mommy, have you finished having fun with the ladies?” “Oh yeah. I was worried about you so I decided to leave early. But it seems like I was worried for nothing.” “Mom, I am fine. Sorry for making you a
Chapter 59 After Ella’s car disappeared, a few men in blue aprons approached the security guard at the gate with their work tools. They were driving a long truck, and they seemed to be in a hurry. “We are here to finish up the renovation that has been ongoing. There is something that our client was not satisfied with, and we are here to work on it.” The security guard looked at their work ID’s. Seeing that it was the same company that had frequented here for the past month renovating the newly bought house, he allowed them in. The men in the blue aprons entered with their truck. They quietly parked it near Ella’s car. As others took out their tools and walked towards Daniel’s house, others remained in the parking lot. The security cameras had already been tampered with, so they could do whatever they wanted without being caught. After Ella and the kids left, Daniel did not go back to sleep. He went and took a quick shower. By the time he was done, Tony was already at the house. “
Chapter 60 Daniel took out his phone and tossed it to Tony, “Call the police. I am giving them five minutes and they should be here.” “Bo… boss.” Tony was so tense that he could not utter a single word. “Do as I say. There is a huge rock ahead, we will jump out of the car on my count.” Tony has never been afraid his whole life. Jump out of the car? Was his boss kidding? “If you want to stay alive, and not bang your head on the rock, you better trust me. That truck will be on us soon, and they will not leave until we are dead.” “How sure are you that they want us dead?” “They don’t want us dead, but they want Ella dead. They tampered with her brakes because they knew that she was a helpless woman who would not save herself.” Chills went down Tony’s spine when he heard that. Someone wanted his Madam dead? But who would that be? But what amazed him was his boss’s clear thinking and calm attitude, even in such a situation. He was not panicked that their car did not have brakes, in
Chapter 61 Ella found Pete already waiting for her in the parking lot. “Boss, hope in. I saw the news and I knew that you would try something as stupid as driving yourself to the hospital. I don’t know if you would have turned out any different from Mister Edmond.” Ella had nothing to say in her defense. Her only concern was to reach the hospital and ensure that Daniel was okay. She tried calling his number but the phone was not going through. Her heart was beating so fast that she was finding it hard to breathe. “Pete, can you go a little faster?” “Don’t worry, boss. I am sure that Mister Edmond is all right.” “How the hell did that happen? I drove that car yesterday and it was just all right. How could the brakes fail out of nowhere?” “The police said that they might have been tampered with. They arrested the truck driver and his minions, and they will have an answer as soon as they question them.” “I am the one who was supposed to be in that car. I am the one who should have
