''Hey… hey… it's going to be okay now. Please stop crying.'' Lauren said, trying to pacify her.She understood how she felt. Losing her best friend temporarily and being stuck here was taking a major toll on her mental health and she knew that the only thing she could do for her was to comfort her.''How can I stop crying when Andrea has taken everything away from me? First, my parents, then my freedom and now my friend, the one person whom I thought would stand by me throughout has deserted me. Why is he doing this to me?'' Elena cried.She wanted answers to the many questions running through her mind but they weren't forthcoming. It was one thing to be with questions and another thing to be without answers and this was slowly driving her crazy.''It's all going to be alright, I promise you that. Please stop crying.'' Lauren begged.Even as she talked, more tears spilled down Elena's eyes in torrents. The pain she was feeling was too much for one person to bear and she was feeling it
Elena groaned, her eyes heavy with so much pain and unshed tears. Her body ached and it just seemed like whoever did this to her had launched several fire ants all over her body to punish her.''Ohhh.'' she croaked, her throat too parched to say a word.Squinting her eyes open, she hissed, shutting them close as a result of the bright chandelier that shone so brightly it seemed it was daytime.''Welcome back.''Andrea.She didn't even need to think so much to know that he was the one who spoke. Elena was momentarily confused as she had no idea what was really happening. At last, she managed to keep her eyes open but the pain that followed it as a result of being closed for a long time was unlike anything she had ever experienced before in her life.''Andrea.'' she croaked.It was then Elena noticed that she had been tied to the bed she was laying on. Her hands and her feets were strapped tightly by ropes that were eating deep inside her flesh. She felt so much pain in those areas and
Andrea''Boss, is she awake now?'' one of my men asked.As soon as I got the information that Elena was about escaping with the help of Lauren, I practically saw red. Never in my life would I ever have imagined that she could do something like this after all we had been through. I expected her to have at least come to me so we could talk about it but that wasn't the case. If my men hadn't been privy of this escape plan, Elena would have gotten away with it which would have left me with problems because now, I would be dealing with a missing person.''Yes, she is.'' I simply said.I remained silent, sipping my drink without a care in the world. I also couldn't deny the fact that I had overreacted, I shouldn't have tied her up. It was inhumane to do that and I knew she would hate me for it for the rest of her life and I wouldn't mind because I know I deserved it.No one treated anyone like this and I totally deserved it but one thing I knew was that I had to find a way for her to forgiv
ElenaAndrea laid me down gently on the chair, assessing my legs with his gentle touch. There was a small frown on his face and even though I couldn't see it, I knew that the wound was bad. Andrea hardly ever reacted to anything at all and for him to react now just told me that it was bad.''How bad is it?'' I asked.''It's going to be okay.'' he simply said.I knew he was just trying to protect my mental health because if I knew how bad it was, I would freak out which would just make matters worse. I didn't need that but yet, I wanted to know how bad it was.''It would need a lot of bandages and you might not to be able to walk well for a few days but don't worry… its nothing we can't fix.''''We? A few days? What exactly are you saying Andrea?'' I asked with a confused expression on my face.He was speaking like he was about to amputate my leg. Thinking about it now, I realized that he was the cause of the accident. If he hadn't reacted so violently when he saw me, none of this woul
AndreaElena couldn't be pacified and I knew better than to try. She was angry, livid this time around and never in my life have I seen her this angry before. I hated that I was the cause of all her troubles. First, I had imprisoned her, made her cut her leg without denying the fact that I was responsible for a series of emotional blackmails she had passed through simply because her family owed me some money. What kind of a human being am i? I knew the answer, I was a terrible human being.''You can go home.'' I said.She snapped her head up, staring at me like I had grown two heads within a minute. I knew that she was surprised at what I said and I had no doubt that several thoughts were running through her mind. The first and the most important would be whether i was pulling her legs, she would never believe me and i knew it but i had to make her understand that i was damn serious.''Yes Elena, you can go home.'' I said.I sighed again, staring at her. The nurses who were always on
Together, with the help of the nurses and doctors, Elena was moved to one of Andrea's many cars. As she sat at the back, looking at the magnificent building, mixed feelings went through her. On one hand, she was going to miss the building and everything about it but on the other hand, she wasn't because Andrea had made her pass through her, half of which made her wish for death.''I'll miss you Vanessa.'' she sighed.She was the only one that she would miss. Thinking about being away from her was already giving her a headache but Elena knew that what she was about to do now was for her benefit. She needed to see her family, her people and going away was the only way she could do that.''Elena.''She didn't even need to turn her head to know that it was Andrea who spoke. With the tone of his voice, Elena could tell that he was sad but yet, she refused to turn her head. It was best he kept wondering what kind of emotions she had in her eyes.''Please Elena, look at me.'' he begged.She
As the car took Elena further and further away from Andrea's house, she didn't know what to feel. This wasn't how she enviosioned her life to go, injured by the very person that claimed to love her.''Why would you do that to me?'' she mummured.''Is everything alright ma'am?'' the driver asked.''Yes, thank you. Everything is fine.'' Elena said.She wasn't about to tell her life story to someone that had no business in it. This was her fight and her fight alone and deep down, in the innermost part of her heart, she knew she had to fight for the love her and Andrea shared. She couldn't just allow it go that way, it was worth fighting for but what she didn't know was whether he was ready to fight alongside her in reclaiming what they lost.''I need to call Syria.'' she whispered.Elena still had about two hours more before she got to her house being that the distance was very far. She couldn't wait to see how her parents reacted when they saw her. No doubt, they would be very surprised
The car finally pulled to a stop in front of Elena's house and for the first few minutes, all she could do was to look at it as silent tears rolled down her eyes. She couldn't believe she was here, couldn't believe that she was actually sitting in front of her house, staring at the familiar black gates that she was so used to seeing but has now become very strange to her.''Ma'am, we're here.'' the driver said.''Yes… yes, thank you. I just need a minute, i'll be out soon.'' she sighed.''No worries ma'am, i'll go help with your luggage.'' he said before climbing out of the car.The more Elena thought about it, the more she couldn't believe that she was actually here. This was really happening, live in the flesh and not something she was thinking about.''I have to go.'' she sighed.Finally, she stepped out of the car and the first thing she saw was her old dog. He bounded towards her, barking in joy as he was reunited with its owner. Elena crouched down, running her hands through him
