''I need to be very careful.'' Elena murmured.After leaving Lauren in the kitchen, she made her way back to Vanessa's room to give her the food and the medications for her headache. As soon as she got there, she was quite surprised to see that she had already taken her bath and was sitting comfortably on her comfy chair while reading a book.''You've had your bath? Well, that was fast.'' Elena smiled.''Yes, i didn't want to eat with a dirty body.'' she chuckled.Elena admired her cleanliness and how well mannered she was. Though she could be a terror most times but still, she couldn't deny the fact that she had a sweet side.''Here, I brought you your food and some drugs for your headache. You'll be alright in no time.'' Elena smiled.She helped her set it up on her small table, making sure that she ate every item on the plate before giving her some painkillers.''Would you like to rest your head for a while?'' Elena asked.''I'm supposed to be in school.'' she sighed.''Well, at yo
''What does she want to do.'' Elena murmured.She knew how irrational Syria could be and she was scared that she might do something terrible, something that might end up getting her into trouble. That was something Elena was trying to avoid and she didn't know what to do as she was very confused. ''I need to stop her, she's going to do something she will end up regretting. Andrea is a mad man when it comes to protecting his territory.'' Elena muttered.He wouldn't mind dumping her in his dungeon just because she came here and that was something Elena knew she couldn't afford to happen.''I need to do something.'' she said.She tried calling her number again but this time, it just went straight to voicemail and she knew that Syria had purposely switched her line to voicemail. She was really going to do it and Elena feared that all of this was terrible.Elena rushed out of the room, heading towards the hallway where she knew that she would get the opportunity to see when Syria walked i
''Please can we all sit down and talk about this, It's not as bad as you guys are making it seem.'' Elena said.Already, she was developing a headache and she knew that any moment from now, the headache would come in full force. She knew that Syria was a woman who would never leave a matter unsettled until she came to the final stop and for this, she was ready to drag it for as long as possible.''Please.'' Elena begged again.There were many things she had in her mind but the most important of them all was this issue. She needed Syria to understand that she was here on her own volition and not under duress like she was making it seem.''Okay but just because of you.'' she hissed.Already, Elena could see Andrea boiling with anger and she knew that if Syria had been a man, he would have taken it up with him long before now. He was only respecting her because one, she was a woman whom she didn't know and secondly, he didn't want there to be any trouble. He could cause some troubles for
''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
