Leila. "Personally, right now all i want to know is how you are going to get three million dollars by Friday, because as i said am not ready to die just yet." I ask her. "Michael had a plan, so let's just talk about how we will get the money.""I can just ask Jordan for the money, am sure he would be delighted to help me out.""Are you mad?" i ask completely dumbstruck by what she has just said. "You are going to ask Jordan Parker for three million dollars? For what exactly?""I can come up with something am sure," she says like it's the easiest thing in the world."Then come up with that something right now Maria, because there is no way in hell Jordan is just going to give you such kind of money, just like that or just because something personal came up. He is going to want to know what exactly came up because that's a whole lot of money." i say, " and not to add that he might have just lost his babies.""I hate to agree with Leila, but she is right. People don't just give out that
Leila. "Did you find anything?" Michael asks coming into the master bedroom that Maria and Jordan supposedly share."Yes, we found a couple of things that will mske some good cash," i say showing him the jewelry we had collected that was all in a plastic bag."Am really optimistic, we are going to get all the cash we need." I say smiling as i take out a vintage watch, "Jordan was given this watch by his dad, it's a family heirloom, but he never wears it so i doubt he will notice its missing at all." i say as i take it out of its box and drop it into the patch we were going to sell.There is sudden movements, coming from outside, we all look at Maria who rushes to look from the windows, she opens a small part of the curtains to look outside, we all join her. Someone is at the main gate we can see head lights and he was trying to open the gate."Who else has keys to this house?" Michael asked what i was obviously dying to ask."No one," she answers back still looking out of the window.
Jordan . "I am the one who actually served Ella her food Jeremy ," i say looking at both of them. "I personally served her the food and the water and glass of juice she had there after. I also served Maria they were all sitted together, there is no way it was her.""Maybe that was her plan all along, you might have served Ella, but that does not mean the food you served her wasn't already posioned." Chloe says"How do we know, it's something she ate at my party?""Because the drugs she was drugged take about twenty minutes to work, otherwise the babies would be dead, so meaning it was at your party.""I honestly don't understand any of this, why would Maria even do that it just doesn't make sense.""Did you serve Ella's plate yourself? Or didd one of your workers do it?" Jeremy asks me"I served the food myself, it was self service but then one of the maids added a patch of fruits and said, they were good for Ella and the babies." i say remembering vividly,"Did she serve anyone else
ELLAAm still a little bit dizzy, my head still hurts a little bit and my whole abdomen is in pain. I try looking around it's all white, the walls are white and there's total silence."Hey, look who is finally up," i hear a female voice. I turn as i look around and see her, a nurse adding something into the iv machine connected to my wrist.I finally register where i am, and everything starts coming back to me in bits. I remember being at the party chatting with Maria, I was annoyed because Chloe had disappeared on me. Then it finally dawns on me why an here, i remember the excruciating pain, the blood, i start crying, "God i lost them didn't i?" i ask the nurse still crying.She takes my arm, "No you didn't, your babies are okay, just relax." i try to feel my belly"Really? They are okay, but i lost so much blood." i say still the memory of the previous night fresh in my mind."Yes you did lose alot of blood but you got to hospital in time." she said smiling. "Your husband and friend
Leila . For the past five years, i was obsessed with the dream that once all our plans are in place, i would be able to love with Michael for the rest of our lives. All i could think about was him. All i wanted was him, i just wish we had started ogf differently, i know if we did, our chances of making it were much higher. But now with every plan we execute, instead of being closer to our goals i feel drifting further from him. And that made me feel a whole lot worse than i already did.With those heavy thoughts weighing on my mind, I sighed and turned off the water, stepping out of the shower. I reached for the towel and dried myself up, i was about to put on some lounge wear when an idea came to me, so i just put on an oversized t-shirt . I walked into the bedroom, and there he was lying on the bed reading some magazine.I walked up to him and grabbed the magazine he was reading and tossed it up. I climbed on top of him, "Let's play bit the clock." i said to him."We shouldn't be d
Chapter Fifty Four Jordan . I can see Chloe approaching us, she looks furious, "I will go start making the arrangements for Ella to be transferred to the facility." i say to Jeremy , "Plus i don't want to be near her, she looks furious." i say pointing at Chloe who is walking towards us. Jeremy looks up and sees her."Shit! Can't you just pretend we are in the middle of something, i don't want to deal with that right now." Jeremy says pleadingly."I am sorry buddy, she is already here." i say walking away."What the hell was that? Why would you do that to Ella, you of all know She did not do that to herself." Chloe says to Jeremy as soon as she reachs where he is."I know she is your friend babe, but you can't be really sure, she has been struggling recently maybe she thought that was the only way out.""Excuse me? Only way out of what? What did that man do to you? He can't come to terms that his little miss perfect is actually not real, so instead od dealing with his own crap he is
ELLA. Am sitted on my bed in the facility, Chloe went out to get me some essentials i would need in this new home. I see Jordan and Jeremy walking in with a bag on Jeremy 's hands."Spacious," Jeremy says as he puts the bag on the seat next to the bed. "How are you feeling?" he asks me."Betrayed thanks." i answer back."Ella, i know right now you think that..." Jordan tries to speak up."Jordan stop, i get drugged at your party in your house, i almost loose my babies, your babies and you don't even ask one question? You don't investigate who could have done that to me right under your nose, you don't even ask me how am doing, you just decide to have me committed? For all i know you could be the one who drugged me, everything i ate at your party, was served by you." I say furiously, " what kind of person does that?"" The kind of person that wants the mother of his children to be safe and better.""Is that what you are telling yourself? That this is what is best for me?" i ask hi
Jordan. I have just gotten back to the beach house, am exhausted. I haven't slept in close to three days , am trying to gather the courage to get out of my car and walk up to the front door. Am supposed to act like everything is still fine between me and Maria, but it's killing me, Ella thinking i put her in the facility on purpose is driving me crazy, i can't stand to see her cry one more time trying to convince me that she is not crazy. I also can't tell her i know she is okay, and innocent of all this, she is just damage control in whatever game Maria was playing."Hey babe,"Maria knocks on my car window startling me from my thoughts." What are you doing, why are you not coming up to the house?" she asks getting in the car. " I kind of shut down after parking," i say kissing her forehead." I am exhausted, i could really use a long hot bath right about now but i don't know if i can get past the car." i say truthfully, my whole body was exhausted. "Well i sure can help you with th
