LeilaMy first instinct when i woke up was to reach over for Michael , but when i found the spot next to me to be emptt, i couldn't help but groan. Wh6 did this man argue about sleeping in every day of the week but the one day that i wanted to cuddle in the morning, he was already up?"Michael ?" i called out to him in a groggy voice, wishing for nothing more than for him to return to bed. That way, we would be able to get those cuddles that i was so badly craving.I have been wanting to be with him for the longest time now, the fact that last night it happened I just want things to stay this way.When he didn't answer me as i expected, i couldn't help but grumble to my pillow, more than disappointed. This continued for a few seconds and just when i was on the verge of falling back asleep, my ears perked up at some foreign sounds from the living room.Who was Michael speaking to so early in the morning? As far as i had noticed, he wasn't much of a morning person.I also know today is
Leila "How does pancakes sound for breakfast?" Michael hummed as he began ruffling through my doors, looking for the ingredients that he needed."Sounds great." i hummed back in response but the sound was rather strange. My eyebrows shot up in surprise."What do you want on your pancakes?" he asked rummaging through the cupboards. When i didn't answer, he paused and glanced over at me, "How about chocolate chip?""Sounds good" I murmured in a quiet voice. "Are you making pancakes now?"He nodded, "Do you want your pancakes with some bacon?""No," i said my voice louder than before as i moved to the kitchen to join him."I think i will have some bacon with mine," Michael said whisking away at the batter that he had quickly whipped."With chocolate chip pancakes?" i snorted. "Bacon and chocolate chip pancakes is a pretty odd combination.""I am in a pretty odd mood." he chuckled, but the sound was quick to cease when i didn't join in.Several moments of silence passed between us as he
Chapter Fourty SixI found a seat at a circular table covered in white damask. I sat there sipping some juice looking around at the people who were chatting away. For all the elegance of the surroundings and the endless number of servants, the overall vibe was casual and relaxed.I was starting to enjoy myself when someone i had hoped not to see again stepped out of the house into the terrace, Maria looking phenomenal in a rose hued chiffon gown that floated around her knees. I could see why Jordan was infatuated with her, she looks amazing, and she is so beautiful. A hand settled on my shoulders and squeezed, setting my heart racing because it reminded mw of the first day i met Jordan. True to my inst8nct, turning around it was Jordan standing there smiling down at me with all his teeth out like a kid at Christmas. "Hey Ella," he took the chair next to mine, and set his elbows on his knees, leaning towards me. "Are you having fun? You are not mingling much.""I'am having a great ti
Jordan. Ella is loosing so much blood, there was blood literally everywhere, i can't stay there and watch her loose them, i couldn't take it. As soon as Chloe called 911 i left and went to the study. I open a bottle of scotch and pour some."Are you seriously about to start drinking right now?" Jeremy asks from the door ways startling me."I can't even have a moment of privacy alone in my house,? What are you doing here Jeremy ?" i ask him downing the scotch i had poured into the glass."The better question is what are you doing here Jordan, Ella is out there scared she might loose her babies, your babies and you are here drinking?" he says angrily, "what's wrong with you man? Shouldn't you be there trying to comfort her, i get that you didn't think that those are really your kids until the dna test but the human thing to do is be by her side right now.""I can't be out there Jeremy , i cant watch her loose them, i just can't.""Why not Jordan, why?""Because i held Zuri as she breat
Leila. This past few days have been nothing but pure bliss, Michael and i have literally been playing house like we had no worries in the world. I just went to the market to get some groceries for tonight. Maria was going to join us and give us an update on how events were progressing at her place.We still haven't told her about Edwin's visit, we plan on doing it today. After making sure i had gotten everything in my grocery list, i walk towards my car,"Where are they?" I couldn't help but grumble under my breath as i grumble under my breath as i dug deeper into my bag for the car keys. Frustrated groan after frustrated groan passes my lips until finally, i wrapped my fingers around the cold metal of my car keys.At the single press of a button, the sound of my unlocking car filled the air, but when i looked up, i was met with an unexpected sight.I immediately dropped all the shopping bags i was holding, spilling some of the contents dues to the force i used. Having stopped a few
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
