Dre and Ellise visited Jade few hours after the traumatic revelation. Jade's baby girl was such a beauty. She had Jade's eyes and nose but she looked so much like her father. Dre and his wife returned home thereafter.
"I bet you're going to be a great father" she said to Dre, hugging him from behind. His body relaxed in her arms."I don't know what I'll do without you, Ellie. You're everything to me" he said.She smiled, kissing his bare back."You mean a lot to me too" she whispered."We'll get through this, I promise" he said.She nodded, closing her eyes."Aren't you tired?" He asked.She chuckled."I'm tired. My back hurts and my feet are starting to hurt" she groaned, pouting.He cupped her face, his eyes reflecting his concern for her"Oh come on. It's nothing serious. I just need a massage that's all" she whined.He gave her a small smile and led her to the bed before grabbing the massage ointEllise watched her husband as he spoke with Dmitri and Dominic. After discovering that Lilly and CeCe had gone missing, it seemed like he had become a different person. The atmosphere had changed and she didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. He raised his head and his gaze met hers. A shiver ran down her spine when she saw the look in his eyes. His eyes weren't dull. They were bright, so bright but not in a good way. He had a mischievous look in his eyes and a devilish smirk playing on his lips. But that was not what was scaringEllise. His knuckles were bruised and earlier that morning, she'd heard him punching the mirror. Before she could tend to his wounded hands, he'd mumbled an apology and had gone out to meet Dominic and Dmitri. She was worried that Dre had become his old self. She knew he wouldn't hurt her but she didn't know what his plans were. "Morning, El" Dominic said, winking at him."Hey, Dom. How's Jade and Anna
Ellise watched her husband as he paced back and forth in his room. He was so tense and frustrated. He cursed under his breath, and loosed his hair from it's bun. She watched him take out a hair clip-like device. He'd refused to eat earlier, telling her he wasn't hungry. She knew he had been having nightmares too but he had shut himself off. He was so determined to find the others. He glared at the device he'd taken out from his hair and walked to the window to throw it away but somehow, he changed his mind and placed it back in his hair."What's that?" She asked."It's-"His phone rang and he picked the call, walking out of the room in a hurry. She sighed and sat down on the bed. She picked up her phone and called Amelia, asking her if she wanted to hang out. She agreed and they both went shopping. She bumped into Elvis at the mall. He didn't look good at all. She guessed he hadn't gotten over his wife's death. "Hey" he rasped, giving
Ellise quietly struggled against her restraints, wincing at the pain on her wrists and ankles. She let out a sigh, staring at the ceilings.She was worried.Cornelia didn't want to kill her. She actually wanted Dre to die in front of her. It had been her aim all along.The day she'd poisoned Dre with some sort of gas, she'd actually wanted her to stay and watch him die."There's no use of struggling. We just have to wait a bit longer. I'm sure Alex is on his way" she said, smirking.Ellise clenched her fist, glaring at her. She grinned and squatted in front of her."Your husband loves you a lot doesn't he? He'll do anything to protect you.... to keep you safe" she said, her long fingers tracing Ellise's baby bump through her large shirt. "Don't touch me" she hissed, spitting at her. Cornelia grimaced with disgust, wiping it off."You bitch!" She growled, slapping her on the face."You're the bit
Shocked to silence, Ellise stared at her husband who was showing her the dark part of him for the first time since she'd married him.He seemed to have become a different person entirely. He looked so relaxed and he had a very evil smirk on his face even while he was bleeding a lot. Ellise found it rather scary.Cornelia cried out in pain when another knife lodged itself on her right thigh."How does it feel? Tell me, do you like it? It's called pain. The pain you caused me can't be compared to this. I know you're insane but I'll punish you. I warned you, didn't I?" Dre said, plunging the blade of another knife into fire until it became red hot. "Please" Cornelia whimpered."What did you say?" He whispered, mockingly.She remained silent, tears rolling down her cheeks.Ellise almost felt sympathy for her but when she remembered what she'd done to her family, how she'd almost killed her husband, she felt no remorse, n
"I don't get it. How is this happening right now? How did I not recognize him? I dated him for nearly a year but..... Elvis.... This is giving me a headache" Ellise frowned, pacing back and forth as she rubbed her temple."Hey, hey. You have to calm down. Stress isn't good for the baby. I'm sure there must be an explanation for all of this. Why would your ex do something like this?" Alex said, sitting her down on the couch. She frowned, biting her lower lip."Why would he send Cornelia? Why would he send her to do his dirty job for him and why did she do it?" She said."It just doesn't make sense. Cornelia has been ranting about her wanting to avenge Gomez's death. What does it have to do with him?""I guess we're about to find out" Valentino said walking in with a file. Dre stood up, giving him a puzzled look."What's in there?" Ellise asked."Information. Everything you need to know about Zack Thompson is here"Dr
"Have I ever told you how beautiful your eyes are?" Val asked, gazing into Noelle's eyes. She smiled, giddily."No?""Then, I'm saying it now. Your eyes are stunning, Elle" he whispered.She blushed hard."Your eyes are beautiful too, Val" she said, brushing his hair out of his eyes. "But, yours are more beautiful" he winked. "I'm not having an argument with you" she pouted.He laughed."Well, we've been dating for months but I feel like I've known you far more than that. I- I just.... I don't deserve you, you know. With everything that-"His voice was shaky with emotion, her heart ached for him. She stroked the scarred side of his face. "No, don't say that. You deserve even more than me, Val. You're a great guy. You have a big heart and you're so sweet. I couldn't have asked for anything less. You're perfect" she said, caressing his face. Tears filled his eyes and a tear rolled down his left cheek. "Don't cr
'Okay, breathe Ellie.You can do this' Ellise thought as she stifled another scream. She'd woken up from a nap, only to find her sweatpants wet. The babies were coming and she was so scared. The contractions were increasing and it hurt so bad."Oh God, I can't even walk" she muttered, picking up her phone to call her husband. She bit her lower lip, her eyes glassy. When she dialled his number, he picked the call."Ellie?""Dre...oh thank God. I think the babies are coming" she croaked, sniffling weakly."Oh shit" Dre cursed under his breath. "It hurts, Dre" she whispered."Keep breathing, honey. I'll be right there in a few minutes. You can do this" he said and she nodded frantically, placing a hand on her stomach."Please, keep talking to me. I'm... scared" she whispered."I'm right here, baby. You're going to be a wonderful mother. You're going to make me a proud father. You're okay. You're doing great" he said.
"We were wrong, Dre. We were so wrong. Look, Fletcher had three sons. They were fucking triplets! The names.... It was just to confuse us, they were three different people! Their supposed last names seemed different because they were only using their first names and middle names! There was no accident. Zack is Zack. He didn't have a face transplant. As I'm speaking to you right now, we've got two of them with some psycho men, trying to barge into the base. I don't know where the last one is but I have a bad feeling that something isn't right. Are you still at the hospital?" Xanthis asked through the phone."Yeah" Dre replied, distantly. He turned away from the exit, changing his mind completely. He needed to get back to Ellise."Go back to Ellie, mate. Things are pretty much unstable right now""I know, but you sure you guys are okay down there?" Dre asked, hurrying towards the ward."Yeah, for now. They are psychos for real. This is harder th
