After a whole day of rest, Austin felt refresh and was ready for whatever comes next. Walking into the company, everyone greeted him in admiration as they whisper to each other. The news about how the board meeting went had spread throughout the entire company and everyone taught Austin is a real fighter despite the chairman being against him.
As he goes into his office, he immediately began to go through the files in his office. Countless works dumped for so long while trying to pursue those he taught were the most important of them all. Freya walks in with a cup of tea as usual, a worried smile on her face as she places the mug right in front of him.
“ Good morning, Boss! You look...... better today. How is Elena doing?”
“ She is fine. Has Kenneth arrived?”
“ Yes Boss! He is with the financial department”.
“ The financial department! What is he doing there?”
“ How am I supposed to know,
Austin kept on having a serious migraine at work and couldn't focus on anything, despite how many pills he took to ease up the pain. After all his fruitless effort, he finally decided to head back home.Elena just got back and was taking a shower when she heard his car drove in, she hurried, wearing a white rope and rushed downstairs to him.“ Austin! You are back...... early”.“ Yeah! Just needed some rest”He spoke without even glancing at her a second time and went straight upstairs to his room. After undressing himself, he dips himself in the bathtub, his eyes shut tight, trying as much as possible to travel to Dreamland.Elena walks into his room, seeing him in that state, she knew all these problems were finally catching up to him, and somehow she felt very guilty.She kneels behind him and slowly began to massage his back. He grab both her hands in an attempt to stop her.” You are pregnant! The last thing
Mrs. Lizzy's eyes beam with gladness at the sight of Elena, at first when Elena started working at the company, they only considered her to be an ambitious girl who will do anything to get where she wants but now, Lizzy still thought of her that, but she felt Elena wasn't that much ambitious, only able to steal the CEO heart.“ Elena! What a pleasant surprise, good to see you again”. “ Thanks. Sorry, I had to be gone this long…”“Of course it's nothing”Without waiting for Elena to finish her statement, she quickly cut in, trying to show much of a courtesy. “ Ma! I heard about the money that was supposed to go into the recent company's project and that is why I had to resume work”. “ Please Elena it Lizzy, call me Lizzy! Have been informed that you will be in charge of the case. Please whatever you need, let me, I will help as much as I can”. “ Thank you. Moreover, I will be using your computer for the time being”. “ That won't be a problem”She gestures to Elena to follow her, El
Raymond was sitting on one of the lab desks, he seems far away with his thought staring into space when Elena walked in. “ Ray!”Elena called as he was startled. “ Elena! My God, you scared me!” “ I did nothing, I just called your name, why should you be startled over that ..... Except you were not even here in the first place”. “ Am sorry, I was just thinking”He apologized pinching the bridge of his nose, staring at him, Elena could tell he was exhausted. “ Yeah, I can tell” “ So, what brings you down here?” “ The same thing that brought Kenneth. You seem to be popular these days, which I am guessing you know why”! “ Yeah! The money, it was a mistake. I will pay the company back and accepts whatever punishment am served”. “ Does that mean you are admitting you stole the money?” “ Yes, I did!”He was avoiding eye contact with her while his eyes were running wild in the lab like he has just been here for the first time and was trying to get familiar with the place. “ Is that
Elena finished preparing dinner and was now relaxing at the swimming pool when she heard Austin's car drive in.It was winter, the wind was strong, and she walks over to Austin, the strong wind kept messing with her green silk gown exposing much of her body. As Austin walks up to her, there is this grin on his face, her silk gown was nearly transparent, and he could tell she was not wearing any undies.“ Hi dear”She greeted trying to place a kiss on his cheek, he stopped her just in time as he gently grab her waist, she grasps, and her muscles were suddenly stiff, she wasn't expecting that considering how things has been for the past few months, but she desperately wanted to ignite the fire.He pulled her close into a kiss as his left hand gently grab her blonde hair while his right hand rested on her waist while his tongue slowly tangled with hers.While Elena kept her eyes closed, his eyes were wild open, even as he stares at her, there was this burning ache deep within his heart,
Elena slowly opens her eyes, she felt like her head was whirling and could see the room rotating, she struggles to get up but was so weak, it was only then she snagged a glimpse of the IV injected into her, she slowly scans through the room and was now fully conscious of the fact that she was at the hospital. A nurse walks into the ward and sees Elena awake, warm smiles platered on her pale face. “ You are awake! How are you feeling?”“ Why am I here?!”“ You don't remember anything? You fell down the stairs, you were brought in by your mom, I think you should be more careful” Hearing the nurse mention the word ‘mom’ she felt her blood boil and could gradually recall what happened that day.“ Thanks, nurse, was my dad here?” Elena ask hoping in the heavens that he still cares about her and was worried“ No! Just your mom and sister”“ Oh! Okay”ELENA'S POV..........Having been trying so hard for my father to look at me even just once again with those fatherly eyes filled with love, b
ELENA'S POV.......The moment the gate flung open, my heart skipped, I was scared of the fact that he might ask me to leave the premises. I had no way of knowing the exact time, but I could tell it was late. At that moment, I began to consider if I should go back home but remembering how much abuse I would have to face both physically, mentally, and emotionally, I became reluctant to even consider the thought.“ Why are you still here?” He ask the moment the gate opened, he was wearing a night robe, water still dripping from his head down to his shoulder.“ Please, sir! Once it is morning, I will leave, I promise!!”“ You mean you intend to spend the whole night here, are you not feeling cold?”“It's okay sir, is used to it”He looks at me from head to toe like he was considering what to do with me, he heaved a sigh and spoke “ Come inside! ”“ What?!!” I ask not sure of what I heard“ Come inside, it's too cold out here!” I quickly followed him before he gets a second thought, enter
I arrived at doctor Maxwell’s office at the medical center at East avenue, I already called him to inform him I was coming, the moment I walked in, the receptionist let me in.“ How are you feeling today?” Maxwell askWe“ Am fine. I surprisingly had a good night rest”“ By night rest you mean you slept for some seconds?”“ No! I actually slept for hours”“ And how is that possible?”“ It a long story bro”I narrated to him how I met Elena, took her home and how her presence was able to give me comfort enough to make me fall asleep.“ Why did you asked her to leave? You have been writing lots and lots of check just to be able to close your eyes even for just an hour, but despite all the money, it hasn’t been working and then free of charge your prayers are answered, so am curious why did you let her go?&rdq
I hurriedly served the customers that were waiting and rush outside to settle this once and for all.“ You look all skinny, how have you been?” She ask the moment I was outside“ Am fine and by fine I mean am better, why are you here?”“ To take you home off course”“ I see…. You are not making much money right now, I guess there is no one to be your sex slave any longer, ohoo I almost forgot, Kayla is there, she should go make you some money” I knew that would make her angry but I was ready for her next action, she raised her hand to slap me, but I held it before it could land on my face.“ I see you have grown wings!”“ Sleeping on the street has made me tough, go back to your paradise let me live in my simple world”“ I know you would refuse to come with me, that why I brought some Friends, let see how tough you can be right now” She glowered as two men walk towards us.They walk towards me and grab both my arms in an
