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
The moment we arrived at his mansion, I was more than elated because of the fact that I get to have a good night rest void of the dangers that lock around the street on a warm bed with thick blanket away from the cold.“ Miss Elena! Good to have you here once again” The gentle but fierce voice of Mrs. Lucy greeted me the moment I walked into that large living room that reminded me of my mom and how she grew a particular flower by the window still and would always come there to stare at it with those beaming smiles.“ Thank you Lucy ”“ I made some lasagna with salad and trust me you are going to love it!!”“ That sounds nice, thanks Lucy but I would like to get away from this clothes and have a warm bath, it been long I had one”“ Sure! I will set the table while I await you and Austin”There was this sincere smile on her face, like she was happy to see me. I walked upstairs as Austin followed me and as I stopped right at the door to the guest room

She opens her eyes slowly, the bedsheet smells nice, very soft and comfortable, she was ready to spend the whole day there but off course she got two jobs she need to be right at the moment. She sat upright, straighten up herself, only then she noticed the presence of the male figure standing right at the window holding a cup of coffee. “ You are awake ” He spoke still staring blankly through the window. “ I fell asleep in your room, am really sorry about that, but how did I ended up on your bed?” “ Don’t you have somewhere yo

Elena was half way asleep when she heard gun shot, she is suppose to be use to it by now, but each time, the sound was so terrifying. She covers her head with the thick blanket with which she uses to shed away from cold but it wasn’t helping, the sound kept getting more loud and close and then suddenly, she felt the presence of someone close to her, Elena was scared, she didn’t want to open her eyes nor let go of the blanket until the voice spoke, it was hoarse and stink of alcohol. “ Hey there!

After having a cold shower, Elena isn’t surprise about the fact that the whole wardrobe has been changed.
