As he sat down at the bar drinking himself to stupor just to forget what he had just witnessed, he laid his eyes on Ellie. Immediately he saw Ellie, he forgot what actually brought him to Cheetahs and his eyes were glued on her. He watched the way she twisted her body as she held the pole and he could not help but fall in love with every of her single movement. He watched as she moved with her hair cascaded in soft waves down her back.
As Ellie danced on the dance floor, her body flew with the music with every of her movement a symphony of grace and rhythm. He was mesmerized with the way she moved with confidence that was both alluring and intoxicating, drawing him in just like a moth to a flame. As she danced, her eyes were closed which showed she was lost in the music and she seemed to be in her own world Edward couldn’t take his eyes off her. She was like a goddess, a vision of beauty and grace that captivated him completely. He felt the urge to join her on the dance floor and so he did. As he held her and their bodies moved in sync to the rhythm, he felt the music pulsing through his veins as he moved with her in perfect harmony. As he held her in his arms, he felt some kind of peace and solace in his heart making him forget the betrayal he had just gotten from his wife and best friend. He felt like he was at home and he felt like sometimes, home is a person. All he wanted at that moment was to continue being in that position of embrace and he was so mesmerized with the moment that he didn’t notice the music had stopped. ‘Excuse me, Sir. Can you please let go of me? I have to be on my way home’, Ellie had said in a soft manner bringing Edward back to reality. Her voice was so gentle and sweet. ‘She seems polite and respectful’, Edward had thought. Edward didn’t know what to say as he was still admiring Ellie’s features. As Ellie turned to leave, Edward’s gaze followed her and he kept on looking at her. As he watched her leave, he knew immediately that the only thing he wanted that night was to be in Ellie’s embrace. Walking up to Ellie and hugging her from behind, Edward said: ‘Hello, Beauty. Would you like to be my bedmate tonight?’ ‘With pleasure’, Ellie murmured with a smirk on her face and locking her lips with that of Edward. There, their love story began after spending the night in each other’s embrace that night.Waking up the following morning at the hotel they had lodged, Ellie was nowhere to be found. Edward searched around but couldn’t find her. He went to the reception asking if they had seen his partner whom he lodged with the night before only to be told she had checked out in the early hours of the day. He went back to the room reminiscing on the moments they had shared together the night before and he couldn’t help but smile. He knew that was their first encounter but he felt she is the missing piece of his life he has been longing. He sensed what he was feeling that moment seems familiar. He guessed right, it was the same feeling he had whenever he was with his mum, Catherine during his childhood.
He decided to stay a few more days at the hotel because he wasn’t ready to face both Sophia and Richard. Each night before he slept, he kept on thinking about her. He knows neither her name or where she lives. Days passed and he still couldn’t get her off his head. He couldn’t believe a chance encounter could have such a profound effect on him. He tried stopping himself from thinking about her as he hadn’t gotten over the shock of Sophia’s betrayal and he wasn’t ready to get into another relationship yet. But the more he tried to forget about her, the more he kept thinking about her. And so, he decided to go for her, unaware of where it would lead them. He promised himself not to fall in love with her, he just wanted to flow with the moment and enjoy the moment.The only place he could look for her since he doesn’t know her name and where she lives is actually where he had met her. And so, he went back to Cheetahs hoping to find her there but she was nowhere to be found. After days of
Days went by with Edward pretending not to be aware of Sophia’s betrayal. He tried his best not show it but there were times he became distant from Sophia. The betrayal was eating his heart up and he promised himself not to ever fall in love again. In between, he kept thinking about the mysterious lady he had met at Cheetahs and had a one-night stand with. He couldn’t get her off his head and so, he decided to visit Cheetahs one last time and there, he saw Ellie dancing.Watching her from afar, he watched as she moved her body to match the rhythm, making him become more mesmerized by her. After she was done with her shift, Edward approached her.‘Hello, Beauty. How you doing?’, Edward had asked looking straight into Ellie’s eyes.‘I am good and you?’, Ellie asked tying to avoid Edward and moving towards the exit.‘Hey, wait up’, Edward said following her.‘What do you want?’, Ellie asked sounding harsh.‘Hey, Chill. You don’t have to be rude. I mean no harm. About the other day …….’‘
On one of Ellie and Edward’s dates, Ellie decided to confess her feelings to Edward. They decided to meet at Brew-tique café. The sun was setting, casting a warm golden glow over the city skyline. Edward was seated in the café, waiting for Ellie who seems to running late to show up. Few minutes later, the door opened and there, Ellie came in looking elegant. She looked more beautiful than before and her beautiful was radiating like a light in the room. She wore a simple yet elegant dress that accentuated her figure and with each step she took towards Edward, she exuded a quiet confidence and poise.Edward couldn’t help but admire her the more. She was looking more beautiful than ever and every other man’s eyes in the room were on her. Edward was lost in his thought of him admiring her and was only brought back to reality when Ellie snapped her fingers right at his face.‘Am I that beautiful? Is it that you can’t resist my beauty?’, Ellie asked jokingly and smiling. As she smiled, Edwa
Sophia is seen pacing up and down biting her fingers and feeling frustrated with what she had just witnessed.‘Calm down, Sophia. Do not forget that you are pregnant and you could hurt the baby by stressing yourself over a minor scene you had just witnessed’, Richard said, trying to calm her down.‘A minor scene, you say? I just saw my husband locking lips with a stranger at the club. That was not even enough. He declared publicly that she belongs to him in front of the whole crowd and even confessed his feelings for her. And you are here telling me it is a minor issue?’. Sophia said with anger and shouting at Richard.‘Chill, Sophia. We will find a way out of this’, Richard said trying to assure her.‘You should have allowed me challenge him at the club. Why did you stop me?’, Sophia asked feeling angered.‘Are you even thinking straight? Face him and tell him what? What if he had asked what you were doing at the club with me there with you?’, Richard asked facing Sophia who couldn’t
As Ellie watched Edward sleep peacefully, she couldn’t wish for a better life more than the one she is currently experiencing. She remembered what she had gone through with her ex and could only feel grateful for having met Edward. She kept on admiring his features as he slept and couldn’t help but to admit how handsome he looked even as he slept.She remembered how he had publicly declared his affection for her the night before, in the presence of everyone and couldn’t help but to giggle. She remembered Sophia’s facial expression as she had seen her at the club that night, although, Edward wasn’t aware of her presence. Ellie somehow felt happy with Sophia witnessing the whole incident because that was just the beginning of her revenge as she would cause so much pain for Sophia and her family, for hurting her mother.In between her thought, Edward’s phone rang and the person that called was no other than Sophia. Ellie thought of picking the call to torture Sophia the more and then, sh
After having hung up on Sophia, Ellie deleted the call history in order for Edward not to be aware of the fact that she spoke with Sophia. She walked to her window, after having dropped Edward’s phone on the shelf where she had picked it.She watched as the sun rose and she was so amazed by the view and its beauty. She ad never felt this peace before as she has always been on the run her whole life, trying to escape from her dirty past. She remembered the eyes of the man on her as he laid in the pool of blood. She couldn’t get the gaze of the man off her head as it has been hunting her in her dreams every blessed day, seeking for revenge for his death.To keep the scene off her head, she closed her eyes, thinking that would be a way of escaping from her reality but the more she kept her eyes closed, the more the image became vivid in her head. As she opened her eyes and looked at glass of her window right in front of her, all she could see was that vengeful gaze seeking for revenge. S
As the days went by, the love Edward and Ellie have for each other kept on growing putting Sophia in a dilemma. Edward spent most of his times in Ellie’s house, barely going home. And on rare occasions that Edward went home, he never gave the chance for him and Sophia to have a conversation.On one of the rare occasions that Edward went home, he and Sophia had a hot argument. It was on a Friday night and when Sophia saw Edward come home, she had thought Edward would be spending the night and the weekend with her only for him to pack some of his clothes and heading for the door without deeming it fit to tell Sophia anything about his movement.‘Where are you headed to? I thought we would be spending the night together?’, Sophia asked, curious of where Edward was headed to although she was already aware and just needed a confirmation.‘I have some files I need to review at the office. So, I will be spending the night there’, Edward said.‘So, why do you need so much clothe if you will o
After her argument with Edward that night, she realized she might finally lose Edward to Ellie due to Edward’s change in attitude towards her. In order to prevent that, Sophia headed to her parents’ house the following day to see her mother.Upon seeing the countenance of her daughter as soon as she entered her bedroom, Stephanie, Sophia’s mum knew something was off.‘May I know what the problem is my princess? You are not even showing that you are happy to see me? Is there anything I need to know?’, Stephanie asked, trying to figure out what was going on in her daughter’s head.‘I called you the other day to ask for help, Mum but you told me you were busy and you would get in touch with when you are free but you never did’, Sophia said with her frustration evident.‘I am so sorry my princess. Your father has been giving me a lot of headaches nowadays. He has been trying to go back to his old ways’, Stephanie responded sighing.‘What’s up with you and dad? I never knew you both are no
