They all stood in the large living room. Austin had gone to meet the MC to dismiss the guests that had come. He had sincerely apologized and also told them that something bad had come up so in order not to put their lives at risk, it was better if they just leave. So everyone seemed to be in their thoughts as they sat down. Elsa stood up behind the chair with her arms akimbo, in deep thoughts.Ellie was thinking about how the situations turned out to be like this. Elsa was thinking about how of a truth it was.“I don’t understand what is going on here.” Everyone turned towards Elsa. She walked to the center. “I mean, you believe what that lady said, can't you see that she was out of her mind?” She asked with confusion written on her face and gesticulated with her hands.“See, let me tell you. I grew up with my parents and I also have a granny so being your child is…” She released a deep breath.“Ellie, you know what? Let's leave.” She urged Ellie who did not stand up from the chair s
“I will convince my parents to arrange a marriage contract between our families and the marriage will happen between Jayson and I, what do you think?” She asked with a smile on her lips while she prayed in her head for her to agree.Jayson's mom thought about for a while, she saw that it was really a sensible suggestion. She looked at Shawna. “I will speak to Jayson's dad about it and will get to you. Thank you so much.” Sue appreciated her which made Shawna even more elated. At last, she would finally get engaged to him.She did not spend much time as there was no one around to keep her company except for their mother. As soon as she walked into her house, she was happy that her mother was around.“Mom, where's dad?” She asked as he dropped her Gucci bag on the chair.“He is not back from work yet, what happened?” Her mother asked with concern.“Nothing actually. Just that I was able to finalize a marriage contract with Jayson's mom today.” She said with excitement. Her parents knew
Knock! Knock! Knock!Liliana knocked with a little hesitation. Elsa glared at the door as if the door should be locked forever. She hated the way she was feeling. She was strong. Strong girls don't cry. She should accept them. Her granny…She broke down into tears. All these years of her life, she lived with fake parents. She cherished them like they were her blood. Why did they have to leave them?If they were here, they might have refuted their claims and proved that they were their real parents and not these couple standing outside her door.“Elsa dear.” Liliana called with worry as she dropped another knock on the door.“Leave me alone, I want to be alone.” Elsa yelled accompanied with a sob. As Liliana was about to talk, Austin held her and shook his head.“Let her be. It's really hard for them to accept. Let's go meet Ellie.” He forced a slight smile. Liliana looked at the door and reluctantly turned on her heels and walked towards the living room.Ellie looked up to see her par
*Some Weeks Later*Ellie came out of the bathroom. She looked around for her phone and saw it on lying on the bed. She went towards it and picked it.Ever since they left their granny's place. Life has been good to them. They almost had problems adjusting to this kind of life. But it was nothing since Ellie already had a taste of it. They tried urging their granny to come live with them but Racheal insisted that she should stay at her place and that they could come visit her since she was always home.Elsa was worried that she will all lonely so she promised her that she would always visit her.Ellie went through her contact and saw Crystal's name with a love emoji close to it. She smiled and clicked on it. It started ringing. She placed the phone close to her ear.“Hey, babe.” Ellie greeted with a glint of mischief in her eyes.“Who is this speaking?” Crystal said, not knowing who it was since it was an unknown number. Ellie smirked.“And who do you think is speaking?” She teased.Cr
Chapter 93[Two Bleeding Hearts]Ellie sat down, wondering if she should go or not. Jayson had sent Elsa the text earlier on for her to come and meet him. She looked at the clock that was ticking on the wall. It was already 6:30 PM.I should go since Elsa is not around. She thought.She stood up and wore the clothes she had picked specifically and wore a marching heels to it. It was a simple green gown and a pair of gold shoes. She hurriedly applied little make up to her face and added the lip gloss on her lips.She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction. She stepped out of her room and walked down the stairs.“Ellie, where are you off to?” She heard Mercy, her younger sister. She turned towards her. She smiled and pinched her cheeks.“I will be meeting with someone. Will be back soon.” Ellie stated and gave a peck on her forehead.“Please, get me ice cream on your way.” Mercy begged with a pout. Ellie chuckled.“Sure.” She answered and waved at their two maids b
Chapter 94[Getting Engaged]“Let me just hold you like this for a while.” He sobbed out quietly. They held each other close.Ellie kept thinking about what might have happened to him. To a cheerful boy like him. She held him tightly and sniffed in his cologne.**Elsa's car drove straight into the house. She wasted no time in coming down. She carried her bag and walked briskly into house.“Ellie.” Mercy called put happily thinking she was the one. Elsa stopped and looked back but did not see Ellie. She raised her eyebrows and realized that she was referring to her. She smiled and towards her. She crouched down and said. “Little sister, seems like you are finding it hard to recognize your sisters.” She teased. Then it dawned on Mercy that it was not Ellie. She smiled nervously and moved back a bit. “I am sorry.” She apologized.“It's nothing. Now where's dad and mom?” Elsa asked as she looked around.“They are yet to be back.” Mercy answered.“Cassie.” Elsa called out. Cassie came out
Chapter 95[Asking Her Out]Jake and Ellie released from the hug and stared into each other’s eyes. She saw how his eyes were red rimmed. He must have been crying before he came.“What got a guy like you crying?” She asked.He stared up at the sky. “I can't believe I am an orphan despite the fact that my parents are still alive.” He spoke up. She narrowed her eyes on him, not getting what he said.He looked at her and smiled grimly, knowing she does not understand what he said.“You know the first time we bumped into each other at the corridor the first time we met. I had this feeling that I had met you somewhere but I could not remember. But now I remember, you were the girl I had hit on particular day while I was driving fast on the road. Despite, people telling you to get me arrested, you insisted that I go scot free. You said it was not a major hit and that you were fine.” He narrated to her and she recalled the incident also. She did not clearly see his face that day.He cleared
Chapter 96[He shattered it all]“You know… I met him first. I met him…” She hiccupped. He patted her shoulders.“Calm down. I am here.” He whispered. They were both hurting.She soon released from the hug and sniffed in. She dabbed the tears off.“I first met him that day. He was in a fatal accident. I had to give him my blood at the hospital. Yet, he did not recognize me. I felt heartbroken. I gave him sometime thinking he would remember me but I was wrong.” She said and released a deep breath.“Accident?” Jake asked with an arched eyebrow. She nodded positively.“I don't remember Jayson getting into an accident like that.” He said. She looked up to him and stopped walking.“W-what do you mean by that?” She asked.“Jayson and I have together for so long to know he has not been involved in any major accident.” Jake explained. Confusion crossed her face as she heard this.“B-But I saw him. It was him. He had that oceanic blue eyes.” She said with her hands slowly shaking. She was clea
