“So you guys are okay with the pay?” Claire asked them as they stood before the twins' house. They had gone out in the morning to see the man that would hire them. They agreed on a relatable amount of money. “Yeah, we are and besides, it is a day job. The pay is quite good.” Ellie said with a tight smile. Elsa nodded as she listened to them. “No problem then.” Claire said.“See you later.” Elsa waved at her. Claire waved back and walked off to her own apartment.They looked at their house and walked towards the door. Elsa knocked on the door and their granny came to open the door, knowing fully well that it could not be any one other than them. “You could not ask who was at the door.” Ellie said as they walked into the living room. “Who else other than you would knock at the door?” Rachael asked. “One of the people you are owing.” Elsa teased. Rachael chuckled and shook her head at them.“So how did it go?” She asked them.“Fine. We agreed on the pay and after we are done, we
Music roamed everywhere, pink and white colored balloons, banners of the celebrant were put up everywhere; obviously the code of dress was pink and white. The bulbs shone lightly, beautifying the place even more and making it glow showing that it was quite dark in the night. Wealthy and influential people dressed in flashy and elegant attire with expensive jewelries and their gifts for the celebrant were standing all around smiling in greeting to one other. Some other people were just arriving the venue in their luxurious cars. The place seems so lively and enjoyable. Ellie made sure to peep at some of the clothes, keeping them in her brain that when she is buoyant enough, she will get something like it. But she knew deep down that it was almost impossible. She wished she was just in anyway related to those that had come to attend the party.The waiters were already doing their jobs. Welcoming the people and also coordinating them. Some stood far away from the venue, close to the plac
Elsa pushed the door open and Ellie trailed behind her as they entered the house. “It is quite dark in here.” Ellie whispered as she strained her eyes to see in the dark.“Just hold onto me.” Elsa said in return and they tiptoed, making sure they don't hit their legs against something. Thankfully the door was slightly opened so there was a ray of light piercing through. Elsa saw this and a glint of hope lit up in her. “There is the door over there.” She said and pointed towards it. They practically ran towards it and pushed the door open fully then they walked out. As they were busy taking in how decorated the house was, they suddenly heard a voice crying out in distress. This caught their attention and they looked around. They saw the same two people that had snuck in. “Drop me.” The young girl which was the celebrant cried out as she hit the man continuously who was carrying her over his shoulder.Ellie gasped. “Oh my goodness,” Elsa shouted and they ran after them.“Shit, someon
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
