MasukElvira’s POVI couldn’t understand Calix, he was supposed to be trying to prove himself innocent but he was working and relaxing while I was losing my mind. He kept allowing the police and prosecutors to take footage of the scene in the penthouse and investigate the hotel staff and he hasn’t even seen the footage himself. “How long do you plan on allowing this to go on?” I questioned the moment I entered his room without knocking. Calix was sitting on his bed and watching TV, his legs were crossed on the table. Calix dropped the glass of soft drink on the table, “What?” I took a deep breath, sat on the bed next to him then said, “You are allowing them to take evidence without you even knowing what the evidence contains.” “I don’t care,” Calix muted the TV, “If there is footage evidence or a witness then it will be submitted, there is nothing I can do about it.” “But you need to see the evidence so you will know your next step,” I was already feeling frustrated, “Why are you acti
Elvira’s POVI blinked to be sure I heard well and when Ace didn’t say anything then I guess I heard well, “What kind of question is that?” “I know I don’t mean anything to you to ask that kind of question but I just wanted to know how much you trust your husband,” Ace said, “I know you both are married but the trust you have for him will determine how you can see the truth.” I furrowed my eyebrows, “Meaning?” Ace let out a breath and said, “If you don’t trust your husband then you will always work with evidence given to you but if you trust him and know he isn’t capable of that then just maybe you will think outside the box.” I chuckled lightly, “This is your sister’s family we are talking about.” “That’s the reason why I’m telling you,” Ace gently held my hand, “I told you earlier, your biggest crime is having the same face as my late sister. You will always have to protect yourself else you will end up like her.” I gently removed my hand, “Thank you.” A small smile made its
Elvira’s POVWas nothing going right? Was this part of the game plan, or was this Calix's nature? Becky’s question makes me think it’s a game plan but Leah isn’t a good liar. Leah never lies with a straight face. “Dr Ace is here,” One of the workers in the house informed me when I entered the compound. Why was he here? “Fancy seeing you here,” I said when I saw him, “I don’t think we have an appointment.” Ace nodded. “I saw the news and I thought to check in on you.” “I’m fine, you can go back,” Ace said as I walked past him. Ace grabbed my wrist, “Please let me check on you.” “I…..” “You must have cried a lot,” Ace said, concern was written all over his face. The strong facade I was trying to put on was slowly crumbling. I gently freed my hand, “I should freshen up.” “It’s okay to cry, it’s okay to scream your lungs out,” Ace said, “Then you can sit and think about everything.” “What’s there to think about?” I was trying to keep my calm. “After the death of my sister, I c
Elvira’s POV I was numb for a moment, did Leah become a good liar or was she speaking the truth? Did Calix really do that? I know it’s Karisa. I grabbed Leah’s hand, “It’s a lie… tell me you are lying!” Leah pushed me away, “I’m not lying… he did it? Why would I lie when I know my job will be taken from me! You even called the cops yourself!” “I didn’t call anyone!” I yelled back at the verge of tears, “Just tell me what happened!” Leah put her hands covering her ears, she closed her eyes and repeatedly yelled, “I don’t know anything! I can’t remember anything!” “What do you mean you don’t know?!” I questioned. “I really don’t know anything,” Leah cried out loud. I watched with horror. Did I make a mistake for the second time? Did Calix really do such a thing? The police and everyone entered the room, “What did you do to my daughter?” Chloe yelled at me. Before I could respond, Chloe slapped me across the face and I stood there in shock, “Don’t you dare try to manipu
Elvira’s POV My heart sank before I could even understand what was going on. What kind of news was this? What do they mean Calix forced himself on Leah? What exactly was going on? “What….. What is this headline?” I asked the employee and she shook her head. “I saw Mr Casper sleeping in the car then he asked me to check up on you, he said he hasn't heard anything from you since last night so I came here and saw you sleeping,” The employee responded. I was disoriented, I picked up my bag and phone, “I need to go.” “Reporters are outside waiting for you,” the employee said, concern written all over her face. “I have to leave,” I said to her, “Gather the PR team, when I give the signal they will get to work,” I said and left the office. “Mrs Kyrell is here!” One of the reporters yelled and in a swift second the reporters crowded me. I didn’t know there were many outside. The flash from the camera blinded my eyes, “Mrs Kyrell are you aware of the severity of this case?Has this eve
Elvira’s POV “What? What did you say?” I asked Becky with surprise. “The lady who takes care of the house cleaning fell down the stairs and was rushed to the hospital,” Becky repeated what she said, “She won’t be able to work for some time.” What the heck? How did this happen? “Who else is aware of this?” “Karisa, she helped take her to the hospital,” Becky responded. I immediately knew this was Karisa’s doing, that’s why she made me promise to give her a space the moment it was vacant. “Do you think it’s time to allow Mrs Karisa into this place?” Becky suddenly asked and I stared at her. “Why?” I furrowed my eyebrows. “From what I can see, she planned on coming into this house on her own and you have made everything simple for her,” Becky said, “Right now if she is trying to come into this house it means she has a reason and I’m asking if you have a plan?” I understood Becky, “Let her come in, appoint her to the kitchen, I want to know what she is up to and I want to make he
Elvira’s POV The sound of a machine beeping rang in my ears; I could hear water dripping, and no one's presence was felt. I tried to open my eyes but I felt intense pain in my eyelids. I tried to move but the pain was worse. I didn’t know where I was or who was around. I tried my best to move, “
Elvira’s POV My feet hurt; the heels I wore made my toes bleed. I was pregnant, yet I was made to wear this tight gown. A gown I could barely breathe in. They said my so-called husband and I were supposed to welcome the guest, but I was the only one standing by the entrance, welcoming the guest
Elvira’s POV The cab driver stopped in front of the place Karisa drove into and it was my Father-in-law’s hotel. That was weird. If she wanted to meet her boyfriend at the hotel, then she would have used our Father’s hotel. I paid the driver and came down from the car under the pouring rainfall
Elvira’s POV “You, Mother, said to bring her detox juice to the living room,” my foul-mouthed sister-in-law, Leah, said from behind me. I gripped the edge of the sink, breathing slowly, the bitter taste lingered long after I rinsed my mouth. My first pregnancy wasn’t as exhausting as this. “Tha
