CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE
Ethan dragged me into a room and slammed the door behind. “What exactly is going on between you and Thomas?” His voice was so loud.“Ethan, you're shouting.”“What the hell is going on between you and Thomas, I ask for the last time Elah?”“Nothing, we were only having a simple conversation as work colleagues and a friend to my husband.” “Shut the crap, Elah!” He walked towards me, wrapped his hands around my neck, his face close to mine and said.“You like him right?” “Wh.. what?”“You want him, you have feelings for my friend!”I tried my best to take Ethan's grip off my neck when he suddenly pulled me towards him as soon as the front door was shut he began kissing me. His tongue flicked against mine, and his hands were buried in the softness of my hair"Let me make you feel like a woman. Thomas can't make you feel this way I bet you." Ethan said.As soon as I closed my eyes I felt he had many hands, which caressed my body at every turning point. And many lips, which went so rap

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO
The pressure in the room was palpable as Mr. Jakes fixed his criminating aspect to me."Woman! I have heard some accusations I never believed I'd heard about someone my son would marry." Ethan and I turned and gave him a shocking look."What? Mr. Jakes, I do not understand. What are you talking about?" He leaned forward and said, "Do not play innocent with me. I have heard rumors about you having an affair even before now." Ethan said defensively, "Dad, where did you hear that? That is ridiculous!" "Ridiculous? I know what I heard, Ethan. And I know why you married her." Pointing at Elah.More confused I asked,"Why? Why did I marry Ethan?" "Because you thought he did not know about your terrible history.""Dad, that is enough! You have no right to talk to Elah like that." He didn't seem to listen to Ethan but went ahead with his words. "Oh, I know her type. Just like her mother. She tried to seduce me so many times, but I never fell for her seductions." "Wh…wh

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE
The discussion was tense, feelings ran grandly, but she denied any involvement of her father in the death of my mother. She claimed her father knows nothing about my Mum and had no knowledge of his recent conditioning. Determined to uncover the secret, I excavated into the web of deception that Elah's father had woven. The disclosure about Elah's father had burned a storm within me. I could not comprehend the treason, and the need for vengeance fueled my conduct. I rushed out of the room, my mind clouded with wrathfulness and pain, and headed straight for the sitting room where I had left Elah and her butler, Nima. To my bafflement, she was nowhere to be set up. "Elah? Elah, where are you?" I turned to Nima, Elah's maid, who was hard, hoping she could give some information. "Nima, where's she? Where is that daughter of a murderer?" Nima who was nervous and all shaky answered, "N…no, sire. I have not seen her since you and your father left the room." "Damn it!

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR
~~ELAH POV~~In the room, Nima could not hold back her gashes at the sight of my torture. Crying, "Oh, Mrs Elah, I can not believe what they have done to you." "Nima, please. I need your help. I need to know what's up with my father." I said weakly. "Of course, Mrs Elah. I have missed you so much. I never believed I would see you in such a state." "Nima, listen precisely. Where is the secret phone I gave you?" “Here it is, Mrs Elah. I kept it safe, just as you instructed." "Thank you, Nima. I need to call my Dad right away. I need to know if he is okay." Nima dithered, a shadow of fear crossing her face. "Mrs Elah, I think calling him now would only make things worse for you." “What do you mean?” “I overheard Mr. Ethan give orders to his guards to keep an eye on you and all your calls, especially now you just came out from the dungeon, he knows you might want to speak with your Dad.”"Nima, please. I need to hear his voice. I need to know if he's okay." Nima

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE
Days passed, and I waited patiently for that moment. The pressure in the house was palpable, and I knew Ethan's reservations were growing. Nima, my maid, became my confidant, abetting in the discreet arrangements for my secret meeting with my father. Eventually, the night arrived. With Thomas by my side, we made our way to the undisclosed position where my father was hiding. The reunion was a blend of feelings – relief, joy, and a profound sense of gratefulness. Tearfully, "Dad, I was so spooked. I thought I had lost you." I said as I wrapped my arms around him tightly. "I am fine, Elah. We will face this together. But there is something I need to tell you, a secret that will explain everything." As we sat in the dimly lit room, my father began to unveil the layers of secretiveness that had shrouded our lives. The secret, painful and complex, surfaced, slipping light on the reasons behind his attack and the web of deception that had entangled us all. As my father rec

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX
The citation of Ethan's father added another layer of complexity to the entire situation. Ethan's eyes narrowed, confusion giving way to a growing fear. "What does he have to do with this?" Just then, Thomas surfaced from the thick leafage, a mimicking horselaugh escaping his lips. The sound echoed through the stillness, transferring shivers down my spine. "Surprised, Ethan? Your dear father and I have more in common than you think." The disclosure hung in the air, a heavy verity that denied Ethan's appreciation for Thomas' appearance. Ethan, caught between the disagreeing truth, attempted to make sense of the treason unfolding before him. "You and my father, what's this? What have you both been hiding from me?" Now pointing the gun from his father to Thomas, then back to his father again. "We have been playing a game, Ethan. A game of power, control, and heritage. You were always just a pawn." Thomas smirked.Ethan's anger reached a boiling point as he grappled w

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN
Anguish and rage collided within me, an internal tempest hanging to consume the remnants of my being. Ethan, ignorant of the impending storm, stood caught in the crossfire of our unraveling alliances. Ethan's voice pulsing, "You will not take her from me. I will not let you." “Then watch and see.” Ethan's internal struggle played out on his face as he lowered the gun. "Ethan, do you really think she cares about you? She's just a pawn too. A pawn you can use to regain control." He cracked the gun, the sound resonating through the clearing, and aimed it at Mr. Jakes and gave a shot, but to my horror, Ethan's gun was having no bullet in it. Fear struck Ethan like a blow, the color draining from his face. Ethan frenetically, "No, no. What is going on?" Ethan immediately turned and slapped his guard when Mr. Jakes and Thomas burst into loud laughter.The threatening sound of their laughter drowning out the despair that surrounds Ethan."You really think we would give you a

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT
His look, a mixture of pain and guilt, contended for understanding. But my heart, wounded and bruised, slowly finds compassion in his face. "I loved you with everything I had, and you threw it all down." “You what?” I was shocked.“Yes, but I couldn't let my guard down because of my Father and I didn't want you to see me as a loser who doesn't know what he wants.”“You treated me like trash, even in front of your workers and now you open your mouth and say you loved me?” “I s…..swear Leah, I do I…”“You know, you rich people are always like this, you definitely need my help now that's why you profess a fake love to me.”“Elah please, you need to help me.” The forest seemed to echo my frustration as I turned down from him, my eyes fixed on the breathless body of my father. But as I stood there, the weight of leaving Ethan behind, broken and fighting for his life, came unsupportable. Frustrated, I whispered to myself "No, I can not just leave him there. What kind of person

“Yes, but I don't know who those men are?” “Are you sure they are not the same people who killed him?” “I'm scared, I think they are.”“Just hold on right here, I'll be back.” “No sir, you can go out there. Those people are dangerous.” But before I could finish my statement, Mr. Joe opened the back of his truck and brought out a bunter kind of gun. “Stay here and wait for me, if things go wrong, this is the key to the truck, drive as fast as you can.”“Ok…okay sir.”His actions were a haunting specter, but his determination transcended my fear. The night air hung heavy with pressure as I squinched in the dark, watching Mr. Joe approach the two men standing beside my father's body. “Please God, don't let anything happen to Me. Joe.” I whispered some words of prayer.Fear gripped me in its icy claws, each twinkle resounding with the dread of what might unfold. Mr. Joe, conscious of my presence, walked towards the men with boldness. Calling out, "Hey, what’s going on over t

CHAPTER FORTY
We walked towards a huge tree situated outside the hospital and sat under the large chair."Child, what happened back there? Why was Ethan shot?" His words hung in the air, a delicate inquiry that carried the weight of genuine concern. I dithered, contemplating the decision to entrust him, doubtful of the consequences that might follow. Yet, there was so much concern in the way he spoke, a sincerity that sparked a hint of trust. "It's a long and complicated story, Mr. Joe." "I can see you are going through hell. However, you should know that you can trust me, If there is any way I can help. occasionally, letting out the burden makes it a bit lighter." His eyes, survived by time and the weight of his own struggles, bore into mine with a kind understanding. "His name is Ethan, and he is a billionaire, a celebrity that everyone knows. We were attacked. His father, Mr. Jakes, and a man named Thomas orchestrated it. They have some evil plans, but I do not know the extent of
