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. “That’s disgusting, why didn’t you vomit in your room? Why the kitchen sink?” Disgust danced in Leah’s tone. I rinsed the vomit from around the sink, dabbed a disposable napkin over my face, turned to her, and weakly said, “Can’t you tell mother to send someone? I’m not….” “I will deliver your message to her,” Leah said, cutting me off with a small smirk at the corner of her lip and I knew that didn’t mean well. I relaxed my body on the counter to try to regain my strength after Leah left the kitchen. Tomorrow was my father-in-law's birthday and I was assigned to plan it. “Do you now refuse my order?” My mother-in-law said furiously as she barged into the kitchen. “That’s not the case,

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 and followed behind Karisa. The receptionist refused to let me through, they said it was orders from above but after so much pleading, the manager of the hotel gave me a spare key card. “Whatever you are looking for is in that room,” She said gently and walked away. I took the elevator, placed the keycard in the elevator and it took me straight to the VIP room. This place was only meant for the Jordan family. I was following Karisa, so why was I given this key card? I was scared to open the door, I didn’t know what to expect, and I didn’t know what I would see or what I would hear. I wanted to turn away but I wanted to save my marriage. I wanted to clear my doubts, so I placed the key

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 like a butler. My mind was on how my daughter was doing and how she ate nuts. I excused myself from the entrance, I needed to check my daughter’s room to figure out who gave her the cupcakes. “Have you lost it?” I stopped right in front of the studies when I heard Casper yell at someone. I wanted to ignore it but I saw Karisa inside the room as the door was slightly open. I scoffed with disgust. Now, they aren’t even hiding. “I did it for us!” Karisa yelled back and I couldn’t help but be curious. “Did I ask you to kill my child! You freaking knew she was allergic to nuts and you purposely fed them to her!” Casper yelled, “Now she is lying in the hospital.” My ear rang. I must b

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, “Call the doctor,” I heard an unfamiliar voice speak, and that only made me more scared. Who was she? I have never heard this voice before. I managed to force my eyes open to see that I was in an unfamiliar room. The room was lit up but was painted in beige; the room lacked color, and it was simple. There was medical equipment in the room and the water droplets I heard earlier were the drip attached to my hand. The familiar face of the manager I had met at the hotel was here and that made me even more anxious. Did Casper save me? Or did Karisa save me? Why was the hotel manager standing next to me? The doctor came into the room, he did some examinations on me, and spoke to the manage

Elvira’s POV I watched as he turned on the TV, “The world mourns as the eldest daughter-in-law of the president was found dead and burnt in her car,” A newscaster announced following the scene of the accident. I watched the scene in horror— how did I survive that?—then the man holding a cigarette flashed through my mind, “Did.. did….. that… man save me?” “The truck driver?” The man scoffed, “You don’t get it yet? Do you really think it was an accident?” Come to think of it, he did hit me on purpose because there was no way he didn’t see my car, and I can’t remember him helping me; he just stood there with the cigarette and was making a phone call. The more I watched the news the more my heart shattered. The family I grew up with had accused me of embezzlement of company funds, fraudulent activity in the company, tax evasion, insider trading, data violations and bribery, and corruption. “My late wife was mentally unstable,” Casper cried, and I numbly watched, “She is the re

Elvira’s POV Three years later I can’t even say my life is worth it anymore. For the past three years, all I have been doing is hide-and-seek. I stood in front of the hospital ward, where my daughter has been for three years. She has been unconscious since that day and I couldn’t even do anything to help her. I came from time to time to see her, but I was always fully covered, with caps, glasses, a face mask, and sometimes a nurse's uniform, so no one would recognize me. “It’s time to leave, her family will soon be here,” The nurse who I had paid to work in the hospital and be by my daughter’s side said with a tray of injections in her hand. “Is there any improvement?” My voice was barely audible. “She moved her finger the night I played the audio you sent,” The nurse said and a small smile appeared at the corner of my lip.I sometimes send an audio of me singing her favorite lullaby so it could help her wake up soon. “Do we really need to see the child?” I heard the voice I h

Elvira’s POV I have waited three years for this day and it was finally happening. Everything has been going on smoothly. Leah was as dull as I said; she sold her shares in a heartbeat, but we haven’t gotten access to the house. Calix said to be patient.I was the highest shareholder at Casper’s company.The Jordon’s family must be happy celebrating their new launch not knowing a storm was coming into their lives. I stood in front of the mirror, and I smiled when I couldn’t recognize myself. For ten years, I was made to dress basic as a full-time housewife. My ex-mother-in-law would say nails are dangerous around my kids, she would say I didn’t need any jewelry, I was the wife yet treated like a servant, but today I was wearing the nails and expensive jewelry. My once black hair was dyed into golden blonde, my nails were done into a blue and pink French tip, and I wore a backless emerald-colored gown with silver shoes to match. Emerald? It was once my favorite color but I can’t s

Elvira’s POV The internet was going crazy about the reveal, I couldn’t help but smile as I read through some tweets, “Mr Calix is fine! Someone get that man into modeling, Why has he been hiding? I thought he was some ogre but turns out he is a Prince Charming,His wife compliments him, I love it when two hot people marry each other,The late Jordon’s wife looks exactly like Calix's wife, How can two people look and sound alike? Something fishy is going on, Calix looked extremely familiar. I have seen him somewhere, but can’t place my finger.” Just like we expected, people were trying to look for anything about us and were already digging out old videos of the late Mrs Elvira Jordon. I dropped the tablet when I heard Becky’s voice, “The interviewers are here to see you.” Calix picked the people he wanted to work with while I picked the Kyrell art and gallery as our meeting point.“Nice meeting you, Mrs Kyrell,” A female reporter said as she stretched her hand for a handshak

Elvira’s POVI stood in front of the mirror admiring myself. Today the office I had always worked for endlessly but was never recognized, I was finally going to take it from them. Becky knocked on the door then asked, “Are you ready?” “Did you gather for a shareholders' meeting?” I questioned as I sprayed my perfume. “Mr Calix already did that. They are currently in the shareholder meeting, and he said to inform you that all you need to do is go to the CEO's office and change the nameplate,” Becky responded, and a smile made its way to my face. The day I have been waiting for is finally here. I hurriedly picked up my bag from the bed, “Let’s go,” I said impatiently. I bet they were still sleeping and had no idea of the meeting, can’t wait to see the horror on their face. “Did you pack the things we would be needing?” I asked Becky and she nodded her head. “I already packed everything, we will move everything to your new office, Mr Calix said he would get the house to you in the

Elvira’s POVWhat nonsense was Ace spewing? How can I be his only family when we are not even related by blood? “I want you to look into Ace, help me find out what type of drugs he is on,” I said when we got into the car. He has definitely lost a screw. “I will have my team access the drive while you go into the office,” Becky said then started the car and drove off. We arrived at the office just in time for work, and the entrance was busy with people going in and out. I came down from the car with a smile on my face. Finally, Jordan’s Electronics is mine. I happily walked to Casper’s office while the staff greeted, whispers flew from all sides. The hallway brought back a lot of memories, both the good and bad memories.I gently opened the door to see Calix sitting on the chair, “What are you doing here?” I gently asked as I entered the office. “I thought I would greet the new CEO before anyone does,” Calix said, his voice calm, yet his face was emotionless, or rather, I would sa
