Elvira’s POVI smiled when I didn’t see any message on my phone. It must be good news.I sang joyfully as I served breakfast for everyone that I had woken up early to prepare. “Is it poisoned?” Lesley asked as she stared at the food on her plate. “Even if I planned to poison you, I wouldn’t serve you openly,” I responded with a joyful smile on my face. “Are you okay?” Dad asked, “I know you and Calix are going through a rough path but you don’t have to try too hard to be happy around us.” I smiled at Father, “That’s not the case; I’m perfectly fine.” Ace stared at me with suspicious eyes, “Is Karisa okay?” I dropped the serving spoon on the plate, “Why are you asking me that?” “I don’t want my sisters to fight anymore,” Ace responded, “I can’t help but think you are up to something.” I took a deep breath, “The morning news will begin soon; I should go watch it.” “The morning news?” Grandma asked, “Since when did she start watching the news?” Lesley looked at me with horror;

Elvira’s POV My eyes fell on Ace waiting for him to say he was joking but he repeated the same thing. Why? Just why did Calix send a lawyer to me?“Do you want to go down to meet him or should I send him away?” Ace asked, his eyes filled with concern for me. I shook my head, I gripped the edge of the bed and managed to stand up, “I will go see what he wants.” Ace stood up from the bed, “If you need anything I am here,” Ace stared at me for a few seconds before asking, “Are you sure you are good?” “Yeah,” I said and walked out of the room. Calix’s lawyer was sitting on the couch in the living room, his eyes glued to the television and he tapped his feet on the floor. “Why did he send you here?” I said as I took my seat. The lawyer’s eyes focused on me, “He wanted me to deal with important paperwork.” Calix and my marriage was invalid so what was he talking about? “Important paperwork?” “Yes,” The lawyer said as he opened his bag and brought out some documents, “Marriage docum

Elvira’s POV The last few weeks have been nothing but peaceful for me. I didn’t care what the others were doing but I was patiently waiting for today. Ace and Father haven’t spoken to me. I haven’t seen Akira, I purposely didn’t want her to see her mother like that and Calix, I have been seeing him in court but we never said anything to each other. Today was the final court hearing of Mrs Chloe Jordan’s case. She sat in the accused seat with a lawyer by her side. Leah and Karisa were behind her, perhaps giving her hope. Calix was seated in front with Ciera and his grandparents while I was seated behind him with Grandma. Chloe locked eyes with me as her sentence was being given, “Mrs Chloe Jordan, having been found guilty of the murder of Mrs Elenor Kyrell, embezzlement, fraud, bribery, and other serious crimes, this court finds that your actions warrant the severest punishment permitted by law.” Our breaths were held waiting for the judge to make the final statement while Mrs Ky

Elvira’s POV Darkness suddenly filled the room and all I could hear was Leah's sobbing voice. My chest tightened so much that I could barely breathe. What…. What have I done?I wanted to speak to Leah but I found it difficult to open my mouth. “She…. She was transported to the cell….. she…. She hanged herself in the bathroom,” Leah's tears destroyed something inside me, “They found her on time but I don’t understand what they are saying.” “Leah…. I…. Leah I….” My throat choked when I didn’t have anything to say. “I’m sorry, I tried to call Calix but his line wasn’t going, I called Karisa but she declined the call and I really wanted someone to be here by my side,” Leah sobbed louder, “I’m sorry if I shouldn’t have called you.” Before I could find my voice, the call ended. With blurry eyes, I dialed Leah’s number, “Which…. Which hospital?” “City….. city hospital,” Leah cried but there was relief in her voice. “I will be there,” I said and ended the call. I locked all the file
