Elvira’s POV The courtroom erupted into a place of noise. Keypads clicking, reporters writing this new revelation and my eyes fell on my suspect Karisa. She even seemed surprised but her eyes held curiosity that I couldn’t explain. That’s a new revelation, I lightly pinched Becky to get her attention, “How come I didn’t know about Calix’s allergy?” “You know,” Becky whispered while her eyes were focused on Leah, “When you wanted to make dinner for Mr Calix, I informed you about the use of nuts in the house.” “I thought he didn’t just like it,” I could swear Becky didn’t say much about it that day. “Really? I told your brother about his medical history, I know I told him it was confidential but I’m surprised he didn’t tell you,” She glanced at me then turned her attention back to the court. “That…. That…. That’s a lie,” Leah yelled in tears, “He was eating nuts on that day, I know the smell, I even touched it.” “Your honor, here is the evidence regarding Mr Calix Kyrell's medica

Elvira’s POV When I got home, the door to Karisa’s house was open. Without thinking, I entered the house and everyone was in the living room. “Mrs Elvira, what are you…..” I slapped Karisa across the face before she could finish asking me her dumb question.“Mrs Elvira!” Casper yelled as he ran to hold his wife, “Can’t you see she is pregnant?” I almost laughed in their faces. I was pregnant too yet I was pushed downstairs, I was pregnant too yet I was murdered, “A slap won’t kill her or harm her child, it would only reset her brain.” “This may be your house but you do not have the right to slap my wife,” Casper said in defense of Karisa and I couldn’t even care. “What was that for?” Karisa yelled angrily at me with her hand still covering the place I had slapped her. “How dare you ask that question?” I yelled furiously, “Don’t you know what you did?” Karisa took a step away from her husband and stood eye level with me, “No, I do not know so please kindly refresh my memory.” “

Elvira’s POV “Huh?” I was still trying to process what was being said. “Mrs Kyrell, don’t you remember?” One of the engineers asked, “You gave us seven to keep for our personal experience and you had asked us to install the remaining three at the penthouse.” “You said people rarely go to the penthouse so it would be easy to test the camera without wondering what you might see,” Another engineer pointed out, refreshing my brain. The secret spy camera. The ones we were testing, how could I have forgotten something as important as that? “I’m sorry,” I apologize, “It completely skipped my mind, you know I have had a lot to deal with in the past few weeks.” “We understand,” One of the employees responded. “I will give you the key to the penthouse so you can pick them up and check if they are in perfect condition,” I said, “Then we can finally create a launch date for the product.” “So next on our agenda, is the appliance the camera will be a perfect fit for,” Another employee said,

Elvira’s POV I paused while watching on the laptop and went to Becky’s laptop. I checked the date and time on the laptop I had with me and told them to fast-forward it to the same time on their own laptop. It was clear as daylight, I watched the footage from outside the penthouse after Leah entered with the food, a man who was wearing a hoodie entered, and a woman also entered but her face was covered.They entered with a key, how did they get the key to the penthouse? I had Karisa in mind but Karisa wasn’t this short. After a few minutes, the man and the woman walked out of the penthouse with Leah was who was unconscious then later on, Calix walked out leaning on the wall for support. “So that means they were all inside the house when everything happened,” I felt a bit of relief even tho I didn’t know what happened inside the house. I dropped the laptop containing the outside footage and went to the laptop with the living room footage. Calix was already unconscious in the living

Elvira’s POV I tossed and turned when I couldn’t sleep. I closed my eyes but it was obvious I was deceiving myself. I stood up to get my pills when the door opened and it was Calix standing by the door. “I told you it didn’t work that way,” He said as he entered the room and shut the door behind him. “Do you need something?” I questioned politely. Calix shook his head, “I think it works because we are comfortable with each other.” “Huh?” I think I was lost in what he was saying. Without another word, Calix climbed into the bed and pulled me back into it, “Let’s sleep.” We lay straight on the bed with our faces facing the ceiling and only our breaths could be heard in the room.“Maybe it’s because we are comfortable with each other,” Calix said, breaking the silence.“Yeah,” That was the only thing that came to my mind. I badly wanted to ask him about his relationship with Chloe but I had already promised I wouldn’t do it.“This can be our new sleeping arrangement,” Calix said a

Elvira’s POVThey say the courtroom is normally a battlefield, but today it was extremely quiet on both sides, especially when Calix’s lawyer presented the evidence. Chloe didn’t look scared at all; Leah was confused, and Karisa was furious because the blame was put on her, but most importantly, Calix was proven innocent in front of the world. I stood in the parking lot waiting for Karisa, I walked closer to her the moment I saw her and said, “You said you didn’t know anything.” Karisa clenched her fist, “I still stand by what I said.” “Your name was called in court,” I added. Who was everyone trying to protect? Calix didn’t call out Chloe for a reason I don’t know and everything was put on Karisa. Crazily Karisa was still protecting Chloe. “So…..” “You plotted against my husband, do you think I would let it be okay like that?” I questioned, “I will make sure you pay for it.” Karisa took a step closer to me, her eyes scanning my face, “You both look so much alike but you don’t

Elvira’s POV The past few weeks have been hectic. Becky and Calix have been looking for evidence so I could live a normal life. I felt guilty towards my baby who couldn’t come into this world because of the cruel people I had in my life. I’m a mother, my baby here needs me more so I hope my baby in heaven understands. A soft knock came on the door, “I wanted to let you know that Mrs Karisa checked in for work.” Over the past few weeks, Karisa didn’t come in for work, only Casper did. He gave excuses for her but I know that wasn’t true but what could I do? “Is she fine now?” I asked Becky. Becky nodded her head in response, “Dr Ace, Karisa, and Leah are waiting to see you.” “Me? Why?” That was a surprise, “What do they want?”“They didn’t say,” Becky said. I stood up from the bed, “I shall go see them then,” I wrapped my robe around my body, and walked away. Ace, Leah, and Karisa were sitting downstairs in the living room waiting for me, “To what do I owe this visit?” Leah w

Elvira’s POV Now I’m trapped. Which decision do I make? What do I risk? I can’t think, I need another brain to think right now. “You should leave,” I concluded. “I will get back to you on this topic.” “There is nothing to get back to,” Ace said, “You of all people know how Karisa can be so it’s better to make a decision right now.” “Why are you doing this?” I questioned. Ace took a deep breath, “Because you are my sister.” “Why now?” I guess this alone revealed who I was. It didn’t even matter anymore, it was going to come out soon. Ace gently held my shoulder, “I want to treat you better than before, especially now that I have the chance to do it and I also want to protect you from Karisa.” I shrugged my shoulders and his hand fell off my shoulders, “If you haven’t found this result then you would have given a fuck about my existence.” Ace shook his head, “I have always cared for you but I didn’t know how to show it especially with the feud between you and my

Elvira’s POVAce ran to Karisa the moment Calix removed the fuse, “Karisa! Karisa can you hear me?” Ace said as he checked if she was breathing. I was scared and in shock. I wanted to walk closer to Karisa but for some reason, my legs couldn’t carry me. “Elvira are you okay?” Ace asked while his eyes were on Karisa, and I didn’t have the answer for him, “Are you in pain or anything like that?” “Call an ambulance!” Ace added. I managed to stand up, and with heavy steps I walked to where the landline was. With shaking hands, I picked up the telephone to make a call but someone took the phone from my mind. “Why are you acting so slow!” Ace yelled as he dialed the ambulance. I couldn’t even talk, my legs gave out on me and I fell to the ground. My eyes fell on Karisa and I saw blood on the floor, “She…. She is bleeding.” Ace who was explaining Karisa's medical condition over the phone dropped the phone and ran to Karisa. “Let’s take her to the hospital,” Ace said as he carried he

Elvira’s POVI opened my eyes to see Calix staring at me with care, “You are awake,” He said as he helped me sit up. “What happened? I was speaking just now,” I pressed my hand against my head when a wave of pain began running through my head. “Don’t speak much,” Calix put a pillow behind me, “You couldn’t breathe so you passed out.” “Ohh….” “Don’t worry, all you need is rest and you will be fine,” Calix assured me. “I didn’t want to bring up the past but it was too much for me to bear, it felt like I was full,” I managed to say as the thought of Karisa wanting to kill me crossed my mind. “You don’t ever have to apologize for talking about your past,” Calix wrapped his hands around me, “You were hurt and I deeply understand,” he ran his hands through my hair, “You are carrying a burden, it must be too heavy, it’s time to let go of it and let me help you with it. I swear on my mother’s grave that I will protect you from her.” Having this kind of reassurance after a long time ma
