Elvira’s POV I wasn’t surprised by one part of the report but I was shocked by the rest. What is going on? “We got them at different hospitals?” Becky answered, “We got our samples at different times.” Ace sighed as he sat on the bed, “Becky is right,” Ace’s voice broke, “She…. She….” My heart broke as I watched Ace cry his heart out. I haven’t even had time to process my life but I couldn’t ignore how Ace was feeling. I also understand how one’s life can change in a minute. I wiped the tears from his eyes, “It should matter, you should be happy that you have two sisters; nothing else should matter.” The result came as a shock to both Ace and me. I only redid the test to confirm the first report Ace gave to me but now it was different. A secret that was never supposed to be out was out. How will Ace see Mother now? Ace and I share the same father which was crazy. How was that possible? I’m from an orphanage and Ace was born to father and mother. That could only mean Fat

Elvira’s POV Over the past few weeks, Calix has been nothing but a sweetheart. Cooking, helping me bathe, taking care of Akira even though her useless father was in the house with us. My enemies have been on my nerves but I have ignored them the entire time. I especially avoided Karisa because of Ace and Ace hasn’t been to the house since that day. I tried calling but he wasn’t taking my calls. “Are you still worried about Ace?” Calix questioned when he saw me staring at my phone. I nodded my head while I locked eyes with him through the mirror, “I’m scared especially since he hasn’t clocked in for work yet.” “I told you that he is fine,” Calix said, “He just took a break from work and he is currently traveling to clear his mind.” “I…..” “Don’t be scared that he would hurt himself, I have someone watching his every move,” Calix stood up, he gently caressed my shoulder, “You should take your mind off Ace and go and see your parents.” Now I was better, I wanted to go and

Elvira’s POV I entered the living room, even though Mom’s guest was there. I greeted them with a smile and they all welcomed me inside while Mother glared at me furiously. “You have been on the news lately,” One of her friends said, “I’m glad you survived that accident three years ago.” “I’m glad I survived too,” I said with a smile. “Otherwise, the wrong narrative would have been out there.” “I wonder how you felt when you saw your younger sister get married to your ex-husband,” another friend added. I could read through their fake sympathies. A small smirk widened, “Maybe it was a blessing in disguise, I mean I’m happily married to Mr Calix Kyrell, I believe you know who that is.” One of the ladies drew closer, “I have been trying to set up a meeting with you.” “Why?” I pretended to be clueless. “I wanted a meeting with Kyrell Beauty, and I was told to have the meeting with his wife,” The lady said, “It’s so difficult to meet you.” “Mrs Halethor, why didn’t you tell

Elvira’s POV What was I supposed to do now? Mother never disclosed Grandma’s address to any of us but she suddenly did. Was she telling the truth or was she lying? But the DNA? Then again if she was lying she wouldn’t give me Grandma’s address. Oh almighty, what new test is this? “Your grandma can tell you,” Mother’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts, “Why do you think I gave you her address? I want you to see the truth for yourself.” “I don’t trust you, you can be spewing nonsense,” I tried to appear confident even though I wasn’t at this point. “That’s why I gave you that address, I want to suffer being the daughter of the other woman to your beloved grandma,” Mother's face turned straight, “Don’t you ever think you can threaten me because I will make sure you never see the most precious thing you have.” I stood up to meet her eyes, “Are you threatening me?” “No,” She responded, “I’m just letting you know that if you ever threaten me again, I would destroy your life.”

Elvira’s POV This was the first time in my life I was ever near the elderly home where my grandmother lived, and it made me wonder why she chose an elderly home. Grandma never lets us visit her, rather she visits us. The place wasn’t bad, the outside alone was warm and cozy, it had a garden and there were a lot of people walking around. Grandma is rich so why didn’t she get a house, she can pay people to look after her so why? Was she really guilty like Mother said? Was that the reason she stayed away? I took a deep breath, sucked in every emotion, and came down from the car. I walked to the front desk, told them who I wanted to see, and wrote down my details. “We can’t give you the room number,” one of the caretakers suddenly said and my eyes furrowed. “Is there an issue?” I asked. The lady politely said, “I will have Mrs Halethor come out and take you to her room.” That was surprising, “Why? Is there an issue?” “It’s just suspicious,” The nurse responded

Elvira’s POV Grandma stared at me for a few seconds with parted lips. She looked like she didn’t believe what I had said so I asked the question again. “How… how did you get such information?” Grandma asked and from her tone alone, I could confirm that she didn’t know of this. I had expected this reaction from what I said earlier but it felt like she already knew so this could only mean I was being deceived. “Ace did the DNA test to confirm everything,” I responded. Grandma's eyes filled with worry as she asked, “Is Justice aware of this?” I shook my head, “I don’t know.” Grandma hit her chest as she cried. I didn’t understand why she was crying but I could tell she was in pain. I wanted to calm her down but I wanted her to also let go of the pain in her heart so I stood there and watched her cry even though it broke my heart. “I’m sorry,” Grandma said repeatedly. “What Lesley said, was it really the truth? Are you protecting someone? Is there something you are prot

Elvira’s POV Lesley was pure evil, she destroyed a family because she wanted to be part of them and her daughter is walking down that same path. “Elvira I…..” “I can see guilt in your eyes, Granny, Granny.” I placed my hand on hers. “You should keep your promise to the dead and protect the living as the eldest in our family.” Lesley I will make you pay for making my mom’s life miserable, I have lost the little respect I had for you. “Elvira, don’t involve yourself in this, I will handle it myself,” Grandma stood up, “Let’s pack my bags, it’s time to return home.” “I will sign the papers and take you to my place,” I said as I stood up from the bed. Granny held my hands, “No,” She shook her head, her eyes void of emotion yet filled with emotion, “I don’t want to live at your house, I want to live in my house, I want to live in the home my husband and I once lived in.” I wanted to ask if she was sure, I feared for her safety but no. I should give her the chance to live her

Elvira’s POV I knew I was going to destroy all the evil around me for my child to be happy and I would be at the front leading these devils. “Mother, I will handle business with you later but first I want to talk to Elvira,” Lesley stood before me, leaving a little space between us, “You are just a child and you want to attack me, can you handle what I will do?” I looked straight into her eyes and asked, “What have you done that I can’t handle?” “I have nothing to lose but you have a lot to lose, are you really going to lay your husband and daughter out there?” Lesley asked but I didn’t shake one bit. “You also have a husband and you have children,” I responded. I wouldn’t let her threat get to me. “Elvira, you wouldn’t hurt your brother and father, you wouldn’t hurt the company, Karisa can deal with you, she has been doing it since and me?” Lesley laughed, “I have nothing to lose.” I wasn’t confident anymore, she was right, I wouldn’t hurt innocent people but she would

Elvira’s POV I stared at Akira and Calix's sleeping figures. Akira slept peacefully between Calix and me, her tiny arms wrapped around Calix's hands. “You can take a picture of the moment,” Calix said with his eyes still closed. My voice was low and calm as I asked, “When did you wake up?” Calix stretched his hand and picked up his phone from the nightstand. “Way before you woke up,” Calix said, “I was watching my wife and daughter sleep peacefully.” Calix’s words made me smile then he immediately took a picture of the moment. He showed me the picture and said, “I told you it would last longer.” Last night made me fall in love with Calix all over again. He held me for minutes by the door without complaining, he helped me prepare my bath and made dinner for me, “Thank you for last night.” “Why are you thanking me?” Calix furrowed his brow, “I was only doing my duty as your husband.” I nodded my head, I held his hand and planted a kiss, “Thank you.” “I should prepare

Elvira’s POV “Nuts?” I didn’t understand what he meant. I stood up and turned on the light. Calix was as red as a tomato, his eyes were red and it felt like they were about to pop out. The veins on his neck and head became visible. My eyes widened as I ran back to him. Calix's lips were swollen and he was struggling to breathe, “Nuts? What…. What… Do you mean nuts?” That didn’t make any sense, Calix made the pie yesterday, both he and Akira ate the pie and nothing happened to them so what’s going on? And nuts are forbidden in this house. I picked up the pie, put it near my nose yet it didn’t have any smell of nuts. “I will go get your injection,” I ran to the nightstand, there was nothing there. I checked everywhere in our room but there wasn't a single injection. “Babe, you have to come downstairs, I will check Akira’s room and the first aid room,” I helped him to the living room. I wanted to keep him in everyone’s sight. I screamed out to the workers but they didn’t
