chapter 51: The letter

The morning started, Jeremy was moving with the slow energy of someone who was really tired from sleeping so soundly last night in a bed other than the hospital bed.He made a terrible coffee just like what Adrain did the other time,but Elera drank it and said it was good.Adrain had left for work that morning after kissing her goodbye, something he does lately these days.Elara stood at the kitchen counter holding the coffee cup feeling the warmth of that morning.Everything was finally setting in a good way, Jeremy was back healthy,Lydia had apologized feeling remorseful of what she had done,the baby is coming finally, Adrain had finally owned up to his feelings.Life wouldn't be any better for her.That was she thought,not until the envelope arrived by eleven.No stamp,no return address,just her name written on the envelope,slid through the door like other mails do.When she received it,she stood at the doorway for about a few seconds before opening it.Jeremy was in the shower,she

chapter 52: sweet poison

The cafe Lydia chose was small and quiet. Lydia was already there when she arrived,seated at a corner with her coat still on and a coffee in front of her.Her face was carefully composed and her eyes lit up immediately she sighted Elera across the room.She stood as Elara walked up to her.“Thank you for coming”. Elara said.“Of course” Lydia said simply like there had never been anything complicated between them.” Sit down,you look terrible”.She sat.A waiter came and she ordered tea that she didn't want,but just because she needed her hands to be busy. Lydia watched her from across the table with certain quietness.” Tell me” she finally said after about a few seconds of letting her settle in.Elara looked at her and thought again if it was right to tell Lydia what's bothering her.But the question was in her bag and the question was still loud,and she was alone with all of it sitting with Lydia who was ready to listen to her rant.She brought out the envelope from her bag and set

chapter 53: the space in-between

Adrain came back home early as promised.Elara heard his key at the door and acted indifferent unlike her. She tried keeping her face calm to avoid him noticing anything.The door finally opened and he took off his coat walking into the living room from the hallway.He came in through the door and something shifted in his expression,he immediately looked at her face trying to study her.” Hey” he said to her.“Hey” came the reply. Something he wasn't expecting. Which indicates something was definitely wrong.He came into the room and loosen his collar and sat at the armchair across from her.He looked at her and something moved through his eyes.Caution.He had known Elara for some time now to notice that something was definitely wrong from the way she's acting,it was just a matter of time before he could find out.She reached out to the pocket of her cloth and brought out the envelope, dripping it at the table in front of them.She watched his eyes drop to the envelope and then back t

chapter 54: Two sides of a wall

It was eleven forty.Elera was still lying quietly at the same position she had been ever since she entered the room.She didn't come down for dinner as she wasn't ready to face Adrian again ever since he indirectly admitted to the letter.Jeremy was also frustrated about how everything turned out,but was just waiting for the right time to console her.He had knocked at her door several times that evening for her to open up at least to have her dinner even though she doesn't want to talk to anyone yet.He took the food made by the chef to her door as instructed by Adrian who was watching a few feet away from her door.But she didn't respond to either of them.Her phone battery was dead, Jeremy tried calling her but it didn't go through.The only sound they would hear from the door, was the sound of her crying and sniffing.Jeremy heart shattered,but Adrain owns was worst.When she didn't open up for dinner,none of them ate their dinner that night. They all went to bed with an empty st

Running over her

Adrain's phone lit up with a message from Alex.He stared at the message for about thirty seconds before his phone rang.Caller's id:Alex.He picked up from the first rang.“Talk to me” he said with his voice a little too deep from his usual voice,deep and sounded tired from exhaustion.But Alex's voice was steady as ever as he spoke.’ We found a man dropping the envelope by the door by eleven forty.”“Face?“Mask” Alex said. “And he probably knew where the camera was because was trying to dodge it”.Adrain face was filled with anger,he thought that the person behind it knew him very well to be able to know where his cameras were.“Which meant it was planned”. His jaw tightened.“Yes” “Did you track him?“We followed the footage and discovered he parked somewhere far from you,the car plate number matched one man named Carlos Osei,forty three years,no criminal record and he lives about forty miles away from you”.Before Alex would finish what he was saying,Adrain was already getting u

when she didn't wake up

A few hours before the accident,Lydia had instructed a man to follow Elara back home from their meeting point.Giving him just one instruction.”make sure to report back to me every single thing that happens”.He had dropped his car a mile away from Adrain's place. Sneak in through the backyard, hiding himself from the guards.And he observed everything and reported back to Lydia as instructed.He had followed Elara when she went into the car and started driving.Lydia had instructed him to kill her and make it look like an accident,and that is exactly what he just did.“It's done” the man had said over the phone after successfully carrying out his plan.*****Alex was right about the weather not being friendly to drive at that moment.Adrain sat in the passenger’s seat watching the rain dropping down from the windscreen.He thought about Elara.Probably still inside crying wondering if he loved her.He wanted the rain to stop quickly so he could get done with this and go to her. So th

on life support

Lydia groaned on the flow while her driver went to get the car ready to take her to the hospital.She cried out in pain holding one side of her belly. The maids were confused on what to do, they suggested calling the police but she declined and told them no.The driver who took forever to getting the car finally came.He helped her up and carried her inside the car and quickly zoomed off.While the yard was left in awe from what they witnessed that morning.Whispering was just flying in the air.Adrain was still in his car in the compound when they left.After he walked out of the house,he stayed in the driver's seat,his head bent on the steering without turning on the ignition or raising his head.He stayed there regretting leaving Elara in the dark about his past which connected to her,and some part of him regret harming Lydia's baby.He knew the mom deserved to die but the baby was purely innocent and doesn't deserve a mom like that.He scratched the back of his head and let out a

fighting for her life

The maternity ward was two floors above Elara's room.She had been rushed to the hospital.She didn't expect what had just happened to her at all,even though she knew that Adrian was no ordinary man,she didn't expect him to do what he did to her even on her condition.The doctor that attended to Lydia was very precise,he didn't try to cover up anything rather he just told her in plain language that the push had triggered something they called placental abruption which doesn't look good coupled with the initial complications she already had and had refused to go for an operation.The doctor had said they would need to monitor her since the baby is under stress.“Will my baby survive? She asked with fear in her eyes.“We are fighting for that outcome but currently you need to be monitored and try to stay calm please stressing yourself will result in stressing the baby”.Lydia looked at the ceiling and then to the machine connected to her. She had tried for the past few months to try not

who are you

The beeping of the machine echoed through the room and Adrain didn't know when he slept off.His forehead still rested on Elara's hospital bed,and his hands wrapped around hers.Adrain had stayed by her side throughout the night.When morning came nothing changed except for the fact that Elara's finger twitched.At first it was so little but then it twitched again,better this time that it woke Adrian up from sleep.His eyelids fluttered open, at first he was Abit out of it before his eyes went to the hands beneath him.He felt his heart stop.“.... Elara”Another tiny movement,this time he became really sure that her finger moved.“Doctor”His voice echoed through the hallway,and a few seconds later, a doctor rushed into the room with two nurses.“Please step aside Mr. Cake”“But…”“Please….”Adrain looked at Elara one last time before slowly releasing her hand and walking out of the room.The door closed behind him.Jeremy, who had been sleeping outside in the waiting room sleeping,w

strange at heart

The room was silent which became suffocating for Adrain.Adrain froze,his hands still suspended in the air while the words echoed in her ear.“Who are you?”.This was far much crueler than what he had imagined would happen if she woke up.She looked at him the same way people look at strangers on the street.The warmth that filled her eyes when she looked at him had disappeared.It was as if the woman who had loved him had disappeared overnight.The doctor quietly stepped into Elara's room.“Mr. Vale” but he didn't answer.His gaze never left her face.The doctor walked closer to him,tapping his shoulder. “ I think it would be better if you give her some time”.That finally pulled him back to reality,he slowly brought down his hands.He opened his mouth again to speak but no words came out.What would he possibly say to her now?I'm the man that loves you,she wouldn't believe that.I'm the reason you're lying down here,that truth would hurt her too much.He forced himself to smile,wea
