Chapter 81Celestine wore a wicked grin as she walked into the baby’s nursery to grab him. She was glad that everything was playing out just as she had planned and she couldn’t wait to see the end when Vincent would finally fall to his knees and cry for his life.“This may be the first time and last time you get to see your father. But then, trust me when I say that I’m doing you a favour”, Celestine said to her son as she rocked him gently and carried him out of his crib. She placed her gun in her side pockets after which she walked out of the room.Her plan was quite simple; to poison Vincent and send a bullet across to his chest when he must have gone weak.So far, it was working well and she could already see the pain Vincent was introduced to.“Hi Vincent…I brought you your son to see him for the very last time”, Celestine said as she walked into the dining hall and turned to her gaze to the table.To her greatest surprise and dismay, Vincent was nowhere in view. Her heart sank i

That night, just as Eden went on to sleep, Eliana tossed around the bed right until she couldn’t sleep anymore. She jerked up to her feet and headed out of the room and towards the room where Arnold laid.Once she approached the room, she observed a soft light and this triggered her curiosity. She walked closer to the room and peeked into it from the window.To her greatest surprise, Arnold was awake and with a phone in his hands. She was taken aback by this and for some minute, she went through her memory to recall if she had seen him with a phone.“No”, she said to herself when she remembered how homeless he had been when they saw him by the roadside.Eden had even told her that he didn’t have anything on him and that triggered her suspicion.How then did he have a phone which he was operating?Eliana made to walk out of the hallway, but she missed a step and landed on the ground with a thud. Just then, she heard Arnold’s voice.“Who is there?” He asked, from the room where he laid.

Chapter 85Eliana had no idea of what to do at this point. She was truly exhausted and each time she tried to make Eden understand, he only got mad at her.Something very suspicious happened one night that Eden went out for a walk alone. Eliana was sitting at the balcony…lost in thoughts.She caught sight of Arnold who was staring at her calmly, with different emotions in his eyes.She squeezed her face into a frown as she wondered why he was staring at her in such manner. Just then, he approached her with a smirk on his face.“I would always advise women to remain on their lanes”, Arnold said with a small scoff.Eliana jerked up instantly and peered into his eyes, waiting for him to add more explanation to what he had just said.“What are you trying to say?” Eliana asked she she walked closer to Arnold who was smiling calmly.Arnold took in a deep breath and shook his head negatively. He took a step closer to her and leaned until his lips were close her ears.“You can’t defeat me…no

Eliana was exhausted as hot tears poured out of her eyes. She recalled each words that came off Eden’s lips and she couldn’t help but wish that it was only a dream.She had really passed out since her head was turning at that point. Never would she have fabricated such an act. However, the look on Eden’s face showed how much hate and disbelief he had in his heart against her.Her mental health was deteriorating too. With how often she thought about Arnold and what his presence in his house was going to Eden,it started feeling as though her brain was tearing apart. There were days when she thought that all had ended. She would stand right there at the balcony and break down in tears, startling everyone around and making people raise questioning glares at her. “Eliana…how long are you going to stay this way?” Emily said as he brought a cup of water and some pills over to her. Eliana has been so disturbed over the last couple of days that she barely got any sleep without taking her dru

At this point, Eden was at his wits end and the only thing he considered was institutionalizing Eliana. Deep down, he knew that it was a bad idea, but there was nothing he could do about it. His wife nearly shot Arnold and if he had not intervened on time, Arnold would have been dead. Thoughts of that sent cold chills running down his spine and inasmuch as he concluded that there was nothing much to be scared about, he was scared to the peak.He called for Emily since she was the closest person to Eliana at the moment. Eden knew that she wasn’t fully trusted by them at this point, but he could say that Emily could handle the information he had at hand.“It’s about Eliana”, Eden dropped as he clenched his fist and looked away hurriedly.He was greatly sad and overwhelmed with how the situation was going and the last thing he wanted was making such a suggestion about his wife.“Ever since Arnold’s return, something have been off with her. Earlier today, she tried to kill him with a gun”
