Loretta woke up the next morning, meeting Elsa on the bed alone. She quickly glanced around the small room, he wasn’t anywhere.A small possibly at at the back og her mind that he’d left again. She rushed top the wardrobe and sighed in relief when she saw his big black bag and his suitcase.There was a big black bag beside his suitcase which wasn’t there when he arrived yesterday, could Wayne have put the bag here?She ran her ahnds along the tips. It was made of real leather and was probabaly very expensive. It was the sort of bag people ususalyy to carry lots of cash.Just as she was about to open the bag, Elsa called out to her and she stepped back to kiss her daughter good morning.“Where’s Daddy?” Elsa looked around in surprise.“I- He stepped out for a moment, dear. Let’s get you ready for scholl, baby.”“Yay! I love going to school!” Elsa ran into the bathroom and Loretta laughed. “Is it cause you wanted to get 1st position from Charlie?”Charlie was Elsa’s best friend, he was
Wayne turned to face Fedora, hands in his pocket. "What clothes was I wearing when you saw me stealing your box?""I. Huh." She cleared her throat. "A b. . .black hoodie and trousers."Wayne's hot gaze burned into her eyes."Really?" He took a few intimidating steps forward, pinning her with a fierce malicious gaze.Having trained in Martial arts, he'd developed an intimidating aura that could frighten anyone he focused on.Fedora was beginning to fumble under the pressure. "Mum, I'm not l. . .lying. I saw him with the box. Please believe me!""What the hell are you doing to my daughter, you freak? You took the box out of this room, didn't you?" Aleena jumped on Wayne's throat immediately. "Don't you dare deny that hid it in that black bag that was in your wardrobe!"But Wayne's gaze didn't leave Fedora's face. "I can assure you that the jewelry box is still in this room. Your daughter hid it just to frame me!"Fedora flinched in fear at the deep baritone of Wayne's voice. He sounded
"Daddy, please put me down." Elsa muttered.She got down and ran to the door. "Mummy, I want to go play with Dennis downstairs.""Alright, baby. Were coming down soon." Loretta rubbed Elsa's hair and let her out.Wayne was still staring down at his phone, his fingers were hovering over the 'read' button.What he was about to discover would be a turning point in his life. Either to strengthen his plans or turn his life into a nightmare.As he was about to open the email notification, the door swung open and three people burst in.Anna, Gary and his wife, Aleena.Loretta frowned deeply, placing her arms akimbo. “Aunt, don't tell me you had to involve Grandma in what just happened? Aren't you supposed to be scolding your daughter for what she did?”Aleena gave out a loud hiss and scoffed. “Keep your opinion to yourself, Loretta. I don't need you to tell me how to raise my daughter. Face your thief of a husband!”“Aunt, I won’t tolerate you calling my husband a thief.” Loretta insisted. “Y
Wayne's face turned deathly pale and the phone dropped to the floor immediately.He clenched his fists so hard than he ever had.His heart was racing so hard and he was beginning to feel hot under his clothes.How could Simon not be his father?Could there have been a mistake in the readings?He trusted Mark must have carried out the job religiously well.Was he really not a Costa?“Wayne? Are you okay?” Loretta noted the drain of colour from his face.He stared down at her and swallowed hard."I. . . I'm-" For the first time, the Almighty Wayne Costa stuttered.He was really shaken.As he was thinking of what to say, Aleena picked his phone from the floor. “What the hell is wrong with you? Why did you suddenly look so pale?”“Paternity results?”Wayne looked up when she gasped. “Give that back!” A muscle ticked in his jaw.But before he could reach her, Gary had snatched the phone and had a look at the screen. “You had a DNA test with Simon Costa?” He faced his mother in shock.“Wha
Heavy tension hung in the air when Aleena finally left.Wayne turned to face Loretta. “Loretta, please don’t be mad, there's a reason why I can't say what happened on the 5th of November.”“It’s okay, Wayne. I totally understand you.” She muttered, looking straight into his eyes.Instead of the helplessness she saw earlier, she saw determination and anger.Loretta raised her hands to his cheeks. “What-?” She wanted to ask, but Elsa rushed in.“Daddy, Mummy, what’re you doing?”The both of them sprung apart to face their daughter at the door.She thought they were in an embrace when she dashed in.Loretta was still in a daze. “Baby, what’re you doing here?”“I’m gonna be late for school, Mummy! You and Daddy can hug later!” Elsa whined.She rushed in to grab both their hands and pulled them out.Wayne only smiled and followed his daughter’s lead.When they got to the car, he sent a quck message to Mark before pulling out of the garage, on the way to the Kindergarten..“How the hell di
“You!” Aleena’s eyes turned red, both in embarrassment and arousal. “How can you say that?” She panicked. “What if someone hears you?!” William gave her a lopsided grin and stepped forward to whisper. “No one can hear what we’re saying, look around. We’re all alone.”His hot breath sent a shiver down her spine and her breast began to tingle.Aleena wanted Williams again. She knew it was very dangerous, but she couldn’t help drooling over him and picturing how his handsome and sexy body would look in bed with her.She’d missed him so much.‘He’s only 24 years old, Aleena. Control yourself!’ Her inner voice screamed.She snapped back to reality.Williams was here to make her life miserable again. If not, why would he suddenly appear after disappearing for 6 months?“What exactly are you doing here? Don’t tell me you’re here to extort money from me again?” She asked, arms akimbo.“Come on, Mummy.” William took her hands in his, with the most solemn expression on his face ever. “I did th
"Williams, you bastard!" Aleena screamed in fright, trying to go after the car. "Stop right there! Williams!"Being too clumsy, she tripped and fell even before she could alight the steps.The car zoomed off speedily, leaving a trail of smoke, as a signal of her stupidity."Oh my Gosh!" Aleena huffed in anger.What just happened? Why is Williams trying to kidnap Elsa?Anger surged through her as she stood there, stomping her feet in anger.This was all part of Leslie's plans. That woman planned to take Elsa away from her!"Oh no."She was stupid enough to grant them their wishes. What if Elsa got hurt?That Leslie Wilson bitch!Aleena turned around to storm into the bar, but was met face to face with three guards, right next to Leslie's bodyguard.They gripped her roughly by the arm."What're you doing? Let go of me right away!" Aleena screamed, a shiver of fear running down her spine.Despite her screams and protests, they pulled her into the bar.Several men and women loitered the d
Wayne Costa clenched his teeth hard. His heart racing wildly from over exertion and anger.He'd arrived at the Merry Children Kindergarten 10 minutes earlier and when Elsa wasn't at her usual spot waiting for him, he went in to find her.Elsa wasn't in her class, the class teacher had left and now the principal was pretending not to know what happened."How can you tell me that your student could go missing under your watch, and you have nothing to do with it?" He asked for the 2nd time, as if he didn't hear properly.What sort of school is this?The principal rolled her eyes. "Like I said, sir. Your wife most probably came to pick her up. I can't think of any other thing!""No! Don't give me that crap! My wife was never here." Wayne knew she was lying, he knew exactly what was going on.His daughter had been taken hostage, right under the watch of this silly woman, and she was so relaxed about it.There wasn't even an ounce of surprise or remorse on her face.Wayne took two threatenin
