The old master already noticed that Elmo wanted to say something so he asked. "Elmo, do you have something to say?" "Uh grandfather, I won't be staying here for long" He said as he fiddled with his finger hoping the old man wouldn't be sad. "Why won't you be staying here? This house is the family villa so why won't you live here? If it's because you don't like this place we can go back to the family mansion; after all we're only at this villa to change surroundings and we are even going to the main mansion soon." The old master tried reasoning with him. "It's not because we're staying at a villa, actually I really want to stay alone." The old master sighed before speaking, "okay since that's what you want, I won't stop you. I would always want to see you happy." He said and Elmo smiled. They both spoke about different things before Elmo retreated to bed. The next day, Elmo left the Brown family with his Bugatti Chiron to a renowned real estate to purchase a small mansion for him
Everyone was still anticipating, they were waiting for the machine to turn green which would automatically show a successful transaction and it would also be a slap to those who look down on him. Time looks as though it was stopped as they all seized their breath and just like that, a light was shown, but it was not what they imagined. The light showed red, which means it was declined. Declined!! They all burst into laughter when they saw the machine showing red. It turned out that Elmo was just a show off who poses to be want he is not; he is just a church rat! One who saw him bragging about buying the mansion would have thought he really meant it. They laughed even harder seeing Elmo standing without a word to say. They had at the last minute thought that he could really be rich but now it turned out to be untrue.. Some had an angry expression on them seeing the man just waste their time for nothing. Dara, the salesgirl who was polite to Elmo when he came in, was even more sad
Getting to the mansion, Elmo was beyond amazed. The small mansion looks even more beautiful and classy than it was when it was displayed on the screen.They drove the blue sports car into the mansion, which was given an air of opulence.Stepping inside, he was welcomed by a breathtaking foyer, featuring a soaring ceiling adorned with a dazzling crystal chandelier. The foyer leads into a spacious living area, characterized by its high ceilings.Everything in the mansion omits luxury and nobility."Mr Brown, I can see you like the mansion given your expression." Elvor said with a smile."Sure you're right. I'm in love with this mansion at first sight. What a beautiful mansion. Don't you agree, Ms Elvor?" Elmo asked with his eyes still on the beautiful mansion."Yes, it's a beautiful mansion." Elvor said, while the employees that followed them just kept quiet without saying a word.After Elmo was done checking the mansion, Elvor spoke. "Mr Brown, I really want to apologize to you for the
He picked up the call even with the questions in his mind."Hello." He said, shortly."Elmo, how are you?" Kiara asked."I'm fine, if there's nothing else to say, I'll like to hang up." He said indifferently."Why are you talking like this? I'm sure you must be thinking I like you that's why I called but no that's not the case. Actually I know you must be living on the bridge or sleeping on the street. That's why I took pity on you and I'm allowing you to come back home. By the way we're now staying at Archville so tell me your details so I can send you money to buy a ticket for you to come here." She said with pride.Elmo didn't reply to any of the words, instead he asked, "are you at Archville?!""Yes I'm." She said still with proudness in her voice, she had actually thought he wanted to come to Archville, that was why he asked, but his next statement made her think wrong."I'm not coming to live with a person that has actually cheated on me." He said plainly."Elmo, are you nuts? T
Seeing the temperature of the office, Stuart stayed quietly without moving an inch. He feared with Elmo's moody face, he might become a victim of his anger. After a while of solemn face, Elmo raised his thin lip as he spoke, "tell me any available project at hand, I'll like to check it out." He said and Stuart quickly responded, hoping not to piss the already angry man. "Yes, we have an ongoing project, it's the new construction hotel project and we're still under consideration as to who will handle the project, many companies are all fighting for it but you know we have to give the project to the best competent. Besides we're going to be having a meeting to conclude who to give the project to at one of our hotels tonight so are you joining us?" Stuart asked. "Yes, I'll join, you can go before me, I will join you guys later." Elmo said, and Stuart bowed before leaving the office. Soon night came and Elmo drove his car to the seven star hotel. Getting down from his car, he walked i
Within few hours of the meeting ending, news already spread out in the business news that the project which the Martin's family has been eying for the past three months has been given to their rivals which is the Almost a billion dollars!A project which is worth almost a billion was given out just like thatMartin's family must have been devastated, after all who won't be; having lost such a huge contract.Meanwhile, back at Martin's family, anger was unleashed, every single member of the family was quiet seeing a man shouting looking apparently frustrated and angry.He had hoped for the project to be theirs so that they could move to the next level!"How the hell did all this happen? I only sent you both over to represent me for a day but both ruined all my months of planning!""Do you know if I had gotten this contract, my company would have boosted incredibly well?!" The man yelled angrily."Dad, we weren't the one to blame for all this. It's one useless man who caused all this."
Astonishment filled her eyes as she stared at the many alerts coming on her phone."$10,000!""$15,000!"An alert from Ben also showed.He sent the sum of $40,000!His amount was the hugest Hearing everyone praising him for giving Elvor such an amount, he became even more happier.His eyes turned to the calm Elmo as he said in a loud voice. "Everyone has sent their money to Elvor, why don't you send yours." He smirked,Seeing Elmo still looking calm, he said even more. "It's okay if you don't have anything to give, afterall her Elvor must be rich." A sarcastic remark was filled in his words as he meant since Elvor was poor he couldn't give her anything.Everyone quickly looked through his words and noticed that Elmo was the only man at this party who hadn't given her anything. They all felt disgusted with his present even more."He doesn't have anything to give to her?"They wondered how someone could be so shameless to attend a party without any intention of bringing a gift.Seeing
Elmo was so shocked seeing Elvor hugged him, but then he recovered from the shock and slightly moved back."What's that for?" He asked, sternly."C'mon, we are friends now so what is bad in me hugging you, I was just happy about the gift. It's just a friendly hug. She quickly said, seeing everyone totally misunderstanding her action."Oh. You deserve to be happy, it's your birthday gift." Elmo said and Elvor nodded with a smile." I have to go now." He said and just as he was about leaving with the rest, Elvor spoke again."The party hasn't ended yet, it just began so wait till it's over." Her poopy ears said with high expectations in them and Elmo couldn't refuse less.."Okay sure." He said as he sat back on the chair."You may now go, I'll go back home by myself." Elmo said to Stuart and the bodyguards and they all left.Ben on the other hand was even more furious as he saw Elmo sat back. He really doesn't know why he wasn't able to disgrace this man. He clutched his hands as his co
Wasn't she the one planning the downfall of Lily, so how was Lily able to win against her!? God! Why! Camellia, who had weakened on the sofa, had to take a hold of herself. She managed to regain her composure, before saying. "Kaira, sobbing won't do a thing. Remember Elmo?" She asked, out of the blue. Kiara glanced at her. "Elmo? Why are you bringing him up all of a sudden?" "Remember, Mr Henry had said Elmo is now wealthy but we refuse to accept it. What if he's really wealthy, why don't we give it a try and meet him?" Kaira shook her head in disagreement. " I don't believe it and even if he's now wealthy it's pointless! Have you forgotten how I said Elmo treated me at the film launching party? He really won't help me!" She said "Shut up, Kiara." Camellia snapped. "Having a doubtful mind won't help you. Let's believe that Elmo would be wealthy and he would help us!" Camellia yelled in a harsh tone. Kiara's mouth closed. She didn't dare to refute Camellia's words knowing fully
"Mom, honestly, there was nothing important between Lily and me. She merely asked for forgiveness and such," Kiara recounted the restroom incident to Camellia."Is that all Lily said? She didn't cause any trouble, did she?" Camellia's tone indicated her uncertainty to what Kiara was saying.In Camellia's perspective, Lily might have threatened her daughter, which explained Kiara's reluctance in explaining what had happened in the restroom."Mom, I'm not lying whatsoever!" Kiara felt wronged, seeing the doubtful look Camellia was giving her."If you're really telling the truth and not hiding anything, then why didn't tell me all this when I was asking you?" She gave her an I-caught- you look."I refused to tell you anything, because I feared you might go meet Lily and create another chaos again." Kiara responded truthfully."oh, so that's it.""Yes." Kiara said. "When Lily apologized to me, I felt it was all a pretense. I'm sure she has something up her sleeve." "You think so." Camell
Seeing the expression on Kiara's face, Camellia finally get her mind straight and kept calm. She knew forcing Kiara to speak might result in something else so it was better to just hold her calm and wait for Jiara to cool down. Silence befalls around them. None of the two said a word, only heavy breath echoed next to them.Kiara already knew that Camellia was giving her time to get her mind straight. The feelings and weariness back at the restroom had made her a little suffocated that was why she was like this now and the only way to remove those feelings was to keep calm and get rid of those feelings.After a good two minutes, Kiara who had finally gotten hold of herself spoke."Mom, I'm fine. There's nothing much to worry about." She squeezed those thoughts out of her mouth with the intent of trying to comfort her mom.The thought of telling her Mom everything that had conspired between Lily and her at the restaurant.She was afraid that if she should bring it up, then maybe anot
Lily offered a small smile. "I appreciate that, Kiara. Maybe we can find a way to work together without all the tension. After all, we both have roles to play in the film."As she smiled, her pretty and classy face shone across the restroom. Based on her beauty alone, it will make others see her words as nothing but righteous. Even if they did hear and plead words and some doubt still lingers in their heart, it would immediately be dissolved upon seeing the beauty in front of them.However,Kiara was different. She sneered inwardly, she wasn't that gullible to stupidly believe any pleading words from Lily. She knew that Lily accepted to be the second female lead with the intent of snatching the female lead role from before, so how could she be so stupid and foolish to be easily fooled with this whole facade from Lily.Even if she was the one in place of Lily, she would not simply foil all her plans and foolishly or pitifully find peace with herself. Never!As Lily kept on speaking, Ki
Lily's eyes narrowed, she at first thought Camellia was just one of those crazy fans of hers. She had wanted to even force a smile, but upon hearing the word of Camellia, she asked. "Yes, I'm Lily. Who are you and which daughter am I troubling?" She asked, with a curt tone. Camellia could already see that she's a proud and cocky actress. Just who the hell does she think she's to speak to he with such tone. She managed to restrain her anger for later."I'm Camellia, Kiara's mother and I know you know why I'm here." She frowned, as he muttered those words out. Lilky ewned closer to her chair, before she spoke with a mocking smile, "Oh, you must be Camellia, Kiara's dear mother. I've heard so much about you."Camellia's lips curled into a disdainful sneer as she retorted, "And I've heard enough about you, too, Lily. You should be ashamed of yourself for what you've done to my daughter."Kiara had been on the verge of intervening, hoping to de-escalate the situation, but her mother's c
Camellia's face remained widened for a while, as she heard the words of Chloe."What are you really saying? Mr Henry is a good friend of my daughter Kiara." The truth was that Camellia had never really told her friends anything much about Mr Henry. She had only randomly told them that Mr Henry was their helper and also a friend to Kiara, but who would have expected that Chloe would see through all their lies.How would she have known all this!?Her mind kept on running differently.For Chloe to be able to confidently tell her all her lies, then it means that the others already knew.No, that's not possible.She silently prayed for it not to be true."You must be wondering how I know? Well, let me be good and reply to you. I got to know.." she paused as she quickly corrected herself. "No, we all got to know from the day we started noticing that this so-called person, you call your daughter friends and helper is always visiting your house." She said,with a sly and mocking smile." So,
Eldie and Susan understood what Chloe meant by the word. They tried to hold back their laugh, but they tried to do so, while the laughing sound busted out."Why are you both laughing?" Camellia asked with a grumpy expression." Sorry, sorry." Even though they were apologizing, they didn't look as though they were sorry, because they were still laughing. After saying that, they turned to Chloe and asked. "What do you mean by your word? Can you emphasize it for us?" It was clear that those words of Chloe were to insult Camellia's past, so they all knew that Susan and Eldie were both lying, when they said they didn't understand."Of course yes, I would gladly do that." Chloe smiled innocently, as she faced the three of them, but her attention was solely on Camellia's sour expression."What I meant then, was that our Camellia here also has a rough past that was worse than ours, so we should consider not bringing up the car issue, after all Camellia had also told me that." She seemed innoc
"I'll be going to sleep, you should also go. It has been a long day today." She straightened her body, as she stood up."Alright, bye. Goodnight love." Camellia didn't disagree. She was also tired after this long day's conversation. From the exchange of words, to a lot of topics that were spoken about and also about the Vida story, but had really made her tired out.They sluggishly dragged themselves to their rooms.The next morning, Camellia was telling one who woke up first. She had already taken her bath and could be seen in the living room having a cup of coffee. From the side angle, it could be seen that Camellia was enjoying herself with a cup of coffee In her hand, however only she knew she was feeling.The memories of everything Kiara had told her yesterday kept flowing into the head of Camellia, and that main memory was about the reality story of Vida."Oh my…" she sighed. "That poor girl truly doesn't deserve any of those things done to her. How can someone who has struggle
The situation had reached a critical juncture. While Vida and Collins had both spoken out in their defense, the anonymous insider remained shrouded in secrecy, their identity a closely guarded secret. The scandal had become a battle of narratives, with the public left to decide whom to believe.What the fuck is really happening!?All frustrating and tiring.Chaos everywhere. Dramas everywhere. Just when would all this stop for goodness sake!?As the city of Archville grappled with the ongoing drama, a group of investigative journalists continued to dig deeper into the scandal. They interviewed industry insiders, former colleagues of Vida and Collins, and anyone who might have information that could shed light on the truth. The journalists were determined to uncover the identity of the anonymous insider and verify the authenticity of the alleged evidence.Days turned into weeks, and the investigation led to a breakthrough. A whistleblower came forward, willing to reveal their identity
