The word 'divorce' rang in Elmo's ear and he felt shock to the core. He just couldn't believe that the person who he loved and endured all the insults for was asking for a divorce. Could it be possible that he heard wrongly?
"You want us to divorce?" Elmo asked.
"Yes I want a divorce because I am totally and completely suffocated by this stupid marriage and the best thing right now is for us to end this marriage!"
"Kiara but you know I have done a lot of this marriage so why are you saying all this now. Please don't say this!" He pleaded.
"Humph! I don't like repeating myself so just accept whatever I say." Kiara said feeling irritated and Elmo could already figure out that Kiara's mind is made up already so he stopped speaking.
Tears streamed down Elmo's cheek. "Kiara, thank you for making me realize that I am not who you want as a husband. I am really sorry for every pain and embarrassment I have cost you because of this marriage. You can call me and let me know when the divorce papers will be ready, I will surely come and sign it. Bye." He said as he left the mansion.
After seeing Elmo leaving the house, Camilla was very happy.
"Finally this useless impoverish son-in-law is leaving!" She smiled to herself.
Meanwhile Kiara on the other hand, couldn't help but wonder why she felt bad seeing Elmo like that.
Alone on the deserted street, Elmo was left with no place to go. He kept on walking on the lonely street with a solemn face, all this dream of having living a happy life with her was all shattered. He just couldn't believe that Kiara could do this to him without any trace of being guilty. Just what has he done to deserve all this? Why is the whole world against him just because he is poor? Thoughts of whether it was a crime to marry a wealthy lady despite being poor roam in his mind. Although he knew Kiara did treat him like garbage since the time they got married but the love he has for her made him still keep on enduring her hurtful words which were always thrown at him.
He should be the one looking angry after watching his wife with a man but he couldn't understand why his wife asked for a divorce. The fact that he didn't even see any hints of guilt for her illicit act troubled him the most. Just why could she be so calm after cheating?
Now that Kiara has made him realize how much she hate and despite him, he couldn't help but feel sad. Well, now everything is over..
He suddenly just wants to die and finally leave this injustice world that only values the rich and forsake the poor. Still with a gloomy face, he decided to go see his mother house one last time before he died and left his wicked world.
Just as he got to the small apartment which held a hint of loneliness. He paid the cab man who drove him here, the last Penny in his hand and walked closer to the house which looked as though it had been deserted for a long time. Just staring at the house, he walked into the dusty house with a sad face. He looks over the room with a nostalgic feeling, the cool wind whip through his hair. His mind is consumed with thoughts of his deceased mother, who he lost years ago. He feels completely alone in the world without her.
As he stands there, contemplating his next move, he can't help but think about all the times his mother had been there for him. She was his rock, his confidant, and his source of strength. But ever since she has passed away, he feels like he has no one left in this world who cares about him.
Tears start to stream down his face as he remembers the way she used to hold him when he was sad or scared. He wishes she were here to hold him now, to tell him everything will be okay but no he knows nothing can be okay after Kiara has agreed to divorce him!
He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes, feeling the weight of the world pressing down on him. The only way he can escape the pain and loneliness is by taking the old knife in the kitchen and cutting his slit.
But just before he takes that final step, he hears a voice coming from the back. It sounds like a man's voice. He opened his eyes and saw a tall man wearing a black suit. The man's physique was just so perfect and his expression looked so professional making Elmo wonder what a person like this was doing in this isolated place.
"Who are you and what can I do for you?" Elmo asked as he slowly dropped the knife in his hand on the floor.
"Young master Elmo, I am here to take you to the Brown family mansion." The man on black said as he bowed his hand and Elmo looked at him looking totally confused.
"Why are you calling me young master and which family mansion are you taking me to?" He asked, feeling flustered.
"You are the family heir of the Brown aristocrat family."
"What do you mean?" Elmo gave him a dubious look as he continued staring at the man in front of him.
"Actually I am a secret agent and I have been on a mission to bring you back to the mansion by the old Master and for the past years now, I have been coming here with the hope of seeing you but I guess you disappeared ever since ma'am passed away." The man explained with his head bowed slightly in respect.
"What?" Elmo looked shocked after hearing all this.
"In fact, immediately I saw you walking into the house. I quickly gave a call to the old Master and he asked for me to bring you back. Can I have your account number?" The man asked and Elmo quickly gave him his account number wanting to see what he intended to do with it.
"Why did you ask for my account number and were you perhaps referring to my Mom as ma'am?" He asked and when the man nodded, he felt even more confused.
Just as he was about to ask another question, he saw a 'ding' on his phone and he immediately checked it.
His expression just after checking it shows he was completely shocked to the core..
He just saw an alert of 100$ million dollars on his phone!
How could this be possible? He raised his head to look at the man and a smile on the man's face. He immediately faced the phone back to check probably whether or not he was mistaken.
With doubt still in Elmo, he kept checking his phone continuously and when he had checked it more than ten times, he finally believed it!
He finally believed that a mere poor man like him was now credited with 100 million dollars..
His heart was pounding, and he was overcome with a mix of shock, joy, and disbelief. He had always been a poor man who lived at the mercy of his in-laws and barely scraping by. He had never for once thought that he would ever be rich but here he is now.
His eyes were glued to counting the number of figures on his account with so much happiness and then after being satisfied that the money was truly in his account, he raised his head up.
"Were you the one that sent it?" He asked.
"I wasn't the one who sent it. I just forward your account number to the old master and he sent the money." The man gave a cool smile.
"Okay so can you tell me about my family, I want to know everything." Elmo wanted to know everything about his family.
"Young master, I am sorry but I won't be able to tell you anything. The old master will surely tell you everything you need to know once you meet him." The man said.
"Okay." Elmo nodded.
"You can go to the nearest hotel to sleep, tommorow I'll surely come see you, all you have to go is that once you get there, you will message me the hotel name." The man in Black said and both separated.
He boarded a cab to one of the most luxurious hotels in Fallon city and since Elmo was now $100 million rich, he decided to pay for the room. On getting to the receptionist office, he was greeted with a beautiful woman. "Hi, I want to book a room for the night." Elmo said. The receptionist raised her head from the file and looked at the person who just spoke. Her look at him was of disgust. Looking at the rag he was wearing, she wondered how he could afford a room at this hotel. "Excuse me sir, are you sure you read the sign board outside." She asked. "Yes I read it. This is a seven star hotel." Elmo answered. "Since you know this is a seven star hotel, why are you here?" She asked again with an irritated look thrown at Elmo. "This is a hotel and I have the right to be here. Can you just give me a room and let me go." Elmo said. "Sorry, all the rooms and suites available are all filled up so there's no room for you." She said in an unpleasant tone. She just couldn't give him a r
With the key in his hands he was directed to the suite. As he stepped into the presidential suite, his jaw dropped in awe. The room was larger than his entire apartment back home. He couldn't believe this, and he felt like he was living a dream.He made his way to the bedroom, and his eyes widened as he saw the king-sized bed with its silky sheets and fluffy pillows. He couldn't wait to sink into it and drift off to sleep.But it wasn't just the furnishings that impressed him. The suite had a stunning view of the city skyline, and he could see all the way to the horizon. He stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows, feeling like he was on top of the world. As the day comes to a close, the sky begins to take on a different hue. The once bright and shining sun begins to set, painting the sky with a myriad of colors. The air begins to cool as the warmth of the sun fades away, and the world prepares for the night ahead.In the midst of the night, the world seems to come alive with its own un
"The secret agent I asked to bring you back told me about what happened when he saw you at your mom's house. He told me you were about killing yourself with a knife. I really can't tell what would have happened to me if you died. Please don't ever try taking your life again.""Grandfather, I promise I won't ever try that again. Now I know I have a family, I have no reason to commit suicide again." Elmo assured the old man."Alright, I hope you keep your words. Uh I also had the agent to investigate where you have been living all these years after your mom's death and he told me you have been staying with your in-laws. I can't believe you were always treated badly by those mothers and daughters duo!" He said.How could they treat you like a worthless? I'll make sure they pay for all they have done in ten folds! Firstly I want you to tell me what punishment you want to punish them for all the unjust done to you, if you want I can get her ruined forever so that even if they tried getting
The bright ray of light shone on Elmo as he stretched his body on his big soft bed, after dressing up, he went downstairs. Elmo's face was just beaming with a smile as if this was the first time in years that he had ever slept peacefully."Elmo you are awake? Come have a cup of tea." Sonia said as she walked closer to Elmo with a big smile on her glowing face."Sure. Wow, this tea tastes nice. Who made it?""I made it myself." Sonia replied.Just as Elmo was about to say something, Peter walked into the villa looking happy as he was flushed at how big the villa is."God Elmo, everything you told me over the phone last night was true? Gosh I am so happy that my best friend is now a wealthy man and I know I'll also be a wealthy man because I am your friend." He smiled as he continued speaking non stop. "Now that you are in a powerful family, I am gonna get a Bugatti Veyron and a white Mercedes Benz for myself. In fact I am gonna fulfill every single thing that is on my wish list." He
Seeing Stuart leaving the office, Peter quickly turned to Elmo with a large smile on his face. "What's with the smile?" Elmo asked, looking suspiciously at the smiling Peter. "What do you mean? Can't I smile again without any reason?" "I really know you want to say something. So spill it out." "You sure do know me. Well you are right. Uh, why don't we go get a car for yourself." Elmo raised his eyebrows. "Why should we do that? You know there are many cars in the villa already so why should we go get another one?" He asked. "C'mon Elmo, why are you such a miser? It's really not bad to have a personal car that you bought yourself. Let go now, I am really bored here." Peter grumbled until Elmo agreed to his request. "Fine let's go." Elmo said and they both left the office. They walked into an establishment of exotic car dealership that specializes in selling high-end and prestigious automobiles, often from luxury brands such as Lamborghini, bugatti Veyron, Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, a
Her soft but loud voice stopped Elmo and his friend right in their tracks. With her loud voice, every passerby stops just to watch the commotion that's about to unfold.She stepped closer to him with a light smirk visible on her pretty face. "Are you walking away because you couldn't control your tears after hearing me talk about your divorce?" She raised her voice as she asked just so everyone could hear their conversation."Yes we're divorce! Isn't that what you want to hear? Now that you have heard me, can you just leave!" Elmo said."Humph, why are you in such a hurry to chase me away? Cmon I remember you said earlier that you are here to buy a car, why don't you buy it now. I mean right in my presence." She scoffed as"Why should I buy it right in your presence? I really don't have time for your drama so can you just leave." Elmo said, trying his best to remain calm.Just then the lady who went to bring the receipt came back, seeing the little commotion, she tried speaking after
Hearing the scream, Elmo quickly pressed the brake and the car stopped."What the hell just happened?" Peter asked with his heart in his chest as he felt he had almost died from shock."Who the hell screamed like that?" They both got out of the car and were welcomed with the sight of another car right in front of their car.An angry looking man stepped down from the car as he surveyed his car, which had already been scratched badly."Are you guys mad, how dare you damage my car? Do you know how much this car is worth? It's worth a hundred of your life!" The man yelled as he kept on surveying the damages."Why are you shouting at us, you should speak politely to us and then we might be able to find out what happened exactly." Peter said.Just as the man was about to respond, he finally took notice of the blue Bugatti Chiron car."What! Is this yours? Did you steal it?" The man asked with astonishment as it looked so unbelievable to be seeing a Bugatti Chiron."Yes, I thought you wante
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
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
