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 unique energy. Elmo walked to the balcony and took a seat. With his body lolled on the chair. Thought of what happened earlier came flowing in, after realizing that he was from a wealthy family.
He really can't remember having any memory with the Brown family, yes he knows his surname was Brown but he has never even imagined that he was related with the aristocratic family. In fact he can only remember everything that has happened in his life from when he was 10 so anything before that time is not remembered by him. He has always asked his mom about his life before ten but she had never given him a reasonable answer.
When he noticed he was getting sleepy, he quietly left for the bed and slept.
The next morning after dressing up, he walked out of the presidential suite and was greeted with the sight of many bodyguards dressed in black. They all had their heads bowed so Elmo couldn't see their faces.
"Who are you people?" Elmo asked looking confused and before they could answer, the secret agent who spoke to Elmo yesterday smiled as he stepped closer.
"Young master, they are your bodyguard. Are you perhaps ready to leave now?" He asked with his head bowed.
"Yes but firstly, can you tell me your name?" Elmo asked.
"I am Ben." The man replied.
"Alright Ben, let's leave now." Elmo said and they both took the private jet and left the country.
Immediately, they got to the country. Elmo was surprised to see many black cars gathered around them and all those driving the car stepped out with their heads bowed in respect to Elmo.
"You may enter the car young master." A tall handsome man said as he opened the passenger seat of the latest Mercedes Benz for Elmo.
"Is this how the rich do?" Elmo questioned inwardly as he looked astounded seeing many black cars surrounding them. He wouldn't have been that astounded if the cars were all cheap but all the cars that are gathered are all so expensive. The least expensive of those cars should be around 1 million dollars!
With Elmo still finding an answer to all his questions, he wasn't aware that the car had long stopped. He only realize that when the tall man who asked him to enter the car earlier knocked on his car glass.
"Young master, we have gotten to the villa." The tall guy said calmly and Elmo got down from the car.
Stepping out of the car, he was once again astounded. He couldn't believe my eyes. The exclusive villa before him was like nothing he had ever seen before. The sprawling estate was surrounded by perfectly manicured gardens and dotted with towering palm trees. The front entrance was a grand archway that led to an enormous wooden door with intricate carvings etched into its surface.
As he stepped into the villa, his senses were overwhelmed. The air was filled with the fragrance of fresh flowers, and the soft sound of classical music filled the room. The interior was exquisitely decorated with luxurious furnishings, from the plush velvet sofas to the ornate chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.
Still with his intense gaze on every single thing in the villa, he didn't notice so many people had already walked and sat on the chair. After checking every single thing in the villa he finally moved his eyes back to the chair. It was at that moment, he saw many eyes on him.
All the people seated were all looking rich and classy. Looking at himself, he couldn't believe he is family with these rich people.
After moment of them staring at him, a young pretty lady shouted with excitement in her.
"Brother, you are finally here. I never believed I would ever see you." A young lady shouted as she ran and hugged Elmo tightly. The dumbstruck Elmo could only watch as the pretty lady hugged him tightly without any willingness to free him.
"Why is she calling me her brother?" He raised her eyebrows looking confused.
After what seems like forever, the pretty lady finally freed him.
"I can see you have millions of questions in your mind and one of them is why did I call you my brother. Am I right?" The girl gave a cute smile as she asked.
"Yes I do have a lot of questions but the first question is why do you call me your brother?" Elmo asked and when the girl wanted to reply a beautiful woman who looked quite in her prime spoke.
"Elmo my dear, Sonia is really your true sister because it was your Mom who gave birth to her but due to something which we are all unaware of, your Mom took you away without anyone knowing and left your sister with us when she was just six." The woman explained calmly with a smile on her face.
"Really?" Elmo asked.
"Yes, can't you remember your sister? I am sure you must still have a tiny memory of her in you. Right?" The woman asked.
"I'm sorry but I really can't remember any of you." Elmo apologized.
Just as the woman was about to ask why, an old man with a powerful aura walked down the stairs. His aura was so powerful that every one who was looking at Elmo, suddenly turned.
"Grandfather, Elmo is here." Sonia quickly ran to her grandfather with happiness.
"Yes I can see he is here already." The old master smiled as he looked at the grandson who has been away for some time now.
Everyone was shocked to see the old master smile, he had never smiled for once after his wife's death so it felt a little surprising seeing him smile at Elmo.
Seeing his grandson, the old master felt nostalgic about the past. His emotions were different. He felt a bit of sadness and regret that his grandson wasn't with him for a long time."
"How are you Elmo?" He asked.
"I'm fine sir." Elmo replied and a frown came on the old master's face making his old face a little crumpled.
Elmo wondered why the old master suddenly frowned when he was just smiling earlier." Sir, why are you frowning?"
"You're calling me sir and not grandfather, that's why." The old master said and Elmo almost chuckled.
"Just because of that?" Elmo asked almost at the point of laughter.
"Yes of course." The old master almost fretted and his behavior looked so childish to people watching.
"Alright grandfather. Are you satisfied now?" Elmo asked.
"Yes I am." He replied looking happy like a child who finally got his candy back.
"Let go have a talk in the garden." The old master said.
They both went to the beautiful garden which holds a feeling of warmth and sat down. Before they could even start a conversation, an old man came and serve them a tea.
"Butler yate, you may leave now." The old master said and the butler left but not without a bow.
After seeing they were the only one left, the old man spoke again. "Elmo I really can't show how happy I am to see you after so many years. I know you can't remember all of us but I can assure you that you will never regret having us as your family." The old master said with a sad expression.
"Grandfather, don't be sad. I know I can't remember you all but that doesn't mean it will remain like that forever. Very soon I'll surely regain my past memory. I assure you that." Elmo smiled.
"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
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
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
