Elena’s POVLife has been just been there. I haven’t heard from Henry but I heard about how he had been brutal. I didn’t know I still had feelings for Henry until that scene in the mall. I decided to move on with my life. Danny was too busy lately so I had to hang out with Clare.“See anything you like?” I looked up. There was a woman smiling at me. I smiled back. She was a middle aged woman with big circle O earrings and a scarf over her hair. I couldn’t see the color of her hair too. She had these perfect white teeth. She had dark eye shadows, dark lipstick. You know the classical fortune teller persona. A bit gothic too.“Oh it’s nothing, I was just drawn to these cards” my smile slowly transitioned into a laugh. A nervous laugh. Her eyes zoned in on the cards and she smiled. I knew it. I knew I was not hallucinating. The longer I stared at this card, the more it felt like I had just walked into a museum and staring right back at me was a picture of myself on the wall. I mean ho
Elena’s POVMy heart raced as I followed the sleek black car. Who was this woman and what did she have to do with that man. The man wore a suit so he might be in a cooperate company. I feared for the man because the lady didn’t look easy to the eye. My grip tightened on the taxi's door handle. I was worried. A part of me wanted to know if the man would be safe and another wanted to know the real identity of the woman Henry was dating. Did he know she was involved in some Mafia shit?“Sir please can you go any faster” I urged the driver to keep up the pace, as soon as I saw we were almost losing them.“You will pay for me?” he looked into the mirror.“Of course I would” I raised my chin and glared at him.“Okay miss” he stepped on the gas and we sped. I prayed no police was on the road. The black car stopped just before the traffic. As I waited for the light to go green, I looked ahead. The next road was the one that led one out of the town. I looked around. There was no other road ava
Henry sat in the sitting room, thinking about what had his life had been lately. He couldn’t believe in the past week, he would give out a 100 billion dollar worth of assets but then he would never had touched it, even if there was no issue patterning to it. He needed the money since he could go broke any moment from now. He had to use part of his money to settle his father’s court cases. He was just surviving from the funds coming from Luther’s business, which was about to get packed up, if they didn’t do anything about it. Worse of Luther was yet to be buried and he had not heard from the lawyers.“Have you seen Laura lately” he asked Jackson. He shook his head before he began to flip through the television channels. Henry wondered what she could be up to. She must be cooking something. He had come to know Laura. Her silence was as dangerous as her words. Look at how she wreaked havoc in his life by just saying what she did, last week at the mountain house. He wondered who her infor
Clare cleared her throat as soon as Elena entered the house.“Oh Clare” she flopped down on a chair and sighed. “ I am so sorry babes. Something came up”“ I suppose Elena, I deserve an explanation” Clare put a hand on her waist with a frown evident on her face. Elena stared at her friend. She couldn’t tell her friend what had happened. Could she keep a secret? Nah. Clare was a blabbermouth. She had told Danny about Henry and that made Danny super jealous. That was the reason Danny was hell bent on embarrassing Henry on her birthday. She silently shook her head.“hello?” Clare waved her hands like a flag in front of Elena.Elena plastered a big smile on her face. “ I met with my ex” Clare’s widened and she smiled coyly.“ I told you, you are not over Henry” Elena shook her head. “ it’s not Henry”“Then who?” She asked“it’s the guy before Henry” Elena sighed. And so she went on to gossip about an event that never happened. Of course Claire believed her. She was always eager to hea
“Let me know when it would be her next trial” Henry said to the policeman who was an ally to Luther. He nodded. Henry wanted to help her. She could serve just her sentence since she was the one who actually killed Chloe but he woo help her clear her name with Windsor.Henry and Jackson turned and made their way out of the station.It didn’t take long for Henry to know the truth. He asked Jackson and he called a few people. Ruby was actually saying the truth. “I hate her” Henry sneered.“The feeling is mutual boss” Jackson agreed. Henry found out that while Laura was abroad, she had planned the murder of Chloe, all because of her father wanted him to marry Chloe. “I thought she was innocent” Henry swerved swiftly, avoiding a stupid driver.“Now I understand why she didn’t want to see Luther” Jackson added. And just like that everything began to make sense. The whispered calls. The weird outings. All those things that a maid he suspect her. She was indeed doing something behind the sc
"That bastard," Henry muttered under his breath.” you said he was the one that allowed us into the party?” Jackson nodded. The boys; Henry, Jackson, Kyle, Marcus and Shane gathered in the guest room. They had left the party without much news about Windsor but there was a news going round that Lukas was the newest hit man for Windsor’s gang.“Yes. I confirmed it at the party, that Lukas really joined Windsor’s gang.” Jackson said.“I bet they know a lot about us now” Henry said. “Yes, I guess so” Shane said"Emm guys, what about her?" Marcus, the third in command said as he looked at the bed.All of them stared in that direction. They stared at Ruby all cuddled up like a kitten. Sleeping soundly. Just as they were about to leave, she screamed out."Guys I think she's having a night mare" one of them said.******Ruby jerked up awake. Sweat formed a moustache on her face.“What a horrible dream” she thought. She rubbed her hands over her eyes. Maybe she wasn’t seeing well. She tried t
Meanwhile back at the party, Elena was scared as she noticed the person in a devil’ costume staring at her. She couldn’t be herself as she thought series of ways to evade the man. She looked for Claire but she didn’t know she had gone to. When Elena turned back again, to check the strange guy was still looking at her, she was surprised. The man was nowhere to be seen. It was like he had just disappeared into thin air. She strained her neck, searching far for him.“Who are you looking for?” Elena flinched. She turned to find Claire behind her.“Stop doing that” Elena clutched her hand on her chest and Claire giggled. “Where have you been? U have been looking everywhere for you?”“Oh nothing I was around” Claire replied. Elena watched her friend. She had a few crumpled part on her dress. Her lipstick was not as bright as before. She knew. Claire looked away to avoid Elena’s taunting gaze.“You were back there snugging some dude right?” Elena smiled coyly. Claire playfully pushed her. “
Henry knocked on the door. “Come in” came Ruby’s voice. She had washed up and was given clean clothes to wear by the maids.“Hello Ruby” Henry said as he walked into the room. He was accompanied with Jackson and Marcus.“How are you doing?” Jackson asked.“I’m okay” she smiled. “Okay Ruby we need to take down Ivan” she nodded. “But we need your help” Henry added. Ruby went quiet for a moment. “I don t think she can do it” Jackson muttered to Henry. “I can do it” she said immediately. “It’s just that I need some things in place” she said her eye shone with determination. As in a depth of many seas, Ruby recalled what had happened before she got to leave with Windsor. She shook her head. Her whole life was turned upside down, the moment she was kidnapped by Windsor’s men. Because she was too young, she could be put into the prostitution business, so Windsor decided to make her a maid. His son was like 2 years younger than her but he took pleasure in bullying her at every moment he g
