Did you decide to go on with it?” Eliana asked as she searched through her eyes as though the answer to her question laid there.Celestine took in a deep breath after which she wore a big smile and pulled Eliana into a warm hug.“I took your advice to heart and trust me when I say that I’m not making any plans to carry out any form of revenge on anyone”, Celestine said as she quickly darted her eyes away from Eliana

Chapter 81Celestine wore a wicked grin as she walked into the baby’s nursery to grab him. She was glad that everything was playing out just as she had planned and she couldn’t wait to see the end when Vincent would finally fall to his knees and cry for his life.“This may be the first time and last time you get to see your father. But then, trust me when I say that I’m doing you a favour”, Celestine said to her son as she rocked him gently and carried him out of his crib. She placed her gun in her side pockets after which she walked out of the room.Her plan was quite simple; to poison Vincent and send a bullet across to his chest when he must have gone weak.So far, it was working well and she could already see the pain Vincent was introduced to.“Hi Vincent…I brought you your son to see him for the very last time”, Celestine said as she walked into the dining hall and turned to her gaze to the table.To her greatest surprise and dismay, Vincent was nowhere in view. Her heart sank i

Chapter 82Eliana and Eden were out all evening. In the midst of the chaos that went down with Vincent, Eden had discovered a great location and vowed to bring Eliana over once the situation had gotten taken care of.He was glad that after a long time, he had the opportunity to spent the evening with his wife. When they had gotten married newly, they brought out a day of the week which they kept aside for romantic dinners and bonding. It went well for them as that was the major means through which they started getting to know each other.“I’m glad we are doing this again” Eliana said as the soft wind of the evening flushed past her face. Her heart raced with excitement and her stomach tingled with anxiety. It felt as though she have just fallen in love for the very first time in her life.“Thank you for being my wife!” Eden said as he passed a flower across to her.

That night, just as Eden went on to sleep, Eliana tossed around the bed right until she couldn’t sleep anymore. She jerked up to her feet and headed out of the room and towards the room where Arnold laid.Once she approached the room, she observed a soft light and this triggered her curiosity. She walked closer to the room and peeked into it from the window.To her greatest surprise, Arnold was awake and with a phone in his hands. She was taken aback by this and for some minute, she went through her memory to recall if she had seen him with a phone.“No”, she said to herself when she remembered how homeless he had been when they saw him by the roadside.Eden had even told her that he didn’t have anything on him and that triggered her suspicion.How then did he have a phone which he was operating?Eliana made to walk out of the hallway, but she missed a step and landed on the ground with a thud. Just then, she heard Arnold’s voice.“Who is there?” He asked, from the room where he laid.

Eliana woke up so early in the morning but met an empty bed space. She squeezed her face into a frown as she tried to think of where Eden had gone to. Moving slowly out of the bed, she strolled across the hallway in search of him. Just then, she caught sight of him chatting and laughing aloud with Arnold who appeared to be a lot more stronger and vibrant.“Hi Arnold”, Eliana greeted as she walked over to them and sat down.Eden smiled at her while she reciprocated, even if she wasn’t feeling the great mood. Something about Arnold was so awkward and trying to figure it out only made it confused.For a moment, she observed a look on her face and turning her head sideways, she realized that he was gazing at her.“Is there a problem?” Eliana asked as she gulped down hard and wiped the sweats that had formed on her forehead.Something about him made her feel so uneasy, but she had to pretend that she was fine.“You seem off…are you sure that everything is okay?” Arnold asked and that heig

Chapter 85Eliana had no idea of what to do at this point. She was truly exhausted and each time she tried to make Eden understand, he only got mad at her.Something very suspicious happened one night that Eden went out for a walk alone. Eliana was sitting at the balcony…lost in thoughts.She caught sight of Arnold who was staring at her calmly, with different emotions in his eyes.She squeezed her face into a frown as she wondered why he was staring at her in such manner. Just then, he approached her with a smirk on his face.“I would always advise women to remain on their lanes”, Arnold said with a small scoff.Eliana jerked up instantly and peered into his eyes, waiting for him to add more explanation to what he had just said.“What are you trying to say?” Eliana asked she she walked closer to Arnold who was smiling calmly.Arnold took in a deep breath and shook his head negatively. He took a step closer to her and leaned until his lips were close her ears.“You can’t defeat me…no

Eliana followed Arnold towards the pool area that wasn’t far from their apartment. She had been waiting for an opportunity to prove that the person posing to be Arnold was a different person.Her heart skipped a beat as she trailed behind him, hiding behind walls to avoid getting caught each time he turned to look around. Arnold took off his clothes and went into the pool, looking around as though he had an idea that someone’s eyes were on him.Eliana treaded carefully right until she got to the point where she had a clear view of him. She stared at him intently and that was when she caught sight of his bare back. It was empty…She staggered slightly at this realization as differently thoughts swarmed through her heart. Her back leaned on the wall as she went through memory lane to think of when she had caught sight of Arnold’s back.There was a time when Arnold had been sick and she was tending to him. She had massaged his body with some ointment and that was when she saw that he ha
