The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Hospital
The last minute was spent staring at the man who looked just like Ray. His primary focus was the family name. “How authentic is this? He could be a doppelganger for all we know,” Edgar said to the man. “That is also a possibility, sir, but what are the chances? According to what we know, he was found in the sea with no memory of where he came from. According to the news, Zade Delamonte had been missing after his car went off the bridge.”“And it brought him all the way from there to here?” Edgar's doubt was evident but it was mostly him trying to erase all possibilities from his mind. If Ray was a Delamonte then he was as good as dead. No way his grandfather would let him get away with hurting his grandson. It wouldn't matter if he knew or not. “I don't know what to say about that, sir but I assure you this information is seventy percent accurate,” the man said.“And the other thirty percent?”“That he might be a doppelganger just as you have said. Only a DNA test can confirm our

“Why'd he change his mind? What did you do?” Ray asked weakly. It came as a surprise when Elsa came to visit. He questioned her about the bruises on her face but she skillfully avoided the question. Now, she was saying that Edgar was fine with them being together. It sounded too good to be true. “I didn't do anything. After I rejected him before his business associates, he just gave up. I guess he's still trying to recover from the shock of being publicly humiliated,” Elsa shrugged. Ray didn't believe her. Edgar was not that simple. There was something more. Something she wasn't telling. Elsa could see the doubt on his face as clear as day. She didn't know what more to say to him. She was just as surprised and suspicious as he was. Edgar had suddenly changed his mind for reasons best for him. The good thing was that they could finally be together. The bad side was that they didn't know his next move so they couldn't prepare for anything. “Will you tell me what happened to your f

The next days were hell for them. When her mother made that threat, she thought nothing of it but now, they were starving. There was barely enough to have a decent meal once a day.Ray had tried virtually everything to make a living but it seemed like the date was against him. No one wanted to employ him even as a servant. All the interviews he was supposed to go for were canceled. Same with Elsa. It felt like fate was punishing her for publicly humiliating Edgar. They couldn't even afford a place to stay. Her parents had given them the barn to manage until they could get a place of their own. It had been before the whole unemployment saga of course. Now, they were on the verge of groveling to her parents for food. Going to Edgar was no option for them. They didn't want to seem like they were leeching off him right after they said they didn't want his wealth. “What are we going to do? It feels like we've been blacklisted in the entire city. No one wants to employ us for some stup

“Raymond! What a pleasant surprise. I didn't expect to see you here so soon,” Edgar grinned as soon as he walked through the door. Ray felt uncomfortable with the man's joy. It was as though he knew they were suffering and waited for the right time for them to come begging. Elsa would be so pissed when she heard about it. Ray let out a sigh. Now was not the time for regrets. Whatever he was doing now was for the betterment of their life. Her life. He couldn't continue watching her live miserably because of him.“May I come in?” He asked politely.“Sure! Sure! Sorry about my manners. I am just so excited to see you. I thought you both agreed to stay away from me.” If Ray didn't know better he would say the man was taunting him but that wasn't the point now. Whether Edgar was taunting or not, nothing was going to change. The highest it could do was hurt his pride. “I'm sorry for showing up in your office without an appointment. It was urgent and I just had to see you. I hope you u

Elsa was cooking when her mother showed up at the door. She knew she was about to get an earful again but she didn't want to disrespect her mother. “Good morning, mom,” Elsa greeted without sparing her mother a glance. “That's it?” Mrs Larry scoffed. Elsa willed herself not to look. “You won't even spare your mother a glance.”When Elsa didn't reply, she walked towards her, scoffing at everything in her way. “I can't even blame you for not welcoming me, seeing the lack of… furniture,” she said with disdain, grimacing at everything in her way. Elsa continued to ignore her. “You're not even going to welcome your mother? Where are your manners, young woman?” “Make yourself comfortable, mother, although I doubt the hay might be up to your standard,” Elsa said sarcastically. Mrs Larry rolled her eyes. “Where is Ray? I don't see him anywhere and what are you making?”“He went to work, Mom. I'm making sauce as you can see.”Mrs Larry looked into the pot. This time Elsa looked at her,

“You still haven't told me why you're so pissed. Your mother invited us to dinner. If anything, we should be happy,” Ray said.He returned home to meet her sulking in a corner. He tried talking to her but she wouldn't tell him what the problem was. Instead, she was asking him to decline any dinner invitation that came from her mother. Ray understood that they didn't see eye to eye on most things but he was sure they loved each other. Mrs. Larry was affectionate in her way, maybe Elsa misinterpreted it as hatred.“What happened?” Ray asked again.“My cousin is here,” She informed him. He stared without saying a word. “My annoying cousin. My mother's perfect daughter imagine and they wouldn't shut up about Edgar, the opportunities I missed, all of that…” he rolled his eyes…”He understood where the anger was coming from now. The fact that she would get angry when someone talked about him or when they tried to ridicule her decision to marry him touched him in ways he couldn't explain.

“Elsa! That's enough!! You're going to kill her.”The voice sounded distant in her ears even though they were right beside her. She was going to teach the best lesson. “Elsa!!”She smacked Ariane across the face again, sounding a deadly warning into the ears of the struggling girl. “Never you ever in your life raise that skinny hands of yours on my husband again, you hear me?” Mrs Larry fought to get her off but Elsa was far from ready to leave. Unless Ariane apologized to her husband, she was going to beat her to death if need be. “Why are you just standing there? Do something, you moron!” Mrs Larry screamed at Ray and Elsa shot him a glare.He didn't bother trying. He didn't plan on stopping her either way. When he saw Ariane coming, he tried his best to avoid her but the girl bumped right into him.He understood she was probably pissed over her dress but he expected her to act a little mature, considering it was her fault. “Do you hear me?” Elsa growled once again, fisting her

Drafting out the meeting agenda was one of Ray's least favorite things to do. He couldn't complain because it was part of his job but when the unexpected visitor showed up, he knew two things were possible.Edgar flared up for letting in a visitor a few minutes to an important meeting or him sending the visitor away before she even had the chance to see him. But what if Edgar knew her? He was certain she didn't have an appointment. “Who did you say this woman is, again?” He asked the secretary.“Miss Ariane Mersh.”Ray stiffened immediately. Ariane? That name sounded way too familiar. He just hoped it wasn't who he was thinking.“Could you describe her? The boss wants more information on this visitor,” Ray lied. Edgar was in the bathroom, oblivious to what was going on. “Blonde hair, blue eyes…”“The boss will not see her. She doesn't have an appointment,” he interrupted. It was indeed her. Elsa’s cousin.She'd only been around for three days. Ray didn't see how she could have gott

Happy
The hospital was in chaos. Just a few hours ago, they were busy trying to deliver a woman of her baby and now, there was a blood bath. Doctors, nurses, and patients scampering for their lives. Edgar arrived at the hospital just a few minutes after the Delamontes did. With the guards positioned around, he knew there was no way to carry out the initial plan. He wanted Elsa. As revenge on Zade for ruining his life, he wanted to kidnap Elsa and the baby. Unfortunately, the security was too tight.Even if he succeeded in getting into the hospital, there was no possibility of getting out unscathed and alive. So he decided to face them squarely and it resulted in a bloody gunfight. The Delamontes were with Elsa in the private ward, with the Doctors and nurses attending to her.No one cared about the blood bath outside. Their priority was for Elsa to deliver safely.Edgar was able to take down the guards at the entrance but just when he thought he'd succeeded, more came out the through th

Labor
“You sure this plan is going to work?” Elizabeth asked for the umpteenth time.“Why do I feel like it's not the plan you're worried about but the person you might find,” Elsa crossed her arms. Elizabeth let out a sigh. “It's just that, I really like him, you know. I desperately want him to be the good guy. It will break me if he is actually the mole here.”“It's okay to be terrified. It's normal when you love someone, you want them to be an angel. A misunderstood villain and all of that but we need to face reality here. If Zion is not who he pretends to be, then we need to purge him out of your company before he ruins you,” Elsa said frankly.“But why would he?” Elizabeth threw her hands in her hair, confused and frustrated. “I offered him a job as my PA with a heavy paycheck and mouthwatering allowances to enable him to better the lives of his grandmother and son. I got him a fucking luxury apartment. Why would he repay me by sabotaging my company?”“You've said all the good things

The culprit
“Who do you work for?” The question was accompanied by a punch to the man's guts. He let out a groan but that seemed to be all he was going to do. Groan and groan until they got tired of hitting him.“I asked a question! Who is your boss?” He barely acknowledged the question, focusing on the wounds on his body. He had been stalking Elizabeth as usual when three cars entrapped him and he ended up here. The men had been torturing him for three days straight but all attempts to get him to speak were futile. The highest he did was scream and curse at them.“Tie him on the electric chair,” came an order. The man wasn't even panicked by it. They weren't going to oil him because they needed answers so nothing they did scared him.After tying him to the chair. They bathe him with water. His heart heart accelerated a little. He knew what electricity and water could do and frankly, he didn't want to experience it. “Are you ready to talk?” He was given a last chance.“Never!” “Perfect.” T

Zion?
“Mommy!” Helen heard from a distance.“Mommy, wake up!” She heard again. There was a slight pounding in her head. She was surrounded by darkness.“Mommy, wake up!!” It sounded so much like Elaine. She could feel the girl shaking her but she couldn't see her. “Mommy!”Helen tried to speak but her mouth was not cooperating. It felt like it had been sewn shut.There was another voice in the background. It didn't sound like Elaine’s but there was a familiar feel to it. Her hazy mind couldn't comprehend anything at that moment. Even her mind was struggling to process her situation. Why couldn't she open her eyes? It was obvious now that she wasn't in the dark, she was still unconscious. “Mommy!!” The little girl was weeping now. Helen struggled to get her eyes open. To tell the girl that she was fine. That everything would be fine.“Is Mommy dead?” She heard that familiar voice.“No, she's not. Look here, she's breathing.”Helen was a little relieved. At least her little girl was sensib

Mole
Elizabeth arrived at the office looking tacky which was so unlike her. Zion followed her into her office curiously. She'd never been an hour to work before and definitely not looking the way she did now. The eye bags were evident and her lips were chapped coupled with the rough ponytail she had on. She looked sick.“Good morning, ma'am," Zion greeted but she gave a mere nod in response. “Uhm… is everytime alright? You don't look fine. Yesterday, you left the office suddenly and today you look like a mess,” he observed. Elizabeth glanced at him before scampering through the files on her desk. “Ma'am, I know you might not feel the need to talk to me after my behavior yesterday and I apologize. I just had a lot going on so I might have taken out some of the frustration on you," he said lowly.“What makes you think this is about you? Look, Zion, you are just an intern here and I advice you focus on what you're here for. Don't bother yourself about me, I'll be fine," she said coldly.

Poisoned
Zachary and Zade were at the prison in less than an hour to retrieve the body. The body was still warm suggesting that he just died recently.Elizabeth wasn't with them. She had gone in search of Helen as soon as she got off the phone with Zade. Zachary made sure she was heavily guarded. He didn't want anything to happen to her too.“So, may I know why my son who was entrusted in your care is lying lifeless on the floor,” he asked the chief officer.The man exchanged frightful glances with his colleagues. Words could not express how much trouble he'd gotten himself into. He was in the comfort of his home, ready to have dinner with his kids when the officers informed him of the situation.“We… we are working on it, sir. We don't know what killed him but I assure you I will get to the bottom of this,” the man shakily responded.“Not the response I want to hear. I'll ask you again. Why is the man who was entrusted in your care lying lifelessly on the floor?” Zachary asked again, his to

Murder
Her heart picked up as she noticed this strange car taking every turn she took. Once she arrived home, the car sped past but Elizabeth knew it wasn't completely gone. Hurrying to her father's room since her room was bugged, she took a look out the window. Just as she thought, it was packed at the other side of the road, directly facing her house. Elizabeth tried to make out the figure in the car but she couldn't tell who the driver if the driver was male or female because the glasses were tinted. With this person monitoring her, it was unsafe for her to stay home. Who knew how many cameras they planted in there. Shooting her father a quick text, she exited the house with two bodyguards. Her next destination was her grandfather's house. If she went to one of her penthouses or another mansion or even called someone to check the bugs in her room, it was very possible they could use it as an opening to plant more. Releasing the nudes was no problem. Anyone could tell from the footag

Stalker
Elizabeth was signing documents with Zion on the other side of the room answering emails. “Zion,” she called. “I'm not doing anything after work. If it's okay by you, I'd like to see Noah afterward.”There was no response from him. She looked up and found him buried in work. Of course, he wouldn't hear her. It was childish but she folded a paper plane and threw it at him. He looked up with a mortified expression that almost sent her wheezing in laughter.“I suppose that would be funny to you,” he said dryly.“Come on, you don't have to be so uptight. I only threw the plane at you because you were too engrossed in work to hear me,” she said lightly. His brows knotted together in displeasure. He was not enjoying the conversation.“I couldn't hear you because I am deaf,” he gritted. “Why are you being so cranky today? First, you get upset over a little joke and now, you're making it seem like I'm making fun of your disability and I don't like that. I was only asking if I could come o

Denial
“I am not dead yet, there is no need for y'all to pamper me,” Zachary complained.“We know you're fine, father, we just don't care. You just woke up and it is only right we take care of you until you are strong enough and well rested,” Elizabeth said. Zachary didn't like the sound of that. He did not like to be babied.“I don't plan to spend another day here. All you need to do is sign my discharge papers and I will be on my way…”“On your way to where?” Zade questioned. “Neither of us will sign those papers until we confirm you are fit to move.”“Fit to move? Was I diagnosed with paralysis? I can flex my legs as much as I want to. You kids are the ones making this a big deal,” He stated. “We don't care what you think. We will sign the papers only when we feel like,” Elizabeth crossed her arms stubbornly. Zachary glared at them, “If you don't sign those papers, I will…”“You’re smart, Grandpa. I expected you would understand that threatening us would not change anything,” Zade int
