Twisted Fate

Ella was just saying when Alex interrupted her. He held both of her hands in his own large palm.

“This is not your fault at all. Perhaps it was mine. I was the one who compelled you to accompany me to the party.

Perhaps if I hadn’t, all this whole mess would never have happened. But I promise you that everyone involved in the act, would not go unpunished” Alex Foster assured her.

Ella sighed. There were so many emotions in his words. He seemed to regret it that he asked her to accompany him to the party.

“No, you didn’t know something unfair was going to happen. It was my fault that I wasn’t careful enough” Ella shifted the blame on herself too.

Alex Foster didn’t worry about the fact that he was holding her hands. In fact, he wasn’t interested in letting her go yet.

This woman has a golden heart, a heart he never knew existed in her being. He seemed to be attracted to her gentle nature and her charisma was worth praising.

“Rest. We will talk more later” Alex declared and pulled his hand away. He wanted to help her lie down but Ella shook her head in disapproval.

He said okay and was going to leave when Ella asked “will you help me find out who drugged me?” Ella asked.

“The culprits are in the police custody” Alex replied. She asked him for help and he was glad, for the first time, she did.

But before she ever asked him, he had helped her already. He would make sure those bastards spend the rest of their lives in regrets.

“Culprits? Who are they?” Ella asked.

“Bill Winston and Lisa Anderson” Alex disclosed.

Nicolas Anderson has tried all he could to have his daughter bailed, but couldn’t. His wife Jackie was in a rehabilitation centre and his daughter was in the police custody.

Jerome had sworn to murder him and damn the consequences if he doesn’t get his sister back home.

He and his son had suddenly become sworn enemies. Jerome had called him names and said he was the worst father the world had ever known.

His mother Jackie was in a Rehabilitation centre because she tried to protect him from being jailed as a result of domestic violence.

And now, at his instructions, his sister had gotten into a criminal act with the wrong person.

She sheepishly went ahead to fulfil his desires and the result of it was that she’s being locked up behind bars.

He must get her back home otherwise he would murder him. From the way Jerome threatened him, he might carry on with his threats and end up in a life imprisonment.

Nicolas Anderson was perplexed. The Police chief said Lisa will be jailed for conspiring against Mrs Foster and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

The only condition where Lisa can be set free is if Mr Foster dropped charges against her. In that case, she will be bailed and released to return home.

When Nicolas Anderson thought about the words of the police chief, he snared and became angry.

One thing he is certain about was that he cannot go to that boy and solicit for his daughter’s release. She would rather rot in jail than for him to do that.

Each move against this boy is always ending in futility. His father won over him once, now, he can’t believe that he cannot win against his son.

These Foster descendants are too strong for him to trample. But he must win this time, he must prove the strength of Anderson will prevail at the end.

Ella couldn’t stay still in her room. She wasn’t feeling sleepy anymore. She needed to place a call across to her mother.

Besides, she was supposed to keep an appointment with Mark Stone and also meet Greg.

She can’t remain in bed. She needed to be with someone, Alex probably hadn’t known that she had become a shareholder in his company.

She stood up, went to take her bath. Somehow she felt strengthened after the bath.

After dressing up, she called Greg. The latter was more than excited to receive Ella’s call. They agreed to meet at a quiet lovers resort.

Ella came to the kitchen, grabbed a glass of freshly brewed juice and drank it. She was leaving when Ms Cooker came in and saw her.

She was shocked to find Mrs Foster in the kitchen. What on Earth is she doing there when the doctor asked her to take a bed rest.

She looked all dressed up with a designer bag. Her makeup looks good on her. She looked attractive and sweet that one wouldn’t believe she was the sick woman that Mr Foster brought home the previous evening.

“Ms. Cooker, tell Alex I went to meet a friend,” Ella instructed flippantly. She walked delicately out of the kitchen and was almost out of the door when Ms Cooker asked;

” Where exactly are you going to ma’am? Mr Foster will frown at me for letting you out when you are not fully recovered”

Ella smiled. She turned back and placed her hands on Ms Cooker’s shoulders.”I will be fine”

Ella contemplated if she should tell Ms Cooker where she was going with Greg. But considering how he saved her from the misfortune plotted by Bill and Lisa, she decided to tell her.

“If Alex asked you, tell him I went to the lovers resort with a friend,” Ella said and bolted out of the door.

Ms Cooker’s forehead went stiff.

This was going to be an issue when Mr Foster stepped out of his study and couldn’t find Ella.

Ella walked a little distance and got a taxi. She boarded it and was gone. She was anticipating her meeting with Greg.

Greg had arrived at the resort and was waiting for Ella. As soon as he saw a taxi halt and a slender figure alighted, his face beamed with a smile.

She’s here as agreed. He would get her a car the next day. He doesn’t want her to ride in a taxi anymore.

She was going to become his woman soon. He can’t afford to let her be in any form of danger.

“Right here sweetheart” Greg said, beckoning to her.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
