Twisted Fate

Ella was saddened by the words she heard from Ms Cooker. How can someone experience so much pain in his twenty nine years of life?This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

By the time Ms Cooker finished talking, it wasn’t only her that sobbed, Ella also fought back her tears.

She was wrong to think of him so despicable. He was not as bad as she had thought when she married him.

She also remembered that he told Rubby that he doesn’t know why some people thought he was bad.

From that very moment, Ella made up her mind to help him. No wonder her first encounter with him, he was hostile towards her.

She would help him heal. She would make him see life in a new dimension. She would ensure he found love again, even if that love happens to be her.

Alex Foster went to the cemetery and went to see his mother. He stood before her tomb and remembered her last words.

“… I missed your dad so much. I can’t find any happiness in this life without him. I have to end it here and start anew with him…”

At that moment, she was already dying, the poison was already acting on her. She was bleeding from her nostril and her eyes were already Popping out.

Then she instructed him. She left him with an assignment. He was still working on it, trying to get the answers that he sought.

He was close to getting the answers already. He already had a clue of who was behind his father’s death.

Alice and her husband arrived. They both were dressed in black and came with a flower.

Besides the two siblings, only Jim was the third person who visited Charlotte’s tomb. The three of them stood, each talking to Charlotte separately.

Alice was four years younger than Alex. She was much younger when her mother died. Alex had stood by her, acting the role of both her mother and father.

Alex left and waited by his car. When Alice came to Meet him, with Jim behind her, she went to hug her brother.

“How have you been, Alice?” Alex asked, raising her face to look up at him. Her eyes were red and Alex’s eyes cannot be described better than hers.

“I have been fine. Why didn’t Ella come with you” Alice asked. If Jim can come along with her, why shouldn’t Ella come along with him?

“I didn’t tell her anything. I came all by myself” Alex replied, pulling her closer for a hug.

Like a whisper, Alice asked “Is Ella pregnant?” She didn’t know why she asked, but she really looked forward to hearing such good news.

Alex chuckled. Pregnant? Looks like his sister was full of expectations. Such is never going to happen between himself and Ella Smith.

“No, she’s not,” he replied, kissing her temple and letting her go. He glanced over her head and said hi to Jim, standing behind.

“Hi,” Jim replied and looked away. He knew his brother-in-law detest him. He hardly says anything to him besides the single syllable word Hi.

“Alex, please accept Jim as my husband for once. It’s been years already and I don’t feel comfortable with the cold shoulder you have always given to him” Alice pleaded.

“Please Alice, don’t start” Alex said and next said he would talk to her some other time.

Alex glanced at Jim, and saw his hostile gaze but he quickly dissolved it when he caught Alex glancing at him.

He doesn’t like Jim. There’s something about that guy that he hasn’t laid his hands on. His love for his sister often appears fake to him.

But Alice would not want to understand anything besides accepting Jim. That fellow was hiding something or he was after something.

It is either of the two. He must intensify his investigation and hire another private detective to investigate him.

The siblings said goodbye to each other and Alex’s chauffeur drove him off. Alice got into the car and Jim handled the steering.

“What can I do to make your brother accept me as your husband?” Jim asked, looking morose and unhappy.

It’s been two years since he and Alice were married. Alex was not at the wedding because he doesn’t approve of it.

Alice was already pregnant and since her grandparents approved of the union, they went ahead and had a quiet wedding.

But two years have passed and he still doesn’t regard him as a member of his family. What else does he want before he acknowledges him?

“Give him time, he will eventually come around”Alice assured and gently tapped Jim’s hand. She smiled beautifully at him, with her dimples radiating her beauty.

“Yeah, I guess so” Jim nodded, glanced at her briefly and smiled.

As they approached their Villa, Jim’s phone chirped and he glanced at the caller’s ID, he placed the phone down and didn’t answer it.

Why was the boss calling him now? This fool was sitting next to him and he wouldn’t be able to answer his phone.
