로그인Elvira’s POVI opened my eyes to see Calix staring at me with care, “You are awake,” He said as he helped me sit up. “What happened? I was speaking just now,” I pressed my hand against my head when a wave of pain began running through my head. “Don’t speak much,” Calix put a pillow behind me, “You couldn’t breathe so you passed out.” “Ohh….” “Don’t worry, all you need is rest and you will be fine,” Calix assured me. “I didn’t want to bring up the past but it was too much for me to bear, it felt like I was full,” I managed to say as the thought of Karisa wanting to kill me crossed my mind. “You don’t ever have to apologize for talking about your past,” Calix wrapped his hands around me, “You were hurt and I deeply understand,” he ran his hands through my hair, “You are carrying a burden, it must be too heavy, it’s time to let go of it and let me help you with it. I swear on my mother’s grave that I will protect you from her.” Having this kind of reassurance after a long time ma
Elvira’s POVAce ran to Karisa the moment Calix removed the fuse, “Karisa! Karisa can you hear me?” Ace said as he checked if she was breathing. I was scared and in shock. I wanted to walk closer to Karisa but for some reason, my legs couldn’t carry me. “Elvira are you okay?” Ace asked while his eyes were on Karisa, and I didn’t have the answer for him, “Are you in pain or anything like that?” “Call an ambulance!” Ace added. I managed to stand up, and with heavy steps I walked to where the landline was. With shaking hands, I picked up the telephone to make a call but someone took the phone from my mind. “Why are you acting so slow!” Ace yelled as he dialed the ambulance. I couldn’t even talk, my legs gave out on me and I fell to the ground. My eyes fell on Karisa and I saw blood on the floor, “She…. She is bleeding.” Ace who was explaining Karisa's medical condition over the phone dropped the phone and ran to Karisa. “Let’s take her to the hospital,” Ace said as he carried he
Elvira’s POV Now I’m trapped. Which decision do I make? What do I risk? I can’t think, I need another brain to think right now. “You should leave,” I concluded. “I will get back to you on this topic.” “There is nothing to get back to,” Ace said, “You of all people know how Karisa can be so it’s better to make a decision right now.” “Why are you doing this?” I questioned. Ace took a deep breath, “Because you are my sister.” “Why now?” I guess this alone revealed who I was. It didn’t even matter anymore, it was going to come out soon. Ace gently held my shoulder, “I want to treat you better than before, especially now that I have the chance to do it and I also want to protect you from Karisa.” I shrugged my shoulders and his hand fell off my shoulders, “If you haven’t found this result then you would have given a fuck about my existence.” Ace shook his head, “I have always cared for you but I didn’t know how to show it especially with the feud between you and my
Elvira’s POV The past few weeks have been hectic. Becky and Calix have been looking for evidence so I could live a normal life. I felt guilty towards my baby who couldn’t come into this world because of the cruel people I had in my life. I’m a mother, my baby here needs me more so I hope my baby in heaven understands. A soft knock came on the door, “I wanted to let you know that Mrs Karisa checked in for work.” Over the past few weeks, Karisa didn’t come in for work, only Casper did. He gave excuses for her but I know that wasn’t true but what could I do? “Is she fine now?” I asked Becky. Becky nodded her head in response, “Dr Ace, Karisa, and Leah are waiting to see you.” “Me? Why?” That was a surprise, “What do they want?”“They didn’t say,” Becky said. I stood up from the bed, “I shall go see them then,” I wrapped my robe around my body, and walked away. Ace, Leah, and Karisa were sitting downstairs in the living room waiting for me, “To what do I owe this visit?” Leah w
Elvira’s POVThey say the courtroom is normally a battlefield, but today it was extremely quiet on both sides, especially when Calix’s lawyer presented the evidence. Chloe didn’t look scared at all; Leah was confused, and Karisa was furious because the blame was put on her, but most importantly, Calix was proven innocent in front of the world. I stood in the parking lot waiting for Karisa, I walked closer to her the moment I saw her and said, “You said you didn’t know anything.” Karisa clenched her fist, “I still stand by what I said.” “Your name was called in court,” I added. Who was everyone trying to protect? Calix didn’t call out Chloe for a reason I don’t know and everything was put on Karisa. Crazily Karisa was still protecting Chloe. “So…..” “You plotted against my husband, do you think I would let it be okay like that?” I questioned, “I will make sure you pay for it.” Karisa took a step closer to me, her eyes scanning my face, “You both look so much alike but you don’t
Elvira’s POV I tossed and turned when I couldn’t sleep. I closed my eyes but it was obvious I was deceiving myself. I stood up to get my pills when the door opened and it was Calix standing by the door. “I told you it didn’t work that way,” He said as he entered the room and shut the door behind him. “Do you need something?” I questioned politely. Calix shook his head, “I think it works because we are comfortable with each other.” “Huh?” I think I was lost in what he was saying. Without another word, Calix climbed into the bed and pulled me back into it, “Let’s sleep.” We lay straight on the bed with our faces facing the ceiling and only our breaths could be heard in the room.“Maybe it’s because we are comfortable with each other,” Calix said, breaking the silence.“Yeah,” That was the only thing that came to my mind. I badly wanted to ask him about his relationship with Chloe but I had already promised I wouldn’t do it.“This can be our new sleeping arrangement,” Calix said a
Elvira’s POV I watched as he turned on the TV, “The world mourns as the eldest daughter-in-law of the president was found dead and burnt in her car,” A newscaster announced following the scene of the accident. I watched the scene in horror— how did I survive that?—then the man holding a cigaret
Elvira’s POV The sound of a machine beeping rang in my ears; I could hear water dripping, and no one's presence was felt. I tried to open my eyes but I felt intense pain in my eyelids. I tried to move but the pain was worse. I didn’t know where I was or who was around. I tried my best to move, “
Elvira’s POV My feet hurt; the heels I wore made my toes bleed. I was pregnant, yet I was made to wear this tight gown. A gown I could barely breathe in. They said my so-called husband and I were supposed to welcome the guest, but I was the only one standing by the entrance, welcoming the guest
Elvira’s POV The cab driver stopped in front of the place Karisa drove into and it was my Father-in-law’s hotel. That was weird. If she wanted to meet her boyfriend at the hotel, then she would have used our Father’s hotel. I paid the driver and came down from the car under the pouring rainfall
