Twisted Fate

Alex Foster got to the hospital to check on Ella. He didn’t come to see her again the previous evening. He wants to know how she was doing.

Sarah excused the couple as soon as Alex arrived and they exchanged greetings. Ella was expressionless, she doesn’t feel like smiling at Alex.

“I’m sorry” Alex apologised. He shouldn’t have acted that way despite knowing that Ella was just recovering.

“You think I love Greg?” Ella asked, turning and giving him a scrutinising stare. He always looks charming.

She had never seen Alex dressed in the same suit twice. From his suit to his shoes, he usually wears them once and she wouldn’t see him wear them again.

“No, you love me, Ella Smith. I know you do and I love you more”Alex declared.

Ella was shocked. He loves her and he knows she loves him too. She smiled and glanced at Alex.

“I love you so much baby”Alex confessed and went to her, crushing his lips on hers.

Ella kissed him back. It was brief but it was sincere and filled with love. Alex smiled, their love had been sealed with a kiss.

Two weeks later

Ella drove with Alex in his Lexus. He pulled her to himself and the former placed her head on his torso.

She had just been discharged from the hospital. She’s perfectly fine now, except that the doctor instructed her that she should continue using her medicine.

As they arrived at home, Alex came over and held the door for her to step out. He crossed his arms around her waist as he walked her into the mansion.

Ms. Cooker was surprised when he saw the boss and his wife. She had taken meals to the hospital for madam and Mr Foster had ordered her to give her only nutritious meal.

She had also seen how concerned Mr Foster was with his wife for the last couple of weeks. She knew a new beginning was going to emerge in their marriage.

“Welcome ma’am” Ms Cooker greeted going over to give Mr Foster a help but the latter refused. He told her not to get bothered, he would help her to the bedroom.

Ella could walk. In fact she is fine. The head jury was remaining just a pin point to dry before she was discharged. But Alex was treating her like a sickly person.

“I can walk by myself Alex” Ella declared, pushing Alex off and making everyone laugh.

Alex chuckled and said okay. As she got in, she was making her way to her room when Alex asked:

“Where are you going? That’s not the way to our bedroom” . Ella turned and smiled at him. They are now ready to give life, love and affection to their dead union.

When Ella got into Alex’s bedroom, it was like she was in a sophisticated five star hotel. The room was large with a sitting room and the bedroom interior.

She walked in and gradually went towards the bedroom. She looked at the door by the right and saw that it led to his study.

She was held by the hand as Alex let her into the bedroom.“This is our bedroom henceforth, you and I..”Alex announced and held her close to himself.

His lips came down on hers and they started kissing. Alex was great in whatever he did. Ella felt like she was going to collapse into his arms.

The kiss was intensified and Alex took possession of her mouth, locking their tongues and his hands pressed her lower body against his.

He suddenly pulled away.”You are not fully recovered” he said and made her sit down on the edge of the bed.

Ella felt like she was going to scold him. She loved what he was doing and he suddenly stopped. She subconsciously touched her lips and the sight of it made Alex chuckle.

“Take your time and rest as much as you can. Then we will plan a trip for our honeymoon” Alex declared.

*************

Few days later, Sarah came to check on Ella and brought someone else along. Ms. Cook told them to take a seat while she informed the madam.

Analdo Smith was surprised as well as happy at the affluence his daughter now experiences. Ella deserves to be happy after all she’s gone through.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Sarah had told him how she was alive that day. Thanks to Ella for standing by her mother when he had wandered away.

Sarah had never been to Alex Mansion before. This was her first time and she can’t help but confess that wealth has its categories.

Soon Ella came downstairs and her eyes caught sight of the man sitting by his mother. She walked closer and yelled into his face “Scrap!!”

Sarah stood up and clasped her hands together “Ella he has come back to us. Wouldn’t you be happy to have your father back”

Ella wasn’t listening to her mother. She was angry that now of all time should her father appear and her mother expected her to welcome him.

“Ella, listen to me. Your father had returned back to his family. We should forgive him and welcome him back into our hearts and lives” Sarah solicited.

“Why should I do that? Huh, mum tell me why I should open my heart and welcome dad back? When he left us and went away with his mistress did he know the gravity of the sufferings that our hearts endured?

He took all he had and left. He sold the house and left us empty and now that he looked wasted, drained and wrinkled, he came back skinny and malnourished and you said we should forgive him,?

What is wrong with you mum? How can you easily let go of all you went through simply because he claimed to have come back to you?”Ella snapped at her mom.

Sarah wanted to defend still but felt her voice choked. Ella was right, they had been through a lot these past few years after Analdo left them.

But she couldn’t help it when Father Kaitano pleaded on his behalf. He asked her to forgive him for the Lord’s sake. What else is left for her to do next.

“He is still your father, Ella. For the bond of the relationship we all shared, please forgive him…”Sarah kept pleading with Ella to forgive her father.

“Please honey, forgive your Father,” Alex’s deep masculine voice came from the top of the stairs.
