Return Of The General 10.

Order 1.

Elena stood outside of the family compound scared to walk inside the living room,The Death stare she would receive from her family member was creeping to her. The Norman family clearly wanted different ways to try and get to Elena but she was going to take care of things herself that's why she was here.

" Elena why are you outside? Elena's mom asked.

" Mom… Nothing I just got down from a taxi actually,Elena lied.

" Ohhh I see, How was the ride here ? Her mom asked. Elena's mother wasn't in support of how her daughter was being treated but she had no choice she was playing the submissive wife role.

" Just a normal ride, Elena sighed.

" Elena..Her Mon dragged her to a corner and checked if anyone was coming or could see them.

" Mom is everything alright? Elena asked surprised on how her mom kept checking every corner.

" I want you to know that I am on your side, You didn't deserve what Brett and his family did to you and I feel very ashame for your father because he couldn't make a decision as a father figure, Elena's Mom said in a low tone and Elena kept nodding.

" Mom !!!! You didn't sure any remorse too , You stood there and watch when Dad embarrassed me and my husband, If you had my back you would have at least stood by me and listen to me but you out casted me just like dad and the others.. Even know you are scared to be seen discussing secretly with me.. Elena frowned.

" Hush.. Hush.. You are not permitted to talk about that useless thing in this property,That low life is the one causing the troubles we are having at home now and even with the investors, Brett doesn't want anything to do with us. You should be focused on how to get back on his good side and you dare talk about a husband,Who said you could get married to such?Her mom barked at her.

" And here I was thinking you are finally on my side and this is what I hear from you,Mom !!! That's just pathetic anyways I don't care if you guys didn't approve.. Salvador and I are married, Elena said and walked out.

" You need that order to seal that, Elena's mom sighed.

Elena hands and legs were shaking as she walked through the lobby and into the family sitting room which was used for most family business and important meetings.

" I receive your message, What's the emergency meeting??? Elena didn't want to act soft or bothered in front of them,She just wanted this to end and go back to the Vila where she has her peace of mind.

" Is this how you pay respect to your family???? Liliana asked.

" Coming from someone who I am five years older than.. Elena gave Liliana a warning look that put her in her place for now.

" Elena by now you should know why you are here,Mr Matador said without making eye contact with her.

" First of all I heard you attend the gala party,I see you are unharmed. Mt Matador said.

" Why ?? Did you pray I would get burnt away like the ashes from the fire.. Elena frowned.

" Elena!!! Elena's mom scold her.

" I am not surprised you have become rude and ill mannered you have mixed yourself with the poor class and with the wrong crowd..Mr Matador said shaking his head pitifully.

" At least in that poor status i sleep peacefully and I have my peace of mind,Elena frowned. She kept a straight face and she was going to maintain that face shape until the whole drama is over.

The whole Norman family now looked at Elena as the black sheep not only because she refused to sleep with Brett,It was also because she refused to obey his orders and she was the reason their family was Brett's number one target.

" You should be pleading for us not to disown you as a family member not raise your voice the way you like, Liliana stood up.

" I can take insults from anybody but not you, Lily I know you are so pained because you didn't have the chance to be intimate with Brett but why vent your anger on me... Elena taunted and Liliana bit her top lip in annoyance,She was already raging in annoyance and ready to pour out at Elena.

" Are you out of your senses,How dare you? She barked, Although what Elena said was true and was Liliana actual every day dream but she didn't say she wanted it to be heard especially now that the family is arranging a marriage with one of the country's best lawyers.

" What ?? Did I say anything that upset you..Elena snickered.

" Do we look like a joke to you???? Julius frowned.

" This isn't what I am here for.. Please what's the important thing that needed to be discussed, Elena rolled her eyes.

" We have two offers for you one of them is this..We need an order with the evergreen beverages company,A deal worth forty million dollars,In these past weeks the Ever green has been expanding their business and made room for orders,The Evergreen has always been a company we have dreamt and wished to work with so if you can get us that deal we might consider accepting your husband to the family but we also have one important request, We need you to get a marriage order from the Aloy court stating that your marriage has been approved by their marital court,Mr Matador said adjusting his glasses and puffed on his pipe

" What did you just say ??????? Elena trembled,Her family was surely setting her up. These are one of the most difficult companies to get an appointment and here they are talking about two orders.

" You heard him right.. Liliana smiled,She was actually mocking her. She knew it was impossible for someone like Elena and her so called husband to be even outside the Aloy court talk more of getting a marriage order or even a contract deal with Evergreen.. This was a forty million order,How on earth was she going to do it.

" You heard me right!!!! That's the only way we are going to let you be with that low life except that you are not married to him….Mr Matador said.

" If I get you guys right... You want me and my husband to get them to sign our marriage papers and bring home a forty million dollars order from evergreen beverages company, Elena stuttered.

" Yes that's absolutely what we mean... Liliana said.

" Are you out of your senses..I wasn't asking you,Dad !!! Really..Is all this necessary? I mean the Aloy court, Even you haven't stepped your foot in that court and you also said you guys have always dreamt about partnering with the Evergreen company but it has never happened so how then do you expect me to go about this, Elena frowned.

" That's why you should get an order from them,If you can't I will arrange papers to cancel that child's play you called a marriage and we will go back to plead with Brett, Simple and Easy..Mr Matador said.

" You know what !! Fine I will get the signature and by then when it's signed,I no longer want any one of you to say a word about my marriage,See you soon.. Elena walked out with so much confidence but she was trembling and shaking inside,How was she going to get contact with Aloy, Aloy was what was on her mind first, Evergreen was no different from Aloy,Her legs were shaky,She took a bus home.

Immediately she arrived at the villa,She still couldn't hide the confused look in her face,She was fighting back her tears because if she let them down she wsd going to feel like she has let her family get in her head,She was confused where did the family that was always caring and hoping for her to be better and happy when she was on wheelchair now. Why are they all turning their back on her now.

" What's going on???? Salvador tapped Elena's back from behind, Waking her up from her dreams of worry. She flinched a little and it was so obvious that something was wrong.

" Are you okay ???? Salvador asked again.

" Am so sorry for all the worries I have caused you, Elena had to start apologizing for what was yet to come and what had already happened,She couldn't imagine Salvador's face when he hears what her family is depending.

" You haven't caused any worries??? You don't look fine, Have you been crying??? What happened when you went to your family house???? Salvador asked.

" It's my family they are demanding a marriage and contract order, Elena took a deep breath.

" I don't understand.. Salvador knew what an order was but Elena hadn't gone into details..

" They are demanding if we want them to acknowledge us as husband and wife we need to get our marriage papers signed by the Aloy court and we need to get a contract order worth forty million dollars, Elena said looking at Salvador's face but to her greatest surprise,His face was just neutral,She couldn't read the emotions it was just blank.

" Wow.. Salvador said immediately.

" The marriage order from Aloy court and the contract order from Evergreen company, Elena said.

" If that's the only to get them to accept us then we have to do it right away, Salvador said.

" You don't understand!!! It's Aloy and Evergreen we are talking about here,It won't be easy at all,Not at all even senators and congressmen have to wait in line to see the secretary talk more less the managing director, Elena sighed.

" We have no option but to try and see,We won't know if we can do it or not without trying.. Salvador held Elena's hands and they took a stroll round the garden, Immediately Elena's mind flashed to someone.

" I know someone who can help us with the two companies,I met him while working with Brett..I did a little favor for him back then and he promised to return the favor..He works in both company part time at the legal team, He will be of great help.. Elena said.

" Let's Talk to him then….

At Elena's home,Her family was still seated and on about Elena's issue, They were surprised how confident Elena was about bringing the order home even though they asked Liliana to single handedly pick out to the most difficult to get in contact with.

" She's so confident but yet stupid..Let them try and fail only then will it be a proper time to laugh out loud,Liliana mocked.

" She still doesn't know what she's dealing with,The Aloy court is one of the biggest and most successful court in marital law history, Getting an order from them is very impossible and let's not even mention Evergreen company,They both don't even have the potentials to walk pass the company gate.. Julius frowned.

" What if she gets it then, Does that mean she won't be able to marry from the great five and we shall still remain in their black list, Laura said.

" That's impossible, Don't bother about her getting it because it's not going to happen,We should he working towards arranging a divorce plan for whatsoever they signed in that marriage papers,Mr Matador said puffing his pipe..

" If we can get her to do as Brett's pleases then once again their gates will be opened to us and we can still receive amazing deals and offers from the remains of the great five.. That's more than enough for us.. Julius said.

" That's what's going to happen because I picked those firms myself and I know how impossible it is to get an order from them.. Liliana smiled.
