Seated in the VVIP spot of the café were Montana and George, while the latter barely touched his drink, Montana gulped his wine avidly.“You don’t look excited,” he inquired, his gaze dimming on George, “What is the problem. Has your group started facing bankruptcy. Of course, you know who to run to . Ethan has always got your back. He is your boss…”“I just wish,” George sighed and stroked his hair thoughtfully. “My wife. Ella. I am losing her gradually. She is behaving insanely. She has lost respect for me , and talks to me the way she likes. I don’t know what has come over her…”“Ella?” Montana retorted, “I can’t believe it. Why would she disrespect you. Ella is the nicest woman I have seen . God gave you an angel for a wife. I really doubt if Ella can pull off such drama. ..”George tossed his head. “I am still in doubt as you, even Ethan had to walk me out of his mansion when I took sides with her. I know my wife. She craves me and loves me so much as much as I do. I guess someth

Once the Rolls Royce puttered into the compound, George remained frozen in his seat, eyes dilated. Face red and pale, lips trembling seeing those kids play with their toys. His breath raced the moment he dared to alight.His feet couldn’t even touch the ground. With shut eyes , he fought the knotting in his belly. He had told himself a awhile he wasn’t going to shed a tear not for one bit. Blinking repeatedly, he dared to accept the sucker.“Eric and Elvis?”Even his thought doubted it but his mind could still picture the confirmatory test result in that envelope.“Oh god…” a sniff, “This can’t be true… no…. no…” he sobbed in his mind as he coerced kept a studious stare at the kids running to him now with widespread arms.Like he had often done each time, he clicked back home. He couldn’t even touch them. Suddenly, as if the entire universe was paused, he had lost care and obsession for them.He just couldn’t.Even when he dared to touch them, the feelings were far-fetched, obsession

George stood with dilated eyes, staring with a cold smile curved on his lips while Ella gathered a few of her stuff, George stood with dilated eyes, staring with a cold smile curved on his lips while Ella gathered a few of her stuff and that of her kids.The ear-ringing silence hanging over them was impressive; each time the kids dared to get close to Georg, she would restrict them and warn them to stay around her.Later George sat with crossed legs, pouring his wine as he sipped with hard grin. She had stolen a glance at him, wondering why the smile on his face and the comfort he exuded. She expected him to pull some fuss, at least to quarrel her.Anyways, she had no reason to suspect him of anything, since they had only a few appearance in court for the final shut to their marriage. Done packing her stuffs, she wanted to make a move when Eric, sneaked to George and patted his legs.“Dad, where is mom taking us to. None of you is saying anything. What could be happening? Are you comi

Court room.Tranquility fused up the entire place. Eye rolled from corner to corner, everyone seemed to have waited impatiently for this day.News were already making round town about Ethan up in court room with another enemy. Most to the news trailed their feud to way back on campus when Ella broke his heart.Most of the news agencies had a field day to promote Ethan’s dominance and power over his haters. George was astonished; this was supposed to be his fight; he wondered how he was going to repay Ethan for having his back.He knew if not for Ethan, he wouldn’t have uncovered the true paternity of those kids. Perhaps by now he would be wallowing in a false paternity and parenthood, claiming to be a father when he wasn’t at all.In the front pew was Ethan, George while a few of Ethan’s guard sat behind. On the other pew was Ella, just very close to the duck, and a party of five armed police men who brought her to court sat around her like shield.All the while she had been taking a

Ella clung to his feet when the prison warden came for her; like her last breath, she clung to draw from it.“Through clenched teeth, she pleaded with Ethan. “Please, honey. Don’t do this to me. I beg of you. Recall what you promised me way back on campus. You have always preached forgiveness and told me you will forgive anyone that hurt you let alone the one you love….”At that Ethan paused, his face smeared with a disdain smile, chin reddening. He leaned toward her and held her face.“Let alone the one I love. I have carefully looked around but I can’t find the one I love,” he groaned into her sweaty face, her eyes dimming so pitiably to charm him into letting go, “Now hear me rephrase it. I can’t forgive anyone let alone the one I despise. Welcome to jail, pussy queen…”“No Ethan…please I beg of you … Ethan,” she wailed at the top of her voice as the policemen dragged her back to the duck, her voice snarling from wall to wall as everyone gazed expectantly upon the judge for the ver
