“Is that all the information you found about her?” Lisa Anderson asked, looking at the reports before her flippantly.
There was so much hatred that filled her heart. Is this all about the smelly thing who wants to share Alex with her?
“Yes, bossdy,” Lazarus answered. He stood before Lisa Anderson with his hands folded behind him.
He was an ex-convict which the Anderson’s family found to carry out their illegal deeds. He has several scars on his face that were left behind after cuts and stabs.
He is tall and huge with thick palms. Palms which have be hard from multiple tasks and punishment while he was in jail.
A wicked grin appeared on Lisa Anderson’s face. She would find every slight opportunity to put that bitch where she right belongs, at the sole of her feet.
“Fall out” Lisa Andersonmanded. Lazarus bowed slightly before her and left. Lisa took the reports again and went through it.
The battle line had been drawn. She must have seduced Alex for him to have nced at her. Such a smelly girl, that he had once humiliated before her.
Had Alex got her pregnant? Why the sudden wedding and quiet at that. But whatever, she won’t let them both enjoy their union, he must return to her.
The next one week, Alex didn’t return home. E would always return home at night and then go to school, return to her mother in the hospital.
She had been going in that circle of a week already. But it doesn’t bother her. Her mother was recovering fast and her academics had be a possibility again.
The doctor had examined her mother and said her spinal cord wasn’t affected at all. There is a 90% chance that she would be able to walk again.
Several therapists took turns in attending to Sarah. She was seeing improvement herself. She was following every step she was instructed to take and not a thing was instructed that she wouldn’t practise.
It was difficult at the beginning. But as she kept practising, taking every instruction seriously, she soon found it a little easy and it was getting easier every day.
It wasn’t something tedious, considering the fact that she was just recovering. She wasn’t stressed but she had to do the little physiotherapic exercise she was instructed to do.
But what made her restless was how her daughter got the money for her treatment. Where on Earth did E gotva loan or financial aid that supported her?
Twice, she had asked E but thetter refused to give her an eptable exnation. She would always tell her to rx, it’s all covered.
Covered by who?
Another week passed and Alex hadn’t returned. Sarah was discharged from the hospital and was offered Rotors as walking aids.
This helped her mobility greatly. And now that she finally returned home, she sat E down one evening and talked at length with her.
“Thank you E for saving my life and letting me have a second chance to live. You definitely must have been bothered when you saw that I was dying…” Sarah began.
She apologised for causing her so much worry. She didn’t mean to bother her, she just wants to pass away peacefully without having to add more burdens to the already existing ones on her shoulders.
Having said all that, she then asked the most bothersome question in her heart ” How did you get the money to pay for my hospital bills?”
She doesn’t understand her daughter anymore. Every night she goes away and returns the next day. She just hoped that her health condition hadn’t led her daughter to a worthless life.
E sighed.
She knew this moment was going toe. And now, the moment had trulye. She feared what her mother’s actions would be.
Would she approve of her decision or not? Will she scold her or she would understand why she did what she had to do.
“Tell me E, how you got the money,” Sarah repeated. She’s happy that she’s with her daughter again, but she must be concerned about how she got the money.
“I was worried mother that you would die if I didn’t find a way to source for the only means to save your life.
We needed a donor, so I opted to donate my kidney. But the surgery bills, how do I get it?
The only person I could think about at that time was Bill” E paused. She had gone to him but he showed her that day, his true colours.
She’s happy that eventually it wasn’t Bill who helped out. Otherwise, she would be a perpetual object of ridicule in the society.
“Bill? Oh my goodness. Why him” Sarah was unhappy. The same Bill who cheated on her daughter and despite that, he said horrible words at her without remorse.
E nodded. Her eyes were full of emotions when she thought about Bill’s shameless request.
“I had nowhere else to run to. I put my pride down and went to plead with him to lend me some money. But he refused.
No, he didn’t refuse. He agreed to give me the money but I must be willing to fulfil his request” E exined.
“And what was his request?” Sarah asked, her eyes almost popping out of its socket.
“I should have a one night stand with him!” E blurted. Saying it alone was shameless on her part. Such a disgusting idea.
Sarah was speechless.
Eventually E told her that someone offered to help her. As a result, she went into a contract with him.
When Sarah heard the word contract, she sighed for relief. So E will work to pay up the debt.
That’s way better than agreeing with what that rascal demanded. She’s so proud of her daughter, she would never make her lose face.
“Is that where you go every night? Besides, what kind of job does this fellow do?” Sarah asked.
This time, she was at ease. That means her daughter leaves the Foster corporation and resumes at her second work ce every night.
Isn’t that too much for her? She’s too young to be exposed to so much hardship. E was doing way better than she had expected.
“That’s where I go every night, yes. It’s not a job, mother, it’s marriage” E dered.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
Sarah just stared at her daughter. Her brain was yet to process E’s words. What is E saying, what does she mean it’s not a job but marriage?
What kind of marriage does E go for every night? Is she letting that fellow y around with her body?
“I don’t understand what you meant by marriage. What are you saying?” Sarah asked, this time, her voice was filled with fear.
E was quiet for a few seconds. This is what she dreaded the most, this is the time. From the tone her mother used when she asked her thest question, made her feel her mother would be mad at her.
“I am married, mother” She opened up.
Fear gripped Sarah. E is married! Just to save her life?
“You are what?” Sarah eximed.
Few hourster, E returned to Alex Mansion with a puffy face. She had sobbed, trying to calm her mother.
Her mother had eventually sent her out of her home. She said she must terminate her contract with that fellow, whoever he is.
The more she tried to calm her sobbing mother, the more Sarah refused to be calmed. She had no option than to return to Alex Mansion.
On arriving home, she discovered a party was on. The lights were on and everywhere was brightened. She heardughtering from the mansion.
Without being told, she knew Alex was home. For two weeks he wasn’t home and he didn’t tell her anything about his movement.
She pushed the door open and stepped in. At the sound of the door opening, everyone turned to look in the direction of the door.
They paused when they saw E. It’s a mini party that involves Alex and his friend Festus. Jane was there and of course, Lisa Anderson was there as well.
Two faces were there that E had never met. She nced at them all and said Hi to no one in particr.
She was going to walk away when Lisa Anderson said “E Smith, stop” she ordered.
She was going to put that girl where she belonged and it was starting already.
“You are Alex’s wife right?” She asked, snuggling herself into him as if, she was going to get herself glued to him.
She was at the same time staring at Alex from her split vision. He was not moved that she walked in and met him with another woman.
Jane was shocked that neither the husband nor the wife felt ufortable when they sighted each other.
She was going to know what exactly was going on. She was worried that E would walk in and find Alex flirting with another woman.
And when she really did, her heart beat almost skipped. But suddenly realising that she was weeping more than the bereaved, she calmed her worried heart.
Why would Lisa stop her again? And the irony of it all is that Alex didn’t give a damn, he was drinking from his ss of wine nonchntly.
E was in a bad mood already but decided to halt. Whatever Lisa Anderson had to say, she would just hear it and then walk away.
“You are still so young and not so bad looking though. But I must say besides being blindly fair, there isn’t anything attractive about you…”Lisa Anderson was saying when Jane couldn’t hold back, she coughed.
Quickly, she took a ss of water and sipped from it. Did Lisa Anderson say E was only fair and nothing else is attractive about her?
Isn’t E way more beautiful than her? How can someone pick on another person and invariably, exposing her unpleasant looks?
“Are you okay dear?” Lisa asked, pretending to be nice.
E just stood staring at her. She knew and quite understood Jane’s sudden interruption. But the stupid woman by Alex’s side doesn’t understand it.
“I heard your mother was suffering from a deadly disease? Did you marry Alex because you want his money to take care of your dying mother?
Your father was also a yboy or no, a y man. He disappeared with his pregnant mistress and left you and your poor mother alone…” Lisa asked with a grin.
“That’s enough Lisa” Festus intervened.
But Lisa pretended as if she didn’t hear him say a word. If Alex has no problem with her, Festus can fuck off.
“You are not even a graduate yet. And you forced yourself on my dear Alex. Tell me how you did it? You seduced him right?” Lisa asked, now satisfied that she had humiliated her and Alex said nothing.
It only means he did like her. He loves only her and every other woman can fuck off. She caressed Alex’s hair, totally showing superiority over E.
Festus red at Alex. He expected him to say something and not just remain quiet while Lisa humiliated his wife.
It might have been a contract Marriage, but it’s legal. She’s the young madam of the Foster family till the day she decides to divorce him.
Lisa had crossed every limit when she talked about E’s mother. Whatever existed between Alex and E was supposed to be between them alone.
“Tell me how you did it?” Lisa humiliated E further.
E nodded and started walking towards the centre of the sitting room where they were all drinking. She stood before Alex and red at him with eyes full of hatred.
Lisa was surprised at her audacity. Who the hell does she think she is?
As quickly as it took to brew a cup of tea, she took Alex ss wine from him and poured it into Lisa’s face.
“Ooouch” Lisa screamed.
Part of the wine split on Alex’s suit as well. While Lisa was trying to get a handkerchief, to clean her face, E pulled her up beside Alex from the cor of her armless blouse and gave her two good ps.
She was going to give her a third when Festus stood up and held her.
“It’s enough E” he said and loosened her grip on Lisa’s blouse.
Like a stalk of sand, Lisa fell backwards and this time, Alex moved away and she fell on the arms chair, rolled over and dum andnded on the floor.
“I don’t have any interest in your boyfriend whatsoever. He doesn’t impress me and he’s not my kind of man. He’s dirty and filthy for me.
But next time, if you try to humiliate me again, I will deal with you harder than what I just did. Don’t cross my paths” E warned.
She turned and red at Alex who still was trying to pour himself another wine. He behaved as if he wasn’t in that room.
While everyone was tense, he looked rxed with this kind of I don’t care attitude.
“Alex Foster, this marriage came to be after we both mutually agreed on it. The next time, any of your pawns dare to confront me, I will end it all.
So, tame your dog!”
