Twisted Fate

Greg squinted and a flush of guilt overshadowed his conscience. He had just reprimanded him for not looking after Ella and now, his sister is dead.

Atleast Ella was in a terrible state but she’s still alive. But his sister, if she’s really dead, then someone had indeed targeted them.

Rosa was shivering. She saw Alex Foster and for the first time, she was totally scared of looking into his eyes.

Alex Foster gently brought the phone down from his ears and stared at the phone in his hands as if he was going to read the next line of actions from it.

“Ella is your friend, both of you. I am leaving her under your watch” Alex declared and Greg felt moved to calm his broken heart.

But before he could say anything, Alex had stormed off.

Nicolas was furious. This is the first time Jim saw his face and knew he had been working for Nicolas Anderson.

Lisa too stood with her head bowed. Her father was scolding her and was furious with her as if he was going to tear her flesh off her bones.

Nicolas Anderson’s eyes were red spitting fire. What nonsense. These fools had ruined his plans.

How could Jim have injected his wife with an overdose of stimulant? Now, everyone would think she is dead and at the same time his wife was crushed by a truck.

Can’t they be smart for once? Who says they can not also reason with their heads. He was their thinking cap and simply because he didn’t give discreet instructions to them like a school teacher does to a pupil, they messed up, big time.

The frustrating part of it was that all the documents that Jim took from Alice’s closet were duplicates. The original copies were what they needed to claim it all.

Her Bank account had been frozen by only God knows who. The only thing that is useful to them were the gold and diamonds jewelleries that he stole away from her closet as well.

And now, his stupid daughter had stepped out of the truck without as much as a bit of cautiousness.

Before he realised her stupidity, the CCTV footage had been collected and now, she’s on the wanted list.

Now, she escaped jail and she was seen from the recording that she was responsible for the accident.

How much danger is she exposing herself to? This is going to be more complex than he had thought.

They must be on the watch out. For now, they both have to lie low until he thinks of ways to get them both out of the country.

Jackie couldn’t stop crying. Her daughter was shown on the TV as being responsible for Ella Smith’s accident.

And she readily believed it. Lisa was once sent to jail for conspiring with Bill Winston to take advantage of Alex Foster’s wife.

And now, she was captured by the camera and she’s on a most wanted list. How can Lisa get herself involved in criminality?

Jerome couldn’t console his mother because he was feeling terrible about it all. How can Lisa become so insensitive to his pleas?

He had pleaded with her to stay away from Alex Foster and his wife. If he loved her and desired to be with her for the rest of his life, he would never have chosen another woman above her.

And besides, she was with him not because she loved him but because Dad had planted her in the Foster’s family to ruin them eventually.

How can someone be so daft to follow such an instruction without using her head. How can she make herself a criminal that everyone was after.

“If Lisa is caught and sent to prison again, I will defy your pleas and expose Dad” Jerome declared and walked past his mother.

Jackie couldn’t rebuke him. Jerome was right. Lisa, her sweet daughter had been turned into a criminal by her own father and she couldn’t do anything to help her.

Her daughter’s future is blank.

Alex Foster arrived back at the hospital with Alice. She wasn’t dead like the servant had told him. The doctors examined her and declared that her life has not been snuffed out yet.

Someone had deliberately injected her while she slept and unfortunately it was an overdose. It would take a while, perhaps days before she regained consciousness.

But the fact that she’s not dead was soothing enough.

Ella had sustained a head injury and the doctors had operated on her. But then she slumped into a coma and the doctors said her chances of survival are minimal.

Alex Foster eventually went in to see her. He stayed by her bedside and saw her looking so pale and weak.

This is his girl, the one he gradually and unconsciously fell in love with without him realising it. His wife and the only woman his heart now beats for.

They had planned to have dinner together that evening. She had even promised him that he would prepare a sumptuous meal for them both and he intends to confess his love to her.

To tell her he loves her and what he was feeling for her, he had never felt so for any woman before.

But instead of having dinner together, she laid helpless on the hospital bed, unconscious and unaware of the fact that he stands by her bedside with a heavy heart.

If wishes ever come true, he wants his Ella back to life. She wants his woman back and never would he be parted from her.

At this time, Sarah already heard from the news what happened to her daughter. The worry and fearfulness in Sarah was like an insurmountable mountain.

She came rushing to the hospital to find her daughter. But then, they stood outside the transparent wall that separated them from the intensive care unit.

They saw Alex Foster was by Ella’s side. He seemed to be standing by her bedside longer than they had expected. He turned to them with his back.

“I want to see my daughter,”Sarah declared amidst whimpering. Rosa held in a hug and tried to console her.

“Ella would be fine. The doctor said she will be out of coma…” Rosa was consoling her. She’s simply acting to be strong before Sarah.

She had sobbed when Sarah hadn’t arrived. But now, she has to be strong and help Sarah to be strong as well.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Sarah stared at Alex in hatred. This had happened to her daughter because of him. If Ella had listened to her, and divorced Alex, she wouldn’t have been in such a life threatening condition.

Alex’s ex-girlfriend Lisa tried to kill Ella in her own blood. Thanks the Almighty that she narrowly escaped her scheme.

Greg stood by the sideline. He left the hospital when Alex left. He doesn’t want to be there with that woman whose heart is bleeding.

Rosa would take her pain and hostility out on him. And he had promised himself to stay away from her.

Returning, he saw Alex Foster through the transparent glass wall standing by his wife in her unconscious state.

He felt he was wrong for attacking him earlier. He was wounded, broken and in dismay.

His wife and sister, both in such a terrible state, no matter how strong and muscular in heart such a person is, he definitely would be moved.

He would apologise to him. But seeing Sarah and Rosa, both looking at the direction where Ella laid, she moved closer to console the older woman.

But before he could get to them, Alex had turned and walked out. Sarah let loose her grief and blamed Alex for what happened.

“This wouldn’t have happened if my daughter had listened to me…” Sarah blurted.
