Twisted Fate

Festus caught Alex a few times, glancing at Ella. In sixty seconds, he could glance at her three times.

He chuckled. Maybe he doesn’t know himself, but he is definitely in love with Ella. He was already exhibiting traits and characteristics of someone in love.

As he glanced at Ella back then, both of them eyes locked, he was paying close attention to his eyes and what he saw was purely something genuine.

Alex smiles and laughs a lot when he is with his own peers. But that smile and looks he saw on him a while ago, were those sprouted out from a feminine attraction on him.

This time, he decided to glance at Ella’s direction and see why Alex couldn’t take his eyes off her when he saw Bill standing before Ella and Jane, with a glass of alcohol at hand.

He squinted. This guy was definitely Ella’s ex boyfriend. The one that broke up with her and made her feel hurt. What business does he have with Ella now?

He was thinking of what to say before walking away when he heard Alex declared “I’ll talk to you later”

Ella’s smiles dissipated when she saw Bill walk towards where she stood and Jane. She knew nothing good would come out from Bill Winston’s dirty lips.

“You look gorgeous my girl…” he wasn’t done with his words when he was suddenly interrupted.

“Mrs Foster” Ella corrected. He must have lost his mind to address her casually like she was his assistant.

Bill sneered. He would ensure he ruined Ella that her husband Alex Foster wouldn’t want to associate with her in the public again.

She stole the show when she walked in holding Alex Foster’s hand. She will be disgraced at that same party that night.

He would have said something else but Alex Foster walked over and the sight of him sent a cold shiver down his spine.

He bowed slightly and smiled to Ella, deliberately winked an eye on her before walking away.

“This Woman from the Smith family is a vicious bitch. She must have shared romantic moments with Bill Winston in the past, “Lady Lola said.

Lola is the first and only child of the Brabra family. Lola Brabra had been Lisa’s friend for over a decade. She knew of Lisa’s romance with Alex Foster and she envied her friend’s fortune.

But when she heard that Alex Foster had a secret wedding with Ella Smith, she was disappointed at Alex’s actions.

She was seeing Ella at such a close range after her marriage with Alex went public. She was a nobody when she met Alex.

Only now, does it appear that she was coming to the spotlight. Who knows or cares about the name Smith in the past. But she basked in the euphoria of Alex Foster’s name and influence.

“She was Bill Winston’s girlfriend until she got married to my man. She stole Alex from me because his wealth attracted her.

Secretly, she is still seeing Bill. She doesn’t love Alex Foster. Only I loved him. Alex couldn’t just open his eyes well and identify true love rather than let that poor thing take advantage of him” Lisa Anderson seethed.

“Then fight for your love. Get back the man you love, rather than stay aloof and watch her take the position that was supposed to be yours.

If I were you, I would fight her and take what is mine from her. She doesn’t deserve to be the woman by Alex Foster’s side” Regina James declared.

“Just let it go. He has made his choice. You can’t Force yourself on a man who publicly made it clear that he preferred someone else to you”Lola Brabra advised.

“How can you tell her to let him go? What kind of a friend are you Lola? Don’t you take pity on Lisa for the emotional trauma is going through right now?” Regina snapped at her friend.

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong in what I said,” Lola explained. This Regina is a terrible woman. How can she advise Lisa to take back Alex Foster who already got married to another woman.

“Whatever” Regina declared, turning her back to Lola. Lola is so dumb. No wonder she cannot get into any serious relationship at her age.

The celebrant went to the dance floor and invited every couple and lovers to join in. Bill suddenly disappeared taking advantage of the crowd.

It wasn’t long he joined the others again. Alex and Ella were dancing. Festus and Jane were also dancing.

As they danced, Alex’s eyes didn’t for once leave Ella’s eyes. They were immersed in each other until he decided to excuse himself.

Festus came over and started dancing with Ella. As they dance, Festus asked “Has Alex been treating you nicely of late?”

Ella smiled and said yes. She said she never knew Alex has a good side of him like he was showing towards her.

Festus said he wants her to see Alex Foster as a great guy. He wasn’t that bad like he made everyone believe. He is actually a nice guy.

Ella smiled and nodded. It wasn’t long, the dancing ended and Alex returned to join them. Alex looked ashen and his eyes became cold.

“Is everything alright?” Festus asked, looking at his friend whose face now looks like he was going to smached someone in pieces.

“Where is Ella?” Alex Foster asked, ignoring his friend’s question and looking around for his wife.

Festus squinted and then looked around. Ella was nowhere to be found. Jane was talking with some ladies and smiling.

“I left my wife with you and you danced with her. Where is she now?” Alex asked impatiently. He became restless.

If Ella isn’t there, she’s in danger. He heard the plot that someone plotted against her. He eavesdropped on a certain person’s conversation.

“Truly we danced together. But I wasn’t policing her. I don’t know where she is” Festus replied, now certain that something isn’t right.

Without waiting another minute, Festus went to Lisa and beckoned at her. He pulled her aside and asked her where Ella Smith was.

“She said she was going to calm herself in the restroom,” Jane answered innocently.

“Come along,” Festus declared and gently held her away from the crowd. “Where are you taking me to?” Jane asked, not knowing why her fiance asked her to come along.

“You go and check on her in the restroom”Festus declared.

“Why?” Jane asked, surprised what Festus said. Why going to check on Ella in the restroom?

“Ella might be missing,”Festus whispered.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
