Twisted Fate

Alex’s brow tilted.

She thought so unhealthy of him. If she woke up in the hospital rather than her bed and Jim isn’t by her side, it means he had done something to him, right?

His expressionless face gradually turned cold. He just stared at his sister and wondered how shocked she would be when she got to know the truth of what happened, which led her to the hospital.

“Where is Jim?” Alice asked. This time that hostility in her voice had given way to tenderness.

Jim is not a saint like she thought. At least now she knows and thanks to Alex who activated her thinking tentacles.

“Last night, you both had a tussle over only God knows what. And now, I am in the hospital without Him around. Have you been naughty towards him?” Alice demanded.

This time, she was like a sister scolding a younger brother for being naughty. She loved Alex very much but she also loves her husband.

“Hmmm last night” Alex muttered under his breath. He stared at his sister and saw she really looked fragile. She needed to stay calm and relaxed for the news ahead.

“You will soon know where Jim is. But for the time being, I am going to my wife. Stay calm and relaxed. By dawn, you will get all the answers to your questions” Alex declared and went away.

Alice squinted. At dawn. Within just a few hours after she slept, she ended up in the hospital. It’s not even dawn yet.

She would have wanted to ask Alex another question but he said he was going to Meet his wife. But why didn’t Ella accompany him to see her?

Anyways, he said till dawn. She looked at the clock on the wall and saw it’s past 2:30am.

That was a few hours ago. Now Alex was still by Ella’s side when he got notified that Nicolas had been arrested.

But when he heard that Jerome was also arrested and why, Alex felt sorry for Jackie.

But at the moment, he wants those criminals prosecuted. For attempting to kill Ella. But he must find out what the deal is all about Jim being stationed in his sister’s life.

Thirty minutes later, Festus arrived and Rosa came as well. They both brought Alex breakfast but he politely declined.

Sarah was with Rosa. She had insisted that she would stay in the hospital the previous night but Alex refused, insisting that Ella is his wife and his responsibility.

Greg had to insist that Sarah could go home. Now when she returned to the hospital the following morning, she was pleased how caring Alex was towards her daughter.

“Lisa had been arrested and those who are co-accomplice with her”Alex announced and for the first time, he saw a faint smile cross Sarah Smith’s face.

Festus and Rosa were happy as well. They were pleased. Lisa and her team would pay for what they had done to Ella and Khalid.

Two days later, Khalid was discharged from the hospital. He had told Alex about Lisa but then, the culprit had been arrested.

His injuries were not much and Alex asked his chauffeur to drive him home. He was glad when he heard that Khalid’s wife had a baby that morning.

Ella had also regained consciousness that morning. Her head was bandaged and she was weak and fragile.

Her sight was initially blurry but after some time, she could see clearly and the first person she recognized and found sitting by her bedside was Alex.

“Alex” she called weakly. She remembered all that happened and the last moment before she passed out.

She never thought she was ever going to see Alex again in this life. She thought she had Crossed to total Oblivion.

But opening her eyes to behold the last person she thought about before going blackout, she couldn’t help but let her tears out.

She loves him. But when that accident happened, she felt bad and regretted why she never told him how she felt about him.

But now, that life has given her a second chance, she will let him know that she loves him. She has never felt like this for anyone how she felt for him.

Alex glanced at his wife, lying on the bed. Yeah, it’s true, she called him, she indeed called him.

He thought his mind was talking and he almost mistook it as his imagination. But here she is, she’s opened her eyes, regained her consciousness.

“My love” Alex blurted without thinking twice. Whether she would agree to be called that or not, he doesn’t care at that moment.

He stood up quickly and went to her, holding her hand. Ella saw him smile. Alex smiled broadly as Ella had never seen.

When he called her his love, Ella’s tear wet face beamed with joy. What she was expecting is what he just called her.

“You are awake?” Alex said. It wasn’t a question. It’s a statement but it also sounded like a question.

He got closer to her and held her hand, holding it to his mouth, he kissed her hand. He’s never held her like this before.

“I thought, I was never going to see you again,” Ella said, smiling through her tears. “I wouldn’t be able to bear it if I lost you” Alex responded.

Then Alice walked in. She saw Alex holding Ella’s hand and she felt her belly sweet. This is happiness and it can only mean that the couple are in love.

She was coming to find Alex and apologise to her. After she got to know what Jim did, she didn’t know where to put her face before Alex.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

And her brother had deliberately avoided her with a warning that she must find her daughter and bring the little girl back from wherever that scum of a husband of hers had kept her.

Now, she found her daughter. Jim had taken her to an orphanage and left her there. Only when Alice was able to get her daughter back did she have the courage to come find Alex.

“Alex,”Alice called. She saw he was in a good mood and without waiting for Alex to respond, she went to him and hugged him from the back.

Alex kept his gaze on Ella but he frowned. Alice wouldn’t believe him when he told her he was finding it difficult to trust her boyfriend.

Against his will, she got married to Him, courtesy of their grandparents. Now, the truth is out and she would have paid for her foolishness with her life.

Ella saw the frown on Alex’s face which gradually turned chilly. Gently he placed Ella’s hand down and shrugged Alice off him.

“Don’t get me upset with you”Alex warned, turning to glance at his sister. At this time, Alice’s eyes had gone tear wet.

“I’m sorry. I should have listened to you back then. I was blinded by my love for him…” Alice pleaded.

“To be blinded by love is one thing but not to use your head is something entirely different…”Alex scolded.

“I’m sorry” Alice repeated until Alex felt his ears were full. Then Alice went to Ella giving her chin a featherlight kiss.

The doctors came over and checked on Ella. It was time for Ella to relax and take some rest. Alex kissed her temple and smiled before excusing himself.

When Alex got out, he announced to Greg and Sarah that Ella had regained consciousness.

Greg hugged Alex Foster like two old friends. For the first time, Alex felt that besides Festus, he’s got a new friend: Greg Wilson.

“I am happy for you dude” Greg declared, pulling away from the hug but his hands on Alex’s shoulders.

“I am extremely happy that you got your friend back”Alex chimed, his smile becoming broader.

“Thank you Alex” Sarah chimed, happy that her daughter had regained consciousness and she will be alright again.

But at the same time felt a rush of guilt as she remembered how she had blamed him. How she had asked her daughter to divorce him.

For the few days she’s got to see him often, she has no doubts about the fact that he loves her daughter. He really loves her.

“You don’t need to thank me, Ella is my wife…” Alex was saying when he suddenly was interrupted.

“I’m glad my daughter is alive!”
