Love Beyond Control

Ella opened the room and peeped into it. She took a bucket from the bathroom and a rag she saw on the veranda while coming in. After filling the bucket with water, she mopped the room, living room, veranda and the stairs which were covered with Spirogyra. She took time to scrub the veranda and the stairs before using the rag to mop the floor and dried all the water. The floor was so clean in such a way that one will think it has just been renovated.

When she was done, she carefully took her time to weed all the grass around the house. She couldn’t finish it because it was night already.

After retiring back into the house, she took her bath and wore the same dress she had because that was the only one she had.

She looked at the old clock on the wall in the living room and it was already past 9:00PM and her husband and his brother were not yet back. She waited till 2:00 AM and finally slept off on the old sofa in the living room which was even shorter than her.

Early in the morning, Ella suddenly woke up as though she had remembered that she was waiting for someone.

As soon as she woke up, she checked the time and it was already past 8:00 AM. She yawned and held her stomach. She was very hungry and tired because she didn’t sleep well. She went into the small old kitchen which had just two plates, two small pots, a small bowl, two spoons, one knife, a stove and a small tray. The kitchen was literally empty. She checked around but there were no food stuffs and while her legs were still on the floor, she crossed her arms on the kitchen table in the middle of the kitchen before laying her head on her crossed arms. Tears rolled down her eyes. While she was still lying on the table, her stomach suddenly grumbled so loud that she almost jumped up in fear.

She went to the sink, opened the tap and used her hands to stop some running water from falling directly into the sink. As the water became much on her palms, she brought her mouth to the water on her palms and drank as much as possible. When she felt satisfied, she locked the tap and went out of the kitchen straight to the stairs in front of the living room.

She sat on the stairs and after basking in the sun for some time, she looked at the uncompleted bushy part of the house and the grass on the other part of the house seemed to have increased. She unconsciously frowned and kept her eyes fixed on the place. After looking at the grass for a moment, she stood up and slowly walked to the place and bent down to weed.

After what seemed like a year, she finally was done weeding and the house looked more presentable. She smiled cheerfully and walked back into the house and took her bath.

She was really very hungry so she just laid on the sofa in a complete state of abandonment and her eyes kept wandering around. She tried to sleep but the hunger was so much that she couldn’t sleep. She struggled and struggled but there was still no way for her to sleep and she finally stood up from the sofa and subconsciously went out of the house and roamed around the neighbourhood to see if she could get any job around but unfortunately, there were no jobs.

“There are no jobs in this neighbourhood. How do I get some money to buy some food stuff? This hunger is becoming unbearable. What should I do?”

Elion and Henry suddenly arrived at the house. Elion, who was sitting on the wheelchair, was the first person to witness the change in the environment. He was stunned how clean the surroundings of the house were. Henry, who had been focused on pushing Elion suddenly stopped and looked at the surroundings of the house in astonishment.

Henry smiled and nodded his head in satisfaction but his smile was cut short by Elion’s domineering voice.

“What’s funny?” A cold voice in front of him.

Henry came back to his senses and quickly replied.

“Nothing Young Master.” Replied Henry

“So you suddenly stopped pushing me for no reason?” Elion asked.

“I got carried away with the work Ella has done.” Henry responded gleefully.

“I didn’t know that it takes just a little cleaning up to warm your heart.” Elion said mockingly.

“Young Mas…”

“What did you just call me?”

“I’m sorry bro…”

“I’ve been ignoring you but I won’t take it lightly next time.”

Henry pushed Elion to the door and tried opening the door but realised that the door was locked. He looked for Ella around the house but couldn’t find her. He called out to her but she didn’t respond. Henry frowned and walked back to Elion.

“She’s not around.”

“She gave up just after a day?” Elion smiled victoriously before he continued.

“I knew she wouldn’t stand my heat.” Slut. Elion’s smile suddenly froze when he heard what Henry had just said.

“I don’t think she left bro, she might be around…”

“You are taking sites with a prostitute you don’t even know?” Ask Elion with so much anger in his voice.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

They waited for hours but Ella didn’t return.

“Let’s head back.”

“Bro, how can we just leave without knowing if she’s find or not?” Asked Henry.

“Say that again.” Elion almost got out of the wheelchair but readjusted when he saw Henry holding his wheelchair.

Henry quickly got hold of his wheelchair and pushed him back to the road.

Meanwhile Ella, who wasn’t far from the house, tried to reach out to them but her voice was very low because she was weak and her stomach was equally painful. She tried to walk fast to catch up with them but couldn’t, her vision became blurry and she lost consciousness and fell heavily to the ground.
