Twisted Fate

Alex’s hoarse voice sends a shiver down Lisa Anderson and Bill Winston’s spine. They shivered literally and Bill’s fingers trembled.

They were done for. How can they escape the wrath of the President of the Foster cooperation?

Bill pretended to be surprised at Alex Foster’s question. He wanted to speak, his lips were shaking but no words came out of them.

“This is the last time, tell us what you have done to Ella?” Festus asked. He was staring at him with hostility but his stare wasn’t as scary as Alex.

“Sir, I don’t know why you are asking me that. I left you all at the party and came over here to relax. I don’t know where Ella…” Bill was pretending.

He wasn’t through with his words when Alex gave him a vicious kick. Bill staggered backwards and next, he spits blood.

When he tried to steadied himself, Alex pulled him by his collar and punched him by his nose.

This time, Bill fell backwards and groaned in pain. As he held his nose, writhing in pain, he felt a liquid substance coming out of his nostril.

When he touched it, it was blood. He was covered in sweat and he knew his nose was suddenly going to go enlarged and reddish.

Alex Foster’s blow was too severe for him to bear. He glared up at Alex who towered over him with his eyes spitting fire.

“Ella was my girlfriend until you took her away and got married to her…” Bill was not done talking when Alex gave him another heavy punch on his temple.

And this time, Bill felt his eyes dizzy and he gradually lost consciousness.

Festus went into the restroom and called Alex to come over. Before the latter did, he already carried Ella princessly and came out.

Alex Foster then turned and glared at Lisa “how dare conspire with someone else to scheme against my wife and in extension, myself?

You know what I am capable of doing to you, right? I will make you pay for what you have done today and I will do it, adding interest”

“I’m sorry Alex. She is the reason why all this is happening…” Lisa was pleading when Alex took Ella from Festus.

Just then, the security personnel going round the rooms stumbled upon them.

Alex took his wife and passed by them without a word. He got into the elevator as its door shut.

The next morning, Ella opened her eyes. Her eyes were dizzy and she had a splitting headache.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

She tried to sit up but felt pain in her hand. She looked and saw there was a cannula inserted in her hand and a drip on it.

She squinted and then looked around. She was in her room. Then suddenly she remembered what happened.

She had gone to the party with Alex. And then, she finished dancing with Festus. A waiter brought her a drink….

Ella became perplexed as she remembered the past. How did she eventually get home, was it Alex that brought her home?

A drip was being administered to her. What about Bill, did he do anything to hurt her? What happened to her then?

She doesn’t have a memory of anything that happened afterwards. She tried reaching her hand to get her phone but it slipped and fell to the floor.

Just then, Ms Cooker opened the door and came in. She saw Ella struggling to take her phone and went to her.

“Ma’am, how are you now?” Ms Cooker asked. Helping Ella with her phone. Before Ella could answer her, she continued ” Mr Foster has been worried and restless from the moment he brought you home”

Ella was pleased with Ms Cooker’s words. She smiled and asked how long she’s been unconscious?

Ms Cooker said since the previous evening. She was excited and told her how Mr Foster had sat by her bedside all night.

She soon said she would be right back. She needed to call the doctor and Mr Foster.

Ella remained on the bed and waited. Alex must have found her unconscious and brought her home. She hoped she hadn’t caused him any embarrassment at the party.

She heard the door open and Alex walked in, his expression was that of a worried person indeed.

Behind him was a doctor. He had a relaxed professional approach as he glanced at Ella and then he looked at the drip.

“How are you feeling now, Wifey?” Alex asked, getting close to Ella and taking her hand.

“I’m better, just a little weak,” Ella replied. She looked at the doctor who brought out his stethoscope and took a reading of her heartbeat.

He examined her further and next, removed the drip. “You have shown great improvement Mrs Foster. All you need to do is spend more time resting and then make sure you eat well” The doctor explained.

“Thank you doctor” Alex and appreciated. “She’s no longer in any harm’s way, right?” Alex inquired.

” The poison effect of the drugs have been detoxified. She only needs to rest and everything else will be fine” The doctor concluded.

Alex Foster thanked the doctor as he took his leave. Next, Alex handed the prescription the doctor gave him to Ms Cooker.

“Tell the steward to get all the drugs here immediately” he instructed.

Ms Cooker nodded, taking the piece of paper from him and walked out.

Now, only the couple were left alone. Alex supported Ella to sit up, placing a pillow to wedge her from behind.

“I’m sorry if I caused you any embarrassment..?
