Yours, Never Again

When Victor sighted Eloise from afar, he ran to her and swept her off the ground gently, carrying her in a bridal style.

She hissed in pain, ” Are you okay? Should I call the ambulance or something?” He asked her as he was confused and scared.

“It’s just child labor. You can put me down, I can walk to the car myself, I just needed help to get up.”

“Shush. Let’s get going.” He carried her to the car, he took her door of the backseat.

“The seat belt in the passenger seat can take me. I am not that fat.”

Victor ignored her comment, and he put her down. He opened the door to the passenger seat for her to go in. She got in and fasten the seat belt.

Victor took her to the hospital

“What are their names?” Victoria asked Victor for the name of the twins over the phone.

“Elizabeth and Vincent.”

“Nice names, Eli and Vince.”

“When are you coming back home?”

“I don’t know V. I am happy here. I should have listened to you at first.”

“I am glad you didn’t. You weren’t a coward like me. I love you the way you are, I wish I had some bold ass balls like you.” He laughed. “Look at me and Eloise now. ”

“You guys would be fine. I am still working on Amelia’s case. I managed to track her records months before she was pregnant and I didn’t you see you around her. Then, the good news is her son has been visiting a clinic for minor treatment. You can collect his hair sample and run the DNA test.”

“Thank you. Chan also has led on it. I will tell him this too.”

“How’s mom?”

“She is fine. She would be leaving for Aunt Steph’s wedding soon with David.”

“Do you have to mention it?”

“Clear your mind quickly and get your ass back home.”

“Don’t pressure me. Where the fuck is Joseph? He is off the Radar, I can’t find him on earth. Did he take out my bugs? My Instincts tell me He slept with that Amelia.”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“Joe doesn’t womanize. You know that. Might be Jake. That boy was a hoe before Cecil tamed him.”

“Don’t let us jump to conclusions.”

“Chan is so close to getting answers. I need to get going, I want to be by Eloise’s side when she wakes up.”

“FaceTime me when she’s awake. I want to see Eli and Vince too.”

“Okay, dear.” I hung up.

I turned back to see Eloise standing behind me, and I fell on my back.

“You startled me.” Victor stood up. “Are you good?”

“Yes. That was Victoria, innit?”

“Yeah.”

“Are you down for a talk?”

“Sure. Wherever you are ready.”

“How about now?”

“Right now?” He stuttered. “If you want.” Eloise made a distasteful face at him. “Alright, Let’s talk.”

She sat on the bed and he moved the chair that was attached to the vanity table and he sat in front of her.

“Victor, I am sorry for not loving you enough. This doesn’t sound like I am sincere, but believe me, I am sincere.”

“Don’t ask me to take you back, Eloise.”

“I will not say that. I don’t deserve to say that. I have only blamed you for us.”

“You are not saying it right. I also have a lot to say. When you rejected me during our trip, why did you become the victim? You fucking broke my heart, then you came home to chicken out by getting addicted to smoking weed and drinking.”

“Look. I don’t know what to say. All I know is I didn’t mean all that I told Tory like that. I was feeling like you were pressuring me then. After we got back, I realized I was in love with you. I couldn’t come back.”

She continued. “I buried my love for you and worked my ass off, proving myself to no one exactly. Thank you for helping me with the case. I have always wanted to do that. I don’t know what I would have done if you weren’t there.”

“I don’t know what to say, Eloise.” He got up from the chair and open the curtains, revealing the huge glass window in the room.

“It’s fine. I would be going home tomorrow. ”

“You want to leave my place?”

“Do you have a reason for me to stay?”

“You do not have a reason to stay? Too bad I can’t let you leave with my kids.”

“I have not a problem with leaving them here. Since we are co-parenting, I will come and feed them whenever they are hungry. You could just call me then.”

His expression hardened, and he gave her a dirty look.

“I don’t mean that.” She blurted when she saw his expression. He went back to the bedside, He lean close to her face. The hot air that he breathe out fanned her neck and her heart started racing.

He took the car keys on the bed. He stood up. “LOL. I didn’t have plans to let you go. I am sorry, but I don’t think you can leave this house till our kids are much older than they are now.”

Eloise liked how he called their kids “Ours.” She got up from the bed, she pulled him close to her. “What are you doing?”

“I want to kiss you.”

“That won’t work on me ma’am. I am not your sex object, Eloise. You can’t just kiss me or sleep with me anytime you want.”

“You sound like you don’t enjoy it. Should I remind you?”

“Are you not sore?”

“True.” She burst into laughter. “A kiss will do. Just kiss me. You turned me on earlier.”

“When? How did you become this blunt?”

“When you leaned over me mf.”

His phone rang.

“I have to take this. It’s Chan.”

“Carry on.” She wriggled her eyebrows.

“Don’t look at me like that and don’t wriggle your eyebrow at me. Perv.”

She winked at him, and he ignored her to pick his call.

“What’s up, man?”

“I found who Amelia really is and who she had her son for. You are not the father of that boy, The proof here.” Chan replied to me.

“Let’s meet up this evening.”
