Chapter 2 Two

Tears dropped from Elizabeth's eyes as she recalled the lovely moment she had with her family.

She walked back to her seat , opening the locker underneath her desk, she brought out a little box , and opened it.

Revealing a wristwatch, she stared keenly at it .

' I hope we meet again, so you can watch me ruin your family ' she stared at the watch with so much hatred in her eyes .

Putting the watch back into the little box , she threw the box back into the locker, resting her head on the chair. She closed her eyes .

Australia.

' please son , don't leave . Your mom needs you , stay for the sake of your mom ' A middle aged woman cried , trying to stop her son from leaving.

' I'm sorry mom , but i can't live under the same roof with this man. ' He stared at his father with so much disgust .

' Son please ' a man in his early 60° spoke with a pleading eyes.

' My name is Theo and I'm not your son , we have nothing in common. The only reason I'm here is because of mom , I have to go mom ' he pecked her on the cheek, heading out.

' Please don't leave your mom , come back home ' tears flowed down her eyes.

' I'm sorry mom , as long as this monster stays here in the house , I won't come back and also you are free to come stay with me' taking a last glance at his mom , he walked out.

' THEO' she rolled on the floor crying profusely.

' Stop it woman and get up ' The man yelled , she stood up staring at him angrily.

' I don't know why your son has so much hatred for , he wasn't this way . So whatever it is , start spilling it out ' she dragged his shirt tightly.

' Let go off me woman' he said, sounding pissed off.

' You go nowhere, whatever happened that day , you need to tell me ' she replied, not ready to give up.

' I don't know what you are talking about, now let go ' he pushed her off heading to his room. She sat on the floor crying.

Gesler residence

Theo car drove in , he walked out of the car.

' Marcus, take the car to the parking lot ' he walked in .

' Good morning sir ' the maids greeted

' Tell grace to make me something to eat , I will be leaving for the office soon' he walked up the stairs.

He got to his room , pulled off his clothes and went straight to the bathroom .

Few minutes later , he was out of the bathroom. He put on casual clothes .

He wore ripped jeans , a white shirt and a blue canvas. Staring at his reflection one last time , he walked down the stairs.

' is my food ready?' he asked

' Yes sir ' grace served his food .

In a few minutes, he was done eating.

He walked out , entering one his car but was stopped by Marcus ( his best bodyguard).

' Is there a problem?' Theo asked.

' You don't have to drive yourself, I will take you to the company ' Marcus said .

' No , it's okay ! You don't have to and also I want to be alone, ' he entered his car and drove out .

His house wasn't far from the company, in a few minutes he was at the office.

' Good morning sir ' Mrs Clark walked in .

' Good morning, what is my schedule for today ?' he asked, going through the file on his desk .

' Nothing for now and also , Montero fabrics sent an email. They want to partner with us ' he raised his head staring at her strangely.

' How is that possible? They kept refusing my offer to partner with them , so why the change of heart? ' he murmured but it was loud enough for Mrs Clark to hear .

' Maybe they decided to give us a try ' Mrs Clark responded .

' Okay, send a mail to them that will accept and can't wait to sign the contract '

' Okay sir ' Mrs Clark walked out .

He went to the files he was working on.

MONTERO FABRICS

Anita knocked on the door but got no response, she had no other choice but to talk in.

' Ma'am, ma'am,'' she called.

Elizabeth opens her eyes, glaring at her . If looks could kill, Anita would be dead by now.

' Didn't your parents teach you how to knock? ' she said, adjusting herself.

' I'm so sorry ma, i knocked but there was no response, so i decided to come in ' Anita replied fearfully.

' Whatever, what do you want?'

' Actually Lorentz company accepted our request and are eager to know when the contract would be signed ' Anita said , her head bowed. She dare not look Elizabeth in the eyes.

' I guess they are desperate to sign the contract ' Elizabeth smiled.

' Should i send the manager to Australia to sign the contract?' Anita asked.

' No , you don't have to , for now i don't know who is gonna represent the company

' Get ready, you will be leaving next week with whoever is going to represent the company,' Elizabeth said , her head resting on the chair and her eyes closed.

' okay ma ' Anita replied and ran out immediately.

Immediately Anita left , Elizabeth opened her eyes , she took a wine from the shelf , opened it and poured it in a glass cup . She stood and went to the window .

' you took the most precious thing in my life ( her parents) . You made my childhood meaningless, you killed my parents when they did nothing wrong ' she stared at the window, her eyes full of rage .

' I think it's time to pay my parents killer a visit ' she picked up the phone and put a call through her secretary.

' Make all necessary arrangements for my flight to Australia' she said in a stern tone as she sipped her wine .

MONTERO RESIDENCE.

' Nanny, I'm back ' Elizabeth yelled entering the house .

Her eyes roaming the living room in search of nanny Pamela, she pulled her shoe, tossed it aside , and threw her bag on the couch .

' where could she be ' she wondered

Nanny ' she yelled again,but this time more louder.

' I'm right here , can you stop yelling my name ' nanny Pamela said , coming out of the kitchen.

' Ohhh my gawd!! Thank goodness, I thought something bad happened to you ' Elizabeth replied feeling concerned.

' I'm perfectly okay , I was in the kitchen making your favorite ' nanny replied, dragging her to the kitchen .

' wow , it looks tasty! But I'm not hungry. I will have it tomorrow,' Elizabeth replied.

' Okay if you say so , I will pack them in the refrigerator ' nanny Pamela brought out containers to pack the food .

' Also before i forget, I will be traveling to Australia ' Elizabeth uttered making nanny mood changes to that of an angry Lion.

' Why do you wanna go there ? Are you still thinking of taking revenge? ' nanny Pamela yelled.

' off course not , I have given up on my revenge, I'm only going there for business purposes ? Elizabeth replied, hugging nanny Pamela. She knew fully well , she was lying but she couldn't afford to tell her , knowing she would stop her . Immediately a thought came to her mind.

She disengaged from the hug staring keenly at nanny Pamela.

' How do you know my parents' killer stays in Australia? ' she asked .

Nanny Pamela was shocked for a while but composed herself .

' actually , I saw it on television. They were talking about him , so i figured he stays in Australia ' Nanny pamela said , hoping she believes

' Okay ' Elizabeth said , making nanny Pamela sigh in relief.

' Goodnight nanny' Elizabeth pecked her , heading out the kitchen .

She got to her room , took a quick bath and slept off.
