Edward and his wife soon got the Elena's room, he searched around the room in a fit of rage.How could she do this to him? He thought bitterly. Cassy spoke up from the balcony." Seems like she climbed down, hope she doesn't sustain any injury." She sighed. Edward walked to the balcony, he looked at the pieces of clothing on the handrail, any thread of hope he had was shattered immediately, as he turned to look at his wife in shock and anger. He couldn't go down to ask the guards outside if she had stepped out of the house because Lucien was still waiting for them downstairs.
" Call her! He said to no one in particular, but Cassy quickly took the initiative to make the call. Unfortunately her phone was switched off.
"Come let's go see Lucien off , I'm sure he would not hold it against us, we'll just have to make the situation much lighter than it is". Juliet pulled her husband's arm.
Forlornly, he followed her downstairs, he soon managed to control the expression on his face. Juliet looked briefly at him before turning to the guests.
" Lucien we are so sorry to have to let you know that Elena.... She left for the orphanage she had been volunteering, when we gave her a call, she said that they had an emergency, though am not very happy with the idea, I understand where she's coming from, be she is a very caring woman, I'm do sorry for the inconveniences, I assure you that we'll create a day to come visit you our self with her". Edward looked at his wife as she lied through her teeth to save his reputation. His face brightened up a little bit.
" Lucien, we are so sorry for wasting your time, please accept our apologize". He added respectively. He couldn't afford to anger Lucien at that moment.
Lucien and the butler stood up.
" Very well then, maybe some other time". Lucien assured them patiently.
The only reason he was being patient with them was because he was becoming very interested in the eldest daughter of the Wilson's family. She obviously seemed to be giving the couples a very tough time.
"Thank you, Lucien, for being so understanding, we do appreciate you patience, we'll make sure to visit you before the end of this week".Juliet's soft voice rang.
Edward felt so pleased with the way she had handled the situation.
Lucien and the butler nodded, before making for the door.
When they got into the car packed outside, Lucien closed his eyes to rest as the butler drove slowly away.halfway through the journey, the man opened his eyes.
"I want you to look into today's matter, especially the hidden daughter, I want to everything about her by noon tomorrow"He ordered before closing his eyes as he adjusted his back on the seat.
The Wilson's couple looked at each other before a sigh of relief left them. They would never had thought that Elena would be so brave to pull such a stunt , and they had also not expected Lucien to be so understanding towards the issue.
" Come, let's go to the room, you look so tired". Juliet led him slowly to the room. Feeling so exhausted, he soon fell asleep.
Cassy sat in Elena's room reading a fashion magazine when she heard a sound coming from outside. Her mother had asked her to stay out in that room till Elena arrived, they were expecting her back home, that was why they had still let the clothes on the balcony be just where she had kept it.
She stood up quietly, walked straight to the window. She caught a glimpse of Elena's blue dress. She hid by the side.
The other girl unaware of another in the room climbed up the balcony quietly.
When she got into her room, she quickly made for the wardrobe, Cassy walked out.
" Mom!! Mom!!!!!." she shouted loudly before Elena noticed her presence in the room.
After climbing down the stairs, Elena had ran out of the house, the guards outside was unaware of the situation inside the house,si they had allowed her to walk out of the gate on her feet. She had gone a long distance before she remembered that she had left the house without any money, not ready to return back, she walked leisurely to a playground some miles away from the Wilson's mansion.
She sat on a bench looking at the children playing happily, she wished she could just be like them, free and without any worries. She remembered her mother whom she had a very feint memory of, she remembered her holding her hands while they walked in the playground singing poems together, she realised that the memory of her mother got weaker and weaker every single day.
After some hours, she decided to go back home to get some money from her wardrobe and she had forgotten to charge her phone the previous day.So she walked back home slowly, passing away her time, wondering whether father and his wife were up to at that moment. It was already sunset when she got back home, she was surprised to find the clothes she had tied down from the balcony still in the same position.
Had they not seen it? How was that even possible?? Letting down her guards, she climbed up the balcony, heading straight to the wardrobe.
She was about to put some Cash into a handbag when she heard a loud voice from behind her .
