The Fallacy of Love CHAPTER 37: SURPRISE
The days seemed to be flying for Ella after she began working with her therapist. She had experienced a roller coaster of emotions as she walked with her therapist Susie who she now felt was a good friend. Susie had helped her go through the painful journey of transition from a victim to a warrior. It had not been easy to work with a therapist because the sessions brought out raw emotions that overwhelmed Ella. Sometimes, she wanted to give up and stop but when she looked back, she was always determined to move on. Each day, she managed to regain her sanity and she developed better mechanisms to cope and move forward. She was leaving one of her sessions one day when she bumped into someone she was not expecting to see.“Ella,” someone shouted from the parking lot. Ella turned and came face to face with Tracy. She had just stepped out of her car and she was holding a pack of food that looked like take away. “Tracy,” Ella said reluctantly. She suddenly felt a wave of fear as she looked

Ella sat back on the seat as though the breath had been knocked out of her lungs. Tracy’s words sounded like they were proof that she was the biggest fool in the world.“So the rent has been paying off the loan all along?” Ella asked.“Yes. The agent has been very active in marketing so occupancy rate has been at 95% all along. Most times it has been at 100,” Tracy continued.“That means that the rent has been more than enough for the instalments. I probably finished paying it off right on schedule with some change left over,” Ella said in shock. This meant that Ella had not needed Blake’s help to regain her property. The only thing that Kevin had sold was her personal residence. So Ella would have had enough money to rent a place and sustain herself while fighting for her house against Kevin’s fraudulent activity. “You told me that the rent had already been directed to the new owner’s account,” Ella said with fury.“We used your documentation to open a new account and channel all yo

Ella was driven home by Victoria and the driver as she went through the file presented by Tracy. Victoria noticed her disturbed expression and waited until Ella was ready to talk. But when they got to the house, Victoria stayed in the car. Ella knew she had to tell her everything now because she felt like she would explode if she kept things to herself.“See you later,” Victoria said to a troubled looking Ella. “You have to go to work?” Ella asked.“Yes. Is anything the matter?” Victoria asked.“We can talk later,” Ella said as she glanced at the driver. “Don’t worry about that. Get in. He will bring you back when I get to work,” Victoria said. Ella told her all that Tracy had confessed and Victoria reacted with a mixture of shock and anger.“Don’t trust that woman for a single second Ella. why did she suddenly decide to come clean now?” Victoria asked. “She said she was doing this to make things right,” Ella said.“Let her give you this address and then we will send someone th
The Fallacy of Love CHAPTER 40: EVERYTHING IS SO HARD
Several days had passed since Ella had abruptly ended her call with Eddie. He had tried to call and text her but she had not responded so he decided to give her some space. When two days went by without a word from her, he became impatient. Just as he was about to call her, a call from an unknown number came in. He quickly responded so as to get back to his main agenda.“Eddie, we need to talk,” the female caller said.“I thought that is what we are doing,” he said sarcastically. “I would take this more seriously if I were you,” she said. There was a trace of anger in her voice and she clicked her tongue when Eddie paused for a long time.“Please identify yourself and state your reason for calling,” Eddie said politely. He was not sure whether the caller was a client whose contact details he had not saved so he decided to reel back his impatience. “I’m Chantel,” she said. After a short pause, his impatience came rushing back but he forced himself to speak calmly.“How can I help yo
The Fallacy of Love CHAPTER1: WELCOME HOME?
The sun was beginning to set in the calm and quiet suburb with about 50 houses. Ella stepped out of her taxi to gaze at the lovely sunset on the horizon. She smiled to herself as she realised that she would enjoy this view for years to come. She looked at her beautiful two storey house with pride and walked towards the gate. She was surprised to see curtains already set up on the windows in the upper rooms. She had planned to furnish everything herself but she didn’t mind if Kevin had set things up for her. Besides, she didn’t mind saving some money. Just as she was about to ring the doorbell, a car hooted from behind her. She turned around and was surprised when she noticed that the car was two feet away from her. It seemed to be ready to enter her property. The driver looked at her with suspicion and she walked to his window. He rolled it down and looked her up and down. A beautiful woman who was wearing too much makeup looked at Ella harshly.“Can I help you?” the man asked.“I was
The Fallacy of Love CHAPTER 2: A PRICE TOO HIGH TO PAY
“Why is pretty aunty sad?” Jason asked his father. They watched as the beautiful young lady walked out of the gate. Her pleasant perfume lingered in the air even after she had closed the gate. She had an angelic face and a stunning full figure. If they had met under different circumstances, then Blake would have asked her out on a date.“She lost her way home,” Blake said as he picked up his son and they entered the house. He was beginning to regret buying this house. This was the fourth person who was claiming ownership over the same property. Although his lawyer was sure that the deal was above board, Blake was getting tired of the uninvited visitors.“Will you help her get home?” Jason asked as he hugged his father’s neck.“Sure. I gave her directions. She is on her way there,” Blake said. “Where is aunty Amanda?” he asked. Rose the nanny, came in and took Blake’s coat and briefcase. They were in the lounge and Blake couldn’t see Amanda anywhere.“She went upstairs,” Rose the nann

“I beg your pardon?” Ella asked in surprise.“I think you heard me well. Move in with me,” Blake said.“Why would I move in with you? I don’t understand,” Ella said.“You are a beautiful woman and I do not want to see you suffering,” Blake said as he pushed back a strand of hair from her face. The look in his eyes also said much more than any words could say.“You have no shame. Your wife and son are barely 10 meters away and you are making advances at me? And how exactly do you expect me to move in with a perfect stranger? You must be out of your mind,” Ella said standing up. Blake blocked her path so that she wouldn’t leave. She tried to push past him but he was too strong. She couldn’t help but notice his huge chest, handsome face and his intoxicating cologne. She had to admit that the man had very good taste in clothes as well. Ella took back her seat as she forced her attention back to the matter at hand. She couldn’t believe her mind was straying at a time like this.“Please let
The Fallacy of Love CHAPTER 4: THE LION'S DEN
“She is at your gate now sir.” Blake smiled to himself when he heard these words from a caller on the phone.“Alright. Wait until I get there,” Blake said and ended the call. Everything was falling into place. Ella had played into his trap exactly how he wanted it. He had hired someone to follow her all day. He had also made sure that he stayed one step ahead of her in everything she did. He was determined to have her move in with him no matter what the cost. A few minutes after he ended the call, Rose called to ask him if they should let Ella in. He authorised her entry and then he quickly left the office and began the drive home. His mind was racing as he wondered how he was going to pull this off. Ella seemed like a headstrong woman but he knew her independence was the only thing he could leverage against her. He had already put measures in place to make sure that she had no choice but to count on him. Ella was seated on the front porch when Blake got home. The seating area here
