THE BILLIONAIRE’S PERFECT MATE

The siblings were glad she finally came back to life and they couldn’t hide their joy as they smiled at her, with happiness, evident in their eyes. The doctor ran a cross-examination on Ellie and the results made the doctor confirmed that she was okay, only that, she would need some time to heal psychological and emotionally. It was as if Ellie wasn’t happy to have been resurrected back to life, as she was all gloomy and never put a smile on her face, no matter how hard Carla tried to make her laugh.

After few days of keeping tabs on her, the doctor concluded that she was fit to be discharged, although, he warned never for her to be left all alone, as she was not mentally fit yet. To avoid trying to take her own life, the doctor advised Kevin to watched her closely. He recommended some activities to be carried out, which will make her heal fast, mentally and psychological, and go back to her old and real self. One of the recommendations made was for her to be moved to a new environment, which the doctor thought, would make her let go of her past trauma and easily embrace the future.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Even after getting discharged from the hospital, Ellie always kept herself locked up in the house, never saying a word and would barely eat. She had given up on living and also, on getting revenge on the man who had turned her life upside down. She was living as a walking dead, with no enthusiasm to live and no goals to achieve. Her life had become a shambles. All she wanted was to reunite with her grandmother and mother and so, she tried taking her own life again. She tried committing suicide countless of times but each time, she got saved and what was more astonishing was, her baby was never affected and she kept growing inside of her, safe and strong. When she realized she couldn’t take her own life on her own will, she lived each of her days, waiting for the day death would finally take her away. But it seemed like that day, wouldn’t come anytime soon.

On her last attempt to take her own life, which she was miraculously saved, Kevin decided to take to he doctor’s advice and move her to a new environment, where she could start afresh. After informing Carla and she agreed, Kevin decided to inform Ellie and get her own opinion.

“Ellie, I know you have gone through a lot and I know you are still hurting, which is why you have been isolating yourself since the incidents happened. But you can’t keep hurting and isolating yourself for your baby’s sake. Think about her. Even if you do not have the strength and courage to live anymore, think about her and you will find the courage and the strength you need from within yourself,” Kevin said, looking into Ellie’s eyeballs, while holding her hands, waiting for her to respond but she never did. She sat on the floor in the room, resting her body on the wall. She was looking at Kevin in the eyes, but her mind wasn’t with him, as she never responded to him. She just kept staring at him, as if, she was just seeing him for the first time in her entire life. Her face was emotionless and no matter how hard Kevin tried to read her mind just to know what she was thinking, he couldn’t. When he realized she wouldn’t say a word, he continued.

“Ellie, you need to get a hold of yourself. Think about the love your mother showered on you before she died. Think of the special memories you spent with her. If your mother wasn’t strong for you, would you have created those special memories together? You know how it feels with your mother not being in your life anymore, do you want your child to feel the same way? I know you are too young to be a mother but you need to let go of your past and focus on your future, so you can be a good mother to your child. The doctor advised for us to move to a new environment as that will help you in healing as soon as possible. I have discussed about it with Carla and we will be moving after the end of the school quarter. I and Carla promise to support you in your motherhood journey. We will stand by you, just like siblings do. It’s a promise. Think about all I have said and let me know your opinion,” Kevin said, patting Ellie on her hands and walking out of the room, leaving her to her thoughts. It was as if Kevin’s words touched Ellie, as she broke out in tears after he left. It had been long she last cried and when Kevin heard her crying, he heaved a sigh of relief, as that was her, letting go of the emotions and pains, she had held within herself.

Just as they had discussed, they moved to a neighboring town after Carla’s end of the school quarter. Kevin had rented a mini apartment for them, which got Carla wondering, as to how Kevin was able to pay the rent for the apartment. Ellie too felt the same, but couldn’t probe him, as she was not emotionally okay. What they didn’t know was that, the lawyer had gotten in touch with Kevin, after having sold granny’s son’s apartment and the remaining money, after the lawyer had removed his fee, was handed over to Kevin. Hence, the reason he was able to afford such apartment. They all settled in; Carla got enrolled in a new school, Kevin got a new job as a driver in a building company, while Ellie stayed at home, watching as her baby grew in her belly and at the same time, getting her life back on the track. Everything was going on fine and the new environment seemed to have helped Ellie out a lot, as she was gradually returning back to her old self. And then, the day came, when she finally gave birth to her baby girl. She gave birth to her daughter, on the day she clocked 18.

After all the pains and agony she experienced, she eventually gave birth to her baby girl, in whom she found her courage. She had never planned to be a mother at the age of 18, but somehow, she was glad she did, after holding her baby in her arms. As she cradled her baby against her chest, she felt a deep sense of peace and contentment, a moment of pure joy amidst the challenges she was facing. Her baby’s soft breath against her skin, the gentle weight of her body in her arms, was a reminder of preciousness of life and the beauty of new beginnings. Despite the hardships she was facing at that moment, nothing else mattered to her. The love she felt for her was all encompassing, filling her heart to overflow with joy.

In the midst of her struggles, holding her brought a sense of purpose and strength and

she knew she would anything to nourish her with all the love she would ever need. She found solace in her and she realized that, no matter the hardships she may face, the love she has for her baby will always be a source of strength and comfort for her.

“She looks so beautiful. What will be she named?” Carla asked, gushing over the newborn, while beaming with joy.

“She sure is,” Kevin confirmed, also smiling.

“I think Ivory suits her perfectly well. She will be named Ivory”, Ellie said, smiling. She had decided to name her baby, after her late mother.

“What a beautiful name!!!! Can’t believe I am finally an aunt!!! Don’t worry Ivory, Aunt will take good care of you. Aunt is here to give you all the love you will be needing. I will make sure to be the best aunt ever,” Carla said childishly, which made both Ellie and Kevin laughed at her childishness. Carla took Ivory away from her mother’s arms and held her in her arms instead, walking around the house, while singing happily.

“Thank you for being strong for your daughter. Thank you for letting go of your pains and deciding to embrace the future ahead. Thank you for giving me such a sweet and beautiful daughter. I promise to raise her as my own and nourish her with all the love she needs. You are one strong lady I must say,”, Kevin said, holding Ellie’s hands and smiling at her after they had been left alone.

“Thank you, Kevin. Thank you for bringing me out of my caged past. If not for you, I wouldn’t have embraced the future ahead of me. Thank you for your support so far. I really do appreciate,” Ellie said, showing how grateful she was.

“There is no need to thank me, Ellie. It is my duty and responsibility to protect and care for the woman I love. I love you, Ellie,” Kevin declared, which got Ellie surprised and astonished.

“What are you saying, Kevin?” Ellie asked, trying to confirm if she had heard right.

“I love you right from the first day I set my eyes on you. I was astonished by the efforts you put in on the day we first met, just so you could save my life, despite not knowing me before. When we started to live in together as a family, I was scared of telling you about my feelings for you, as I thought it wasn’t right for me to fall in love with my sister. But after some time, I realized I couldn’t help it and couldn’t stop myself from falling in love with you. Anytime you are hurt, I also hurt with you and it broke my heart seeing tears in your eyes. When you tried killing yourself countless of times, I had imagined my life without you in it and I realized I wouldn’t be able to live without you. I love you so much, Ellie and I promise to cherish you and our daughter until my last breath. It’s a promise from me to you,” Kevin said, looking at shocked Ellie in the eyes, with his words hanging in the air. He smiled at Ellie but Ellie couldn’t return the smile, as she was still trying to process Kevin’s confession.

Kevin’s smile was all compassionate and filled with love and Ellie had truly thought, he was in love with her. But what Ellie never knew was that, there was a hidden goal behind that smile.

“Finally, my source of wealth has been born. I am just a few steps away from getting rich,” Kevin thought, still putting on his devilish smile, which Ellie had mistaken for that of love and compassion.

What do you think Kevin has up his sleeves? Has Ellie’s suffering finally ended? Will Ellie and Ivory be safe?
