" If he knows am here, he wouldn't like it my darling granddaughter " a woman spoke startling Elena from her thought. This was Mrs Clara John.
" Grandma " Elena said hugging her tightly.
" Okay , okay. Young lady am not really used to this side of you, I like that harsh, cold and strict side of you not this weakling " madam Clara commented taking her seat on the sofa near Elena's standing point.
" What do I do grandma ? " She asked tearfully once again, her heart was been shed to int tiny little bits.
" What do you mean by what do you do ? " Madam Clara asked.
" Oh grandma, I can't..... I have no strength left to keep fighting. I guess grandma already told you about it right? " She asked.
" Yes darling, even if your grandpa is a little grumpy. It doesn't mean he won't talk to me and moreover what does the report has to do with you ? " Madam Clara asked .
" Grandma ???, it says have got 18 months left " she responded.
" So ? Listen Elle, alot of things can be accomplished within the span of 18 months , life's can be made and lives can be destroyed within these 18 months " madam Clara lectured.
" You don't understand grandma and that ... That ..... That .... Annoying scum that calls himself Edward Jones had the guts to send me a marriage order, gosh grandma " she said angrily.
* Laughs out loudly *.
" Seriously Elle, you intrigue me " madam Clara said jokingly. " Young lady, don't you know your mate when you see him ? " She asked harshly getting up from her seat.
" Mates ??? ( Laughs coldly) Am I some Luna to recognize her Alpha? " Elena asked. " Look grandma, I don't want to get married not now or ever " Elena said harshly.
" Elle..... "
" Moreover grandma what good will getting married get me ? Uhu ?, listen Gramps, I have an undefined hate for Edward Jones. He ..... He ... Makes me want to puke at the mention of his name " she added.
" Seriously Elle ( clicks her tongue) , you don't know who Edward Jones is young lady, his not someone who gives up easily " madam Clara said.
" And do I care ? " She asked sarcastically.
* Knock knock *
" Excuse me, boss but you have a call " gab reported.
" Connect me " she ordered.
" Hello Elena" Edward voice came.
" Are you nuts Mr Edward? " She asked sharply.
" Nuts ? , listen Elena am asking you calmly meet me tomorrow 12pm prompt at Lois avenue. Understand ? " He asked.
" You are crazy " she screamed ending the call.
" You are the crazy one Elle " madam Clara said as she lit her cigarette.
* Blows *
" You need to calm down young lady, being annoyed would only spike your health the more. Just give him a chance for once in your life, give yourself a chance to be loved you are not a warrior " madam Clara said.
" Am a warrior grandma and a Viking rider for that matter, am giving to chance to no one " she concluded.
Ding a message entered her phone.
" Don't make me wait Elena ". Came Edwards message.
" Ugh " she murmured slamming her phone.
" Easy there, you don't want to die do you ? " Madam Clara asked.
* Picks up here telephone *.
" Hello doctor Sylvester, I want to opt for comfort home. Can i do that? " She asked.
" Sure miss very .... " The line got disconnected.
" Elena !!!!! " Madam Clara yelled. " What the fuck are you doing uhm, comfort home ? Do you even realize what you are doing ? " She asked feeling frustrated. It has never being easy dealing with Elena from the start.
" Yes grandma, am opting for comfort home ma. Am totally tired of all these back and forth life , I don't want to marry Edward nor any other person, I don't want to bring a cancer striking child to this evil world " she lamented.
" If your birth mother had this same thought, then you would never have be given birth " madam Clara said.
" She should have just gotten rid of me at the earliest stage " she cried
* Kappa * sounded the slap that rang bells in Elena ears, breaking the dam of unshed tears she has been holding.
" You ungrateful fellow, how stupid can you be. You are so crazy and sick, you useless fool , you are good for nothing , i don't know how john manage to tolerate your ranting but i wont ." madam Clara yelled at her feeling hurtful.
" Grand ma ... " She cried heavily. She avoided this conversation because she didn't want to cry, she never wanted to feel weak but here she was feeling utterly guilty and sad. " I never wanted this " she cried loudly.
" Am ... Am so sorry baby , i never wanted to yell at you baby " madam Clara cried. She loved Elena unconditionally and she never wanted to yell at her like this . " Listen baby, give Edward a chance okay " she added.
" But grandma, I don't want to get married , o .... Okay grandma " she agreed reluctantly.
" Good girl " madam Clara said. " Now get your ass off that chair and wash your face, you crazy nutjob ". She added.
" Yes ma'am " Elena responded swiftly.
" No matter what happens gab, she must meet with Edward. Understood? " She asked.
" Yes ma'am " .
" My darling Elena, am gonna help you shape your shapeless life not matter how stubborn you may be. I would do everything to help you. " She murmured.
* At the washroom *.
" Give him a chance Elle " kept ringing in her ears.
" Chance, I don't want to give anyone any sort of chance. Am just meeting him for Grandma's sake " she murmured.
" Baby, do you want to stay all day in that washroom? " Madam Clara said. It's being an hour since she got into that bathroom without coming out.
" Give me a sec Grandma " she replied quickly.
" Don't forget me Elle " came a man's voice as she felt the washroom confused.
" There you are darling, shall we ? " Madam Clara asked.
" Yes grandma " she replied.
* At Edwards house *
" She agreed sir, with a change of location sir. She will be meeting you at Luther resort " the man reported.
" Finally, after keeping me waiting " he murmured. " Who sent the message " he asked
" Madam Clara sir " the man knew it .
" I should have known " he smiled
