My heart skipped a beat and l knew right at that moment that l had to make him my man . Ellena said .
After the ball l began looking for information about my crush from the ball and l realised he was the heir to the Davids household.
Richard was to replace his father's place in the court and the power he held made me more in love with him.
I planned for days on how to approach him and make it look like an accident and when my plans where put in action.
Some ungrateful bitch from a middle class family snatched him away from me . I couldn't believe it when l stopped at his home pretending to have had a wrong address when the guards told me that their master was getting married today to that Rose .
I was so angry that l broke everything in my home but l made up my mind about one thing.
I would have this man no matter what .
It's no use crying over spilled milk , l will look for another way to get my man .
I have more power than her from a poor background.
I continued living my single life despite the many marriage proposals coming my way.
Until some years passed and l stumbled upon Richard's carriage on the road .
His carriage wheels had hit a rock and it got broken . His coach man was fixing it and he was just leaning against a tree .
The happiness l felt inside was incomparable to anything l had ever felt in my life.
Stop the carriage, l told my coach man so that l could finally make my presence known to Richard .
I stepped down from my carriage and approached my target.
Good day , My Lord.
I used my sweetest voice while talking to Richard.
Good day my Lady . He replied.
His cheekbones where high, thin pink lips , a well chiseled chin black hair.
Everything l wanted in a man.
You seem to have a little problem here . I asked .
Yes , he breathed out . My carriage has a problem but we are getting it fixed .
If you don't mind , l said slowly hoping that he will not reject my advances .
I would like to drop you off wherever you are going .
No it's fine my Lady , my coachman is getting it fixed . He sweetly rejected me but l wasn't going to accept it.
Ohh Mr. Davids , it will take a while for the carriage to be fixed you may go with the young lady. The coach man said .
I was happy for what the coach man said atleast it saved me from begging him like a fool. I should use this chance and make a good impression on him .
It's okay Harry , get it fixed and return to the estate, Richard said to his coachman.
Let's go my Lady . He addressed me .
Okay , l blushed at his words .So where do you want us to drop you off my Lord.
You can just call me Richard .
Am from the Davids household.
Ohh wow l have heard a lot about your father .
Yeah, he is a hardworking man.
Yes , my name is Ellena Collins .
Wow, What a beautiful name for a beautiful young lady .
A blush crept on my cheeks. He said am beautiful and l had to control myself since Richard was sitting opposite me in the carriage.
Thank you...Richard . I said with a smile .
From that day onwards we set up meetings and met at every opportunity we had until his friendship developed into love .
And with that l was able to replace Rose and her daughter from Richard's heart and now am the mistress of the David's household..
Ellena Davids .
I just have to remove Rose from the picture and marry off her useless daughter to any man willing to take her when she comes of age .
I know it will be a slow step since l have to tolerate her daughter up to maturity. I can't kill two people at once it will definitely bring suspicion so l have to act smart .
