UNFORSEEN LOVE : EPISODE 31 – 40
Episode 40
By Kebby NG Media Services
Zoey pressed the doorbell again and waited for someone to open the door, she calculated two minutes and after two minutes she tried to press it again.
The door opened before she could and Elias was standing right in front of her. “Hi,” she said casually and waved her hand.
“What are you doing here?” He inquired instead. “Aren’t I going to go in?” She asked and he moved out of the way for her.
“Thanks,” she appreciated and walked inside the house, she stopped at a safe distance and watched Iris glare at her.
Not many people are aware of Elias’s return so it’s weird that a lady suddenly walked into the mansion acting like an old friend when they have just met.
Or could she have met Elias somewhere? Where could that be? Was it when he was missing? Where was he all those times? Iris asked in her head as she glared at Zoey who ignored her.
“What brings you here?” Elias asked. “Won’t I sit?” Zoey asked and Elias groaned.
He gestured at the sofa and Zoey sat on one, she rested her back and crossed her leg. “So, what brings you here?” He inquired sitting a little far from her.
“I heard you quit,” she blurted. “Shouldn’t I?” He asked.
“You gave us your word, how can you suddenly make such decisions? A life is depending on you,” she said and he scoffed.
‘I was right, they knew each other when he was missing. What were you doing during those times, Elias?’ She asked and narrowed her gaze at him.
“A Life is always depending on me, she didn’t think about that when she made that decision why should I consider her now?” He asked.
“You understand why she did that, you should not judge her as if you are clueless,” she replied. “I am not judging her, I might want to help if I know why I should,” he replied.
‘Why are they speaking casually to each other?’ Iris wondered.
“You have no reason? I thought that woman should be enough reason,” Zoey said. “It is… “
“What is holding you back? She is not going to repeat the same mistake I believe but you still don’t want to help. Do you know why she likes you?” Zoey asked.
‘Like? Who likes him?’ Iris wondered. “Because you are different, you understood the situation and were willing to help. She won’t bother you once you are done, I guarantee that,” Zoey uttered.
‘How can I treat her mother without getting into contact with her? I love her but I have a fiancee,’ he thought and glanced at Iris.
“This is simple, Elias,” she said. ‘No, it is complicated and only I understand why,’ he thought and sighed.
“The imposter is still in the house, he and his so-called son are planning something. We need you more than ever, you have to help her now,” Zoey pleaded.
“Fine, I’ll check up on her,” he agreed. “Thank you,” Zoey appreciated.
“When will be your visiting hours?” She asked. “I’m not sure, you should decide,” he said.
“You will resume work, won’t you?” Zoey asked and Iris groaned, she doesn’t like the gut of this strange lady.
“Yes,” he was hesitant in answering her. “You can come in your free period,” she said and he nodded in agreement.
“We are done here then,” she said and stood up. “Thanks for agreeing to help,” Zoey appreciated and stretch her hand forward for a shake.
Elias took it and that was all Iris could take, she stomp her feet on the ground intentionally. Zoey glanced at Elias who was also staring with his jaw touching the ground, Zoey had a blank expression on as she stared.
She knew that was the girl the twins were talking about. “Good afternoon,” Zoey greeted in the sweatiest voice but Iris rolled her eyes at her.
“I see you finally made good use of your eyes,” Iris uttered with anger-filled eyes and a frown. “My apologies for not acknowledging you earlier,” Zoey guessed she was mad because of that.
“Apology? Hey! What sort of id!ot barge into others’ house and apologize for not acknowledging the owner earlier?” Iris asked with so much anger, her eyes looked like they were on fire, she kept stomping her feet on the floor making a loud and annoying face.
“She apologized Iris,” Elias butt in. “I don’t need her pathetic apology, tell her to keep it to herself!” She snapped and storm out of the room.
“I’m sorry Zoey,” Elias apologized. “I should leave, I hope you can drop by later,” she said and left.
“Iris!” Elias growled, his voice coming out like that of an angry lion. Iris just humiliated him in front of a robot, what if she saved that moment and shows it to Romina.
“Iris!!!” He called in his prime voice. “Don’t tell my name that much or you might lose your voice,” she said nonchalantly and intentionally bump into him.
He pulled her back before she could go further and pinned her to the wall, he was so furious at her. He has never been that mad at her but at that moment, he felt unexplainable anger
“Why would you do that in front of a guest?” He inquired in a deep and scary voice, he almost could not recognise himself.
“A guest? You yelling at me because of that harlot?” She asked with a scoff and he held tightened his grip around her arms.
She whimpered in pain but he cared less, Iris stared into his eyes but she could not recognise the guy in front of him.
“I don’t want your $illy drama next time!” He thundered and left her, she hugged herself as fear engulfed her.
Her body trembled as his angry voice still rang in her head.

Romina was exhausted as she walked into the mansion. “Romina,” Mr. Zaragoza called and she furrowed her brows.
‘What is he doing here? Is Neil trying my patience?’ She asked thoughtfully and walked toward Mr. Zaragoza.
“How was your day?” He asked. “Good, I guess. Look, you don’t have to force yourself to be something you are not.
I don’t understand why you are still here but I told you son to get you out of my mansion, he is being unnecessarily stubborn as usual,” she concluded and brought out her phone while Mr. Zaragoza just stared.
Romina dialled his number and waited patiently for him to pick up, he didn’t pick up at first but she tried again.
“Hey, b@stard! What is he still doing here? Wasn’t I clear enough?” She asked immediately after he picked up.
“Just take care of him for a few more days, I’ll come to get him then,” he replied and Romina scoffed.
“Does my house looks like an elder’s home? Come and get him or I might just murder him, wearing my father’s face is so annoying!” She snapped at Neil and glared at Mr. Zaragoza.
“Can you do that?” Neil asked. “You think I’m bluffing? I’m going to kll him if you don’t get him out of here! You have until tomorrow afternoon!” She stated and hung the call.
“Romina,” Mr. Zaragoza called and she eyed him. “Don’t call my name with that face, don’t show yourself until he comes to get you too,” she ordered.
“Nanny Gloria!” Romina called and she rushed to the dining room. “Good evening Romina,” she greeted.
“Evening, I want to eat in my room and I’m not interested in any of these,” she eyed the food on the table and nanny Gloria understood.
Romina went to Mrs. Zaragoza’s room and met Zoey to check up on her. “Shouldn’t you be recharging?” Romina asked and sat at the edge of the bed.
“I still have enough battery to last the night,” she replied and turn to face her. “How was your day?”
“Good, how is she?” Romina asked. “Elias said she can have her surgery any moment from now,” she informed her.
“Surgery? Elias is going to help her?” Romina asked with a broad smile. “Yes, I guess he is trying to be a good guy,” she joked.
“Did you hear that mom? You will wake up soon and when you do we will take Neil down together,” she said with a smile.
“He will check up on her every day before the day of surgery is fixed. Your mon will get better soon,” Zoey assured her.
“Thank you, Zoey,” she appreciated. “You should rest, I’ll charge myself too,” she said and left, Romina covered her mother with the duvet and peck her hair.
“Dinner is ready Romina,” Nanny Gloria informed her and she left the room with nanny Gloria behind her, none of them remembered to lock the door.
Mr. Zaragoza who has been watching patiently rushed upstairs and went into the room. He fell on his butt as he saw the unconscious body on the bed.
