WHO IS HELPING ELLA?

Jessie begins to walk up and down in annoyance and frustration. Even though the money wasn't hers, she acts as if it is hers. "I know Peter, he wouldn't be that careless to let just anyone have access to his accounts, so whoever did this must be close to him. Not just close, but so close." She suddenly stops walking and thinks about something again. "Could it be that Ella is still alive and she did this?" She dials a number and the person she is calling picks up almost immediately. "Tony!"

"Yes ma'am." Tony replies.

"I have a job for you."

"Really?"

"Yes." Jessie nods. "Though I assigned it to Andrew but since I haven't been able to contact him for a while so I have no choice than to give the task to you."

"Okay ma'am. Please tell me whatever it is." Tony says with a lot of interest.

"You know about the missing Ella?" Jessie asks.

"Isn't she the girl that by miracle escaped the massacre at her house when we pulled up?" Tony asks.

"Yes, she is." Jessie exhales deeply. "Find her and bring her to me, kill whoever you find with her on spot is that clear?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Make sure you do not touch Ella, I will kill her myself since she wish to battle with me." Jessie whispers in a devilish tone.

"Alright ma, no problem." Tony says and hangs up.

"I am sure this naive Ella girl didn't act alone, I am very sure of that." Jessie whispers to herself. "But who is helping her? Who is close to the smith that I am not aware of? Could it be…" she pauses for a while again. "Someone very close to that bastard Alex?"

Still questioning herself when Linda walks in reeking of alcohol. All Linda plans to do is to walk straight to her room ignoring her mom, but it wasn't successful.

"Won't you greet me?" Jessie asks.

Linda rolls her eyes already annoyed. "Good evening ma." She greets.

"Where are you coming from?" Jessie asks again.

"Why are you asking so many questions? Since when did you care about what I do in life? Aren't you only concerned of the hospital you stole from-"

Jessie stops her with a sound slap. "Shut it! You stupid imbecile, why do you think I am doing this? Who do you think will inherit the hospital?" She pauses and continues. "You!!!Linda you!!!! I am doing all these things for you and no one else. I don't want you to suffer or lack anything."

"Did I ask you to do all these things for me? Did I ask you to kill anyone for me? Did I even tell you I want to be a doctor?" Linda asks with tears and holding her cheek.

"You are going to be nothing but a doctor! A successful one, and I will make sure that happens. I will not die until I make you into the best doctor in earth." Jessie replies loudly.

"I guess you will have to live forever then mom, because I would never be a doctor in my life!" Linda retorts.

"You stupid thing! You are really an ingrate! You do not know how far I went to have this hospital in my hands do you?"

"Of course, I know how far you went." Linda pauses and scoffs. "You killed an entire family!! I am aware of that."

"Yes!" Jessie yells. "Yes I killed them, and I will do it again and again if I am giving a second chance because they all deserve it."

"I think you should look at yourself in the mirror. Because you are the most helpless and pitiful person on earth." Linda says and runs to her room.

Jessie breaks down on the couch close to her in tears, why is everyone against her. Andrew that is meant to be consoling her is nowhere to be found. "Why is it so difficult for me?" She asks herself in tears. "Even after all I have done I am still not relieved but I know I will feel better when I kill that good for nothing idiot called Ella. But come to think of it, the last time I saw her she was so timid and naive so I wonder how she still managed to be alive."

Paul walks in on his wife shedding tears on the couch. He wants to ignore her at first, but he remembers he had never seen her shed tears. "Why are you crying?" He asks.

"Why do I feel so lonely even after getting g rid of those who caused me pains? Why do I still feel wronged and helpless and still pained after all?" Jessie nags with tears.

"Killing them wasn't the solution, you have damaged so many things that can never be repaired." Paul sighs. "Instead of atoning for your sins, you are trying to kill Ella and take over the funds of the Smiths."

Jessie looks at her husband and frowns. "Were you eavesdropping when I was on call?"

"Does that really matter now?" Paul asks in return.

"Do not interfere in my business again you man, I blame myself for crying in your presence and telling you haw I deeply feel." Jessie says angrily.

"Please let's forget about the past and start afresh. Think of our daughter, she is too young to experience this things she is experiencing." Paul pleads.

"Forget about what?" Jessie scoffs and stands facing her husband. "I don't start what I know I can't finish. I started this battle and I will end it. Ella is still alive."

"What?" Paul says excitedly. "Where is she right now?"

"You are happy she is alive isn't it? Don't worry I will soon break her death news to you. I will make sure I kill her with my hands."

"Jessie, please stop. Don't do this to that young girl. I beg of you, she is just a child." Paul pleads again.

"Just a child?" Jessie asks and laughs. "Just a child and she transferred the entire smith funds to an unknown account? I will give her the death she is really seeking for." Jessie says and walks out.
