"Esmeralda... Esmeralda…." Elias kept shouting at her but she didn't even bat an eye at him.
Linda glared at him, "So you are finally here jerk?"
"Uncle…. Uncle, please listen to me please!" this time he went after Robert.
"Let's talk tomorrow young man!" Robert said.
"No… not tomorrow…please listen to me,"
"No one is doing to listen to any of your bullshit jerk," Linda spurts angrily at him.
"But she drugged me… am really telling the truth, you have to believe me please!" Elias lied.
Linda: "…"
This jerk has the nerve to lie so shamelessly with so much audacity.
Esmeralda sighed after hearing what Elias said. She is tired of all his beautiful lies. No more just no more.
She made an exception and forgive him before but today, she isn't, no she won't, they are done and for good this time.
"Like I said earlier young man… let's talk tomorrow," Robert said and made sure both Esmeralda and Linda got into the car before he also gets in.
Elias was left standing there all alone, he lied and said Lexi was the one that drugged him, and he will continue with this lie tomorrow as well. His only hope is that they believe.
Elias turns back to the mansion only to see his parents standing at the door behind him. his father shook his head at him. And he very well knows why.
He slowly moves forward, "You are making sure you get her back and also earn Robert's trust again, or else am throwing you off to the streets."
Ivy Watson's heart shrinks, what, the streets? There is no way she is letting that happen. No way, she is going to allow her son to be thrown off to the streets like an orphan when she is still alive.
"I will fix this… I promise dad," Elias promises his father.
Patrick shook his head, "Better… you better do it!" and walked away.
"Come here, my boy…" Ivy said and hugged Elias "don't worry everything will be fine." She assured him.
"And I won't let your dad throw you out. okay?" she added and hugged him more.
"I know Mummy," Elias whispered in her ears and hugged her more tightly.

When Esmeralda, Linda, and Robert got home, "I want to be alone for now dad… let's talk tomorrow,"
"And Sis please don't disturb me please!" she turns to Linda.
"But you are not well Sis?" Linda protested
"And I need to stay with you… so forget about me leaving you alone because am staying with you tonight." Linda sternly said.
"Please!" Esmeralda pleads.
"No way am letting you be alone tonight… after what that jerk did."
"Dear, your sister is right, if you don't want to talk to anyone right now, we won't force you to but please let her stay with you tonight," Robert said to Esmeralda because he really won't want her to be alone tonight by herself.
God forbids, who knows what she will do to herself.
"Yes, and we are not staying alone tonight, we are going to stay with dad… because that jerk really hurt us today," Linda said as her tears continue to stream down her pretty face.
Esmeralda watched as her sister cried and blames herself for all this, if only she had broken this wedding off when he first cheated that day, then none of them will be miserable today right now.
And they won't be going through this emotional setback right now. It is all her fault all hers and no one else. She gave Elias the chance to hurt them like this.
Yes, they will stay with their father tonight just like old times when they were still young, no one was willing to stay in their bedrooms because of how scared of the darkness they both used to be.
Esmeralda smiled, Linda is the best ever there is…
"Alright then let's go girls," Robert said to his daughters, and they both head to his bedroom.
Both Esmeralda and Linda didn't even bother about changing their clothes, to hell with the damn clothes, they all wear just for today's madness to occur.
----
Mr. Fernandez's bedroom, Robert tossed his coat on the sofa and both his girls also took off their shoes, they both jump onto the bed.
Robert smiles, he is glad Esmeralda can still smile despite what took place today.
"Come on dad…" Linda calls out to Robert.
He joined them too and both Linda and Esmeralda lay their heads on his lap, he took a pillow and put it behind himself and lay his head on the pillow behind.
Robert watches as Linda slowly drifts to sleep as she continuously taps Esmeralda's hand. He smiled again. She is just cute; his child loves her sister more than anything else in this world.
And he knows she will help her sister recover from the emotional setback she just suffered. Robert planted kisses on both their foreheads and Esmeralda's tears profusely and continuously dropped.
Robert who is glad Esmeralda is crying it all out kissed her forehead once again. "Let it all out, dear." He whispered to her.
Esmeralda was only able to nod at her father's words.
And that is how the night went on, with her letting all her emotions out in her father's arms. The safest place she has always known since she was a child.
Robert made a mental note to not ever interfere in his daughter's love life again, he will make sure to only support them and wish for the best for them.
And here he was thinking of matching Petro and Linda together after Esmeralda gets married to Elias after a year. What if Petro also has someone he liked? Or even worst love? And he went ahead and pairs him with Linda. And they end up having a not peaceful and lovely marriage instead of a peaceful one?
And that will be all his fault if they were to never be happy all because he forced them into a union he thought they will be happy and leave in harmony….
