LEGACY

"Did you see the way she was looking at me there?" Ella asks as she swings herself on the car's front seat. "She was giving me a look to kill for."

"We all saw that." Shamim whispers as he ignites the car and starts driving. "It's very obvious she has something to do with your father's death."

"I am so scared, now regretting my actions, I must confess. She doesn't look like she would sit back and do nothing."

"But she wouldn't be stupid enough to do that so early." Asma whispers from the back of the car.

"Regardless, I think we have to still plan a lot ahead of her." Abdullah insists.

"Ella, your father built a very strong legacy." Darifa says out of the bus. "Did you see how marvellous and prestigious the hospital is?"

"You call that legacy?" Ella asks and scoffs. "An hospital that only rich people can afford?" She shakes her head. "That is far from legacy to me."

"Young lady, what do you have in mind now?" Shamim asks more like stating.

"I plan to make exemptions for the lead privileged ones."

"Like what?" Darifa asks. "Allowing them get greater for free?"

"That will end up ruining the hospital, I will create a foundation."

"Create a foundation?" The entire team asks.

"Yes." Smith nods. "Thanks to my foster parents, I have been able to make a lot of money from my assets. I will use fifty percent of the profit I make from the assets every year to treat the less privilege at our hospital. The money is just sitting in my account anyways."

"I will support the foundation too." Shamim whispers grinning from ear to ear. "You reminded me of the old woman who almost lost her daughter to brain tumour because of money. I do not wish for that happen to anyone again."

Miss Smith turns to her friends in the back seat and asks. "What do you guys think? Will you also be part of this legacy?"

Darifa exhales sharply. "Rejecting the offer would be a serious crime." she says and smiles. "Let's save lives."

In a psychiatric hospital, Paul sits and watches the news without batting an eyelid or saying anything until the news came to an end. "I was right, she was Ella." He whispers to himself.

"Mr Paul, what are you doing there?" A man asks and moves closer to him in the hall way. "Why are you standing alone there?"

"I was just watching the news," He replies bluntly.

"What are you you watching the news for? It's if no use anyways,"

Paul looks at the man and sighs. "You know quite alright that I am not mentally derailed, don't you?"

"As far as everyone here is concerned, you are not mentally stable and you need attention." The man says with a tone of mockery.

"The rightful owner is back, I am sure you know she is going down now."

"What are you talking about?" The man asks with a frown.

"I don't know how much she promised to give you." He steps closer to him and the both of them can hear each other's breath. "My wife uses people, once she is done with you, she would discard you."

"It is very obvious you just want me to release you."

"Release me or not, You already wrote your own fate with your hands." Paul whispers and walks away.

"She shouldn't have done this." Vivian whispers as she watch the news. "This is so dangerous."

"It's getting more tensed." Andrew whispers as he pours himself a glass of wine. "We can't say it's getting more dangerous if she has plans ahead of her, but is she doesn't, then she is the most stupid lady on earth."

"Is there anything we can do to save her?"

"Save who?" He asks loudly but didn't wait for any replies. "Save the lady who already threatened our lives?" He scoffs. "I already informed madam Jessie about my arrival, and she asked me to come this evening."

"When did you call her?" Vivian asks again. "You didn't even inform me before doing anything."

Andrew drops his glass cup in annoyance. "Must I tell you everything?"

"Andrew!" She calls to put him in his place.

"Your biggest mistake is ever coming in contact with that woman."

"And yours? Being a murderer?" She asks and they lock eyes.

Andrew gently looks down and exhales deeply. "I am sorry." He whispers.

Vivian didn't say any word and just walks away.
