Twisted Fate

Why is she calling him? No matter what she says, the law must have its way. Because without being told, he could guess that she wants to seek leniency for her family.

“Ms Anderson” Alex called as soon as he answered the phone.”… yes… by 2pm at the Foster cooperation…” Alex placed his phone by his side.

Jackie Anderson wants to see him. Well, if she wants to, then she should meet him in his office. She can find him there.

***************

“…. I have paid for my sins, Sarah. I lost everything I have except my life. I was in jail for two years and when I regained my freedom, I didn’t find my mistress.

I tried to locate where you and Ella lived after I returned to the city, but I couldn’t. Only after a few days of searching I discovered that Ella was married to Alex Foster and you are living comfortably.

Then I went into hiding. I couldn’t bear to bring my face before you and our daughter. But I saw it in the news that Alex Foster’s wife was involved in a ghastly motor accident.

That was when I came to check on Ella secretly. I was afraid that she would die and I went to the cathedral to pray for her. After I returned I heard the doctor discussing amongst themselves that Ella had regained consciousness.

Please forgive me Sarah. I know I have wronged you and Ella…”Analdo Smith was apologising when Sarah interrupted him.

“That is enough. I don’t care whatever has befallen you, that’s your cup of coffee. I just want you to stay away from my daughter and I.

We don’t have anything to do with you anymore. You are in our past and dead to us. So please stay away from us, Analdo Smith!” Sarah yelled at him.

She glared at him in disdain. Who cares if he was sentenced to death and spent the rest of his life in jail?

He should have been shot dead. After all, the effect of his actions almost sent her to an early grave. She would have died, hadn’t it not been for the amazing daughter she’s got.

Ella saved her life courtesy of Alex Foster. She would have indeed died. What if she had died, would he come to her grave to ask for forgiveness?

What good would that do for anyone? She doesn’t want to see him around her and her daughter. Her life had taken shape and she’s living normal again.

It is not this time that Analdo will return and ask her to forgive him. Now, she’s gradually returned to the Sarah she used to be before things fell apart.

She doesn’t need him in her life anymore. As for Ella, she could speak for her. She wouldn’t want to set her eyes on him ever again.

He should return to seek his mistress. The one that helped ruin his life. Let them come together again and merge their relationship. That’s the only option he’s got.

“Please Sarah, I am sorry” Analdo pleaded.

“Don’t you dare call my name ever again,”Sarah warned.

“Ms Sarah” The familiar voice called. Sarah raised her head and saw father Kaitano walking towards her.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“Greetings Father Kaitano”Sarah said, trying to calm her fury and forcing on a smile.

“May the Lord bless you,”Father Kaitano said. He got closer and saw Analdo Smith bent his head and his shirt was soaked in sweat.

On the contrary, Sarah was looking enraged like a boss lady whose subject had trespassed.

“How is Ella now?” Father Kaitano asked, trying to freshen the tense atmosphere between the couple.

Sarah was happy that father Kaitano asked after her daughter ” she’s regained consciousness, Father. Thank you for standing by me” she chimed.

“All thanks to the Virgin Mary,” Father Kaitano declared. He asked that they three should come over to his car.

Sarah eyed Analdo before walking behind the two men. She doesn’t want anyone to get involved or try to pacify her to forgive this womaniser.

But how can she reject father Kaitano? He’s being there for her and Ella all these years. She has to simply follow him and hear him out first.

When they got outside the hospital building, Father Kaitano made them stayed by his car and said “Ms Sarah, I am happy that Analdo came back to his senses and has returned to you and Ella”

“No Father. He didn’t come back to his senses, things turned around for him and he felt the only option left was to return to New York City” Sarah corrected.

Father Kaitano felt that what Sarah said was true. But even at that, he has returned back home. Her estranged husband had returned.

Whether he came back to his senses and returned or situation and circumstances forced him to come back, whichever way, what mattered is that he had returned.

“Analdo has asked the Lord to forgive him and made his confession. I want you also to find a place in your heart and forgive him” Father Kaitano coaxed Sarah.

“Oh no Father. I do not have a grudge against Analdo. My mind is clear and if he wants me to say it, I will”Sarah declared and turned to Analdo “I forgive you” she declared.

Father Kaitano felt he was watching a show. But the only difference in what he was watching now compared to the one he used to watch was that he was acting as an intermediary in the whole show.

“Since Ella got in the accident, Analdo has been spending every night in the cathedral and praying for her to recover.

He still loves you and Ella a lot. And it would be great if you both can be together again, for Ella’s sake.

His being through a lot and he has regretted his actions and repented of them also. Please forgive him for the Lord’s sake…”Father Kaitano pleaded.
