Chapter 98
THE NEXT DAY
Camille woke up very late that day. Levi went to prepare her bath and she freshened up.
“What happened?” She asked in a hoarse tone. She had already lost her voice as a result of the screams last night.
“You had a nightmare.” Levi said.
“That wasn’t a nightmare, it was real but ghosts aren’t real. Was I sleepwalking then?” She asked.
“Maybe.” Levi answered after struggling to hear what she was saying.
She looked to the side, and saw her stained cIothes. “My clothes!” She gasped. “It was real! It was actually real!” She ran to her bed and cuddled her pillow.
Levi just shook his head and watched her. Her phone rang and she screamed.
“It’s your phone.” Levi said.
She took the phone, and answered the call.
“It’s done!” The person at the other end said.
“What do you mean?” Camille asked.
“We’ve done what you asked us to do day before yesterday. We couldn’t do it yesterday because she didn’t bring her car to work but we were able to do it today.”
“I don’t un-derstand what you’re talking about.” Camille said and gestured for Levi to go make her tea because of her voice. Levi bowed and left.
“The lady you asked us to mess with her car brakes, Elena is her name.”
“Oh yeah! I forgot about that. Thanks.” She said and hung up.

GRAY’S OFFICE
Work hours were over, and Elena was arranging her desk.
“You would not be using this desk as from tomorrow.” Gray said, standing before her.
“Why? Am I getting fired?” She asked playfully.
“Not at all. I want you to use this one.” He pointed to the other desk beside his.
“But, you said that it’s for someone special.” Elena said.
“It is and it still is. I just don’t want it to be left empty. I want another special person to sit on it.” He said.
“Wow! Thank you.” She said but he only smiled.
“It’s time to go. Let me drop you off.” He said.
“Thanks but I came with my own car, so I’ll be going with that.” She said, and he smiled.
“Let’s go then.” He said.
They went out, and waved each other goodbye. Gray waited for her to start leaving before entering his own car. He saw how her car was moving, and felt uneasy.
“Follow that car.” He said and his chauffeur started following it.
Elena noticed that the car was starting to misbehave. “What’s happening?” She muttered and tried to turn but it didn’t work. She stepped on the brakes, it didn’t work either.
The car started speeding till the extent that she was unable to control it. “Oh no! This is bad.” She said.
The wheel wasn’t even working anymore. “I knew it!” Gray said and nudged his driver to follow the car.
The driver got close to Elena’s car and Gray jumped down. He opened the car door entered. “Move away from the driver’s seat.” He said and she obeyed.
He entered the driver’s seat, and took control of the wheel. He tried but couldn’t control it, the car was almost reaching the highway.
“I’m sorry.” She said. Is this how she was going to die again? She hasn’t even showed Gray her real self. Is she going to show him now that they’re about to d!e?
“Gray, incase we don’t make it, I just want you to know that I love you.” She said and Gray looked at her as tears rolled down her cheeks. “I love so much!” She said.
Gray did his best and managed to take the car away from the road. It got to a farm and stopped suddenly.
Gray quickly dragged Elena out of the car and saw that it was stopped by a corn barn. It wouldn’t be long till it pene-trates throu-ghit but at least they were safe now.
He hug-ged her as tears rolled down her cheeks. He checked her out and turned her around to see if she was okay.
“Thank God, you’re okay. Don’t scare me like that ever again! I can’t lose someone I love, not anymore.”
Chapter 99
Gray did his best and managed “Thank God, you’re okay. Don’t scare me like that ever again! I can’t lose someone I love, not anymore,” He said
“You love me?” She asked.
“Yeah, I love you, Elena. I love you so so much!” He said while she burst into tears on his shoulders.
“Do you know how long I’ve wanted to hear those words from you?” She said and he smiled. “I love you too, Gray.” She said.
They stayed like that for a while, and Gray decided to take her home. By that time, security personnels were already at the sp-ot trying to clear the corn barn after stopping the car.
“Always check your car before driving, okay?” He said.
“This is a planned accident with the aim of taking my life.” Elena said.
“How did you know that?” Gray asked after they had settled in the car, and the driver took off, heading to the estate.
“The car was perfectly fine when I brou-ght it to work this morning. The brakes were tampered with.” Elena said.
“Who on earth would want you dead?” Gray asked.
Elena knew it was Camille. Seems, the witch had already planned her death before they scared her last night.
“Whoever it is, I will find out, and he or she will not escape my wrath.” Elena said.
“I’ll also help. To be honest, I was really scared today.” Gray said. Everything that happened reminded him about Noel’s de..ath.
He didn’t want to make the mistake of coming late, at least, saving Elena has eased him of the guilt he felt for not being able to come to Noel’s rescue on time.
“Was that why you jumped into the car like that?” She asked and he chuckled.
“I wasn’t even conscious of what I was doing. All I kept thinking was saving you.” He said.
“And you did. Thanks.” She smiled.
“You’re welcome.” He smiled back.
“But next time, don’t dare something bizarre like that again. You would have gotten hurt or worse…” She said.
“So, you’re trying to tell me that I shouldn’t have saved you?” He asked.
“I’m grateful that you saved me but, losing you would be hell for me,” She sighed. “Life is one thing people value most but what is life without love? While that car was moving, there was only one person I thought of and that person was you.
There were so many questions in my mind, questions like, will I ever be able to see you again? One year in coma was so lonely? The reason I survived a year ago was because of you, Gray.
I prayed for God to give me a second chance, so that we would do things we didn’t do while I was with you, to marry and bear children for you.
When I returned and saw that you haven’t moved on, my heart yearned more for you.” Elena said with tears in her eyes while Gray stared at her in confusion, not sure of what she was talking about.
“Maybe you h!t your head while the car was out of control. Don’t worry, you’ll be better in the morning.” He said and she smiled sadly.
“Gray, I want you to promise me that you won’t get mad at me when I tell you who I truly am.” She said.
“Are you impersonating someone?” Gray asked.
“Something like that. Two days to come, I have something to show you.
It’s the answer to all your problems, the truth to all the lies you’ve be fed, to reveal a secret about your supposed son and make Camille leave you for good.” Elena said.
“What are you talking about?” Gray asked.
“You’ll find all the answers in two days.” She smiled.

THE ESTATE
They drove in and came down. Lucas and Annabella were already outside waiting for them. Gray held her hand and brou-ght her to them.
“You’re welcome, let’s go in.” Lucas said and they entered.
“Mr Gray, you look so happy this evening. What has my sister told you?” Annabella asked as they sat down.
“Something special.” He smiled.
“Hope you’re alright? You didn’t come with your car.” Lucas said.
“I’ll explain later.” Elena said.
After staying for a while, Gray bid them goodbye and left. Elena sighed and looked at Lucas who was waiting for an answer. “I almost d!ed today.” She said and they gasped.
“How?” Lucas and Annabella asked simultaneously.
“Someone tampered with my car brakes…” She told them all that happened.
“I’m sure it’s none other than Camille who is responsible for this.” Lucas said.
“She is a bçh! What do you expect?” Annabella said, revenge written all over her face.
“Yeah. But, she didn’t know that she did it for my own good.” Elena said.
“Tell us how.” Lucas requested.
“It made Gray confess his love for me.” Elena blus-hed.
“Oh my gosh! That’s awesome!” Annabella exclaimed.
“Yeah, but that doesn’t mean that she won’t get punished.”
“You’re right, Elena. Since, Gray has confessed, when is he going to be able to see Noel?” Lucas smiled.
“In two days. After I reveal all Camille’s schemes to him. She is going to be present in the office too, I’m going to show her what hell on Earth looks like. No one messes with me and go unscathed.” Elena said.
“Wow! That was scary and fierce.” Annabella said.
“It is. Lucas, were you able to get the test results from Doctor Lee in Los Angeles?” Elena asked.
“Yeah. I also got some int-imate photos of her and Chris.” Lucas said.
“Good! Prepare everything for two days to come. Gray is about to meet the love of his life but first, I need to see my parents. Annabella, we’re going to use that abomination to meet my younger sister.” Elena said.
“Yay! I can’t wait.” She squealed.
“You’re sure about this?” Lucas asked and she nodded. “I’ll support you.” He said and she smiled.
“Thank you.”

GRAY’S BEDROOM
After showering and eating, he took his laptop to check on some important docu-ments and emails but couldn’t concentrate.
He had different things to think about. He couldn’t comprehend what Elena was talking about in the car and it’s bothering him greatly. He thought about what she said.
‘When I returned and saw that you haven’t moved on, my heart yearned more for you’
“What did she mean by that? Did she go anywhere before? Did she meet me before? Aish! This is frustrating!” He yelled.

THE NEXT DAY
CAMILLE’S HOUSE
“You bà$tard! You and your boys can’t do anything right. Why is she still alive?” Camille yelled and sIapped the guy in front of her.
“We tried our best to tamper with her brakes. Maybe she got saved.” He said.
“By who exactly? A ghost?” Camille mocked.
“It could be Gray because, he was with her and drove behind her when it happened.” The guy said.
“Just get out!” She yelled and he scampered out. “Oh Elena! I will make sure I kll you for messing with me.
Yes, you’re smarter and more agile than Noel but that won’t stop me from ending your stay on planet Earth.
I klled Teresa, I klled Julie, I also klled Noel, you won’t be an exception!” Camille yelled and stormed into her room.
Levi who was at a corner smiled. “Thank God you’ve admitted it.” He clic-ked save and sent the recording to Elena.
