Chapter 87
Tia had also rushed to Lyra’s office when she heard the news from her fiance. She wanted to be sure that Lyra is doing fine since Ella was still her sister after all. But when she got there, Lyra still haven’t gotten the news yet
“That happened?” Lyra asked with a deep frown. She wondered what else those two haven’t done in this life
They were cheaters, liars, bullies, fraudsters, home breakers, thieves, and now murderers had been added to the list.
She knew of the murder back then in school. She would never in her wildest dream think that Clinton or Ella was involved in that boy’s death.
That morning when they heard of the news of George’s death, they were all so sorrowful including Ella, whereas she had a hand in his death.
The more Lyra got to know Ella, the more she feared the girl. What a pretentious b*tch!
“Henri said Bruce isn’t do well”
Lyra scoffed, “How do you expect him to do well? He just found out that the love of his life is a murderer aside from the fact that she is a cheater”
“Would you go and see her?” Tia asked carefully. She doesn’t know how Lyra was feeling about the news. She couldn’t read her expression. One moment her eyes were sharp, the next moment they were dim.
“Visit who? Ella? I have work to do. I just pitied the little boy, Ryan”
“Me too. And Clinton also lost his life”
“It’s a life for a life, Tia. That’s the law” Lyra clicked her tongue. Her eyes were cold and sharp as she stared at nothing in particular
‘You will reap what you sowed’ Lyra thought as she remembered all that Ella had made her lose and what she had done to her in the past.

After two days, Bruce went to visit Ella. He didn’t know if he should tell Ryan about his mother being in jail or not so he needed to take permission from Ella first
Ella was so shocked to see that Bruce had come to visit her. She wasn’t expecting him because she was married to someone already. And had also become a widow already.
Bruce sat down as he stared at Ella who was coming towards him with handcuffed hands.
She sat down before smiling at Bruce
“How are you doing dear?” Bruce scoffed. He can’t believe he had even come to see her.
“I’m fine. Better now that you left me” Bruce replied and Ella smirked.
All of a sudden her eyes dimmed. She began to cry, Bruce stared at her in confusion.
“I lost my baby and my husband in one day!” She cried louder. Bruce turned to check round and saw people staring. This was really embarrassing so he said
“I didn’t come to pity you, Ella. You know that right? You left me for someone like that, a murderer”
“We didn’t mean for him to die!” She screamed but Bruce only smiled.
“The law doesn’t see it that way” After a little pause he continued
“Anyways, I didn’t come to chat with you. I want to know if it is okay by you to tell Ryan that you were here”
Ella snorted “Why do I care? The baby of my lover and husband is dead. The evidence of our love” she cried loudly
Bruce shook his head as he stared at the drama queen before him.
” You don’t care if Ryan knows you are here or not?”
“Ryan? Bring my son to me. I want to see him” Ella replied in urgency again.
Bruce began to look at the girl, maybe she had gone mad due to the shock or something
“I want to see Ryan and I want to see Lyra also. I want to see that witch!” Ella yelled.
“Lyra did nothing to you,” Bruce said to her when he saw her behavior.
But Ella only smirked “Lyra thinks she did nothing to me, what she doesn’t know is that she has done worse things to me. And I’m going to make her pay for everything she has done!”
Bruce’s brows furrowed in wonder. He wondered what Lyra had done to Ella to make her want revenge. Is not like she could revenge in prison though
“Tell Ryan that momma loves him”
Bruce scoffed “You never liked the kid, Ella. You have not for once showed him love”
“True. True” Ella nodded slowly as she stared before her but not at Bruce
“I’ve never really liked Ryan. I never wanted to give birth to him either. Did you know that Clinton was so mad at me when he found out that I had gotten myself pregnant for you? He was so upset he set out a plan to kill you” she sighed as she rubbed her hand on her face
“I didn’t let him though, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to do all that we planned. Our plans would have failed. I also did try to abort the baby back then but the doctor instructed me against it, he said If I abort any more babies I might just not be able to get pregnant again. And Clinton and I don’t want that. We wanted to get married and have two kids than live happily together forever” she smiled with bliss.
Bruce couldn’t say a word as all she was saying was only piercing his weak heart more. She wanted to abort his baby, and she admitted she had aborted some before. The girl was truly a monster
He made the decision right there and then never to bring Ryan to see her again. She was a bad influence on the kid, it was better he forgets her. She has never played an important role in his life before, they could live without her in their world
He would start all over again with his little boy and forget that Ella ever existed in their life.
Bruce stood up to leave “I wish you good luck in jail, Ella”
Ella waved it off saying she doesn’t need his wishes
“Send Lyra a message, tell her that I need to see her before the week runs out”
