DEATH OVER MARRIAGE

" Ahhh !!!! " Elena screamed.

" How ..... How can this be ? " She asked herself. " What in God's name do I do " .

She never wanted to show how broken the doctors report had made he, No matter what happened she wanted to act strong in the presence of her grandpa and her uncle most especially her aunty who was pregnant.

" Excuse me Miss " a male voice spoke from the office line she had subconsciously picked.

" Hmmm ... Speak " she said hiding her crying voice.

" An email has been sent from the CEO of YR corporations, ma " the man said.

" Hmmm ..... I will check it later. Cancel all my plans for the day, I want to be left alone " she ordered.

" Yes Miss " the man answered ending the call.

" YR corporations? , I don't have time for all these " she said slamming her hands on her table. She was slowly being engulfed by doubt, fear and lack of faith.

* At YR corporations *.

" Hello there Ed " a man greeted happyly

" You know how much I get irritated by that name , right Atticus? " Edward asked.

" Well, what to do . I just can't stop teasing you, can I ? " The man called Atticus asked.

" What brings you to my office " Edward asked despite how irritated he was.

" I heard, through some whispering birds that you dumped Ava after all these years and I also heard through my whispering birds that you went to Paris to meet someone " Atticus said.

" I really want to rip your heart out of your chest if you weren't my brother " Edward hissed out.

" Well,from your Aura and your response i guess what i heard true " the man said with his lips curving into a smile making his hard face very pretty.

" What happens if it's true. look atti don't get me angry okay, it's nobody's business what I want to do okay " Edward warned. " Just get your fucking self out of my office " he yelled.

" You are so cold to everyone around you expect that lady whose eventually going to die " Atticus yelled back.

" Atticus!!!!! " Edward warned as his hands wrapped around his brother's neck. " Don't..... Don't you dare talk about her like that " he said.

" Come on brother kill me " Atticus said slanting his head to give he brother a proper view. " You know, you can't save and even if you do..... You will loose forever " he added.

" Leave my office now " Edward hissed out. If it were his enemies he would waste a second on them before ending their miserable lives but this was his brother and his very flesh and blood.

" Am leaving, Ed. But don't forget she will choose Death over Marriage , she might be vengeful but she's still Avery weak human. She might even be the weakest I have ever known " he added vanishing in thin air.

" Don forget who you are brother, she will never accept your true identity ". Atticus voice reminded 

* Picks his phone up *

" Magnus has..... Has the email gotten to her ? " Edward asked.

" Oh heavens boss, am no secretary of yours . How would I know ? " Magnus said jokingly.

" Magnus " Edward warned.

" Sure boss I would get it done. Sorry I mean i would verify if it has been sent " Magnus said ina hurry. He failed to realize the hardness in his bosses voice and so he joked when he initially picked the call.

" Elena... " Edward whispered.

* At Elena's house * .

" Welcome back miss " her butler said.

" Thanks Mr Charles, it being a while I guess " she replied weakly.

" Yes Miss, Mr John asked me to assist you " the man said .

" Okay, good then I will be in my room then. " She said as she entered the elevator taking her to her room.

" She look unhappy and low in spirit " a woman said looking at the elevator Elena took.

" Not everyone will be happy about living for just 18 months after the suffering she's been through " the butler said.

" Seriously Charles that doctor is really inhuman, why would he even send the report. Why didn't he just call her and talked to her in his office " the woman complained.

" He's just doing his job Mabel, you don't expect him to deceive her do you ? " He asked leaving the woman standing alone.

After taking a relaxing bath, Elena decided to open the email sent to her from the YR corporations CEO amd she instantly became very angry. The email which she thought was a business proposal was a marriage proposal aggravating her anger.
