MENDING HIS BROKEN HEART : CHAPTER 71 – 90
Chapter 83
“Stop playing ignorant with me. You’re responsible for her death and I’m going to expose you. I’m telling you this, so you can try klling or doing something to me then, I’m gonna show you what I’m made of.” With that said, Noel walked away.
Camille blinked twice and cleaned her eyes and ears to be sure that she saw and heard correctly. Many questions started popping into her head. Questions like, how did Elena know about Noel? What relationship do they have? How did she know that the baby isn’t Gray’s? How on Earth did she find out about Noel’s death? Could they be related somehow? Gosh! So many ‘hows’
She wanted to walk into the company but decided against it. Today hasn’t been that good for her. First, she got insulted by everyone in the Gerald’s mansion, now she just got bartered by Elena. She entered the car, made sure the baby was safeguarded before turning the car on.

CAMILLE’S HOUSE
She drove into the compound and stepped out of the car, leaving the baby in it. “Welcome, ma.” Zara greeted her but she ignored. “Go into the car, get the baby and take him to his room.” She said and hurried to the living room. Zara sighed as she rushed to the car.
“Why give birth to a baby when you know you can’t take care of him, why even get pregnant in the first place.” She frowned, took the baby and left for the baby’s room.
Camille called Levi the moment she stepped into the living room. “Levi.” She called.
“Yes, ma.” Levi answered and came to her then bowed. “Tell me about what you found on that Elena girl.” Camille ordered. “Okay, I also took some pictures.” Levi said and handed them over to her. Camille collected the pictures and stared at them with creased brows. “Who are these in the pictures? The guy and the little girl? Is she married?”
“No, those are her siblings. It seems that they’re very rich because they’re living in that glamorous estate just 6 blocks before us and 2 blocks before Gray’s house.” Levi said.
“No wonder she acts like she is on top of the world. What else did you find?” Camille asked, flipping through the pictures. “That’s what I’ve been able to gather.” Levi answered. “Keep following and trailing her. She knows things about Noel’s de..ath and this child, I have no idea where she got the information from, so let’s be careful.” Camille said.
“Isn’t it better to just back out of this? I think that girl is dangerous. Forget that she wears suit to the office, she dresses like a mafia at home.” Levi said. “Do you know the exact place her house is?” Camille asked, ignoring his earlier statement. “Yes, but-”
“Take me there, I want to see for myself.” She said and stood up. Levi sighed and nodded then she followed him. They entered the car and he drove out, heading down to the estate. When they got there, Camille got down and looked around. The houses were very huge and they all looked identical.
“Which is hers?” She asked, trying to hide her surprise. She actually felt intimidated. “The first one you’re seeing right now.” Levi said.
Immediately he said that, they saw Elena coming out of the house with a guy and girl. She wore Jean trousers, white tank top and black jacket then sneakers to match. Her hair was let down in waves making the red dye at the end very visible, fitting her perfectly. She was laughing and smiling brightly with the guy and girl.
Elena sighted Camille from afar and Annabella smirked. “Is she the one?” Annabella asked, balling her fists. Elena had told them all that happened when she returned home to change her clothes. “Yes.” Elena answered. “Act like you didn’t see them and let’s go.” Lucas said. “But we already saw her. Acting like that won’t be fun.” Annabella whined.
“Why do you like trouble a lot?” Lucas asked and she smiled. “Because trouble doesn’t like me.” Annabella said. “She is right, I want to see the fear in her eyes once again.” Elena laughed. “Alright, since the two of you are so troublesome_” He couldn’t finish his statement as Elena dragged him outside the gate.
Camille was startled when she saw them because she was actually lost staring at them.”Are you looking for someone?” Elena asked with a smug look on her face. Camille cleared her throat and stared at them. “Um… Yes… The person is a friend of mine. Why are you asking?” Camille asked, trying to sound brave.
“Nothing,” Elena shrugged. “This is the first time I’m seeing you here so, I was curious.” Elena gave her a smile which didn’t reach her eyes. “Um, Elena, look_”
“I thought that you were here to see someone. What are you calling my name for?” Elena asked. “I want us to talk.” Camille said. “Sorry, I don’t talk to murderous bçhes.” Elena said, looked at Levi and started walking away.
“I’ve got my eyes on you, Camille.” Annabella said and followed Elena. Lucas shrugged and left too. “You see what I told you about.” Levi said. “That lady needs to be taken care of. No one messes with me and go scot free, no one dares to blackmail me.” Camille said.
“I’m sensing things getting out of hand, please quit while there is still peace.” Levi warned. “Shut up! Don’t test my patience, Levi, else you will be next on my list.” She warned and entered the car. “I’ll be next? To be klled? Before that happens, I will make sure nemesis catch up with you.” He muttered and entered the car.

A GARDEN AND RELAXATION CENTER
Scarlet had promised to take them around the place. They were seated on the table, taking smoothies when Scarlet suddenly asked a question.
“So, who is the senior between you both?” She asked, pointing at Lucas and Elena. Lucas cleared his throat and waited for Elena to talk. Elena on the other hand was waiting for him to talk.
“Her.” Lucas suddenly answered.
“Wow! I asked because you two look like agemates. Now, tell me, why this bada$s look all the time?” Scarlet asked Elena. “That’s my style, hope nothing is wrong with it?” Elena asked. “Not at all. It’s just that I would love to see you in a simple dress for once.” Scarlet said and they laughed. “Don’t worry, you’ll see that soon.” Elena said.
Annabella looked to her right and saw a man selling make up kits. She saw that they were the latest designs, a design any lady would die to have. A d’vilish smirk appeared on her lips and she stood up. “I want to go buy a make up kit.” She said. “You already have one, what do you need that one for?” Lucas asked. “For something very important.” She said. “Like what?” Elena asked. “A prank.” She said and ran to meet the man so as to avoid further questions.
“She’s so cute.” Scarlet said. “Cute and mischievous.” Lucas said. “So, Mr Lucas, do you have a girlfriend?” Scarlet asked and he choked on his drink. “Hope nothing is wrong with my question? Sorry, I’m just too curious.” Scarlet said.
“It’s nothing. Come on bro, answer her question, do you have a girlfriend?” Elena asked and he blushed. “A-hem, no I don’t.” He answered. “What! A cute guy like you has no girlfriend?” Scarlet exclaimed. “I was thinking same thing. I think it’s high time you get a girlfriend, little brother.” Elena ruffled his hair and he laughed. “Go get me one then.” He said.
“Really? With pleasure, I’m sure you’ll love the bartender over there. She looks hot.” Elena said, pointing at the lady who served them smoothies. “No, please. She ain’t my type.” Lucas said and they laughed. “You’ll find the right person very soon.” Scarlet said and he smiled.
Annabella returned with two make up kits. “I thought you said that you were buying only one.” Elena said. “Yeah but I decided to purchase another one for our beautiful friend. Her beauty needs this classic and fancy make up kit.” Annabella said and gave one to Scarlet. “Wow! Thank you so much.” Scarlet smiled and collected it. “But you bought nothing for me. Do you love her more than me now?” Elena asked. “You already have more than enough.” Annabella said and they laughed. “So, what prank are you planning to pull?” Lucas asked and she smirked mischievously.
They left the garden and Scarlet took them to see more places. After that, they parted ways and Elena returned home with the rest.

THE NEXT DAY
G.G ENTERPRISES
GRAY’S OFFICE
Elena was busy on some files in her laptop. She sighed and wiped sweat away from her forehead. If she was Noel, she would have been resting without doing anything right now.
She took a paper, folded it into a ball and threw it at Gray. Gray looked up from his laptop after the stuff h it him and eyed her. “Mr Gray, I’m hungry and want to go for lunch.” She pouted.
“No, you’ll be served lunch here. I don’t want another employee getting fired because of you.” He replied and she laughed. “They got fired because they don’t know the rules.” She said. “Yeah, duh!” Gray rolled his eyes. “Stop that, you look like a sassy diva.” She said. Gray laughed and shook his head. This lady was something else. He took the paper she threw at him and threw it back at her. “Hey!” She glared. “You did it first, so I have gotten my revenge, now we’re even.” He said and she pouted.
“You’re not a gentleman at all. What kind of a gentleman h its a lady with a paper ball?” She complained. “This one.” He pointed to himself. She crumpled her face in a funny way and Gray laughed. Austin entered and saw Gray laughing while Elena was pouting. He smiled and went to sit in front of her. “Hey babe.” He called, waiting to see Gray’s reaction and as expected, Gray frowned. Elena giggled, making Gray’s frown to deepen.
“Good day, Austin. You look good today.” She complimented and he smiled. Gray looked at himself and back at Elena. ‘She complimented Austin but didn’t compliment me, hmph! So partial.’ Gray thought, still looking at them.
“Thanks, Elena. You aren’t looking so bad yourself. Infact, you look tantalizing and delicious.” Austin said. He was enjoying the look on Gray’s face right now.
“Pfft! Is she food that she will be delicious?” Gray muttered with a frown.
“Oh! thank you, Austin. You sure know how to flatter a lady.” Elena said, stealing glances at Gray who was trying hard to control himself from yelling. She laughed inwardly, ‘Sorry, my love. I’ll have to make you jealous for a while.’ she thought.
“Do you know why I said that?” Austin asked her. He knew she was playing along as well, so he was waiting for how he would laugh when Gray won’t be able to take it anymore. “No, tell me.” Elena answered, batting her lashes. Gray scoffed but didn’t look away from them.
“I said that because, you’re the most beautiful lady I’ve ever seen. Not just that, but because you’re special and friendly.” Austin said. Elena smiled dreamily at him and Gray held his pen tight to the extent that the pen started cracking, wanting to break.
“Awwn! Austin, that’s the most nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. You’re really a gentleman.” Elena said.
“It’s my pleasure. How about we go out for lunch together?” He asked. Elena was about to answer when Gay stood up and went to meet them.
“Thanks, Austin. You have overstayed your welcome in my office. It’s time for you to leave!” Gray said. Elena wanted to laugh out loud but held it in.
“Wait! Let her accept my invitation for lunch first.” Austin said. “No! Go and have lunch with your fiancee and stop disturbing Elena.” Gray said.
“But_” Austin couldn’t finish his statement as Gray raised him up, dragged him and pushed him out of the office then locked the door.
Elena who had been quietly watching everything burst into laughter while Gray looked at her helplessly.
