MENDING HIS BROKEN HEART : CHAPTER 71 – 90
Chapter 88
“I’m sure that you aren’t deaf! I will say this for the last time, drink it!” Elena thundered and Flora shuddered. No doubt that she was scared out of her wits but that didn’t move Elena a bit.
“What’s going on?” Gray asked.
“I will only talk when she drinks it, and if she doesn’t drink it, I’m calling the police.” Elena said and picked up her phone.
“No! Not the police!” Flora starts crying.
“You have 10 seconds to do as I say, else, it’s prison for you. 1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7… 8…”
“Okay, I’ll drink it, I’ll drink it.” Flora said and collected it from Elena.
She gulped and opened it, her hand shivered as she tried to drink it. “Please, I can’t drink this.” Flora said.
“Did you po!son it or what? Why is it difficult for you to drink it?” Gray asked.
“I… I… I… Camille drugged it and gave it to me, so that I could give it to Elena, so that she would lose her job.” Flora said and Gray gasped.
“What kind of drug?” Gray asked.
“A… A… Aphrodisiac.” She said and Gray’s eyes widened.
“Aphrodisiac! Why? Go ahead and drink it then.” Gray said.
Tears rolled from her eyes as she emptied the bottle in her mouth. Elena sat down with a calm expression waiting for when the drama would start. Few minutes later, Flora started feeling hot and Elena noticed it. She stood up and went to Gray.
“Go out!” She said and gave him the key.
“Are you gonna be fine?” Gray asked.
“Yeah, I will. Now go before she lunge at you.” Elena said.
Gray smiled and collected the keys. He opened the door then threw them back at Elena before rushing out. Elena closed the door and locked it again. Flora started fanning herself because of the heat she was feeling. All she wanted was a man right now.
“Let me out, please.” She cried.
Elena stood there emotionless. Before coming to San Diego, she had vowed not to be merciful to anybody who crossed her path. She would make sure she dealt with all of them, she won’t be too lenient anymore. Maybe after she has taken her revenge on Camille, she would change to her self but now, she is merciless, ruthless and unsympathetic.
“I won’t let you go till you embarrass yourself. Next time, you would think twice before messing with me.” She said in an icy tone.
“Please, I’m sorry. I won’t cross your path from today onwards.” Flora begged.
Elena shook her head and went to sit on a chair watching her closely. She would move up and down with nothing to do. She picked up some of Gray’s files and started fanning herself. When the heat became unbearable, she ran into Gray’s office restroom. Elena knew what she went to do already, so she smiled and waited for her to come out.
She went to the door and opened it. Gray was still at the reception, waiting. When the door opened, he rushed in and was relieved to see that Elena was okay.
“You’re okay.” He said.
“Were you worried?” She asked and smirked.
“Yes,” He answered and looked around after closing the door. “Where is she?” Gray asked.
“In the restroom.” Elena answered and sat down.
Gray gasped. “Is she doing what I think that she’s doing?” He asked.
“What do you expect?” Elena chuckled.
“How did you find out?” Gray asked.
“A little birdie told me.” She smiled mischievously and crossed her legs.
Gray watched her in surprise. Who exactly is this lady? He sat down and after few minutes, Flora walked out. Her hair was already scattered and sweat was all over her body. She was too ashamed to look at Elena or Gray. “I’m so sorry.” She muttered in tears and ran out shamefully. The employees saw her running out and gasped.
“I am sure this is all Elena’s doing.” One said.
“I agree with you. Gosh! Who could imagine the almighty Flora crying because of her.” Another said.
“I’m so scared of her. Do you know that she made Debby write a compulsory resignation letter?”
“So, Debby is no longer working here.”
“You guys should stop talking about her if you want to keep your jobs.”
They all returned to their duty posts.
“You let her go?” Gray asked.
“Yeah. She isn’t my target, Camille is who I want to teach a lesson. I hope you don’t mind, since she is the mother of your child.” Elena said.
“She is the mother of my child but she isn’t my wife. Do whatever you like with her but don’t hurt the baby.” Gray said.
“Sure.” Elena smirked.
“I’m starting to get scared of you. Are you a mafia’s daughter by any chance?” He asked and she laughed.
“What do you think?” She asked and he pressed his lips together, making him look cute.
“I have doubts.” He said and she smiled.
“I am not a mafia’s daughter, neither am I wicked. I just repay people who mess with me with the worst.” She said and faced her work.
Gray continued looking at her in shock.

CAMILLE’S HOUSE
Levi and Zara had helped her washed the face but not after laughing at her. She opened the eyes a bit but it was bIoodshot red. She cried while cvrsing whoever bought that make up for her.
“Levi, call Gray, put it on video call and tell him what has happened to me.” She said.
“Okay, ma’am.” He answered and picked up her laptop. He set the laptop in front of her and placed the call. Gray answered the phone with a frown on his face.
“Gray_”
“Don’t you dare call my name. How could you be so cruel?” Gray asked.
“What are you talking about?” She asked.
“Stop acting like you know nothing about what I’m talking about. Why would you send Flora to drug Elena?” He asked.
Camille creased her brows. Why would Flora tell them that she was the one? Wait… This means that her plan failed? That alone brought tears down from her eyes.
Elena’s faced popped up on the screen. “Wow! Camille, you look fabulous.” She teased.
“So, you’re responsible for this right? I’ll pay you back!” She yelled and Elena laughed.
“Don’t worry, I’m sending more. Watch and see how I’m going to deal with you, you’ll wish you were never born.” Elena said and before Camille could talk, she hung up.
Camille kicked the laptop, sending it to the floor and smashing it.
“I hate her! I hate her to the core! She’s making me go ¢razy!!!” She yelled.
Levi and Zara said nothing but laughed silently.

AUSTIN’S HOUSE
Austin was in the living room watching TV when he heard a knock on the door. He stood up and went to open it. He was surprised to see Scarlet, he couldn’t remember the last time she came to visit him since he moved to his own house.
“Scarlet.” He called.
“Can I come in?” She asked and he nodded.
She came in and sat down on the blue leather couch. She gestured for him to sit beside her and he did.
“Let me get you something to drink.” He said.
“There won’t be any need for that. Actually, I came to tell you something.” She said.
Austin got scared, is she trying to break up with him?
“Are you going to break up with me? Please, don’t. I won’t be able to take it. Whatever happens, we can make things right. I love you so much, please don’t leave me.” Austin said, holding her hands. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she saw how much he cared about her and their relationship. All that would end once she told him her past.
“It’s not that,” She said. “I did something terrible and… and… I don’t know if you can ever forgive me.” She said.
“Go ahead and tell me. I’ll forgive you because I love you and can’t bear seeing you like this.” He said.
“Few years ago, at Jeti’s club…” She narrated everything to him and his eyes widened.
“What! You ab©rted the baby?” He asked.
“It was a mistake. I didn’t know the drink given to me would ab©rt the baby. I’m sorry.” She cried.
“Did you say Jeti’s club? School debate celebration?” He asked.
“Yes.” She answered.
“I’m sorry as well.” He said.
“What are you talking about?” She asked. All she knew was that, she was the one who should be apologizing.
“I was the guy who slept with you that night,” Scarlet gasped. “I wasn’t in my senses either. I was drugged by my friends too. All I could remember was sIeeping with someone that night but I couldn’t see your face. I’m sorry.” He knelt down but she raised him up.
“I’m the one that should be sorry for ab©rting our child. What a small world! Who knew I’ll later fall in love with same guy I lost my vrgnity to.” She said. She knew that she should be angry but she couldn’t bring herself to do it. She was happy that he was the one, considering how much love he had shown her so far.
“You’re not angry?” He asked.
“You weren’t in your senses either. I am not angry but relieved to have fallen in love with you.” She said and hugged him.
“You don’t know how relieved I am to hear that.” He said and kssed her forehead.
“Same here. I was so scared of what you’ll say, that’s why I avoided you all these while. Thanks to Elena, I was able to build up the courage.” She said.
“I love you, Scarlet.”
“I love you more, Austin.”

IN THE EVENING
After work and dinner, Elena, Lucas and Annabella were watching the video of Camille dancing to the chilli sting. Elena was right. Annabella did put a chip in there.
“Oh my gosh! This is internet gold.” Elena said.
“Look at how red her face is.” Lucas laughed.
“This gives me an idea.” Annabella said and took her phone. She posted the video using an anonymous account on many social media platforms.
“Annabella!!!” Elena screamed.
“That’s what she gets for messing with the people I love.” Annabella said.
“She won’t be able to leave her house for a week.” Lucas laughed.
They watched Flora’s own and laughed too.
“She looked like a str!pper, Gosh!” Lucas laughed.
“This is small to what I’ll continue doing. Those that messed with me will get it hot hot.” Elena said and they laughed.

A DAY LATER
Camille almost went ¢razy when she saw her video online, she saw how people were laughing and making fun of her. She was taken to a hospital and the eyes got treated. She dressed up and took a sun glass then rushed to the company. Luckily, she saw Elena about to enter the company and called her.
Elena turned and smiled. “I can see you wearing sunglasses in the morning, Camille.” She said and laughed.
“What would you gain by doing all these?” Camille asked.
“Revenge for Noel.” Elena answered simply and Camille frowned.
“Aren’t you tired of fighting for the dead?” Camille asked.
Elena packed her hair in a ponytail and smiled at Camille.
“I won’t rest till Noel gets the justice she deserves. Do you think I don’t have the evidence of all your atrocities? Do you think shutting Scarlet up and blackmailing Gray will stop me?” Elena asked.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Camille faced the other way.
She didn’t know why she couldn’t look Elena straight in the eyes, sometimes she would feel like getting burned while looking at them.
“Keep pretending that you don’t know what I’m talking about. I’m sure you know me too well Camille, it won’t be easy to kll me, same way it wasn’t easy for you to kll Noel but trust me, I am ten times ¢razier than Noel so, klling me will be like pouring water on a stone.” Elena said and laughed at Camille’s confused expression.
“What are you saying? Who told you all these?” Camille asked.
“I have my ways, Camille. You better watch your back, you might not know what hit you.” Elena chuckled and left, leaving Camille who was still trying to digest everything.
“I’m going ¢razy!” Camille yelled as tears rolled down her cheeks.
