Destiny

Once a Happy Family

"Ella"

Seriously am going to kill this boy can't I sleep in peace in my own room again?

Ella gradually opens her eyes to see a teenage boy beside her.

What is it? Do you want to break my entire room down?

There comes a handsome boy standing next to Ella bed staring at her like a little cute brat.

Am sorry if I woke you, mummy calls for you and I can go back and tell her you said you don't want to come, it is as simple as that.

That little demon, the way he sounds , it is something he can actually do such an annoying little rat.

Ella widened her eyes and grap Alex by his hand.

"You won't do such thing little brother , tell mummy that I will be downstairs in a jiffy". Ella told him with a fake smile on her face.

Alex managed to release himself from her grip

" You better do , you know what I can do " he smirked at her and went out of the room.

"I feel like skinning this little thing with my hands it like he as forgotten I collected atleast 2 years from him he is just 16 years old for goodness sake why is he is acting like my big bro what the heck is that ! Seriously I am going to teach him a lesson he thinks he can have everything in his way" . Ella gave a wicked smile.

"Hey Mom! You called for me I was wrapping some stuffs up..... "

Ella glanced at Alex to find out if he as told Mom anything but from his expression I doubt he as.

Amelia was setting the dining when Ella came downstairs , on a normal day she would have scolded her for not coming downstairs to prepare breakfast with her but something seems off today , she didn't scold her rather she was staring at her beautiful daughter , she as grown so well . She as my eyes , my behavior and I just can't stop thinking that she is my carbon copy , I can't just stop thanking God for giving me those two she stare at Alex where he sat .

"Yeah I called you and it took you almost one hour to come downstairs I was thinking you have a baby you are delivering there" Amelia said with a smile on her face.

Wait , did mom just smiled after saying that, that is unlike her she would have gave me a killer look after saying that .

" Mom am so sorry pardon my manners that won't happen again, you know you are the best mom I could ever asked for" Ella said hugging Amelia tightly.

Alex faced back and saw the little chemistry between the mother and child.

" Mom I hope you won't buy that crap you know she is just trying to bribe you, you should see her face when I told her you called for her , she was squeezing her face like a punch of crunches."

Seriously nothing can stop me from cutting off this tiny little thing throat he won't stop getting on my nerves. Ella thought staring at him with deadly eyes.

" Alex that was so rude, do I have to remind you that Ella here is your elder sister and she deserves some respect I hope I don't have to repeat that next time because the next time such thing happen you know what coming for you" mom told Alex.

Did mom just sided with me wow she is really in a very good mood today , God is really on my side today. I have to make use of this opportunity and teach him a lesson.Ella gave Alex a devilish smile.

“ Mom seriously I have being telling him to learn how to speak to his elders I just don't know where he kept his manner, well no problem little brother I am willing to forgive you if you could apologize and show me how sorry you are”

Ella looked at Alex who is fuming with anger where he is , she knows she is pressing his red botton but who cares this is payback time.

“ I hope you heard what she said and am sure you don't want me to repeat it myself” Amelia frowned at him

With anger all over Alex face he couldn't dare speak against Ella in their mom's presence, he as no other choice than to apologize to her which is so annoying.

“Am so sorry big sis, I didn't mean to be rude, please pardon my recklessness please…”Alex muttered with a pitiful face with anger hidden behind, only Ella could notice this.

“ You are forgiven and I hope such won't happen in the future again” Ella said with a mockery smile on her face .

Amelia looks at her two children with joy written all over her face.

“ Less I forgot Ella, the main reason I told Alex to called you downstairs is because you are going to be following me to the mall today we are going to get some stuffs you know your father is coming home from England tommorow so we must prepare for his arrival” she said with a smarkling eyes.

Oooooh no wonder she as being behaving weird since morning Dad is going to be back tomorrow after a one month business trip , someone misses her husband. Well who wouldn't miss him. Dad is a very funny and Caring man he is always attentive and ready to listen to all our problems even if he is busy he will find a way to give us a listening ear , that unlike some rich men who don't care about their family well-being , my father Sebastian is one in million. Ella signed and faced her mom.

“ That true right am going to go get ready and come downstairs for breakfast , I love you mummy”

“ I love you too dear”

Later in the night

“ Sweetie” Amelia calls Ella as she was about heading to her room after arriving from the mall.

“Yes Mom” she turned back

“ I want you to always know that I love you and your brother so much and if anything ever happen to me I want you to take good care of yourself and your brother you guys mean the world to me” Amelia said with a heavy face.

What is wrong with her no one is going anywhere, I can't even imagine the world without her . Ella took a deep breath.

“Mom you are not going anyway and you are going to be just here to take good care of us , you and Dad would take care of us just like you have always done, so please mom don't you ever say such things again it breaks my heart” Ella said and walked towards her to give her a warm hug.

“Ok dear I just feel like something bad..”

Before she could finish her sentence Ella placed her hand on her lips.

“ Nothing bad is going to happen mom trust me, so go get some rest now , everything is going to be fine you know you said you want to go get dad from the airport tomorrow you can't afford to sleep late” she pecked her and escorted her to her room.

“ Good night Mom”

“ ooooh less I forgot I want to give you something come inside for a minute”. Ella stepped inside her room. Amelia went to her drawer and brought out a beautiful bracelet”

“ Come here let me wear it around your neck,my mom gave me this bracelet and I promised myself to give it to my daughter I want you to always wear this around your neck , even when am not there with you as far as this is around your neck it signifies my presence” Amelia said as Ella walked to her and she wore it round her neck.

“It so beautiful mom, thank you so much I really love it. I will always keep it safe with me “Ella said and pecked her on the cheek.

“Good night dear” Amelia said

“Good night Mom"Ella replied and she walked out of the room and closed the door behind her.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Oooh my God why can't I sleep in peace it not like it 8 in the morning already because that when the alarm is suppose to ring. The phone continues to beep until Ella finally managed and squeeze her way to get her phone and picked the phone call.

“Hello this is Ella who am I speaking with please”

“Ella , did I woke you up , am sorry I just wanted to hear from you this morning before I get to the airport I really miss my princess voice”

That when Ella realized it was her dad on the phone . She immediately sat down upright.

“ Am so sorry dad , I didn't quickly catch your voice I couldn't sleep well yesterday night I was having different types of bad dreams”

With a very worried voice Sebastian asked her what the dreams were all about.

“ It not a big deal dad I will explain everything to you when you get back home, I really can't wait to see you and Dad, Alex as being giving me constant headache since your departure I want you to teach him a lesson when you come back”

Sebastian laughed a little at what Ella said he knows Alex could be a hard nut to crack.

“ No problem princess I will sure teach him a good lesson , I love you dear and tell Alex I love him so much as well and he should be expecting his punishment on my arrival , I have to go now dear take care”

“Ok dad I love you more” Ella felt like something bad is about to happen but she quickly shaked it off . She checked her time it was 7am in the morning, she quickly rushed to the bathroom took her bath and head downstairs to make breakfast . That unlike Ella , she hates entering the kitchen but something just pushed her maybe the Lord spirit to celebrate her dad's arrival with her own delicious meal.

Ella pumped at Alex at the stairs.

“ Look who is up this early, wow! It like mom's kindness to you yesterday is really getting to your brain” Alex winked at her

Ella fumes in anger , you can't ruin my day today dear brother she thought to herself

“ I just felt like surprising you today my dear brother and I have decided to make breakfast this morning and I promise you it going to be great” Ella said smiling at Alex .

“Oooh I didn't know you have such sweet words in your mouth sis, is it because dad is coming today and you want him to think you have being a good sister to me” Alex said placing his hands on her shoulder.

This boy won't seize to annoy me in his slightest opportunity , I am not going to be a victim of that.

“ Am I not the best sister you could ever ask for ? you know you can't get a beautiful sister like me anywhere” Ella said pitifully

What is wrong with her today , isn't she supposed to be angry at me after what I said . Hmmm or maybe she as changed for the better. Something seems off about her , but seriously i love her so much to be honest I can't ask for a better sis than her even though she could be cranky and annoying sometimes she is still the best.

“Whatever you can get going now , don't think I will fall for that your pitiful face“ Alex said and quickly remove his hands around shoulder and moved away from her.

“What ever you say your majesty” Ella said and walked happily to the kitchen.

Few hours later

“Ella , am going to the airport to get your dad make sure breakfast is set before we come back and I don't want any form of argument between you and your brother you guys should be of your best behavior.“

Here comes a very beautiful woman standing in front of me even with her age she still looks stunning as ever. I love every piece of her. Ella stares at Amelia with happiness all written all over her face.

“Yes Mom , everything is going to be just the way you want it and about me and Alex we are good.“ She said and wincked at Alex who was cut off guard.

Amelia faced Alex .

“Is that true Alex?”

“Yes Mom you don't have to worry about a thing we are good” Alex managed to mutter those words from his mouth he wasn't expecting Ella to wink at him so suddenly she is such a weirdo.

Amelia signed in relief

“ So can I get a hug from my bab…..ies” before she could finish her words they both came and hug her tightly.

“ We love you Mom” they both said it together which came from place of sincerity.

“That ok guys , don't let get too emotional , take care” Amelia said and walked out of the house.

Why do I feel like I won't be able to see her again why am I having such a bad feeling. Ella signed

Few hours later

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Your phone is ringing Ella Alex rushed to give the phone to her in the dining room.

“ Yes how may I help you sir”

The man on the phone uttered some words which made Ella started breathing heavily and she started stammering.

“ I don't understand what you meant by that , I don't understand” Ella started stammering and crying before a twinkle of an eye she fainted on the floor.

Ella!

Ella!

“Wake up you have to wake up”Alex said confused he didn't know what the man told her but he knew it wasn't something good, he quickly called 911 he was shaking he could not speak well.

“ Please come save my sister she got a call not quite long from a man and she as lost consciousness I don't know what happened” Alex said he couldn't control his tears again.
