CHAPTER 75

Elena kept on checking the time.

“Mom what’s wrong with dad, the time is very late and he is not yet home, am really scared,” Ava said resting her head on Elena’s lap while Elena pets her hair.

“I don’t know Ava, I’m also scared, I really wish he is safe,” Elena replied.

“Maybe you can call Aunt Lisa from his company,” Ava suggested.

“That’s my girl, nice idea,” Elena said and carried her phone.

She dialled Lisa’s number.

📱 "Hey Lisa, is Elena.”

Elena Said.

📱 "Yes Mrs Elena, I have your number, am sorry for what happened.”

Lisa replied.

📱 "That’s not why I called Lisa, Harrison is yet to return home and is already 12:45 in the night, he has never been this late before.” Elena said worriedly.

📱 "Oh my God, Mr Harrison left the office at 10:00, he hasn’t even settled down, actually, his workers make fun of him and he drove away, I tried to stop him but he just left.” Lisa said.

📱 "Oh my God Lisa, why didn’t you call me, what should I do now?”

Elena asked with a shaky voice.

📱 "Or should we inform the police?”

Lisa asked.

📱 "Don’t worry, thanks for your time.”

Elena said and hang off.

“Aunt Elena, has she found dada?”

Ava asked.

“Dada is not in the company,” Elena replied.

They heard a Knock.

“Yay, my dada is back, yay,” Ava screamed excitedly.

They headed to the door and opened it.

Harrison looks like a total mess, he is very drunk, he can’t even stand on his own, and he is with a policeman.

“Hey, this is Mr Harrison's house right?”

He asked.

“Yes officer, I’m his wife, what happened to him?”

Elena asked.

“He was very drunk and was sleeping on the street, we almost take him to the station, but then we discovered he lives here,” the officer explained.

“Thanks a lot, officer,” Elena said.

“In hard times like this for Mr Harrison, please take care of him, I will be going.”

The officer said and left.

Ava started crying seeing her dada in that condition, everything turns around and crashed on Elena.

“What have you done to your self Harrison,” Elena asked crying.

“Hahaha, who is Harrison? My name is not Harrison, my name is, uhmm, my name is, hahaha, I have forgotten my name.” Harrison laughed drunkenly.

“Dada, you are my dada, Harrison.”

Ava replied.

“Dada? Is that the name of a bear, hahaha, young girl, I don’t know you, why are you both staring at me, wait wait, are you two? One, two, three, four, you are four.”

Harrison said.

Elena just look at him crying, Harrison fall on the floor and slept off.

“Stop crying mama, My dada will be fine, don’t be angry with him,” Ava said and wipe Elena’s tears with her tiny hands.

Elena hugged her tightly.

THE NEXT DAY.

Harrison opened his eyes, his head hurts so much, he recalled what happened yesterday, but instead of sleeping on the floor, he found himself on the bed.

He groan and seat up, Elena entered the room with a cup of lemon juice.

“This will help.” She said looking sad and weak, he collected it and drank it all.

“I’m really sorry for yesterday, everything was too much for me,” Harrison said.

“That does not mean you should drink yourself to a stupor, do you know how hard it was for Ava to see you on that condition?” Elena half yelled.

“I don’t know, am sorry, please,” Harrison said.

“Fine, get up and have your bath, we are going somewhere,” Elena said.

“Where?” Harrison asked.

“We are having an interview with the red table show, and we are going to attend it,” Elena said in an order.

“That will make everything worst Elena, the world hates to see me now,” Harrison replied.

“And you can’t keep on hiding from the world or the media, this is a common misunderstanding and things will get even worst if we decided to keep quiet.”

Elena yelled.

“Fine, am going, happy?” Harrison asked.

“Sounds better, I will go get Ava ready for school, dress up before that, please.”

Elena said.

The red table show

Elena, Harrison, Sara and a male and female journalist were all seated at the red table.

Sara too was invited since her face was clear in the video.

“Good morning all, Thanks for accepting our invitation, am Ashley and this is my colleague, Andrew,” Ashley said.

“Thank you.” They replied.

“So miss Sara, right now, the world, all the social media, is showing this program live, what can you say about the trending video of you and Mr Harrison having sex?” Ashley asked.

“What am I going to say? I will say it feels good, Harrison has been my first ever love and I missed him so much yunno.”

Sara chuckled.

The journalist felt so irritated with Sara.

“So what do you gain from releasing the video if you truly love him when you clearly know that it will tarnish his image?” Andrew asked.

“I want the world to know that Harrison is not who they think he was, and he is lying when he described Elena to be his queen of heart when am actually his d*ck keeper,” Sara said.

“Enough of this Sara, you have no shame, huh, you think you have won? This won’t change anything between me and my husband.” Elena shouted.

“We are really sorry Mrs Elena, this is a show, and Sara has the right to speak.”

Andrew said.

“Back to you Mr Harrison, what can you say about this?” Andrew asked.

“I don’t know if the world will believe me at all, I’m not the weak type but I’m really weak now, when I and my wife got our first divorced, I was drunk and sad, Sara used that opportunity to have sex with me, she raped me if that’s the best word to use, to destroy my marriage since I told her I have nothing to do with her, she sent the video first to my wife just to separate us, but our bond is strong, and my wife understands everything, Sara did everything just to ruin me, my career and my relationship with my wife, if there is something I have learnt from this, then is never to expect anything from human beings.”
