~(Marcel’s residence)~
(8pm)
The tables has been set for dinner as Marcel placed the arranged the last plate on the diner table for the meal. He smile and rubbed his palms together.
“All done”
He muttered and walked back to the living room, ready for Ellie.
But his little break was cut short when a knock came on the door.
“That must be Ellie”
He said and stood up, walking to the door.
He opened it and a smile appears on his face. It was Ellie dressing in an fancy nice dress holding a bottle of wine.
She smile at Marcel.
“Am sorry, or did I come early?
I forgot to ask about the time for the dinner, so I just figured 8pm would be fine”
Ellie said.
“It’s fine…
You came at the right time
Come inside please”
“Thank you…
Ellie walked in and look around the house.
“Gosh, I didn’t know this guy is that rich…
Everywhere was so beautiful”
She thought as she looked around.
Marcel smile noticing the stare all over the house.
“You really did a great job, Marcel”
Ellie said.
“Thank you…
“Take, I brought this for you”
Ellie handed over the bottle of wine to him.
“A welcoming gift from me’
“Thanks, this will definitely go well with dinner”
Marcel smile.
********
Marcel and Ellie looked at each other as they ate.
“So, Marcel…
Don’t you have any siblings or a family?
Ellie asked.
If he has a brother, she could introduced him to Lauren also.
Ellie thought of that.
“Actually, I don’t have a brother”
He replied.
Ellie sighs disappointedly.
“But, I have a sister, her name is Hannah”
He added.
“Okay… Fair enough
She said and they continue eating.
“Ellie?
He called.
Ellie smile at him.
“The reason I called you here is because I have something to confess to you and I want you to know it first cos you are calm like I always know you.
You don’t panic when you hear a shocking news unlike your friend, Lauren”.
Ellie was confused.
“Do you know me before now?
“Yeah… I do
We’ve known each other for the past eight years now. I was even surprised you don’t recognize me”
“Are you one of my ex I don’t recognize or know anymore?
Marcel smile.
“Am not one of your exes, we were just vose friend”
“Then who are you?
Ellie asked as she eat a spoon of her meal.
“Am Ethan”
Marcel said.
“Okay?
Ethan…
Ellie replied still looking confused.
“Alright, I think I need to explain it to you in another way.
Remember when Ethan baker was sentenced to prison years ago.
And he was murdered right in jail?
Marcel said.
Ellie dropped her spoon, immediately she heard that.
“Are you saying you are Ethan baker?
Ellie asked.
Marcel smile and nodded.
Ellie bursted into laughter.
“Omg, Marcel… You are really very funny”
Please, just confess to me you have feelings for me”
“Ofcourse, I have feelings for you as a friend
Your are my girlfriend’s best friend”
Marcel replied.
“Are you being serious right now?
Ellie asked getting to know Marcel isn’t joking at all.
“Yeah…
What else do I need to prove it again?
How about the secrets Lauren share with the both of us? ”
” Yes…
What’s that secret?
Am going to believe you if you know that”
“Ofcourse, I do…
How do you think I know there is a secret?”
Marcel said and lean over to her.
“Lauren had a child, carried a pregnancy without mating with anyone right?
Doctor James also seems to know about it”
Ellie was shocked.
No one knew that about from Lauren, Ellie, Ethan and doctor James.
“Ethan baker?
Ellie called.
“Yeah, am right here…
Alive and well”
Marcel smile.
Ellie almost burst into tears.
“It’s really you?
“Yes…
Marcel smile and stood up. He walked to her and gave her a hug.
“Am back now, for good”
He said as he patted his shoulder.
“Come…
Have a seat”
Marcel lead him to the couch. The meal they were eating was already cold.
******
“What happened?
How come you are alive? We all your body being buried at the graveyard.
Ellie asked.
“My dad planned it all along..
“You have a dad?
Marcel nodded.
Am going to explain everything when I introduce myself to all of you”
But for now, please… Keep this away from the others especially our enemy”
Ellie nodded and smile.
Wow, so you were the one trying to separate the fight between Lucy and I at the mall?
Marcel laughed.
“And I got injured with an elbow for that”
“Am sorry about that…
I guess you were spying on me”
“No, I was only monitoring you all to keep you safe”
Marcel replied.

~8am, Linde Plc ~
Ellie walked into Lauren’s office.
Lauren smile when she saw her.
“So how did it go?
How was your lovely date with Marcel?
” It’s went well, but wasn’t what I expected”
Ellie replied.
” What do you mean?
“He is not single, he is already taken
That’s all I can say”
“Oh, am sorry about that.
Men are nothing but…. ”
Lauren said but Ellie cut her off.
“Marcel isn’t like that… He is a good man”
Ellie replied.
“Why are you supporting someone who didn’t tell you he already has a girlfriend?”
“No, it’s my fault…
I got the wrong idea”
“Well, wh@tëver you say..
Please there is a lot of office work to attend to today, so can you stand your @$$ up and go back to your office”
“Yes boss..
Ellie smile.
“Am going to go soon.
So, What about Mr Ethan?
Lauren sighs.
“Am really worried about him… I don’t know what to do anymore”
My son only sees Katherine at school now”
Ellie smile.
“I think you should forget about him
He doesn’t worth it”
“What are you saying?
“Trust me, someone else is good for you but not Mr Ethan”
Ellie replied.
Just move on”
“Okay?
This is becoming creepy, what’s going on Ellie?
Why are you talking like this?”
Lauren asked.
“Did Marcel did something to you?
“No, am fine…
Nothing is wrong with you”
Ellie replied.
“Are you sure?
“Talking of Marcel…
I need to see his picture.. maybe he got you swayed up from your feet with his hand some looks”.
Ellie sighs and went through her gallery finding Marcel picture.
What if she recognized him as Ethan baker?
She thought.
“Can I see his picture now?”
Ellie show him Marcel’s picture.
“Omg, this is the man you had an item for”
“What?
Ellie had thought Lauren had figure out it’s ethan baker.
“This is Marcel….
Ethan’s class teacher”
Lauren replied.
Ellie heave a sigh of relief.
“He is?
How come I didn’t get to know about that?
“Well, now you know…
And I think he is hiding something, he seems kind of creepy”
Lauren said.
Ellie smile.
“Okay, I think I need to get back to my office now”
Ellie said and stood up. She smile on her way out.
” I can’t wait for everything to come back in place”
She muttered.
