Two months later, following I cannot describe how much anguish, worry and heartache, I got an email from Elias' lawyer. The deal was, provided that I stay away from the police, the media and all legal recourse, I would be sent a substantial sum of money every month. Not wanting any more complications, as well as having bills and debts to pay, I agreed. The other proviso was that I was not in any way shape or form to seek contact with Elias or John. I had only been informed that they were in Ghana and that I would receive an update once a year, from Elias' secretary, and nothing else. So, once a year, just after John's birthday, I would receive one or two paragraphs, simply describing John's studies in school and his academic achievements. Nothing else. Then just a couple of months ago, the unimaginable happened. I got a personal email from Elias' secretary he had just been dismissed and partly from revenge, partly from guilt and also pity, he sent me my son's contact information. I wrote to him immediately. Two weeks later I got an email from him. A warm and loving email from my son", and now she has to stop, can no longer compose herself and is openly weeping....
