ELINNA

On the drive home, I just kept thinking to myself.

Was I ready for them to know that I was alive again?

Did I want them to see me and know that I was back?

Just as Lily had said earlier, they didn't know that I was here. They didn't know what had happened to me after my marriage.

After all, now I had the money and the fame and they couldn't do anything to me.

Speaking of my family, I don't know if I should call them that. They hadn't behaved like a family did.

But something that Lily had said earlier crossed my mind.

“What happened to them? My father, I mean. Lily mentioned getting back at you for something. What is it?”

She sighed and looked up from her phone.

“That isn't my fault. Your father was pining for a business deal that was supposedly meant to bring his business back on its feet. But then I came into the picture and I took it. The investors liked my pitch more and it really affected his business. Somehow, they think that's my fault.”

Well, I guess that means that Lizz

    ELINNAWe brought Helen to the car, and Lawrence slipped into the front seat to drive but I wasn't getting in with them so I tapped on the window and he rolled it down. “My Queen, what is the matter? Is everything okay?” We need to get going. I turned my eyes towards the building. Everything that mattered to me was right here and I couldn't just stand up and walk out. “Lawrence, I have to go back in there for him. I can't let him go, I don't know what she's going to do to him if I just leave. What if she kills him?” He got out of the car. “My Queen, I understand your fear but the king is fine alone. He is the only one that can handle her. If you go in there, all you'll do is cause a distraction. Let them sort things out. Besides, he made me swear to get you both to safety. If I let you go back in there, you might not come out.”I knew I was taking a very big risk with going back inside but it was one I wanted to take because I didn't know what would happen. I didn't know if this

    CARLISLEAs soon as I knew that they were out of the room, I focused my attention on Lizzy. “How did you know all about that? The reason I married her, the curse and the fact that we were mates?”“Why don't you drop all your weapons on the ground first? I like to know that we're both fighting fair. Drop everything on you on the ground including your phone.”I did as I was told even bring out my gun that was perfectly tucked away were she wouldn't see it. “Are you happy now?” She nodded like a child. “Very. Now, what was your question? How I knew all about that? Well, you forget that I once meant something to you, you once used me and dumped me. While I was your assistant, I had access to your files and your private life. I knew that the reason you wanted to get married so quickly was because you were desperate for something. I just didn't know what you were desperate for. So I went looking for answers. I was right in front of you and you couldn't see me. You went ahead to marry so

    ELINNAPresent Day…I looked at Carlisle as he stared at Lizzy in disbelief, then his eyes dropped to the ground. My life has never been the same since it happened. I just couldn't bring myself to believe that I'd been carrying wins in my stomach but I only got to carry one home. I didn't deserve that. When Brad told me about the news, my whole world came crashing down and I couldn't believe that something like that could have happened. For the next one month, I began wondering if I had something to do with it. Maybe I lay down in a wrong position one day, maybe I didn't excercise or take my medication right or maybe I was being punished for leaving Carlisle. I didn't know what it was that I'd down wrong. The doctor say that it wasn't my fault, it wasn't one's fault but I'd have felt better if there was someone to blame. “Elinna, is she saying the truth? Did you have twins?” The hurt in his eyes made him looked like he had aged ten years and his voice was so low. I could hear th

    ELINNA“Of course, I just need to check a few things out. How far along did you say you are?” “Um, I'm nine months gone. But the delivery date isn't for another three weeks. Is everything okay?” She looked at the monitor for a while before standing up. “Excuse me.”I just lay there wondering what the hell must have happened for her to act like that? Was there something wrong with me or my babies? Eventually, I was left alone in the room, just staring into the light. Where the hell was everyone? I didn't know what was going on or why they left me all alone. I pressed the call button so many times but none of them came in. Eventually, I began to feel the pain in my stomach. At first, I thought I could manage it but when it increased and got so bad that I couldn't even lie down anymore, I knew that I had to stand up and go get help. As I grabbed the IV and made my way out of the room, I met the nurses and Brad at the door. “Elinna, where are you going? Is everything okay?” “T

    ELINNAFOUR YEARS AGO…The day of the birth. Brad and I had plans to go shopping that day. One.of the baby car seats that we had ordered had come in faulty so Brad and I decided to run back to the store to get it replaced. “Hi, how may I help you?” I smiled back at the receptionist whose smile seemed a little too bright. “Hi, we got some car seats from your store and one of them didn't seem to be in good condition. We were hoping you'd check it out or at least, change them?”She came out from behind her desk. “Of course, let me take a look at it.”Brad was the one who was holding it so I didn't miss the way she looked at him as she walked over to him and collected it. As she walked away, Brad turned back to me. “Maybe I should tell her that we're not together. She seems interested in you.” He frowned. “Who?”I gave him a look. He always pretended like he was oblivious to things, especially women. As I was about to answer, a sharp pain shot through my stomach and I grabbed i

    CARLISLEIt seemed like the things she said didn't register in my head. “What did you say? You're wrong. Gomez isn't awake yet. If he were, I would have been informed of it.”She let out a laugh. “Why don't you call Alex? Ask him about it and he will tell you.” I brought out my phone and called him immediately. “Alex-”“Gomez is awake. I just got to the hospital now. The doctors are still with him. What did you want to tell me?” That was all I needed to hear. I removed the phone from my ear and put it back in my pocket. She watched my every move. “So, now you see that I'm not wrong right? Don't worry, my brother won't harm him. That's as long as I get out of here untouched. But if I don't, say goodbye to him and all the doctors there.”Gomez was awake…I was finding it hard to focus on what I was even saying or seeing. He was finally awake after several months and once again, his life was in danger. “Lizzy, why are you doing this? Please just let all of them go. Its me you want.
