ELINNA

In the silent room, I held his hand tightly to my heart, hoping and praying that he would wake up. That was all I wanted right now.

All hell was going to let loose eventually but right now, I would enjoy the calm that came before the storm because that was all that mattered right now. 

I felt a twitch so I raised my head immediately and I saw his eyes faltering open. With one quick move, I jumped out of my seat and pressed the nurse's call button.  

His hand was moving towards the tube in his mouth but I stopped him before he could touch it. 

“Don’t. Just let it be. The nurses are on their way to take it out. Just stay still.”

Excitement filled my heart as I saw him looking at me and I gave him a very wide smile. 

“Welcome back, Lawrence.”

I stepped aside as the doctor and the nurses came to attend to him, taking him off all the machines that he was hooked to. The d

    ELINNAI stood by as they came and wanted to take Lawrence away but the Lawyers stopped them and said that they had to consult with rh doctors first. Thankfully, the doctor understood the situation and said that Lawrence was in no way supposed to leave the bed. So they brought their camera and everything into his room. I couldn't be in the room while the investigation was going on so I just paced around outside while my mind ran wild. I knew Lawrence was smart so he wouldn't say anything that would implicate us..My mind just kept wandering around. Why were they trying to put Lawrence and I out of the picture and not Carlisle? “Babe, has anything strange happened to you recently?” He was on the phone so he ended the call and looked at me. “What do you mean strange?”“I don't know. Something weird. Something that normally wouldn't happen.” He stayed quiet for a couple of moments. I needed to know if he was off their radar yet and why. “I don't think so. Except Chase refusing ou

    ELINNA“Finding that safe house wasn't very hard. Whoever is in charge of that shit needs to do better. It was very easy. As for the dead officers, I didn't do that. They were already dead when I got there. How am I supposed to kill dead men or didn't you match the bullets that killed them to my gun?” They were trying to rile me up to say something but it wouldn't work. His partner spoke up. “You know what? You're right. The gun you were carrying was custom made, one of a kind. We'd recognize the gun and it's bullets anywhere. But the gun your bodyguard was carrying…now that's another story. Or didn't you check that part out. He carries a nine mil, doesn't he? The same kind of gun that was used to kill the officers. So if you didn't kill them, he did. And that makes you an accomplice.” That was just stupid. There were no gunshots when we got into the house and Lawrence would have told me if he had killed anyone in the house. But there was a silencer on his gun. Shit, now they ha

    ELINNAThere was a whole SWAT team outside and they were having issues getting in because obviously the men at the gate weren't just going to let a bunch of police men come into the house like they owned the place. I could see that guns were already being pointed at each other and if I didn't step in, very soon bullets would start flying around. “Put your gun down! Don't threaten a police officer!” “No! You put your gun down, you're in my house!” Screw me. Why wasn't Carlisle here to deal with this? “Gentlemen, please relax! Everybody, put your guns down!” No one budged. So I turned to the ones I knew would listen to me. My men put their guns down and so did the SWAT officers. “Gentlemen, I would assume there is a very good reason for the nuisance that's being constituted in my home this early morning. Why would you barge in? What if my baby was sleeping?” One of them stepped forward and handed me a piece of paper. “Mrs Elinna Evergreen, we have a warrant for your arrest. You

    ELINNAWe sat on the balcony and stared out in silence. I was taking the time to calm down because I had been crying and sulking like a two year old who had just realised that her dog had died.As much as I wanted to avoid this conversation and just go to bed, I knew I couldn't. So the best I could do was make it short. “Did you and the King fight?” I shook my head. “Did something happen to Lawrence?” I shook my head. “Did something happen to you?” Well, yes actually. But I couldn't say that. So I didn't respond. But I was feeling so much pain in my heart and I felt like it was going to burst so I just had to say something. “Mum, if you were faced with the chance to lose something that you loved and wanted so dearly just to save the life of someone that meant a lot to you, would you do it?” My mother didn't skip a beat. “I’d do it time and time again until there was nothing left to lose and then I'd give my soul. I'd give up the world for the one I love and then take it back

    ELINNALawrence had to stay in the hospital after that for a while later. Our conversations were limited so I couldn't even call them conversations. He wouldn't look me in the eye and he wouldn't even give me proper answers. At some point, I stopped trying when he wouldn't even acknowledge my presence in the room. I walked out of the room and closed the door behind me, walking past everyone that was sitting outside and went to get some fresh air. If anyone asked me why I was crying, I wouldn't know what to say? Thankfully, Carlisle wasn't there when I walked past. I tried to put myself in his shoes but I'm the one at a loss here. I'm the one who had paid a price for him to live and yet, he treats me this way. Why did I do such a thing for him? What did Lawrence mean to me? “They told me I'd find you up here.” Hearing Carlisle's voice made my heart sink and I turned around and straightened my dress so quickly like I was guilty. “What are you going up here?” He joined me on the
