CHAPTER FIVE

Selene's POV

Several minutes later, we arrived at my estate.

As soon as the taxi dropped me off, I saw Ethan's car drive into our compound.

Where was Kayla? He finally came back home, or did he come with Kayla? Someone he couldn't leave her side to see his wife even for a second. Someone he couldn't speak to me on the phone because she was sleeping and she might wake up. Why was he back here? I scoffed painfully.

After packing his car, he came forward to where I stood.

"Selene where are you coming from?" He muttered, his tone accusatory.

"As if you care, Ethan," I muttered, my tone bitter. Sharp pain cutting through my chest.

"Selene. You know I care, where are you coming from?" He muttered again, then his eyes darted off to my hand and swiftly, he hijacked the nylon I was holding.

I didn't pack the medications with my clothes earlier to prevent them from breaking or whatnot. For that, I held it in my hands.

My heart pounded faster in my chest. What if he finds out I'm pregnant? Ethan would only hold me down here while he moves around with his mistress. He could take my baby away from me before granting me a divorce.

My hand shook from fright. Suddenly, he raised his head.

"If you were sick, shouldn't you have told me?" He muttered, his tone angry.

Heavy sighs escaped my lungs, he didn't get to find out. Did he even look at anything in that nylon?

"Why didn't you tell me you were sick?" His voice echoed.

I shook my head at him.

He had lost his mind.

Retrieving the nylon from his hand, I took the way to our entrance.

Just then he called my name.

"Selene." He called, his voice soft now.

I looked back at him, my expression puzzled. What does he want now? I should've told him I was sick? When he knew my blood was drawn and yet he left me there to die? As if I were a chicken and Kayla was the only human in his life.

"I'm sorry I forced you to donate your blood. But that was needed for Kayla to survive." He muttered.

He could've just shut up. What was he saying? Was he apologizing or shoving to my face again how he valued Kayla more than me?

Without uttering a word, I turned to leave. I haven't recovered completely yet, I was just discharged from the hospital.

Then he followed behind me, holding my arms back. What was his problem? Was I needed for another blood transfusion? For a moment, my heart skipped a beat.

"Didn't you hear what I said? I just apologized Selene." He voiced, his eyes digging into mine. Okay, now he had added being scary to his atrocities. Indeed I had lost him, there was no coming back.

I shook my head, with tears welling up in my eyes.

"I heard you Ethan, can I go in now?"

"No you can't, except I say so."

Okay, another rule.

I stood there where my master had asked me to remain. But now my eyes had begun spinning again. And I said it. I hadn't recovered fully.

Slowly, I was losing my balance. I saw his brows raised. Maybe he was noticing it.

I must leave now, or else I hit my head on these white tiles.

But just as I lift my leg. I missed my step, and my eyes were now blurry. I was going down, I was falling again. What if I lose my baby? Panic set into my heart. I couldn't even trust Ethan to save me from falling. Tears slipped down a side of my face.

I had given up on being saved as I held tightly to my lower abdomen hoping that would save my baby.

A few seconds later, I still hadn't gotten to the floor. Slowly, I opened my eyes to see Ethan's strong arms wrapped around me. His eyes were looking down at my face. I was lost for a moment as my eyes scrutinized his face. This was the man I had fallen deeply in love with back then at the University and still love to date. The man whom I knew had shown me nothing but pure love for the past five years of my life.

My heart couldn't help but twist in pain at the fact that he was now distant and no longer the man I used to know.

I winced, as I felt the dull ache in my abdomen return.

"Selene?" He called, removing his hand and I stood straight, away from his arms, was that panic I saw in his eyes?

"You look very sick, what's going on with you?" He asked, his brows raised and staring at me.

I didn't want to say anything, but I couldn't hold it in anymore. My blood was swimming in so much anger to just wanted to walk past him.

"Ethan. Do you ever love me? Of course I shouldn't ask that.. because it's obvious. There's no way I'd spend a whole week in a hospital and you wouldn't know, if you truly take me as your wife!" I muttered, my voice bitter.

His eyes dug into mine. As if surprised.

"Are you affected anywhere? Do you feel pain in any way? Did the doctor say you have a blood shortage? Tell me Selene are you feeling pain anywhere!" He yelled, startling me where I stood.

What had come over him? Does he care now? When he was forcing me against my will he didn't know I would be affected?

Before I knew it, he grabbed my hand.

"We are going back to the hospital." He muttered sweeping my legs from the floor.

What was he doing? Does that mean my husband was still around in his body, the one who cared for me so much and doesn't joke with anything that concerned me?

For a moment, my heart fluttered, was my Ethan back to me?

But just as we got to his car, his phone started ringing.
