Buried Once, Regret Forever

Marianna's POV.My heart ached, feeling like it could shatter into pieces. I never expected this from Drey. Three years ago, a few months after we got married, my parents died in a car accident.Both of them didn't survive it. I was left with the company but I was too inexperienced to take over so I had Drey do it.Putting the pieces together, I realized he had known the secretary before I introduced her to him.I made him who he was today but he had been cheating all along. None of what we had was real, and now I'm carrying his child.I turned my face to my stomach, caressing my belly while tears blurred my vision.My baby is in danger. Drey will have us killed tomorrow.Will anything change if I tell him about the baby? No, it won't. I had been a standby right from the start, someone meant to be used and discarded.“You can turn the tide, Anna,” something in me whispered. “It's never too late to be in control of this game”I moved out of my hiding place and walked towards the stairs

Alexander's POV.The whole space reeked of medicine and blood. The stench of antibiotics clinging to my nose.I stood with my arms crossed, watching the unconscious lady in front of me as the machine beeped slowly beside her.A male doctor stood by her side, examining her with a chart in his hands.Her hands moved and her eyes fluttered open shortly after.“Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?” The doctor asked, examining her once again.I watched in silence until she was made to sit on the bed.She looked confused, unable to say a word.“Where am I?” She asked the doctor, her eyes moving around everywhere.When I picked her up from the cold floor last night and brought her to the hospital, the doctor had said she had hit her head hard and there was a risk of amnesia.“This is a hospital. Do you remember anything that happened?” The doctor responded.“If you have confirmed that she's okay, leave the room” I said coldly. “I will do the questioning”The doctor bowed slightly, leaving th

Marianna’s pov, “Where am I?? I asked, facing a young man in front of me who have been examining my whole body. How is she doctor?? from another voice coming in through the door, I raised up my head to see Alexander the man who had falsely claimed that I was his wife. This was when I realized that I was in a hospital. Let’s talk in my office, the doctor said to Alexander, Okay doctor I will be with you shortly. “How are you feeling now my darling?? Alexander said as he turned to look at me, meanwhile I was lost in thought as I was busy contemplating if I should let him know the truth or not. “Darling! Alexander called out again, “You lied to me,’’ I said to Alexander who was already confused but looking at me he could tell that I already recovered my memories and there was no way he could keep on lying. I needed to get married in order to take over my grandfather’s company, and then I saw you on that road that night lying on the ground gasping for breath afte

Alexander’s pov. I was in my private chamber when I heard a knock on the door, Alexander it’s me’, Marianna had shouted. ‘Good morning sunshine” I said while I tried to arrange her hair but she pushed me away, oh jeez! Why are you not putting on shirt, she yelled… Do I have to put on shirts in my chambers ?? You invaded my room unannounced, I said while smiling at her. “Oh goodness! I thought I knocked, am so so sorry, I will go right back there and knock while you get the door once again, she said teasingly while making her way to the door but I held her back looking deep into her eyes, I whispered into her ears ‘cut the drama Marianna”, why are you in my private chambers? she went dumb at the moment, while trying to escape me,she had whispered back in my ears, ‘you have gone insane Alexander” I’ve gone insane for you sunshine, i said while smiling at her but Marianna will not buy that smile, I always thought I was good at manipulating people but she’s got more skill on that

Marianna’s pov.Later that day Rowan had visited, Alexander told me about how his brother never liked visiting him, “what could have brought him here today” I pondered, just then Alexandar whispered in my ears… “he’s investigating” how he could read my mind at any time is overwhelming.“Brother” seems my house is becoming to your liking, “what a surprise” Alexander teased, just then I came in with two glasses of wine, “I can see that your mysterious wife is becoming more charming each day” “is your wife no longer to your taste? Alexander retaliated. Just then Rowan faced me, I could feel the heat that was coming before me but I can’t show a single weakness at a time like this, how come there’s no record of your past? He asked while looking deep into my eyes, “privacy I guess” that was not the answer he was expecting from me. At this time he could only smile at me and I smiled back too. Alexander was just watching, he knew I could handle this, so he didn’t bother interrupting. “Just t
