Daddy, We Found Mummy

Elina's Pov“I had a very bad day. Are you almost done with work? I can come pick you up, then we can have dinner together,” I said to Lily, my best friend.“I will be done in an hour. Buy Starbucks on your way. Love you,” she said before ending the call.I should change from my work clothes and put on something comfy. I stood up from the couch and walked inside my room. This was one of the biggest rooms aside from the dining room. Nanny gave me this room when she realized I wouldn't be going anywhere. I stripped from my work clothes and went under the shower. I let the water wash away my stress from work. After 10 minutes, I cleaned up and pulled on an ash jogger and a black polo. I braided my hair in a French ponytail, grabbed my card, and left the orphanage. I had to wait outside Lily's workplace for about 30 minutes, waiting for her. She was working in a law firm. Yes, she is a lawyer. A very good and crazy one at that.“Have you been sitting here for a long time?” I heard her

Elina's PovThe moment the door clicked shut, I collapsed onto the couch, the photo still clutched in my trembling hands.What the hell just happened?I stared at the picture again— I was smiling as I held the twins in my hands. Like they were mine. Like I was their mother.But I wasn’t. I couldn’t be. Right?I shook my head furiously, trying to push away the heaviness forming in my chest. No. This had to be some elaborate mistake… or worse, a setup.I had never given birth. Never had children. And I sure as hell never abandoned any. I would never do that.So how could a complete stranger walk into my house and accuse me of that?My mind went to Lily. She would know what to do. She could help me look into it. Maybe she would get answers. Maybe this Ethan guy was just some stalker with a fabricated story and a fake photo. Yes. That made more sense. It had to make more sense.I grabbed my phone and dialed Lily’s number. One ring. Two. Then it went to voicemail.I tried again. Still not

Elina's pov I didn’t sleep.Not even for a second.I couldn't even close my eyes. The events from last night kept playing over and over in my head.From the shattering of the windows, the bulldozer coming in to pull down the building, Lily getting injured from the attack, to my trembling hand signing away my life to a man I know nothing about.The marriage contract. To Ethan StarkI stared at the ceiling from my bed since I came to my room last night. My eyes were hurting from staring at the ceiling for too long but I couldn't take them away. I was afraid that once I closed my eyes or took my eyes off the ceiling, I would fall right back to the attack. It scared me so much.A sharp knock on the door jolted me upright and I blinked my eyes.I threw the blanket over me, stood up from my bed, and went to the living room.Lily was already at the door and had opened the door. Her arm was bandaged now but her posture was stiff. She had stayed over with me through the night.She turned to

Elina's povThe drive to what I think is his house was a long one. It was filled with uncomfortable and awkward silence. I stared out the window during most of the drive while glancing at Ethan once in a while. Other than his name and who he was, who I didn't even know fully, I knew nothing about him. Yes, he was handsome, painfully handsome with a sharp jawline, nice features but other than that he was ugly, on the inside. His heart must be black. So black that it might have affected his sense of reasoning. Come to think of it, who marries a woman only a day of knowing except a psychopath. He doesn't look like one but it isn't written on the face so one might not know. “Are you done staring?” His voice jolted me from my thoughts and I blinked, coming back to my senses. I realized I have been staring at him for a long time. The car was not moving now.“Ummh sorry,” I said as I dropped my gaze from him. “Babe,” he said and I looked at him back in confusion. “What?” I asked in
