로그인I was never a mother. Never been in love. Never even kissed a man. But the day two children called me "Mummy," My world turned upside down. Ethan Stark, a cold, powerful, and ruthless billionaire, believed I abandoned our kids and forced me into a loveless marriage with him. All I have are my words... and no proof of my innocence. How can I explain to him I don't know what he was talking about when there is a picture that says otherwise and my striking resemblance with the kids?
더 보기Elina's PovI promise.The two words echoed in my head as I hugged him. Why did I promise them that? Why on earth will you do that Elena? They are not yours.They pulled away and Camillia spoke. “Come, Mummy, let's show you our rooms,” she said, pulling my hand. I looked at Ethan and he nodded for me to go ahead with him. I turned back to look at Cam who was excited. Such a sweet soul. I smiled at her and stood up from the couch and went with her with Jayden following closely behind us. She led me through the hall and stopped in front of a door. She opened the door and stepped inside. I followed her and stopped in my tracks as I took in the room. It was simple but undeniably girly. The room was painted white but it was beautified with soft pink curtains framing the windows, swaying gently with the breeze.There were stuffed animals neatly arranged on the bed, like they had their own order. There was a small vanity sitting in the corner, cluttered with tiny clips and ribbons a
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
Elina's pov Ten minutes later, I was sitting in the back seat of Ethan’s car, heading toward a life I didn’t choose.Ethan was sitting beside me, silently scrolling through his phone like I wasn’t even there.I clenched my fists on my lap and broke the silence between us. “Why are you doing this?”He didn’t look up from his phone and he answered me. “Because I need a wife. And you owe me.”“There are thousands of women out there who would beg for that position and title. Why me?”He turned slowly to me, locking his cold piercing eyes with mine.“Because you are the perfect punishment.”My heart dropped. “Punishment… for who? For what?” I asked, confused.But he didn’t answer, he looked away from me, his attention going back to his phone and his lips curling slightly.“I need to know why you are doing this,” I said and he dropped his phone on his lap, facing me.“You have my attention now,” he said, his eyes looking at me with resentment. “What did you say again?”“I don't know why yo
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 PovHe turned slowly, finally facing me. And I froze. His piercing eyes locked onto mine, calm but unreadable. There was something unnerving about his stillness— like a storm waiting for the right moment to erupt.“You don’t know me?” he asked, his voice low and deep.My grip tightened on
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 pu
Elina's PovI also laid on the floor with her as things started breaking inside the house and stones were thrown inside.My phone went off on the couch and I crawled to get it. An unknown number flashed on my screen.I picked it up and put the phone against my left ear.“Sorry, this is a bad moment
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
