MY HUSBAND OR HER'S

Chapter One Elara's POV It was today. Just like every marriage had an anniversary, mine did but it was a constant reminder that I was the second choice, I was the one who stood in the gap of some else. I've always craved to be Mrs. Lorne. But that dream almost did not happen but fate has other stories to tell but here I am suffering immensely the sins of another. I know you must be thinking I am the bad guy in this story, maybe I stole someone else's husband, but it was quite a steal, and I regret it now. I should have let things go.My name is Elara Vance. The only daughter to the Vance family. I come from an average family, nothing much but we could afford three square meals without a fault. I was married to the dreamiest man in the city. Mason Lorne. The CEO and billionaire of the Lorne Enterprise, a family business he took charge off when he was just a teenager, after his father had passed. But I was married to him now, on the outside we were a perfect couple and Mason was pol

Chapter ThreeElara"s POV I didn't wait for my appointment with the doctor, I headed straight to the parking lot, just as I was about to enter the car, I heard my name, I looked up , I saw Mason walking up to me."What do you think you were doing?" He asked with contempt, " Huh? I just came here for the monthly check up." I said showing him the notification, he looked at me, like I was lying."You shouldn't ever try to spoil the relationship I am trying to build with my wife's family." That word broke me, " His wife?" I thought to myself."Go home or something, that's what you are good at." He said and stormed off, I stood there I wiped off the tears that tried to slide down, as I got into the car as I turned on the ignition, I drove home lost in thought as my mind took me back to four years ago.Flashback..."Hi, how are you? .." I typed into my system when I heard a voice behind me,"You two are still talking?" I flinched, as I shut down the laptop, only to turn to see Selene, I

Chapter fiveMason's POV I came home late at work that evening, the sort of late when the house is too quiet and you know it is just waiting until you arrive. My tie was unfastened partially, the burden of the day pressing in between the shoulder blades. Ordinarily, I would detect some evidence of her having been here one lamp burning, her mug in the sink, a whiff of her cologne down the hall.Tonight there was nothing.“Elara?” My voice bounced form the wall as I placed my briefcase. The silence which replied was not, of late years, an unusual one; but it struck me to-night, as disquieting in a way, which I could not determine.I stepped up the stairs hoping to find her in the bedroom with her obstinate face that is so much more comfortable when we were quarreling. Instead it was deprived of her in the bedroom. Dressing tables, closets yawning half fit blue around, Against half a hanger rattling itself. I was clutched with emotion. The wedding ring shone up at me on the dresser in t

Chapter 7Elara's POV The news ran to my bones as they shivered my nerves. It felt like cold water was dumped on me. What does he mean by I was going to lose my baby. The only thing that is attached to Mason."But...can't anything be done? Science has evolved right..." I panicked, I was still in denial, "there's something you can do right!!" I broke down. Joyce held me as she hugged me closely, fresh tears broke out and began to pour but they didn't match the immense pain I was feeling inside."But why can't anything be done?" Joyce asked." Well, ectopic pregnancy is a delicate one. Her baby is attached by her fallopian tubes. She would need to get surgery to take it out." The doctor answered, " I'm so sorry, Ms. Elara." He began sadly, "I'll give you time to process all this and return when you are calmer to come to a decision." The doctor said, gave a short nod and walked out."I can't lose this baby Joyce..." I told her, she ruffled my shoulder in the bid to comfort me."It's go

Chapter 9Mason's POV I walked into my room, it was quiet, the sweet scent of Elara was still strong..it was only a matter of time before she disappeared. I tossed my brief case to the well laid bed, as I sat on the chair and took off my shoes. My hands on my forehead as I rubbed them.My phone beeped as it vibrated on my pockets, I took it out to see who had texted. It was Brent.He sent me a photo of Elara in the hospital. I couldn't wrap my head around the possibility of what could have happened."What happened to you and why are you here?" I asked like someone was going to magically give me an answer."This is her location, boss," Brent responded. I turned off the phone as I tossed it on the bed.I stood up as I took off my clothes heading into the shower, I let the cold water wash down all my hurt, technically.After I was done, I tied the towel around my waist, as I ran my hands through my hair, it was wet and had clumped together. I picked up the drier to do justice to it. I h
