로그인Chapter 21Elara's POV I lay sprawled on the bed as the sun rays escaping through the curtains hit my face. I slowly opened my eyes, and I was still feeling very much asleep, but I couldn't find him around. The bed was empty, and the room was quiet, maintained, and I called. I slowly drifted my dusty. I slowly shut my eyes again, trying to muster the only energy I could find. Slowly, I regained my strength as I sat up, rubbing my eyes. When the duvet fell over my chest, it was only then that it dawned on me that I was without clothes, literally nothing.I gasped,"Wait, what the hell happened last night?" I tried my best to search my brain for the memory of last night, but it all came in flashes. I heard his voice, his deep voice, whispering it to me. It flashed back to my reality. We actually made love last night. I instantly felt a hot blush flush my cheeks and the tip of my nose. I didn't know what to feel, whether to be happy or sad, or to be scared. What if he had changed?
Chapter 20 Elara's pov We walked into the room, I supposed Wanmin, but he hand shut the door behind him, all the tears instantly got replaced by my fear as my heart skipped a bit. I turned slowly to him, he didn't say anything. The room was big with a king-sized bed with rose petals on it saying"Happy honeymoon." But this wasn't our honeymoon we were just drenched in the rain," This is for newly wedded couple...s" I said slowly, dragging my words."I know that....since we couldn't have our honeymoon, don't you think tonight makes it perfect?" He said, my chest tightened as I swallowed hard in nervousness.His gaze was glued to mine, like if he took it off, I'd disappear."Honeymoon?" I scoffed, feigning lack of interest. "Don't you think it's too late for that? We're 3 years in already."Mason flashed a warm smile, "you can say it is considering the way our anniversary went." He said, but I didn't mind.."You need to get dressed, and change into the dress I asked the motel to pro
Chapter 19Mason's POV "Do not test my patience." My father said briefly, his gaze fixed on me. The tension in the room began to increase, I felt a warm hand pull me away from my father."Mason.... please... don't" Elara's small voice said."You! You're the reason for this shenanigans!" my mother charged at Elara.The look of disbelief was all over my face, "What's with you two? You both asked me to marry her shortly after the death of Serene." I could understand why the sudden shift, 3 years ago they shifted me to her and now it's too Betty."You want to know? Yes, we asked you to marry her but what has been the product of this sham marriage? No child! No heir!!""And somehow it's her fault?"I threw back at them, I began hearing sniffing from? Behind me, it was Elara who was crying."You're wrong because in the three years we were married I didn't for once touch her." I dropped the bombshell, but it didn't matter."What are you talking about?" My mom drew close,"You heard me. I kn
Chapter 18Mason's POV There was no way, Brent was telling the truth, but the look on his intercepted my thought of the possibility of him lying."What do they want wth her files and my marriage certificate to Elara?" I asked, but there was no justifying answer for that."I don't know Mason. At first, it's a suspected enemy from your dad's past, and now this..." his voice cracked, "this is a mystery already." He concluded.I turned to Elara, her face went pale, and she was scared to the wits."Do you think Serene is alive?" Elara said as Brent and I turned sharply to her."Alive? She died three years ago from cancer, you know this...so how possible?" Brent questioned, but then it hit me."Or it could be a family friend of hers or an acquaintance."Elara immediately cut in," I doubt that, Serene and her grandmother have been isolated from family ever since her parents died."Just the police chief walked up to me from behind Elara,"We've questioned your domestic staff, they're all say
Chapter 17 Elara's PovThe slap was resounding, sending me off to lose balance, Mason immediately held on to me before I made it to the ground."Mom!" He yelled out loud d, his voice in a thunder, shook me. "How dare you lay your hands on her!"His mother glared at him then back at me, "Why wouldn't I? She put you in the situation!" She groaned, and I stood there my eyes filled with tears waiting to drop from my eyes.Brent stood in confusion, wondering how this was my fault."Really now? Then sorry to break it to you your husband is the cause of all this?" He resorted.Confusion etched her face, "What are you talking about?" She asked, looking at me then back to him."Let's get out of here, Elara" he breathed out, grabbing me by the wrist, he pulled me away, "Brent see that my parents leave his place" he instructed, Brent nodded, just as we were about to get to his car, the chief of police walked up to us."Are you two leaving?""Yes, we are. I'll leave you with our men to handle th
Chapter 16Elara's povPanic flowed through me as he caught my face with his palm, roughly shaking. I was literally drenched in fear. And it was... "You have to trust me, please. We don't have to fight about this," he said warmly. There was something about his voice. It was warm, but faint. I felt my mind shut out of the world I viewed around myself, and I wasn't feeling it. He then helped me into the car as he closed the car door and jumped behind the steering wheelsHis gaze was fixed on the road as he drove down the road under the splattering rain. Outside in the street was low in rain and smoke, but I couldn't get hold of what had just happened. It felt like something had just been in over. Confusion instantly surged through my thoughts, and I managed to ask, "What is going on? Where were you stalking me???'He remained silent with every harmony on the stereo wheel driving through that night, "For how long? Talk to me, Mason! " What is happening," I asked. He turned to me, "I
