Rowland’s POV.

My brow arched as I leaned on the chair. Elena barely wants to have conversations, except when it is work. This didn’t sound like work. "Carry on.”

She cleared her throat, then slid a small file towards me. “This is my resignation letter, sir."

For a second I simply stared at it.

Then I looked back at her.

My mouth hung open.

“What?”

A nervous laugh escaped her.

“I knew that would be your reaction.”

“You’re joking.”

“I’m not.”

  • Married to a Narcissist, Pregnant With My Ex’s Child   Resignation.

    Rowland’s POV. My brow arched as I leaned on the chair. Elena barely wants to have conversations, except when it is work. This didn’t sound like work. "Carry on.” She cleared her throat, then slid a small file towards me. “This is my resignation letter, sir." For a second I simply stared at it.Then I looked back at her.My mouth hung open.“What?”A nervous laugh escaped her.“I knew that would be your reaction.”“You’re joking.”“I’m not.”I picked up the letter and skimmed through the first few lines before dropping it back onto the desk.“Elena, you’ve worked here for years.”“I know.”“You’re one of the best people I have.”“I know that too.”“Then why?”She looked down at her hands.“I have come to realize my place isn’t here.” She shook her head. “I don’t want to spend the rest of my life chasing what’s clearly not mine.” I rubbed my chin slowly. Observing her. She looked different. Like she was so sure of this moment. Like she had practiced time and time again. “Is it bec

    Selene’s POV. “What? Are you sure about this?” “Yes, ma'am. Right here in New Orleans.” "How…is…that…possible?" My words came out uneven. Then I remembered the stack of clothes. I won’t mention it. Not yet. "Well, it’s possible she’s around somewhere.” The officer said. “Three transactions in the last forty-eight hours."Silence. “A grocery store.”“A pharmacy.”“And a toy store.”My fingers shook slightly. Nora’s eyes locked on me from across the room, and I flashed a smile. “Maam? Might you know where she might be?” “Do…do you think she’s with Tom?” I asked. “Are you saying your ex-husband is likely to do something of the sort?" I leant back in my seat, my mind racing. “I really don’t know, officer. I really don’t.” “We are actively looking for them both, ma'am," he began. But if you have any information that might help. That could speed up the process.” I thought about the scattered clothes and Amira’s stuffed teddy. “No, I don’t, sir." “Very well, ma'am. We would be i

  • Married to a Narcissist, Pregnant With My Ex’s Child   Restart.

    Selene’s POV. I froze instantly. My heart made a little flip in my chest. My arms wrapped instinctively around me. Something wasn’t right. Then my eyes landed on the bathroom door slightly ajar. I could have sworn this entire place was tidy before I left. A shiver ran up my spine. Yet again, was it really? I took slow steps forward and reached for the door. The creaking sound from its hinges while I closed it was louder than it should be in the lonely house. I would take care of this mess later. I turned to leave. Then I noticed it. The stuffed rabbit. Amira’s stuffed rabbit. Lying just there, over the pillow. I gasped. The air from my lungs was knocked out. I closed my eyes shut for a minute, a silent prayer on my lips as I slowly opened them up again. It was still there. This shouldn’t be here. I packed all these away after the funeral. It’s been months. My hands trembled as I took the stuffed rabbit in my palms. Giving it a little squeeze. It looked too n

  • Married to a Narcissist, Pregnant With My Ex’s Child   Loopholes.

    Selene’s POV. My legs went weak. I took a step back to get a better look at the man standing. A part of me wants to walk up to my room and act like everything never happened. Like my life wasn't slowly crumbling. Father leaned forward in his seat, and Mom's eyes were fixed on me. “What…what about her?” The officer exhaled. “It seems she might be missing.” My heart sank. The guilt of not having heard from her and not bothering to reach out clawed at my chest. “Missing?” Mother gasped. “Ssh,” Dad said, pulling her back. “What do you mean missing?” I asked the officer. “Well, it appears she might have arrived in the city some months back. Her travel records show she landed here. But an alarm was raised from her workplace that she hasn't been around, which is strange because you stay at her house, don't you?" The not-so-intimidating one asked, standing up from behind. My head thundered loudly. I placed my hands over my chest and took the seat next to me. Mother

  • Married to a Narcissist, Pregnant With My Ex’s Child   I am not crazy.

    Selene’s POV. My phone has been bombarded with calls from Mom all afternoon. I wasn’t ready to pick up. How do I explain to her where I have been all this while? I felt the slight reddening of my cheeks. I sat across from Rowland in the passenger seat. He wouldn’t allow me to drive back home. Not in my shaken state. I wasn’t shaken anymore, really. I haven’t felt this calmness in my nerves since Amira died. We made love yesternight. Like a reconnection of our bodies, the past and the present. I had allowed myself to feel things. Things I never thought I could feel again. I couldn’t help but smile at how protective and angry he was last night when he heard about Tom. I stole a quick glance at him. His grip on the wheel was tight, and his eyes were fixed on the road. He didn’t utter a word. Did I do something wrong? I sat still, letting the silence wash over us while I fiddled with my fingers. “Mmhmm,” he started, without averting his eyes from the road. “Th

  • Married to a Narcissist, Pregnant With My Ex’s Child   Are you jealous?

    Selene’s POV.She was beautiful.Elena.She sat across from me while I sipped water from the glass. I recognized her from the funeral. I never quite got to know about her.She was around Rowland most of the time. But I couldn't have cared any less; I was far too preoccupied to be concerned.But now, I stared at this young woman, who fidgetted with her fingers. Fully copernicately dressed and her perfume.Goodness.A slight sting of jealousy hit me when I opened the door and there she stood, all fair-faced and smiling.I had no idea where Rowland went to.Rowland stepped in seconds later, his eyes wide as his gaze moved from Elena to me."Elena," he muttered.I caught the flush of color to her face before she looked away.“Hi, Mr. Rowland.”I stood up quickly, very well aware of Rowland's shirt on me, and walked to Rowland's side.“I have been looking for you everywhere, Rowland.” I said, placing my hand over his arm briefly.The sudden urge to claim him in front of this woman who I kn
