Chapter 25: Stupid and In Love
Elena’s P.O.V
“Is he still following us?” I asked Landon through gritted teeth, my hands clenched on the seat. I was trying hard to suppress the nausea that kept churning in my stomach, threatening to empty out my already empty stomach.
“No.” Landon glimpsed at the rear view mirror momentarily before returning his attention back to the road. “I think we lost him when I took a diversion through Orange Street. He isn’t familiar with the roads here so I’m sure we won’t be seeing him anytime soon.”
I released a breath I hadn’t been aware of holding and slumped back in my seat. Slowly, I uncurled my nails from the car seat and placed them on my lap. My knuckles were white and my hands hurt from the strain of holding onto the seat for so long. “He isn’t going to let this go, is he?” I asked Landon, my voice sounding a bit breathless.
I expected Landon to be reassuring that he and my da

Chapter 26: Rash Decisions Elena’s P.O.V The house was everything I always wanted. The huge living room was the first sight that greeted me as soon as I entered the door. The kitchen was to the left with an area for a dining table where a table for eight could easily fit in. There were three guest rooms on the ground floor with a common bathroom and four bedrooms on the first floor, each with their separate bathrooms. The windows were huge and the ceilings tall and the house was painted an array of pastels with each room being a different theme. The master bedroom was a beautiful green. But one thing I noticed immediately was that the entire house was devoid of any furniture. After I had inspected every room, been to every corner of the house, I turned to call for Landon but found him leaning against the doorjamb of the master bedroom. When he saw me looking at him, he straightened and came to stand in front of me. Th

Chapter 27: What do I want? Elena’s P.O.V Landon and I didn’t talk as he drove me back home. Thankfully, Knight and his family had gone by the time we returned. I hadn’t wanted to but Landon had forced me to have some dinner along the way by reminding me that even though I didn’t want to, but my baby needed sustenance. However, when I reached home, my mother was the only one there to welcome us. “Mom?” I asked, peaking around her to look inside the house. “Where is everyone else?” “On a little sleepover at your uncle’s.” My mom told me. “I figured we should have a girl’s night since we haven’t had one in so long.” “I’ll take your leave now then.” Landon told my mother before stepping off the front porch. “Thank you, Landon. Take care.” My mother called out and Landon waved at us before he entered the car and drove away, leaving me alone with my mom. “Come now.” My mom opened her arms for me and

Chapter 28: Coming HorrorsElena’s P.O.V“I…I’m sorry…for the other day.” Knight apologized. He had his hands on his lap and his face drawn in harsh lines. He had bags under his eyes, indicating that he hadn’t been sleeping well.“Why did you do it?” I tilted my head to the side, studying him. I didn’t know him well enough to understand if he would lie to my face, but I hoped he would give me an honest reply.“Couldn’t we have spoken somewhere privately?” He asked finally, loosening his tie as he looked around at all the people inside the restaurant. I had purposely chosen a public setting because I was pregnant and my hormones were everywhere. I’m pretty sure anyone to persuade me to buy a grenade right now and I wouldn’t even blink. And I needed to keep my head straight. Plus, two of my father’s guards were sitting on a tab

Chapter 29: Who and Why?Elena’s P.O.V“It’s not the entire video.” Knight’s voice was shaking with nervousness, just like the hands that held the tablet.I almost collapsed in relief and if I wasn’t already sitting down, I would’ve fallen to the floor.After we had seen the news, for a few moments, it had felt like my life my over. But thankfully, Knight had acted quick and contacted the website director and told them to take the degrading news down immediately or he would be suing the company for a few millions. The company had taken down the post and deleted all files immediately but I was afraid it wasn’t going to end here. Within the two hour time frame that it had been on the internet, several people would have saved up the document or at least taken screen shots and it would be those rumors that would circulate the internet for a long time to come.Landon had c

Chapter 30: The Real CulpritElena’s P.O.V“Emanuel…” I whispered as realization struck me.I didn’t think anyone would’ve heard me but everyone turned to look at me at that moment.“Emanuel?” Knight frowned. “What about him?”“I’ve seen him before.” I told everyone in the room. “I couldn’t remember until now but it was at the fashion show where I first met Knight. I ran into him when I was coming up the stairs from the storage.”“That’s impossible! Are you sure about that?” Knight asked incredulously.“Was Emanuel there with you that night?” It was Landon who asked that question. “Who did you attend the fashion show with?”“I-I…yes.” Knight finally admitted. “Emanuel went to the show with me but he left halfway through since there w

Chapter 31: ReasonElena’s P.O.VLandon, Leo and I stood on the left wing of the hotel corridor while my dad and two of his men took the right. We could all see each other from our hiding spot but we remained out of sight from the room Emanuel was in.Knight went ahead and knocked on the door.It didn’t take long for Emanuel to answer but as soon as he opened the door just the slightest and laid eyes on Knight, his face drained of color completely. He looked like a deer caught in the headlights but he was trying too hard not to let his fear show on his face.“Knight?” Emanuel almost looked genuinely surprised as he stood guarding the door. He looked behind him once and pushed the door only slightly open so only his face was visible. “What brings you here? I thought you went to see Elena.”“I did.” Knight said patiently. “I actually had something to talk t

Chapter 32: I’ll waitElena’s P.O.VI woke up to a constant beeping sound coming from near me. Irritated, I tried to move my hand to shut off whatever the sound was, but I found that I couldn’t move my hand.“…need to do this…”What was that? Was someone near me?“…why? ...you knew…”Landon…I knew that voice!“…yes but…”And Knight! They were near me! But why couldn’t I see them? Why couldn’t they hear me? See me? What was going on?The sound of the beeping increased and so did their voices. They were talking about something…but what?“You saved her life.” It was Knight’s voice. “If you didn’t get her to the hospital in time, Elena could have been in grave danger…we could’ve lost our baby…thank you.”

Everything wasn’t clear in the sonography but as much as I could see, I fell in love with my baby even more.“Do you want to know the sex of the child?” The doctor asked.I looked up at Knight, who was sitting very still and squeezing the life out of my hand. “Knight?” I asked when he didn’t answer.He looked at me nervously, still deciding on what to do. I was nervous too but I think it was finally time to know the gender of my baby. Especially science the doctor just announced that I was to have my cesarean section in eleven days. I still found it hard to believe that I was nine months pregnant and about to give birth to my baby and I did
