LOGINElena Torres (POV)I sat down quietly listening to Margaret acquire what I didn't do. Andrew already texted me on the situation of things and I really felt sorry for Selene's loss. I know how it felt to lose a child you have nurtured in your womb for months. A being that has become part of you. I almost lost myself when I thought I had lost mine."Can we watch the tape together so everyone would stop accusing me of what I did not do?" I asked in a low voice, trying to shove Margaret's hand which still rested on my shoulder. Her breath was all over my face, igniting anger within me at her baseless accusation. Her long artificial nails were digging into my flesh, intentionally."Are you asking that we watch how you committed a murderous act with our own two eyes again? You really want to traumatize us, don't you?" Margaret scoff, dusting off her hands as if she just touched a dusty surface."What are you afraid of? Why are you so keen on pinning this matter on me?

Andrew Kane (POV)Mama's eyes were weary with tears unshed, I wondered why she would cry for Selene's sake. The situation was expected, it's either she or the child survives it. I left her at the door and went in search of Ken who had already left the emergency room to his office. Leaving the nurses to dress her up. Uncle Drake followed me from behind, I pulled the metal door open and walked into the office. Ken was washing his hand by the sink and drying it with the towel hung on the hanger. "I thought you would manage the situation, you should have saved the child by all means," I said, pushing the chair opposite him backward to sit while Uncle occupied the next. "That's funny. You of all people knew how dire the situation is. She had already lost so much blood before she got here. I should be the one asking you what happened. What the hell happened in the mansion, she will be due next month. How come?" Ken asked, his voice dripping with curiosity as he looked between Uncle and
Andrew Kane (POV)"Do you think Elena is capable of such an act?" Uncle Drake asked, trailing his fingers on the edges of the railings. His gray hair glistened at the sight of the orange sun, stuck in the sky.After a moment of silence, I responded, "is that even a question. Of course I know she wouldn't think of it not to talk of executing it," I replied, restraining the urge to roll my eyes."Well, people change over time, so tell me if she has anything to gain in the process," Uncle Drake said, twirling the golden ring in his finger."She has nothing whatsoever to gain Uncle, nothing at all. If not punished and exiled. The Southwest would want to push Elena according to their laws because this sin was committed against them. It makes no sense for her to act in such a manner," I stated with a shrug as if what I just said was the most basic thing."What if that is what you wanted to believe so badly? That Elena might be capable of such a heinous crime but in order to keep her safe, y
Andrew Kane (POV)"I warned you about this girl Andrew, didn't I? I specifically told you that she's up to no good and would bring you nothing but trouble. Can you see for yourself now?" Margaret seethed with anger, pacing to and fro in the hospital passage.This part of the hospital was reserved for my family alone and Ken knows better than to allow commoners up here."Mama stop, there's no evidence that she did it, moreover Lena is my mate and there's no reason for me to regret. She has been nothing but good and respectful towards you. I don't know where all this is coming from and I won't stand here and watch you speak about my wife in such a condescending manner," I warned, my eyes sending threat silently without raising my voice."Drake, can you hear that? My own son is threatening me because of a girl from the gutter. Because of a girl that brought nothing when she got married to my son. She has definitely bewitched him and I hope it wouldn't be late for you to realize that," Ma
Marcus Kane (POV)"Is she okay? I hope she and the baby are safe," Elena questioned, fidgeting with her fingers as she stares at me."She can die for all I care. Are you hungry because I'm famished as it is," I stated, walking to her side of the room after speaking to Andrew."Seriously, don't you see how important this situation is and you think the next thing I would be craving for is food?" Elena asked, her brown eyes filled with water again and I was filled with guilt."You wouldn't starve yourself because of that lady either. She put herself in that situation. Why should you suffer for it? You clearly told me that you didn't do it," I said, taking her hands in mine.Elena nodded, "but no one believed that I wasn't the one who pushed her. They all witnessed it, and my hand was sticking out like this when they looked in my direction. Shock and disbelief written all over their faces. No matter how hard I explain, it wouldn't make the situation better," she said, showing me how her h
