Elena Torres (POV)I was rooted to where I was standing with my right hand still shooting out in the air in shock. Selene was writhing in pain at the bottom of the stairs, a pool of blood surrounding her as she cried out loudly in pain."No, no, no, I didn't do it, I swear on my life. I didn't even know she was behind me, I only moved to the side and she fell," I rushed to explain without being asked, beads of sweat forming on my forehead making my make up feel sticky and itchy.Trepidation settled on my shoulder, shoving itself into my face as it danced to the beat of an unseen drum."How could you do this to your fellow woman? Are you so jealous and heartless to the point that you wanted to see her dead? I can't believe the kind of creature that you are but one thing is certain you are evil and one deserving of death," Margaret screamed at me, her green eyes blazing with fire and hot hatred towards me.The maids who were at the table dishing out the food stared at me in total disbel
Elena Torres (POV)The following morning, rays of warm sunlight poured into the room from the high windows whose curtains had been pulled aside. The sunlight casted the shadow of the welded windows on the bare floor, forming a rectangular shape with small boxes in it.I yawned loudly, stretching and groaning as my bones made a funny sound. My hair was rough and all over the place and the duvet was almost on the floor. I pulled it up, yawning again, laying down in bed. I closed my eyes in sleep disguised as meditation."Get up woman, don't sleep the day off, breakfast is in twenty minutes," Andrew's deep voice vibrated through the walls of the room, resounding in my ears.How can someone sleep late and still wake up early? I wondered, ignoring his words, eating breakfast together is not compulsory while making it a ritual here."It's a family breakfast, you don't want to be on mom's bad side early in the morning," Andrew warned, which made me flung my eyes open."You can just tell her
Elena Torres (POV)My eyes watered immediately, gasping for breath and trying to hold on to anything my hand could find for support. Andrew kept patting my back gently to ease the tension in my chest. Everywhere was blurry and I really thought I was having an episode and my life was actually slipping away before my very eyes.This wasn't my first time sneaking out of the room into the kitchen anytime I'm thirsty and peeled apples instead. Moreover I loved the juicy taste of it and the calmness that settles on my shoulder after munching it bit after bit."There is bottled water upstairs, why bother to come all the way down to the kitchen. What if I didn't return on time? I can't just understand how you act sometimes. Raise your head up a little bit for more air," Andrew instructed, panic hanging on every thread of words he spoke.'Well I was just talking to Cece before your arrival,' I wanted to respond but did as he said instead. I could feel irritation clawing at his straight face.A
Elena Torres (POV) I woke up in the middle of the night feeling thirsty, my throat was dry and sore. The room was pitched black and Andrew's side of the bed was cold as ice. I could remember us going to bed together.I furrowed my brow as I groped through the room, running my hands over the door, I lowered it and found the handle. Relief coursed through me as I pushed the door open, a gust of fresh air slapped me in the face. Walking down the hall to the kitchen to get water.Hushed tones were heard, and my frown deepened wondering what could be going on. The big Italian clock says past three in the morning. It's too early for morning chores, supposing that is what this was about.I quickened my pace, feeling dehydrated more than I was before. I ignored the maids standing by to quench my thirst first. I took a long swig from the neck of the bottle. The cold water coursing through my throat below. I dropped the bottle on the table and moved to the fruit section.Madam Cece, the one in
Andrew Kane (POV)Mother was about to speak when she was interrupted by a loud deafening scream. We were all taken aback, staring at each other's faces with unasked questions.Our gaze drifted upstairs, where the scream came from. I shrugged, resuming our conversation. The scream interrupted again, this time it was louder than the first.Mother and I exchanged a knowing look before I bolted towards the stairs. The scream sounded like Selene's voice, I was already at her door in a fraction of second.Selene was lying on the floor with her legs spread apart and she was panting as beads of sweat formed on her forehead.LFeeling lost at what to do, I rushed to her side. Holding her hand, she held me tightly, sobbing silently."Are you okay, what's wrong? Do you need to sit on the bed? Talk to me, what's going on?" I asked in a fit of worry, staring at her pale face."We need to get her to the hospital immediately Andrew, quit asking her questions and start moving," Uncle said, standing a
Andrew Kane (POV)It was light out already and Lena just stumbled into a peaceful slumber, her chest rising and falling gently beside me.There was a knock at the door, my eyes rested on it wondering who it could be. Disentangling myself from Lena quietly so I wouldn't wake her, I walked to the door. What could be so important that it couldn't wait till tomorrow.I opened the door, it was a maid servant about to knock again when I flung the door open. She trembled backward, staring at the ground."What do you seek at this ungodly hour?" I asked, irritation clinging to the edge of my voice."I'm sorry to interrupt your sleep alpha, your mother sent for you," she relayed the message, her voice shaking."Why? Tell her that whatever she has to discuss can wait till tomorrow," I said, dismissing her but she refuses to move."She said your uncle is back and you should come greet him," closing my eyes in sheer distress, is she trying to trick me now just because she wants to talk to me.She
Elena Torres (POV)This time around I knew I was in trouble and had no escape from him. I turned around with a sheepish smile on my face, fidgeting with my fingers and toes."Follow me," Andrew said and rose up from his seat. I smirked, if he had gone hard on Blackthorn when he almost attacked Elde
Andrew Kane (POV)Selene was obviously enjoying the moment of banter between his father and my men. She sat down with her legs crossed over each other and her head raised in pride."I have had enough of the Northwest excuses for not coming to ask for my daughter's hand in marriage for alliances as p
Selene's PovI woke up this morning feeling dizzy and light-headed. I vomited a few times each time I smelled anything that worked against my stomach. Sitting down on the bed for several hours before gathering the energy to stand up.This wasn't a good feeling, not for me or the Southwest knowing f
Elena Torres (POV)I don't know what time it was when my eyes' lid flustered open or maybe I was the one imagining things because I couldn't see anything. Everywhere was pitch black and cold. Too cold for comfort.Stepping out of the bed to quench my dry throat, each step comes with effort and pain.
