ELLE

It happened in slow motion. One minute, I was filled with relief when I saw Milo at the top of the stairs. All I wanted was to run up to him, grab him and run out and let the police deal with Mira.

The next, my baby was falling. It was so fast, yet so slow. I will never forget the sound of his body hitting each step as he fell, and the way I flinched with each sound, frozen by terror as I watched.

Mira’s hands were outstretched as though she was the one who pushed him, but at that moment, I couldn’t be bothered with her.

The final thud as Milo’s body dropped a few feet away from me unfroze everything. My scream tore past my throat. “Milo,”

My legs buckled, but I forced them to move, lurching forward, as every part of my body shook violently. My heart threatened to cave in as I rushed towards my baby, but Theon was faster.

“Milo,” He bellowed, moving past me as he scooped Milo from the ground like he weighed nothing, and Milo’s hand fell limply to the side. He wasn’t moving.

    ELLEThe hospital blurred as my feet hurried towards Milo. Nurses asked me if I was okay, but I couldn’t answer. I didn’t trust myself to say anything sensible, so I said nothing. “Ma’am?” A nurse stopped me when I tried to open the door and it was then I remembered that we couldn’t see him just yet. I dropped my hands and then turned to the nurse with an apologetic smile. “I’m so sorry. I have a lot on my mind that I forgot that I wasn’t supposed to be here yet,” She smiled, then shook her head, “You can actually go in now. I just wanted to let you know that you have to be quiet when you go in,”“Oh, really?” I asked, and she nodded “Thank you,” I told her, the relief bringing tears to my eyes as I entered the room without delay. Milo lay still on the bed, breathing softly into the mask. The nurse had told me it looked worse than it actually was, but I had a hard time treating it as nothing because of how bruised his skin was.It was just a little fall, so why was he unconscious

    AUTHOR’S POVElle trembled as the question caught her off guard. She cocked her head to the side as she watched him. She wondered if she should lie or avoid it. All of a sudden, the air felt suffocating, and all she wanted was to run away, but she couldn’t. Escaping now might mean leaving her baby behind, and that wasn’t an option right now, or ever. “Tell me,” Theon whispered earnestly in a way that threatened to make her waver, “I know I don’t deserve to demand it, but please.” He pleaded. Elle looked away, unable to meet his gaze, and so she could hide the flicker of pain in her eyes. Her fingers curled into fists, with her nails digging into her palm as she fought for the best way to put the answer. "I didn’t plan for feelings.” She confessed quietly, “I didn’t plan to fall for the man who was the cause of my ruin, but life decided I didn’t have enough problems and fooled my heart into thinking it was wise. I was a fool to let it happen.”Theon didn’t know why, but he felt con

    AUTHOR’S POVIf it wasn’t for the disbelief on Theon’s face, Elle would have thought it was all a mistake and he didn’t know who she really was, but the silence wasn’t just because he didn’t hear, it was because he was struggling to believe it.Elle. No. Eleanor Sterling stood still, head high, as Theon fought to find a trace of the woman who had walked out of his life five years ago, but there was not a single trace left of her. This wasn’t Eleanor. She was someone else who was claiming to be her. But Theon knew this was just him struggling to refuse the words she had just spoken.“You are Eleanor?” Theon found himself asking again, even though she had already admitted she was.Elle nodded slowly, that bitter smile not leaving her lips. The masks were off. The truths were out, and the emotions of anger and hatred she thought had disappeared with Theon’s love came rushing back, harder and stronger than she remembered.“That’s right, Theon. It’s me. Eleanor Sterling. The same woman you

    ELLEWe had been waiting for a while now. It’s been hours since the doctor took the blood from Theon and disappeared behind those doors, and yet, we have had no update on whether it was successful or not.Sophie squeezed my shoulders gently almost every second while my grip on Jeremy tightened with each second that ticked by.Seconds bled into minutes, minutes into an hour, and every tick of the hospital’s clock grated against my nerves. I had never been good at waiting, and it didn’t help at a time like this.“Elle,” Sophie whispered as I jumped to my feet. I had alternated between pacing and holding Jeremy in a death grip multiple times this night.“You are going to make yourself dizzy if you continue like this,” She sighed. “Please, sit down.”I shook my head, “I can’t relax. Not until the doctor gives us the update that I want to hear,”She sighed in defeat, knowing she wouldn’t be able to persuade me. After what felt like hours, the doors opened and the doctor stepped out. I rush

    THEONAt that moment, I forgot how critical the situation was as the world came to a halt, and I forgot how to breathe. I looked from Elle to the doctor, to make sure I heard correctly.“What?” I whispered. That was all I could say because her words made no sense. It sounded like a joke, an expensive prank that was not right for the place we were in.How could she say something like that when our child was fighting for his life? We couldn’t waste more time, and here she was, spewing rubbish. Did the grief get to her? Because there was no way that was the truth.“What… what did you just say?” I whisper, not recognising the sound of my own voice. “Elle, what do you mean…?”But Elle was done listening to me. Her hands slammed against my chest, weak and trembling as she shoved me in the direction of the nurse, “Just go, dammit! Go and do the damn test!” she screamed, and her voice cracked on the choked sob. “If you care at all about him, if you love him even a little, then don’t argue wit

    ELLETheon was angry at me when I got to the car. “Couldn’t that have waited until we took him to the hospital?” He snapped at me when I entered the car, and I flinched. It was the first time he had ever yelled at me.But I wasn’t angry. I understood. One look at Milo in his arms, and I broke down again as the car began to move.“I’m sorry that I couldn’t protect you,” I cried out, clutching Milo’s hand as gently as I could so I didn’t hurt him more than he was.“He is going to be fine,” Theon whispered, his voice had lost all the hostility. “He is still breathing. Our baby is holding on, Elle, so we can’t give up on him. Wipe those tears,” Theon commanded softly, and I nodded, wiping my tears with trembling hands.I clutched Theon’s shirt to maybe borrow a little bit of courage from him as the car sped towards the hospital.Every passing minute was like a ticking time bomb. We didn’t say anything. We didn’t have to. The silence carried all our unspoken words. The grief, fury, and hop
