Elena’s POV

“Are you sure they’re coming?” I ask as I inspect my nails, sitting on the table with Uncle Marcus. “After last night, I don’t think Tristan will show up. He’s too much of a coward for that.”

“You need to remember that he has a lot of pride too, it seems,” Uncle Marcus says. “I figured that calling for his partner specifically and not him will make him angry. He will come here, you’ll see.”

As though on cue, the restaurant doors open and two men come in. Even from afar, I instantly r

  • She Returned with Genius Babies, He Regretted   Chapter 75

    Elena’s POVThe moment Tristan’s lips touched mine, something in me woke up.The memories rushed in first. Our wedding night, how awkward it was and how it didn’t even manifest into anything. The next couple of nights after that, when it finally sunk in that we were required to consummate our marriage.It was sparse, those moments. Spread so far and thin across the years we’ve been married. I could only count it in two hands, the times it has happened, but when it did, it miraculously turned into life.It wasn’t particularly enjoyable to me. And I don’t think it was enjoyable for Tristan either.Except for the night that made me conceive my twins.He was different then. On fire. He almost seemed desperate. It was the first time I felt any genuine pleasure outside what my biology requires me to feel.For the first time that night, I understood passion.And now, I understand it again with him.Tristan’s lips are urgent, full of promise. Full of desire. It’s almost like he was a caged an

    Tristan’s POV“Look at them have so much fun!” Mom laughs as she shows a video footage of media people running after Alexander. “God, no one deserves this harassment more than this man.”“If you can call him a man,” Mira quips, and they both laugh.It’s still very strange, the way they morphed into being friends after everything that happened. We’re all now in the country club for brunch, which Mira is enjoying very well.It’s as though nothing happened.Ethan is out there in the yard, happy as ever. Like he didn’t just almost drown last night. Mira is laughing with my parents, like the past few years never happened. It’s also as though we didn’t just fire the only house staff I have that has lasted for over five years.I’m still reeling from everything. It doesn’t help that we found nothing else in Diane’s room. It also seems like the computer is completely untouched. My IT boys told me that nothing has been breached, and according to my house security, they haven’t seen Diane sneaki

    Elena’s POVI stare at Alexander, trying to assess his emotions behind the mask of determination. That’s when I see that he’s serious about his suggestion.But I don’t see why he would be.“Grace?” I repeat. “Why?”“Because I firmly believe that Tristan wasn’t the first person she approached when she thought of stabbing you in the back,” Alexander says, gripping my arm. “I know it sounds crazy, but I think she talked to Mira first.”It’s not far-fetched. I already got that feeling when I found out that Grace had turned on me. I figured that of course it had to be Mira—no one else has been able to spur anyone into complete hatred like her.But this is just reckless.“Are you forgetting that Grace almost killed you?” I ask, taking my hand off his grip. “We can’t talk to her ever again.”With that, I turn around to leave.However, Alexander’s next words pin me to my spot.“But she could be the only way to clear your name.”Slowly, I stop and turn around.“This isn’t about me,” he explain

    Elena’s POV“This is really bad.”This is the only statement that keeps playing in my mind. Constantly on repeat. Never stopping. Never letting up.It’s the next day already. It should be a fresh start. I should feel more motivated after finding out what they all intended to do last night. But instead, I woke up with a killer headache even though I didn’t drink a drop of alcohol last night.I’ve gotten dressed. I’ve taken the kids to temporary daycare while their admission to the new school is getting sorted. They will be watched over by guards, so I don’t need to worry about them.It just gives me time to worry about everything else.Especially now that the news has hit the waves.The words from the report are still ringing in my head. Mastermind. Calculated move. Cunning and manipulative….I don’t even know where those words came from. All I know is that I’m in deep shit.“It can still be fixed,” Uncle Marcus tells me as I get ready to leave. “My team is on it. We’re working directl

    Tristan’s POVThe party is over now, but I believe it has ended way before my parents decided it was time to let everyone go home.We’re still in my parents’ house. Mira and I are in my dad’s study. I told her that we should talk, but right now, I have lost all my words.Mira just watches me pace the floor, eventually breaking the ice.“Thank you for standing up for me,” she says, her voice low. Tired.I was prepared to get mad at her for what happened. Breaking open Alexander’s wounds. Being completely untethered when she confronted the twins. I was ready to lay into her.But hearing her vulnerability makes me stop.“I… I’m sorry,” she continues, shaking her head and staring out the window. “I should’ve conducted myself better out there, I know. I should’ve handled it better. But it was Ethan we’re taking about. Elena’s kids might not look like they’re capable of it, and I know Ethan isn’t the best behaved out there, but I know he would never lie.”She starts to sob into her hands, a

    Elena’s POVSeeing the blood blooming from under Alexander’s shirt like a cursed flower changes something in me.Mira tries to go for more, but I’ve already snapped.I push her. Hard. Feeling a dark wave of satisfaction seeing her fly away from Alexander and land on the grass on her butt. She looks at me in complete outrage.“You bitch!” she yells at me, trying to get up.But I stand over her and grab her hair, making her stay still even though she’s clawing at my hands.Then, I deliver the hardest slap I can muster.The smacking sound fills the space, rendering everyone silent. They all just watch as Mira falls to the ground again, clutching her cheek and gasping. I can see a hint of blood on her lip. My hand is smarting from the impact.I know that I’m the one who’s coming out bad here, but I don’t care.I pick her right up from the ground and slap her again.“Elena!” Tristan calls out to me. “Stop it! Your sister is pregnant!”This time, even Alexander tries to intervene. Miraculou

Slowly, I turn to face Alexander, expecting him to snap and tell all of us to leave.I called him a monster. Then I told him to shove it. And now, my son asked him if he’s their father. S
