SERENA'S POV "Oh the heavens surely have eyes!""Let me see it again. Show me please!"I chuckled. Pulling up my top for the fourth time just this evening. Everyone smiling and staring like it was some special globe of destiny. Celeste been the worst of them all. The very culprit to my continuous belly display.I should just wear a crop top at this point."I still can't believe it." She said, smiling. Eyes bright. Smiles brighter. "I can't believe I'll be having grandbabies at once! Two!""Have some tea at least," Rosa dropped in front of her, smiling too. Urging her to take something. She hadn't since we she came here, since we arrived back at the house.At first we stopped by her place, to deliver the news. But we only got told she'd gone to ours instead, making us come home to her more than eager to jump on our bodies. Excited.Purely excited to see us.Together especially.It was her long hard prayers. Then she found out about the pregnancy, and now about it being twins too!You
SERENA'S POV "Are you okay?""Yeah, I'm okay." I chuckled, holding his hands. "Are YOU okay? Like really okay.""Yeah sure," he said, shrugging. Interlocking our hands.Hmm."Are you really sure, cutie?" I pressed, surprising him. "You've asked me if I'm fine 6 times already. I'm now worried for you.""Oh, I err...I just wanted make sure."Hmm."Okay," I sat back, letting it go. "It's okay, you know. To be tensed, surrounded by big bellied women... crying babies."He smiled, "It's going to us, isn't it?""It is cutie," I confirmed, smiling. Then we sat in silence. Waiting like we've been doing for the past 30 minutes.Then he broke it,"You know I've been wanting to ask...why are you suddenly calling me Cutie?"I turned to him, laughing right out upon seeing his face. The genuine curiosity sitting there. Gray eyes blinking in both confusion and innocence."What," he pulled at me, not understanding."You're cute." I said, calming down."I'm not cute. In fact, I think I find the word o
SERENA'S POV The rest of the day was spent in absolute bliss.Bliss unimaginable!The staff all sitting at the table for the first time in a long while. Chatters filling the air, laughter, jokes, memories being told, of things that happened while I was away. The things that happened the period I left, how Eliot reacted, almost fired them all and so much more!Eliot was also at the table during all of these. His very first time ever to sit with his staff. Talk about laughing, talking or joking with them.All he did was dish out orders before now. But now that was going to change. He sat with us, didn't he? He even laughed several times when Rene was spilling all about the gossip she packed online about May and my entire family!Apparently my mom had made a circus at our gates. Several days even. Several times.But Eliot did not pay her any mind. Didn't chase her away either. She even involved the press, but I saw no such news online.I guess my schemer of a husband had that handled
SERENA'S POV They're a lot of hard decisions.Tons of them if you think about the life span of the human life. Imagine how many hard decisions we have to make as we grow, age and live longer everyday.They were a lot, and rightly so spread out in our years.But why did mine seem different?Why did mine seem to come more in my early age?? Why?Since I could remember, I'd forced to take decisions. Decisions people of my age wouldn't normally take, I'd been forced to make those decisions and then try to live in those decisions.From living with my father and family, to shrinking to protect myself, talking less, submitting more, accepting to be treated like trash and without complaints. Then getting married, living in the marriage, getting divorced or at least attempting to, building a business, reconnecting with an old friend... everything.Everything just seemed so hard and all at the same time.I could barely get a year of rest. I'd never gotten a year of rest, not even a month of res
ELIOT'S POV "Court arise!"The voice filled the air before I could even move a muscle. Everyone rising just then.Including her. Myself joining. Looking from the judge coming in and back to her.She didn't look in my direction once though, just right ahead. Spotting a white flowy dress. One that reached up to her ankles, her black hair in a normal ponytail, a white scarf wrapped around her neck too, covering her arms.If I didn't know I'd think she here for a funeral or something. Or she'd been crying."Did something happen?" I muttered, staring at her openly as we sat back down. Worry in my belly.What could've happened?I knew she quarrelled with Axel, but anything else happened? Did he hurt her?My head whipped right back to her at the thought, almost rising. John's steady hands catching me just in time. Surprised."Sir,"I blinked. Sitting back down, surveying my environment, the judge at his desk, another person reading off stuff. Recordings from the previous hearing probably.
ELIOT'S POV I didn't want things to go this way. Didn't want it to escalate to this level, get to this point and dragging back all these old things...But he asked for it.He definitely did. So I let him have it then."From helping you to settle down, keep out of problems for a few months, getting along with your wife, and then implant the fashion idea. Arranging people to help with the idea, the smooth running of everything. The business, cause as we both know, you're way too reckless to run anything right."He held my stare. Disbelief.I sipped from my glass then, the air quiet. Finally quiet. His brain adjusting. Understanding. Cause he needed to. He needed to get it, and be done with this misbehaviour he's been exhibiting."I did it all," I finished. "I did it as compensation. T you, and well maybe for... For family. We do share a surname after all."He scoffed at that. Scornful. Malice boiling in his eyes, digging like sharp daggers. As usual. Only thing now it was more obviou
ELIOT'S POV I stared at her, stunned. The fury in her eyes growing, getting more intense. "I saw the contracts," she said, "I saw you change the contracts. I saw you change it and insert her name specifically on those documents! You wanted her, didn't you? You wanted to marry her. You wanted to
SERENA'S POV I drove into the night as I headed for the estate belonging to the one man I called my father. For sure they’ll all be present. This was too big for them not to. I was surprised they were only contacting me now, when the video had gone viral hours ago. My phone still buzzed with more
ELIOT'S POV With that I stepped on the gas. Not caring for the traffic on the streets, or the warning lights from the speeding too fast. Switching lanes, bypassing others, I sped into the night. Wanting to head over there before the thoughts of her being trapped again ate me alive from within!He
ELIOT’S POV “Sir, there’s a woman online saying she’s your mistress and pregnant with your child!” I looked over at him, not even bothering to respond to such ridiculousness. “The video is all the place, sir. Everywhere.” Still didn't respond. This wasn't the first time news like this went li
