Elena POV

“Leave me alone, Alex,” I whispered, brushing his hand away from my shoulder. I didn’t mean for it to come out so harsh, but I just… couldn’t anymore.

My body was tired. My heart felt bruised. My head was full of noise. Everything ached—my back, my legs, my chest, my soul.

I just wanted to be alone for five damn minutes. But of course, he was still there. Hovering and watching me like a hawk.

Not that I'm exaggerating things but even when he wasn't with me, he still kept a maid on my tail.

Sometimes I even feel like the CCTV cameras are watching me.

He blinked, taken aback. His lips parted like he wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

“Elena…” he said after a second, softly. “What’s wrong? Talk to me.”

I let out a shaky breath and slowly sat on the edge of the bed, fingers curling around the edge of the blanket.

God.

Where do I even start?

“I don’t know,” I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper. “Everything just feels… wrong. Off. Heavy.”

I mean this is what I

  • The Billionaire's Accidental Bride    Chapter 97 - Suffocating care

    Elena POV After I finally got rid of Alex, I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding. Tears welling up in my eyes. He now knows that I'm pregnant. What if he takes the baby? What if I won't be able to live here anymore? Thinking about all the horrible things that might happen in the next hours made me hungry. I looked over at the food the nurse had brought in earlier and began digging. As I took the glass of water my hand should slightly. Yesterday night made me shiver. If Alex hadn't come just in time, would Pete have really taken me even as he knew I was pregnant? Was that how horrible and desperate he was? How could I not have noticed all this while dating him? To have thought that I was going to marry that riffraff of a man was a nightmare and I thank God I didn't oversleep in. Would I say that the betrayal was a blessing in disguise. Oh God! And to even think that he was the one who sent Lucas to rape me. I shook in tears. What have I ever done to

    Alex POVI was still standing there, stunned, shocked and regret written over my face, when Nick barged into the hospital hallway.“Alex, what the hell happened?” he said, almost out of breath. “Is the baby okay?”Wait.What?I blinked. “What did you just say?”He paused, looking guilty as hell. “…The baby. Is it?”“You knew?” My voice was low and deadly. “You knew she was pregnant and didn’t tell me?”Nick didn’t even flinch. “Yeah. I knew.”I clenched my fists.“And you didn’t think I deserved to know?”“No,” he snapped. “Not after what you did. Not after how you treated her like garbage. She trusted me, Alex. I wasn’t gonna betray that for you.”Betray me?The fuck man! We're brothers for crying out loud and you choose her over me? Bro code.But I could only say those things in my head because his actions were justified. I have been a bad husband more than a good one.I looked away, my jaw clenched tight, my heart heavier than it had ever felt.Before I could say anything back, th

    Elena POV He grabbed my chin, pinning my hands to the floor as I struggled with all the strength left in me. “ Let go” “ P….Pete, I swear to God, don’t touch me.” “I know you still want me,” he whispered. “You just don’t know it yet.” “No. No, I don’t. Get off me!” But my voice didn’t sound strong anymore. My limbs weren’t fighting like they should. My vision blurred. I felt him trying to touch me. I slapped his hand away, but it was clumsy, weak. “Pete, please” “You don’t have to pretend anymore,” he murmured, brushing hair from my face. I jerked away. Tears blurred my eyes. I couldn’t tell if it was fear, rage, or the drug finally kicking in fully. My chest hurts. My arms felt like lead. “I’m not doing this,” I whispered. “I won’t... let you” My voice faded as he forcefully claimed my lips. I could feel my sanity slipping away. My body wasn’t listening anymore. My limbs felt crushed beneath me and my body felt hot by the minute. I tried telling myself that this wasn't wh

    Elena POV Days passed after my fall out with Alex. Everything just went smoothly.On the outside, we looked fine. The perfect couple, still living in the same house, still sharing the same bed. Still pretending.But everything was far from just fine.The more I pretend the more we drifted apart no one wanted to confront each other anymore and I guess this was best.I still secretly went to my appointments ofcourse with Nick always by my side. Even though I told him he didn't have to he still insist saying “ I'm the uncle of this child, no one can stop me. Not even the father” Those were always his words and so far he had really been a good help and headache.But my belly was starting to show. Some mornings, I couldn’t even suck it in properly. My baggier clothes weren’t working anymore. I caught Alex glancing at me once in the mirror. He didn’t say anything, but my heart nearly stopped.He couldn’t find out. Not yet.I needed to leave. Fast. But the question kept looping in my head

    Elena POV Sorry?He's sorry?Did he just throw those flimsy words at me after almost endangering my child's life and not showing concern about it?The nerves. The audacity.I stared at him dumbfounded, my mind spinning in every direction but calm. My throat tightened as I struggled to keep my cool. I took a deep breath “ just to make things clear" I said sharply, my voice surprisingly steady. "I do not accept your apology and we should continue the way we were before. That's less disappointing” I turned to head up but paused on my track and glancing back over my shoulders. “ No need to worry about Nana, I'll make sure to put up a good act for the both of us” And with that I walked off not bordering on caring if he was listening or staring or stood up with that stupid blank expression on his face.What nonsense. Throwing a mere apology in front of me like what he did meant nothing.I don't even give a damn to what he and Catherine are up to after all it's a contract marriage but hi
