WE WERE DESTINED

PrologueNothing stays perfect forever. No one lives a life untouched by hardship. Pain is inevitable. Some wounds go so deep they leave scars on the soul, leaving behind only shadows depression, anxiety, and fear. Elara knew this too well.Despite juggling a demanding job under a very strict boss and an exhausting university schedule, she couldn't shake the emptiness clawing at her chest. A young girl curled herself into the corner of a dark cupboard, pressing her tiny hands over her ears to block out the heartbreaking wails of her mother. Tears streamed down her pale cheeks as she peeked through the keyhole, her heart pounding like a war drum."No! You can't leave me! Please....No!"Her mother's screams sent a fresh wave of terror through her. The raw agony in her voice made Elara's body tremble harder. She wanted to run to her mother, to throw her arms around her and stop the pain but fear held her captive.But then, her mother’s tear-streaked face turned towards her, her swollen

"Ahhh, Liam! Faster, please... "The woman underneath him said, her face is filled with pleasure as he's thrusting inside her. Moving faster and faster than before.Liam was gentle earlier when he realized that she's a virgin, and he had to be gentle to her.But when minutes had passed, he couldn't control himself. The woman felt good, and it's making him crazy.He was now thrusting deeper, faster and rougher than before, making her scream in pure pleasure."Ahh! Harder! Harder Liam! ""F*CK! Elara-a... Sh*it you're so f*cking tight! Ughh... "He said, groaning in pleasure. The woman's eyes rolled back in fun. Liam groaned as he pinned her wrists above her head and kept on thrusting."Ahh! Faster, please... "She begged, which made him move faster. He was now pounding hard inside her, with moaning and skin slapping sound filling the room."Ughh! You feel so good, baby! ""Mmhh! Ahh! I- I'm coming, Liam! "Liam's thrust became desperate. After a few minutes, he felt her liquid wrapped a

Elara went to rest after coming from work; with her body drained of energy, she passed out and slept till morning. While laying on her bed with the morning sun in his face, he felt nausea kicking in. Elara thought about how she was feeling throughout the week, and this month, she felt more tired day by day.She remembers how nauseated she got the last couple of weeks and how it got so bad that she sometimes wants to stay in bed not to go to work.The suspicion she had on her mind made her very nervous and frightened, so she tried to push that thought away; she doesn’t want to think about it anymore. To clear her mind, she comes to the hospital earlier than scheduled. She tried to prove her thought wrong. She was waiting patiently while playing with her fingers and looking at the ceiling. She didn't know why she was feeling nervous. She hoped and prayed to God that it wasn’t true what she was thinking.But maybe I just need to rest, right? I mean, I've been working all day and night j

Liam's mouth hangs open, and his eyes widen in shock. Everything happened so fast. He tried to process things in his mind. He couldn't think straight. " I'm pregnant, and you're the father. "Her words keep on repeating on his head. He never expects that this will happened, and reality hit him. He didn't use protection that night! And now, he's having a baby to a stranger. He doesn't even know her, he only knows her name, and that's all. He regrets that he didn't use protection; this girl Infront of him is carrying his child. Is she even a good woman?

He looks at her with his still shock expression. " A-are you sure t-that's mine? "He said in shock. Elara nodded. " Yes. I'm sure it's yours. "He ran his hands through his hair and took a deep breath. Relax Liam! Think! Think! After a minute, he finally calmed down and told

Elara walked inside her new apartment that Mrs Owen bought for her. She put down her luggage and look around.The apartment looks expensive, and it's too big for her. Of course, Mrs. Owen purposely bought a costly and big apartment just for her because she wants her to feel comfortable." Is this okay to you, sweetie? Do you need anything else?
