As Elena said, she did enjoy traveling and seeing new, bustling places. However, she's been so busy juggling two or three jobs and saving money that she's afraid to even shop for necessities like underwear even though she knew she needed one or two to replace the old, worn-out ones.She began to wander around the mall, looking around with sparkling eyes. She hadn't been doing this in a long time. The last time was when she and Henry were still in school, and they were on a study tour to the city. She remembered that day in the past, where she forced a smile on her face even though she was so sad and almost crying, thinking she could never come along because she didn’t dare to ask for some money to her guardians at the orphanage for the study tour. When her teacher called her name between the students that would go on the same bus, she was shocked, scared, and happy. She wanted to ask her teacher that her name there maybe a mistake there, but before she did that, she caught Henry looki
Elena sat in the middle seat of the car in silence, staring at her newly issued passport. The small booklet wasn't as simple as it seemed. It turned out that this thing could take her anywhere in the world—if she had enough money, of course.Just as Henry said a few days ago at the cafe.Let's go abroad, the two of us, he said….Elena sighed and tried not to tremble as she remembered what her best friend had promised her."Don't you want to continue your studies? Let's get out of here. I'll enroll you there. We can live without pressure from anyone. You can live freely without having to serve that depraved man." She still remembered his every words.Elena's eyes were already filled with tears, just like they had been that day. Henry looked at her with pleading, almost desperate eyes. He knew what Zachary had done to her, and it had devastated and embarrassed her the most.So was she still that valuable in Henry's eyes? She had caused him so much trouble, and nearly endangered his life
“You… work here too?” Elena asked even though she could already guess the answer.Henry looked like he wanted to nod, but he hesitated. More like embarrassed.“I came here because…”“Henry! There you go!” They turned toward the source of the loud, grunt voice, and sounded like a panting and upset man. Elena could see an older man, similar in height to Henry, but with a pot belly and only a few strands of hair left on the sides of his head. The man looked like an older version of Henry.“I’ve been waiting for you, boy. I thought you’d run away again, you little brat…” He stopped, noticed several pairs of eyes staring at him and immediately looked at Elena.Elena noticed the old man's slightly surprised gaze when he saw her. It was as if he recognized her, even though she was probably the only person in the building without an employee badge.“Uh… Well… It turns out Miss Elena is here.” He bowed awkwardly, which Elena immediately returned it. She then remembered that this man was Henry’
Elena walked out of the restroom door after fixed her dress hurriedly in order to mask the awkwardness she felt after finishing her business in on the stall inside the room. No woman’s restroom here in Zachary’s private floor. Even though Daniel guard her from outside the door and rarely people other than Daniel himself that using the restroom, she still felt weird about it.She cleared her throat and walked comfortably in the beautiful floral dress Zachary had chosen for her. She'd rarely worn dresses in the past. It wasn't like she hated wearing them, but that she simply didn't have a nice dress she could wear every day. Since moving in with Zachary, he'd provided all the clothes she liked.She is happy, and she'd be lying if she said she doesn't. But that's also what makes her anxious sometimes.Is this okay? She thought.She met Daniel, who was already waiting for her. The man bowed his head politely as he saw her walking towards him.Elena pursed her lips as she looked at him and
Zachary Dawson returned to the hotel that very night, greeted by Elena, who was still awake, clutching on her stomach. The cramps on the first day of her period were always excruciating, and usually, it would be much more than this.That night, Elena was busy trying to convince Zachary that they didn't need to go to the hospital or call a doctor. She even snatched his cell phone, made him a little stunned by her sudden, unexpected move, and hide it in her pajama pocket so that Zachary can’t call any of his men or the doctor regarding this embarrassing stuff."I told you there's no need for that!" She pouted, crossed her hands over her belly after she finally got his phone in her pocket.“Then? What should we do about the pain?” He sighed with his hands on his hip. “You can’t just leave it like that.” Zachary remained adamant. He felt frustrated that he couldn’t do anything for her. His little kitten was obviously not well and in pain, and he couldn’t do anything about that. No wonder
What really happened in the inside was quite different from the surface. Elena was not the tough.All the way to the room, she kept overthinking about what had just happened.Miss Dawson definitely didn't like me at all, she thought. Zachary Dawson's stepsister was clearly looking at her with disdain, even though she spoke to her in a gentle voice.Well, she'd never hung out with people like Svarna. Of course, their social status was vastly different. Elena understood if Svarna disliked her; it would have been perfectly natural for her to simply spit on her. But what made her even more suspicious was the way she spoke, she seemed tried so hard to be as gentle and friendly as possible.There was no way someone like that would want to associate with a lowly, uneducated servant like Elena. Because of that she could already notice there is something not right within her humble offer.It wasn't just Svarna. She also realized that Zachary had plans against her. And it seemed his plan had su
