MasukALDRIC POV I chuckled as I watched Elena storm upstairs annoyed.She looks cute when she's angry, well, as long as she's not upset with me. “Aldric, this is serious. Why would you want to be with someone who…”“Why are you here without informing first? I'm sure I made it clear last time you visited about your visitation arrangement.” I asked my Mom with a raised brow,“Uh…but that was when Elena wasn't around. Can't there be a difference now? You're after all now a father.”“Mom.” I let out a sigh as I took a seat on the couch and my mother joined me, “Please accept Elena, she's really the sweetest person you'll ever meet.”“Don't you understand, son? She's taking advantage of you because of the child she delivered.” I rub my eyes as the words left my mother's lips, “Take a look at Elara, she doesn't hide her true colors, that's…that's a real person.”“Mom.” I groaned but she completely ignored me as she continued whatever she was saying.“Just right now, you have no idea how your w
ELENA POV Aldric's Mom stood there staring daggers at me as Aria stood up looking between Aldric's Mom and I.“Hello, ma'am. I'm Aria…”“Does it look like I want to know who you are? You dare come into my son's house to beg and you, Elena,” she said, turning her attention back to me, “You had the guts to welcome a beggar in my son's home?”“Ma'am,” I said softly as I slowly ran my hands through my son's hair so he didn't know how tense or nervous I was, “Aria isn't a beggar, as a matter of fact she's a lady of influence just like you like them. She's just in a bit of a situation and….”“Your rambling makes me more annoyed.” She sighed using her hands to fan her face, “This is exactly the reason why I don't want my son to…”“Mrs Harrison,” I said a bit loudly in a warning tone as I stared at her with a raised brow , “Jayden love,” I said bending down to his level with a smile, “Mommy needs to talk with Grandma, do you mind waiting for me in your room?” I asked with a smile.Jayden fro
ELENA POV I was shocked and annoyed at the same time with Aria but I needed to hear her out. I knew how scared I was being pregnant and all alone. I helped Aria back to her seat as we both stared at each other in silence. I let out a breath as I kept staring at Aria.I smacked my lips and asked, “So, you're pregnant for Marcus?”“I'm so sorry.”“Stop,” I said a bit loudly, as I let out a breath, “Stop apologizing, I..I understand that it all happened suddenly, right?” I asked.“Well, I…I just wanted to feel like I've got something going on for me. I..I didn't sleep with Marcus because I love him, I did it to get back at you. I'm..I'm so sorry.” Aria said looking at her fingers as she picked on them.“Aria, you look like a mess. Now you had sex for the first time and you got pregnant…”“Five times.” She said cutting me off.I stared at her confused, “Excuse me?”“Five times. We had sex five times.” She said suddenly so concentrated on her toe nails.I scoffed, “Wait a minute, Marcus b
ELENA POV “What is Aria doing here? I didn't know you were both, in speaking terms.” Aldric said only to my hearing.I let out a sigh, “No, we're not and I have no idea why she's here.” I said quietly as I stared into empty space.Aldric waved his hand so Maria would go back to whatever she was doing. Aldric held my chin and turned my face so he could see my face.“Do you want me to go meet her instead?” Aldric asked softly.“What? No, no I don't think that's necessary. I…I think we should just ignore her. I don't have anything to say to her.” I said calmly as I finally took a bite of my food, “I've lost my appetite, let go upstairs.” I said. Suddenly standing up as Aldric stared after me.“What…what about dinner?” I heard Aldric asked.Not wanting to turn around, I answered, “I said no appetite. So come upstairs.” I said walking up the stairs.I heard Aldric call Maria, making me freeze on my step. I wanted to hear what he was about to say. Immediately I saw Maria walking in.“You c
ELENA POV I sat down in the dining room waiting for Aldric to come down after putting Jayden to sleep.I stared at my untouched plate of food as I remembered what happened a few hours ago.***FLASHBACK***“I don't want your daughter to marry my son, what part do you not understand?”My father sighed standing up, “I understand that the situation wasn't exactly nice from the start but our children are far past that stage now…”“Must I repeat myself!” Aldric's Mom yelled, making me subconsciously take a step back.Aldric held me by my waist and whispered, “Are you okay?”I nodded, blinking repeatedly, as my heart hammered in my ears.“This is very simple, I don't want my son to marry twice from the same family. How do I face society? My friends?” Aldric's Mom exclaimed, making me swallow.“Mom, that's enough.” Aldric's voice echoed through the house silencing everyone as they turned to face us.I immediately wanted to hide behind Aldric but he wouldn't let me. He held me close enough th
ELENA POV “I still don't understand what my husband and son see in that girl.”I froze as I overheard Aldric's mother's conversation over the phone. Aldric and his family wanted to officially state our relationship by visiting my family with gifts and all. Aldric's Mom excused herself to take a call and I offered to bring more snacks from the kitchen and that was when I heard Aldric's Mom talking over the phone.“Honestly, I wish they could see right through her like I do.” She chuckled, “I do plan to make her regret disrupting the peace in my family. Now Adrian,” she huffed, “He's a shell of himself. He hardly leaves the house and it's all because of Elena.”I gasped quietly as I took a step back bumping into someone. I turned around to see it was Elara who looked pissed, she swore under her breath about to take a step forward but I quickly held her hand pulling her back as we entered the next room just as we turned.“Wow, are you kidding me?” Elara exclaimed immediately as I close
ALDRIC POV I haven't stopped smiling since I got to work this morning. All I could think about was Elara. How sweet and innocent she was last night, yet she did that to me.Even during the meeting I just kept smiling like a fool.“Sir? Sir!”I looked up from my laptop to see my secretary looking a
ELENA POV “Elara.” I froze as I heard Aldric's voice come from behind me.“Shit your husband is here.” Nina said.I smiled as I turned around on my chair, “Aldric? What are you doing here?”He smiled brightly at me as he walked over to us, “Nina,” he acknowledged her as he placed a kiss on my lip
