LOGINELENA POV I laid in bed waiting for Aldric to come home and my mind kept going back to Elara's attitude earlier. I couldn't help but wonder if I did something wrong to her. I turned on the bed again with a sigh, and then there's Aldric I was just this close to telling him the truth but his father's illness had to disrupt my confidence. Well at least I now know something about me Harrison that can keep him alive and well.But, when again will I get the chance to speak with Aldric. Maybe I should try tonight, but he will be exhausted from work or he would be happy to hear what I have to say. I decided to text Aldric, I picked up my phone and typed,“Hey, dear husband…I'm waiting for you. I hope you get home soon, I think I'm ready to tell you what I've been meaning to say.”I clicked send and immediately closed my eyes. It didn't take long before Aldric read my text but he didn't reply. Why didn't he reply? Maybe I shouldn't have texted. Of course he would be tired when he gets back f
ELENA POV “Aldric, I have something to tell you.”“Really? What's that?” Aldric asked with a smile.I opened my mouth to say something, anything at all but no words could come out of my mouth.Aldric chuckled, “Why aren't you saying anything? Is what you want to say huge?”“Well, it is and I don't know how or where to start from.” I chuckled nervously, “Hey,” Aldric said, taking my hands, “I…I don't know what is going on with you, but I want us to be like we used to be. El, if something's wrong you can always tell me, I'm right here.” Aldric said reassuring me with a smile.I took a deep breath feeling reassured. Aldric loves me, if I tell him the truth maybe, just maybe he won't hate me. Maybe he'll understand me, he might be upset for a while but he'll come back to me, right?I just need to try and see.“I know you are,” I said resting my forehead against his, “I just don't know how you'll react to the news, I….I think you'll hate me.”Aldric pulled away resting his palm against m
ELENA POV I chuckled as I left Elara with her Mom, she must have noticed that I practically ran away. I suddenly ran into someone making me lose my balance but I was quickly caught by strong arms. I opened my eyes to see it was Aldric that kept me from falling.“Your knight in shining armor is here for your rescue.” Adrian said with a wink, I frowned standing up.“Thank you,” I said roughly “You're welcome.” Adrian said with a smile, “I haven't seen you in a while, how's our baby feeling?”I gave him a side eye walking past him, “MY baby is fine,” I said, making emphasis on the my.“Okay,” Adrian said following me, “You went for a swim didn't you?” I didn't give him a reply so that I don't indulge in any conversation with him, which is clearly what he's looking for.“You know?” he continued, clearly not wanting to satisfy or give me what I want, “It's been awhile since I last saw you in your underwear or naked.”That statement made me freeze. I quickly turned around facing Adrian,
ELARA POV Ever since James sent me that text, I haven't been able to rest properly.I sat next to the pool with Elena but I couldn't concentrate on anything she said. I kept picking on my nails, sending quick glances to my phone every second waiting for James to call.“Elara, Elara are you even listening to me?” Elena asked from the pool.“Huh?…uh, yes I am. I just…can I talk to you?”Elena nodded quickly coming out of the pool, she took her towel and sat next to me.“Tell me, what's wrong?”“I…” I began fidgeting, “Well, I just wanted to know…if someone texts about something and they don't do it, do you know the reason behind it?” Elara looked at me confused, “What are you trying to say? Can you be more, I don't know, clear?”I inhaled, “When someone close…”“Elara?” We both turned to where we heard the voice from and Aldric's Mom stood there with a smile. She looked around before saying,“Elena, how's the baby today?”I stared, still shocked by her sudden change in character, “I'
ELARA POV Elena has been acting weird since the day of her baby shower. What's wrong with her?She often spaces out, hardly saying a word or eating. She doesn't even spend time with everyone including Aldric who she claims she loves. I could see Aldric yearning for a word with her but it's like she's completely off the grid.I worried about her but I'm sure she's fine, now that Aldric's Mom knows about the truth she has been trying to compensate me for all the times that I wasn't around. She decided to take me shopping, buy me healthy tonics since my parents said I was sick and weak, God my mother can be too much.Well, at least I was getting a lot of attention as Aldric's wife even though I wasn't sleeping with him in the same room or talking to him or being a doll in every party he takes me to. It is a dream come true, I love things the way they are now. I wish we could stay like this forever, so peaceful.I smiled walking towards the kitchen to get a glass of water. It was past
ELENA POV We sat in the dining room eating.Elara was so happy eating, same with my Mom and Dad. Aldric's Mom was eating not without saying a thing or two to Elara or my Mom. I felt out of place but I couldn't help but watch everyone's expression with my mom's words lingering in my head.I couldn't stop thinking about what my mother said and the reason behind it.Did Aldric's Mom suggest it?Does Elara know about it?What's happening behind my back?“Elara,” Aldric's Mom said, looking at me, “You aren't eating.” She stated softly shocking me, “Huh?” I said, shocked. Why did she care?Was it because I was pregnant with her grandchild?“You food, you barely touched it.” She said again, making me stare skeptically at the food.“Oh well, I'm not hungry that's why.”“Why….But Aldric immediately said, cutting her off, “Why aren't you eating? Is the food not to your liking?” He was staring at me for a reply as he held my hand.“Well,” I began looking at his mother then at mine before look
ELENA POV I stood in the living room frozen as I thought of what to cook.Well, I should at least see the ingredients, yeah?I thought as I walked into the kitchen. On the island lay different types of ingredients, some chopped, some arranged and others were still, well, how they're supposed to be
ELENA POV “Shit.” I moved away from Adrian pulling his dick from inside me.“What are you doing Elena?” He whispered.“Shh,” I shushed Adrian as I moved to the door, “Maria?”“Yes ma'am.”I breathed a sign of relief, “Well, uh, I will be there shortly I just finished having my bath,”“Alright, ma'
“Excuse me?” I asked confused, “I don't understand.”“At the airport,you looked like you were running away….” Then she paused and gasped, “Where are my manners, you probably don't even remember me.” “Yeah, I don't.” I said with a furrowed brow.“Oh,it's okay. We only spoke for a few minutes, that
ELENA POVI couldn't digest much during dinner, all I could think about was what was going to happen when we went to the Johnson's house.Just thinking about it makes me want to empty my stomach.I quickly left the dining room to go get dressed.
